After the night rain, the sky actually cleared up, revealing the long-lost stars. Bing Zhixie recalled the situation just now, shook his head and laughed, the customs of the Qianling tribe were really unbearable. He shot out the light array with one hand, and the moonlight dragon appeared under the starry sky at night.
A shimmering hazy halo burst out of the formation.
"Leave." Bing Zhixie teleported and landed on the metallic silver back of the Moonlight Dragon. Her petite body sank slightly under the weight of her master, and she flapped her wings vigorously.
After the new rain, there was silence at night, and the wild beasts in the forest seemed too lazy to move. There was no sound for a while. It was really lonely and scary to be alone here.
Suddenly, a cold cat cry came from the forest in the mountains. The sound was not loud, and Bing Zhixie should not have been able to hear it originally, but he could hear it clearly.
There was another cat cry, the sound was so cold that it made people feel chilled in their hearts. Bing Zhixie shuddered in her heart and looked down. The silver moonlight dragon heard this familiar cat cry and didn't wait for its owner.
At his command, he leaned over and flew above the treetops.
Bing Zhixie opened his all-seeing eye and saw a kitten disappearing at the end of his sight in the woods. It seemed to be able to sense the range of Bing Zhixie's vision. When he chased after it, the cat was nowhere to be found. Bing Zhixie
Xie's brows furrowed. What was the purpose of this little black cat? Why did it appear again and again to attract his attention? Thinking of the fact that the pregnant woman Luo Lan was discovered because of the guidance of this cat, could it be guiding her?
What?
Just as he was about to leave, the little black cat appeared, and the condition of the pregnant woman from the Qianling tribe was the same as that of Luo Lan... Bing Zhixie frowned, and the Moonlight Dragon spit out dark blue Heyan and made an unpleasant sound, feeling that he was being beaten.
Only a tiny creature played.
In fact, Bing Zhixie was also very unhappy. He felt like he was being led by a kitten. From the pregnant woman Luo Lan to the wooden building in the forest, and then to the Qianling tribe, the direction of his actions was always being led by the little black cat. Of course, he was led by the little black cat.
Bing Zhixie is not a narrow-minded person. He will not compete with a cat. He thinks more about the cat's purpose.
Bing Zhixie looked in the direction of the Qianling tribe. This mysterious female tribe made him more suspicious. He thought about it and flew back to the direction of the tribe.
Before dawn the next day, the people of the tribe had already begun to get busy. Some people began to deal with the bodies of yesterday's victims. They built a wooden tower in the center of the open space in the tribe and placed the bodies around it. At dawn,
The clan grandmothers came out of the cave, and they seemed to be preparing for the burial ceremony. Bing Zhixie squatted on the cliff above the waterfall and looked at the scene below, thinking that the Qianling clan members were going to cremate the victims. Unexpectedly, they did not.
Cremation in the forest was not a very wise choice. The Qianling people lit the wooden pagoda on fire, but the surrounding area was separated by sand. Until the wooden pagoda burned to ashes, the surrounding corpses were roasted to a scorched yellow color.
Soon, the smell of meat attracted many flying dragons. These flying dragons began to peck at the corpses of the dead on the ground, while the people around them smeared their faces and bodies with blood and paint, and danced a ritual dance.
All this seemed to be going smoothly and normally. In the afternoon, the people of the Qianling tribe were doing their own things in an orderly manner. They were hunting and picking. There were several fields by the waterfall, and some people were planting seeds in them.
Rice seedlings. Some people in the village are raising chickens, ducks, pigs and cows, and some are raising sheep. The two chained beasts became the largest labor force in the village. They were carried from the distant valley on their backs.
There is a large amount of ore that can be smelted, and some thick logs will be carried back to repair and strengthen the outer walls of the stockade that were damaged by wild beasts at night.
In the evening, they held another ceremony.
This ceremony was performed with pregnant women as the main body. Eight pregnant women with big bellies controlled by Huan Xue Vine were pushed to the center of the village. The clan grandmother came out of the cave, held the sky in her hands, knelt down and murmured to herself. Then she took the hands of the clansmen.
He took a small wooden bottle. He uncorked the bottle and put it in front of the noses of the pregnant women for a few seconds. Then everyone gathered around and started singing.
The singing continued for a long time, and the ceremony lasted for a long time. Until the moon came out in the evening, the motionless pregnant women began to make physical movements. Gradually, the parasitic blood vines on their bodies began to wither, and their consciousness returned to normal. Recovery of consciousness
The pregnant women made sounds of pain and were sitting on the ground as if they were about to give birth. At this time, the elderly people in the tribe came forward with basins to deliver the babies, while the powerful female warriors in their prime formed three circles inside and outside.
, stepping and stamping their feet in unison to cheer for the pregnant women giving birth.
The delivery lasted for more than half an hour. When each child was born, the people of the Qianling tribe let out loud howls. When the child was stillborn, the tribesmen let out sad howls.
In this way, eight pregnant women gave birth to nine children, four of which were stillborn and were placed aside. The remaining people rejoiced around the surviving children, who were held high in the hands of the elders of the tribe.
, bow down and thank God.
Bing Zhixie stared at the situation below and looked over the whole process. He didn't think there was anything abnormal, except that the stillbirth rate was a bit high. However, in such a natural environment, with harsh conditions, it may be normal for more fetal deaths to occur.
.
The delivery ceremony was over, and the third ceremony was held immediately afterwards. Bingzhixie thought that they had quite a lot of ceremonies, so the people from the Qianling tribe pushed three young women with slightly bulging bellies up and planted the seeds on them.
A new raccoon blood vine was planted. Seeing this, Bing Zhixie finally noticed something strange. Not all pregnant women in the Qianling tribe were planted with raccoon blood vine. Among them, one of them had a very big belly.
The woman who was about to give birth was not parasitized by raccoon bloodvine. This shows that it is not a universal rule for the Qianling tribe to parasitize raccoon bloodvine on pregnant women, but they do so selectively. But is there any meaning in this?
The ceremony continued very late, around ten o'clock in the evening, before everyone returned to the cave to rest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bing Zhixie leaned on a wild Pegasus, stroking its mane, thinking for a while but still couldn't figure it out. He stretched out his body and jumped down the cliff.
Fly away.
Falling into the Qianling tribe's village, the two dull-witted cave beasts sensed the different temperature and heat source in front of them, opened their big toad-like mouths, and let out a low cry like a pigeon. This quickly alarmed the people.
Several dogs who were tied up inside the village were about to bark when the silver moonlight dragon passed over the village, frightening them so much that they lay on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.
Bing Zhixie asked the Moonlight Dragon to guard outside, bathed in the rare moonlight, and dived towards the entrance of the belly cave of the Qianling tribe. When they arrived outside the belly cave in front of the mountain, there were people guarding the cave. There was a stone chamber on the left side of the cave.
.Dead babies delivered in the evening are placed here.
Bing Zhixie walked silently to the stone chamber. The stone chamber was not big, and there was a door with a bolt but no lock. He gently opened the bolt, and a light source came on in his hand and he shone forward. Sure enough, he saw four dead babies being blanketed.
A piece of animal skin was wrapped and placed on a stone bed made of rough stone. Curious, he took a closer look and found that it was an ordinary dead baby. The body had been washed clean, but the body was a little green and black.
Bing Zhixie touched his nose and wondered if these babies were poisoned? He didn't know that it was a similar situation for babies to die due to lack of oxygen. But he thought it was not poisoning. At least the other five babies were born fine, right?
Not seeing the trick, Bing Zhixie was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and took another look: "Female. Are they all baby girls?" The four babies who died on the stone bed were all baby girls. He recalled that eight pregnant women gave birth in the evening.
At that time, it seemed that all the children born were girls.
Bing Zhixie's heart was moved: "Could it be that all the children born in this tribe are women?" He smiled unconsciously: "This is a bit interesting. I have never heard of any ethnic group that only gives birth to girls. There must be something in this
has a problem."
He closed the door and came out, and happened to meet two female warriors coming out of the cave. They were startled when they saw Bing Zhixie.
"..."
Bing Zhixie rushed up and covered their mouths: "Shh, don't shout, I don't mean any harm."
The two female warriors were not frightened. Instead, they smiled in their eyes and reached out to touch Bing Zhixie's body. Bing Zhixie was frightened and quickly backed away: "Hey, you guys..."
The two female warriors were mumbling something, looking very happy, and kept approaching him, reaching out to catch him. Bing Zhixie realized that the two people could not understand what she said, and thought of the short-term
The woman with hair quickly said: "Kun, Kun~!"
The two of them were unhappy because they couldn't catch the man in front of them, and they were even more unhappy when they heard him calling his name "Kun". One by one, they tore open their clothes, exposed their bodies, and gestured to their bodies, as if
Showing that he was better than Kun made Bing Zhixie quickly come to them.
Bing Zhixie laughed dryly, and was even more embarrassed when she saw them spreading their legs and sticking out their buttocks. Finally, the people in the cave heard the noise outside, and Kun, a very prestigious female warrior of the Qianling tribe, came out to check. These two desperately wanted to fight with Bing
When the naive female warrior saw Kun coming out, she immediately stopped her exaggerated movements and became serious.
Kun scolded a few words, and when he saw Bing Zhixie, he looked puzzled: "You left, why are you here again?"
Bing Zhixie said: "Can you find a place to talk? I have some questions and I want you to answer them for me."
Kun was very unhappy and said: "You ran away yesterday, which made me very angry. In my tribe, men are not qualified to ask questions to women. All men have to do is obey. It is a big sin for you not to obey."
Bing Zhixie was speechless, unable to understand such a tribe where women were extremely superior to men.
Kun said a few words to the two disheveled female warriors, who immediately went back to the cave. Kun said to Bing Zhixie: "Guowei, you are a man from the outside tribe who does not understand the rules. You saved Cha again.
I can answer your questions." She looked around and then said, "Let's go to the water and talk."
There is a small stream not far in front of the Qianling Tribe's village, which flows out from under the waterfall. When he came to the stream, Bing Zhixie didn't wait to find a place to sit down, and slowed down his speech and asked directly: "You Qianling Tribe gave birth to a baby?"
Are all the babies girls?”
Kun was unhappy again: "You can't ask me questions directly. In my tribe, the status of men is only one level higher than that of beasts. So you have to be very respectful to me."
Bingzhixie smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not from your tribe."
"You are. Since yesterday, you have become an item of our Qianling tribe. This is what our clan grandma agreed to. You have to know that you becoming an item of my tribe are different from other men. You are a member of our tribe."
Ya'."
"'Zuya'? What is it?" Bing Zhixie heard a strange term.
"It's just...it's just..." Kun didn't know how to explain this word, so he thought for a long time and said, "He's just a different man."
Bing Zhixie asked: "Then how should I ask you questions now?"
Kun thought about it again and looked at Bing Zhixie. After a while, she softened her tone and said, "You... just ask."
Bing Zhixie suddenly became gentle when she heard her tone, and all the hairs on his body stood up. Especially when she kept staring at her eyes, he felt uncomfortable all over. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and asked, "It's still the same as before.
Question. Are all the babies born to the Qianling tribe girls?"
"Yes."
Bingzhixie said: "That's strange. Where do the men from the tribe come from?"
"Man, I captured you." Kun said, "I am very powerful. I often take my tribe to far away places to fight with other tribes. After defeating the enemy, I will capture their men and make them our companions."
slave."
Bing Zhixie was very surprised: "All the men in your tribe were captured from other places?"
"Does it surprise you...?" Kun said in Pinji's common language.
Bingzhixie asked curiously: "Is it true that no male baby has ever been born in your tribe?"
"No." Kun said: "My tribe has lived here for a long, long time, and every woman gives birth to a woman. Why give birth to men? What you ask is very strange, shouldn't women give birth to women?"
Bing Zhixie asked: "Then where do you think men come from?"
"Isn't he born from a man?"
"Uh..." Bing Zhixie said awkwardly: "Have you ever seen a man give birth to a man?"
Kun shook his head and thought carefully: "Ah, I understand. It was born by a woman. I saw a conflict in another tribe. By the way, I was still young at that time. After I came back, my mother asked my grandma,
Grandma said that’s because our Qianling tribe is different.”
"It's different? Why is it different?"
Kun was puzzled: "It's different, it's different. We only give birth to women, it's just different."
"I mean..." Bing Zhixie said, "Have you ever thought about why you only have girls?"
Kun still didn't understand: "Because we are different."
Bing Zhixie seemed unable to explain this logical problem to her, so she had to ask again: "Why do you plant raccoon blood vines on pregnant women?"
