Early the next morning, Xie Chuyao and Qingying came together to clean up the house before coming out, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw Shang Jingcheng and Qing Cang, who had just gotten up.
Xie Chuyao stepped forward and grabbed Shang Jingcheng's hand and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”
Shang Jingcheng said "um", he took her hand and said, "There is a person who didn't sleep well last night, you don't need me to say that you know who it is." ”
Xie Chuyao glanced at Qing Cang, seeing that he looked like he was seriously sleep-deprived, he couldn't help but snicker and said, "Qingying, did you sleep soundly last night?" ”
Qingying glanced at Qing Cang's unproductive appearance, and couldn't help but respond with a loud voice: "I slept soundly!" After saying that, he didn't look at him, and went out directly, what was this guy thinking all day long.
Seeing that she ignored herself, Qing Cang couldn't help but chase after her with a heavy face, this little woman appeared in his dream last night, and now she ignores him, which makes him feel aggrieved in his heart.
Shang Jingcheng sighed lightly and pulled Xie Chuyao out as well, this Qingcang is a stunned young man.
He didn't want to think that he wasn't the same, and now he was making fun of others.
When the four of them had come out of the house, they saw that the great ox was already waiting outside, and when he saw them come out, he hastened to come up and said, "Come with me to the meal, for you must be hungry this morning." ”
Xie Chuyao looked at him and thought that now he was completely receiving them as a communication person, but he was the only one who could talk to them here.
Shang Jingcheng glanced down at Xie Chuyao and pulled him to leave behind Da Niu.
They came to the patriarch's house last night, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw the patriarch fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks, and when they heard the footsteps, they looked up and saw them, so they smiled and nodded to them.
"Patriarch morning!" Xie Chuyao stood there and said hello to him.
The patriarch just gestured for them to sit down, and when they were all seated, he arched his hand to her and said, "Doctor, thank you very much for yesterday's incident, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know, it turns out that Wu Cheng is such a vicious and selfish person, thank you." ”
Xie Chuyao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The patriarch is serious, I haven't helped much in this matter, in order to prevent you from getting sick from being bitten by these mosquitoes in the future, I will develop some mosquito repellent water here before leaving, this disease is very fatal to children, so you must pay attention to it." ”
When the patriarch heard that she would help them develop the potion, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he said a little heavily: "The child is insulated from us, we have not had children here for many years, do you see it, the whole tribe only has the children of the Da Niu family, and we are cursed by the ghosts and gods here." ”
His voice sounded very bad, he was now in his twilight years, and he could only watch this tribe gradually grow old, and even perish, without offspring, there would be no inheritance, and the most terrible thing about a tribe was that there were no descendants to inherit.
In fact, after hearing Da Niu say that the children born in their tribe are not sound or even live for a short time, she has some conjectures in her heart, this tribe is out of touch with the outside world, just nested in this deep mountain for a lifetime of peace, then after several generations of reproduction, the people in the tribe can almost be said to have some blood relations, so within three generations of close relatives, there is a high probability that the children born will have problems, this is almost certain.
"Patriarch, actually, have you ever thought about going out?" Xie Chuyao said what was in her heart.
The patriarch looked at her with some surprise, and when he saw the affirmation in her eyes, he fell silent, and he lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Why do you think we people are willing to hide in this deep mountain rather than go out?" Our ancestors have lived here for generations, what kind of world is outside has nothing to do with us, so many years, we are also used to life here, how easy is it to go out? ”
Xie Chuyao understands his mentality, if a person has been out of society for too long, it is extremely difficult to integrate into it, it will take a long process, besides, there are hundreds of people in this tribe, everyone has different opinions, maybe some people are willing to stay in this place for the rest of their lives and don't want to leave? It's just that this will really lead to destruction.
"Because you have been close relatives in your clan for generations, almost all of you in your clan are related by blood, which is why the children of the big cow are healthy, while the children of others are born unsound." Xie Chuyao looked at him seriously and said, this blood issue is really important, and close relatives must get married.
The more the patriarch listened, the more frightened he became, and he asked with some doubts: "Is it that if we don't go out, we won't be able to conceive healthy children?" ”
Xie Chuyao nodded and said, "Patriarch, I'm not scaring you, you'd better have some contact with people from the outside world, otherwise your tribe won't last forever." ”
The patriarch's brows froze, and he said distressed for a long time: "Doctor, in fact, I have always had this thought, but the people in this clan are used to living here, how can they go out?" ”
"Then do you want to carve out a way for the clan to open up to the outside world? In this way, people from outside will be able to come in, and you won't have to do any more sacrificial activities in the future, just have more contact with people outside. Shang Jingcheng looked at the patriarch and said.
When Xie Chuyao heard this, he nodded again and again and said, "Patriarch, you can discuss it with the elders, this is the first condition to solve your current child's problem." "She can't do anything about this blood thing, do you want her to give her a genetic modification? She couldn't do it even if she wanted to, after all, it was high-tech.
The patriarch was silent, and then Da Niu looked at the patriarch and said, "Patriarch, I also think what they said is reasonable, our tribe has experienced enough over the years, if it continues like this, we can only face the plight of the dead clan." ”
"You don't need to be involved in this matter, you can eat your food well, I will discuss it with the elders again, but I can expect the result." If it had been so easy, they would have been in touch with the outside world a long time ago.
Xie Chuyao saw that the patriarch was talking to Da Niu, but seeing that his face was not very good, it was inconvenient for her to talk more, she smiled at Shang Jingcheng, and then casually filled him with some white porridge and handed it to him, and she herself took a steamed bun and ate it.
"Chu Yao, I think you are so profound, is it really that important to be related by blood?" Qingying felt so unfathomable when she heard it, she had never known that there was a blood relationship before, and she didn't know where she learned it.
