The embryo was stripped from the daughter of the Si family, who died of madness, but the embryo in her body was still thumping and beating her belly after the mother's death.

After stripping off the embryo, he originally wanted to make it into a medicinal powder according to his custom, but found that the embryo was still alive for a long time after the stripping mother.

It had grown small hands and feet, covered with gray lines, and was lying unwillingly in an unbroken mass of amniotic fluid.

Si identified it as a descendant of the ancient gods and raised it in a cave very close to the earth.

The cave used to be the place where ghosts were born and bred ghosts, and Si had seen headless four-legged monsters crawling out of it.

Either survive in the cave or be devoured by monsters.

In the end, Gala survived, but was carried by the liquid and shrank into the depths of a cavern, and then fell into silence for a long time.

Si spent the rest of his life studying the cave, and he didn't know if it was a human or a monster embryo, so that he was dying when he realized the great changes that had taken place in the tribe.

He didn't have Si's persistence, he seemed to think that since Gala had exhausted Si's life, he wouldn't hatch even more so when it came to him, so he didn't even care about the situation in the cave.

"But what if one day you are born, but no one is there, and you are scared and cry all the time?" Qian Mirage said: "Doesn't every newborn child keep crying? ”

Facing Gala, who had developed to the same age as him, Qian Mirage smiled and said, "Although it is a little doll that can climb out of the hole by itself, the little doll is very timid, and it should be accompanied, right?" ”

Gala didn't speak, and rubbed her head into Mirage's arms.

As a person who suddenly appeared, there was a lot of discussion within the tribe about her origin, and she was resolutely opposed to outsiders entering the tribe, if it weren't for the pale proof of Gara's pale pupils, she might have been driven out and even stoned to death.

The people of the tribe did not treat her well, and they spoke coldly, and the child threw a stone at the back of her head.

This is not a trick between children, who learn to throw stones in order to hunt and attack wild beasts, so the accuracy and well-controlled lethality are exceptionally amazing.

Gala often came home with a purple and swollen face, and sat there in a daze, vaguely feeling a little unhappy.

Qian Mirage smeared her wounds and asked her if she was upset.

Gala shook her head lightly and said, "It's good to be with you." ”

It's okay to sit together like this and enjoy inner peace and contentment.

In the beginning, Gala did not even have a trace of superfluous desires, and was truly like the gods believed in by later generations, without desire or desire, and with great compassion for the world.

This is probably the biggest difference between her and humans in the first place.

It is also one of the reasons why she later fell into the mire of pain from which she could not extricate herself for thousands of years.

——————

After shooting the goblins, Gala suddenly rose to the top of the tribe, and was best supplied and cared for in terms of food.

But at the same time, Gala found that the status of the mirage was very ordinary.

It is said that on the other side of the mountain, there are tribes that have established stronger and larger settlements, they have built walls to defend against foreign enemies, and they have served as officials to manage the affairs of the city, and the patriarch is called the king and has the supreme power over everything.

"Is the king the same as Gala?"

Qian Mirage painted on the mountain rock with the powder of the rock, the lines were simple and beautiful, and when she heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Gala thoughtfully, and replied, "Well, maybe, but isn't it the patriarch who is in charge here?" ”

As the adopted son of the gangster, Qianmir did not inherit the excellent leadership skills of the gangster, nor did he have any intention of seeking survival for the tribe, the gangster transferred the priestly power obtained from Si to a middle-aged woman, so Qianmir also turned to follow the priest to learn the words and drawings of the ghosts and gods, learn how to make ritual instruments, learn how to record the calendar, remind people to carry out corresponding planting and hunting activities, and remind the approach of the festival, and be responsible for the festival sacrifice.

But he also learned to be a priest, and he did not like to learn how to skin wild beasts and handle their skulls, but only liked to paint where he could reach, and did not even go to the sacrifices of the old gods, and many times Gala dressed up through the lively and joyful crowds, walked out of the realm of the empty eye sockets of the old gods, and walked into the deserted and quiet river, and found the boy sitting quietly on the riverbank.

As a result, he was treated very well among the tribes that were extremely keen on hunting, and everyone thought that the next patriarch should be another young man of the same age as Mirage, but tall and strong, and brave and good at fighting.

Because of his long-term activity in the sun-exposed fields, he has dark skin, strong muscles, and a sharp eye like a goshawk. There was a scar on his face from a wild beast, which was still white after healing, and he looked wild.

If Gala reaches the age of childbearing, then the one who is qualified to match her must be Shen Yi, just as the most beautiful flower should be matched with the most beautiful woman, people very simple and simple think that even if it is just the instinctive behavior of reproduction, it will make people choose the best and choose the one with the strongest viability. What's more, Gala has the task of giving birth to perfect and powerful offspring for the tribe, otherwise when Gala dies in the future, who will protect them from the mouth of the ghosts?

This completely simple and straightforward logic is like a blunt knife sharpened from a rough stone, naïve and vicious, barbaric and selfish unreasonable, and once it is to refute, then it is basically completely on the opposite side of them.

The Thousand Mirages couldn't even get them to put themselves in their shoes, because if it were them, they would be more than willing to choose the best among their suitors in order to produce a powerful offspring.

But Gala never thinks about such things, and sometimes she looks at her face with incomprehension and indifference to the world, and she can't imagine that Gala is pregnant, or a mother, or that she is old.

Gala was the one he brought out of the cave, taught her how to use everyday utensils, taught her to speak, like the beast cub he brought back from the cave, treating her like a little baby.

"What do you think......" Mirage asked, "How about Sam B?" ”

Gala watched him draw intently, her expression blank for a few seconds before she remembered who Sam B was, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"That is, what do you think of him as a person?" Qian Mirage pinched the stone powder in the bag, and the palms of his hands stained with water were sticky: "Do you like him?" ”

If Gala likes it, then it's okay to accept it then, a thousand mirages thought, if you don't understand anything, it's good to teach it then.

Gala looked up at him for a long time, and said slowly, "I like Mirage. ”

Mirage smiled and shook her head, her eyes bent into a beautiful shape like a crescent moon, and she wanted to explain that it was not a child's liking, but she felt that Gala couldn't understand it if she said it. Gala's likes and dislikes are very simple, liking is liking, disliking is disliking, if she is forced to eat something she doesn't like, Gala will sneak out of her house in the middle of the night, burrow into Mirage's room, lie on his quilt and get angry.

Qianmir slept until midnight and suddenly touched a hairy head, startled, and let her into the quilt with a crying and laughing, patting her gently on the back, and letting her fall asleep.

At first, the two of them had no ambiguous and narrow intentions, Gala simply sought protection and protection from the person who took care of her, just like a young beast seeking protection from a mother beast, and in the eyes of a thousand mirages, Gala could not be regarded as a woman, or a future partner, he thought about it all day long, except for his words and pictures, that is, to take care of Gala, how to teach her to be a person who is more knowledgeable than a priest, and how to understand and integrate into social life.

It is difficult for these two simple and unobtrusive people to live in the tribe.

"What's wrong with you?"

The hooligan asked as he wrapped the rope around the dried meat as he glanced at the mirage.

Qianmir's face was purple and swollen from her forehead to the entire right side, and her exposed arms and neck were covered with scars. ”

"Didn't you tell you not to compete with them?"

There is a special competition ground in the tribe for these physically strong half-sized lads to fight each other and practice their fighting skills, and Qian Mirage has watched it many times when he is a child, but as he gets older, he no longer goes.

On the one hand, he was not as interested in such activities as he was in studying his own books, and on the other hand, he was white and thin, and could not compare with those muscular people, and he could only be beaten when he went up. Occasionally, when he saw others competing, he told Mirage not to go up, because Mirage was not in good health since he was a child, and he was not able to go out hunting and grazing, and his expectations for him seemed to be to raise him safely.

Qian Mirage sighed and whispered, "Got it." ”

He actually didn't take the initiative to go to the venue of the competition, because Shen Yi couldn't get used to seeing his future wife clinging to a mirage, so he blocked him and beat him, during which other adults passed by and left as if nothing happened.

The future wife, Qianmir, licked the rust at the corner of her mouth, and was very disgusted by this idea of Sam Yi.

Sam B's attitude towards Gala is actually the attitude of most people in the tribe towards the relationship between Gara and Sam B, they self-righteously regard Gara as the future partner of Sam B's adulthood, and Mirage has no doubt that if Gara does not resist, Sam B will even go directly to Gara's door at dusk according to custom, and snatch her back to his house directly. And Gala's own will is almost non-existent in their eyes.

Gala may not even understand what he will do next, and if he is followed by a clansman shouting for help, Gala may think that this is another collective activity and will silently obey.

However, at that time, the tribe was facing the trouble of visitors from outside the mountains, and Qian Mirage did not want to add any more worries to the gangsters, so he did not say anything, hiding the fact that he was beaten.
