Chapter 122 Before the Rainy Season
The rain continued for more than ten days, and the sun appeared in the forest again. The water under the tree house had flooded the grass, leaving only a few corners on the water surface, representing the traces of their existence.
At this time, the water flow on the ground was high enough to cover Lu Xiaoxiao's ankles, making it very inconvenient to travel. The tribe's gathering activities for the females had completely stopped, and only the tribe's hunting team still insisted on going out.
Yuchuan had already prepared food and drinks for Lu Xiaoxiao early in the morning and prepared things for hunting for the rainy season. If Lu Xiaoxiao hadn't quickly explained that it was inconvenient for them to go back and they couldn't marry into his family's family, he would have set off in the middle of the night yesterday.
After lying in bed at home for several days, Lu Xiaoxiao felt like going out for some fresh air to give herself a new mood.
There are already many females in the tribe who have come out for some fresh air. If they don’t come out for a walk now, they will have to wait until the rainy season stops completely before they can come out again.
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly saw something floating under her tree house. She walked over curiously and saw a shadow with half of its body in the mud and the other half floating in the flowing water.
what is this?
Villain?
She thought she had seen it wrong, so she reached out to fish it out. Lu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. It really was a little man tied up with grass in a very realistic manner.
Hey guys, what's going on?
Lu Xiaoxiao looked around carefully and found another little man with a missing head behind the tree trunk. She wondered if it was the tradition in the beast world to make little men of whomever they liked. Otherwise, she couldn't understand why there were two men buried under her tree house.
Or was it left behind by the original person... ?
All traces had long been washed away by the continuous rain and the endless stream of water, and all clues disappeared, but she had asked everyone to help build this tree house, and no one had lived in it before, so this option could basically be ruled out.
Lu Xiaoxiao frowned. No matter who saw this thing so early in the morning, they would not be in a good mood. It was really creepy.
After thinking about it, she still felt that someone was targeting her. Lu Xiaoxiao secretly took note of it and sent the villain somewhere else.
The little straw man soon floated away with the waves and disappeared in the shallow water.
The weather is not cold, so your feet won't freeze when you step in water. The soil has been moistened but there are no dangerous puddles or other dangerous places. It is also soft to step on and doesn't prick your feet at all.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, let's go play together!" Hei Xi has not been busy recently and has been playing everywhere. When he saw Lu Xiaoxiao coming down from the tree to play, he raised his hand high.
Today she wore a black spider lace skirt made by Lu Xiaoxiao, and a leopard print top with shoulder straps. Her strong shoulders and tight arms were exposed, making her look very youthful and beautiful.
Sure enough, girls are so cute and hot.
"Where is Heiyu?" Lu Xiaoxiao walked over. The two sisters often appeared together.
"She has something to do." Heixi shrugged. Heiyu's affairs were all related to the tribe, so she would not go to see them. It would be better to play for a while, as she would have no chance in a few days.
Everyone will be very busy before the rainy season. After all, it is a matter of life and death. Even Hei Feng can only concentrate on hunting every day and can't even be a street thief.
"Oh." Lu Xiaoxiao thought of the two straw men just now, and asked in what she thought was a tactful way, "Xi, I have a question for you..."
Hei Xi raised her eyebrows slightly. Lu Xiaoxiao was so smart but she still had questions to ask her. Doesn't that mean... she is also quite smart!
"you say!"
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't want to alert the enemy, so she chose her words carefully: "Do we make straw men for fun in our tribe?"
"What is that?" Hei Xi had prepared a lot of things to answer the question, but Lu Xiaoxiao didn't play by the rules at all. She scratched her head and asked, "What is a straw man?"
Lu Xiaoxiao had never thought about the fact that no one in the Black Feather Tribe made straw men. She described it as: "It's just grabbing grass together, and using vines or grass leaves to make a human shape... that, for fun or something."
Hei Xi thought hard, but there was no such thing in her mind. She had never seen it before. She shook her head and said, "No, this is the first time I've heard of it."
"So that's it." Lu Xiaoxiao was now completely sure. Perhaps someone wanted to attack her mentally?
Hei Xi was actually interested. She asked curiously, "Xiao Xiao, how do you make a straw man? How do you usually play with it?"
Lu Xiaoxiao was stuck. How could she make a straw man?
Some theories and practices are two different things.
"I've only heard of it, but haven't seen it yet." After Lu Xiaoxiao said this, a bold idea emerged in her mind.
Should he be a foreigner?
In other words, they are people who come from outside.
Apart from herself, the other outsiders who recently joined the tribe were the ones brought back from the exchange market. Based on recent events, the most likely person with the greatest motive for committing the crime was the red-haired girl brought back by Nanshan.
Lu Xiaoxiao wondered doubtfully, is this matter really that simple?
But the matter was already very dramatic. Such a great achievement was taken away by someone else. It made me want to kill someone.
Feeling a little guilty, Lu Xiaoxiao had not intended to steal the credit from others, but things had already happened, so whatever she said would be hypocritical.
I can only be thankful that she didn't climb up her tree house in the middle of the night with a knife...
But Lu Xiaoxiao did not regret it. Nanshan was Yuchuan's best friend, and as his friend, she couldn't bear to see it in that situation.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said to Hei Xi, "I have something else to do. You play first."
She secretly regretted her impulsiveness. If she had left the two straw men in the morning, at least she would have had evidence. Now she had nothing at all and it would be difficult to deal with the situation.
She took a handful of long grass and put it in her hands, trying to weave a person out of it.
Emmm......
The technique was very clumsy and it was impossible to tell who the person was. Lu Xiaoxiao speechlessly threw the balls into the water, preparing to see if the two balls she had thrown in the morning were stuck in the current.
I looked around but didn't see anything. This is the true example of what it means to achieve success by accident.
Remembering the activity of flying lanterns, if she was unlucky, the lantern would get stuck in the bay on the flat river surface. But today, she just threw it casually and it flew thousands of miles away easily.
Things in the world are so wonderful and endless. Lu Xiaoxiao has not forgotten to put Xiaoyu and Yan into the suspicion area for the time being, and treats everyone equally.
"Share the fruit!"
"Females, gather at the altar and distribute the fruits!"
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the calls, some females who were staying at home immediately climbed down from the tree house and ran towards the altar quickly, with water splashing under their feet.
“Come to the altar and receive the fruit!”
Lu Xiaoxiao also hurried over to join in the fun.
"These are what the hunting team just brought back. We need to eat them quickly, or they will go bad..."
"These can be kept for ten days, so be economical."
"You can drink these, but throw away the bitter ones."
The male on the altar read out the flavor and shelf life of the food to everyone at least twenty times, fearing that the females would forget during the rainy season.
"We have a partner who will remind you!"
"Those without partners are also protected by orcs. Stop talking and split up!"
Under the impatient urging of the females, he finally shut up. In front of him, many hands were stretched out in all directions, and he had no idea who the other party was.
"Everyone line up! Otherwise it will be hard to tell them apart!"
The females sighed and were too lazy to cooperate: "We are all from the same tribe, we are not outsiders!"
"That's right, isn't it always sent like this?"
"so troublesome."
