Chapter 92 Changes in the Rainy Season

On Lang Ga’s side, several people were attracting attention.

Shao Xuan felt the line of sight in front of him, and then moved away after staring at him for about two minutes.

“Axuan, run!” Lang Ga shouted over there.

There was no need for Lang Ga to shout, Shao Xuan had already noticed that when the other party looked away, his legs burst out in an instant, and his bent knees ejected.

Click!

A section of the stone pillar stepped on under his feet suddenly cracked, and Shao Xuan’s body shot out like a bow and arrow.

At the next moment when Shao Xuan left the stone pillar, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a long shadow that shot out and recovered quickly. If Shao Xuan was slower, he might be swept by that long shadow.

Shao Xuan knew what that long shadow was. If it touched him, he would be dragged directly into the water.

At the same time, Lang Ga and the others had already thrown their spears towards the creatures in the water. They didn’t dare to shoot directly just now because Shao Xuan’s position was easily injured. Now that Shao Xuan left, they didn’t have to tie their hands and feet. The horns on their arms were raised and they threw the spears in their hands.

The stone spear passed through the rain curtain, and Shao Xuan could hear the “swish” sound of the spear swiftly across the air.

Those long-tailed frogs never go ashore, at most they only lie on their stomachs in shallow waters, revealing a triangular head and a pair of round eyes. It is also rarely called, unlike the sound of frogs that Shao Xuan thought. Only occasionally can I hear a small and short “croak” sound.

As the river rises, every day when Shao Xuan passes by, the patrol site will retreat. Because of the existence of those long-tailed frogs, they must keep a safe distance from the river.

Until one day, when Shao Xuan came to the river, he found that all the long-tailed frogs lying near the river bank had disappeared, but the river, which had already risen to the seventh fish fence, began to retreat.

The rainy season has not passed. Lang Ga told Shao Xuan that this was only the first river drop in the rainy season, and there will be several drops thereafter. After the first river drop, all the long-tailed frogs disappeared, so there is no need to worry about it afterwards. They will appear again.

At the same time, Shao Xuan also noticed that when the river surface fell, the direction of the river, which had been gradually obvious due to the rising water in the rainy season, changed. Nowadays, the river is not flowing in the direction that the overlords in the river swims, but is flowing upstream of the river that Shao Xuan guessed.

The changing direction of the river and the long-tailed frog that disappeared overnight told Shao Xuan that something was happening in the upper reaches of the river. According to Langga, there will be several times when the river surface drops during the rainy season. Every time the river surface drops, the flow direction of the river will change. Every year in the rainy season, many things they don’t know are happening.

It is precisely because of many strange phenomena that the people of the tribe feel that this invisible river is more mysterious, and they have been reluctant to explore, let alone explore.

When the river descended for the first time, Shao Xuan saw the wood-eating insects in the seventh fish fence.

The seventh fish grid was built by Shao Xuan. He put a few pieces of wood in the fish grid. He didn’t expect that this time when the river surface fell and the water receded, he temporarily trapped the wood-eating insect in it.

Wood-eating insects are like a mass of mucus. When they smell the presence of wood, they will stick to the wood block, or directly grow longer, and then pull the wood block down.

However, Shao Xuan found that there were many trees growing in the flooded area, but those trees had not been eaten much. Throw a small piece of wood into the river and wait for more than an hour to see the piece of wood being pulled down. If this is left in normal times, it will take less than two minutes for the piece of wood floating on the surface of the river to disappear.

Obviously, the activities of those wood-eating insects during the rainy season are also very unusual.Therefore, when Shao Xuan was patrolling every day, he would put a wooden block in the water to see how long it would be pulled down the river. A thin straw rope is tied to the wooden block, and the other end of the rope is tied to the stone pillar so that it will not float away. After returning, Shao Xuan will record the results of the day in his own secret “notebook”.

This rainy season has only 27 days, which is a few days shorter than last year. This is normal. According to the veterans, the longest rainy season they have experienced is 40 days, but the shortest rainy season will not be less than two. Fifteen days.

When the rain stopped, the dark clouds that had been lingering in the sky dispersed, and the long-lost sun shone on this land again, everyone in the tribe became as clear as the weather.

The children who had been stuffed in the house for nearly thirty days ran out like a joy, barefoot laughing and running around. The children in the cave also began to prepare things. After the rainy season is over, they can continue to fish. For the time being, they don’t have to worry about being dizzy by the sound of the river.

Why is it temporary?

Because those horror beasts who stopped roaring will reappear after a while, and they will scream again.

“A Xuan, I’m going back!”

Lang Ga and others have packed their things and are ready to leave.

“I’ll go back right away, let’s go first!” Shao Xuan replied.

After the rainy season is over, as long as there is no water, there will be no danger, so Lang Ga is not worried.

When Lang Ga and the others left, Shao Xuan took out a wooden boat from the animal skin bag. This was the last few days of his patrol. After returning every day, he made it out of the wood stored in the house and some small stone nails. A simple sailing boat.

The sail is made of only the leaves of a plant, and the planks are also ordinary wood. The hull of the small sailboat is only two palms long.

The wind blows from the river bank to the big river. Shao Xuan put the simple small sailboat on the river surface. With a little force with his fingers, the hull was pushed away and swayed. The wind blew away from the shallows of the river bank and sailed to a place where the boundary was invisible. The green on the boat is particularly conspicuous.

There are many piranhas in the river. These big-headed and low-IQ guys who disappeared during the rainy season have become active again, even more active than before the rainy season. Throwing a small piece of blood into the river can cause it They have been fighting for a long time and are very energetic. The good thing is that they are not interested in wood, but the wood-eaters in the river who are interested in wood seem to have disappeared.

Standing by the river and watching for a while, Shao Xuancai carried his things and left. When he went up the mountain, he looked back at the river and he could see the small dots drifting away under the sun.
