Chapter 31: The Youyuan Tribe
After digging chestnuts for a day, before falling asleep, Jin Mang remembered one thing.
"That cannibal tribe, it doesn't seem to have any women?" Her tone wasn't quite sure.
Qingsui was not surprised when he heard this, "The difficulty of a man being single is that he has no children to provide for them, while the difficulty of a woman being single is ...... It's about not being able to feed the children. Ordinary tribes will abandon bachelors, but not bachelors. Some clans even have other members surround the territory of single women, which serves as a certain protection. As long as a single woman raises a child, she will be considered old age, but ......"
She sighed and said, "Watching their children die or starve to death one by one, how many women can be indifferent?" So Mangman, before you become strong, if you see single women, don't sympathize with them. ”
"When I was a child, I met a single woman on the migration road, and her daughter was starving to death, and her tears were dry, so she sat on the side of the road with her daughter's body in her arms, and no one from the tribe comforted her," she said. I was stupid at that time, and I thought she was pitiful, and went up to comfort her, and it turned out to be ...... I almost strangled to death by her. ”
"If your father hadn't found out in time and called your grandfather, I would have really died."
"Why?" Jin Mang couldn't quite understand it.
"Because she was jealous that I could live and her daughter died." Qingsui sighed.
Jin Mang was a little speechless.
She has a very big heart, and the word sensitive is simply not compatible with her, and she has never tasted jealousy.
Jin Meili can study when she is a child, and she can easily take the first place in the exam, and both teachers and parents like to use her as a positive teaching material to inspire everyone. In this case, she, a "child of someone else's family", was not less ostracized and jealous by the children.
Zhong Xiuxiu's grades are average, but she can't stand her family's money, and she lacks heart and eyes and can't look at people's eyes, always showing off the expensive snacks and toys her father bought for her, everyone flatters her in the face, hoping to take advantage of her, but she doesn't know how jealous she is.
As a young man who grew up with these two people, Jin Mangshuang has never had jealous thoughts about them. Obviously, she has neither outstanding grades nor a wealthy family, and she is still an orphan who has no father or mother and is secretly looked down upon.
Kim Meimei once seemed to be true and fake, jokingly praising her for having a "heart of gold".
So at this moment, she really couldn't understand the single woman's thoughts.
But if she doesn't understand, she still remembers Qingsui's words.
When the Ying tribe left from Chestnut Mountain, not only were the grain trucks piled up, but everyone carried seventy or eighty pounds of chestnuts on their backs.
After a day's journey, and while resting in the evening, they met another migratory tribe.
It was a tribe with more people than them, and the two sides looked at each other, and tacitly chose a place to camp in a place where the water from the well would not interfere with the water of the river.
Jin Mang and Lan Duo Lan Yu leaned against each other to nibble on chestnuts, and the twin sisters couldn't help but look curiously at the tribe next to them.
"They have so many children."
"yes, and a lot of girls."
"It's great, if only you could be even with us."
……
Jin Mang didn't care about the childish words of the two young ladies, and there were indeed a lot of tribal girls they met, or rather...... It's too much.
She thinks it's a little strange, isn't it up to the man to give birth to a boy or a girl? In Anze's case, it is said that the gap between men and women will not be so big.
Jin Mang secretly counted that there were 9 children under the age of 12 in that tribe, and there was only one boy among them; There are 12 teenagers under the age of 18, but only two boys.
It's also too sad.
Looking at the adult members, there are also women in the majority and men in the minority. Probably because of this, the team over there is far less calm than them, and they look a little embarrassed and a little more haggard.
Until they went to sleep, they were all right, and the next morning, everyone left, because the destination was the same, so everyone was on the same road.
There are fewer and fewer prey, but fortunately there are chestnuts to eat, otherwise they would have starved.
The other tribe had a hard time, and Jin Mang had seen the children of their party chewing on bark and grass roots.
After that, the two tribes camped in close proximity several times, and the two tribes gradually began to intersect.
That tribe is called the Youyuan tribe, and it is said that there are many girls for generations.
"That Youyuan tribe has an alliance tribe, that's why it's like this." Qingfeng explained to Jin Mang: "Although there will be a gap in the number of men and women in ordinary tribes, the gap will not be so big, and it will not be the same for generations. Like we have a British tribe, it is said that your grandmother and their generation are more women than men. ”
"What are the Alliance tribes?" Jin Mang asked if he didn't understand.
Qing Feng thought for a moment and said, "To put it bluntly, they only mate and reproduce with one tribe. In this way, the two tribes have a deep connection, and when it comes to a critical moment, they can unite to meet the enemy. ”
Jin Mang suddenly, isn't this a marriage.
She thought that she was just listening to gossip and that the affairs of the Yuan tribe had nothing to do with them, but that night, they hadn't slept yet, but the patriarch of the Yuan tribe over there walked over here.
What is this for?
The Blue Cliff brothers glanced at each other, and they were all a little puzzled.
The patriarch of the Youyuan tribe is a tall man named Huang Ye, and just by looking at the tendons and flesh of his body and the momentum on his body, he knows that his strength is not much worse.
Huang Ye got straight to the point and said to Blue Cliff: "Have you any Ying tribe considered changing children?" ”
Changeling?
Jin Mang frowned, was that what she understood?
"I know that." Lan Duo Lan Yu's fourth brother Qingshu spoke: "It is a tribe with more boys and fewer girls and fewer girls and fewer boys to exchange children and raise. ”
Jin Mang glanced at him, "Aren't you afraid that the second aunt and third uncle will send you out?" ”
"No, I'm old." Qingshu was not fooled, "And a child like Heilong who has already remembered is not good, if the eldest uncle agrees, it must be replaced by a child born after the split season." When the time comes, the child will be changed when he is born, and there will be no difference from the biological one. ”
"Will the eldest uncle agree?" Lan Duo asked curiously.
"Probably not." It was her second brother Lu Kui who spoke.
"Why?" Lan Yu looked puzzled.
Lu Kui said with his chest in his heart: "The eldest uncle will not want his own bloodline to become an enemy in the future, and ...... For a tribe that is allied with people like the Youyuan tribe, the situation is more complicated, and the eldest uncle will not make a decision if he doesn't understand it clearly. ”
Sure enough, Blue Cliff refused without hesitation.
Undeterred, Wildland made a different proposal: "Then do you want to form an alliance with us?" ”
