Chapter 3 Fertility
"Ah Ying...", a girl with white hair, greeted her timidly.
Bai Yingying nodded lightly, "Ah Xue." ”
This is her only female friend, Snow White.
is also her cousin, and the two had a close relationship when they were children because of the same coat color.
It's just that later, after her eldest brother died, the elders of the family did not allow Bai Xue and Bai Yingying to come and go, and they gradually separated.
Bai Xue wanted to speak and stopped, but finally lowered her head.
Bai Yingying looked away indifferently and quietly looked at the other females.
Females with earthy yellow and black coats are taller and have more plump bodies.
They are two of the most popular coat colors.
In fact, white is more subtle in winter when it is covered with snow and ice.
But the living habits of the orcs are to store a lot of food in the autumn, and in the winter, they all nest in the tribe and work hard to make babies.
Since you don't go out to hunt, you can't appreciate the benefits of white hair.
Gradually, as the number of people in the square grew, the females finally arrived.
After three horns, the whole square fell silent.
"The ceremony has officially begun!" A strong male voice rang out.
The females in the waiting area were guided by a middle-aged woman to the altar in the square.
The square is in the center of the tribe, and a large platform is built with stones in the middle. They were now lined up, ascending the stairs on both sides of the altar in an orderly manner.
Under the high platform, there are dense orcs on three sides.
Bai Yingying saw so many people in the audience, and all her eyes were focused on the high platform, her eyes were fanatical.
Her hairs stood on end in an instant, and she felt very uncomfortable, and some bad memories were impacting her.
At this moment, an old woman holding a wooden scepter slowly walked up to the high platform with the support of a young girl.
All the clansmen's robes were made of wild animal skins, but she was covered with a long skirt cut of coarse cloth.
The old woman's boring black hair was covered with feathers of various colors, and the bright red mole on her forehead was still conspicuous on her face full of furrows.
This is the shrine maiden of the tribe, and her status is almost equal to that of the patriarch.
In addition to the fertility of the females tested by her, she also knows how to heal and is also in charge of sacrifices.
As the patriarch announced the beginning of the ceremony, the shrine maiden walked up to the first female in the front row, scrutinized the other, and finally touched the female's waist and buttocks with her hands.
She quickly concluded, "Medium." ”
The girl standing next to the witch hurriedly repeated it loudly: "Hua Qiqi, medium! ”
Females have four levels of fertility, from low to high: inferior, medium, upper, and excellent.
After seeing it a few times, Bai Yingying understood that this so-called fertility is probably judged by body shape, health and pelvic bone size.
She is at a disadvantage in all of these, no wonder she is disliked by other orcs.
In her contemplation, the shrine maiden soon walked up to her.
She could clearly see the pity in the shrine maiden's eyes.
Bai Yingying knew that her body was very weak, and when she turned into a human form, she was only 1.6 meters tall and weighed no more than 70 pounds, which can be described as skinny...
But it's also because of hunger.
She is not very short in height, and with the blessing of the birth system, even if she can't be rated as excellent, she can be superior, right?
Bai Yingying felt a little confident.
The old witch had pity on her face, but her subordinates showed no mercy, and after pinching her waist and buttocks, she directly announced: "Inferior." ”
The girl beside the witch couldn't bear it, and her voice was a little quieter: "Bai Yingying... Inferior. ”
Bai Yingying's judgment was wrong, and she was already a little annoyed. But after seeing their expressions, I was even more shocked.
Finally remembered the rules of the tribe.
Females are found to be highly fertile, and after the ceremony, countless males propose on the spot.
Females can choose a number of talented beast husbands to form a family.
In the future, if you have the beast husbands to take care of you, you can have no worries about food and clothing.
However, if fertility is low and there are no relatives or males willing to accept them, they must move to the female cave.
Females who are old and unsupported will also be sent to the female burrow.
All in all.
The female cave is the residence of those females who have been eliminated.
But it's not a good place to go.
Male desires are demanding, and single males will become manic if they can't relieve them for a long time.
These less useful females, come into play.
As long as a single male pays a certain amount of food, he can...
A pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, a little red lips and ten thousand tastes.
The strong physique of those orcs is not at all what these old or frail females can bear.
Therefore, the females who enter the female cave, even if they have no worries about food and clothing, only have an average lifespan of 5-10 years.
Bai Yingying tugged at the corners of her mouth, feeling very outrageous. Of course, she didn't want to fall into this situation.
It was only a moment when the memory was received, and there was already a small chatter below.
"Bai Yingying's body, can she live for a year if she goes to the female cave?"
"Whatever, I'm not interested in this shriveled figure at all."
The old witch immediately stomped the wooden scepter in her hand and said majestically, "Quiet!! ”
The orcs below, who were about to say something foul, fell silent.
In the tribe, shrine maidens are the most unoffending beings.
They are hunting outside, and they are easily injured, and if they offend the shrine maiden, the consequences will naturally not be imagined...
Bai Yingying glanced at the witch without a trace, pondering the feasibility of becoming a witch.
But after searching for memories, I couldn't help but be frustrated.
The position of a shrine maiden has always been an ancestor.
Legend has it that they have different bloodlines, and each generation of successors has been taught since they were babbling, and they will not accept outsiders at all...
However, you can try to be a medicine girl under the witch, and the status is not low.
But first, she can't go to the female cave.
Bai Yingying was originally standing relatively backward, and it didn't take long, and the fertility of all females was identified.
Next, there is the most critical part of the coming-of-age ceremony.
Choosing a husband.
The first orc, in particular, will be the first male of the female, and must also be the strongest male orc in the family.
The woman who had just brought them to the stage waved at them and motioned for them to step down from the altar.
According to the rules, all the girls who are waiting to be chosen are lined up.
At this time, the patriarch on the altar spoke again.
"According to the old rules, single males between the ages of 18 and 25 can choose the female they like and wait for the female to choose."
The average age of orcs is only 45 years old.
The age group of 18-25 is the young adult of the clan.
"The chosen beast husband is responsible for the safety of the females and cubs, and is responsible for the rations of the females and cubs. Don't be lazy or slack off, or you will be permanently deprived of your status as a beast husband! ”
"Next, please go behind the females you like."
As soon as the patriarch's voice fell, the males, who had been holding back their tempers, let out a deafening cheer.
"Oh oh oh~"
"Oh oh oh~"
"Choose Huang Yu'er! Choose Huang Yuer! Fertility is superior! I want to be the first beast husband, who dares to compete with me, let's have a competition first! ”
"I want to choose the best Qin Qing, is it? Ha ha! ”
"Think beautifully! According to the usual practice, Qin Qing will definitely send it out for marriage! You see the patriarch called her away. ”
"Then I'll choose..."
There are many eligible males, and everyone is crowded around and stands behind the female they like.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
But soon, order was restored.
Behind the females stood a group of males, waiting for the females to be selected.
Only... There was only one person standing behind Bai Yingying.
