"There is an island on the other side of the ocean. There are only a few men on the island, and the rest are women. In the words of the locals, this island is a matriarchal society." The storyteller stroked his beard and began to speak.

"How can a woman be in charge of a household and rule an island? It's simply nonsense." A scholar-like man below immediately retorted.

"This is obviously a made-up story. What can a group of women do!" another sturdy man also sneered.

“Sir, where is this island? Is it far from here?” A tall, thin man with an unpleasant look in his eyes asked with a lewd and teasing expression. Several men next to him also looked at the storyteller with lewd expressions and echoed: “How come there are only a few men? Wouldn’t their lives be… hehehehe…”

The others who were listening to the storytelling also started discussing it.

Zhu Yu didn't say anything. This plot was a bit like the Country of Women, but there were a few men on the island, so it wasn't that absolute. However, the person who wrote the story either wanted to attract attention or was hostile to male power.

Seeing that the discussion was getting heated, the storyteller answered the question of “only a few men” by saying, “What is the reason why there are only a few men on this island?

In fact, many babies are born on this island every year, but after they are born, the superiors will send people to the family to confirm the gender of the baby.

Only the first baby boy is allowed to stay each year, and the others will be taken away and sent to the baby boy cave on the mountain.

The baby boy's cave is surrounded by wild beasts, and the baby boy sent there will not be spared.

But the women on the island had no objection to this system, and some even sent their baby boys to the baby boy cave without waiting for the arrival of the people sent by the superiors. "

"What? This is absolutely ridiculous! Who gives them the courage to treat men like this!" An older man in a long gown who was drinking tea at a tea stall near the storyteller was so angry when he heard this that he slammed the table hard, causing the tea in the cup to spill out.

"Yes, who will support them without men? They are a bunch of bitches, how dare they?" A burly man with a beard echoed indignantly, and slapped the woman who was listening to the storytelling with him loudly. The woman's face swelled up instantly. She did not cover her face or cry, but just lowered her head silently. For her, getting beaten seemed to be the most normal thing.

The man saw her like this and received strange looks from some people around her. He sneered with satisfaction: "I told you, you are all useless trash. How dare you do that?"

Some people looked compassionate and said, "What if wild beasts come? Can they resist them? Not to mention foreign enemies! Is there really such an island? Where is this island? This is simply the opposite of the heavens. The surrounding countries should directly occupy it and make it right."

"How is that possible? Why are you so excited? How can women survive without men? Just treat it as a joke." A man who claimed to be knowledgeable said with a smile.

The storyteller ignored the incompetent rage from the crowd below and continued, "The reason why this island came into this state is quite legendary.

It is said that there was a slave country nearby. Due to the abundance of resources, the number and quality of their slaves were also very good. Many slave owners felt that female slaves were not as practical as male slaves, but the bishops they believed in did not advocate killing. After suffering from this for a long time, someone came up with such a good idea to transport some of the excess female slaves to this island like garbage and leave them alone.

At the beginning, only one or two families did this, and the number of women sent to the island was not large. They were either eaten by wild beasts or bitten to death by poisonous creatures. But later, more and more people knew this method, and more and more women were sent. Sometimes, even several full boats were sent. With more people, they knew more things, and their survival ability improved. Some people began to survive, and over time, the scale was formed.

However, this island is not the one I described at the beginning.”

Everyone:? ? ?

That’s right, if it was this island, the slave owners would have discovered it, and there would have been people with bad intentions.

"At first, the women who survived just gathered in a cave to shelter from the wind and rain and avoid wild animals and poisons. But later, a woman who used to be very popular in the master's family and was well-informed came to the island. She led these women, and not only did they unite on the island to survive better, but they even built a simple boat.

They used this boat to try to go out to sea many times, constantly exploring places more suitable for survival, and finally found the island mentioned above. We will call this island Women's Island. "

Some people in the crowd sighed when they heard this: "They are also a group of miserable people."

"Yes, fortunately they are not allowed to kill, otherwise..." Some people thought of how they dealt with the unexpected baby girl.

Amid the sighs, the storyteller continued, "These women slowly survived on the Women's Island. They left people on the original island to take turns guarding and secretly rescue the women who were sent there later. Many years later, when no one was sending people to the island anymore, they withdrew the people guarding there."

"Why don't you send them off? Can people be killed over there?" asked a man with a vicious face.

The people around him suddenly fell silent and no one dared to speak. It seemed that someone had suffered a loss at the hands of this man.

The storyteller was silent for a moment, pretending not to have heard the question. He did not answer the question and continued, "The biggest difference between the life of women on this island and places like ours, apart from the fact that there are very few men, is that women on the island are not swayed by their parents' orders or matchmakers' words. They have absolute control over themselves and are very united. In order to avoid being eliminated because they are not as good as men, they tacitly choose to control the number of men on the island.

Everyone was quietly working at their own field to make life on the island better. Those who were good at hunting hunted, those who were good at planting studied planting, and those who were good at women's work studied how to use existing materials such as plants and animal skins to make daily necessities. In short, life gradually got better and the population gradually grew in size.

This is the story of Women’s Island.”

"A bunch of little girls, don't they still have to rely on men to carry on the family line? Bah!" After hearing this abruptly ended story, some people were still indignant, wondering why men were treated like this.

"Tsk tsk, no matter how I listen to it, I feel like it's great to be a man living on this island. It's like a god's life." There are also people with evil intentions.

Ai Yun nodded in agreement: "If possible, an island like this would be perfect." For a woman in the current environment.

In her era, women were not superior to anyone, but simply became themselves. They were not anyone's daughter, sister, or wife, daughter-in-law, or mother. They were just whoever they wanted to be.

And this confidence comes from the advancement of science and technology and the evolution of society.

In their time, technology had advanced sufficiently, and the size difference between men and women was no longer obvious. Women were no longer at a disadvantage due to differences in physical strength and height. However, here, it obviously doesn't work. Just think about the slap from that sturdy man just now. It looks painful.

Zhu Yu, like all the women around her who had been silent since the beginning of the story, did not comment and led everyone away silently.

She is not a deity, and cannot solve the problems that humans have been unable to solve for thousands of years. Even in the era of her previous life, the situation of women was not much better. They even had to bear the burden of being social animals to support their families. It is impossible to say whether they were equal or more exploited.

Her greatest kindness is not to deliberately spread ideas that are completely useless to this era, so as to avoid causing unnecessary sacrifices.

At the moment they left, a plainly dressed girl hidden in the crowd quietly followed behind Ai Yun. Her actions did not escape the eyes of the secret guards hiding in the dark, and several people instantly perked up.
