Chapter 216: Poor Tribe
At night, Qin Jian lies on the chuáng, tossing and turning.
The so-called luxurious big (chuáng) is nothing more than a wooden (chuáng) with a thin layer of mattresses.
Just before he went to sleep, when he entered the house, he swept to Lan Xiang not far away, and her mother was standing behind Lan Xiang (shēn), whispering something to her, and Lan Xiang was also half incomprehensible, and her eyes were worried.
I am not familiar with life, and I know such a thing just now, how can Qin Jian be able to sleep, not to mention, this room doesn't even have a door, only a curtain is used to block it, swishing and pouring wind, and he can't fall asleep if he wants to.
Soon after, a slender (shēn) shadow appeared outside the door, and Qin Jian's half-closed eyes saw it.
The (shēn) shadow seemed to hesitate, and stood still for a long time without coming in, and then seemed to muster up the courage to lift the curtain, but then cowered and withdrew.
Qin Jian sat up directly (shēn) and said in a low voice, "Come in, Lan Xiang." ”
The (shēn) shadow at the door was suddenly shocked, and said in some surprise: "Brother Qin, you ...... Didn't sleep? ”
"Well, come in."
Lan Xiang squirmed and lifted the curtain, suddenly quickened her pace, and threw herself directly into Qin Jian's arms.
Under Qin Jian's surprised gaze, Lan Xiang began to unbutton the button in front of (xiōng).
Although she knew what the other party was going to do, Qin Jian was still a little confused by her actions, after all, whether it was her movements or her eyes, she revealed all kinds of unwillingness (qíng), as if she had been coerced.
After grabbing her hand immediately, Qin Jian comforted, "You don't have to do this. ”
"Brother Qin, I like you, I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you, you ...... Don't like me? Lan Xiang's eyes sparkled, as if the other party didn't agree, she was going to cry.
"Lanxiang, listen to me, your grandfather is lying to you, and I didn't promise to marry you."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Lan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and instantly sadness filled her whole face.
"No way, how could my grandfather lie to me? You must want to marry Lan Xiang, you must (ài) Lan Xiang......"
Without waiting for her to finish, Qin Jian hugged her tightly in his arms.
Lan Xiang was stunned again, two tears flowed down, she knew that the other party's hug was just to comfort her, not related to "(ài)".
"Lan Xiang, I don't know the culture and customs of your tribe, but I know that you are a poor girl, and you can't even decide the marriage matters by yourself." Qin Jian paused and said a rather philosophical sentence: "Being born as a human being is a free and equal ......"
"I know, Brother Qin, but ...... This is a tradition of our tribe since ancient times. Lan Xiang also began to answer him seriously: "The average life expectancy of our tribe is less than thirty-five years old, and if we don't increase the population as soon as possible, our tribe will perish sooner or later." ”
Hearing this, Qin Jian nodded very similarly, still incomprehensible and said, "Then you can't just catch an outsider and get married, I am also a family person." ”
I don't know if Lan Xiang heard it
Knowing his last sentence, she immediately replied: "My grandfather said that marrying an outsider may improve the fundamental problem of low life expectancy of the clan. ”
Qin Jian was not a biologist either, so he naturally couldn't listen to these topics, and said, "I'm already married, Lan Xiang." ”
"You're married?" Lan Xiang said dumbfounded.
Qin Jian was also a little guilty for not telling them about this (qíng), otherwise they would not have been able to make this kind of dog (pì) decision without authorization, one yard is one yard, and the most practical way to refuse is that I am married, and it is impossible to marry someone else again.
"Yes, so I can't marry you anymore."
"Woo woo, but how do I explain to my grandfather?" Lan Xiang cried aggrievedly, and Qin Jian let her continue to snuggle in her arms, patting her on the back to give her silent comfort.
"I'll explain it to your grandfather myself tomorrow, you don't have to worry." After Qin Jian finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little scared, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that if the task they gave you is not completed, you will not be beaten by them, right?" ”
Lan Xiang shook her head at first, but said something unexpected.
"They're going to kick me out of the clan."
"What?" Qin Jian was taken aback, this consequence is inevitably too serious, right? And besides, don't her parents and Wuren have any human (qíng) flavor at all? Lan Xiang is also their child! What is the difference between throwing it away and destroying relatives in righteousness?
"Because...... I'm eighteen years old...... ...... not married yet" Lan Xiang choked up and explained, Qin Jian was a little angry, this is not a legitimate reason at all, so to put it this way, there are a large number of people in District C and D who are not married at the age of thirty or forty, wouldn't they all be kicked out?
"If you're kicked out, I want you." Qin Jian suddenly didn't hesitate much and said.
Lan Xiang was stunned for a moment, stopped crying instantly, and looked at him with big eyes: "Brother Qin? Are you going to take me in? ”
"Yes, I will take you back to Anding District to live and show you the world." Qin Jian smiled softly.
Lan Xiang wiped her tears and smiled a little happily: "Thank you, Brother Qin, but...... I can't bear my mom and dad. ”
"They don't want you anymore, why are you so reluctant to do it?" Qin Jian said solemnly, he has no parents since he was a child, so there is no accurate measurement of his mother (ài) father (ài), and even, he feels that the pro (qíng) is the same level as the existence (qíng), and it doesn't matter if it is lost or broken, just live your own life anyway.
Sure enough, Lan Xiang, who heard Qin Jian's words, shook her head violently as if she had lost her soul: "Then I can't bear them, they are my parents after all." ”
"Okay, then if you are ...... in the future" Qin Jian (yù) stopped and changed his words: "I have snacks here, do you want to eat them?" ”
"Snacks?" Lan Xiang frowned: "What is it?" ”
"It's delicious." After Qin Jian finished speaking, he took out all kinds of food from the basket, biscuits, ham sausages, and candy......
Something I've never seen before, Lan Xiang's eyes widened, very curious.
Soon she stared at a packet of compressed biscuits, took a bite of it, and chewed on the outer package.
"You can't eat this!" Qin Jian immediately reminded her, asked her to open her mouth, and took out the inner and outer packaging.
"Delicious! It's delicious! Lan Xiang couldn't help but smile brightly.
Hearing her comment, Qin Jian couldn't laugh or cry, compressed biscuits made of such hard-to-swallow grains were actually praised by her as a delicacy in the world? But after all, he lives an isolated life, no different from half a "wild man", and has a narrow recipe, and it is normal to think that this kind of thing is delicious.
Then, Qin Jian stuffed a candy into her mouth.
"It's so sweet! But this isn't Apple? Lan Xiang's eyes lit up at first, but she was full of doubts, so she actually spit out the candy and put it in her hand, and after looking at it for a long time, she threw it into her mouth.
"It's called candy, it's apple-flavored......," Qin Jian explained.
"So...... Is this made from Apple? Lan Xiang asked with surprise.
"Sort of, I don't know what kind of syrup or anything like that." Qin Jian stumbled to give her popular science.
In the first half of the night, the two of them spent the past with snacks and chatting, and in the second half of the night, Lan Xiang gradually became sleepy, and before she could wipe the dregs on the corners of her mouth, she fell asleep in Qin Jian's arms.
Qin Jian originally planned to let her go back, but when chatting, she learned that her parents wouldn't let her go back to the room tonight, so he compromised.
The next morning, as soon as Qin Jian woke up, he found that the orchid incense on the side of (shēn) was gone, but he didn't take it seriously and went down to the ground to prepare to go out.
As soon as the curtain was opened, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came!
Qin Jian was startled, and suddenly the whole person was in good spirits, only to see a group of people gathered at the door at some point, singing and dancing all over the world to celebrate, and a few people came to him, hung a white scarf around his neck, and took his hand, announcing that he was congratulated on becoming a member of the clan, and then chattered and said strange language, dancing with their hands, like blessings.
In the crowd, Lan Xiang and her parents could be vaguely seen, as well as Jiang Shuya and a few of them.
"Alas!" Qin Jian sighed, Jiang Shuya and the others undoubtedly didn't show a smile on their faces, obviously they all knew about it, and it suddenly made him a little faceless.
"Honored guest!" Uren emerged from the crowd with a kind smile and put his hands on his shoulders: "Welcome to the Jova clan, from now on, you will be the prince of our clan!" ”
"What prince? Tease me? Qin Jian smiled bitterly and didn't say this.
"Wuren, actually, I (tǐng) like you, but ...... You can't reverse black and white, can you? The next moment, Qin Jian got straight to the point.
Wuren was stunned for a moment: "Huh? ”
"When did I promise to marry Lan Xiang?" Qin Jian said without a face (qíng), and the people around him immediately stopped playing when they saw this, their smiles froze, and they were extremely embarrassed for a moment, looking at each other.
