Jin Mang thought that even if there were other chestnut trees on this mountain, the number was estimated to be not too many, and it would be good to have a dozen of them.

I didn't think that so many of them would have stayed here for two days before they finished digging up the chestnuts in half of the mountain.

It was only at this moment that they discovered that the trees on the mountain were ...... It seems like it's all chestnut trees?

Looking at the chestnuts that were almost full of grain carts, everyone looked at each other and hesitated.

Saying...... Shouldn't they have dug up the chestnuts on the other side of the hill as well?

"But the grain cart can't hold so many ......," said one of Jin Mang's uncles.

"What's this?" Qingfeng didn't think about it, so he said: "If you can't fit it, you can carry it on your back, it's better than being hungry." ”

Everyone thought about it.

"I don't know if the cannibal tribe is gone." It was Lan Ying who muttered this, she was Qingyan's eldest daughter and Qingkui's mother.

"Regardless of whether they leave or not, we are still afraid that they will not succeed?" Qingkui's father, Chiyun, pouted and said.

Lan Ying is 28 years old this year, but she only gave birth to a Qingkui who is the same age as Jin Mang. Because Chiyun is 6 years younger than her, she won't have children until he grows up and can help Lan Ying raise a child.

In the matter of procreation, the human beings of Anze ...... Or that all creatures are very strange, because of the existence of the split season, they are used to giving birth after the split season, so that the age difference between siblings is a multiple of 3.

Therefore, Jin Mang feels that a family composed of brothers and sisters like An Ze is really troublesome, not only is it impossible for everyone to have the same number of sons and daughters, but the age difference is also a very headache. Lan Ying and Chiyun are already six years apart, don't talk about others, just Lan Duo Lanyu and their brother.

The sisters are 6 years old, while their eldest brother Bluegrass is 18 years old. Modern people pay attention to the best age for childbirth, but even so, advanced maternal age can still be seen everywhere, and Anze is even less particular.

Grandma was almost fifty when she gave birth to her last child, and her aunt's youngest child was born when she was 31 years old, but that was because her two children died young, and later hurt her body, so she did not have another child. And the second aunt is now 39 years old, and she will continue to give birth when she hears Qingsui's meaning.

In other words, if Lan Duo Lanyu and Blue Grass form a family, then they will have to stop giving birth at least around the age of 38, because Blue Grass will be 50 years old at that time, and his strength will begin to decline. It is even more prudent to count the period of time when the child is growing up, and they should stop having children before the age of 30.

Because of this, Qingsui privately guessed that Lan Duo and Lan Yu might not choose to form a family with Blue Grass in the future. After all, although Blue Grass's strength is good, it is not particularly strong, at least it is not enough to become the main combat power of the clan, and his younger brothers look no worse than him.

When the Ying tribe moved to the other side of the mountain, they found that the cannibal tribe had left, and there was still a fire at the foot of the mountain that had been extinguished, and some bones that made people look like their hairs stood on end.

Lan He stepped forward and fiddled with it, and calculated: "They should have arrested four orphans, two of whom are eight or nine years old, and two of them are three or four years old. The meat was all eaten in one meal, and there was nothing left. ”

Jin Mang thought back to the picture he saw at the beginning, frowned, and said, "There are quite a few people in that tribe, and there should be no less than 15." ”

"15 people?" Lan He sneered.

Jin Mang blinked, is there anything wrong?

Qingyan asked her, "Are there many children?" ”

Child?

Jin Mang thought for a while and said with some hesitation: "It seems that there are no children?" ”

Lan He's face suddenly turned ugly.

Qingyan sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's not a normal tribe, but a temporary tribe of bachelors. ”

Jin Mang was confused.

It was still Qingsui who explained to Jin Mang in private: "Generally speaking, when the number of clans reaches a certain size, or the direct elders above have passed away, they will often face the situation of branching. We have the Ying tribe, which is also a branch that branched off after the death of me and your father's grandfather and grandmother. ”

After a pause, "Generally speaking, the tribe is composed like we have now, and everyone is the descendant of your grandmother and grandfather. In the future, if your grandmother dies, then our Ying tribe will also be divided. If nothing else, it will split into three tribes, led by your eldest aunt and second uncle, second aunt and third uncle, and me and your father. ”

Jin Mang somewhat understood, "You mean, the eldest uncle, they will become people without tribes?" ”

"It's not all like that." Qingsui said: "As long as we are willing, we can make your eldest uncle and them a member of the clan at that time." However, not everyone will be willing, like your eldest uncle's age, his strength will begin to decline in five years. Although the members of the different families of the tribe only meet during the split season, and the food of the various families is not shared, for those who have no children like your eldest uncle, the family members will inevitably have to help share one or two, and we brothers and sisters are okay, and then the next generation and beyond, more people are reluctant. ”

"The cannibal tribe you see is probably weak, and it was finally abandoned after the tribe split."

Jin Mang was suddenly stunned.

She knew that Aoho's words were reserved, and listening to her tone, it seemed that in the future, their brothers and sisters would definitely be willing to accept other born brothers, but this was not necessarily the case.

Jin Mang could even hear the inconspicuous plea in the other person's words—she hoped that she would be willing to agree to take in those single uncles in the future.

She thought, I'm afraid that the bachelors who can be taken in by their brothers and sisters are only a minority, and most of them will be abandoned, and even if a few people are taken in at that time, when the brothers and sisters are old and the next generation begins to become the main combat force of the clan, they will not be able to escape the fate of being abandoned.

How pitiful, how pathetic.

At this moment, Jin Mang sincerely sympathized with those single uncles.

These days, those fasting uncles have not been able to stuff them with hard-won food, but in the future, when they are old and have no fighting ability, these nephews and nieces and even grandnephews will not be willing to support them.

This is even a very normal thing, after all, like Jin Mang, the people who raised them are mainly parents, how can they hope that they treat other elders as parents?

Even those elders have helped take care of them, but ...... In modern society, how many people will provide for their neighbors, relatives and elders who have helped them?

It's not even that the younger generation is indifferent, people in modern society mainly rely on economic ability to survive, and the gap between people in this regard will be very large, and some people earn money in a month that others can't earn in a lifetime, so they can be kind.

But not in Anze, they rely on hunting ability to survive, even if a small number of people have outstanding strength, but they have to raise children, they have to support their parents, and one more elderly person may crush them.
