Farming in the Primitive Tribe

"Can we not separate?" someone whispered. He really felt that it was good like this. Everyone worked together and ate together, and there was no worries. Everyone could live a good life, so why should we separate?

He looked at the others to seek their approval, but found that the others had evasive eyes and did not look at him.

Seeing this, the witch doctor also understood in his heart that they might have had their own little idea a long time ago, but they just didn't say it out loud. Even if there is no problem now, it will eventually explode as time goes by. If that day comes, I'm afraid there will be trouble. very ugly.

"In the past, we all ate together because we had to go hunting and picking together, and we needed to rely on the strength of everyone to survive. But that doesn't have to be the case now. We can all survive on our own, and we can live well, just like the branches of a tree. , separation is inevitable, even if it is not now, it will come to this point in the future." And this day is not too far away, even if she did not mention it, they will break out due to various conflicts, and it will be ugly by then , it’s better for her to offer it now, so that it looks good on her face.

"But will the Beast God blame us for doing this?" After all, no tribe has ever done this, and I have never heard of any tribe as bold as them.

"I have already asked the goddess, and she agrees." The witch doctor said calmly.

The others immediately fell silent, some looked at each other, and most of them were at a loss. This was the first time they had faced this kind of situation, and they had never thought about it before. Although they were usually lazy, they would have their own problems. It was a small thought, but they couldn't even think about letting them separate like this.

They didn't expect that Shen would agree. Does that mean the Beast God also agreed?

"Goddess." Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao and others hurriedly greet her, Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. Knowing that they were separated today, she came over curiously. This matter had nothing to do with her. After all, she and Xiao Yan had already agreed Now that the tribes are separated, it has no impact on them whether they are separated or not.

"Goddess, do you also support the witch doctor's idea?"

"Yeah." She was the one who proposed it. How could she not support it?

"Then how will we live if we are separated?" They have no food or anything, how can they live?

Since this is supported by the goddess, they know that even their objections are useless. If only the witch doctor or the goddess agrees, there is still room for maneuver in this matter, but they can only obey what the two of them decide.

Rather than wondering why you are doing this, it is better to think about what to do next.

There was no tribe to keep them safe, and as the witch doctor said, if they couldn't grow food, they would have to wait to starve.

"I will distribute the food collected this time to you. These are your rations and seeds. It is up to you to decide how much you want to eat." The witch doctor said calmly.

"Since you all agree, let me tell you the future arrangements."

"What arrangement?" Didn't you say let them live by themselves? Is there anything else to arrange?

"The elders of the tribe have paid a lot for the tribe in the past. You all grew up eating the prey they hunted. Now they also need to live after we are separated." We can't just let these old people die after we are separated.

The others nodded, sure enough.

"In the past, they hunted and gathered to raise you. Now that they are old, it's time for you to pay." After a pause, "Old people with children live with them, and the children are responsible for raising them. Those without children continue to live in The tribe built the house.”

"When your food is grown, each of you must hand over some food to the tribe to be used as rations for the elderly. You can also send some food to the tribe after you grow vegetables. Every three years, you must have new clothes made for each of the elderly, two pairs. Summer clothes, two winter clothes.”

She actually wanted them to tailor clothes every year, but the goddess said that if they wanted new clothes every day, she might cause dissatisfaction among others. After all, the two parties were not related by blood. Even though the old man really paid a lot for the tribe when he was young, but now Everyone lives separately, so naturally they have to take care of their own families first.

And it's fine for one or two years. As time goes by, I'll be a little dissatisfied. I'm just worried that I won't be doing enough to deliver food or do other things.

Others whispered, and the witch doctor looked at them with a tough attitude, "This is a hard condition. If you don't agree, we will still live together in the future."

"Witch doctor, that's not what we meant. Of course we do."

Some of them also envy the life of the goddess and Xiao Yan. They don't have to listen to the witch doctor in everything, they can make decisions by themselves. Although they have to rely on themselves for everything, no one will always control them. They can go and work when they want. Work and lie down at home when you don’t want to move.

"Just how much do we have to hand over?" After all, they also have to eat. If it's too much, I'm afraid they can't afford it, but as the witch doctor said, they paid a lot for the tribe when they were young, and when they are old, the tribe should also Provide for them in their old age, rather than ignoring them.

"Don't worry about this. I will discuss the regulations with the goddess, and you will know when the time comes." There are not many lonely old people in the tribe. There are nearly twenty. According to each family, there are nearly sixty households in the tribe. Each of their households It’s a lot to hand over, and the old man is not completely unable to move. She will also plant some land for them. They usually grow some vegetables to eat without having to trouble other people too much, so that they can live more comfortably.

They take good care of the land, and they can produce a lot of vegetables a year, which is enough for them to eat at ordinary times.

"good."

"Although we all live separately, if the tribe encounters any danger, you still have to work together. You must remember that only if the tribe is good can you be good. If there is no tribe, you will have no home. If the tribe breaks up, your The family is also separated.”

"Yes, witch doctor, don't worry, we will definitely not see the tribe in danger. If anyone dares to do harm to the tribe, then don't blame our fist for not agreeing."

"That is, if anyone wants to do anything to the tribe, we will be the first to not agree." They live separately, but this does not mean that they will allow others to come and bully them.

After hearing what they said, the witch doctor's expression softened a lot.

"I feel relieved to hear you say that." After a pause, "I have discussed with the goddess to build an ancestral hall in the tribe and put the tablets of the deceased ancestors in it for worship. On the ancestor's day or other festivals, everyone needs Go and worship.”

"Ancestral hall?"

"Yes, it's not just our ancestors. After we pass away, we will also be worshiped in ancestral halls by future generations and enjoy the incense of future generations."

The others heard it half-understood, but they had no objections. They knew that the witch doctor would definitely not harm them.

"Also, now the tribe's blacksmithing, carpentry... these activities cannot stop. You still have to do whatever you have to do. The tribe will pay you wages, which is food, which is equivalent to hiring you to work, and these are the tribe's industries. , then I will take out some things to exchange with other tribes, and I will send you food or other things every once in a while."

The tribe's existence depends on these things, and it is impossible to give up.
