Chapter 40: Big Men and Women

When Si Yan was wondering why this statue looked exactly like herself, she suddenly saw the male savage Kunbu who had exchanged items with her in the grocery store. He was wearing a banana skirt around his waist and was led by the old chief Kunya, holding the sacred fire and walking towards her.

Konbu looked determined and raised his arms and shouted.

"My fellow elders and brothers, I, Konbu, have been blessed by the Moon God. Not only have I obtained the Holy Fire, I have also brought back refined salt."

"Salt?"

The skinny elder slowly stood up with his cane, and the few sparse hairs on his chin trembled as he spoke: "What is refined salt?"

"Fine salt is more precious than saline soil. Just a little bit can fill our bodies with strength."

As Kombu spoke, he took out a bag of pure white salt from his waist and held it high above his head.

"This is a gift from the Moon Goddess!"

"Thanks to the Moon Goddess, our children will never suffer from rickets again!"

The high priestess Magu shook her bone staff, and the snow-white bone bells made a tinkling sound. The tribesmen followed her and performed a sacrificial dance facing the two moons in the sky.

The new chief, Khumbu, lit the bonfire with the sacred fire.

The firelight illuminated the faces of the tribesmen, giving their dark skin a warm golden hue.

The warriors danced an ancient tap dance around the fire, making a humming sound.

A few children were chasing and playing not far away, and they didn't cry or make a fuss when they fell down. They got up and continued to play and fight with their friends.

With the sacred fire and refined salt, the tribe's life will surely get better day by day.

Si Yan found it interesting to watch and thought their tap dance was a bit like the ethnic minority's dance for the gods, so he walked over to join them and started dancing to the rhythm of "dong dong dong".

"Look!"

"The moon is red!"

"It must be that the Moon Goddess sensed our piety and is celebrating with us."

"That's right. My grandfather's grandfather said that when the moon turns red, it means the Moon Goddess descends to the mortal world to bless us."

"Lord Moon God!"

Hundreds of tribesmen stopped dancing, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the moon in the sky.

Si Yan watched from the side for a while. This ancient and mysterious worship ceremony would become a bit boring after watching it for too long.

"You guys play, I have to go back." Si Yan was about to leave when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind a haystack not far away.

She walked over.

Then I saw two savages, a man and a woman, behind the haystack.

The male savages in the tribe all cover themselves with banana leaves.

Female savages would weave grass into skirts to cover several important parts of their body.

When a man and a woman are together, all these things are meaningless.

Si Yan was feeling a little embarrassed and was about to turn around when she suddenly heard the male savage say.

"Maguli, be my woman and give me a litter of pups without osteomalacia, okay?"

"No... Gongga, no..."

The female savage pushed the male savage on her hard.

But Gongga is the strongest and bravest warrior in the tribe.

She tried her best, but not only did she fail to push Gong Ga away, she also aroused Gong Ga's possessiveness.

The exciting and explosive scene made Si Yan want to cover his eyes but not want to.

When Si Yan was exchanging items with Kunbu in the grocery store, he heard Kunbu say that Maguli was the daughter of the high priest. At his chieftainship ceremony, he received lily of the valley from Maguli and was very happy.

"Ahem!" Si Yan found his position and immediately said, "Stop! Let her go!"

Unfortunately, her voice couldn't be heard at all.

Seeing that Gong Ga was about to succeed, Si Yan had an idea and suddenly a lighter appeared in his hand.

In desperation, she set fire to the haystack next to Maguli and Gongga.

The rising fire quickly attracted the attention of the tribesmen.

All the savages, men and women, gathered around.

"Maguli? Gongga? What are you guys doing?"

"Oh my God, tonight is the sacred moment to worship the Moon God. How dare you do such filthy things here?"

"You have blasphemed the Moon Goddess!"

"Lord Moon God must be angry, the haystack next to them caught fire by itself."

"That's right! Gongga and Maguli blasphemed the Moon Goddess. They should be thrown to the Cliff of Repentance!"

The tribesmen surrounded Maguli and Gongga, chattering in the most primitive Black Stone language.

Si Yan could actually understand it.

I didn't expect that the savages of the Blackrock Tribe had such a rich imagination that they could connect everything to Lady Moon Goddess.

When he heard that he was going to be thrown to the cliff of remorse, Gongga panicked.

He picked up the banana skirt and wrapped it around his body, pointing at Maguli and shouting, "It was her. She seduced me. She admired me because I was the best warrior in the tribe. She took me behind the haystack and threw herself on me. I couldn't push her away... This is all Maguli's fault. She should be thrown to the cliff of regret."

Maguli is dark and thin, but her eyes are as bright as the stars in the sky.

She looked up at the two moons that had lost their blood color, then slowly knelt down.

She knew that the Moon Goddess was protecting her.

If the Moon Goddess had not used her divine power to set fire to the haystack next to her, she would have been defiled by Gongga.

In the wild continent, men are superior to women.

Because male savages have great strength, rich hunting experience, greater endurance, and the ability to work in teams, they can obtain more food from nature.

Female savages are weak and have little power, and can only survive by relying on men.

A male savage can have multiple female savages at the same time.

To a certain extent, female savages are the assets of male savages. If they no longer want them or if they can no longer give birth to little savages, the male savages will sell them at an extremely low price or exchange them for other items.

It was a disaster year.

When food is unavailable in the jungle, the female savages will face an even more miserable fate.

Maguli is the daughter of the high priest Magu and is only thirteen years old this year.

She is clever and can grind hard branches into sharp points to spear fish in the water. She can tell the direction by looking at the stars in the sky and identify the mushrooms in the jungle, which ones are poisonous and which ones are not...

She was smarter and more valuable than any other woman in the tribe.

The old chief Kunya said a long time ago that when Kunbu becomes the new chief, he will let her be Kunbu's first woman.

Maguli had been dreaming of this day.

But she didn't expect that on the day when Khumbu became the new chief, Gongga would drag her behind the haystack...

After bowing to the moon devoutly, Maguli stood up and looked at Kunbu in the crowd with sparkling eyes: "Kunbu, do you believe me?"

Konbu is a man.

He couldn't believe it.

Gongga was the tribe's most powerful warrior, and many girls admired him... and he had just seen Gongga and Maguli rolling together, with their banana and grass skirts thrown aside...

"Since you all don't believe me, let Master Moon God prove my innocence."

Maguli pointed to the burning haystack nearby and said, "If I am innocent, the raging fire will burn me without leaving any trace. If I really seduced the bastard Gongga and blasphemed the Moon Goddess, let this raging fire burn me to ashes."

After saying this, Maguli walked straight towards the fire.

The savages of the wild continent have an innate reverence for fire.

Fire can burn everything.

Whether it is people or plants, they will all turn into dust under the burning of the fire.

She is not trying to prove her innocence, but seeking her own death.

Kunbu couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and grabbed Maguli's hand: "Don't do anything stupid."

Maguli looked at him and repeated the question: "Do you believe me?"

Konbu thought for a moment and said, "Gongga is pretty good..."
