Mountains and seas can be flat

Fang Zheng's expression froze, and then he became livid as the clouds covered him. He grabbed Lian Feng's neck like lightning, and said in a voice like tin iron, "You have something to do with him?"

"It's not...cough..." Lian Feng was pinched so hard that his little face almost turned purple before Fang Zheng let go.

"Master Zifeng...cough cough, you don't know me...I just..." Lian Feng showed a sad look. "Master Zifeng is very famous, I just want to ask Brother Zheng, it seems that you... know him?"

Fang Zheng's bones were so weak because of the double word, and he wanted to compete and show off for no reason. From the tone of his voice, the young man probably admired Zifeng. Fang Zheng said disdainfully, "What's so great about him. Three years ago... Near here, I saw him with my own eyes..." Fang Zheng lowered his voice, showing his white teeth, "He was killed by the big blue dragon."

At the same time, after saying this sentence, Fang Zheng also knew that no matter whether the boy had any problems, he had no way out and could never leave this place again.

Lian Feng's face was very strange, he froze for a moment, and seemed to be frightened, he lowered his head and shrank back, speaking incoherently: "I..."

Lian Feng glanced around the room in a panic, as if looking for something to divert his attention, suddenly his whole body trembled, his eyes lit up instantly, and he pointed to the stone table by the window.There was a distorted clay bottle, and it could be seen that Fang Zheng wanted to pinch it into a thin neck, but in the end it turned into a gourd-shaped thing.But inside, there are two huge white peony flowers blooming.

"It's so beautiful." Lian Feng felt sincerely, "There are peony flowers here."

Fang Zheng's expression was complicated, was it a coincidence, or did Lian Feng really have something to do with Zifeng, why did he point to the two peony flowers immediately after asking about Zifeng?

But three years ago... that guy convulsively sent his own seeds, and there was no chance for others to know, right?Can only be a coincidence?

Pooh.Fang Zheng thought that Zifeng's heart was full of anger, but he didn't want to vent his anger on the two flower seeds.He's not that hypocritical.He laughed dryly, and decided never to tell this boy where the peony seeds came from.

Seeing that Fang Zheng's expression had calmed down, Lian Feng asked tentatively again: "Brother Zheng, I have learned before that peonies are suitable for planting in places with a cool climate. Your place is quite humid and hot..."

"Don't ask so many questions." Fang Zheng glared at him again.Lian Feng quickly retreated to the head of the bed, pulled up the animal skin mattress slightly to cover half of his face, and peeked at Fang Zheng secretly with his eyes narrowed into slits.

Since this little thing is trying so hard to please and pretend to be good, Fang Zheng is also happy to watch him play.

Fang Zheng couldn't help smiling again, found two pieces of fox skin and rubbed it around Lian Feng's ears, and wrapped his head into a fluffy bird's nest, with only his face exposed.

"Sleep well and don't talk."

Fang Zheng was surprised by himself: he never thought that one day, he would be able to "coax a child".

This Lianfeng, Fang Zheng could tell, was a bit scheming.

Fang Zheng knew it from the beginning when he was called "Brother Zheng".

Weak people know this without a teacher, and Fang Zheng took it for granted.Since the other party is pretending to be flattering, then play with him.Fang Zheng thought to himself, it's just to pass the boring time.

When Fang Zheng rested that night, he was still incredulous about his decision.At this moment, he actually brought a boy back to his room?

Sure enough, life is too comfortable.

Before the crossing, his life was dark and turbulent, and when he first crossed, he was caught off guard by the waves.Until a chance coincidence settled down here.After three years of life without waves, Fang Zheng slowly regained the feeling of "living life" that he didn't have to worry about and suffer day and night many years ago.

When a person lives alone for a long time, he is eager to establish a stable relationship.

But Fang Zheng didn't want to find a woman.As for the men who were brought in before, Fang Zheng didn't even look down on them, and let those women enjoy it casually.Lian Feng was the first existence that made Fang Zheng more pleasing to the eye, so he naturally thought about more communication.

In the end, after bringing the man back to the house, Fang Zheng was worried again. Did he want to talk to someone, or did he want to recognize a child?

Although Lian Feng did it deliberately, it is rare for Fang Zheng to feel this way.Fang Zheng will be very confused about his mentality for a while.But in any case, there was a second person in another room who fell asleep unsuspectingly, which brought Fang Zheng a rare "not alone" type of peace of mind.

It's really interesting that after so many years, he actually found this feeling again.It's just that the role seems to have changed. He was still very young at the time, and he felt a sense of "dependence" when he heard the breathing of his adoptive father on the other side of the room.But at this moment, he had the illusion that another weak life was in the house, and he became the "dependent" character.

Is this the feeling?

Although this peace of mind is based on the fact that Fang Zheng tied Lianfeng's hands and feet with ropes to ensure that he would not make trouble when he was asleep.

Forget it, no matter what it becomes, we will think about it later.Fang Zheng turned over and continued to sleep. He hadn't finished checking whether Lianfeng had any problems, especially with Zifeng. There seemed to be an unusual relationship, so he must investigate thoroughly.

The next day was bright, Fang Zheng woke up, and today he was going to go to the neighborhood to continue collecting good things.He walked to a waterfall before, and vaguely saw a cave behind him. In those places, useful herbs usually grow, or he is lucky to find some rare fungi.

But today there is another person in the room to arrange.Fang Zheng walked to the bed next door and looked at Lian Feng who was still sound asleep.

Lian Feng's injury has not healed, so it is impossible to go out with him.

But if he left by himself and left him alone in the room, what if he disobeyed and moved around, or even ran away?

Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, and pushed Lian Feng to wake him up. The other party's sleeping position did not move at all, his head was buried in the fox's fur obediently, and when he woke up, his eyes were sleepy: "Brother Zheng..."

Fang Zheng grabbed his arm, and there was already a rough thing around his arm, which was the rope tied last night.Fang Zheng changed to a longer one.

Lian Feng vaguely felt that his right hand was tied up again, and when he took a closer look, Fang Zheng tied his hand to the head of the bed with a piece of hemp vine.

The thick vine was longer than last night, about two feet. He could get out of bed and walk to the door, but he couldn't leave the house.

Fang Zheng said fiercely with a straight face: "There are medicines and food on the table. There is a dry pond on the left side of the door. Don't think about cutting it open with anything. If you dare to mess with my things, I will definitely punish you severely when I come back .”

Only Fang Zheng's bronze sword or bulky stone weapon could cut through such a thick rope, and Fang Zheng hid them in places where the opponent could not reach.What's more, the young man probably didn't have the strength to lift it up, but Fang Zheng was still worried about scaring him.

Lian Feng's hands were tied, he was taken aback for a moment, then instead of showing any grievances, he laughed instead, "I won't run, and I won't rummage."

"Better so."

"Brother Zheng, come back early." The young man was still behind his back, and greeted him in a cordial tone.

Fang Zheng almost stumbled on the threshold, and looked back with a complicated expression. Lian Feng sat peacefully on the head of the bed, his long hair draped softly behind his back, and his gentle face was pale and delicate.

"In short, you are not allowed to leave." Fang Zheng "brainwashed" Lian Feng with a cold face. It took three years to build a small ancient utopia here, and no one was allowed to destroy it.

Fang Zheng slipped out quickly.He didn't see Lian Lian's head buried under the ends of his hair behind him, so he chuckled thoughtfully.

Fang Zheng hadn't walked past a few houses when he heard discordant noises in the early morning.

The black and gray stone houses are widely spaced. In the space between the houses, each family has its own fence or shed. It is a house lived in vines and thatch. The gate of the fence outside is wide open. Several women and a man stand Over there, there was a lot of shouting and abuse at the door.

Fang Zheng's way out of the village also passed through that gate, and he heard it more clearly as he walked.

"Once in four days as promised! You always destroy!"

"He loves to come to me, can you control me!"

Fang Zheng understood after listening to a few sentences, yes, this kind of thing still happened.

The man there is a fugitive slave from Badian Kingdom, who has been here for more than a year.That guy was considered handsome, so four women married him one after another.Fujimao is one of them.

The four married couples rotate once every four days.It went very smoothly at first.

But shortly after the marriage, one of the women became pregnant.

Being unable to share the same bed after pregnancy, Tengmao took the opportunity to let the man come and spend the night with him during the days when he was supposed to be with the pregnant woman.

The Badian male slave was naturally happy to push the boat along.After all, compared to the joy of having a night with other women, being with a pregnant woman is hard work.

There were too many times, and the pregnant woman's anger reached a peak, and she came to the vine hut and sternly accused her.

There were faint signs of this kind of thing happening in the past, for example, other men in dual marriages occasionally choose which woman to spend the night on their own instead of according to the number of days.

But the degree is relatively light. After talking a few times, I will follow the rules again.

After all, at the beginning, the women kept their pairing marriage wholeheartedly, and the men were cautious because their personal freedom was restricted.

But after living for a long time, I gradually gained a sense of ownership, weakened my worry mentality, and became more and more dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.People's inferiority breaks out, and such incidents gradually reveal their clues.

Although it belongs to the internal affairs of their tribe, Fang Zheng still takes care of it occasionally. Too many conflicts will destroy stability and cause hidden dangers of turmoil.

Fang Zheng always popularizes with these tribal women when he has time: ask them to train more to strengthen their bodies.It is best to practice martial arts.But maybe it was too safe in the valley. After they got their new life and freedom, they enjoyed the abundant collection resources and the joy brought by the combination with men that they had never imagined before. The day and night were full, and they had no time to practice martial arts.

Fang Zheng walked to the front of the house and stood with arms folded. When the others saw him, they stopped arguing and said, "It's just in time for you to come..."

In this era, there is no such thing as "evaluating a reason", after all, they don't even know what a "reason" is.But they know that Fang Zheng can always help them solve problems every time he speaks and does things.

They all respect Fang Zheng spontaneously.

This can be regarded as the embryonic form of "ritual and legal litigation" in later generations.

Fang Zheng scanned the four women and one man, and one of the pregnant women had tears on her face, and her lower abdomen was swollen, which was months old.Next to Teng Mao showed a look of disdain.

Fang Zheng was also very straightforward, and blamed the man: "He is pregnant with your child, and you don't want to accompany him, is it reasonable? You don't follow the rules. I will give you medicine to become stupid, and then lock you up."

As soon as this statement came out, not everyone agreed.

First of all, the man was taken aback: "My child? It's obviously your child."

Fang Zheng smiled angrily: "Even if the commune raises them collectively, isn't it your child?"

After the man is picked up, the most intuitive feeling is the social attribute of the tribe.Except for a detached Fang Zheng, the status of men here is the lowest. If you resist a little, you will be poisoned and stupid. If you want to escape, you will be locked up. It is not your own decision to marry several women.So there is no sense of "children are their own".It wasn't until Fang Zheng said this that he seemed to realize something.

Teng Mao objected: "I can't do it when I'm pregnant with a child, so what's wrong with going there after giving birth."

The pregnant woman choked, and wanted to refute but couldn't organize her words, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Fang Zheng got into a fight with Teng Mao again, "Sister, pair marriage is not just for fun. You are physically and emotionally vulnerable when you are pregnant, and you need help and comfort from others, otherwise why would you get married?",

Tengmao Fangzheng was grateful and disgusted, and didn't dare to provoke him, but whenever he had the opportunity to ridicule him, he said a few words: "You know so well, so why don't you go comfort him?"

Fang Zheng sneered and said: "Tengmao, you are stupid again. If I like women, there is still a chance for a man in this village to be picked up? The arrangement of your pair marriage was discussed by yourself. Now that you have decided, don't want it." change."

"Can't you go back on your word?" Teng Mao held the Badian man by her arms, and she felt possessive and jealous, "I don't want him to touch other women, okay?"

Fang Zheng asked the Badian man with a half-smile, "You don't want to touch other women?"

The Badian man glanced at his four wives hesitantly, and hesitated to speak.

"Slap", Teng Mao slapped him, and cried: "Liar! You clearly said—"

That's fine, now let them quarrel by themselves, Fang Zheng retired.

What Fang Zheng thought was that it seems that the rules of couple marriage should be more clearly defined. How many people can be with, time allocation, fulfillment of responsibilities, and corresponding punishment for violations must be matched, which is indispensable...

Find time to discuss with the two elders, this small tribe should also "establish rules".

Cang reports the truth and knows etiquette.After filling people's stomachs, other problems must be solved.

In fact, it was incredible for Fang Zheng to reach this stage.

If they quarreled over these things all day long and wasted production time, it would also affect Fang Zheng's usual exchange of items.

It doesn't matter.

Fang Zheng walked around the cave behind the waterfall and picked up some colorful coral fungi.It was found that the cave was very deep, and if he wanted to go further, he should have brought a torch.

In the depths of the cave, Fang Zheng saw clear hoof prints.

The barrier of volcanic rock formed after the surrounding magma has cooled, few large animals can enter.Those with hooves are generally herbivores, and according to the toe prints, they look a bit like a horse.

But Fang Zheng didn't dare to take it lightly. He didn't forget that Si, like a hippopotamus, also has hooves, but is a carnivore.

What disturbed him even more was that if the passage was big enough for an outside "horse" to pass through, then the barrier around the Horde...had a gap.Not only the only entrance and exit.

Fang Zheng felt that this was a big deal, and he had to bring a torch to explore tomorrow.

He covered some haystacks and vines at the entrance of the cave, and turned back, it was already evening.

He had just walked to the door of the house where the four women and Badian's husband were mediating during the day, when he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. Many people gathered around and couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.

Fang Zheng squeezed in with great effort, and the people around saw Fang Zheng and said, "Finally here" and "Go in quickly".

Fang Zheng walked in and saw a corpse lying on the ground. It was the badian man whose four wives had quarreled in the morning. There was a deep bruise on his neck, as if he had been dead for a long time.

What's even more strange is that Lian Feng was standing beside him, the thick hemp rope was still tied to his hand, but it seemed to be cut off in the middle.

Before Fang Zheng could question him, he saw the four women surrounding him, their sharp gazes were directed at Fang Zheng, Teng Mao pointed at Lian Feng and shouted at Fang Zheng: "It's him! He strangled our man to death!!"
