The woman was sneering.
This woman left a deep impression on him. When other Awu women saw him, they would usually show expressions of awe, gratitude or love, but only this woman remained expressionless every time she saw him. She has parasites, and she was given medicine to kill the worms, but she didn't say any words of thanks.
Speaking of which, the woman never looked for him after that, and he had no way of determining whether the parasites in her stomach had been knocked out.
Except for this woman, the Awu people are more or less parasitic, especially children. Of course, this has a lot to do with their eating habits.
Yan Mo didn't mean that the woman had to thank him, but the cold, meaningless and even slightly sarcastic face of the other party was really uncomfortable for people to see.
The age of the woman is the oldest among all women, but Yan Mo knows that the other party is at most in the late thirties.
The second half of thirty... This is almost the age of death in primitive society.
But the woman is different from other Awu women. She tidied herself up very well. Her long hair was just as boring, but she was tied with a rope behind her head. Two strands of hair were deliberately left on both sides of her face, and her face was also washed. It was very clean, and the fur coat looked neat.
The woman is very tall, about 1.75 meters by visual inspection, her curves are hidden under the animal fur coat, but her two slender and straight legs are still very eye-catching.
Although a woman is getting older, there are still many men who are interested in her and want to live with her, but the woman does not agree. She seems to have never had a male partner in a fixed relationship, and even raised the children by herself. But those men and tribes are also helping her raise the children.
"Sand Wolf, what are your plans?" The woman even gave herself such a masculine name.
The name she originally reported was "Sha Lang", but when he heard that it was a woman, he immediately changed it to "Sha Lang". ", don't call it "Shalang".
Yan Mo persuaded her that the surname "kill" is not good, and it will also affect the child's future name.
I don't know if it was because of the consideration of the child, the woman finally reluctantly agreed to replace "kill" with "sand", but "wolf" refused to change it no matter what.
So there was an extra female sand wolf in the tribe.
Sand Wolf raised his eyelids, his words were dry and simple, and he said indifferently: "My lord priest, everything is decided."
Ok? This tone doesn't sound like letting him decide everything, but it's similar to "XX, haven't you already decided everything for others?" Such an ironic and resentful meaning.
Yan Mo lightly tapped on the table to think, where did he offend this woman, or did his actions arouse the resentment of some Awu people to some extent
Sure enough, it is impossible for anyone to win everyone's love, no matter how much he pays.
But he couldn't reprimand Sand Wolf because of this, on the contrary he had to find out the crux of the problem.
"Do you really want me to help you decide? If you really think so, I will decide." Yan Mo showed his trademark gentle smile, and he did not argue with the woman whether he had completely controlled the Awu tribe in disguise, or even controlled Confused their minds, because that is the way it is.
Sand Wolf took a deep breath, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to express it correctly, she suddenly pushed away the people beside her, walked around the wooden table and walked to Yan Mo's side.
Her behavior made the two guards vigilant, and one of the guards reached out to push her away.
Yan Mo raised his hand to stop it, and looked at the woman.
Sand Wolf pointed to his forehead and said stiffly: "Touch me, listen to me."
Yan Mo shook his head, "No, just tell me, I will understand what you mean, no need to speak nine original languages."
However, women do not master many Awu languages, or the Awu language itself is not rich, and a sentence is often a connection of necessary words, which makes women's speech seem very stiff.
Sand Wolf didn't insist on Yan Mo touching her forehead. She took two steps back, returned to the front of the crowd, and said in Nine Original Language and Awu language: "Why, women want to live with men?"
The question is that Sand Wolf thinks that men should live with women
Yan Mo also discovered that the Awu people are in the process of alternation between maternity and patriarchy. In small tribes, both the father is the head of the family and the mother is the head of the family. Most of the mothers are polygamous. husband's family.
Yan Mo tapped his knee, how should he answer? Said that he was just doing things according to the inertial thinking of the patriarchal society? Said that the matriarchal clan is no longer suitable for the development process of the world? It is inevitable that the patrilineal clan with muscles is in a dominant position
The problem of the sand wolf and the various troubles that occurred today also made Yan Mo alert. His starting point may be good, but the leap is too big, which may be unacceptable to the local people of this era.
There is also his understanding and arrangements for women. He seems to despise these indigenous women from the bottom of his heart. He only regards them as weak, but forgets that their strength may not be high enough, but their nature has not been poisoned by feudal ideas such as "female virtue". Nor did they put themselves in a position inferior to men psychologically. On the contrary, because of the matriarchal influence that children followed their mothers, many aboriginal women were even tougher than men in terms of attitude and character.
What he did was wrong.
Although he has taken care not to allow patriarchy to appear too heavy in the system, whether it is the members of the adjudication team or the monogamy system, it has actually raised the status of men in disguise and put women in a more auxiliary and subordinate position.
Although he didn't mean it. What's more, who said that a patriarchal society must be the correct direction of development? The historical process of the original world can be used for reference, but it is not absolutely correct.
Perhaps he can consciously give equal weight to matriarchy and patriarchy, allowing the two to develop in balance
His purpose is not to come to this world to dominate the world, nor is he a patriarch, otherwise the nine rules are definitely not those nine rules, he just wants to subtract the scum value and create a good living environment for future children and him .
That being the case, will consciously improving the status of women make people lose more of their scum? Would a social formation in which matriarchy and patriarchy were equal and complementary would be better for his children? After all, he didn't know whether his child was a boy or a girl when he came into this world. If it was a girl, if the status of a woman was not high, wouldn't Dudu suffer a lot
And it seems more interesting to do so, doesn't it
Yan Mo suddenly felt a sense of excitement. This is like doing an experiment, and the subject of the experiment is not just one person, but the whole tribe, the whole country, and even... the whole world!
"Huh..." Yan Mo exhaled lightly, and looked at Sand Wolf with a sincere smile, "Thank you, you made me sober, and also made me realize what I did wrong. You are very good!"
The sand wolf suddenly changed color, and her cold and sarcastic face suddenly turned red. She never expected that the priest would thank her. Even when the priest refused to touch her forehead, she already had the terrible expectation that she would be expelled from the tribe .
But why should the priest thank her? Did she say something? Didn't she just ask one question
The confusion of the Sand Wolf was also the confusion of all the Awu people present. No one knew why the priest would suddenly thank the Sand Wolf. They all thought that the priest would punish her for being disrespectful.
Duofei hid behind the crowd and watched the development of the situation. She was secretly happy that the sand wolf came out. Not everyone in this tribe listened to the little priest.
"Tell me, if you have any questions, I'll explain them together later." Yan Mo said gently.
Sand Wolf stared at the white-haired young priest with a vicissitudes of life. She suddenly felt ashamed. In fact, the priest had been helping them all the time, and even sacrificed his life force to bless them. , and always repulsed him. Maybe she's doing it wrong too
Shame is shame, but what should be asked is still to be asked clearly. Sand Wolf clenched his hands and threw out the second question: "Women can also hunt. Master Meng teaches men, but not women. Women listen to you. Spin the thread." , cook, take care of children, why?"
The third question: "Child, born to a woman, the child takes the father's surname, why?"
Duo Fei pouted, the questions Sand Wolf asked were simply ridiculous, women don't take their father's surname, who should they take? Women don't cook and make clothes, do they want men to do it
Sand Wolf asked three fundamental questions about the Awu people and was aggressive towards the priests, causing confusion among the Awu people.
The old witch yelled at Sand Wolf, telling her to shut up.
Sand Wolf was not as polite to the old witch as he was to Yan Mo, so he gave the old witch a look and cursed: "The one who snatches the child is not dead, you shut up!"
The old witch was so angry that his body trembled. Since everyone started to learn the language from the priest, the vocabulary that everyone can use in daily life has increased a lot, especially the words of swearing are the fastest to learn. The priest didn't say anything, but the leader and scolding people have no taboos.
Sand Wolf's attitude towards the old witch did not surprise Yan Mo. After Sand Wolf impressed him, he also inquired about her. Sand Wolf is said to be the woman with the most children and the longest life of the Awu tribe, but most of her children were taken by the old witches as sacrifices to Heaven and Earth or the Nine Winds, and some were even eaten by... The old witch who was respected by everyone in the Wu nationality did not dare to rely on her elders in front of her, and it was not easy to reprimand her when she scolded her.
From this point of view, the status of Awu women may indeed be a little higher than that of men, which is almost the patriarch, clan witch, woman, man, child, and old man, in this order.
At present, Sand Wolf has only one child, and he takes classes with him. He is not smart, but he is very courageous and aggressive. He dared to fight with children a few years older than him when he was only five or six years old.
Yan Mo understood her feelings, if Dudu was taken away as a sacrifice, he would probably dissect the person who took his child alive for a hundred years!
So he didn't stop and reprimand her for being disrespectful to the old witch, but he only drew her attention back after seeing her and the old witch looking like they were about to fight.
"Only these three questions?"
Sand Wolf immediately regained his attention, "Yes, my lord."
Yan Mo laughed, it was rare that he could call him an adult.
"Then, let me explain your questions one by one. First of all, regarding the issue of children following their father's surname, I think you and some tribe members may have misunderstood. There is no rule issued by the tribe that requires children to follow their father's surname. For example, Sa Isn't Yu just following his mother Sa Yun's surname?"
Sayun said naively: "Actually, I am my child's surname."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly became much more relaxed.
"My lord, let the child take the mother's surname!" Sand Wolf said immediately.
Oh, this is a smart woman, Yan Mo smiled. She may not understand the long-term impact and consequences of children following the father's surname, but she is keen enough for her to discover what is most beneficial to a woman.
So does this rule need to be promulgated
But once the child follows the mother's surname, will men have to adopt the form of "marrying" in the future? Is the inheritance of the family also handed over to women
If patriarchal rights are not respected, do we have to respect matriarchal rights
In the distance, Yuan Zhan and several warriors walked quickly, is there something wrong? Or did this person come here specially after hearing the news? Yan Mo waved to Yuan Zhan with a cold face, indicating that he is fine here.
Yuan Zhan did not stop, but walked faster.
Someone discovered Yuan Zhan, and soon the Awu people saluted Yuan Zhan and gave way.
Yan Mo was a little jealous, these people seemed to be more afraid of Yuan Zhan than him. Should he be taller and colder
Forget it, in order to reduce the value of scum, he thought it would be a problem to be cold.
Yuan Zhan walked to Yan Mo's side, paying attention not to touch him, but stood beside him as if supporting him.
And the appearance of Yuan Zhan did make everyone a lot more honest, and even Sand Wolf turned pale. The priest will not kill her, what about the leader
Yan Mo didn't let Yuan Zhan leave, it's better for the other party to listen to what he said.
"It doesn't matter if you take your mother's surname or your father's surname. What the ancestor god wants us to remember is that we are all the people of the Jiuyuan tribe, and Jiuyuan is our first surname. For example, I am Jiuyuan Yan Mo, and you are the Sand Wolf of Nine Plains." Yan Mo took the opportunity to deepen everyone's sense of belonging to the tribe, pull them out of the small circle of tribe and family, and let them start to have the concept of "country".
"Which name you want your children to have can be discussed between the husband and wife. If there are many children, I don't think this is a problem. The tribe will not make strict rules. Can you accept this?" As for the issue of inheritance, we will wait for the tribe's private property in the future It is better to explain and instill them with examples slowly.
The sand wolf and the tribe looked at each other, one of them nodded, and everyone nodded.
Yan Mo raised two fingers, "Let's talk about the second question, why don't I let the warrior Meng also teach women how to hunt, but only let women spin linen, weave, make food and take care of children? Sand wolf, do you think the tribe is like this? Your decision is unfair and makes you feel that men and women are not equal?"
Sand Wolf hit the key words, "Equality? Status?"
"Yes, equality and status." Yan Mo patiently explained to her, not only explaining the content of these explanations to her, but also to other Awu people.
"Equality, just like what you ask, what men do, women have to do, and vice versa. But, have you ever thought that a man like Ozawa can lift a stone weighing hundreds of catties at a time, but what about women? ? I asked Daze and the others to move the stones, so is that woman going too?"
Many Awu women are shaking their heads.
"Similarly, when a woman is pregnant and has a child, all the people who fall will take care of her, and she will not be asked to do heavy work during pregnancy and after giving birth. So at this time, for the sake of equality, should women also be allowed to go out to do work?"
Sand Wolf pursed his lips, and then said unfairly: "Men can't give birth, it's not..."
"Isn't it fair? So equality sometimes doesn't mean fairness." Yan Mo left time for everyone to understand this sentence.
Duofei's face changed slightly. Why did the little priest say something different from the education she had received since she was a child? Whether it's her father, the priest, or her teacher, everyone will only tell her what a woman or princess should do, but not why.
Yan Mo paid attention to everyone's expressions, and continued: "Sand Wolf, I understand your thoughts and grievances, but the things I arrange for everyone to do are allocated according to everyone's strengths, not because you are a woman. Something. Sand Wolf, you are strong, and you will be a good fighter after training, but not all women are like you. It is unfair to women that I let women train and hunt with men."
Yan Mo paused at this point, "But you also reminded me that the people of Jiuyuan tribe are naturally different from other tribes, our women are also strong, even if everyone can't become a warrior, they must have the ability to protect themselves. Starting tomorrow, I will ask Wu Chen to teach everyone how to protect themselves and how to exercise their bodies correctly, and I hope there will be a few female warriors in the tribe."
The faces of the women of the Awu tribe suddenly glowed. The priest said that they are different from the women of other tribes, they are also strong!
Sand Wolf also clenched his fists excitedly, she was wrong, the priest is different from the old witch, completely different!
Duo Fei lowered her head slowly, are women strong? Then why did her father always want a son
Yan Mo raised three fingers, "The third question, why do women have sex with men? I think everyone has misunderstood this point. The rules do not require women to have sex with men, just like the child's last name. Looking at individuals, it makes no difference who lives in whose house."
Sand Wolf thought for a while, and hesitantly forced out four words: "Rules, not good."
Yan Mo asked gently: "What's wrong?"
"Fewer women, one man, not enough, not enough to eat." As soon as Sand Wolf said this, many Awu people showed agreeing expressions on their faces, but they dared not say it out loud like Sand Wolf.
Yuan Zhan also took a special look at Yan Mo. In fact, he also has the same problem. Up to now, he is still very vague about the concept of private ownership advocated by Mo, and he doesn't quite understand its meaning and benefits, although Mo has explained it to him.
Yan Mo understood what Sand Wolf meant, "You mean that the tribe will implement private ownership in the future, and the family will be the unit. If there is only one man in the family, it will be difficult to support the family, but if there are more men, the family will be able to live happily. Well, is that so?"
Sand Wolf nodded vigorously.
Yan Mo glanced at the other Awu people, apparently everyone had the same idea as Sand Wolf, and this was the real reason why most women were willing to polyandry just now.
Primitives may be simple-minded, but they are not stupid. After understanding the rules, out of survival needs, they first discovered the disadvantages to them after the rules were implemented.
"I had the same thoughts as you before." Yan Mo first agreed with everyone's thoughts, and then said: "But the ancestor god told me that such thoughts are wrong."
All the Awu people looked at him together, why did the ancestor god say it was wrong? Doesn't the ancestor god want everyone to be full
Yan Mo tried to explain to them in the simplest and easy-to-understand language: "How many men can a woman live with at most? Five, six? Five or six adult men can go out together to hunt wild animals, but if they encounter herds , What should I do if I encounter a powerful beast?"
"And others..." Ye Xing subconsciously answered.
Yan Mo smiled and nodded, "Yes, for the sake of safety and to obtain more food, people must be together, so tribes appeared. Whether it is polyandry or polygamy, it is all because of the harsh living environment and in order to seek a better life. Great chances of survival. But if your tribe can feed and clothe everyone, and a woman can support herself without having to hunt, does she need a lot of men?"
Sand Wolf was silent with the women, including Duofei, they were all learning to think and understand more.
"Furthermore, if the tribe allows polyandry when there are few women, will polygamy be allowed in the future when there are more women? You may wish to ask yourself, after we can all eat and clothe, are you really willing to have sex with others? man or woman to share her husband or wife?"
Yuan Zhan was the first to think, I don't want to! He automatically assumed the role of wife to his lord priest. The thought of his secret being forced to be distributed to other men or women makes him want to kill!
And the expressions of Awu men and women are also gradually changing, yes, who is really willing to share their man or woman with others? It's not all forced by life! Although I really want to have more husbands or wives, will my husbands or wives be willing
Duo Fei is more intuitive, his father has so many women, and she has seen enough of those women's grievances, scheming, and faces! If a tribe only allowed monogamy, wouldn't their offspring be happier? Wouldn't it be happier being a wife too
Yan Mo saw that the fire was about the same, and finally added a handful of firewood: "Why does the tribe exist? Why did the leader and I issue tribal rules? It's just because the Jiuyuan tribe is different from other tribes. Our system allows everyone to support themselves, and It is not dependent on others. In the Jiuyuan tribe, under the care of the ancestor gods, our women can become warriors, our men can weave and plow the fields, and the elderly and children can do what they can, including the disabled. Jiuyuan There are no useless people in the tribe! There are no poor people who need others to feed themselves! Each of us can feed ourselves, and we must be strong! Or mind or body!"
Yuan Zhan waved his fist vigorously, and said in a low voice with affirmation: "There are no poor people in the tribe! The people of the Jiuyuan tribe don't need pity from others! Every one of us is a strong man! Every one of us is a warrior! No matter men, women, old or young !"
"Aww! The strong! We are the strong! We are the people of Nine Elements!"
