The warm sun sprinkled the earth, everything woke up a little lazily, and a touch of green gradually looked up at the sky, hoping that the drizzle would blend with her. Soft clouds blow over the mountains, float across the meadows, reflect the river, and shine on the sunset.

The fiery red sunset is intoxicating, making people linger, a pair of men and women sitting side by side on the top of the mountain facing the sunset, the man is very strong, a strong arm is lightly wrapped around the woman's waist, and the palm of the hand caresses the woman's high and bulging lower abdomen. The woman held her lower abdomen with her hands and rested her head on the man's shoulders, and sighed slowly at the sinking sunset.

"Don't think about it anymore. There was a touch of magnetism in the deep voice, a hint of gentleness.

"How can you not want to? In a few days he should run out, but you don't even have a name, hmph, I don't care, anyway, what is the name of my child, don't let the old guys of the clan point fingers, if you don't have an idea, I will go into the mountains and ask the gods for a name." The woman was very aggrieved and talked about her demands, and the name of the child would not be decided by others no matter what.

Names, for many people in modern times, have become code names, and almost no one still clearly remembers what the meaning of the name is. In the continuation and inheritance of the family, the first element is the name, which contains the most basic family information. For example, in a powerful family, the names of the same generation often occupy the same character, and different characters represent different generations.

In ancient times, when a family grew to a certain size, it would be voluntarily or involuntarily integrated into a larger family through marriage or plunder, and these big families slowly branched, and the branches grew and merged to form a clan, that is, a tribe.

And the tribes all have independent surnames, which can be called clan names. But this surname is not based on the surname of the largest family, it is agreed upon by several families. This surname is only deserved by clansmen who have reached a certain level of status, and although their children also have the right to have this surname, they can only be elected by the decision of the family elders. Therefore, the larger the family, the greater the proportion of the surname, and only those who have this surname can get more resources and higher status.

Of course, what we are talking about here is only the right to be recommended for inheritance, and the real decision on whether it is worthy of this clan name depends on whether the clan supports it. If they are criticized for not contributing to the tribe in the future, they will also be expelled. In short, whether you can get the support of the clan in the future is a later story, if you can get the clan name at this stage, at least you will suffer a lot less when you are young, and high-quality living resources are a major event that determines the chances of survival of children.

This is what the woman is worried about, if the child's name is ranked in the family name and surname, and he does not obtain the family name, then his status is greatly reduced, not to mention, even if he is the child of the patriarch, the living resources he gets will not be much more than the children of ordinary clansmen.

The name given by the god in the woman's mouth just now is a relatively old ritual, or a kind of encouragement for the members of the clan. If you want to get more resources in your clan, you need to make a huge contribution to the clan, and that contribution should be at least big enough to get the clan out of crisis or solve some of the most difficult production problems within the clan. Of course, there are not many things that make the clan have a crisis, so if such a big crisis can really be solved, then whoever he is, even if he is an outsider, will be recognized by the clan and be eligible to have a clan name. Something like this that is impossible is called a name from the gods.

But things always go unexpected, and it started a long time ago.

The mountains on the north side of the tribe are distributed, and there are many animals, which is an important source of meat for the tribe. But now even the noble elders of the tribe rarely eat meat, for the simple reason that there are bears in the mountains, and the bears can instantly drown the bears of the entire tribe.

Originally, it was a good thing that there were bears in the mountains, and it was a good thing for any tribe. Bears can be said to be full of treasures, and although the hunting is very difficult, the benefits are even greater. At the beginning, large-scale hunting was organized in the tribe, but I don't know when it began, the number of bears increased, and it was no longer a single haunt, but appeared in groups of three or five, and there were even a few raids on the settlement. The patriarch at that time didn't care, after all, it was still common to be retaliated against by animals, and after organizing several bear hunts, the bears in the mountains disappeared.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, the people who went into the mountains to hunt were prominent and never returned, at first they were still missing alone, and then whether they were single or ten or twenty people, in short, the people who walked into the mountains were like evaporation, and they never appeared again.

It was only then that these bigwigs in the clan began to realize the seriousness of the matter. Finally, at an intra-clan meeting, it was decided that the patriarch would lead a team of 500 able-bodied men, all of whom were professional hunters who were proficient in hunting.

Who knew that only about 30 people came back from the mountains in the end, and the patriarch stayed in the mountains forever. Through the descriptions of these 30 or so people, everyone knows that the mountains have become a country of bears, with herds of bears, and even a clear division of labor, and even the caves where they live have become places for digging and plowing earth.

Hearing this, everyone was confused, is this a bear? Isn't this a legendary spirit? And there are so many of them.

Things always go beyond people's expectations.

When the fear of being destroyed at any time sweeps through the whole clan, the will of all people will become highly unified, and accidents often occur at this time.

So when the whole clan agreed that it was time to migrate, an accident came, and several large clans in the vicinity actually rushed to the tribe. Seeing the overwhelming crowd constantly pouring into the settlement, the old guys in the clan shook, even if they were close comrades-in-arms who snuggled up to each other, they couldn't come to the house like this. So I sent someone to inquire and found out that they had all suffered from bear plagues, and their living places were destroyed, so they had to move their clans.

By this time, everyone knew something, and they didn't have to go anywhere. Although this land is rich in products, there are turbulent waves in the south and high mountains in the east. The hills and forests to the west seem safe, but they are even more dangerous, because their worst enemies, the Jiuli people, live behind the hills. Now it can really be said that it is surrounded on all sides, trapped in it, and has nowhere to go and has to sit and wait for death.

In desperation, the people of all tribes can only huddle together to keep warm and continue to survive together in this rich land full of dangers.

Over the course of several generations, several tribes merged into a larger and more powerful tribe, but the bear plague persisted. In the battle with the Jiuli tribe, a situation of equal strength and confrontation gradually formed. And the Jiuli tribe also jokingly called them because of the other party's bear trouble.

Although the clan name of the bear was insulted and demanded by the Jiuli tribe, it is also a fact, and over time, this tribe has really accepted the gift of the enemy clan.

Going back to the bear problem, people will not always sit and wait for death in a crisis, people never lack the spirit of exploration, and people's experience will always come from the accumulation of death. Slowly, after paying enough time and excellent hunters, the bear clan summed up some experience.

Although the bears in the mountains are still in trouble, they will not easily go out of the mountains. As long as no one enters the mountain, the bear will not come out of the mountain, no one will go into the mountain to hunt bears, and the bear will not go out of the mountain to attack people, and the two sides always seem to be moving side by side in an equal relationship. But when they go into the mountains and forests to log, hunt, and pick fruits, they will be attacked, and at this point everyone or the bear has finally reached a consensus - people do not offend bears, and bears do not offend people!

But there are exceptions, every year on the third day of March, it is a day when you can enter the mountain at will. For some reason, all the bears in the mountain will live quietly in the crypt, and even if the occasional bear is hunted, there will be no retaliation. Therefore, on the third day of March every year, all the clansmen of the bear clan, as long as they have the ability to work and can walk normally, will enter the mountain on this day. If nothing else, just because on this day you can go into the mountains to hunt, gather, and log. Of course, there is no one to cut down trees now, after all, there are still many trees in the western forest that can be cut down slowly. It is not the fruit that is picked, but some edible spices, such as Sichuan peppercorns. But the main thing is that the meat throughout the year depends on this day, and the lucky ones will hunt bears, and the unlucky ones will have no meat to cook all year round.

It can be said that it is an extremely luxurious thing for a man and a woman to sit next to each other like today, not doing anything, just indulging in the breeze and sunset. If it weren't for the fact that a man loves a woman very much, he wouldn't do such a luxurious thing, even if he is a young patriarch.

The man's name is Huoshu, and the clan name is Xiong, because in the society at that time, men's surnames were mostly called names, and women's surnames were called surnames, so men were called Youxiong's Huoshu, and Huoshu's beautiful wife was called Fengxi.
