☆.Ancient Era 12
In the Ancient Era 12, it was very common for tribes to trade food for population. Although population was important to every tribe, in times of famine this trade was necessary in exchange for precious food.
It is often the large tribes that exchange for population, because the food of small tribes cannot feed too many people, and sometimes they do not need so much labor. The big tribes are different. In addition to hunting, they also plant, pick, and even weave. These labors require a large number of people.
In the human trade, women are more valuable than men. Although men are strong laborers, women represent reproduction. Therefore, a woman can usually exchange for five large clay buckets of food, but a man is only worth half of a woman.
And this time Yuan Fangbu's request was so generous that it was staggering - they were willing to use fifty clay buckets of food in exchange for a woman. Yes, fifty, ten times the price, any Wushan person would be stunned when he heard it. So Tu Yu hurriedly came to Yao Ji: "I think the clan leader wants to replace you."
"But," Yao Ji was surprised and suspicious, "Why would Yuan Fang want to replace me?" Fifty clay buckets of food , no matter how you look at it, its too much.
The women were chattering and couldn't explain the reason, but one of the women stammered: "Maybe... maybe it's because of the beast tide." Seeing everyone turning to look at her, she looked more and more embarrassed, "I, I listen to my man. I said that when a few men went to the Yuanfang tribe to change their skins, they told the Yuanfang people... about Yao."
The tribes here are not completely non-communicative, but will hold trading activities similar to fairs from time to time. They were exchanged for food or animal skins by tribesmen in need. Because the Yuanfang tribe was the largest tribe in the surrounding area, the trading location was set at Yuanfang.
Yao Ji suddenly realized that those men must have told her about her ability to drive the beasts when they were bragging. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did. The Yuanfang tribe occupies a large area and has a large population. Once it encounters a beast tide, the losses will be unmatched by Wu Shan. Therefore, they have the idea of Yao Ji.
In fact, it was not that Yao Ji had not considered the danger. The common man was not guilty, but he was guilty of carrying the jade. However, she was more worried about being jealous in the tribe. She did not expect that the crisis would come from outside. That clan leader Fang Kang was not Yao Ji's malicious attempt to speculate on others. Fang Kang...maybe really agreed to replace her.
But she is Mu Sheng's woman. If she wants to trade her for food, she must at least inform Mu Sheng. Besides, given Mu Sheng's status in the tribe, Fang Kang couldn't force him if he didn't agree. However, Yao Ji couldn't help but wonder, would Mu Sheng... choose her.
Fifty pots of food, which is almost half a year's ration for the Wu Shan tribe. As long as she is handed over, the tribe will have food and clothing for the next six months. The men will no longer have to risk their lives to hunt deep into the jungle, and neither will the women. Working all day long, he even fainted from exhaustion. If it were Mu Sheng himself who was to be replaced, he would definitely agree without hesitation.
That man loved his tribe deeply and would not hesitate to give his life. If it was half a month ago, Yao Ji thought she would have been replaced. Now...she took a deep breath, and she was willing to believe Mu Sheng.
But the question is, if Mu Sheng doesn't agree, will others be willing? She is Mu Sheng's woman, and that's all. Except for Mu Sheng, everyone in the tribe has nothing to do with her. Is an unrelated person more important, or is the food on which we depend more important? If Mu Sheng insists on choosing her, will he be hostile to his tribe?
