Chapter 4 Chapter Two

The Jiang clan in Qishan had a fierce battle with the wild rhinoceros. Although they won, many people died. However, this incident caused controversy.Fuxi was displeased, and accidentally got the meteorite from outside the sky, the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Stone, which activated the energy of mind and body, and rescued his younger sister Nuwa from the state of promiscuity in Jiangshui Cave. The two tried to build a Belonging to a new tribe of humans.
Twenty years later. It was another rare downpour, accompanied by turbulent rumbling thunder and glaring lightning, which lasted for several days.Even though it was daytime, the sky was covered by thick dark clouds, and the earth was dark. Only lightning suddenly illuminated this world of heaven and earth.Qishan Mountain is tall and straight and stretches continuously, and several streams pass through the valleys, criss-crossing.The veins formed by mountains and river valleys extend in all directions.Among them, the largest river is called the Yellow River because of the yellow color of its water flow. The most interesting coincidence is that the Yellow River has also become the birthplace and birthplace of the Qishan Jiangshui Huang race.But the tributary of the Yellow River that crosses Qishan Mountain is represented by Jiangshui.

Through the light of the lightning, several black shadows were running crazily.They passed through a jungle and came to a rock at the foot of Qishan Mountain, and quickly got into a cave there.Not far from them, there is also a group of monsters running.These are five rhinos, two big rhinos lead three little rhinos who seem to have been hurt, "stepping, stepping, stepping" to follow those figures. The five rhinos stopped at the entrance of the cave, looking around with blue eyes, looking to both sides and into the cave.The two big rhinos are in the front, and the three small rhinos are behind, forming a natural formation.One of the big rhinos howled a few times, shaking the heavens and the earth, as if venting its anger.

People shouted from the cave, some shouted "cow", some shouted "food", and some shouted "get up, there are cows outside!" I only heard someone inside say: "You found the cow, good, finally there is something to eat. Where is the cow?" A man who just ran into the cave said: "It's not far outside, we went out to find food, we hurt It was a small calf, but the big bull was too ferocious, so he had to run back to call someone." After speaking, he showed a proud and proud expression, and he went out of the cave to have a look as he spoke.Obviously, finding these cattle was no small feat.

This is a man with disheveled hair, bare upper body, and a wild boar skin around his lower body. He is still humming a melody, and there are a few laugh lines on his dirty face.But just as he came out of the cave, the lightning-like eyes of the rhinoceros standing in front illuminated his eyes.He didn't expect this huge monster to come so fast, only a few steps away from him, he turned his head in panic and tried to go into the cave desperately, shouting loudly: "The cow is outside the cave..., hurry..." But He hadn't finished yelling the quick word, the big rhino jumped up, and only heard a "chi", the sharp front horn pierced his back, and with a scream, the man was mourning.

Seeing this scene, there was an immediate chaos in the cave, and various sounds came from inside.Some shouted "Ah!", some shouted "beast, beast", and some shouted "Niu, what a powerful cow!" and so on.In the cave, several men wearing bear, wolf and tiger skins quickly guarded the entrance of the cave. Some of them picked up stones and threw them at the rhino.Some people picked up sticks, some clenched their fists.One of them took the lead and stood at the front.This man has a serious expression and sharp eyes. He wears a tiger skin skirt and holds a large stone axe. He is already in a fighting posture.He was over ten feet tall, with a hulking back and a thick body, which could make people let go of their fear.I just heard him say: "Brothers, don't be afraid, the people inside backed up, pulled the tree rope and hurriedly reported to other caves. Five big rhinoceros came ahead, and we have meat to eat!" This person is none other than Suiren .

A few people started pulling on the tree rope. A few rhinos outside the cave also saw many people in the cave, but the two big rhinos were not cowardly at all. They looked at each other, and the rhino that came first yelled again and took a step back, and the rhino that came later also let out a cry. With a sound of harmony, he lowered his head, kicked his hind legs, and rushed into the hole with a "bao". The cave was turned upside down, and there were constant shouts and shouts.Two people were trampled under the hooves of the bull, and one fell down after being stabbed in the abdomen by the bull's horn.The front of the rhinoceros was also beaten several times, and the tail of the ox was cracked like a whip.The bull was attacked by rocks and sticks, and it rushed left and right, and there were some casualties. Just when people dared not approach, the big rhino swayed a few times and fell to the ground.

It was only then that people discovered that a long opening had been split in the rhino's abdomen, and the beef liver, intestines, and bones flowed out rosy white. Looking at Suiren again, his stone ax has also turned into a blood axe.It turned out that when the rhinoceros ran into the cave, the Suiren was already lying on the ground, and opened the belly of the bull with the blade of an axe. The people in the cave were crying and shouting, already shrouded in panic, and most of them were already at a loss.The Suiren shouted: "It's a man, follow me!" As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the hole first.

The big rhinoceros outside the cave saw the rhinoceros inside falling down, and let out another strange cry, its four hooves soared into the air like stepping on clouds, and before it could enter the cave, the ax of Suiren brought the wind and smashed towards the bull's head.The bull was also crazy, its head swung left and right, and tried to use its horn to push away the flintman's stone axe, only to hear two "clicks", the horn was hit by the stone axe, and the stone ax was also hit by the horn and flew to the rock beside the cave at the same time. above, the wooden handle is broken off.The rhinoceros was in unbearable pain, and turned upside down in the air, and the oxtail swished towards the Suiren. The Suiren was also really clever, bent down to let the momentum of the oxtail pass, and grabbed the oxtail with his hands.The cow whirled back and forth like a whirlwind, and the man was thrown over and over again.

At the critical moment, another person jumped onto the bull's back with a loud roar, and stretched out his hands to grab a long horn on the rhino's head. These rhinos are two-horned cattle, with one horn growing in the middle of the eyes and directly above the nose.There is another corner not far behind that is longer and sharper than the front one.This rhinoceros felt that its back was firmly clamped by its legs, and its horns were also stuck and pulled upwards, so that the bull's head could no longer move around with force.Only the four hooves could move, so they ran and kicked, trying to shake off the two of them.At the same time, they screamed for help.

At this time, many men rushed out of the cave, and seeing that the big bull was so fierce, they all jumped at the three little bulls.The three calves had also been besieged and injured before. Seeing that Da Niu was besieged by two people, and listening to Da Niu begging for help, they were about to rush forward, but many people blocked their way in front of them, and all the sticks and stones were smashed. Come.A calf screamed strangely, and the three calfs stood forward together, forming a bull formation.The six horns pierced the human wall like six sharp knives.The people on both sides dodged backwards, the people in the middle had nowhere to hide, and three people were stabbed by the bull's horn again, making fatal screams.The crowd rioted again.

Seeing that the calf was also being besieged, the big bull ran over to save the calf regardless of himself. It was distracted, but the Suiren who grabbed the ox's tail found the opportunity, and he freed up one hand to grab the calf's leg. One forcefully knocked the cow down.The man riding on the bull saw it, flew down, held down the other bull's leg, and shouted: "Get some rope!" A man tore off the rope used to announce the news and handed it over. Several men Tie up the big rhinoceros with seven turns and eight lines. Seeing that the bull had been restrained, the man shouted to the Suiren: "Suiren, let's each use one end of the rope to trip the cow's legs, everyone get out of the way!" The Suiren responded, "Okay!" The two of them grabbed one end of the rope and rushed towards the calf formation.There was also an emergency on the side of the calf formation, another person was stabbed to death, and five or six people were injured. The people stumbled on their legs and fell down together, and they were held down and tied up by the crowd.The five rhinos originally came here to escape the heavy rain, not wanting to collide with a few people looking for food, and finally fell into the hands of people.Seeing the cows being subdued, people cheered amidst the crying. "Fuxi, Fuxi!" A handsome woman with disheveled hair and bare upper body yelled as she ran up to the man who shouted, "Fuxi, where are you hurt?" Fuxi wiped the sweat off his face with his hand and said, "Sister Nuwa, it's okay, it's okay!" At this time, someone shouted: "The patriarch is here!" I saw a group of shaved women with leaf skirts on their lower bodies and bare upper bodies, surrounded by a woman who was nearly fifty years old and came to the scene.This woman is the new Jiang clan leader who succeeded the old Jiang clan leader.The ancient clans were called by shi, and the Jiang family was the largest, so the new patriarch even inherited all the names of the Jiang family.She wore a tiger skin on her upper body and a tiger skin skirt on her lower body. She looked proud and imposing. The Jiang clan is a primitive clan that has not yet been civilized. It can be called a group of people who have not yet fully formed.According to the classification of modern anthropologists, they are still in the matrilineal clan stage in the process of human beings.Although their hands and feet have been separated long ago, their minds are still in a half-awake state. They still live in caves like wolves and foxes and other beasts, eat and compete with wild beasts, wear no clothes, act without shame, and talk. have been able to communicate with each other.Although there are not many languages ​​they can communicate at this time, the large number of people living in groups has created conditions for their language communication.In this embryonic state of man, man has lived through hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, and in their countless struggles with nature and beasts, voice and gesture have facilitated their mutual communication. .Therefore, verbal communication has a longer history than writing.Why is it said that the Jiang clan is in the matrilineal clan stage?This is a natural choice. After a long-term foraging career and constant fighting with wild animals and animals, people have formed a vague understanding. They feel that if human beings want to survive, living in groups is necessary. Only when there are more people can they live in groups. Don't go extinct in the face of wild beasts.The increase in the number of people can only rely on women to give birth to children.Therefore, the knowledge of quantity makes human beings different from beasts. They worship the woman who can bear children as their god, and the woman who bears more becomes the patriarch of their clan.It was precisely because the new patriarch had given birth to many children that he defeated Hua Xu in one fell swoop and became the power figure of the Jiangshui clan.This understanding of the strength of a large number of people has already been formed in the most primitive society.But they don't know that in the end the truth is often in the hands of a few.Although Hua Xu was a loser in the fight for the patriarch, her son Fuxi made her the final winner.It is at this time that the power struggle between men and women has slowly begun to play out. The patriarch of the Xinjiang clan said: "I've been watching for a long time. Suiren and Fuxi made another great contribution, and the others also made some small contributions for bravely defending the cave. Let's go into the cave together and explain the situation to me in detail. " People from all the caves had already arrived one after another because they received the news from the tree ropes, and they all gathered in front of the cave. It looked like a big black and white scene, there were five or six hundred people, how could they all fit in one cave!Therefore, those who participated in the battle with the rhinoceros and the cave masters of the various caves entered the cave with the patriarch, and the rest could only stand outside the cave.Xin Jiang took a seat in the middle and said: "Suiren and Fuxi are worthy of being warriors of our clan. Suiren fights two oxen. Fuxi thought of this method of using a rope to report a letter, and tied three oxen with Suiren. The two made great achievements. Otherwise, my Jiang clan will suffer even greater harm. This struggle with the cattle is over, how about our casualties?" Some people in the cave raised their fingers, and some people checked the number. Fuxi turned around and said, "Seven people were killed, and nine and two people were injured. At that time, human beings did not have the concept of the decimal system. When the counting method reached nine, it would be counted again. Suiren also injured." The Xin Jiang family was silent for a moment and said: "Five cows killed and injured so many people in my clan, the price is too great! Alas! The Jiang clan has lived here for more than ten generations since their ancestors, and they have lived in the cave for generations. Every time we fight with wild animals, there are always heavy casualties. We women have worked hard to give birth to children, and after a long time they grow up, but they are gone in an instant. How sad! This damned bison! Let the bison be executed!" Xin Jiang said, his eyes were moist, his mouth was trembling, and his hands and feet were dancing wildly. After hearing this, Fuxi sighed and said, "Patriarch, the reason for the heavy casualties is that the cave was crowded with people and there was no room for maneuver. I once said in the past that the clan members should be moved to the plains, but it was rejected by everyone. It is only because we live in caves that we are in trouble today!" But Suiren immediately retorted: "It's not safe to live in a cave, how can we survive on the plain?" Fuxi replied: "The high mountains, the forests and the ravines are all places where wild animals come and go. The plains are open, and those ferocious wild animals are less likely to go there, so it will be much safer." Suiren asked, "We all rely on hunting for our survival. If there are no wild animals, what will we eat?" Fuxi replied: "In ancient times, in order to survive, men hunted and women gathered. Gathering is also the way of life! Besides, wild animals in the plains are generally sheep, elk, hares and the like. They eat grass and are friendly to humans. You can also donate food!" Suiren laughed twice and said: "There must be trees for gathering, and there are forests if there are trees, and there are beasts if there are forests. Who said that those tigers and wolves don't go to the plains, anyway, I have seen them in the plains. In short, as long as there are forests , there will be wild beasts. Whether it is a high mountain or a plain, if a person wants to live, he must have food, and if he wants to eat, he must fight wild beasts!" The patriarch of the Xinjiang Clan took up the words and said: "The theory of Suiren is reasonable. If people can live in the plains, why didn't the predecessors go? We still live in this natural cave? Back then, our ancestors didn't know where to go. After passing through many mountains and rivers, they finally came to Qishan, found these caves and settled down. Didn’t they ever think about staying on the plain where there are few wild animals? They must have thought about it, done it, and even died of starvation. I gave up the plains and came to the cave. Don’t talk about this matter in the future. It’s been raining continuously these days, even the wild animals are hard to find, and the people of the tribe are starving to death. Fuxi, you are still responsible for bringing these big cows and small animals to the cave. All the cattle were slaughtered, and the beef was divided equally among each person and a piece of land! In addition, there were a few dead people. It would be a pity to throw them away and bury them. Now there is a shortage of food in the cave, so I think they should be divided to eat. !" That Fuxi looked much younger, he was much taller than Suiren, and his eyes were brighter.But when he heard the words of the patriarch of the Xinjiang clan, he frowned and said: "It doesn't matter if the cattle are divided, as for the dead, I don't think they should be divided any more. We are all clansmen and we are together every day." , can you swallow their meat?" The patriarch of the Xin Jiang clan glanced at him and said, "Haven't you eaten it? In the future, this group of beasts will not be able to hunt prey, and few people will die of starvation. In the end, the people who died of starvation will be eaten separately?" In order for the clan to survive collectively, eating a few people is no big deal!" Fuxi still shook his head and said, "That was when we had no other choice. Now that there are five cows, there is no need to eat people." After hearing this, the patriarch of the Xinjiang clan sternly said: "Am I the patriarch or are you the patriarch? Doesn't it count if I say it?" After speaking, he gave Fuxi a look. Fuxi didn't make a sound anymore.Xin Jiang said: "Let's do it like this." The Xinjiang family and other clansmen dispersed.Fuxi ordered a group of men to beat the two big rhinos and the dead men to death with stone knives or sticks, and divided them equally among the clansmen in each cave according to Jiang's intention.But the little rhinos were secretly pulled to a lawn not far from the cave, and the calves were tied with ropes.And went to get some weeds to make food for the calf. At this time, the sky unexpectedly cleared, the sun appeared in the sky, and the earth also lit up.But Fuxi was in a bad mood, so he walked up a hill by himself and sat down on a rock to meditate.Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, so he stood up and looked around. When he saw his younger sister Nuwa walking towards him, he called Nuwa to sit down with him.That Nuwa looks very handsome: long face, high nose, bright eyes, although the figure is a little shorter than Fuxi, but the outline is curved and straight, looks very moving; the voice is also very pleasant.Nuwa said, "Fuxi, why are you here again?" Fuxi sighed and said, "I'm in a bad mood today. I did a lot of things, but I was told by the patriarch and Suiren." Nuwa thought for a while and said, "Perhaps... oh! The patriarch is also thinking of the whole clan!" Fuxi said: "I know this too, but my ideas are always different from theirs. Think about it, we are human after all! Why do we act like those wild animals? Our hands can use and make some stone tools and tools. Woodenware, we also think about some things, these are the differences between humans and those beasts! So I have been saying that humans should also have humanity. If humans feed on each other, what is the difference between us and tigers and wolves? What's more, we haven't seen tigers eating tigers, and wolves eating wolves, alas! Man cannibalism, it's so cruel!" Nuwa laughed and said, "Brother is worthy of being a child conceived by a mother stepping on the footsteps of adults, but he is different from ordinary people and thinks strange things." After hearing this, Fuxi said impatiently: "It's okay, it's okay, you will always comfort me. I've thought so much, but it's actually for the sake of my clansmen? But no one listens to me?" But Nu Wa said simply and honestly: "That's because you are not the patriarch!" Fuxi also laughed, and said, "How can I become the patriarch? I can't have children. Since ancient times, the patriarch has been held by your women? Only those who can bear children can be the patriarch!" These words made Nuwa ponder, she murmured: "But yes, why can't you men become patriarchs? Who made this rule?" Fuxi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's born like this! However, I think it doesn't matter who is the patriarch, as long as it's right, it's fine. But now I have raised many ideas, but no one listens to them." what!" Nuwa said: "I know this, so you often have verbal disputes with the Suiren and the patriarch! Sometimes I listen to it and think you are right! But the patriarch just doesn't agree with your statement. In addition, I I also have a lot of thoughts, and I am panicking in my heart. But I said, it will be the same as your result, and the patriarch will not listen!" When Fuxi heard this, he immediately became interested, leaned closer to Nuwa, and said, "My good sister, tell me first, maybe we both think the same!" Nüwa said: "I'm thinking about men and women mating and having children. Have you ever been to the copulation cave where men and women of the clan mate?" Fuxi shook his head and said: "I have never been there. I have never been interested in the affairs of men and women, and I have no impression of the intercourse cave. A few days ago, the Suiren came to me and said that he would take me to the intercourse cave. I'm not young anymore, I'm almost an adult, and I should know something about men and women. What is it about men and women? I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. At this time, I might as well make some tree ropes, catch a few small The sheep and deer are here to play!" Nu Wa heard this, but her face darkened and she said: "Sooner or later, I will understand. Because it is my turn soon. When I was young, my mother was called there once. I was curious, so I followed behind to see. That copulation hole is not a good place!" One sentence made Fuxi's eyes widen.Nuwa continued: "I saw men riding on women in the coitus cave. Sometimes there was one man, sometimes several people. Mother screamed miserably, but she was held down by those men and moved. No...the copulation hole is a mess. In that place, men and women are doing the same thing. I was so disgusted and vomited. Once I asked my mother, she had a very ugly face and told me, let me leave It’s far away there, and I’m not allowed to go there anymore. Brother, tell me, why do men and women have to mate? After I saw it, I felt that I would definitely not be able to bear it in the future.” Fuxi asked strangely: "But why?" Nuwa's face darkened, tears flashed in her eyes, and she said, "When a man mates with his mother, the mother's face is very ugly. The voice is also screaming like being stabbed by a stone knife. I think this man sometimes really Like beasts, they mate regardless of the life of the woman. The mother is naturally beautiful, and men want to match her, how can she bear it. " Fu Xi listened, but did not speak.His eyes seemed to be looking into the distance.Nuwa patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking? Why don't you speak?" Fuxi was stunned for a moment before he said: "I just heard that not everyone goes to this copulation cave every day. The mating of men and women is not random. Our Jiang clan is composed of five clans. This copulation cave It is a place where men and women of different clans mate. Men and women of the same clan cannot appear in that place at the same time. The Jiang clan has the most and the most prosperous people, so people from the Jiang clan have always been the patriarchs of the five clans. I I also heard from my mother that this is called mating outside the clan. People within the clan are not allowed to mate!" Nuwa's face became more gloomy, and she glanced at Fuxi before asking, "Why? Brother, are we two in the clan?" Fuxi smiled and said, "We are not only members of the clan, we are also brothers and sisters!" Nuwa pouted her mouth high.All of a sudden, she bent down and grabbed some dirt to smear on her face. After a while, her pretty face turned into a painted face.Fuxi looked at her and smiled, and asked, "What are you doing?" Nuwa asked, "Brother Fuxi, do you think I'm good-looking?" Fuxi said: "It's pretty, don't you usually say that you look like your mother the most. Mother is the most beautiful woman in our Jiang clan!" Nuwa said, "I don't mean normal, I mean now." Fuxi thought for a while, then smiled: "Now, now you look similar to that rhinoceros!" But Nuwa said: "Really, if only I looked like a rhinoceros." Fuxi asked strangely: "Why do you have such an idea?" Nuwa said: "Mating and giving birth, you said that if women do these things, what if they become the patriarch in the future? I think being a woman is not as good as being a man. Look at the day when you fought with the Suiren and the rhinoceros What a majestic, heroic, and heroic appearance!" Nuwa showed an envious expression after finishing speaking. But Fuxi said: "Men and women are born differently. Men are stronger than women, so they have to do some powerful work. We have lived in this cave for a long time, but women have always picked it." The other job of men is to guard these caves and protect you women. Women also have another job, but this job is the most important for women, and that is to have children. There is a common job between men and women, and that is mating, but you and I are still young and don’t understand those things, that’s for the future.” Nuwa took a deep look at Fuxi and said, "But this matter is getting closer and closer to me, and I am getting more and more afraid!" Fuxi widened his eyes and asked, "What's going on!" Nüwa said: "One day, Patriarch Jiang came to find his mother and whispered to her that several other people in the cave had taken a fancy to me and wanted to mate with me in advance. He said that if you give birth early, you will have more children. If there are more children, I may also become the patriarch. The patriarch has approached his mother several times, and my mother asked me, but I disagree!" Fuxi frowned and shook his head again: "I...I don't know much about this matter. Mating... Since women are born to do it, you should go!" After hearing this, Nuwa looked very angry, and said with wide eyes, "If I want to go with you, I won't go! I won't do it if I mate with those ugly-looking people that I don't like." !" Seeing that Nuwa was furious, Fuxi was a little silly. The corners of his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said: "Then... what did mother say?" Nüwa said: "My mother also didn't agree with me going, she rejected the patriarch's words. The patriarch was very angry, and when he left, he told my mother that she would personally lead me to the copulation hole when she came here. Brother Fuxi, you say that I What should I do?" Fuxi murmured: "Yes, if this is the case, it should be changed." Nuwa pushed Fuxi with her hand and asked, "Brother Fuxi, what are you talking about?" Fuxi said: "I'm thinking, what you said seems to be not your own matter, but a common phenomenon in our clan, and you are not the only one who has such a thing. Since some people are unwilling, in fact That’s what should change.” Nuwa nodded.She suddenly took Fuxi's hand with her hand, and her eyes radiated a lot of light and said, "Fuxi, let me ask you something, if I only want to mate with you and others don't allow it, what should you do?" Fuxi said: "Impossible, you and I are brother and sister, how can we mate?" Nuwa said: "I'm making an analogy! Suppose you are a foreigner, not my elder brother, and I just want to mate with you. Unlike other women, as long as a man outside the tribe can mate with her. But, My way of thinking is not allowed by the patriarch or other men, I went to find you, what will you do?" Seeing that Nuwa said it very seriously, not as a joke, Fuxi said solemnly: "If this is the case, and if I like you, of course I will try my best not to let others touch you, of course, let alone Let others mate with you!" Nuwa let out a long breath and said, "It would be great if it could be done like this!" It was getting dark, Fuxi and Nuwa went down the mountain to the cave, saw the Suiren wandering around, seemed to be thinking about it, so they walked over.Sui Ren said: "Fuxi, the distribution of cattle and people is not right. There are five cows and five or six people. Why does each person only share a small amount of meat?" Fuxi said angrily: "Since you don't believe me, why don't you divide it, why do you want me to divide it?" Suiren smiled and said, "I really want to share, but I'm not as smart as you as a child when it comes to counting. Besides, you like to think about things, check numbers, watch animals, and listen to birds and beasts since you were young." It’s a errand assigned to you by the clan, so it’s up to you to share it.” Fu Xi said: "Since it's my job, how I divide it and how much I get is out of your control!" Suiren glared at him and said, "You brat, you've grown up, and you're a bit disrespectful. Let me tell you, I saved your mother, and I also saved you when you were young." Fuxi said: "That's all right, all right, don't always talk about doing something good, my mother will tell me." After finishing speaking, Fuxi didn't care about Suiren, and went back to the cave where he lived with Nuwa. In the cave, Fuxi and Nuwa met their mother Huaxu.This is a dignified and very charming woman, with a fair face and bright eyes.Hua Xu saw Fuxi's expression was not good, so he asked, "Xi'er, what's wrong with you, did someone make you angry again?" Fuxi said angrily: "It's not Suiren yet, he actually said that my distribution is wrong!" Hua Xu smiled, pointed to the ground with his finger, and told Fuxi and Nuwa to sit down.Only then did he ask: "Then what is the right thing for you? Did you secretly raise those calves again?" This made Fuxi laugh out loud.He looked into Hua Xu's eyes and said, "I really can't hide anything from my mother! Everything I think is in your heart!" Hua Xu said: "Of course, you are my son! But son, there are some things that mother must tell you. Don't make any trouble with Suiren anymore! This one, Suiren is not from our family, but he is responsible for it." He is the guard of our clan, he is the general guard of our Jiang clan! Second, Suiren is also the person my mother respects the most. He saved my mother’s life, and you saved your life when you were young. Suiren For us, that is a benefactor." After hearing this, Nuwa interrupted and said: "Mother, Fuxi and I always heard you say that Suiren is a benefactor, and Suiren is a benefactor, but how did he save you and my brother? Let's talk about it in detail, shall we?" Hua Xu looked at Fuxi, who also nodded. Hua Xu said: "Well, since you two children really want to listen, I will tell you about this matter, but you must remember that you must respect the benefactor of Suiren." Both Fuxi and Nuwa nodded . Hua Xu closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "It's been a long time since Suiren saved me. At that time, none of you were even born. As for me and a group of women, there is Xuan Jiang, and Aunt Qiang, I went to pick fruit in the woods, but I met two wild leopards on the way back. The wild leopards may also come out to find food, so they took us as food in their mouths, and threw me and Xuan Jiang down. When there was nowhere to ask for help, a young man rushed up. This man was extremely brave, with great strength and hard fists. He fought with the leopard that tore me, and finally knocked down the leopard that tore me. Can tear Xuan Jiang Seeing that the leopard that came with me was no match for Suiren, it rushed to my side. The two leopards circled around Suiren like crazy, barking, biting, and yelling. He used his paws to plan and sweep with his tail, but the Suiren was not afraid at all, and he became more and more courageous as he fought. Later, the Suiren and the two leopards finally fought together, even though the Suiren's shoulders and back were injured. The leopard was scratched and covered in blood. He finally killed one of them first, and the other got anxious and bit Suiren's left leg tightly with its mouth. Of course, he was still beaten to death by Suiren's fist in the end. Yes. Now Suiren is still a little limp when he walks, it’s because of saving me that time.” Fuxi and Nuwa looked at each other, and Nuwa said, "It's so thrilling and heroic! Suiren is so powerful!" Fuxi also said: "Suiren is indeed the most outstanding man in our clan!" Hua Xu continued: "Actually, at that time, the Suiren hadn't joined our clan, and he brought their clan members out to find a place to live. At that time, the weather seemed to be hotter than now, and the ice on the mountains It melted, and there are water streams and lakes all over the place. The people living in the lower places will be washed away by the water if they are not careful. Some people are still together during the day, but they are never seen again after a day. They are either The flood swept away, or was eaten by wild animals. The clan of the Suiren came to us from the far lower places, and there were many of them. The Suiren rescued me. They brought them to us. At that time, the old patriarch was still alive, she saw that the Suiren were strong, so she left them behind. In this way, the Suiren also joined our Jiang clan." Fuxi asked, "How did the Suiren save me?" Hua Xu thought for a while and said: "After Suiren came to our Jiang clan, he gradually became the strongest and most heroic man here. The patriarch valued him very, very much, and everything he said and did would be echoed. Later I knew , in fact, it is not his wish that the Suiren clan stay here with us, and he has always wanted to find a place outside that is more suitable for human survival..." "Oh..." Hearing this, Fuxi perked up. Hua Xu continued: "For this purpose, he once sent two groups of loyal and reliable people to search, but those two groups of people never came back after they went out. Suiren told me: 'These two groups of people must be They are all dead, I killed them.” But even so, Suiren didn’t give up, he decided to go out to find it by himself, and I wanted to go with him, so he proposed to the patriarch that women’s picking and men’s hunting should be carried out at the same time. , with the consent of the patriarch. So, I and the Suiren led the picking team and the hunting team to search around Qishan Mountain, but after a long time, we couldn't find a better place. Continue to live in this cave." Hearing this, Fuxi said: "I understand. Why Suiren always opposes me going out to create another world is because he is afraid that I won't come back if I go out!" Hua Xu sighed and said, "You're right to understand him this way. He thinks that you are still young and not sure of surviving. He resolutely opposes what you proposed, definitely out of love for you. what!" Fuxi asked: "Then why is he so kind to me?" Hua Xu turned his face to one side, and said softly: "Suiren is not only good to you, he treats everyone in the tribe the same, but after you were born, you seem to be more promising than other boys. , he likes you better." Fuxi nodded and said, "Then how did he save me?" Hua Xu said: "When you were young, you liked all kinds of animals that Suiren hunted, especially the live animals he caught, such as calves, lambs, pigs, and rabbits. Wait. Suiren knows you like it, but in fact he captured those living things for you to play with. Unexpectedly, Suiren once captured a little black bear. This little thing is full of naivety, and its walking posture is very cute. You liked it very much when you saw it. You played with this little bear for two days, but something happened on the third day." Fu Xi asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" Hua Xu said: "On the third day, two big black bears came to the door. At that time, you were playing with the little black bear outside the cave. Suiren and I watched you play, because you and the little bear were so funny. ，那两只大黑熊到了跟前我们也没看见。这两只熊就是来找小熊的，它们看见你和小熊抱着玩，一只大熊就倏地窜上来抱着小熊想跑。可这个时候，小熊正抱着你呢，而你呢也正紧紧地抱着小熊。大黑熊一边跑还一边掰你的小手，这样跑下去，你不摔死或者摔坏才怪呢。当时，我都傻了，还是燧人反应快，他几个箭步就冲了上去。另一只大黑熊可能以为燧人要与那只大黑熊打斗，就冲了上来，挡住燧人的路。说来也怪，燧人竟然绕开这只熊跑过去，在那只熊没把你摔下来以前接住了你。多险啊！到现在想起来我还后怕呢！”华胥说着，不自觉地用双手将脸蒙上，可能当时那一幕正清清楚楚出现在她的眼前。 伏羲也闭上了眼睛，极力回忆母亲说的事，他恍恍惚惚之中，也觉得有一个不大的孩子与一只小黑熊抱在一起被摔的荡来荡去，孩子似乎是哭了，最后到了一个大男人的怀抱。伏羲正想着，觉得有人抓住自己的手，他睁开眼睛，看见女娲正用奇怪的眼神望着他。 女娲问：“伏羲兄，你怎么了？” 伏羲晃晃头道：“没怎么，我恍惚中想起来确实是有这事的。” 华胥抬起头来问：“孩子，你也想起来了？”伏羲点点头。 华胥道：“想起来就好，想起来就好啊！想起来你就能理解了燧人的苦心了。” 伏羲道：“是啊！我以后会尊重他的，再也不和他争吵了！” 华胥听了，脸上露出了笑容，道：“那倒是不必。燧人倒是很喜欢你与他争论一些事情的。他说，只有在争论中，人的思想才能活跃起来。他说在与你一般大小的孩子当中，你将来一定是最有出息的。” 伏羲听了沉默起来，他最终还是点点头，又问道：“母亲，我还有一件事情不明白，一直想问你，可……可我怕你说我还小，我现在是不是不小了？” 华胥道：“是啊，我的孩子要成人了！” 伏羲道：“我听说，我是母亲履大人迹怀了十三载才出生的。母亲，你告诉我，这履大人迹是什么意思啊？” 听了此问，华胥脸色变得沉静起来，她的眼睛不再看伏羲，似是呆呆地望着远方，嘴上自言自语：“履大人迹……履大人迹……” “对！”伏羲道，“我早就听说我是你踩了大人的脚印而生的。你告诉我究竟是怎么一回事啊！” 在华胥的眼前，出现了一个蓝色的湖泽，出现了清澈的湖水。在湖水岸边，出现了一排大人的脚印。她清楚地记得，那时，她还很小，她是跟着宣姜和羌姨出去采果子的。她在用自己的小脚来对比那大人巨大的脚印。这时，在两个脚印之间突然出现了彩虹。然后，她和宣姜、羌姨来到湖边，在湖水里看自己的影子。是宣姜和羌姨进入水中，把她的影子打乱，她要好好地看看自己的模样，就离开她们很远。在一处悬崖边，她竟然真的遇见了一个大人，那么高，手那么大，眼睛那么亮。那个大人竟然把她从水中抓出来，然后……大人却没有吃她。不知道什么时候走了，竟然没看见宣姜和羌姨。从此以后，她对大人非常非常地恐惧，一想到他就害怕，以后，就遇见了自己一生中最敬重的人——燧人。是燧人改变了她的恐惧，是燧人给她的生命注入了新的色彩！ 华胥和大人的事只有一个人知道，那就是已经死去的老族长。是老族长给了她和燧人单独接触的更多的机会。老族长一直想让她接替自己姜氏族长的位子。在听说了她和大人的奇遇后更加重了这个信念。因为老族长说，大人是真正的神，她和大人的孩子是上天赏赐给姜氏氏族一个神的后代。于是她下令不许其他的男人接近，直到她生下这个孩子为止，还让燧人保护她。 于是，华胥和燧人有了更多的接触和交流。那个时候，燧人氏族还不懂姜氏氏族的语言，华胥就教给燧人姜氏族人的语言。燧人很聪明，很勤奋，学得也很快。她和燧人去过很多的地方，他们去过一片绿色的旷野，那是一个叫蓝田的地方，用燧人的话说，就是蓝天和大地之意。他们还去过另一处有山有河、有湖有泽、有花有鸟的地方，燧人也给那个地方起了一个名字，叫做渭水，也是一条像姜水一样波澜壮阔的大河流。 那是在燧人救了她不久以后，她由对这个汉子的钦佩和敬重产生了爱意，她和燧人一起去寻找食物。燧人为她采果子，她也跟着燧人学习狩猎。燧人从树上劈下一个粗枝，用尖锐的石片把木棒的一边削成尖形，把这只尖棍递给华胥。然后教她怎么样扔这支尖棒去扎那些野兽。那一日，她与燧人来到了渭水，见到有一群糜鹿经过这里，燧人立即叫她将尖棒抛出，她看着这一群美丽的动物对燧人说：“这鹿这么好看，真的把它们扎死，多么可惜啊！”燧人却道：“就你扔尖棒的那两下子还未必能扎着它们呢！”华胥道：“你不相信我？”燧人点点头。华胥将他手中的尖棒取过，瞄准一只鹿，用力抛了过去。谁知这棒正好扎在一只鹿的脖子上，那只鹿竟然倒地而死。华胥跑到鹿的跟前，看见鹿身上的一滩血，眼泪禁不住流了下来，她用手不断地锤打燧人的肩膀，燧人竟是哈哈大笑。他突然将华胥抱起来，大踏步地向渭水旁边的树林中走去…… “母亲，你说啊，什么叫履大人迹？”华胥的思绪被女娲的叫声惊醒，女娲一边用手推她一边与伏羲说：“母亲怎么了，好像是睡着了。” 华胥浅笑道：“我没有睡着，我在回想那段事。那是一次我去蓝田采摘果子的途中，我看见有一排很大的脚印出现在我的前面。这排脚印长得和人的脚印一般模样，就是比人的脚印大了好几成，一个脚印有六七个人脚印那般大小。我感到好奇和好玩，就光着脚顺着大人的脚印走。可是刚刚走完，就看见有一条五光十色的彩虹出现在前面。最奇怪的是，这条彩虹直向我射来，围绕我转了几圈，又五彩缤纷地回到了大人的脚印处。不知怎地，我立即有了一种异样的感觉。回到部族以后我将此事告诉了姜氏族长，族长竟然告诉我说，我有身孕了。” 伏羲听了点头道：“我懂了。” 女娲道：“母亲，我也懂了。既然履大人迹也可以生孩子，为什么男人和女人还要交配生孩子呢？母亲，我决定了，绝不听那个什么族长的话，如果她一定要让去媾交洞和男人交配，一定要让我生孩子的话，我也去履大人迹去。” 华胥有些吃惊了，她怔怔地看着女娲道：“孩子，履大人迹，不是谁想碰上就碰上的，也可能是多长的时日也遇不上啊！” 女娲却道：“怎么遇不上，母亲，只要你告诉我你履大人迹那个地方，我也去履一履不是就得了。那个地方，不会离这里太远吧！”说到这里，女娲站起来，竟然围着华胥和伏羲转了几圈，兴高采烈地道：“说不准，我也能碰见彩虹绕身呢！” 华胥叹了一口气道：“看你这孩子！” 谁想女娲又问道：“母亲，我还有一件事要问你，你告诉我，我与伏羲真的是亲兄妹吗？” 华胥道：“对啊！那还能错吗！我就生下你们两个孩子。开始的时候，族长见我生得美丽，本想把族长的位置传给我，可我生的孩子太少，便失去了资格。咳！不当族长也罢，有你们两个聪明绝顶的孩子，我就知足了。” 伏羲听妹妹女娲和母亲一对一答，一直没有吭声，他的眼睛似是在向什么地方张望。女娲顺着他的目光看去，原来他在看洞穴的顶部。女娲不解，就用手拍拍他的肩膀问道：“伏羲，你在想什么？”伏羲好像被女娲叫醒了一般，他晃晃头问：“母亲，你见过大人吗？那大人究竟能有多大啊？是不是比这洞穴顶还要高啊？” 那华胥被伏羲问得愣了一下，半晌才道：“我没有见过大人，只是以前听人们说过。说以前的人比现在的人个子要高出很多。最高的人比现在人六七个加在一起还要高。我听说，那些个头高大的人都是巨人，他们一迈步就能过去一座小山，一大跳就能蹦过一条河流。可是，为什么现在大人见不着了，我也不懂啊！” 伏羲见母亲回答不了，也就不再问。 晚上，伏羲和女娲都睡了，可华胥却再也睡不着了。伏羲和女娲提出的问题，将她长期以来压在心底的很多事惊醒，惊醒了的过去不时地冲到她的眼帘，冲击她的脑海。她辗转反侧，浮想联翩。她知道，在有些地方，她是骗了孩子的，可是现在，她又不能不骗孩子。那是她的一个噩梦和一个美梦。她要彻底地忘掉湖泽边的那个噩梦，她想永远记住她和燧人之间创造的美梦，她也不得不这样做。也许将来有一天，她会告诉孩子们真相的，可是那不是现在，而是将来以后的某一天。 华胥和燧人之间，有一个美丽的过去，美丽的传说，甚至是一个美丽的神话。有这么多的美丽跟着，即便是骗了人，也是心甘情愿了。 很多年以前，在渭水的那片树林里，燧人与华胥翻云覆雨般地激情过后，燧人被华胥美丽的身材所征服。而华胥呢，也被燧人的强壮和野性所震撼。两人身上流着汗，眼睛中传递着深情和爱意。华胥初次尝到了身体和情感结合的伟大力量，竟然对燧人道：“燧人，这是我人生的初次，我把它给了你，你要对得起我啊！” 燧人的眼中放射出无限的光泽来，可又很快黯淡下去，问道：“你不是履大人迹怀孕了吗？” 华胥脸色红晕，道：“这你也信啊！你让哪个履大人迹的人看看，走一次大人的脚印，从彩虹中穿过，能不能怀孕啊？” 燧人想了想，点点头道：“也是，履大人迹怎么可能怀孕呢？那为什么会有这样一个神话呢？” 华胥郑重其事地道：“我看待事情，和别人不同。女人为族长的母系氏族，有好处，也有坏处！好处是：我们女人说了话可以比男人有分量。坏处是：女人生的孩子，是永远只有一个母亲的孩子。我小时候，曾经问过母亲，是她和谁交配最后生了我？可是我的母亲回答不了。她说，那是很多个男人，究竟我是哪个男人的孩子，她也不知道。我觉得这很悲哀：一个孩子，怎么可以只知道谁生了他，却不知道他是怎么来的呢？我觉得人除了有母亲以外，还应该有另外一个人，那就是他的父亲。如果一个女人不和其他的男人交配，而只和一个男子交配，是不是孩子就有了父亲呢？” 燧人听了，神采飞扬地道：“你的这个想法真是很特别，有创意，很美丽，也很动人。一个孩子，如果他又有母亲，又有父亲，那该是多好的事啊！” 华胥道：“所以我想我的孩子，应该是既有母亲、又有父亲的孩子！” 燧人道：“所以，你不愿意和更多的男子交配，只想和一个人交配生子，让孩子既有母亲，又有父亲，就编造了这个履大人迹的神话！” 华胥却说：“不是编造，履大人迹和彩虹绕身都是真的。宣姜和羌姨都是看见的，只不过碰巧让我赶上了，又碰巧遇上了你，你救了我！” 燧人道：“我相信你了！我以后绝不再沾染别的女人，让你是我唯一的一个。我们要让我们的孩子有母亲，也有父亲。你的想法，是在创造人类的一个新奇迹！” 华胥心情豁然开朗起来，道：“我也是，我也绝不再让其他的任何男人碰我一下。你也知道，别人也是不能碰我的。” 在这番山盟海誓之中，燧人的眼光闪过一次光亮又很快黯淡下来。他道：“我知道，我们部落里有很多男子早已垂涎你的美色。我曾经听他们说过，他们想不听族长的话，说族长大了，脑袋懵了。他们可能要强行与你交配呢！其实你的想法很对，这种杂乱的交配不是好事。原来我们氏族的一个比较俊俏的女孩子，就在她初次与男人交配的过程中，因每个男人都要配她，甚至于是轮番的交配，结果造成女孩子下面大出血而亡。这是很悲惨的事情啊！” 华胥道：“我不是有你保护吗？你不是我们氏族中最厉害的男人吗？再说，族长让我早些生孩子，有了孩子，我逐渐地就会成了新的族长，那个时候，就没有人再敢动我了。” 燧人问：“那你说，我们这次，你能怀上孕吗？如果怀上了，就不来血潮了。族长也就不来检查你了。那样，别的男人就真的不会碰你了！” 华胥道：“如果能怀上就更好了。如果怀不上，我们还有履大人迹呢！” 燧人拍拍脑袋道：“对啊！履大人迹，怀的孩子出生时间也应该长吧！再说了，只要是你不去那个媾交洞，我们还有很多的时间在一起，怎么还能怀不上呢！” 华胥一听更高兴了：“好，不过，我不去媾交洞，你也不许去。” 燧人点头道：“我绝对不去！有了你，我还去那里干什么呢？” 可是，无论燧人和华胥怎么努力，华胥却觉得一直没怀孕，因为她的肚子总是不长大。还有更为奇怪的事情也发生了，华胥觉得没怀上也就罢了，可是她的血潮也从此没有了。这不但让燧人着急，让华胥着急，就连族长也着了急。 原来，老族长是想等华胥生下孩子以后，把氏族族长的职权交给华胥或者交给这个孩子。自己老了，也不能把这个姜氏氏族的吃住情况引向更好的境界。可现在，等了这么长的时间也没有等到结果，就在她临死之际，也只好按着以前氏族族长接替的习惯，将族长位置传给生孩子最多的女人，就是现在的那个新姜氏族长。这个族长的名字叫后姜。 这个后姜，是个权力欲望极大的女人，她为了抢族长的位置，就不断地与男人交配生孩子。当老族长看好华胥时，她虽然不大，可已经是两个孩子的母亲了，那个时候她听说族长有意将族长之位让给华胥或者是华胥的孩子，她就有些急了，可族长并不中意她，她没有办法。最让她气恼的是，她也看上了燧人，可是燧人自从成了华胥的特别护卫后，就不理她了，这使她对华胥非常恼火。她便偷偷地注意华胥和燧人的举动。可燧人和华胥去的地方不定，短时间内也抓不到什么把柄。她当上族长以后，也不能立刻违背了原来老族长的说法，派人监视燧人和华胥。可巧的是，当她发现了华胥和燧人关系的时候，华胥竟然怀孕了，她的肚子也大了。她亲自派人盯着华胥血潮的情况，也确实发现华胥没有来潮。这就又救了华胥。这个时候，后姜已经是五个男孩和七个女孩的母亲了。 后姜将燧人和华胥叫来，看着华胥隆起的肚子问道：“华胥，你这个肚子好啊，怀孕这么久才长这么大。你可知道，在你的肚子长这么大的过程中，我的肚子长得比你大而且来回都有十次了。为什么呢？你是以前没有怀孕而装怀孕的是吗？” 华胥争辩道：“不是，我从那次怀孕到现在，一直没有来过血潮，族长你说，我是真怀孕还是假怀孕啊？” 后姜将眼迷成一条缝道：“没来过血潮？谁能证明啊？” 华胥道：“这个，没有办法找人证明，但是来没来潮，我自己知道。”华胥说到这，突然想起一件事来，对后姜道：“我看，你就能证明吧！你不是让人偷偷地盯了我许久吗？” 后姜没词了。她转向了燧人道：“燧人，你以前曾经是整个部落的卫士，可现在，你却是华胥一个人的卫士了，为什么？” 燧人道：“老族长这样派我，我就这么做呗！” 后姜道：“这么说，你是很听族长话的人了？” 燧人笑着道：“那当然了！” 后姜哈哈大笑道：“那么从现在开始，你，就不再是华胥一个人的护卫，而仍然是部落的总护卫。你也不再是她华胥一个人的男人，还是部落中所有可以和你交配的女人的男人。当然，你也是我的男人。从现在起，你除了在狩猎的时间外，你就要到媾交洞去，接受和完成你与本族以外的任何其他氏族的女子应该完成的交配之事。”她又转过脸看着华胥道：“华胥呢，在你生完这个孩子以后，也要去那个媾交洞，接受其他氏族男子的交配。你们要知道，我们岐山山洞姜氏氏族的每一个人都有繁衍子孙壮大氏族的责任。华胥，我比你大不了多少吧，我都有五个男孩七个女孩了，可你竟然连一个还没生下来，是不是有点太对不起姜氏氏族了？” 这次，尽管燧人和华胥与后姜发生了很多争论，甚至于后来大吵了起来，也没有改变后姜的决定。两个人终于被分开了。那天晚上，燧人被人拉去陪了后姜，后来，每天晚上都得与其他男人一起到媾交洞去。华胥呢，终于在不久以后生了一个男孩。可是，就在她生下孩子不久的一天晚上，族长就派了几个人来，拉拉扯扯地将她硬带到了媾交洞。 媾交洞这个地方，是人类最早的男女聚会的场所。姜氏氏族中各个氏族的男人和女人，除了岁数小的小孩子之外，都要在这里行交配。岐山山洞姜氏部落，一共有五个氏族组成，一个姜姓氏族，四个外姓氏族。其中有三个是原来的姜老族长先辈带来的，另一个就是后来燧人带来的。每个氏族有百十余人，分住在不同的山洞里。岐山这个地方，天然的洞穴比较多，大都让他们这个姜氏氏族所占据。其中有一个洞穴，就是这个氏族中各个不同氏族男女用来交配的固定场所，时间长了，人们就给这里起了个通俗的名称——媾交洞。 原来人类较早期的男女交配就发生在同族父母和兄弟姐妹之间，一母有了儿女，儿女长大即可交配，甚至于母子之间也可以交配。同族各洞的男女基本上均有亲缘关系。只要有男女之别，不论长幼，均可以交配生子。这种情况就是原始社会初级阶段最古老的血缘杂交状态。这个岐山姜氏氏族已经走过了这个状态而进入到母系氏族族外人交配的阶段。也就是说，姜氏氏族已经脱离了最原始的血缘杂乱的交媾状态而进入到了族外群交制。媾交洞就是岐山姜氏氏族族外群交的固定场所。这个时候，人类还没有婚姻，只有交配。当母系氏族的女子长成到血潮来临的时候，便到这个固定的媾交洞去，与等待在那里的别的氏族的男子交配，有孕便回洞生产，生子女多者便成为洞主，最多的就成了氏族的首领。去媾交洞的女子既可与外族男子一人交配，也可与多人交配。可在那个场所等待者常常并非一个男子，一女若遇见多人便与多人交配，一场下来如得一场大病一般。 概括来说族外群交制有两种状态：多交制和单交制。多交制是不同氏族的多个男女在一起交配，单交制是一对男女在一段时间内只限于两个人的交配，后者与现代婚姻有明显的不同。单交制是说，今天在一起交配的对象和明天的对象可能是不同的，而现代婚姻是用法律形氏固定了交配对象。姜氏氏族则正处在多交制的混乱状态中。也正是因为这样，这个时候女子所生的子女只知其母却不知其父。 华胥被几个人连推带拉地跟着族长来到这个固定的交配场所——媾交洞，见这里站着外族的很多男人，这些人一个个像是红了眼，眼中放射出贪婪而又淫亵的光芒来。后姜道：“华胥，你想见见燧人吗？” 华胥听了连问道：“燧人，燧人在哪里？” 后姜一摇头，站在她前面的几个男人闪开，闪出一条缝来，华胥看见好几个女人抓着燧人大行交配之事，燧人的脸上、身上透着汗珠。华胥大喊道：“燧人！燧人！”燧人听到了华胥的喊叫声，头转了过来，可他的身体却被女人骑着，两臂和四肢皆被女人抓着，根本动弹不得。后姜哈哈大笑着说：“华胥，你与燧人躲避这个媾交洞躲了多久啊，由于以前的族长犯下的错误，说什么你履了大人迹，又被彩虹绕身感孕，这么久你才只生下一个孩子，我们以为你履大人迹生的孩子还不得是个大人哪，可看看你生的那个孩子和我们生的孩子大小也没有什么特别的区别啊！由此看来，是你与燧人合伙欺骗了老族长和我们大家。既然现在我们明白了，氏族公议了你们的事，做出了这样的决定：既然你们是在这媾交洞里欠了族人的，就要在这里补上。从现在开始，凡是姜氏外族人想与你交配的，就在这些天交配吧。你就只好忍受，谁让你欠族人的呢？” 后姜说完了，又大笑了两声，一挥手，那些等待在这里的外族男人便一拥而上，扯腿的扯腿，抓胳膊的抓胳膊，将华胥按在媾交洞里的一个平台上，男人们一个个淫笑着上来和华胥行交配之事。开始时，华胥还大喊着，反抗着，眼中涌满了泪水。后来，直到她嗓子嘶哑了，身体也不能动弹了，神情便完全麻木了…… 以后很长的时间里，燧人、华胥都要去履行这样的事，她和燧人那纯真的爱情变成了泡影，被无情地粉碎了。华胥曾经想到过死亡，是孩子给了她活下去的勇气。在这段时间里，华胥又生了一个特别好看的女儿。她看着自己的儿子和女儿一天天地长大，一天天地明白事理，一天天地受到更多人的喜爱，就连这个族长后姜，也觉得华胥这两个孩子特别是男孩和其他的孩子越来越显示出更多的不同。比方说，华胥生的这个男孩不大的时候就能查出从一到九这九个数来，这可是很多的成人们想做而做不到的。还有，这个男孩子竟然能把树皮拔下来做成了绳，用来捆绑那些抓来的活的野兽。而且还想出了一个用绳报信的法子，也就是说，用绳将各个部落的每个山洞连接起来，如果哪个山洞遇到野兽的袭击，就拉动绳索向其他山洞报信。还有就是对于抓回来的那些小羊小鹿小兔等动物，一般人都摆弄不了，他却能用绳索将它们拴住，过那么一两天再宰杀，这样就能给族人吃上活的新鲜的东西，为此，众人给他起了一个名字叫做庖牺，这
