From Chief to Ball

After eating this non-bitter acorn meal with these people, Chen Jian and his tribe got up to leave.

The leader was cruel and hoped that Chen Jian would stay for another day, and she would kill the fattest sheep.

"No need, since we are the same ancestor, the greatest hope of our ancestors is that we can get better and better, as long as you remember that all this comes from the protection of our ancestors."

The leader nodded again and again and said that he would never forget, and turned around with his tribe to kill the sheep. Chen Jian didn't stop, and talked to the children in the cave, took his tribe away, and yelled from a distance to tell them to kill the sheep by themselves. Save it.

The leader ran back from the sheepfold in a hurry, babbling a few words about why the tribesmen in the cave didn't stop him. After scanning the cave a few times, he finally found a few pieces of jerky that he hadn't been willing to eat.

Call some of the best lads in the clan, and let them immediately chase after him on the horned deer.Several young men solemnly stepped on the horned deer, chased after Chen Jian, and stuffed the pieces of dried meat that they had been reluctant to eat into the wicker basket on the grass sledge.

The leader stood at the entrance of the cave, watching the distant figures of Chen Jian and others, and the flag until it disappeared.

A child stood beside the leader, raised his head and asked, "Grandmother, the ancestors will always protect us, right?"

She kindly stroked the child's braided horns, nodded and said: "Yes, she will always protect us."

"Then when are we going to the village? I really want to go to the village, but I miss my mother and you..."

The leader looked at the nine-year-old child, sniffed the smell of the plowed land, picked up the child and said: "When the apricots are yellow, let's go together and live in the village. You can play in the village, or Can see us, see mom."

The child cheered and asked, "Aren't we living here?"

"I don't live here anymore. We'll move in when the apricots turn yellow. Let's live in a house and never eat acorns again."

Similar conversations echoed in the caves in the mountains, and every tribe Chen Jian visited was discussing this matter.

This time, Chen Jian didn't mention a word to let them move out of Dashan, and he didn't even mention related topics.Just like the flames after the snow, these people felt warm at the coldest time. This seemingly unintentional fire burned away the last bit of doubt in their hearts.

Except for staying in the first tribe for two days to see the effect, the rest of the tribes just went and left, time was running out.

In eight days, he visited ten tribes, brought simple medicines, and gained the trust of these people. The black and white flag finally stood up in the hearts of these people.

Calculating the time, there are still seven or eight days to prepare to punish those tribes, and I have to prepare when I go back.

On the way back, Chen Jian kept telling Songlai what to say when he went to a foreign race, and tried his best to summarize some of the methods he knew to treat minor ailments.

Song firmly remembered that he could see that Chen Jian took this matter very seriously.

"Get ready after you go back and set off as soon as possible. You don't have to participate in the punishment of those tribes. In addition, a few women will be with you. There are some things you and the women can't talk about."

Having said that, it was hard to find a woman. Almost all the adult women in the clan were pregnant, and Chen Jian would have an extra brother or sister next year.

When he was approaching the village, he saw his cousin Lancao picking up water there. Chen Jian waved to Lancao and asked her to come over.

It has been four or five months since Xinghuang last time, Lancao is obviously not pregnant, this is a personal choice.

Lancao brushed her hair and walked over. Before Chen Jian could speak, she said to herself, "Brother, you came back just in time. I have something to tell you. I'm pregnant."

Several clansmen nearby laughed, and Chen Jian also smiled and said, "Good thing, another child is going to be born in the clan. Does the old grandmother know? Does our family know?"

"Got it, I'm waiting for you to come back."

Chen Jian is a little strange. It is a good thing for my sister to be pregnant these days. Even if I don’t know who the father of the child is, it is something worthy of celebration. What happened today?

After thinking for a while, Chen Jian asked, "Is the child from the Stone tribe?"

Lancao nodded, pointing to a few people of Shi surname who were busy in the distance: "It's not his, it's his, or it's his, anyway, it's the three of them. One is good-looking, and the other is making a wreath for me. Blowing the bone flute, there is another one that works faster. I don’t know who it is, but it must belong to the three of them. I only think these three people are very good.”

When Chen Jian heard this, his heart jumped, he patted his thigh happily, and asked excitedly, "They fought because of you?"

Lancao asked inexplicably: "Fight for me? Why do you fight?"

"No? Then what are you waiting for me?"

Lancao frowned and said: "Shitou and the old grandmother are discussing this matter. It's not just me, there are women in their tribe who are pregnant, and they are children of our tribe. Those three people also want their children to know that they are their blood. Knowing who the child belongs to, and now that they know it, they feel that half of the child belongs to their tribe."

Chen Jian said subconsciously: "What do you mean? They want this child? How can it be done!"

After I finished speaking, I realized that what I said was really assimilated by this era, and I said it subconsciously, and realized that I was wrong when I woke up.

When I hurried into the room, several people were already sitting in the room, discussing this matter.

Everything in the previous tribe was dealt with by the experience passed down from the ancestors, but now more and more experiences have become meaningless, and they cannot even deal with what is happening now.

According to the rule of non-marriage in the clan, the children born are naturally members of the clan.I didn't know who the father of the child was before, and even if I knew, the distance was very far, and I would never see each other at ordinary times.

What happened to the women of the Kelancao and Stone tribes was completely different from what happened before. Even though they were not sure who the father of the child was, they could still confirm that the child's blood was from two families. This was a big deal.

Shi Shi and the tribe didn't compete for this unborn child, but felt that it was a little different.After all, this is the first child who was not born to a woman from his own tribe, but who was sure to have his own tribe's blood.

They hoped that the child could remember their tribe. The three men felt like being fathers for the first time, and naturally distributed some of the pampering that they had been uncles to this unborn child. But the continuation of my blood in this world!

Chen Jian has never been a father, but he can guess this feeling.Seeing Chen Jian coming back, the people in the room hurriedly asked, "Jian, do you know?"

"understood."

Shi Shi said: "This child has the blood of our tribe after all. Now it's not the same as before. As long as you know who your mother is, you also need to know who gave birth to him. Half of the child's blood is surnamed Shi."

The old grandmother shook her head and said, "It's always been like this before, a woman's child is a woman's."

"In the past, my mother didn't know who gave birth to me, and I don't remember who gave birth to a child, but this is different. We don't want this child, but we want this child to know that he is also our relative."

"Let Lancao tell the children in the future."

"How can I do that? Why did Jian draw the tribal oath on the clay board? Why didn't he just tell the children? My surname is Shi, and I know my name, so I know that I belong to this tribe. A painting on a clay tablet."

The old grandmother said with some displeasure: "Did you give this child the surname Shi? That child has half the blood of our tribe. How can there be such a child without a woman?"

"Of course it's not Shi, but he has to know. Besides, you can't have a child without a man! Jian, tell me."

Chen Jian didn't expect these people to be so serious about bloodlines. It is said that he supports children taking their father's surname. This is an inevitable trend, but now the tribal people will definitely not accept it.

He thought about it for a while, and it would be nice to have the concept of a father now, and he could only transition a little bit, so he said in a low voice: "Or...or this child has two surnames? This child has both our blood and Your bloodline will not be able to interbreed with people from our two races in the future."

At this time, I can only think of this kind of idea. Some things need a material foundation. A man cannot fully support most of the survival needs of the tribe for a day.

As more and more people gathered in the house, women from both clans were pregnant, and both men and women wondered what to do next.

They have never experienced such a thing, so they will naturally think a lot, what will happen when this child grows up and can give birth to a doll?It must be clearly distinguished who can have babies and who are their own blood relatives and cannot have babies together.In the past, only the mother's relatives had to be considered, but in the future, the man's relatives had to be considered.

More and more tribes will move here. It is foreseeable that there will be more and more such things. It is good to come up with a charter earlier.

Double surnames will definitely be eliminated in the future as a transition, but it will take time.As soon as Chen Jian's idea was mentioned, everyone in the room agreed and thought it was a good idea, but there were more important issues to come.

Which of the two surnames comes first?Which is behind?

Just as Chen Jian guessed, the first fight between men and women broke out in this room, regardless of relatives, only gender.
