I am a primitive

This dress, of course, was not worn by Bai Xuemei for herself, nor for anyone in the tribe, but for Brother Cheng who was leading the construction in Jinguan City far away.

People are really strange. Some people are obviously far away and are not around, but once there are some good things and things, they will always think of them involuntarily and want to leave the best part for them. other side.

Happier than getting it myself...

The chilly wind blew, and the leaves on the trees rattled. Many of the leaves looked green, but they were actually scorched. When one stepped on them, they would make a crisp scorching sound.

Located in the Retting Pond on the lower reaches of the small river of the Qingquezhu Tribe, some and many people gather here.

Bundles of retting and soaking hemp were pulled out from the inside, and everyone peeled the hemp here.

After being placed in water for a long time, the outer skin has rotted, leaving only fine fibers, and the smell is not good at all.

However, no one in the Qingque Tribe disliked it. Even the witch also moved a small bench made of a few pieces of wood and sat here peeling hemp.

After these years of development, hemp has penetrated into all aspects of the Qingque tribe. The people of the Qingque tribe can no longer do without the rope made of hemp and the linen woven from hemp.

It is also because of this that everyone doesn't dislike this job that seems to be very smelly. Not only do they not dislike it, but they all have smiles on their faces.

Near the smelly retting pool, a rough and primitive singing voice rang out from time to time—"The black hemp skin is yours..."

Often after a male primitive person has sung, a female primitive person will sing in duet.

The lyrics are simple and straightforward, often with some strong, some things that both men and women are more concerned about.

After these years of development, the population of the Qingque tribe itself has continued to grow. The sheep tribe, green tribe, donkey tribe, and bone tribe that were originally close to the Qingque tribe have joined the Qingque tribe in one way or another. Among them, the happy party has not been held for many years.

Because it has been absorbing and integrating into other tribes, the current Qingque tribe no longer needs to hold a happy meeting.

Singing while retting and peeling hemp before has now been endowed with other meanings, and it has become an important day and activity for people in the tribe to choose and determine their spouses.

Up to now, those who sing when peeling hemp are basically grown-up or nearly grown-up people in the tribe.

In the antiphonal song, if the two sides can see each other, they can immediately go to the side to drill into the dry grass.

Of course, by getting into the dry grass, the two parties have become more formal spouses.

Later, you can go to the witch, and the witch will issue a thing called a marriage certificate by the son of God, and you can become an official spouse.

This kind of marriage certificate is a small rectangular copper plate made of bronze, on which the names of both parties are engraved with a knife made of meteorite.

On the north side of the copper plate, there is a relatively rough "囍" and the shape of a blue sparrow, all directly carved.

Such a marriage certificate is difficult to tear up, and if you want to divorce, you need to find Wu again, let Wu take back the marriage certificate, and then re-melt it to make other things.

Of course, divorce has not happened so far. The concept of marriage in the tribe has only been strengthened after Han Cheng arrived. It is still in a relatively primitive stage, and people don’t have much idea. They are still in the stage of a large pot of food, and the gap between them is not too big, so no one thinks about divorce.

In the understanding of everyone in Qingque, to become a spouse is to become a spouse, so why do you need to break up the relationship with each other?

Isn't this troublesome?

Therefore, the Qingque tribe usually waits until the death of one of the spouses to terminate the relationship between spouses. After the death of the other spouse, the remaining spouse can find a new spouse.

Another aspect that needs to be mentioned is that the Qingque tribe is not a monogamous system.

This is not the result of Han Cheng's intentional guidance, but is determined by the objective conditions in the tribe.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The emergence of any system must be supported by actual conditions, and it must be in line with reality, such as the spouse system of the Qingque tribe.

In the tribe itself, there is a situation where one person has multiple wives, and Han Cheng, who only married one Bai Xuemei, has no mandatory requirements. He must let all the people in the tribe be like him and perform monogamous pairing.

This is not caused by machismo or the like, but the actual situation in the tribe is here, and it is impossible not to obey this.

In the tribe, there are now more than twice as many adult women as adult men. If monogamy is forced, more than half of the female primitives in the tribe will become bachelors and become old maids.

This is not good at all, it is not conducive to the internal unity of the Qingque tribe, and it is too cruel for these primitive women.

It's a long night, how can I sleep alone?

It’s okay if you really live alone, but the key is that the Qingque Tribe still implements Datongpu. Except for a few, it’s impossible for a family to live in a house, let alone a person. A house is up.

Since then, the problem has come, listening to the melodious original ditty, it is difficult to fall asleep...

Another reason is that this is extremely unfavorable to the increase in the population of the Qingque tribe.

It is also because of this that the Qingque Tribe's current conjugal system, which is not particularly clear, but basically has been agreed upon, has been formed.

It is foreseeable that as the ratio of men to women in the tribe gradually balances, this system will definitely change and gradually move closer to monogamy.

After all, no one wants to lie on the kang at night and just listen to other people humming...

The chilly wind also couldn't dispel the fiery hearts of the people. The rough and tactful singing voices rang out here. It didn't take long for a pair of young people who were attracted to each other because of their singing to be lost. The hemp in his hand was being peeled, and he went to the river to wash off the mud on his hands and arms, and then ran happily one after the other to a small forest not too far away.

With their successful example, the remaining young people suddenly became more active, especially those male young people, who were all excited like chicken blood, and their singing voices were much louder.

Even a few people who are not very good at singing, or who are relatively shy, all opened their mouths and sang loudly. Among them, the younger sister who was taught by Shenzi to sit on the bow of the boat was sung the most. .

The second is the "Crossing the River" that Shenzi once taught everyone, which is the song "A bend~bend~ river in front of my brother, and my sister is singing sweet~sweet~ opposite.

Not long after, someone held hands and ran together to the small woods not far away.

It's just that different from the previous couple, this time there were three people holding hands and running towards the grove, one man and two women.

Wu sat on a small bench, holding a torn hemp head in one hand, and a hemp rod in the other hand, blocking it on the small wooden stake nailed in front of him, and pulling it a little harder, the hemp skin It was pulled down.

He is very proficient in doing such things.

While peeling the hemp, Wu raised his eyes and looked around, seeing these young people who were trying to sing, or ran towards the grove after singing, with smiles on their wrinkled faces.

He can't get enough of things like this.

After what happened today, after a while, many newborn babies will be born in my tribe.

People are about the same. When they get old, they always want to watch their offspring get married and have children, and then run around their knees. Even if there is a little guy who makes troubles and irritates people occasionally, he still feels sweet in his heart.

Those who were older and already had spouses also looked at these with great interest, recalling what they had done, comparing it with the scene in front of them, their hearts were full of warmth.

There are also some who are more good at playing, not only recalling by themselves, but also helping their partners to recall.

From time to time, I would go to my partner's ear and whisper something that only two people know, which made the other party laugh for a while.

Because of the holding of this event, the work of stripping hemp, which should have been relatively cold and bitter, suddenly became warmer.

Everyone was talking and laughing while doing these things, and they didn't feel that it was too painful at all.

Another thing that needs to be mentioned is that the young people of the right age who live in the Tongshan residential area will also rush back to the main tribe from the Tongshan residential area before the mahjong stripping starts to participate in this tribal event. In other words, the grandest mate selection event.
