Chapter 44: Surnames and Marriage
When the young deer were caught, they tied them to their necks with ropes, and no matter how much the young deer struggled, they could not get rid of the ropes around their necks.
There were several deer on the ground that had not been shot, and they let out a desperate cry as they watched the humans slowly approaching them, and the people did not let them suffer for long, and ended their lives with their spears.
Such a big harvest made people's faces full of joy, carrying the carcass of their prey, leading the captured fawn, and returning to the tribe with a smile.
The people left behind in the tribe saw that Wang Lang had such a big harvest in half a day, and they all put down their work and ran over to watch.
The children kept teasing the young deer around the young deer, and the three young deer trembled in fright, and the adults were obviously very interested in the dead deer, and pointed around the carcasses of the deer.
"Seeing that there is no such place is simply a treasure given to us by God, and the animals here are stupid, as long as I have strong teeth, it is as easy to catch them as it is to catch lice in my hair." The strong teeth are showing off their gains in people.
"Okay, Jianya, don't talk big, if it weren't for the patriarch's plan, how could we have such a harvest." Just as the strong teeth were dancing and talking, the horn said lukewarmly next to him.
Jianya's face was suddenly choked by this sentence, and he stared at the horns angrily, this guy thought he had a temper with himself at first, but since he got acquainted with people, he had to compare himself with himself if he had nothing to do, which made Jianya more and more unpleasant the more he looked at the corners.
Not to be outdone, the horns glared at Jianya, and the two of them stared at each other with bull's eyes, a posture of wanting to knock each other down.
Wang Lang looked at the two of them as aggressive as two stags in estrus, and couldn't help frowning slightly, Wang Lang was really a little big about these two energetic bulls in the tribe.
"You two can do it, this is everyone's effort, everyone's contribution is the same, if you two have to fight for a high or low, you two will wrestle and compete, let everyone make a judgment! What do you guys think? Wang Lang looked at the two cockfight-like men with a smile.
"Lang, what is wrestling." People asked curiously.
"Wrestling is to put each other on the ground, aren't the two of them convinced by anyone, just let them try, save their eyes every day."
After listening to Wang Lang's explanation, people who were seriously lacking in entertainment suddenly became interested and shouted for the two of them to hurry up and compete.
"Humph! Horn, do you have the guts to fight me! He looked at the horns with his teeth unsharpened.
"If you don't dare, I'm afraid that you won't admit it if you lose." Horn retorted unflinchingly.
Jianya laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, okay, let's see who is the best warrior in the tribe!" ”
It seems to be human nature to watch the excitement, and when encountering such an interesting thing, the rest of the people spontaneously stepped back a little, forming a circle and surrounding the two people in the middle.
The two handed over their weapons to the others, and slowly approached, and the two looked at each other as if they could spark into each other's eyes.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Lang suddenly stopped the two people who were about to make a move.
Wang Lang suddenly had an idea in his heart, if this competition was preserved as a tribal tradition, on the one hand, it could increase the tribe's martial spirit, on the other hand, it could cultivate people's sense of honor, and even settle the chaotic relationship between men and women.
People looked at Wang Lang in puzzlement, seeing that the two were about to fight, and at this time they suddenly stopped, just like being unplugged in the middle of a game.
"Don't worry, everyone, I want to use this to establish a tradition for our tribe, every full moon night, anyone can challenge the strongest warrior of the tribe, and the winner will be rewarded, what do you think?"
People thought it was just an ordinary fight, but they didn't expect that there were so many strange things, and every full moon night, people could see such interesting things, and people were naturally willing to do so.
"Lang, what's that reward?" Huo asked curiously.
Speaking of which, Wang Lang actually has a headache about what to reward, the current tribe is completely Datong society, and everything is collective, but after thinking about it, as a man, what he pursues is money, power, and women, since the first two things cannot be achieved for the time being, then only women can arouse men's competitiveness.
And at present, the members of the tribe are not related by blood, they themselves are not clear, Wang Lang does not want to make any close relatives to reproduce such a ruinous thing, and if a deformed child is born and dies, it will be a troublesome matter.
The only people in the tribe who can be sure that they are not related by blood are himself and Blackstone, and if the condition is a woman, then the choice of Jianfang is only one option for Redfish, while Horn has more choices.
But women are not commodities after all, although Wang Lang hates feminism, but he still respects human rights, after all, that is the bottom line of being a human being, and as a modern person, Wang Lang does not want to make a slavery system.
Ethics and morality are important criteria to distinguish between humans and animals, Wang Lang wants to subtly change people's concepts, let people accept the new mate selection system, for the current tribal population composition, polygamy is certainly unrealistic, if a person occupies too many resources, those who have no spouse and energetic young men, can do anything with a hot head.
After thinking about it, Wang Lang said solemnly: "In the future, the winner can have the right to give priority to the pursuit of his spouse, and others can not have any obstacles, but they can't find the opposite sex with similar blood, if the woman is unwilling, they can't use coercion, if the woman accepts you, the two can't find other members of the opposite sex after the union, and anyone who violates these will be expelled from the tribe." ”
Through this competition, it is also a good thing to try the monogamy system, after all, this is obtained by strength, and everyone will not have strong psychological dissatisfaction.
Seeing Wang Lang, who is usually easy-going, talking about this matter so seriously, people listened carefully, and everyone was shocked when they heard the words of expulsion from the tribe.
"Lang, what is considered to be close by blood?" Someone asked.
"The three of them are of different bloodlines from the previous ones, and I am of different bloodlines from you, in order to distinguish them, I decided to add a title in front of each person's name, and I will call this title a surname, if there is a new tribe to join in the future, take this as an example! People with the same surname cannot combine to have offspring. ”
Although Wang Lang's words sound very complicated, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually no different from the previous customs, and it is also recognized that people of the same tribe cannot have children, but it is not as specific as Wang Lang said, and people have no resistance to this matter.
"Lang, what's our last name?" Dark Cloud asked.
"My surname is Wang, which means patriarch or chief, and you can call me Wang Lang! The three of you take Hei as your surname, and the rest of you take Lin as your surname, which means that you are people who came out of the jungle. ”
