"...The prohibition of young women from giving birth in the law is for the good of the tribe, and for the good of you." Zhengmao held up the dead baby to the surrounding crowd, and said coldly: "In the future, all half-parents or half-parents Brothers and sisters cannot be together, monogamous marriages are encouraged in the tribe, and those who are married can live in a small cave, or live in a big cave..."
The appearance of deformed babies undoubtedly gave the ignorant people in the tribe a hard time. Class, at night, the blue and purple of the double-faced baby directly shines on the hearts of the people. Gao Ming sees the dignified expressions on the faces of the tribesmen, and knows that no one will commit the crime again without torture and cruel methods. No one wants to let their children come out. Like a monster.
Yuan Zhen was cremated that night, and there was no spare space in the cave due to the hot weather, so she would not be at ease if it was placed outside the cave. After removing the wooden frame, the man Yuan Zhen lit the fire himself. Yuan Amu and Yuan Meng stood by the fire and cried sadly. When the residual temperature dissipated, Gao Ming stuffed the small clay pot into Yuan Meng's hands, Yuan Meng understood, and grabbed a few handfuls of ashes in the warm ashes as a memory.
It was already ten o'clock after packing up. Gao Ming Bujia and others passed by the small cave where Tata lived when they went back to the mountain. As soon as Gao Ming turned his head, he saw Tata standing in the crack of the door watching them.
"Xiaobao pay more attention to Tata tomorrow." Gao Ming felt that there was something wrong with Tata's expression.
Wen Xiaobao nodded and was speechless for a moment. When Ah Da who was following them heard it, his face suddenly became serious. He was afraid that the child in Tata's stomach would become the same monster as today...
When the two teams separated on the mountainside, Ah Da hesitated all the way to the end. He didn't ask, because he was sorry for Tata and the tribe. He knew that even if he didn't say Xiaobao was smart, he would take good care of Tata.
There was a fragrance in the cave. Qi came back after delivering Yuanzhen in the afternoon. Xiaohe also came back to help cook and take care of the children. When Linzi entered the cave and saw the two sons, he was a little happy. Although the younger son was weaker But normal is fine, I can't help but think of Yuan Zhen and her child, and my heart softens, and I hug Xiao Le in my arms like a baby.
The meal was dull, and I fell asleep after eating and washing. Early the next morning, after dinner, when it was time to go to work, to go to work, to go hunting, Wen Xiaobao took Xiaohe down the mountain for a free clinic, and closed the cave. Gao Ming wants to teach the children.
I'm afraid that the children haven't digested what happened yesterday. Gao Ming intends to focus on the disadvantages of giving birth to close relatives and having children at a young age. There are men and women in the school, and love will be known within a few years. At this time, hurry up and publicize it. to prevent tragedies from happening.
The children listened very carefully this morning, and Gao Ming did not deliberately exaggerate. In fact, some close relatives are lucky enough to have children and the children will be fine, but most of them will have more or less minor problems.
According to the law of the tribe, Xiaohe has already grown up. He goes out hunting with experienced hunters every two days. Today is just a day off, so he goes down the mountain with Qi to take care of the children. The women in the square were basking in the sun and doing their work, weaving cloth, weaving things, and some women followed the patrolling hunters to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. Sitting on a big rock, Xiao He is holding pieces of leather in his hands and thinking about objects. Xiao An has a character like a little tiger. He can walk and run without being hugged. He rushed to Xiao He's legs and watched the needle in Xiao He's hand flipping. He said curiously: "Brother Xiaohe, what are you doing?"
"I'm researching cloth shoes. Brother Xiaoming said that cloth shoes absorb sweat and are more comfortable to walk on than straw sandals." Xiaohe answered seriously, not at all perfunctory because Xiaoan was young, so Xiaoan and Xiaole especially like to ask questions. Xiaohe is not annoyed by Xiaohe's question, as long as he knows what he knows, he will answer patiently.
Xiao An nodded like a little adult, covered his mouth with his plump hand, giggled and said, "Brother Xiaohe must have been made by a brother Dashi!"
Xiao Le, who was quiet beside him, added, "Brother Xiaohe likes Dashi Brother's."
Xiaohe's face turned red after a while, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Be good, you two, I will give you red fruit at noon."
"Ice." Xiaole said before Xiaoan. . When Xiaohe heard this, his big round eyes rolled around. It was still his younger brother who was smart, and the frozen fruit was very good.
Xiao He thought for a while, and knew that Xiao Le's temperament was not like Xiao An's, so he nodded and said, "I can only eat a small piece."
Xiao Le smiled and nodded in agreement, and Xiao An's head beside him nodded like a machine gun.
Fold the shredded leather and coarse cloth, and cut them into sizes according to the shape of the feet. Xiaohe starts to pack the insoles densely with needles and threads. Here Xiaohe routinely checked several pregnant women, three of them still have more than a month to give birth, four will wait for the snow season, and the remaining two will wait for the spring of next year, but their physical fitness and nutrition can keep up. There is no big problem, and I went to a few big holes. Ah Gun's body has been a little hot recently. Xiaobao prescribed some medicinal herbs for Ah Gun, and told him to eat lightly recently. The stomach digestion function is getting older. Not good, it is better to eat lightly when it is heated.
Ah Gun Amu trusts Xiao Bao very much, Xiao Bao just nods at what she says, and now the life is unimaginable before, Ah Gun's child will be born soon, and she still has to take care of her grandson! It is natural to take good care of your body.
There are also a few hunters who are elderly and have old diseases. The acupuncture and cupping cupping for acupuncture and moxibustion are all old injuries that need to be maintained for a long time, which is not a big problem. Finally arrived at Tata's small cave, the iron door was closed, Wen Xiaobao knocked twice, Tata opened the door with a pale face with a big belly. The taste in the cave is not good, there is a window but Tata does not open the window, the food is messed up on the table, and there is a wooden basin in the corner for convenience. Tata is thin, with a sharp chin and pale face. Wen Xiaobao frowned when he saw the environment in the cave. The place was clean when Sister Xiaohua was there. It seems that someone needs to come and take care of it. After all, Tata is not in good health when she is pregnant with a child.
"I'm not going to die like Yuanzhen?" Tata sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her big belly, her eyes flashed with fear, and she said in a high-pitched voice, "I don't want to die, I don't want to give birth to a monster!" On a towering belly.
Wen Xiaobao quickly stopped him, his face turned a little cold, he could understand Tata's difficulty, and the sympathy in his heart was tossed because of Tata's strange temper.
Yuanzhen and Tata are similar in age, but their personalities are very different. Yuan Zhen used to belong to the Toutou Cave family. Although she was often hungry, her mother, Yuan Meng, and the hunters in the cave took good care of her. She developed a kind and innocent personality and was full of hope for life. Tata was born before Bujia. In the cave, Ah Ling eats people. In the cave, seniority is used to bully the young. Tata was raped by the hunter when she was less than eleven years old. Her mother couldn't protect her. She traded her body and followed several hunters in the cave. Later, her mother was thrown out to freeze to death and eaten. At that time, Tata's heart began to twist. Later, when I arrived in the tribe, there was no shortage of food and clothing, but Tata didn't feel safe. After knowing that there was no sixteen and she couldn't live with men, she felt even more uneasy. She tried to seduce several hunters, but the other hunters rejected her. That day She was crying by the river, and Ah Da, who came back from hunting, saw that she was pitiful.
Tata didn't pay much attention to the law. She felt that it was better than any law to be full and warm, and it was okay to be pregnant, but she didn't expect Zhengmao to beat Ah Da. She was afraid that Ah Da would anger her. She once thought about killing the child, but she didn't do it because she was afraid that she would die too.
Pregnant people have weird tempers, and Tata is on the edge of it. Yesterday, Yuan Zhen's death and the deformed child were the fuse. The negative emotions of fear and anxiety accumulated in these days all exploded in front of Xiaobao.
Seeing Tata's pale face crying, Wen Xiaobao's heart softened immediately, so he could only comfort him in a soft voice: "Don't be impulsive, just listen to me obediently, and you will be fine. When you give birth, you will be with Ah Da. Ah Da is also responsible for getting married, and the future will definitely be better."
"Marriage?" Tata raised her face, with tears all over her face, and said in disbelief: "Just live with Ah Da alone? I don't want it! Only with one person I can't get enough to eat! I don't want it!"
Wen Xiaobao saw that Tata's mood lighted up again, but the topic changed and he said, "It's fine if you don't get married. In short, take good care of your body first, and give birth safely. In the future, what do you want? It doesn't matter how you live, whether you go to school or live with hunters, it's up to you."
Finally calmed down by some words, Wen Xiaobao felt that Tata was a little nervous, and the hygiene in the small cave was not good, so he took Tata's pulse, but the pulse was unstable, so he couldn't show his traces in front of Tata, so he nodded and said: "Rest more every day, don't think too much that you will be safe and fine, go to the sun in the afternoon when the sun is good, go for a walk and chat with Xiaohua and the others, don't nest in the cave alone, open the windows for more ventilation..."
Tata's most important thing What's more, she still suffers from mental illness, stagnation in her heart, her weak body can make up for it, and there are still three months before the due date of delivery, but she is depressed and always thinking too much.
Those who stayed in the tribe at noon ate a big pot of rice in the square. Tata was persuaded by Xiaobao to come out to activities and chat with everyone at this moment, but after a while, she sat in the shade of a tree and was in a daze. After eating, Xiaohe holds the sewn soles in his precious hands. There are four layers in total. The innermost layer is leather, two layers of coarse cloth, and the last sole is thick leather. The stitches were dense and the soles were thick. Gao Ming was shocked when he saw it, and he praised Xiaohe that this was the power of love, making Xiaohe's face flush with embarrassment.
Gao Ming also noticed that Xiao He's fingers were red and some had needle holes. He weighed the thick sole of the shoe in his hand and knew how much Xiao He had suffered. The leather is rare, let alone so many layers. At that moment, he slapped his head and remembered that there was a thimble. His craftsmanship is rough and modern, he just sews a sock or something. If he didn't need a thimble, he would naturally forget it. Now seeing Xiaohe like this, he suddenly remembered it.
Within a few minutes, he made a small basket of thimbles, and when he came back after eating, he brought a small basket of thimbles in his hand. He taught Xiaohe how to use them, and distributed them to the female workers. It was much easier to get started.
In the afternoon, Gao Ming followed Xiao He to study the cloth shoes. Xiao He got the soles of the shoes.
In the blink of an eye, October arrived, and new lives were added to the tribe one after another, and a small group of men and women also ushered in. The boys became adults with an iron knife, and the girls, Gao Ming, made a string of pendant necklaces for each of them with crystals. It is very beautiful under the light, like a crystal or a diamond. Older women came to Gao Ming one after another, and when they were satisfied with food and clothing, the women's natural beauty-loving nature was revealed.
Except for the underage girls, almost all the women in the tribe have a crystal necklace, white, pink, red, and blue... In the middle of the
night, Gao Ming is entangled with Bujia and the two are very hot, and the cave can hear low noises from various bedrooms intermittently. There was a low moan, and suddenly there was a violent knocking sound outside the hole.
Gao Ming, who was about to reach the top, was confused, and it took him a few seconds to realize that there was a knock on the door, and Bujia also shot out after a tight squeeze. The two hurriedly wiped it with leather, put on their clothes and lit the oil lamp, and the sound of dressing and talking was intermittently heard from the other bedrooms in the cave.
Bu Jia opened the iron gate, Ah Da Neng Ya looked anxious outside the iron fence, Ah Dao: "Tata is about to give birth!"
