Xianqingshan's Zhaba earthen village is the longest existing matrilineal clan in the northern border, and the clansmen have always been linked by matrilineal blood relations. There are two forms of marriage: group marriage and walking marriage.

A group marriage is usually a group marriage in which a group of men in a clan and a group of women in another clan form a couple, after which the group of people live together, and the male and female members of the group marriage are free to form and live without being limited to any one man, and vice versa.

This marriage system is the oldest marriage system of the human race, and it is also the first time in that ignorant era that the human race has restricted the relationship between the sexes.

Perhaps it was from that time that humans discovered that they were different from ordinary beasts, and then slowly multiplied and transformed, becoming the overlord of the Xihe Continent step by step.

After talking about group marriage, walking marriage, compared with the more chaotic form of marriage such as group marriage, walking marriage is more mature.

Because of the different division of labor, the men and women of the clan were rarely able to get along alone during the day, and only at the gathering after nightfall, they expressed their hearts to the desired person by singing and dancing, and in the open matriarchal society, this courtship was expressed not only by young men to women, but also by young women to men of heart.

For example, if a boy falls in love with a girl, he will snatch the girl's headscarf or ring bracelet while singing and dancing, and if the girl is not satisfied with the boy, she will fight hard to prevent the other party from snatching her headscarf ring. If you also fall in love with a boy, you will pretend to be shy and run away, and in the dead of night, open the window of your attic, light a lamp, and wait for your lover to come and have a tryst with you.

This kind of tryst, known as climbing the house, is usually visited by men on horseback solemnly, but not from the front, but by climbing the stairs, through the window into the lover's boudoir, and then will hang a hat or belt and other items representing status outside the window to indicate that the two are having a tryst, so that others do not disturb.

Normally, men who come to climb the house in the middle of the night must quietly leave before the sun rises before the girlfriend's family wakes up, or they will be laughed at.

The children born of the tryst between men and women also belong to the mother's clan, and the lineage and property inheritance are from the matrilineal system, and even in some powerful families, the husband will move to the wife's clan to live with the wife.

This form of marriage is also very free, for example, young people in Zhaba Tuzhai will start looking for a lover at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and when they find a lover, they will start to climb the house. If the relationship cannot be maintained due to emotional discord or other reasons, the termination will be announced on the grounds that the man no longer climbs the house or the woman refuses to open the window.

It can be said that this kind of marriage is completely based on the feelings of both parties, without the slightest political background and the stakes of money and property, and there is no cunning calculation of deceit.

There is no "third party", and there is no rule of "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", and there is no saying that marrying a chicken or a dog is a dog. The men and women in the village live in their own homes, and the union is not for the purpose of making a living; Divorce does not endanger anyone's survival, and no matter how rich the economy is, no matter how high the status is, it will not build a solid and reliable foundation for mutual union.

Romantic feelings are what they are pursuing, everything here makes Xu Laoying feel fresh, he was expected to leave the north He saw the grand bonfire party in the earthen village, and resolutely stayed.

He took off his gorgeous brocade clothes, dressed up like the young people in the village, sang and danced at the party every night in the half-baked local dialect, kicked his belly with a turban ring, and began to climb the house.

Within a few days, the people in the village knew that there was a graceful young descendant in the village, handsome and strong, and the girls in the village were fascinated.

......

Ghost King Ridge, Council Hall

As long as you want to check, there is nothing that Ji can't find in Beibei, which naturally includes the traces of Xu Laoying, although this Xu didn't want to hide it, but looking at the secret note handed by the wind media, it still made Ji Fu's head full of black lines.

Sunrise, sunset and rest, every day singing and dancing hooked up with a few native girls to climb the building, dressed and the native is no different, if it is not for the unforgettable peach blossom eyes, Ji's style media is almost sure that this man who perfectly integrates into the village is one of the legendary four little saint kings.

Inviting Tang Luo to the council hall, Ji Fu pointed to the secret slip on the table, and said helplessly: "We have to go to Xianqing Mountain." ”

When the two of them came to the Xianqing Mountain Tuzhai, they looked at the handsome man who neatly flipped a big black wild boar thorn to the ground, and then enjoyed the natives' praise and laughter, they all wanted to cover their faces with their palms.

However, Xu Laoying's six senses were amazing, and almost when Tang Luo and Ji Fu paid attention to him, they found snooping.

Turning his head to look, he found that Tang Luo and Ji Fu made the holy son of the Xu family, who was perfectly integrated into the local people, laugh heartily, and after saying a few words to the supporters around him in fluent local dialect, he ran towards the two of them with a smoke.

"Big brother, cousin, why are you here?"

Xu Laoying, who was closer, gave the two of them a big smile, and kept twisting his body to introduce the robe he was wearing to Tang Luo and Ji Fu: "Look, how is my robe!?"

Tang Luo looked up and down the blue, red, and white large-collared unbuttoned robe on Xu Laoying's body, and praised it sincerely: "The robe is very beautiful!"

"Brother, you really have vision!" Xu Lao won a lot of fun, patted Tang Luo's shoulder with one hand, pointed to his clothes with the other and said: "This dress was knitted for me by the girl in the village, and this belt!"

Xu Laoying, who finished praising the robe, pointed to the belt made of some kind of animal skin around his waist, and praised the two: "I spent a lot of effort to kill a desolate demon beast to obtain the fur, how is it, handsome or not?"

"Handsome, handsome. Tang Luo said a few perfunctory words without a soul, and then said to Xu Lao Ying: "This is not the place to talk, I came to you for something important, so I will talk to you in another place." ”

"That's it..."Xu Laoying hesitated for a while, as if he had made some great determination, gritted his teeth and took out a few rings from his waist, and said to the two: "You two wait for me for a while, I'll go say hello!"

With that, he ran back to the group of natives who were dealing with the big black boar, and after reluctantly handing over a few rings to a few young natives, he returned to the two of them dejectedly.

Looking at Xu Laoying's appearance of turning back three times in one step, Tang Luo covered his face and said helplessly: "Look at your unproductive appearance, it's not that you won't come back, as for it!?"
