Chapter 35 Host A Banquet
After walking out of the room, Tang Yu's temperament completely changed.
She put on a pair of small red leather boots and wore black tight trousers. She wore a white tights underneath her upper body and a cream-white trench coat over her buttocks.
She wore makeup and looked like a queen.
She held her head high and did not take much forward, but she walked very fast. Qin An could only follow closely behind him.
This woman's aura was too strong, and Qin An was ashamed of being inferior to her.
He went downstairs and went outside. There were quite a few people doing things in the village.
The men gathered together, washing their clothes and chatting happily.
The women were neatly dressed, carrying weapons in their hands as they practiced.
It looked peaceful.
When Tang Yu and Qin An appeared in front of them together, everyone looked at them with searching eyes. Qin An was embarrassed to be seen, but Tang Yu did not notice.
She walked to a woman's side and said a few words to her. The woman quickly left. In a short while, nearly two hundred women had gathered on the open space of the village.
Tang Yu proudly walked in front of them one by one, then pointed at Qin An and said loudly, "This man is a friend of mine before the apocalypse. He is very close. He stayed in my room for an entire night. I believe you all know what happened without me telling you."
All the women had smiles on their faces. One of the women shouted, "Did the Queen sleep him last night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter could be heard.
Qin An's face turned red as he thought to himself, "These women really think of themselves as men!"
Tang Yu didn't say anything, only glanced at Qin An with her bright eyes.
He then waved his hand to keep everyone quiet before saying, "Of course I'm asleep!" free(w)ebnovel.com
The women cheered.
Tang Yu waved her hand again and the girls fell silent.
She cleared her throat and continued, "But I don't want him to stay! Because I don't have the confidence to control him! That's why I'm sending him away! But he's my friend after all, and he's a sleeping friend, so I've decided to host a banquet today! Send my friend off! Do you agree?"
As soon as she finished speaking, all the women cheered in unison, and the men hiding at the side who were washing their clothes also had happy expressions on their faces.
Qin An looked at Tang Yu doubtfully, not knowing what the banquet meant.
Tang Yu said, "Alright, disband. You guys go prepare!"
As she spoke, the girls dispersed and ran to the rooms in the village.
When Qin An saw that someone had left, he approached Tang Yu and asked, "What does it mean to host a banquet, and why did you send me away?"
Tang Yu's face was flushed red. She seemed to be a little excited. After stabilizing her aura, she said, "Because I want to establish a woman-centered society!" This path will be very difficult to walk, but it is my ideal! The apocalypse brought me a lot of pain, but it also gave me a chance to build my own ideal world! Therefore, I cannot let you stay by my side, because I am the Queen, and I am the model for all my clansmen! I can't fall for any man! As long as you are a man, you must submit to my feet. Do you understand? "
Qin An looked into Tang Yu's eyes and said, "Did I make you fall in love?"
Tang Yu neither nodded nor shook her head. Instead, she asked, "Can you submit to my feet?"
Qin An hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
The two of them stood quietly like this. Qin An looked at Tang Yu, but Tang Yu's gaze fell into the distance.
Everyone in the village was busy. Some men entered each room and moved the tables and chairs out. They lined up in a few rows on the open space in the village.
Others began to put up large pots of cooking beside the open space.
Some men had already placed some cooked food on the plate and served it on the table.
These delicacies were actually ham sausage, pickled vegetables, peanuts, melon seeds, candy, sealed chicken claws, and so on. It was unknown which grocery store or supermarket they had collected them from.
After a busy afternoon, Qin An was taken away from Tang Yu and sat on a straw mat on the side of the open ground. The straw mat was directly placed on the ground.
Not long after, the men who had been locked up with Qin An were taken to the straw mat from the cave behind Sanli Village. Of course, Li Wenjie was one of them.
At this moment, they were all untied. Many people were very curious, not knowing what was going to happen.
Seeing Qin An, Li Wenjie seemed to be very happy. He jumped over and sat beside Qin An and shouted, "Brother, what did you do? What did they do to you?"
Qin An liked Li Wenjie's personality. He smiled at him and said, "My name is Qin An!"
Li Wenjie nodded and said, "So it's Brother Qin. I've heard so much about him!"
Then he leaned on Qin An's ear and said, "Brother Qin, these women treat this kind of activity as a ritual. You must hold on for a while!" Don't be tempted by them and become their clansmen! "I saw the banquet last time, but the dozen or so people who were captured with me betrayed me. Only I am a surviving man, not subdued by them!"
Qin An asked in surprise, "What is a banquet?"
Li Wenjie said, "You'll know later. It'll be meaningless if you say it out loud!"
At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and it was estimated to be four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Tang Yu, who had been separated from Qin An for a while, suddenly appeared again and walked in front of Qin An and the others.
She still looked at everyone like a queen, but did not look at Qin An.
After that, he said, "None of you are my clansmen, but after understanding you for a period of time, I believe that your conduct is not bad. Therefore, I will let you observe our banquet ceremony this time. After that, if you want to join us, you can become one of us. If you don't want to, then you can only continue to be locked up!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving behind a group of inexplicable men.
The sun continued to set in the west, and the afterglow of dusk shone down. The village was golden, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Many women were already sitting on tables and chairs, eating melon seeds and peanuts, chatting happily.
The men respectfully served their dishes to Zhuo Zai and then left.
On the other hand, they were sitting on the ground opposite the women's camp, squeezing together to eat.
Someone also brought food to Qin An and the others. Li Wenjie snatched two lunch boxes and handed one to Qin An. He opened another one and said, "It's cabbage fried rice again. I wonder where they got so much cabbage from!" After saying that, he started to eat.
Almost done eating. A man walked out of the men's camp. He picked up an empty basin and filled it with water. He placed it in the middle of the men's and women's camp. Then, he began to dance with a smile. After twisting it for a while, he knelt on the ground and looked at the women's camp.
Not long after, two girls walked out of the female camp. Their generous appearances were obviously not the first time they had participated in such a ceremony.
The two girls placed one foot in the basin, while the man knelt in front of them and washed their feet. When it was almost done, the man knelt on the ground and bowed to the woman. It looked very sacred and dignified. It was hard to imagine. At the very least, Qin An felt that he could not accept it. Finally, the two women pulled the man up and brought him into a nearby house.
Qin An was stunned when he saw this. Li Wenjie finally explained to him, "This is their banquet ceremony!" Since they are matrilineal societies, in order to ensure the status of women, they maintain the ratio of their population at one to two, that is, keep the number of women at more than double that of men. At present, they had more than 270 women, but only 80 men!
In their so-called ethnic group, there was no marriage, and men and women were separated.
Women are in charge, men are in charge of the arrangements. Men and women are not usually together.
The banquet was for everyone to eat together, three to four times a month, at the discretion of their Queen.
This was the end of the banquet.
A man would hold a basin and show off his dancing posture. Then, the woman he liked would come out and let the man wash her feet. After that, the man would kneel down to the woman. Isn't that hard to understand? This meant that the man was willing to submit to the woman's feet.
These women will bring men home!
In other words, women have complete choices, and each banquet can choose a different man.
The advantage for men is that because of the population ratio, a man can get two women at the same time!
"This is the rule set by their Queen. It is precisely because of this that these men are willing to submit to women and become part of this matriarchal society!"
Qin An was a little dumbfounded. Could this be a new social system that was brewed in the apocalypse?
Was it created by Tang Yu?
He suddenly realized something and asked, "How do you know so much?"
Li Wenjie said, "I heard it from Liu Jia when she was delivering the food. She also wanted to persuade me to join, so I naturally won't do it. I'm a man!" His tone was somewhat arrogant.
Time slowly passed. When all the men were brought home by the women, there were still more than 70 women left in the women's camp who had no choice.
At this time, Tang Yu walked over and said to Qin An and the others, "Is there anyone among you who is willing to join our tribe? If there is one, you can also attend our banquet tonight."
As she spoke, a man immediately raised his hand to join Qin An.
Then, they walked out one by one, kneeling at the feet of the woman like the men before, kowtowing very meekly, twice and three times at a time, and then being taken away by the woman.
In the end, Qin An and Li Wenjie were left on the field, and only Tang Yu and Liu Jia were left in the women's camp.
Liu Jia was the girl who used the incense to charm Qin An.
Tang Yu turned around and walked in front of Liu Jia, smiling and saying to her, "You haven't even found a man for the banquet these few times, is it because you like that person called Li Wenjie?"
Liu Jia blushed and lowered her head without saying anything.
Tang Yu sighed slightly and said, "That man is not bad. Unfortunately, he is unwilling to join us!"
After saying that, Tang Yu returned to Qin An and raised her head to Qin An, "What about you?"
Qin An's face was a little cold as he said, "How many men have you chosen before?"
Tang Yu smiled and said, "I am the Queen. Why would an ordinary man like me?"
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and a trace of tears appeared in her eyes. She looked at Qin An and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will let you leave. Can you make me your queen tonight?"
Qin An looked at Tang Yu and sighed in his heart. He did not understand Tang Yu's persistence.
Can he stay by Tang Yu's side and accompany her? He couldn't because Qin Xiaoyan was still waiting for him in Qin City.
Then could he convince Tang Yu to follow him? He couldn't either, because he could see Tang Yu's persistence.
In that case, all that was left was to sigh.
Qin An stood up, looked for an empty basin, filled it with water, and brought it to Tang Yu. Then, he took a stool and let Tang Yu sit down. After that, he squatted down and seriously washed Tang Yu's feet.
After washing the pair of soft feet clean, Qin An picked them up, then lowered his head and touched them with his forehead, as if he was kowtowing.
Li Wenjie, who was watching from the side, sighed endlessly and kept saying, "Brother Qin, I look after you well. You can't lose face to a man!"
Qin An ignored him. After expressing his obedience to Tang Yu gently and piously, Qin An carried Tang Yu back to the room they slept in last night.
On the bed, Qin An pressed Tang Yu's head into his embrace and felt her tears. Only then did he know that this woman loved to cry so much.
"Why are you so persistent? Aren't you tired? If you come with me, I promise to treat you well!"
In the dark night, Qin An felt that he had never spoken to a woman so affectionately and gently.
Tang Yu said after a long time, "I don't want it! You can leave tomorrow! I really don't love you! I haven't done it before, and I won't do it now! If you leave tomorrow, we won't have anything to do with each other anymore!"
As she spoke, she cried, breaking Qin An's heart.
This night in Sanli Village was destined not to be lonely.
In all the rooms, the men and women were releasing their most primitive passions.
On the open space in the center of the village, only Li Wenjie, who was sitting on the ground complaining, and Liu Jia, who was standing there at a loss for what to do, were left.
A gust of wind blew past, bringing with it a bloody aura, but most people could not discover it, except Qin An.
