Chapter 423: The Current Situation of the Tribe
The mutilated limbs, the old body, the dry hair that is not white, but it must be gray in the future generations, are all characteristics of this special group of people.
Their eyes are blank, their eyes are full of cloudiness, they are the "old, weak, sick and disabled" of this era, and they are also a group of poor people.
Seeing them, especially those old people who used to be adults in their eyes, the poor people in the canyon who could be threatened by a pack of wolves, and the adults who contributed to this weak collective when Wang Yang was too young to do anything.
A sour patch between the noses.
He does not deny that his mood has changed very much recently, or angry, or anxious, or dry, and it may be that the years have made him old.
People are not old, but their hearts are old.
"How are you doing?" Wang Yang sighed and asked softly.
Everyone was sad for a while, and wrote: "Fortunately, there are few people to help us, and it is very difficult to set up a tent." ”
Fortunately, it's not good, seeing everyone's eyes darkened, Wang Yang knew what was going on.
When he made his decision yesterday, there was a small group of people who couldn't believe it, and among those people, there was this small group of people in the tent.
From that moment on, Wang Yang realized that something was different.
They must have helped Ma Thirty, why would they help him? It must be similar to his life situation.
What is the life situation of Ma Thirty? is like living in the abyss, so the people who help him must not be far from the abyss.
So he was going to come and see who Ma Thirty lived with today.
In the depths of his heart, he didn't like Ma Thirty's complaining thoughts, and always felt that someone couldn't get along with him. But I didn't think that if I fell on one side, I could get up on the other.
What do you say about that philosophical statement? God closes a door for you. will open a window for you.
The window is open, and you don't want to go out yourself. What's the use of thinking about filing a complaint every day?
But when I really see this group, I see that these old people who have contributed to laying the foundation of the tribe are also in this group.
He was silent for a moment.
At this time, Ma Yi suddenly walked in angrily, and when he saw that Wang Yang was also here, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and nodded to Wang Yang a little unnaturally.
Then he shouted loudly to the others "woo" twice, and wrote in the notebook: "Hurry up and pack your things, it's time to go!" ”
The old people's expressions were even darker, but they still nodded vigorously. There is no objection to this.
However, Ma Thirty was very unhappy, glared at Ma Yiyi, and wrote: "We don't accept tents, and we don't do anything else, we have to collect it yourself." ”
The horse was so angry that he was about to kick his foot over, but a hand like iron tongs suddenly grabbed his ankle and couldn't move.
Ma was slightly stunned. Then I became even more angry, thinking that this group of useless things has an opinion on helping the tribe do something, and now they have to fight with me! I'm going to kill you!
Just turned his head. found that his ankle was grabbed by Wang Yang, and his cold gaze fell on him, and his whole body couldn't help shrinking.
"What are you doing here? All are tribal people. It's not good to play like this. Wang Yang wrote coldly.
Ma Yi saw that Wang Yang was not going to beat him, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Hurriedly wrote: "This horse thirty is too bad to do things for the tribe." He can't go on patrol to face wild beasts, and he can't lead a herd. ”
"I don't have any other ability, let him do something and stop him, and he won't be obedient."
Wang Yang frowned: "Didn't you say doing light work?" ”
"It's light work." Ma nodded and said, "They just need to do the light work of collecting the tent, and the tent has a wooden frame, and they remove the wooden frame and fold the tent." ”
"Then there will be others to help resist the car, they can't resist heavy things and living materials, of course, they will do light work."
This is true, in the grassland, the lightest work is to pack the tent and set up the tent, there is no lighter work than this.
Repelling fauna is not something that these people with limited mobility can do.
"It's okay, you can get out." Wang Yang said lightly.
The horse had no choice but to walk out.
Wang Yang looked at Ma Thirty: "That's how he treats you?" ”
Ma 30 said indignantly: "The same is true for other people, and the same is true for ordinary people, who feel that we can't help the tribe and hate us. ”
Wang Yang sighed, the situation of the tribe is like this, everyone is ranked according to their ability to contribute to the tribe, and there is no concept of respecting the old and loving the young at all.
Naturally, the old, weak, sick and disabled have become the lowest stage of social hierarchy, even if these old people used to be very beautiful, the mainstay of the tribe, and respected.
When they are old, they are also replaced by young people, and they can't make much contribution.
It should be said that the social structure of the tribe is still the oldest law of the forest, and the law of the jungle is the strong.
"It seems that in the future, we will add some material to the teaching materials to promote the idea of caring for the disadvantaged."
In fact, Wang Yang understands that even if he adds some materials, it is useless, the most important situation of these old, weak, sick and disabled people is that they are old and have no support, and without the help of brothers, sisters and children, they cannot solve the occurrence of this kind of thing.
But do you want them to start a family with the primitive people who are done and wiped out and left? Talking about family affection? Isn't that a joke? You recognize your parents, but your parents don't recognize you.
is like Wang Yang, his wife doesn't recognize him......
He was deeply aware that there was still a long way to go to develop a complete civilization and a strong country.
It is impossible to accomplish the task of establishing a family concept and promoting noble virtues for a while, and it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, and it is still necessary to solve the current problems for the time being.
Wang Yang asked them, "How many people like you are there here?" ”
The old man was more clear about this aspect and replied: "More than twenty." ”
Wang Yang was surprised: "Do you often get seriously injured in fights?" ”
As soon as he asked, Wang Yang felt that he had asked in vain, what kind of primitive people were at this time? Orangutan breed!
The strength is greater than that of modern people, I don't know how many times, if you fight fiercely, how can you care about anything, a few punches can easily cripple people.
I couldn't find anything before. That's too few people, and there are too few people injured. It may seem like it's occasional.
Now the population base of the tribe is large, more than 2,000 people. With such a beating, there are more injured people, and I don't know if there are any dead people, if they are killed, what should be done?
It seems that there are many problems in the tribe, and they need to be solved one by one.
The camp was opened, not very quickly, even if they omitted the time to cook.
In the morning and at noon, there is no cooking, only in the evening. will prepare food.
And prepare the food for the next morning and noon.
After all, it is not easy to take care of the fauna, this is a sensitive group, and as soon as they move, they have to follow immediately, and they have to be driven in circles in the established direction to prevent them from leaving the nearby area.
Moreover, the beasts that may appear at any time on the embankment have to be transformed from a state of driving to a state of defense, or even a state of attack.
The role of the patrol is to warn everyone. And the beast had to be delayed.
These jobs are not easy, and they are obviously not jobs that the old, weak, sick and disabled can do.
For a while, the adults slowly walked away, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were packing up their tents and other things. At this time, there will also be a few prime of men left to patrol the neighborhood.
These people had to patrol, but they had a bad attitude and muttered to everyone from time to time. Ask them to hurry.
In the eyes of these people, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are a burden. Without them, I wouldn't have to stay here.
The beasts of the steppe are all goblins. Picking on the weak, the beasts that have suffered losses often sneak attack at this time.
If you haven't kept up with the large army for a long time, you may be targeted by a group or even several groups of wild beasts, and even your own life will not be able to protect yourself at that time.
Everyone also tried hard to clean up, and their movements were slow, but their cheeks were tightly pursed, obviously using all their strength.
Wang Yang could see that they wanted to contribute to the tribe, and there was no need to doubt this.
But if you have more than enough heart and strength, what can you do when you are old?
In the tribal social system, they have become excluded and looked down upon, and despite their best efforts, it is difficult for them to meet the standards of an ordinary person.
Obviously he worked hard for the tribe, but he was still bored by others, regarded as a burden, and no one supported him, not only did he not respect him, but he was innumerable and cold-eyed.
Maybe in the eyes of those old people, it is normal, and their life requirements are simple, that is, to eat enough, but they must be sad in their hearts.
As for young people with disabilities such as Ma 30, they are born with a different mentality.
Their needs are not the same, and they may not care much about being well fed because they have all been well fed since childhood.
But they were born as ordinary people, and some of them were particularly good in some way, and qualified to be important members of the tribe, such as Ma Thirty.
It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, they are unexpectedly disabled, and even the dignity of an ordinary person is gone, and they are full of cold eyes and impatience.
It's no wonder that Ma Thirty will give birth to the psychology that someone else deliberately injured him.
If this kind of psychology is allowed to continue, it will be a factor of great instability for the tribe.
But Wang Yang is not thinking about stability and instability, but thinking about how to improve their current situation.
The tents were packed, and some of them rushed in the direction of the main army, while others went back to the place where they had walked yesterday.
They are going to burn horse manure and human excrement, use natural air drying, gather and burn it.
Along the way, Wang Yang questioned the disabled people and asked them how they were injured.
"I was beaten."
"I was injured while hunting."
"When I was hunting, I didn't pull the rope properly, and I tore it off all at once."
To Wang Yang's surprise, there were not a few people injured in hunting, most of them were inexperienced and seriously injured the first time.
"It's all good, it's good." Seeing them pointing to their injuries and proudly saying that they were contributing to the tribe, Wang Yang couldn't say anything.
"Then don't you feel sad that they look at you like this?" Wang Yang still couldn't help but ask.
Everyone's eyes darkened, and an old man said gloomily: "We are very sad that we can't contribute to the tribe." "I'm so sad about this.
Wang Yang clenched his fists, pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes were sour, and he secretly said in his heart: "I want to change this status quo and let them gain respect." (To be continued......)
