"Let me see, the time when girls get married here is around fourteen or fifteen years old. Look, over there is my good friend Hong. She is 16 years old and already has two children.
So, I shouldn’t have any dissatisfaction with my father choosing my husband for me. At least it allows me to have fun for a few more years, before I enter marriage at an age they think is already very old.
, when that time comes, there will be nothing to regret if you give birth to a few children for the strongest man in this ethnic group, or this tribe."
Watching this little girl talk about her future with a smile, it seems that everything is so natural.
Then Maifan would understand what normal people's lives are like in this area.
He also thought that this little girl would be as interested in the outside world as the young girls in other areas.
He really didn't expect this. The leader's little girl didn't ask a word what the outside world was like?
As for why, the little girl's subsequent expressions clearly stated her inherent impression of the outside world.
"Why should I learn about the outside world? I'm not even interested in life outside the tribe.
You know, in fact, I have been to many places with my father over the years, and I dislike them very much.
When I was young, I was very yearning for the outside world. I even heard stories about the outside areas, and I planned to go there and see them later.
But when I went out for the first time, I saw the terror outside and the poverty of other tribes.
Did you know that there are some small tribes where children are never even born?
Because they do not have extra food to supply a larger population, their tribes can only submit to some large surrounding tribes, and these surrendered tribes will become slaves and craftsmen of the large tribes.
That kind of life is so hard, and it makes me feel that the lives of outsiders are just like that.
Later, in order to dispel this idea, my father took me to visit the largest tribe named Lei.
But there, I saw another kind of horror. The wealthy people invaded other small tribes around them too seriously, and they didn't do much good to their weaker tribesmen. So, for me, this kind of life,
What else are you interested in?
If you want to tell me that life in the outside area is completely different from ours, then you'd better say less to me. Let me understand the world more realistically, and then my future life will be better.
Much happier, isn't it?
Can it be said that after I follow you to the outer area and see a different life, I can abandon this place and live the life I want?
What do you think a little girl like me who is incompatible with you will encounter when she goes to an outer area without knowing the language or possessing the local wealth? Or what kind of life will she lead?
Instead of experiencing another kind of dissatisfaction, why bother? It is better to experience the joy of being down-to-earth and being supported.
Look at me now, everyone in the tribe is doting on me, even the elders are helpless and helpless against my rudeness.
Why should everyone ignore the happy life they have already obtained and not live it well, but instead think about some useless and unrealistic freedom?
As a result, when I get old, the freedom I have been pursuing all my life is not very good, and it cannot even bring me the life I want. So it is better to look back and see a more dull and satisfying life that is content with the status quo.
.”
But sometimes I wonder if this little girl is an old monster. At such a young age, her thoughts are more stable and stable than those of them who have lived for several generations and even visited countless worlds.
However, if this is his choice, it is much better to respect the individual's choice than to persuade him to go out and take risks.
Moreover, this girl is indeed very knowledgable and measured, and all her fussing is within the scope of what is possible and what the other party can bear.
This is an extremely smart girl, so there is no need to say anything unnecessary.
Since they were likely to stay here for two days to rest and recuperate, Mai Fan asked the little girl a few questions about the things they were interested in here.
Since this little girl has such a high status in the entire tribe, and her privileges are so great, it may be able to satisfy part of his curiosity.
"You want to take a look at where we farm. Are you interested in the rice cakes we eat here?
Yes! Anyway, even if you don't come, we will send a collection team there every day to plant and collect. Most of your planting work here is done by women. If you want to visit, ask me.
That’s the right question.”
The little girl patted her chest and agreed immediately. Of course, this agreement was not unconditional.
"Then what kind of labor remuneration will you pay? Here, every kind of labor and work can be exchanged for corresponding remuneration, so you can't let the cute little girl work in vain. You don't want to
Am I working for nothing? I won’t cheat even a little girl out of my labor force.”
At this moment, Mai Fan still thought that this was a willful little girl. She was clearly a little devil.
However, the other party's request is not excessive. It is also extremely reasonable. In this regard, they are not stingy about using gifts in exchange for some curiosity.
"So what do you want? Is it some tools here, or some beautiful cloth? Is it the kind that can be made into clothes, or is it something delicious that you can eat?"
Hearing that there were so many choices, the leader's girl first looked down at her clothes. Then she pursed her lips and looked at the tools in the hands of those who served him around her. Finally, she
Keep your eyes on the rich food.
"Well, I'm not afraid of you saying that I have eaten a lot of good things, so what kind of delicacies will you exchange for me?"
In fact, Mai Fan had already prepared for this question. He took out a handful of candies from his pocket and handed them to the girl.
As a person who owns a store cabinet in a tavern, sugar is just like salt, something he always has on hand.
The types of these candies are extremely rich, including lollipops, chocolate fudge and marshmallows.
Not only are the outer packaging very exquisite, but under the transparent cellophane, the shapes of these candies are also extremely colorful.
In a primitive tribe full of red, this rich color is particularly conspicuous.
