- What! You killed a coyote alone!
Emma¡¯s mother, Para, was shaken after hearing her daughter¡¯s words, and looked at little Emma with disbelief.
As if she was uncomfortable with her mother's gaze, Emma moved her body uncomfortably. Her little face was also stained with a trace of blush, and she looked like she was shy.
In fact, only Emma herself knew that she was a little ashamed.
"It's my fault that I didn't make it clear. In fact, my hyena was beaten half to death by 'Sifu'. Then I took action and ended its life."
Finally, Emma told the key.
Phew!
It scared me to death, let me just say, how could a little girl like you kill a coyote by yourself?
Hearing this, Parra looked at Emma reproachfully, and continued to lightly tap her chest with her right hand.
"This is also to make me brave. I will be very scared if I have never killed a coyote. But after you have such an experience, everything is not so difficult to accept."
Emma returned to her cold look.
"After I killed the coyote, I felt that actually killing people didn't seem to matter. Maybe it felt the same as killing a coyote, so I thought that what men can do, we women can also do."
Emma turned her head and said in a very strange tone.
"It's fine for a woman to wait at home for her man to come home. I don't know who I learned this from at such a young age. Why do I have so many bad thoughts?" As soon as Emma finished speaking, the bison leather door curtain was lifted. Open, the head of the family, Black Bear, walked in from outside.
"Emma, ??father is back. Let's eat quickly. I think you must be starving."
After seeing the black bear come back, Emma¡¯s mother Parra opened the wooden lid of the stuffed rice, took out the wooden dishes that Zhao Hongyu and the others sold, and began to serve rice and vegetables on the ground.
Black Bear walked to one side of the tent and hung the bows and weapons on his back on the wall one by one. Then he slowly walked over and sat between Emma and his wife.
"You're not young anymore. Don't keep thinking about these messy things in your mind from now on."
After the black bear sat down, he raised his hand and tapped the scolded head gently.
Emma said nothing.
Black Bear withdrew his gaze. He had nothing to do with his daughter's change in not speaking much. As a father, he could only accept this change in his daughter.
"Well, today's dinner is so rich."
Black Bear sniffed his nose, then looked at the dinner on the ground in front of the three of them, and looked at his wife Para with some surprise.
"Heitong's place has started trading today. Didn't I follow your advice and go hunting for stones? I've been lucky these days, and I've found a lot of those kinds of stones, so I exchanged them all for rice and what you like. The Erguotou and pickled mustard are back."
Parra answered with a smile.
"It's really unexpected. Now we can have food without going out to hunt."
The black bear sighed.
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with this. In the past years, when we went hunting, someone would always be injured by the prey, or there would be conflicts with the hunting teams of surrounding tribes, so we women are always worried about you men.", Parana. He picked up a wooden bowl and filled it with a full bowl of rice, then placed it in front of the black bear. "Every time you go out, we worry that you won't be able to come back at night. Now, we don't have to worry about that anymore."
Looking at the joy on his wife Para's face, Black Bear felt that something was not right in his heart, but he could not figure out what was wrong.
¡°And what his wife Parra said is right.
Now they don¡¯t have to take risks to hunt, so what¡¯s wrong with getting these foods in exchange?
As a black bear, he just needs to lead the Mohawk warriors to guard the mine and be responsible for the safety of the women.
This thing is not difficult or even easy to do.
This way they would receive a small percentage of the gold the women mined as their reward.
"How many things did you get in exchange?"
Black Bear asked with some confusion.
Parra helped Emma fill a bowl of rice, then looked up at the black bear and pointed at the rice and other items placed in the corner and said: "Look, a bag of rice is enough for us to eat for fifteen sunsets. And there are also There is the kind of Erguotou you like to drink, pickled mustard."
These things, Parra just buys themIt will take three days to get the 'stone'. But the things she got in exchange were enough for them to eat for half a month.
This is something Parra never expected.
It is foreseeable that she can do this "stone hunting" thing before winter comes. If she worked harder, she wouldn't have to worry about food for the whole winter.
At the same time, this food called ¡®rice¡¯ can be stored for a long time as long as it is not damp. This is also one of the most popular reasons among Mohican women. What can be more satisfying than food being stored for a long time?
In previous years, although black bears also hunted a lot of prey.
But no one can stand eating meat all the time.
But there is nothing they can do if they don¡¯t eat meat, because if they don¡¯t eat meat, they have no other food to eat.
At the same time, in summer, meat food is very difficult to preserve. The Mohicans did not know how to air-dry meat, so the meat often rotted quickly and was then discarded.
This is very wasteful.
"It seems that I did the wrong thing by trusting Heitong and asking you to go gold mining."
Looking at his wife¡¯s happy face, Black Bear muttered to himself.
Listening to his man's mutterings, Parra said: "Of course, you don't know the way those women who didn't believe all this looked at us when we came back with this food today. They all deserve it. Who told them not to believe you and Heitong."
After filling Emma and Black Bear with rice with a smile, Parra also filled a bowl for herself.
"Our lives will get better and better in the future. Heitong said that after a while, his tribe will send thoughtful products. By then, we will have more things to exchange."
Infected by his wife's happiness, Black Bear was in a good mood.
"By the way, I also have some stones here, please praise them first. After you accumulate a certain amount, you can use them to exchange for some more Erguotou."
Black Bear took off a small leather bag sewn from marmot skin from his waist and threw it to his wife Para.
Parra reached out and took the leather bag, opened it and looked at it and found that it contained a lot of scattered gold particles.
"This is the protection fee collected every day. It's of no use anyway, so I might as well leave it to you to save it."
After Black Bear finished speaking, he ignored Parra, picked up the bowl, took a bite of rice and a bite of pickled mustard and started eating.
Para happily put the bag away and began to urge Emma to eat.
Scenes like the black bear family are being repeated in many Mohican families.
Many people feel that something is wrong in their hearts, but in the end no one can figure out what is wrong.
They know that their living habits are slowly being changed. In the end, their ancient habits will be completely changed by Zhao Hongyu and others.
Some Mohawk women who originally had no status in the family were not favored by anyone when they went to work in the gold mines.
However, since they returned with a lot of food today, they found that their family members seemed to look at them differently. My mother-in-law, who used to be always picky, has a big smile on her face today.
¡°My husband, who always treats me with a cold face, seems to be a lot more gentle towards me.
Especially after drinking the Erguotou they brought back, the men actually exposed themselves and said some love words.
These uneducated Mohican women were at a loss for such changes.
But some of the smarter women among them reacted, and they knew that the changes that brought about it must be related to their work in the gold mines and their ability to bring food to their families.
The more these smart women think about it, the more it makes sense.
They secretly thought in their hearts that they could not give up this job no matter what. Because of this job, the changes in their status are too obvious.
Some women who were always bullied or beaten at home. For the first time, they felt the benefits of working.
If you don¡¯t hit me in the future, I will bring you a bottle of Erguotou every day.
A timid woman saw that her man was in a good mood, so she tentatively proposed a condition.
This kind of woman has no ambition, she just wants not to be abused at home.
No problem, the food at home will depend on you from now on.
The man readily agreed,There is food to eat without him having to work, so why should he be unhappy?
Parasites exist in all eras, and the Mohican tribe is no exception.
From now on, when I am not at home and you are not hunting, the child will be taken care of by you.
A woman who was originally a bit of a masculine woman said this to her husband when she returned home.
No problem at all!
The man smiled and agreed, while happily drinking the Erguotou his wife brought back.
Various conversations and exchanges are taking place among more than a hundred families in the Mohican tribe.
The Mohican tribe is being changed unconsciously, but the Mohicans have not noticed it yet.
No one can predict what the Mohican tribe will look like in the future. And no one would know that the first thing to change in the Mohican tribe was the women who had always been very peaceful
And those other women who witnessed the gold mining women returning home with a full load of gold, besides secretly regretting not believing Black Bear's words and complaining that they missed a good opportunity, decided to go to Black Bear immediately the next day and ask him about the gold mine. There are no more people over there.
Because, in addition to the women, many men also saw the scene today.
¡°You can get so much food just by picking up some ¡®stones¡¯. Who wouldn¡¯t want to do such a good thing?
The mentality of taking advantage is something that the Mohicans also have.
"This night, some women's family status improved, while some women were complained and beaten by men
¡°I asked you to go there in the first place. You said you couldn¡¯t believe Black Bear and Black Eyes. Now you go and have a look. The xx family, who was originally worse than us, actually brought back so much food
