"Only the dew of life can wash away the residual smell of the Shi brothers!" said Hua Jiao.

Isn't this the dew of life? The weather in the southwest has a large temperature difference between day and night, and after dusk, the dew drops slowly condense on the leaves of the grass.

The next morning, these crystal clear ones were hung all over the grass, and when the sun shone on, it was very beautiful.

"Life dew?" Xiao Ran wondered.

"Oh......" Sichuan pepper suddenly realized, "dew can be seen everywhere, but it is difficult to wash away all kinds of smells, life dew is different from dew, life dew only exists in part of the stamens, its breath is pure, the entrance is sweet, the best life dew, can wash away all filth." Sichuan pepper explained.

"Then where are you going to collect this life dew?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It's just a matter of luck, set off before dawn, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to collect the dew of life. There are a few places in the Artemisia Jungle where life dew can be easily collected, but it is the territory of the Empire. Unfortunately, now that it's autumn, it's hard to collect the dew of life. Pepper said in a low voice.

"Oh, that's it......" Xiao Ran pondered.

Seeing Xiao Ran pondering, Hua Jiao stepped forward to comfort: "Even if we don't have the dew of life, even if there is some residual taste of the persimmon cake on the brother, we still have persimmon cakes." ”

"No, it's not the same...... Only an innocent and clean persimmon is qualified to become a unique persimmon cake in the world!" Xiao Ran resolutely denied the comfort of Sichuan pepper.

"But nowadays, the dew of life is difficult to collect. "Pepper Road.

"That must also be collected!" Xiao Ran did not mean to back down at all, real food is worth treating meticulously. In the face of real food, there is never a word for compromise.

Xiao Ran instructed all the worker ants in the anti-sperm cave to go out together to find the dew of life before dawn tomorrow.

All the worker ants agreed in unison, and since the last time because they followed Xiao Yun, the ant population in the anti-sperm cave has been greatly reduced, and all the worker ants have obeyed Xiao Ran's orders.

The next day, Xiao Ran and the workers got up early in the morning, when it was still dark, only in the distance, there were a few rooster crows.

But this time, the mission did not go very smoothly, and the workers were busy all morning, and not a drop of life dew was collected.

No wonder!

No wonder in the Empire, the amount of work to collect the dew of life was so high!

Now, the worker ants in the anti-sperm burrows can finally move on the land of death at any time. With the sentry posts of Suyu and Jiuli in turn, the prevention of leg essence is much more accurate and effective than the previous estimate by time.

Xiao Ran looked at the three red persimmons in the land of death.

This smell ......

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

Sou.

A cool breeze came to eat, and the air was mixed with the smell of moisture.

"It's going to rain!" Xiao Ran suddenly became excited. Is it impossible to find the dew of life, but the long-lasting rain, what smell can't be washed away!

At this time, the worker ants in the anti-sperm cave became agitated.

"Are you moving?"

"Are you moving?"

"Does anyone know that we're moving this time?"

By the way, Xiao Ran remembered that whenever it rains, especially in summer, ants will move before the rain. Although he didn't understand why, it seemed that moving before the rain had become a habit for the ant clan.

"The cave is safe and there is plenty of space, so I don't have to move this time. "Sichuan pepper said to the workers.

"Sichuan pepper, can you tell me why the ants have to move before the rain?" asked Xiao Ran.

"This ......," Hua Jiao pondered for a long time, "I don't know, I only know that since ancient times, this has been the case." ”

After listening to the decision of the peppercorns, all the worker ants also settled down. Xiao Ran looked at the three red persimmons in front of him, and the worries in his heart were all scattered with the wind.

Rushing.

In less than half an hour, an autumn rain fell from the sky. The raindrops that had just entered autumn were still very heavy, and they clanged on the tiles of the old house.

Xiao Ran suddenly recalled the past, when he was a child, he often sat under the eaves of this place of death on rainy days, that is, under the eaves of the old house, watching the heavy rain and listening to the crackling rain.

Now, he hadn't heard this rustic rain in years.

He never thought that he would be an ant when he watched the rain under this eaves again, and the eaves under this eaves had become a place of death in the mouths of all ants.

After a while, columns of water poured down from the roof of the old house. This kind of water column is the water column of the tile house, and the tile house collects all the rainwater that falls on the roof into the tile hook, and then discharges it to the ground through the tile hook, and there is this kind of water column.

There is a lot of rainwater in the water column, and this flow is comparable to the water released from the tap water.

"Action!" Xiao Ran said loudly in a mustache.

The workers worked together to push the three red persimmons under the water column.

The rainwater from the water column is poured on the persimmons, which is very vivid.

After a while, Xiao Ran stepped forward to smell it, and sure enough, the persimmons that had been watered by the water column had completely lost the taste of the Shi brothers.

"It worked!" the ants cheered.

Xiao Ran admired the rain scene, and the persimmons that looked very delicate in the rain, and he was in a very comfortable mood, this was the happiest day for him to become a worker ant.

An autumn rain and a cold.

After the rain, the workers carried the persimmons back to a clean stone slab in the land of death, which was specially cleaned and washed by Xiao Ran and was spotless. Three persimmons that had just taken a bath were lying on the stone slab so delicately that no one could help but want to go up and take a bite.

But everyone knows that this is a reserve grain for the winter, and they all stay honestly.

The cool weather makes the ant tribes feel very comfortable.

It seems that there will be no sun today, and tomorrow there will be the sun, and then continue to make persimmon cakes, Xiao Ran thought to himself.

This kind of waiting time was very boring, and he began to recall what he was doing when he was a child, after this kind of rain.

That's right!

He remembered that when he was a child, after the rain in summer, he would take a pair of tongs and run to the mountain spring on the right side of the old house to take a look.

After the rain, the crabs love to come out to enjoy the coolness, so Xiao Ran took advantage of this time to bring tongs to the mouth of the mountain spring, and the crabs could be clamped up with one tongs.

Xiao Ran felt a little ridiculous, when he was a child, he didn't even know that crab roe and crab meat could also be eaten. Every time, he ate the crab's big pincers and the meat in his legs.

He remembered that every time after the rain, there would be two or three crabs at the mouth of their respective caves. The crabs here grow up drinking spring water, and they are not polluted in any way, and the taste of crab meat is tender and delicious, although it is not as famous as hairy crabs, but the crab meat is not worse than hairy crabs at all.

The old house has a front of the artemisia jungle, and the eaves at the junction of the artemisia jungle and the old house are the place of death. On the right side of the old mansion is the sea buckthorn wasteland, and behind the sea buckthorn, there is a bamboo forest.

To the left of the old house is the mouth of the mountain spring.

"Let's go!"

Xiao Ran gave an order, and all the worker ants marched towards the mouth of the mountain spring.
