"A story is a story because it's something that's gone. We used to eat maggots, but now we don't eat them. Don't be afraid, they are willing to wait until they come back from the battle, and then swear that they will come back after the battle. ”

Yu Qian'er shook her head and said, "No, you're also scared, you see that you have pinched out the beeswax finger prints." ”

Jian Chen looked down at the wax model and said with a smile: "I'm not scared, I'm happy." ”

"Happy? What are you happy about when they sleep? ”

Jian Chen didn't answer, he couldn't understand the reason and his sister's explanation, so he simply didn't explain.

Seeing that Jian Chen didn't answer, Yu Qian'er took his hand and said reluctantly: "Tell me, don't you say that I have this matter in my heart, it's like seeing someone queuing up unevenly, and I always think about it in my heart." ”

"Okay...... How so? I ask you, is it sweet or bitter? ”

"Sweet, of course."

"Why?"

"Because I've eaten it."

"If you haven't eaten it, I'll tell you directly that it's good to be bitter, will the clansmen believe it?"

"Yes, we believe what you say."

"That's it. I didn't say anything about them, they tasted them themselves. Of course I was happy. ”

Yu Qian'er tugged at her braids, thought about it for a long time, didn't understand what her brother meant, and was a little stunned.

It's actually very simple, because Jian Chen doesn't want to be a god.

If he wanted to be a god, maybe the story would be different:

In the beginning, Jian created heaven and earth.

Men and women are mixed, and children know only their mothers but not their fathers.

Jian said that if there is a marriage, there will be a marriage.

He saw that monogamy was good, so he separated monogamy from marital marriage......

He hated such stories.

It's not that he wants to have a marriage to have a marriage, but there will be a natural time when it should be, although it is primitive and rudimentary, and it is only based on sexual taboos, but it is also a kind of progress.

For the time being, food has not been harvested, there are not enough prisoners of war obtained in the war, and the dominant position of men has not yet been reflected, and this kind of reciprocal marriage can and can only appear.

It's not that the tanuki and the bluegrass are out of the times, it's precisely because they fit the era - except for only sleeping with each other as a bargaining chip equivalent exchange, there is nothing else, the property is still public, and the only thing that can be put on the balance is each other.

Yu Qian'er couldn't think of this, she was still stunned, and was patted by Jian Chen: "Okay, don't think about it, let's go see them, and by the way, tell the clansmen that you always have this matter in your heart." ”

The two of them walked into the room, and when Lan Cao saw Yu Qian'er's expression, she smiled and said, "You, what a rabbit with long ears." Brother, you know? ”

"I know, this is a big deal, I have to talk to the people, let's celebrate."

Soon, Yu Qian'er told all the people about it, and the people crowded into the hut, full of curiosity, they had never encountered such a thing, because it was unprecedented, so it was worth celebrating.

Chen Jian saw that the old grandmother and the stone were coming, and squeezed to the two of them and said, "The two of them are the first, and there will be a second and third in the future." ”

"yes, it's time to celebrate."

"Not only to celebrate, but also to tell others through celebration that women should not look for tanuki and men should not look for bluegrass."

"Well, when is it going to be celebrated?"

Jian Chen thought for a moment and made an excuse: "Why do you say they are doing this?" ”

Several women giggled, "Of course, to sleep together in the future." ”

"When do you sleep together?"

"At night, I still have to work during the day."

"Then let's celebrate at dusk, so that after the celebration is over, it will be night, and we can sleep together. In the future, when others do the same, we will also celebrate at dusk. There will be more such things in the future, there must be a name, right? ”

"So what should it be called?"

"Since it's to sleep together at night, since it's dusk to celebrate, let's call it dusk, right?"

"Faint?"

The clansmen chattered for a while, and thought it was good, and it was easy to understand. After dusk, it was night, which was the purpose of the two.

The sound is the same, anyway, there is no word faint yet, and someone will explain it from the perspective of yin and yang alternation in the future, as for waiting until the text appears, the homonym is different. Originally, the wedding was written as a faint ceremony, and although the reason was not compatible with Chen Jian's excuse, at least there was one more word that he was familiar with.

Marriage, in fact, is not just about sleeping together. From the perspective of ancestor worship, marriage is the union of two people, the starting point of the birth of a new life, and can be regarded as an important event as sacrifice. If there are no descendants, how can anyone come to worship their ancestors?

People always die.

The men of the tribe wondered who would sacrifice themselves if they died. Who will remember themselves?

They feel that the tanuki is different from themselves, and even if the tanuki dies, the children of Lancao will know that it is the blood of the tanuki and will remember this person. But when you die, it's different, no one will remember you, the children will only remember your mother.

There was no need for Chen Jian to say anything, the clansmen naturally thought of this, and the continuation of the bloodline was the greatest proof of their existence in this world.

But it's not enough to just pay attention, and Jian Chen wants to use this opportunity to change something.

He looked at the group of people crowded in, and said in a half-joking, half-tentative manner: "Congratulations to your tribe for having such a good woman." ”

After he finished speaking, the whole room was silent, not only cold, but also terrifyingly quiet.

Lan Cao looked at Jian Chen uneasily and said, "You guys...... You don't want me anymore? ”

Not only her, but everyone else was looking at Jian Chen, not understanding what he meant at all.

Jian Chen hurriedly explained: "No, of course I want you, you are still my sister." But you don't just want to sleep with him, do you? Don't you want to eat together? Usually together? ”

Lan Cao was relieved at this time, and said strangely: "But our two tribes are already together." ”

"What about others in the future? When those tribes come, what if others like other tribes? ”

"Then why should I go to their tribe? Why don't you let the tanuki come to our tribe? ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi and the others immediately said, "That's not good. ”

This is just a knee-jerk reaction, and it has nothing to do with blood kinship, it has nothing to do with interests.

Men can't leave the tribe, and they have to rely on men to plow the land, and women can't do this work. You can't just let a man go to another tribe.

In addition to the cultivation of the land, the spoils of war were also involved, and the slaves captured last time were not only ploughing the fields and digging trenches, but also the women who spun a lot of twine. The slaves of the future will be divided according to the number of men who will go to war, and no tribe will let go of such interests.

This is no longer the era when women gathered to sustain the tribe, and if it were, of course they would be willing to let men leave and women to their tribes. Not only can you have more people to collect, but you can also have more children.

Chen Jian's clansmen thought the same as Shi and the others, but the position of the buttocks was different, so they naturally felt that it was indeed good to have an extra man, and shouted one after another: "Why can't it?" I think let's let the tanuki come to our tribe. ”

Tanuki and Lancao didn't expect that the two of them just wanted to sleep together, which caused such a big wave, and they were both a little uneasy.

Jian Chen coughed lightly, turned around and said to the clansmen, "Be quiet." Now it's Lancao going to other tribes, so what can I do if the women of other tribes find men from our tribe in the future? Always make a convention, so that you don't quarrel in the future. Let's think about it in the future, don't you look for women in the future? Don't want your blood to stay? If we let the tanuki come to our tribe, will other tribes take this as a practice and let men go to their tribe? ”

Only then did the clansmen calm down, and after thinking about it for a long time, they felt that this was indeed the case.

"In addition, there is nothing to think about between our four clans, everyone is together, in fact, it is the same whether they go or not. But in the future, if you get into a coma with other tribes, you will have to think about a lot of things. Our pottery, alchemy, and kiln firing are all things that can be exchanged for things, and they are all done by men. Our men have gone to other tribes, what should we do if we talk about these things? Can we still get something? ”

After speaking, he comforted Lancao and said: "Sister, you are still my sister, you can be wherever you want, can we still let you eat when you eat in the tribe?" Besides, your brothers and sisters are all in this tribe, and they are no different from before. It's just that you have to think about other tribes in the future. ”

"Women want to continue their bloodline, and men are the same, and they also hope that someone will remember them after death in the future, and that person can only be their own bloodline. Just like me, I know my mother, but I don't know who gave birth to me with my mother. If not, my child will not know that the other half of his blood is mine. ”

The men nodded, it was what they had always thought, they just never thought about what to do.

After a long time, Lancao turned around and looked at the tanuki who was full of anticipation, and finally nodded: "Okay." ”

Jian Chen turned around and said, "This is my suggestion, let's talk about it, do you agree?" If you agree, it will be the same practice with other tribes in the future, and women will come to men's tribes. ”

The clansmen were silent for a while, and then looked at the old grandmother together.

The old grandmother sighed imperceptibly, as the head of the clan, there were only two things to consider.

The continuation of the bloodline and the interests of the clansmen.

Now it seems that the life of the clansmen is getting better day by day, and if she lives for one more day, she will be able to see many different places, and she no longer needs to think about life.

From the perspective of profit, she can perceive that men are becoming more and more important now and in the past gathering era, and she also understands that the interests of the tribe today are to keep men as much as possible, rather than sending them outside.

The continuation of the bloodline, she sees it more far-reaching than others.

In the future, the continuation of the tribal bloodline depends on men rather than women.

Women of foreign tribes will continue to come to their own tribes, and women of their own tribes will continue to leave for other tribes, and in the end, it is only men who maintain their bloodline.

When he grows old, the entire clan will never have a female leader again...... If she was young, maybe she wouldn't have agreed. And now, as long as the bloodline continues, that's fine.

She suddenly felt that she was faint and ...... It's really like dusk.

Isn't dusk the time the sun sets at night? When the prayer comes, the age of the female chief will come to an end, and the men will begin to shine like stars.

However, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as the bloodline continues, there will always be people who remember themselves. For a man is also his own son, the son of his own daughter.

And I, I'm old, and it's almost time to be remembered.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it." ”
