Compared to Zhao Qian's shock, Erya was much calmer, smiled and shook his head, "This level of exotic flowers and fruits can't increase life, but my physical condition is indeed better, thank you."
Zhao Qian had a disappointed expression on his face when he heard Erya say that there was no increase in life.
But suddenly, he caught something from Erya's words and hurriedly said: "Teacher, are there really any strange flowers and fruits in this world that can increase life?"
That’s right!
Erya said that this level of exotic flowers and fruits is not good, which means that as long as the level is high enough, it is possible to increase the life span.
In this case, all he needs to do is find such a strange flower and fruit.
Erya nodded, "There should be, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I just heard it from my teacher."
Zhao Qian said firmly: "I will help you find a strange flower and fruit that can increase your life."
Erya was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a kind smile, "The teacher is very happy that you can have such a heart, but you can't get this level of exotic flowers and fruits."
Zhao Qian remained silent.
He knew clearly that Erya was telling the truth.
Let’s not talk about it far, let’s take the fire lotus we got this time as an example.
Even the strange flowers and fruits of the Fire Lotus level are guarded by a barbarian beast. This shows how terrifying the strange flowers and fruits that can increase life are and how terrifying the beast guarding them is.
However, no matter how difficult it is, he will work hard in this regard.
When Erya saw that Zhao Qian was silent, he understood what Zhao Qian was thinking, but he did not speak to persuade him.
It's not that he has a glimmer of hope, the main reason is that the exotic flowers and fruits that increase lifespan are too difficult to find, and whether there are any in the black sand desert is one thing, so he doesn't need to worry about Zhao Qian's adventure.
"Okay, you have delivered the lotus seeds, go back quickly!" Erya issued an eviction order and said to Zhao Qian: "You are not getting better either. You should work hard this winter and give birth to a child next year, so that the teacher can die in peace.
Already."
Zhao Qian, who was considering whether to go to the Wolf King again, heard Erya's words and said speechlessly on the spot: "Teacher, it's okay for the chief to talk nonsense, why are you talking nonsense?"
Erya looked serious, "Having children is the top priority of the tribe, how could I say nonsense."
In the tribal era, human life was very fragile and could die easily.
Therefore, every tribe regards having children as the most important thing.
Zhao Qian wanted to become a tribal Erya in the future, so when Erya saw that Zhao Qian was not active in giving birth to children, his expression became serious.
Zhao Qian explained: "Teacher, the relationship between me and the two of them is not what you think. We cannot have children casually."
"Even if it's not that kind of relationship, you can still have children." Erya continued: "Every winter just passes, young men and women from various tribes will gather together to find their partners."
"Those who like each other will naturally become partners, but these are the minority after all... Do you know what will happen when one party likes the other but the other does not agree?"
Zhao Qian thought of a joke often told on earth, so he said: "Knock him out with a stick and take him back directly?"
Erya smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's it."
"..."
Zhao Qian was speechless and thought to himself, this is really the case.
In fact, there are many types of human marriage systems. The most primitive is called group marriage, which is a group of men and women who are husband and wife to each other, even brothers and sisters.
But as time went by, humans discovered that children born from close relatives could not continue to have children, so the marriage system changed from endogamy to exogamy.
Men and women from their own tribe go to find men and women from another tribe.
However, the man and woman do not live together. The man is equivalent to sowing the seeds, and the children born belong to the woman. It is somewhat similar to a walking marriage.
Later, polygamy was introduced and finally monogamy was formed.
But this world is much more backward than the earth, so it is in the middle between polygamy and monogamy. It can be monogamous or polygamous.
For example, Yanshan had three wives and gave birth to more than ten children.
Zhao Qian smiled bitterly and explained: "Teacher, the method of giving birth over there is different from that in the black sand desert."
Erya asked curiously: "How do you give birth there?"
Zhao Qian thought for a while and described: "First of all, the men and women over there have to talk about their relationship first, and then wait until the relationship is over. Then the parents of both parties will meet to continue the discussion. After the negotiation is completed, both parties will have to perform a ceremony called marriage. Finally,
Only then can I have children.”
Erya nodded in understanding at first, and then asked curiously: "What if the negotiation doesn't work out? Can we knock him out and take him back?"
Teacher, pay attention to your image, otherwise your personality will collapse.
Zhao Qian complained in his heart, shook his head and said: "We are not allowed to knock people unconscious, take them away and force them to have children."
Erya frowned and said, "What should we do if the negotiation fails?"
Zhao Qian said: "If you can't negotiate, find someone else who can. But as long as you have enough money, you can basically negotiate."
Erya asked: "What is money?"
Zhao Qian hesitated and said: "It's similar to the Yuan Beast Core."
Erya understood, "We are the same in this regard. As long as there are enough Yuanbeast cores, we can go to the other side's tribe and buy people back."
Teacher, buying and selling people is also illegal!
However, Zhao Qian did not explain. He was worried that if he said too much, Erya would suspect that he was not from this world.
Erya said: "I respect the customs of your tribe, so the decision to have children is up to you, and I won't ask."
Zhao Qian quickly said gratefully: "Thank you, teacher."
Erya looked at Zhao Qian and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Zhao Qian said sincerely: "I want to take advantage of the winter to learn more from the teacher, so I don't want to go back for the time being."
However, Erya obviously didn't believe Zhao Qian's words and said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth."
Zhao Qian smiled bitterly and said: "The family next door to me is giving birth all day long. It's too embarrassing for me to be in the same cave with them, and it's also a kind of torture, so I plan to hide here with you for a few days.
"
"Okay, just hide here for a few days!"
Erya smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then reminded: "Also, don't blame the family next door... Their behavior may have affected you, but to the tribe, they are making a contribution and want to
Rewarding.”
Zhao Qian replied: "Disciple understands!"
Although the family next door tortured him a lot, he knew that in the black sand desert, the survival rate of children was the highest only when sowing seeds in winter.
Sow seeds in winter, and after ten months of pregnancy, they will give birth in summer.
There is enough food in summer, so children will not go hungry and can still thrive.
But if you are born in winter, let alone whether there is enough food, the cold of winter alone is not something a newborn child can bear.
