Chapter 43: Is It Okay to Sleep With Me Alone?
The coldest days were finally over, as if the flames rising from the furnace drove away the cold winds, and the sun grew higher and higher day by day, and the nights were no longer so long.
For more than ten days after the successful copper smelting, Chen Jian has been kneading beeswax in the house.
The beeswax accumulated during the warm period finally came in handy, and there were no ash poles or ash worms here, and beeswax was the only source of wax.
The old grandmother had already made a model of the child with clay, and after Yu Qian'er saw this little clay child, she was scared for several days, and she couldn't figure out how it was born, and she always wanted to ask those cousins and aunts, but she didn't think it was very good, since she put on the clothes, she seemed to understand what happened to the body covered by the clothes, and it was best not to ask others.
Those people are still a month or two away from giving birth, and Jian Chen is also hurrying to make wax patterns of forceps. The forceps can just get stuck in the baby's head, which can be easily dragged out by the midwife, and may cause irreversible cranial damage to the baby, but it is not necessary to consider it for the time being. When people are about to starve to death, they may choke to death if they eat too many steamed buns, which is the hypocrisy of a slut.
The child is very small, and the whole forceps don't need to be big, just be able to jam the child's head, which is just the limit of today's tribal melting bronze, and a longer short sword and the like, that requires technical accumulation, and the bronze sword will not be long, it will break.
He pinched this wax model for four days before it was a bit rudimentary, and it looked like the first forceps would be bulky. Jian Chen looked at this simple wax mold forceps, and said in his heart Not to mention anything else, at least there should be no story of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan in the history of this world, because his mother will not dislike him with dystocia and like his younger brother who has a smooth birth.
The flapping of this butterfly's wings only existed in his brain, because it would not happen at all, but he didn't expect that the wings in reality had already begun to flapp.
In a hut, Yu Qian'er was chatting with Lancao, and the two of them were winding twine. These days, the speed of spinning thread is much faster, and the woman who was caught doesn't need to spin thread these days, just tell them how to spin fast, and there are fish to eat every day.
Just as we were about to talk about having a baby, the straw curtain was opened, and the tanuki walked in. After seeing Yu Qian'er, she smiled and took out a very small stone and shook it in front of her eyes.
Yu Qian'er's eyes were immediately drawn to the small stone, which was an irregular, only the size of a fingernail, and it was blue-green.
Some of them are muddy, but they look very beautiful, like the feathers of some water birds, they are not transparent, and there are traces of smashing in many places.
The tanuki took one and shook it in front of Yu Qian'er's eyes and said, "Do you want it?" ”
"Yes."
"Then you go out, I'm going to talk to your Lancao sister."
"Okay."
Yu Qian'er took the stone, wrapped the tail of a wild beast around it to block the cold wind around her neck, pushed open the straw curtain and stood outside the house, put the little stone in the snow, and watched the sun's rays shine on it.
But her ears were as long as a rabbit, and she wanted to hear how the stone came from.
In the house, the tanuki took out several small stones of the same kind, and Lancao put down the thread in her hand and grabbed the slippery stones with joy. Women are always like those birds who love to dress up, and they can't resist this temptation of brilliance.
"Looks good, right? In a few days, I will smash a hairpin for you with gold, and decorate it with these stones, it will be very beautiful. ”
"Where did it come from?"
"Wasn't it alchemy a few days ago? What I found in those slags, shining in the sun. ”
"Didn't my brother say what it was?"
"It seems that this is slag glass? That's about how he said it, he gave it a random name. There are very few of these things, he said that he can't refine them, and it is difficult to find them in the slag like a deer running into the clay pot by itself. It's all mixed with the slag, but here's it, I stoned it, and it was so sharp that my hands were cut. ”
He raised his hand and showed Lancao the wound. Lan Cao said distressedly: "You go to Song to ask for some herbs, but don't hurt too deeply, he can't do his work now, and he can't hold the bone weapon, you have to be careful." ”
The tanuki nodded, first put his hand in his arms to warm up, and then stroked the belly of the blue grass, lay on it and listened to the child's movements, haha.
Lan Cao looked at this man who could do everything fast except plowing, and his heart was warm, he was one of the three people he liked, and he was also the one who often gave himself some good things or played the bone flute.
Originally, all three of them were the same, but now she seemed to like this man a little more, because she liked to see this man being praised when he built kang for other tribes, and she also liked the cry of him charging in the snow by the river with thirty men.
Everyone used to be the same, but since the change of the Jianrang clan, people have gradually become different from each other, and strength is no longer the only criterion for choosing a mate.
After a long time, the tanuki raised her body, let Lancao pilllow on her lap, helped her hold her hair, and suddenly said loudly: "Lancao, will you only sleep with me in the future?" I don't sleep with other women anymore. ”
Lancao was stunned for a moment, and the tanuki sighed: "When I see those two people also giving you something, my heart will hurt very much, just like drinking a whole jar of apricot vinegar, and sometimes it seems like being stung in the heart by a bee." I haven't slept with another woman in a long time, and I just want to sleep with you in the future. ”
Lancao's face was a little red, and she didn't know what to say.
After a long time, the tanuki continued: "I only sleep with you, the child is mine and yours, and that is the continuation of our bloodline in this world." You know, I'll build bricks, and no one in any tribe can build them better than me. You know, I'm the captain of one or two, and the thirty men will listen to me when I fight. I'm also the fastest runner in the tribe, and no one is faster than me. ”
Lan Cao lightly tapped his forehead and said, "I know, that's why I slept with you." ”
"Yes, I think, when the child is born and grows up, I will tell him everything about bricks and other things, so that he will be respected in every tribe like me. Ken asked me to teach those people, I thought, I want to teach slowly, and when the child grows up, I will teach him first. Also, it's the same with war, I'm going to teach him how to fight, and as long as I don't die, those thirty people will be under my control. When I die, let the child take care of it, because I will only tell him. ”
The tanuki tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Have you noticed, our tribes are different from before. Our tribe has always owed your tribe something, but our tribe is much better than those ten tribes, and this gap will become wider and wider in the future. Jian said that in addition to harvesting and planting wheat for a few days, we will only be responsible for burning bricks and kilns and alchemy. We're like ...... Well, it's like that pure white goose, which is different from other gray-haired geese, and I want my bloodline to be different from others. ”
Lancao was a little drunk by him, fantasizing about the appearance of the child in the future, this is also her bloodline, she also longs for the child to be different, to be respected, to command others, no need to weed, just go to the alchemy kiln......
In the past, every child grew up the same, but now it is different, everything has changed, everything is different from before, she is a little unaccustomed, but more still has some hopes and expectations.
Besides, when she knew that the tanuki slept with other women, and when she knew that the tanuki also played the bone flute to other women, her heart was like drinking apricot vinegar. Her original sisters were fine, and she stopped talking to those sisters who later joined her clan.
It's just that she never thought of sleeping with only one person, it was like that before, she didn't expect a radical change, and now that the tanuki said this, her heart was also happy.
Like, there must be a reason, when everyone is the same, just see who is strong. But now besides being strong, I have to compare it to other things, so why don't I like tanuki? In her opinion, Tanuki must be the best, because Ken is her younger brother, and it is impossible to have children with her younger brother.
She thought that maybe one day it might not even be the best for alchemy, maybe it would be better than something else, what she couldn't think of, but she always felt that if this change continued, there would definitely be something else to measure whether it was the best.
Maybe the tanuki wasn't the best at that time, but I still liked it, and besides, I and the tanuki still had children, and the children were the best.
So she propped herself up and said with a smile: "Okay, in the future, I will only sleep with you, and you will only sleep with me." We swear to our ancestors that if anyone disobeys, they will never be protected by their ancestors. ”
"Well, but it's too cold now, and when it's warmer after giving birth, let's go to the sacrifice hall."
"Well, I can't sleep with anyone else anyway, I have children, it's so cold, there are people in the house, don't be afraid. I'm really just going to sleep with you in the future. But...... But I don't know if this kid is yours. ”
"It's mine. Even if not, do you remember the words of that cunning woman? A falcon has been rolling dung balls with dung beetles since childhood, and it will also think that it is a dung beetle. ”
The tanuki lightly held the slightly swollen hand of the blue grass, and said sweetly: "Jian said, before harvesting the wheat beans, we will fight with the people of the Meteorite Clan." When the battle is over, it will be warm at that time, and the child will be a few months old, so let's go to the sacrificial hall together and swear to the ancestors, okay? ”
"Good. When the time comes, let's tell the people to stop coming to me and the women not to come to you again. ”
Two people are talking about the most touching love words of this era, and only sleeping with each other in the future is really the best and best love story of this era, women are still independent, and there is an economic basis to say these words at this time.
These love words were heard by Yu Qian'er outside the house, and she couldn't help but want to tell others, this is a big deal.
It's not because she only sleeps with each other, but she thinks of a story her brother told before.
The story goes that a woman gave birth to a child, and she and her people went far away to gather one of the most delicious fruits for their tribe, far, far away. The woman said that when she returned, the child would call her mother, and the woman died while picking the fruit.
She wanted to rush in and tell the tanuki that she wouldn't say anything like coming back to make an oath with you after the battle!
But he felt that he was not eavesdropping, so he hurriedly ran to the room where Jian Chen was.
She was going to tell her brother that someone was going to learn from the woman who picked the fruit, what should she do?
PS: Today may still be a shift, and there are still forty bees to be busy for a day. I'll make it up later.
