Episode 742 White Rice Love
Soil, water, weeds.
The combination of these three monotonous things makes the place called "Gollum Swamp" look extremely desolate.
And the water here is mostly stagnant, soaked in patches of fallen leaves, and everywhere exudes the smell of damp decay, and when the dragonflies fly over the swamp, the three human girls can't help but sneeze.
"What the hell is this place, ahhhhhh
"I remember the last time I saw a few plants in the middle of the swamp, very similar to the wild rice you guys said. ”
Dragonfly said, leading the group to fly inside.
From afar, I heard Li Enchanting clapping her hands and laughing excitedly, "Yes, there is really wild rice!"
Xia Helen and Kaixin squinted, and sure enough, they found five or six rice plants in front of them swaying proudly in the wind, as if they were singing and dancing to welcome the arrival of human beings.
……
Five dragonflies flew merrily with three humans, but instead of immediately docking them, the dragonflies carefully circled around a rice plant to make sure there were no spiders, poison dart frogs, or other dangerous creatures on it, and then stopped on a cluster of rice ears.
"Is this rice, are there flies?" asked Arashi curiously, but when she saw that the three girls were vomiting, she couldn't help blushing, "I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"
As soon as Kaixin wanted to open her mouth to despise her, she was pulled by Xia Hailun at the corner of her clothes. Hint that she keeps her mouth shut. After all, for carnivorous insects, flies, mosquitoes, locusts and the like are dragonflies' favorites, and these are precisely the insects that humans hate the most, and it hurts to say it.
"Ahem, dragonfly brothers and sisters, you have a lot of strength, please bite off these rice grains, and bring a few more grains without affecting the flight. Li Yourao smiled and said that she felt a little greedy, she pulled out the fruit knife, jumped off the dragonfly, and took the lead in cutting.
The rice is green and not yet ripe, but when cooked, the taste is still delicious.
Looking at the rice grains that are more than one person tall in front of them, one is enough for the seven of them to eat for half a month, and if there is more, let the rice balls make the rice cakes that everyone has been longing for for a long time, thinking of this, the three human girls looked at each other and smiled, full of happiness.
Five dragonflies were laughing, too.
Laughing at humans is so stupid, such an unpalatable weed is actually what they dream of.
……
Just when the three girls couldn't get a grain of rice despite their strength in feeding, each of the five dragonflies hugged three rice grains with six hands and feet.
Dragonfly smiled proudly, "This rice is so light, I can hold at least two." The other dragonflies nodded and smiled, "Then let's hold a few more." ”
Xia Hailun's face changed, "Xiao Sha, please use your fingers to cut open the shell of the rice and take a look." ”
Xiao Xiao was confused, and directly tore the rice shell with his mouth, and the three girls almost fainted when they saw it.
Empty!
It's hollow, it's empty!
Dragonflies also bit open the rice they were holding, and with a series of stabbing and tearing sounds, all the rice in the dragonflies' hands was empty.
The three girls wanted to cry without tears.
It turned out to be empty shell rice, and there was an empty joy.
"What's going on?" Kai Xin roared frantically, her face full of collapse, she had been busy for most of the day, and her hands hurt when she cut it just now.
Xia Helen looked around and sighed, "This is a swamp, and poor drainage will cause black roots and make rice stunted, it is estimated that this is the reason." ”
Kai Xin and Li Enchanted hung their heads.
"Hey, Dragonfly, do you know where there is still night rice on Dragonfly Island?" Kaixin looked up and asked expectantly, her expression nervous.
The five dragonflies groaned for a moment, and all of them squeezed out a regretful smile, expressing deep sympathy for the human plight.
"It's okay, let's go look for the bracken again, it tastes good. Xia Helen pretended to smile easily, hugged Kaixin's shoulder, and trembled.
"No, I'm going to eat white rice!" Kaixin pouted like a child.
"It seems that the only way to go is to go there! The rice must be very full. Li Enchanting had a resolute expression.
"You mean the Roaring Lake!" asked Kaixin.
Li Yourao nodded
"Enchanting, you're crazy!" Xia Hailun frowned and blurted out, "That's the territory of the tiger dragonfly!"
"Kill the bold, starve the cowardly! I can't bear the child to trap the wolf!"
Li Yourao gritted her teeth and said, her expression was hideous, which frightened the dragonflies.
Her expression softened instantly, "Don't worry, I learned a way from Yue An, so that everyone can go safely and come back safely, even if the tiger dragonfly finds us, it doesn't matter." ”
