Chapter 12

Seeing that the stone bear was a little shy, the tallest one of the women said, "don't make fun of the stupid head. His injury is not so sharp."

The stone bear knew this woman. The day after he came to gaoshu tribe, he met this woman.

In fact, it's a little inappropriate to describe this woman as a woman, because she is only 20 years old this year. If we put it in the modern age more than 200 years later, she is just an adult.

But here, she is a mother of two.

There is no way. In this era, the life expectancy of North American Indians is not long, so the marriage of North American Indians is relatively early. Generally speaking, it is normal for boys to get married at the age of 14 or 15 and girls at the age of 13 or 14.

This is similar to the situation in the Qin Dynasty and the early Western Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago.

Natural selection, in order to maintain the continuation of the clan, marriage and childbirth ahead of time is inevitable.

This woman's name is unknown to Shi Xiong, but he knows that this woman is the daughter of kabulu, the only shaman priest in gaoshu tribe, and her status is very high in the whole tribe.

You know, among the Indian tribes in North America, the shaman priests are no worse than the leaders of a tribe, and the high priests can even be on an equal footing with the chief.

Of course, the sacrifice of the North American Indian tribes usually has several responsibilities, one of which is the witch doctor.

Silly head's heroic performance in the last battle was recognized by kabulu sacrifice. So the next day, the stone bear was led to the wooden house where kabulu sacrifice lived. In that wooden house, the stone bear saw the legendary Indian sacrifice for the first time.

To be honest, Yang Jing can't tell whether kabulu sacrifice is a man or a woman. He uses the most appropriate word to describe the sacrifice, which is "androgyny".

The kabulu priest was dressed in broad linen clothes, which was an important way to distinguish the sacrifice of the Cherokee people from the ordinary people. Kabulu sacrifice is very thin, the second sex characteristics are not obvious. Moreover, there is a ravine on the man's face, and the wrinkles on his face make it difficult for the stone bear to distinguish his true age and gender.

In fact, the concept of gender of the North American Indians came into being after the European conquest of North America. Before that, the Indian tribes did not stipulate how men and women must be "normal".

In the original Indian tribe, people with both masculine and feminine temperament would be regarded as gifts given by gods. They were blessed with both men's and women's souls. Indians believe that such people are more spiritual than typical men or women, so they are often chosen as religious leaders, namely shamanists or teachers.

Indians believe that androgynous people can see things from different angles at the same time, so it is a gift from God. For example, in Navajo culture, there are four kinds of gender division for Indians: first, feminine women, who play the role of women in society; Second, masculine men play a male role in society; Thirdly, feminine men play the role of women in society; The fourth is masculine women, playing male roles.

The most famous hermaphrodite is a Lakota warrior, whose name is "find and kill them," and is a crow. His original name was OSH tish, a man with a handle, but he played a female role in the tribe; He even wore women's clothes and married a woman. In the famous battle of Rosebud River, he saved a tribe member, and showed amazing courage and courage in the battle, so he got the nickname "find and kill them".

The story of "find and kill them" shows that the North American Indians attach great importance to their contribution to the tribe, but it is not their gender. Indian children's clothes are very neutral, and the tribe has no rules on which gender they should like or how to love them.

Indians feel that their senses are very special. They can see what others can't see, taste special tastes, smell what others can't smell, and hear what others can't hear. They have two kinds of souls at the same time. No wonder they are regarded as leaders.

"Find and kill them" is more than 100 years later than this time, but more than 100 years later, the status of the male and female Indians in the tribe is so high, let alone now?

Originally, stone bear thought that kabulu sacrifice was a man, but when he came out of the hospital, Gao Niu told him that kabulu sacrifice was actually a great woman. Moreover, kabulu sacrifice has lasted for hundreds of years. Every sacrifice in gaoshu tribe is called kabulu.

If there is no accident, this woman will take over the position of Shaman priest of gaoshu tribe and become a new generation of kabulu priest when her mother, the kabulu priest of this term, dies.

Stone bear picked down from the rock and saluted the woman with obvious masculinity. Although she was a woman in front of her eyes, she was very masculine. In the words of later generations, she was a valiant woman.

However, as the successor of the next kabulu sacrifice, the stone bear must keep enough respect for her.

Seeing that the stone bear didn't speak, the woman said with a smile, "you don't have to be formal. You and your people have been accepted by the tribe now. You are from the gaoshu tribe now. Well, you can call me little kabulu. In the future, I will probably take over my mother's position and become the new kabulu priest of gaoshu tribe. At that time, you will call me kabulu priest. "

Little cabulet said, sitting on a small stone opposite to the stone bear, pointing to the women around him and introducing: "this is the sheep tail flower, this is the green stone, this is the mangrove vine, this is the Momo grass, they are all my good friends."

The stone bear nodded to the other four women and said with a smile, "nice to meet you."

Stone bear's gift and this sentence surprised several women. The woman named Mo Mo Cao said in a low voice, "doesn't a silly head look silly? His manner and tone of speech are very similar to those vasichus who came to the tribe to exchange animal skins. "

Several women nodded one after another, looking at the stone bear's eyes became more curious.

Little cabro looked at the stone bear, pointed to his head and asked, "silly head, is your brain OK?"

"Blessed by the supreme Sun God, my brain seems to be getting better after the last heavy blow." The stone bear turned to face the high hanging sun, raised his hands up and bowed. Then he turned around and asked, "are you planting corn? Why do you have to do this? Don't you know that growing corn like this will make the harvest of corn less? "

As soon as the words came out, several women were stunned
