This morning, I ran with a heavy load as usual. When I came back, I saw Xi'er sitting on the big tree trunk outside the tree house with a sad face, her head was supported by her small hands, and her legs were shaking slightly, matching the leaves behind her, The hazy morning fog looks like a beautiful painting.

However, I was not in the mood to appreciate her beauty, because at this time, Xi'er's worried expression made me feel very strange. She has always been a very cheerful and optimistic girl, full of vitality.

I seldom see such a worried look on her face as today.

Following her gaze, I looked towards the sky.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark gray clouds. At first glance, those dark clouds seemed to be close to the ground on the cliff, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.

The black-gray sky is like a big cover, trying to completely cover our tiankeng.

"Xie'er, you don't seem very happy? Is it because it's going to rain?"

I dropped the iron blocks tied to my feet, jumped up the tree in a few steps, and sat beside her.

Xi'er found that I was sitting next to her, and she ended her meditation. She smiled at me, but the smile still showed a sense of worry, "Brother Zhang, the red rainy season is coming, it's a disaster, No one knows if we can live on. That year my grandma was killed by Hong Yu..."

Xi'er's words surprised me, I didn't understand, what kind of disaster, Hongyu can kill people?What the hell does this mean?
Seeing that I didn't understand, Xi'er thought for a while and explained, "The reason why the red rainy season is called the red rainy season is because at this time, it will rain red. The people of Honglu said that this is the cry of the gods."

"How can rain be red?"

Xi'er's words made me a little stunned, how could this be possible.

However, although I was shocked in my heart, I also understood that Xi'er is not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense.Is there really such a natural wonder happening on this island?

I suddenly understood what Eve meant by "reign of terror" back then.

It turned out that I had guessed wrong all along.

The hunting of the savages will indeed bring a bloody storm in the forest, but if compared with the red rain floating in this natural state, it is not an order of magnitude at all.

"Then what's so scary about this thing?"

I asked quickly, already feeling a little uncomfortable.

As soon as the red rain was mentioned, Xi'er's face became a little frightened and sad, "Whenever the red rain blows, there will be a plague of ants. Although these ants are small, they will eat everything. If they are caught If you get entangled, you will be dripped with blood in the blink of an eye, and will soon turn into a pile of bones..."

Xi'er depicted a hellish scene. Those ants were not only in groups, they were extremely numerous, they were like locusts, they could fly, and the thin cicada wings on their backs, coupled with their extremely light weight, allowed them to fly with the wind. and go.

"Moreover, no one knows where these ants will come out. My mother didn't touch them at all, but in the end devil ants came out of her body. The Honglu people said that devil ants are all devils." The messenger of God, and the red rain is the gods mourning for the suffering of the living beings."

When Xi'er said this, Xiao Qing and the others also came out. After hearing these words, the girls were quite frightened.

Rumors about man-eating ants can often be seen on the Internet outside, but in fact, biologists have not really discovered the so-called man-eating ants.What is circulating on the Internet is nothing but people's fantasies and fabrications.

But now, on this broken island, this thing really exists, and it is much more dangerous than ordinary man-eating ants.

Now I understand why Eve told us to leave before spring.

It is a pity that too many accidents have happened all the time, and we were unable to leave early, so we could only face the threat of bloody storms.

Fortunately, we still have Xi'er by our side. She has survived on the island for many years, and she goes through the red rainy season every year. She is also experienced.

We immediately put down everything we were doing and followed Xi'er into the forest.

According to Xi'er's request, we are collecting a kind of grass stem called "Heron Grass". On the surface, this kind of grass is not much different from ordinary grass, except that the leaves are a little curly, but their rhizomes are very large. , a bit like a potato, but with a dark blue color.

We dug up baskets of egret rhizomes, took them home, and mashed them up with wooden sticks.

So it didn't take long before we had a whole bucket of dark blue, translucent slime in front of us.

This slime is a bit like lubricant and vegetable oil.

According to Xi'er, when the red rain comes, everyone needs to smear these liquids on their bodies to cover up the smell.

"Apply these liquid medicines on your body? I always feel that this method is a bit strange..."

Xiao Qing and the others were a little dazed, they all blushed and looked at Qian'er nervously.

"What's so strange?"

Xi'er was a little confused, but she quickly lifted the animal skin carpet on the ground and hid it in the cabinet. It is said that those devil ants even eat animal skins.

Seeing the hesitant looks of those girls, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. What time is it, are you still concerned about your own image?Women are trouble!
This devil ant is too scary, even if the measures are taken, it may kill people.

Xi'er's mother also took protective measures back then, but unfortunately she was recruited in the end.

I think that Xi'er's defense method must have some flaws.

As for what the Honglu people said, this is the devil's punishment, I don't believe it at all.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that Xiao Qing and the others were still hesitating, Qian'er couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and jumped into the bucket by herself.

However, once soaked in the liquid medicine, the clothes became a little transparent.

"Pervert, close your eyes!"

Xiao Qing coldly whispered in my ear.

I quickly closed my eyes, but I muttered in my heart, I will listen to you and close it now.But Xi'er said that the heavy rain lasted for several days, so it's impossible for me to be blind all the time, right?
Xiao Qing and the others saw that my eyes were closed, so they reluctantly began to apply the liquid, but they quickly screamed, and quickly speeded up, not daring to continue tweaking.

Because at this moment, there was an explosion-like roar from outside the window.

The huge thunder sounded like it was about to blast a hole in the sky, and the silver lightning whizzed past, lighting up the dim tree house. The heavy rain was finally coming!
