Chapter 815: Trading and Snatching Relatives

The name of the tribe where Chen Kan belongs is called "Xuanniao", which was originally called "Blackbird", which has no special meaning, that is, because the totem of this tribe is a black bird, so it is called "Blackbird".

The so-called "black bird" is the piece of wood that was struck by lightning when Chen Kan sneaked in before, Chen Kan couldn't see that the piece of wood looked like a bird, but it was the totem of the tribe, so Chen Kan also followed the customs, respected their customs, and regarded the wooden block as a totem.

Chen Kan felt that the name "Black Bird" was too ugly, and "Xuan" happened to mean "black", so he changed it to "Xuanniao", originally Chen Kan thought that this was not easy to change, but Chen Kan saw the priest's right to speak in this era for the first time, and the name of the tribe was easily changed.

In this era, divine power and royal power are still inseparable, because there were no priests before, so there was no patriarch in the Xuanyao tribe, and when things happened, several more prestigious people discussed and decided.

After Chen Kan became a priest, it was equivalent to becoming the patriarch of this tribe and had extremely high rights, so the change of name did not cause any waves, of course, this has something to do with the fact that the name is just a symbol.

Then Chen Kan re-planned and laid out the tribe, the first thing to renovate was the sanitary environment, the sanitary environment here was too poor, the strength of more than 400 people in the entire tribe, it took two days to renovate the layout of the entire tribe, at this time the housing is built with wood, whether it is demolished or built, it is not troublesome, as for the chopping, this Chen Kan can do it all alone.

All the excrement is disposed of in the fields, and now is the autumn is not the time for planting, so we use the excrement to improve the soil first, and then wait until the planting season is up.

When it comes to the fields, we have to talk about their planting, the tribe has begun to grow crops, but it is just planting, which means that when spring comes, the seeds are sown, and the autumn goes directly to harvest, that's all, there is no management.

When Chen Kan saw the field for the first time, the millet was not yet ripe, and then Chen Kan was dumbfounded, the weeds were half the height of the millet, which was completely natural, which was called "pure natural", and Chen Kan immediately organized people to clean up these weeds.

Chen Kan has read a lot of books in the previous planes, especially in the Fengyun plane, the library of Tianmen can be said to be all-encompassing, and there are all walks of life, Chen Kan wrote down all these books in order to learn from martial arts, and it came in handy here.

From the production of pottery to the painting of patterns, Chen Kan can make very exquisite pottery, not that Chen Kan does not want to make more perfect porcelain, but now there is no need for this, the most important thing for the tribe now is the problem of food and clothing.

Chen Kan improved the weapon, because he didn't find iron ore, so Chen Kan's idea of smelting iron could not be realized for a while, but the improved weapon was also more lethal than before, and it could be used for the time being.

Not only that, Chen Kan also taught men how to set traps, how to better track prey, and how to kill prey quickly; Teaching women how to handle plants, although in the long practice they know what plants are poisonous and what plants can be eaten, they do not know that some poisonous plants can be eaten after special treatment, which is also an important food source.

Breeding, this kind of technical thing can not be missing, Chen Kan chose to raise rabbits, rabbits are relatively easy to raise, and the reproductive ability is super strong, is the most cost-effective way at present.

After twenty days in this plane, Chen Kan took the initiative to go out, of course, with a mission, with fifty young adults and an elder, with a bunch of items, and walked for a day to a tribe called "Giant Bird", which is also a tribe with birds as totems.

Of course, it was not to invade, but to do business and solve the life events of these fifty young adults, which did not need Chen Kan together, but in order to see Chen Kan for a long time, Chen Kan also followed.

One of the characteristics of marriage in this era is that the men of the tribe want to marry women of other tribes, and the women of the tribe want to marry men of other tribes, which requires the man to go to the woman's tribe in person.

It's barely a blind date, but it's actually a red fruit transaction, there is no such thing as love at all, it's just an exchange of interests.

The man's tribe needs to come up with a bride price, and the so-called bride price is not useless things such as gold, silver and jewelry, but some more practical items, such as pottery, weapons, furs, clothes, food, and other things.

If it is in a large tribe, then these bride prices need to be paid by the married man himself, but Xuanyao is only a small tribe, and privatization is not obvious, so these things are provided by the village uniformly.

How many things can be exchanged for a woman, these are regulated among various tribes, and the stronger the tribe, the higher the price of a woman with the stronger survival ability.

Of course, women also have the right to choose, out of biological instinct they will choose a man with stronger ability, the so-called strong ability, on the surface, is to see whether the man is strong or not, which is directly linked to his hunting ability.

And the most intuitive display is the ornament, after the man hunts and kills the prey, he will keep the most obvious signs on the prey as decorations, such as the fur of the tiger, if a man wears a dress made of tiger skin, then the man can get a very good woman, not even a bride price, if you are lucky, you can also paste one upside down.

Chen Kan almost enjoyed this treatment, because Chen Kan was wearing a leopard skin, and leopards were more difficult to hunt than tigers, but to be honest, the woman at this time really made Chen Kan feel nothing, it was too rough.

With twenty well-made pottery, the Xuanniao tribe took fifty women from the giant bird tribe, and then traded the things they brought with the giant bird tribe in exchange for some daily necessities, and the most important thing was salt.

I didn't encounter anything special when I was in the Giant Bird Tribe, but on the way back to the tribe, I encountered something, a group of unfriendly people.

Many people will see a custom in some places or film and television works, called "snatching relatives", this custom is not born out of thin air, it has evolved slowly.

At this time, there is a robbery, and the "robbery" here is not a game, it is a real robbery, and the difference is that the modern robbery is from the woman's house, and now it is from the man's hand.

Eighty strong men appeared in front of Chen Kan and his party, each holding a spear in his hand, and almost shouted: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass by from here, and leave the woman." ”8)
