Chapter 10 12 The Temple of Descendants
Ah Li doesn't understand what Yu Hui and Su Mian are discussing, he only knows that Yu Hui asked Su Mian to discipline him.Maybe Yuhui thinks that he should master some decent skills that a man should know?In the past 16 years, he could only do some menial work, and he didn't understand the skills that could please his wife, such as embroidery, cooking, singing, dancing and singing.That is to say, as long as he learns these things, there is still hope that he will be accepted by Yuhui, and his already stagnant state of mind unknowingly has a glimmer of hope.

Yuhui took advantage of Ali's wandering thoughts, and hurriedly dragged him to sit around the table together, and finished breakfast.

By the time Ali realized that he was sitting and eating with the hosts, he had already been force-fed half a bowl of food by Yuhui.

Yuhui saw that Ali had the intention to resist, she immediately said seriously: "Don't you obey my order? You don't want to eat with me, do you think my brother's cooking is not delicious?"

Su Mian smoothed things over and said, "Little sister, you will make Ali even more nervous when you say that. Don't be afraid, Ali, and finish your meal obediently."

A Li didn't dare to say more, he swallowed the rice in his bowl, and immediately got up and stood aside and asked cautiously: "Is this the master's new game?"

Su Mian smiled and said, "A Li, you can think whatever you want, as long as you can relax and accept it calmly."

Yuhui thinks that Su Mian's answer is good. Now, talking about the concept of equality with Ali, it's better to follow his mind and slowly nurture him, let his body get used to the feeling of being respected and comfortable, and then gradually change his thinking mode, right?Besides, according to Su Mian's current growth status and mental ability, she should be more qualified than her to teach Ali.She decided to completely let go of the power and let Su Mian let go of reforming Ali without any scruples.

After the meal, Ali bundled all the things he wanted to take away into a big bundle first, and carried them on his back.Although these items have been streamlined, after all, they are food and clothing for three people, and the volume and weight are much larger than the usual burden for one person.

Yu Hui said: "A Li, if you separate the luggage, wouldn't it be easier for us to share some?"

A Li declined and said, "Carrying luggage is what I should do. How can I work for the master? Besides, I have practiced internal skills and am very strong, so it is not difficult to carry these things at all."

Su Mian also said earnestly, "Little sister, whether it's a nobleman or an ordinary man and woman who go out together, the ones who carry the luggage are naturally the men, and the women can move around with empty hands or with weapons. I know you are considerate of me and Ali, But being too shocking can easily lead to trouble.”

Yu Hui nodded, thinking that she is small and weak, can't carry much things, and the distance is not important. In case excessive physical exertion drags them down, there will be no more disputes.She asked again: "Ali, why don't you wear the clothes that my brother changed for you. This coarse cloth is thin and shabby, with your arms and legs exposed, so you are easy to catch cold."

A Li pursed his lips and said, "Young master's clothes are made of delicate materials. I am a slave, and I usually wear such clothes when I do rough work. I'm afraid..."

Yu Hui smiled and said, "How can clothes last forever? The coarse cloth on your body is too torn and dirty, it can be used as a rag. Be obedient, go and change your clothes before we go out."

Seeing that Ali was still hesitant, Su Mian persuaded: "Ali, we are going on a long trip now, you should dress decently so you won't embarrass us. Go and change quickly, I still have a pair of clothes in my room." Shoes and socks are specially prepared for you."

Ali thanked him gratefully, and quickly changed his clothes, but instead of throwing away the coarse cloth and rags, he put this set of clothes in his luggage.

Yu Hui asked strangely: "A Li, what are you still doing with that rags?"

A Li explained softly: "Master, although the clothes are a bit worn out, they are still wearable. The previous master also rewarded me with clothes, but they are easily damaged when punished."

"A Li, I won't beat you." Yu Hui said softly, "Don't worry, your clothes are worn out now, and I will buy you new clothes."

Ali lowered his head and said nothing.In the past, Cheng Rou said like this more than once that she would not beat him again, but when she was in a bad mood, she would still beat him severely with a whip until his skin was ripped apart, and the clothes that hit him could no longer be mended.Of course, he is not qualified to question Yuhui's words, he just keeps reminding himself, don't take it seriously and don't believe it, lest you will be disappointed and sad in the future.Didn't the master deny it? All the special tender care he feels now may be a game.When the master gets tired of playing, his good life will come to an end.

Finally set off, all the way north, in order to save money, the three of them walked.At the beginning, they did not take the official road because they took shortcuts, and they could not meet towns and villages. Basically, they lived and slept in the open, relying on hunting and picking for self-sufficiency.

A Li insisted on carrying all the luggage by himself, and when resting along the way, he took the initiative to busy himself with hunting, finding water sources, lighting fires, and keeping watch at night. time to rest.

Yuhui wanted to help, but her skills of survival in the wild were limited, so it was hard not to make trouble.I had no choice but to put my mentality in order, watch more and learn more, and hone my skills slowly, thinking that if I get an order in the future, I will be able to protect myself.

According to the current speed, they will be able to leave the mountains on the fourth day and walk to the more populated plains.Tonight they found an abandoned temple where they planned to rest.

After dinner, Yuhui couldn't sleep, so she wandered around the ruined temple, and found that the temple was slightly different from what she knew.She asked enthusiastically: "Brother, what kind of temple is this? Why is it not a statue but a big tree?"

Su Mian smiled and said, "Little sister, didn't the gods tell you?"

"Didn't the gods tell you that?" Yuhui begged, "Brother, you are knowledgeable and talented, please spread the knowledge for me."

In fact, Ali was also very interested. He had been confined in a house in the deep mountains before, and later escaped with Cheng Rou, and even slept in a ruined temple. But at that time, how could Cheng Rou have the heart to tell Ali allusions?
Su Mian saw that both Yuhui and Ali were interested, so she stopped trying to keep her secret, and said loudly, "This should be an abandoned descendant temple."

Yuhui's heart moved, and she pretended to be innocent and asked, "Isn't that supposed to enshrine the gods in charge of fertility? Why is it a big tree?"

"That's not an ordinary tree, but a sacred tree." Su Mian said patiently, "The sacred tree is a necessary thing for us to live and multiply, and the fruit it bears is fetal fruit. Legend has it that there were only seven sacred trees in the beginning, and they were revered as The initial sacred tree. The ethnic group living around these seven sacred trees slowly evolved into seven countries. Later, someone discovered the method of transplanting and cultivating the sacred tree, which is to cut off new branches from the initial sacred tree and use the body of the sacred tree Soaking the secreted oar juice can temporarily preserve immortality, and after finding suitable soil for cultivation, it can bloom and bear fruit after ten years, and the newly planted sacred tree can also be cut off and reproduced again after a hundred years. Only then can people migrate around. In villages, towns and cities of a certain scale , will build descendant temples, transplant and cultivate new sacred trees, and multiply the population. However, the age of the transplanted sacred trees is generally not more than a thousand years old, presumably the sacred trees here have withered, and the descendant temples were abandoned."

"What is fetal fruit?" What Yu Hui wanted to know more about was the fertility issue here.

"The sacred tree is planted and survived, and it will bear fruit after ten years. The fetal fruit must be watered with the blood of the virgin boy, and it can be born after devout sacrifices and prayers. Therefore, the temple will support the virgin boy, called the holy boy. The blood of the holy boy waters the sacred tree. The sacred tree presides over the ceremony of giving birth to fetal fruit. If men and women want to have children after marriage, they will offer a certain amount of property in the descendant temple in exchange for fetal fruit. Rich people often offer a lot of money, and they can choose their own holy The child gives birth to the fetal fruit. The holy child can also be asked to fast and bathe a certain time in advance, and do a great job in the temple of the descendants, and make grand arrangements. People think that the fetal fruit obtained in this way is easy to give birth to daughters, and the children will be healthy and smart."

When Yuhui heard it, it turned out that fetal fruit can control birth, so if a normal couple has fun, as long as they don't eat fetal fruit, they don't have to worry about getting pregnant accidentally?This kind of design is really good, even if it is a woman who has a child, it is much more free, and it is convenient for Guangnafu to identify the biological father of the child.It's a pity that she has to stick to the end, and such preferential conditions are greatly discounted for her.

Putting aside those depressing conditions that cannot be changed, she asked again: "Brother, is the fetal fruit eaten by a man or a woman? When will it be eaten, and what will happen after eating it?"

Su Mian's face turned red. In fact, these things should be taught by parents to their children before marriage. He and Yuhui are brothers and sisters with different surnames, and they usually get along casually, but they shouldn't talk about such things between men and women. So he said perfunctorily: "Little sister, when you marry a husband, someone will tell you about those things."

It seemed that it was a restricted-level question, Yuhui was afraid of Su Mian's embarrassment, so she didn't press her further, she turned her head and looked at A Li.She planned to ask Ali secretly when Su Mian was not paying attention.

I have been very busy with work recently, and I have been haggard since I came back from a business trip. I learned that my colleague died while climbing a mountain, and another colleague needed a long recuperation for an Achilles tendon cut operation.Mourning for the dead and praying for a speedy recovery for the living.I say so much because I am inseparable from their work, so my workload has virtually tripled in recent months.

However, I will try my best to ensure that the update of this article is regular and quantitative, and I also look forward to everyone's recommendation votes and collection support.See you tomorrow at 9pm.
