Immortality, but people in primitive society
Chapter 35: Dowry, the Root of All Evil
"Chief, let's sit down and talk calmly?" Bai Tian suggested with a hint of embarrassment. "There will probably be many more incidents like this between our two tribes. Why don't we take this opportunity to set some rules in front of everyone?"
Chief Pingshan thought for a moment with a gloomy expression before nodding.
Bai Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Then Chief, can you wait outside for a while? I'll talk to them first."
Chief Pingshan glared at Lingran with great dissatisfaction, and then he walked out.
As soon as Chief Pingshan left, Lingran breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Chief Pingshan was usually very majestic.
Bai Tian walked up to Naida and smiled: "Naida, you really have grown up."
Naida blushed slightly and lowered his head: "Little Dad, I...I want to be with Lingran."
Naixi couldn't help but interrupt: "Naida, your teeth just grew in not long ago..."
"I can wait for him." Lingran said with a firm look on his face.
Naixi's cheeks twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say. As a sister, she was of course happy that Naida had found a woman, but this was too hasty, especially since the other party was the daughter of the head of the human family!
In Naixi's aesthetic sense, Lingran is just like her, the same as her little daddy!
Looking at Naida and Lingran, Bai Tian had a bold idea in his mind.
There is no big problem in letting these two children be together. The key is to solve future problems.
I had discussed this with Kamu and the others before daytime. Kamu and the others meant that they would not migrate again in the short term because this place was really nice and the Pingshan tribe was also very friendly.
However, the reproduction of the tribe in the future will definitely be a big problem, as there are too few of them.
As the Lai Ri tribe and the Pingshan tribe gradually interacted, things like Naida would definitely happen again. That would be a real problem, because Naida was only about the same size as Lingran, and the rest of the Lai Ri tribe were giants compared to the people of the Pingshan tribe.
I can't guarantee that during the day, under the distorted aesthetic, giants and villains will not appear together...
Besides, according to Chief Pingshan, people from other tribes often pass through this place. When other tribes pass through in the future, the same thing may happen again.
Thinking about it, Bai Tian whispered, "If you two really want to be together, then live a good life. I will solve other problems."
Naida was overjoyed: "Little Dad, you are so kind."
Bai Tian knocked him on the head and then walked out.
Naixi followed behind, frowning: "Little Dad, are you really letting them be together? Nai Da is still young..."
"But he's very strong." Bai Tian shrugged. "Besides, can you convince Naida to do something?"
Although Naida looks very honest, he is actually very stubborn. He will never change his mind no matter how hard he tries. Naixi has a deep understanding of this.
Naixi was very depressed: "But I'm always worried that they won't be able to support their children after they have them."
"Aren't we still around?" Bai Tian smiled.
Nai Xi thought about it and it made sense. She could also help Nai Da.
Bai Tian added, "As for you, Naixi, it's time for you to find a man."
Naixi's face immediately showed disdain: "I don't want it. The people of Pingshan tribe are so small, like moros. If I want to find someone, I want someone like Chief Kamu, tall and big. Little dad, you are just too small, otherwise I can have a friendship with you."
cough cough...
She almost choked to death during the day. She was his daughter in name only, he wouldn't dare to do that!
Besides, although Naixi wasn't as tall as her mother, she was still a head taller than Bai Tian. Her sturdy thighs could probably crush Bai Tian.
In fact, primitive people of this period had strong ethical values. It should be said that animals have a natural understanding of blood ties.
Even primitive people rarely engage in close mating. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are very rare, especially between people of different generations.
On the contrary, as human thought gradually became richer, all kinds of nonsense became more and more frequent...
Outside the Lai Ri tribe, two groups of people surrounded them.
On one side are the people of the Pingshan tribe, and on the other side are the people of the Lai Ri tribe.
Everyone was wondering why everyone was called over during the day.
Chief Pingshan glanced around and said solemnly, "Brother Bai Tian, everyone is almost here, please tell me."
Bai Tian stood up and said loudly with a slight smile: "Everyone, I asked everyone to come here. I mainly want to talk about the future of the tribe."
"First, I want to talk about marriage. It's about a man and a woman deciding to be together. If a woman is willing to go to the man's tribe, it's called marrying him..."
"Of course, men can also go to a woman's tribe. As long as two people want to be together, they can live anywhere."
"However, in order to make up for the tribe's losses, under normal circumstances, a certain amount of compensation should be given to the tribe. I call it a betrothal gift!"
Dowry, the root of all evil!
But during the day, apart from thinking about the bride price, I really couldn't think of any other good ideas.
We are now in a primitive society. If we want to get married, we must give a bride price. Otherwise, who will compensate the tribe for its losses?
In a public ownership society, it is not easy to raise an adult, especially when everyone is still in the hungry stage.
Regardless of gender, if one person is missing, that means a loss of combat power. This doesn't matter for a large tribe, but for a small tribe, the impact is huge.
For a tribe to survive, it must maintain a certain population, otherwise it will be destroyed sooner or later...
"I don't agree!" A man from the Pingshan tribe suddenly stood up.
All eyes were instantly focused on him, even during the day.
The man put his hands on his hips and held his head high with a proud look on his face. "It's normal for a man and a woman to be together, so how can they ask for a betrothal gift? If you ask me, wouldn't it be fair if no one asked for a betrothal gift?"
"Chief, think about it. Now your daughter has gone to the Lai Ri tribe. Then one day in the future, someone from the Lai Ri tribe will come to our tribe. Wouldn't that make it even?"
"Even though I'm at a disadvantage now, I won't be at a disadvantage in the future, so isn't that fair?"
This made a lot of sense, and everyone started talking about it.
Bai Tian was not surprised. In fact, he had already thought of this. From a macro perspective, it was indeed the case. He even wished there was no betrothal gift.
Bai Tian's mouth curled up slightly: "Do you have a daughter?"
The man was confused: "Yes..."
Chief Pingshan immediately took over the conversation: "Then let your daughter go to the Lai Ri tribe tomorrow."
The man suddenly twitched, his face flushed red: "Then, then we need another cow!"
Everyone burst into laughter...
When the crowd quieted down again, Bai Tian spoke again, "Let's go back and think about the issue of the betrothal gift. It would be best if we could improve it."
"Now I want to discuss the second question. I'm wondering if we can build a super-large house that's not easily attacked by wild animals, and then have people from both our tribes live in it?"
The idea of building a city had been on my mind for a long time, but I had always felt that the conditions were not ripe. Now, it felt like it was almost ready.
While city culture has its drawbacks, for now, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The Lai Ri tribe won't be leaving this place anytime soon, so building a city is the perfect fit...
