Chapter 850 Settlement

Da Bao and Da Bao were trembling with fear when they saw the dishes on the table. There was not only snake meat, but also many small insects, and even the maggots that grew from the rotting animal they saw when they were young.

"An An Le Le, why don't you eat? It's delicious, try it."

"Sister, this, this, these are insects."

"I know, this is our food, we have eaten these since we were young, they are delicious and nutritious, we only prepare these when there are noble guests at home, we usually eat wild vegetable dumplings."

"But we all eat rice." Da Bao couldn't help but say out loud, she was scared to tears by these insects, so scary.

"Rice is only for our clan leader and adults. We can't eat such noble food. An'an Lele, do you people outside eat rice? Wow, father, people outside are so rich. We only produce a few hundred kilograms of grain a year."

"Yes, An'an Lele, tell Uncle Agen what the outside world is like. You can't get used to these. There is also fish soup. The delicious fish soup contains golden osmanthus snakes, which are the best for nourishing people. There are very few golden osmanthus snakes in the mountains now. After catching them, they will be presented to the clan leader and elders. This is what I secretly left. It's delicious."

"Snake soup?"

"Yes, snake soup, this is the best."

After saying this, Atawa took a big sip. The satisfied look made the two children swallow their saliva.

They haven't drunk snake soup, but they have eaten snake soup. It was delicious when their godfather took them there before, but their mother said that children should not eat so much game, so they haven't eaten it again.

Seeing Atawa's sister like this, they immediately aroused their little greed.

If you don't eat insects, just eat the snake soup and wild vegetables, it's okay.

Dabao and Xiaobao looked at each other and took their own bowls to drink. Later, they found that the soup was really delicious, so they didn't care about being reserved anymore and ate without any eating manners.

You know, the two children haven't eaten these hot meals for several days, so once they start eating, they will definitely eat until they are full.

"Hahaha, good, good, eat more, eat more, eating more is a blessing."

Agen watched the two children eat happily, and occasionally picked up some wild vegetables for the two children. After they had almost eaten, he slowly asked the two children about the outside world.

Fortunately, Dabao and Xiaobao were more intelligent than other children, and they could answer some questions no matter what they were asked.

In addition, both children have gone to school. Although they don't know the 5,000-year history of China, they probably know some other things.

Agen knew that there was no emperor in the outside world, and there were even some things like women and men having equal rights, and women could go out to do business, which was simply unheard of and shocking.

There was also a school that men and women could go to.

For them, this was really like a very beautiful picture, which made them yearn for it.

In this ancient village, the status of men is always higher than heaven, and women can only stay at home to raise children and do housework and farm work.

Girls have to be engaged at the age of 13 and get married at the age of 15. Polygamy is even allowed here, but because of the thousand-year inheritance, the population here is only about 400 people.

Equal distribution is rare. In order to continue the offspring, of course, such polygamy is slowly disappearing, but the clan leader is an exception. They can be allowed to have two wives and even concubines. The most outrageous thing is that as long as the clan leader likes it, he can even possess other people's wives and daughters. Of course, this is absolutely unimaginable to the outside world, but here, the clan leader is the sky, the earth, and the king here.

In addition to the king who appeared in the legend, the clan leader is the most important person.

The wives and daughters that have been taken away will be returned to the men of that family when the clan leader gets tired of them, but they will not be dissatisfied at all, and they may even think that this is the clan leader praying for their family, which is extremely sacred and glorious.

But Agen does not want to do so.

Agen's wife was once favored by the clan leader, but Agen and his wife loved each other very much. In order not to be taken away by the clan leader, his wife finally committed suicide, so Agen's family was also looked down upon by the clan members. They lived in this bamboo house that was the most unsafe and close to the mountain, and they could only get a little food forever.

Even when Agen was training in the military camp, he was rejected by everyone and often punished by the elders.

The four elders were all the clan leader's confidants. Their army was formed by all the men in the clan who were over 13 years old and under 50 years old. As for why they had to spend half of their time every day training soldiers instead of farming, no one knew.

No one knew when the legendary king who would lead them to glory and rebirth would appear.

This is a nation that maintains feudalism, decline, and decay. It should have disappeared thousands of years ago, but it has strangely continued to this day.

"Dad, has Neng Guokang's illness been cured? Does the doctor have a solution?"

At the end of the meal, the father and daughter also talked about some other topics, but when Agen mentioned the boy who was only about 11 years old and Atawa's childhood sweetheart, he sighed heavily in his heart.

He liked Neng Guokang very much, so he waited until Atawa was 13 years old to arrange a marriage for them. The two families also agreed. Neng Guokang's parents were the only people in the village who did not despise them.

But how could Neng Guokang get sick? It was just a cold. How could he be so seriously ill?

"The doctor can't do anything. He said that he will offer sacrifices and pray for blessings tomorrow. Neng Guokang's parents have carried him back."

Hearing this news, Atawa's mood suddenly became low. Agen looked at his daughter and slowly packed up and walked away.

Xiaobao followed Uncle Agen to know more about the situation in the village, and Dabao looked at Atawa's crying face and wanted to comfort her.

"…That's what happened. The doctor's medicine is ineffective. My Neng Guokang is almost dead. I tell you, sacrifices have no effect at all. I've seen it. And those vultures will surround them. Once a person is dead, they will eat him up. I don't want my Neng Guokang to be like this."

"Sister, didn't you say you caught a cold? If you catch a cold, you can take medicine and get an injection."

Dabao still didn't understand what Atawa meant, but he knew that a cold was just a minor illness and could be cured by an injection and medicine.

Atawa didn't understand what Dabao meant by injection, but if he took medicine, Neng Guokang had already taken a lot of medicine, but it didn't work at all.

Dabao saw that Atawa didn't respond, thought about it and ran to his bag to take out a box of cold medicine. This was the common medicine that Shen Xiaoxiao prepared for them, just in case there was something wrong with the children, such as fever or cough, they didn't know.

Of course, the two children have been in good health since they were young and have never been sick. Now that they know someone has a cold, of course they took out the medicine, but Dabao didn't know that this medicine almost brought them a fatal disaster.
