Chapter 20 The Women of Dadara
Chapter 20 The Women of Dadara
Compared to Liu Yufei, Ashitaka caused a much bigger sensation, because this guy is handsome! Dadara is also a place where women have a relatively high status.
These women weren't as shy as the women outside; they openly peered through the doorway, occasionally making comments.
"Hey! He's looking at me!!"
"Come on, you're obviously looking at me, okay? Seriously, is it really a good idea for someone as good-looking as you to join us?"
"They're still better than these stinky men. They put on airs all day long, and none of them are of any use when it really matters!"
"Actually, the samurai is quite handsome too. Hey, have you heard? I heard he can fight the wolf god!!"
"Really? You're kidding me!! If I took it home, my physique wouldn't be comparable to the Wolf God."
In Dadala, the situation is clearly the opposite of what's outside. These women can make lewd jokes without restraint, and no one will criticize them. Because they are the ones who actually create the benefits.
This is the difference between feminism and radical feminism. In reality, those radical feminists don't know how to fight for actual benefits and move towards a transition to male rights. What a naive idea that is! A transition of rights will inevitably result in bloodshed. They can't even understand this, yet they clamor for rights.
Anyone who has even a basic understanding of Marxism-Leninism knows that without control of the means of production, any words are powerless.
The women of Dadara undoubtedly control the means of production. Don't assume that a single Phantom Princess can elevate their status; if that were the case, the Phantom Princess's position would be unstable.
Clearly, Huanji is a competent politician who knows who can be used and who cannot. For example, Gangshan, although nominally the second-in-command, actually has very little say in Dadara.
As for armed forces, Huan Ji's own strength is all borrowed, not to mention anything else. The only thing Huan Ji can rely on is these women who are willing to risk their lives for her.
Participation in production activities is a fundamental condition for equality, and Dadala has done a very good job in this regard.
At this moment, Liu Yufei and Ashitaka were seated at the tables on either side. This was not a banquet, but a vigil for those who had died earlier; in short, it was a feast.
"Sir Samurai, how did you do that? That monster hurt so many of our brothers!!"
"Yes, sir! Now that you've come to Tatara, you absolutely must teach me a couple of moves!!"
"Haha, Ah Qi, with your skinny frame, you should just give up. Look at the Samurai's muscles, can we compare to them?"
Ye Wufeng was incredibly embarrassed! He had expected the welcoming ceremony to include at least two beautiful women, but instead he ended up with Ashitaka. He immediately laughed and said:
"Um, gentlemen, I'm actually not a samurai, I'm a doctor!!"
"Doctor, how could this be?"
"Hehe, I came to Dadala because I heard that there were patients here who needed treatment, so I rushed over. I didn't expect to meet the Wolf God last night."
"Haha, anyway, sir, thank you for saving my life. Let me toast you first!!"
Everyone at both tables was laughing, except for one or two people, such as the one next to Liu Yufei, whose eyes were fixed on Liu Yufei. His intentions were all too clear, and Liu Yufei felt a little uncomfortable. He immediately said:
"Hey bro, come on over! Don't stare at me so intently, it makes me uncomfortable!!"
"Ah! Hahaha, you misunderstood, I was just thinking about something."
When Liu Yufei directly exposed their mistake, the woman felt a little embarrassed. They were not professional warriors, but farmers, so their professional skills were naturally lacking.
Ashitaka over there clearly sensed it too, but didn't say much, only politely saying:
"Thank you for your hospitality!!"
Before the men could speak, the woman outside chimed in.
"Young man, you don't have anywhere to sleep, do you? Want to come to my place? My room is spacious and doesn't smell like those men's sweat!"
Ashitaka nearly spat out the wine in his mouth, and Liu Yufei was also startled. He immediately turned around and thought to himself, "Let's see who's so bold."
Even in modern times, not all girls are this outspoken. This woman dared to say it so directly, which immediately caused the girls around her to burst into laughter.
Just then, Liu Yufei looked over and saw that the girl was quite pretty. The woman noticed Ashitaka hadn't turned around, but Liu Yufei had, and immediately smiled at him, saying:
"Sir Samurai, you're welcome to come! My house is very spacious!"
Even though Liu Yufei was a modern person, he was still embarrassed by such words and turned away to drink. In his heart, he cursed, "What do you take me for? I am a law-abiding citizen and a model student. Your wrong ideas are unacceptable. I must give you a good talking-to tonight."
Didn't Liu Yufei say he's just here for tourism? Tourism is about experiencing the local customs and culture, that's only natural!
The man next to Ashitaka immediately retorted angrily:
"We risked our lives to bring this food back; be careful it doesn't cause mouth ulcers!!"
This man was furious at the woman's excessive enthusiasm. Because he often went out to do business, some men still couldn't stand the atmosphere of Dadala, especially those who considered themselves capable.
Most ordinary women would choose to remain silent when they see a man angry, but the women of Dadala were clearly different; they immediately shouted:
"You bastard, you're going to choke! If it weren't for us ironworkers, what would you be trading for rice with? Every single grain of rice you eat is earned by us working day and night, pedaling the bellows! You've seen our work, haven't you? We can switch jobs if you want!"
As the woman at the front was about to walk in, fortunately, Ah Qi, who was next to Liu Yufei, immediately stood up and said:
"Just kidding! Of course we know you guys have had a tough time, he just had too much to drink, don't take it to heart!!"
If they hadn't stopped them, these women would have really stormed in and dragged this clueless guy out to beat him up. Luckily, to avoid being laughed at by outsiders, the woman left angrily after saying that.
The men on the field were used to it, because in Dadala, it was these women who were in control, while in the outside world, it was the lords who were in control. In comparison, life in Dadala was much better.
The key is that these women aren't unreasonable, but since all males are capable of attack, they have to make themselves strong, or at least appear strong, so that these men won't look down on them.
"Hehe, if it's possible, I'd like to visit your workplace!"
Ashitaka, knowing his arrival had caused the incident, immediately smiled and suggested... The infatuated girls, seeing Ashitaka's smile, were completely smitten, and one of them exclaimed joyfully:
"Really?! That's wonderful!!"
"Ah! I need to go put on some makeup!!"
It must be said that these girls are very confident. Because of their confidence, they say whatever they think, and because of their confidence, they are not afraid of any evaluation.
