April 16, the first year of the establishment of the Vine Tribe.
"Rumble..."
"Crack..."
In the sky, there are dense clouds, thick lightning is striking crazily, strong winds are blowing, and heavy rain is falling.
In the bamboo house, Gan Song squatted at the door with a bowl of rice, watching the rainwater from the eaves flowing down the gutter at the door, and then looking at the leak-proof roof, feeling very complicated.
"When the tribe was still there, we never lived in such a good house..."
Since breaking an arm, Gan Song has been very pessimistic and has no hope for the future.
Because for a warrior, breaking an arm means that he cannot participate in hunting.
If you can't participate in hunting, you won't get much food. You can only collect some wild vegetables and survive. If winter happens, it will be a nightmare.
But now, they have come to the Vine Tribe.
Here, they don't need to go into the forest to fight those ferocious beasts, they don't need to eat grass roots and tree bark, they only need to do some tasks that are very simple to the nard.
They lived in a watertight bamboo house, had enough to eat, and were clothed warmly. Their lives were actually better than in the previous tribe!
Gan Song lowered his head and looked at the pottery bowl. Only the Teng tribe would give such a good thing to tourists like them.
Gan Song put the pottery bowl on his lap, then clumsily grabbed the chopsticks and took a bite into his mouth. A faint salty taste, mixed with the aroma of food, filled his mouth.
"This is precious salt!"
I held the nard in my mouth for a long time before reluctantly swallowing the mouthful of rice.
The Vine tribe was so kind to them that Gan Song felt like he was in a dream.
"If this is a dream, I hope this dream will last forever."
While Gan Song was eating, looking at the pouring rain, he felt that the depressed pessimism in his heart seemed to have been diluted by the rain.
Summer rain comes and goes quickly.
An hour later, the rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth again.
Gan Song washed his bowl and chopsticks, put them away carefully, then picked up the bone and shouted to other tourists: "The rain has stopped, it's time to work!"
The tourists in the bamboo house stood up one after another, picked up their tools, and walked into the farmland.
Everyone is very motivated because they have seen how good the Vine Tribe is and want to stay in the Vine Tribe forever.
If you want to stay in the Vine Tribe, you must work hard.
Because the leader said that those who behave well can become real members of the Vine Tribe. If they cheat and cheat, they may be expelled from the tribe!
What they have to do today is to dig deep drainage ditches in the farmland.
With the arrival of summer, rainfall is getting heavier and heavier. If the drainage ditch is too shallow and cannot drain water, the crops in the field will easily be flooded.
Gan Song held the bone in one hand and started working immediately after arriving in the field.
Although he only has one hand, he is a warrior of one color after all. He is stronger than ordinary people and can work as well as others.
Other tourists also started working, and no one disliked the mud after the rain, because they had experienced more difficult environments.
……
Jiang Xuan walked out of the bamboo house. The air after the rain was particularly fresh, with the unique aroma of vegetation, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Nearby, Chi Shao and Stone Loach are patrolling the pond, checking the rattan net at the water outlet to ensure that the fish in the pond cannot escape.
In the distance, the tourists were working hard to dig drainage ditches, talking and laughing, and working enthusiastically.
Jiang Xuan also had a smile on his face. Such energetic days, even if they are a bit bitter and tiring, make people full of hope for the future.
"Hey, what is that?"
Jiang Xuan was about to go take a look in the fields. Suddenly, he saw a huge insect flying towards him in the distance. The sound of flapping its wings was very loud, just like the sound of a helicopter flying.
"This is...a dragonfly?"
Jiang Xuan's eyes almost widened as he looked at the huge thing in the sky.
In the sky is a giant dragonfly with a wingspan of at least six meters and a body length of four meters. Its two transparent wings flap so fast that it is almost invisible.
Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of an introduction to a prehistoric giant dragonfly that he had seen in his previous life:
Its big eyes are like 360-degree cameras with no blind spots, and its black lower jaw teeth are like large iron pliers, which can easily crush animal bones.
Its six long legs are equipped with spines, which can easily catch prey. Each of its wings can be controlled independently, allowing it to fly freely in the forest.
This kind of giant dragonfly is a tyrant in the sky that is no weaker than ordinary birds. It is very scary.
This description is very similar to the giant dragonfly Jiang Xuan saw now, but this giant dragonfly is even bigger and more terrifying.
Although he has seen all kinds of huge bugs, including centipedes half a meter long, spiders as big as pumpkins, etc.
But this giant dragonfly shocked him even more, because it was simply a small fighter jet!
When this giant dragonfly flew over, Jiang Xuan felt its terror more closely.
When it flew over Jiang Xuan's head, Jiang Xuan could clearly feel a strong wind on the ground, and the bamboo forest was blown "rustling".
"Too big!"
Jiang Xuan kept looking at the sky until the giant dragonfly flew through the bamboo forest, landed halfway up the stone mountain, and grabbed the huge ancient vine.
Jiang Xuan felt nervous. He was really afraid that the ancient vine would kill this giant dragonfly just like the giant bird it had beaten to death before.
That was a pity. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a big dragonfly, and he could not find any information related to this giant dragonfly in his memory.
Fortunately, the ancient vine remained motionless and seemed to have no problem with the giant dragonfly landing on it.
Chi Shao, Uncaria and others also came over.
"Sister, have you seen this kind of dragonfly?"
Chi Shao shook his head and said, "I've never seen one that big."
"That's strange. Could it be that it flew here from somewhere else?"
Jiang Xuan was puzzled, but it didn't stop him from yearning for this giant dragonfly.
In Jiang Xuan's opinion, this is just a small helicopter!
If it could be tamed, wouldn’t it be possible to ride it and fly around?
Thinking of the scene of riding a giant dragonfly flying around, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be fascinated.
However, it is easy to tame birds, but it is difficult to tame insects. No one can say whether they can be successfully tamed.
Moreover, such a giant dragonfly has strong attack power and flies very fast. It is difficult to catch it, let alone tame it.
"It would be great if we could find its larvae. It would be easier to raise them from larvae."
But where to find its larvae? Jiang Xuan currently has no clue. This kind of dragonfly flies so fast that it is impossible to track it.
Jiang Xuan could only ponder and observe this giant dragonfly.
What is surprising is that in the next few days, this giant dragonfly did not leave. It foraged nearby during the day and stayed on the rocky mountain at night, keeping company with the ancient vines.
This makes Jiang Xuan quite happy. As long as the giant dragonfly doesn't move away, the chances of getting close to it or finding its larvae will increase.
As time went by, the people of the Vine tribe gradually became accustomed to the existence of this giant dragonfly.
This giant dragonfly doesn't attack people, it just catches some giant insects to eat, and it gets along well with the vine tribe.
