Chapter 2 Drinking Blood and Hair
After the Su family came out of the cave, they did not immediately go back to the cave, but gathered together and whispered.
There are five brothers and sisters in the Su family, and the three brothers are all warriors, and his father is the second. The old family gave birth to three daughters, and the third family also had two daughters, only he had this room, and Ma Mu only had one son.
Su Yang's eldest son and little son (aunt) did not marry, but recruited sons-in-law from other clans, and each gave birth to two daughters. These two sons-in-law, that is, Su Yang's uncle, naturally can't be warriors, they do chores in the tribe on weekdays, and they are not even qualified to enter Matsu's cave for dinner.
In this way, Su Yang has a total of five cousins and four cousins, and together with him, there are as many as ten children in this generation. There are also twenty-one small clans in the Su family.
Originally, when he was young, it was a woman who went out to hunt, and later because of the casualties, several of Matsu's sisters did not survive, and in the end, in order to preserve the bloodline, Matsu let the men in the family fight, and tried his best to recruit sons-in-law for his daughter.
However, although the women of the rock tribe do not participate in hunting, their combat effectiveness is not low, and they are not necessarily worse than the male warriors, which is a bit like an alternative lion pack.
From Su Yang's point of view, the Rock Tribe is in the late stage of the matriarchal clan, and the male warrior will take power sooner or later, not to mention anything else, if he wants to risk his life to hunt, and then distribute the meat to other families, he doesn't even have status, he will definitely not do it.
But now there is no way to change it in a short period of time, because the five elders of the rock tribe are all Matsu of each clan, and more than a dozen qualified warriors of the tribe are also the biological sons or grandsons of these five people.
Therefore, if Su Yang ascends to the top and preaches the supremacy of male power now, then the end will definitely be tragic, and maybe he will marry him, a money-losing goods, to other tribes.
When I came back to my senses, I saw the third aunt holding a slippery little girl, and said quickly: "I heard Mother Ma say before that you can't learn witchcraft more than the age of Manjie (ten years old), and my eldest girl is just right." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eldest aunt immediately retorted, "Your eldest girl is about to complete the festival, so it's better for my second girl." ”
The eldest aunt and sister-in-law also hurriedly interjected, they both had two daughters, and they also rushed to say that their daughters were suitable for witchcraft.
Su Yang listened on the sidelines, and after his brain supplemented the translation and understanding, he had already figured out what was going on, it turned out to be a witch. Just when he was dismissive, he suddenly found that there was no memory about what Wu did, only that Wu was very powerful, and Matsu was very respectable because he had followed Wu when he was young and learned a little bit of fur, so he is now very respected, and he is very good in the Rock Tribe. Even if someone from the outside came, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Matsu.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that as long as he becomes a witch, he will directly become taller, I wonder if he can learn witchcraft?
Just when he wanted to hear more news, he was picked up by Ma Mu and left, and after a while, he returned to a small cave where his family lived, and he could have a separate residence, although it was a cave, which was already very good, mainly because the population of the rock tribe was not large, and there were really many caves, which was a treasure.
"Dundun, do you also want to learn witchcraft?"
Facing Ma Mu's inquiry, Su Yang scratched his head, he was indeed a little excited just now, but before he figured out what Wu was doing, he wouldn't be so impulsive for the time being.
Who knew that Ma Mu said again: "Dundun, don't think about learning witches, all the warriors of the rock tribe went out to hunt this time, and the things they harvested plus the tribe's storage over the years are only enough to send two people to the big tribe with totems to learn witches, if you are a girl, there is still a little possibility, but you are a boy, don't think about it." ”
Su Yang was stunned, this is too much for women over men, who said that men are not as good as women, my brother will change his name to Su Shengnu now.
"Ma Mu, what does a witch do, can't boys learn witches in other places?"
Rong Shi recalled for a moment before replying, "Wu can talk to the gods, is the elder of the big tribe, and even the leader, and knows a lot of skills. On the other side of many mountains and rivers, there is a place where the Chao clan lived, and there is a male witch ......"
Su Yang probably understood, anyway, Wu is very powerful, and his status is higher than that of a warrior. Boys can also learn witchcraft, but in the current situation of the Rock Tribe, his chances are extremely slim.
Wait, he suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly asked: "Ma Mu, did you say that the Youchao clan lives in trees and builds nests like birds?" ”
"It's living in a tree, and the Chao clan is a big tribe, but now that the Chao clan has moved away, I don't know where it went." Rong Shi happily answered for his son, and his naughty son would not care about these situations in the past.
Su Yang scratched his head, lamenting that the history teacher died early, he was a science student, and he really couldn't remember the history of the primitive tribe period, of course, some information that appeared frequently, he still had a little impression, since there was a Chao clan, the rock tribe would also drill wood to make fire, although there were no bronze tools, but various stone tools appeared, so speaking, the civilization of the tribe should not be too low. Even if this is not the ancient period of the earth, there should be a place where civilizations have something in common.
"Dundun, we have a lot of mountains and rivers here, and the tribe with Tao is the largest, and they have pottery, and they can cook delicious autumn mud with fire, all of which are from your Matsu." Rong is teaching his son that the more he knows, the wiser he will become.
Su Yang was stunned again, he didn't expect pottery to appear, but he didn't know how to fire pottery, so it didn't matter, but pottery can be used as a pot, and it can improve diet, okay, it's too far to think about this.
Next, the mother and son ate around the fire, and the tubers of the plants could be put into the fire and cooked and eaten, and the taste was okay, but Su Yang couldn't eat what it was, and he felt that there was a lot of starch in it, and it was not a problem to maintain life.
At this moment, Rong looked at the entrance of the cave like a thief, and then found a handful of eggs in the dry grass in the corner of the cave, and whispered: "Dundun, you are weak, eat these eggs quickly, and grow your strength." ”
Su Yang is no longer surprised, in his memory, the Rong family has secretly hidden all kinds of bird eggs many times, but they are all for him to eat, and in the tribe secretly hiding undistributed food, this is a felony, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be expelled from the tribe.
So you have to be cautious and take a lot of risk when doing this kind of thing.
"Thank you, Mamu." Su Yang is really grateful, although the Rong family likes to beat him, but he also really loves his son.
Rong didn't understand what Su Yang meant by saying thank you, so he replied with a big grin: "Open your mouth and eat, long strength." ”
Su Yang was a little entangled, and finally raised his head and opened his mouth, and then Rong pinched the bird's egg, and the egg yolk and egg white mixed together and flowed into his mouth, the fishy smell was very strong, but the nutritional value was high, and as Rong said, after eating these eggs, I felt full of strength.
"Dundun, when you are older, after the full festival (ten years old) go hunting with you Ye Ye (father), you can drink the blood of the beast, and drink that one to have more strength." As he spoke, Rong stuffed the broken eggshell into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Su Yang saw that Ma Mu was eating eggshells, and it was too late to stop him, but he was not worried, because in his memory, he had also eaten eggshells and did not have indigestion, which could only be said to be a change in the environment.
Drinking the blood of the beast, which is the welfare of the hunting warriors, each warrior is equipped with a sharpened bamboo pipe, when hunting, he rushes up, presses down the beast and inserts the bamboo pipe into it, which can not only suck the blood of the beast, but also make the beast lose too much blood and die. However, the warriors were not allowed to eat the meat they had hunted privately, and they had to bring it back to the tribe and wait for the unified distribution among the elders.
Thinking of drinking animal blood raw, Su Yang was a little frightened, and he couldn't break through the obstacles in his heart, if it was cooked, it would be fine, but unfortunately there was no pottery in the tribe.
"Mamu, can I be a warrior too?" Su Yang thought for a while and asked. He didn't want to hunt for his life, but wanted to learn some means to save his life, so he had to make himself strong.
