Jin Mang originally thought that even if there were other chestnut trees on the mountain, the number would not be too many. A dozen or so would be good.

Unexpectedly, so many of them stayed here for two days before digging all the chestnuts in half of the mountain.

It was also at this moment that they realized belatedly that the trees on the mountain... seemed to be chestnut trees?

Looking at the chestnuts that were almost full of grain trucks, everyone looked at each other and hesitated.

By the way...should they dig up the chestnuts on the other side of the mountain?

"But the grain truck can't hold so much..." one of Jin Mang's uncles said.

"What's this?" Qing Feng said without thinking: "It's better to carry it on your back than to go hungry."

When everyone thinks about it, it is true.

"I don't know if the cannibal tribe has left." The person who muttered this was Lan Ying, Qing Yan's eldest daughter and Qing Kui's mother-in-law.

"Regardless of whether they left or not, are we still afraid of them?" Qingkui's father Chiyun curled his lips and asked.

Lan Ying is 28 years old this year, but she only gave birth to one child, Qing Kui, who is the same age as Jin Mang. Because Chi Yun is 6 years younger than her, she will not give birth until he grows up and can help Lan Ying raise the child.

Fertility.

When it comes to childbirth, the humans in Anze...or all creatures are very strange. Because of the existence of the splitting season, they are used to giving birth after the splitting season, which results in the age difference between brothers and sisters being 3.

multiple.

Therefore, Jin Mang feels that a family composed of brothers and sisters like Anze is really troublesome. Not only is it impossible for everyone to have the same number of sons and daughters, but the age difference is also a very troublesome problem. Lan Ying and Chi Yun are six years apart.

The age has already been calculated, let’s not talk about anyone else, just Lan Duo Lanyu and their elder brother.

The sisters are 6 years old this year, and their eldest brother Lancao is only 18 years old this year. Modern people pay attention to the best age for childbirth, but even so, older mothers can still be seen everywhere, and Anze is even less particular about it.

My grandma was almost fifty when she gave birth to her last child. My aunt’s youngest child was born when she was 31 years old. But that was because her two subsequent children died in infancy and she was injured later, so she didn’t have another child.

Give birth. And the second aunt is now 39 years old. According to Qingsui, she will continue to give birth.

In other words, if Lan Duo Lan Yu and Lan Cao form a family, they will have to stop having children at least around the age of 38, because Lan Cao will be 50 years old by then and his strength will start to decline. Even if you are cautious,

Including the time when their children are growing up, they should stop having children before the age of 30.

Because of this incident, Qingsui secretly speculated that Lan Duo Lan Yu would not choose to form a family with Lan Cao in the future. After all, although Lan Cao's strength was good, it was not particularly strong, at least not enough to become the main combat force of the tribe.

, and his younger brothers looked no worse than him.

When the Youying tribe moved to the other side of the mountain, they found that the cannibal tribe had left, and there were still extinguished fires and some bones that made people's hair stand on end at the foot of the mountain.

Lan He stepped forward and fiddled with it, then calculated and said: "They should have captured four orphans, two of whom were eight or nine years old, and two who were three or four years old. They had all eaten the meat in one meal, and there was no trace left.

"

Jin Mang recalled the scene he saw at the beginning, frowned and said: "There are many people in that tribe, there should be no less than 15."

"15 people?" Lan He sneered.

Jin Mang blinked, is there any problem?

Qingyan asked her: "Do you have many children?"

child?

Jin Mang thought for a while and said hesitantly: "It seems that there are no children?"

Lan He's face suddenly turned ugly.

Qingyan sighed and said: "I'm afraid that's not a normal tribe, but a temporary tribe composed of single men."

Jin Mang was confused.

It was Qingsui who explained to Jin Mang in private: "Generally speaking, when the number of tribes reaches a certain size, or the immediate elders above them pass away, they often face branching situations. We have the Ying tribe, and it is also under the relationship between me and your father.

A branch that was branched off after my grandfather and grandma passed away."

After a pause, "Generally speaking, the tribe is composed like our Ying tribe now. Everyone is the descendant of your grandma and grandpa. If your grandma passes away in the future, our Ying tribe will also split. No problem.

Unexpectedly, it will split into three tribes, led by your eldest aunt and second uncle, your second aunt and third uncle, and me and your father."

Jin Mang understood somewhat, "You mean, uncle and the others will become people without tribes?"

"It's not always like this." Qingsui said: "As long as we are willing, we can completely let your uncle and the others become members of the tribe. However, not everyone will be willing. If you are as old as your uncle, then

In five years, the strength will begin to decline. Although members of different families in the tribe will only come together during the split season, and the food of each family is not shared, for someone like your eldest uncle who has no children, family members will inevitably have to help share the burden.

One or two, we brothers and sisters are fine, but when it comes to the next generation and the next generation after that, more people are reluctant."

"The cannibal tribe you saw was probably weak and was eventually abandoned after the tribe split."

Jin Mang suddenly understood.

She knew that Qingsui's words were reserved. From her tone, it seemed that the brothers and sisters would be willing to accept the birth of other brothers in the future, but this was not necessarily the case.

Jin Mang could even hear the not obvious prayer in the other party's words - she was hoping that she would agree to take in those single uncles in the future.

She thought that there were probably only a few bachelors who could be taken in by their brothers and sisters. Most of them would be abandoned. And even if a few were taken in at the time, when their brothers and sisters grew old and the next generation began to become the main fighting force of the tribe,

There is no way to escape the fate of being abandoned.

How pitiful, how sad.

At this moment, Jin Mang truly sympathized with those single uncles.

These days, those fasting uncles have been giving them hard-earned food. But in the future, when they are old and have no fighting ability, these nieces, nephews, and even great-nephews and grandnieces will not be willing to support them.

This is even a normal thing. After all, like Jin Mang, the main people who raised them are their parents. How can they expect them to treat other elders equally as their parents?

Even if those elders have helped take care of them, but... in modern society, how many people will provide care for their neighbors, relatives, and elders who have helped them in their old age?

It’s not even that the younger generations are indifferent. People in modern society mainly rely on their economic ability to survive. In this regard, the gap between people will be very large. Some people earn money in a month that others cannot earn in a lifetime, so it can be huge.

Be kind.

But that's not the case in Anze. They rely on their hunting ability to survive. Even if a small number of people are outstanding, they have to raise their children and support their parents. One more elderly person may overwhelm them.
