Chapter 85 The Red Rainy Season
During this period, I have been learning fighting, archery and gunshots with Qin Ying.
Every morning, before dawn, I would get up, tie a stone weighing twenty or thirty kilograms on my body, and start a morning jogging near the tree house. Although my physical strength is not bad, I am always better than being stronger.
In the morning, I would go hunting with Qin Ying, learn some survival skills in the jungle, identify many poisonous and edible plants on the island, and practice archery skills in a little while.
After lunch, I can lift weight stones and practice arm strength until my hands tremble.
Taking advantage of the time when my hands were shaking, I held the gun again, and hung the stone with a rope at the muzzle, and remained motionless for at least two hours.
This is to make my hands more stable.
To become a powerful gunman, your hands must be steady, and you must exercise your arm strength and wrist strength so that no strength can make your hands tremble.
When I fired a gun, I often aimed clearly, but when I shot it, it was still crooked. This is very likely that my hands were shaking.
I didn't know why before, but now after Qin Ying taught me, I know the reason.
In the afternoon, I will practice close-knit fight with Qin Ying. In the evening, I will practice disassembling and assembling firearms, so that I must be very familiar with the gun, and finally I feel that the gun is a part of my body.
Qin Ying even taught me various skills such as climbing, drilling holes, diving, and other things.
I found that Qin Ying was much more powerful than I thought.
Although Qin Ying is young, her strength is extraordinary.
Her mother and father taught her a lot when she was young. She lived alone on a deserted island over the years, and Qin Ying also experienced life and death many times. Many of her experiences were exchanged for life. They were simple, effective and very precious!
Seeing that I was so serious, the other girls came over to learn a little, but they didn't stick to it because it was so hard.
However, their physical fitness has become much stronger because of this.
These are all later stories.
Let me say that on this day, after I got up early in the morning and went out for a run, I saw Qin Ying sitting at the door of the tree house, her slender legs swaying in the air, looking very pleasing to the eye.
However, her expression surprised me. The little girl's pretty face was full of sorrow. She looked at the sky in a daze, without saying a word.
I followed her eyes.
Today's sky is much darker than before, with light gray clouds all over the sky. It is most appropriate to describe the scenery at this moment by "black clouds pressing against the city and wanting to destroy it", although we do not have a city here.
"What's wrong? Sakura, don't you like rain?"
I climbed up the big tree in two steps, sat next to the little girl, grabbed her weak and boneless little hand, and asked her like this.
Qin Ying came to her senses when she saw me coming. She forced a smile at me, but said solemnly, "Brother Xiaofei, the annual red rain on the island is coming. I don't know if we can get through these days. My mother died in the red rain back then..."
Qin Ying's solemn words made me feel very bad. I vaguely felt that she had said something very important, "What is Hongyu?"
"It's the red rain, the Tumu people said, this is the tears of 'Mu'."
"Red rain?"
After hearing Qin Ying's words, I was stunned. How could the rain be red? Is there really such rain?
Although I couldn't believe it, I knew that Qin Ying would not lie to me. There might be a red rain that would really fall. I suddenly understood that the "bloody rain" that Susan mentioned did not refer to the spring hunt of the natives, but to the so-called red rain.
"What's the danger of this red rain?"
I quickly asked Qin Ying.
Qin Ying showed a look of lingering fear, but said, "Hongyu itself is not dangerous, but every time Hongyu is redyu, there will be an ant disaster..."
After listening to Qin Ying’s description, I had a rough idea in my mind. It turned out that after the red rain, a large number of ferocious human-eating ants would appear.
It was a small black ant, which was particularly terrifying. It ate everything. Once it was caught up by them, it would be bitten into bones in an instant. Moreover, the black ant had thin wings behind it and could travel around with the wind.
What's even more terrifying is that this kind of guy seems to be everywhere. Sometimes, even if you don't touch them at all, some ants will actually emerge directly from the human body.
This is how Qin Ying's mother died back then.
After listening to Qin Ying’s explanation, we couldn’t help but feel numb from the scalp.
Man-eating ants, this thing actually does not exist in the outside world. The man-eating ants circulating on the Internet are just rumors.
But now it seems that there is such a thing on this isolated island, and it seems even more terrifying.
Only now do I understand that what Susan said about bloody storm refers to this thing!
Susan only found a few words from the broken notes left by her father, and the reminder to us was vague. I had many speculations, but I didn't expect that the real situation would be like this.
In order to fight against the disaster of red rain ants, Qin Ying took us to the forest to pick many plant leaves. It was a kind of brown-red plant leaves. Qin Ying asked us to crush all these leaves.
This brown leaf has a high moisture content, and soon we made almost a bucket of transparent, somewhat viscous juice.
"Everyone took off their clothes and soaked in..."
Qin Ying told us. According to Qin Ying's meaning, we can't wear clothes because animal skins will attract those ants.
These days, everyone must be naked and apply the liquid of this plant to the whole body every day so that they can survive in the red rain.
When the girls heard this, they were a little stunned. In other words, everyone has to wear clothes these days. If everyone is a woman, it would be fine, but there is still me here.
Ning Xiaoqiu couldn't help but twist, "Sister Sakura, after applying this liquid, can we put on the clothes? What I told you, there is a difference between men and women..."
Before she finished speaking, Qin Ying had already interrupted her, "No, Sister Xiaoqiu, our animal skin clothes, those black ants, will eat them. Put on the clothes, and everyone will be eaten..."
Ning Xiaoqiu knew that Qin Ying would not lie, and her pretty face suddenly turned white and red, mainly because she was scared and embarrassed.
Thinking that she would stay naked with me in the next few days, she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her mind, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.
The terror of the Red Rain Ant made her even more frightened. You must know that even if we do what Qin Ying said, we may still not be able to survive. Most of Qin Ying's mother and other indigenous women caught by her father died in the Red Rain!
Ning Xiaoqiu was in a daze here, but at this time, the sky outside the tree house suddenly rang out with a loud bang!
It was the explosion-like thunder!
