Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 68

The rain couldn't stop pouring down!

To be honest, the gap is actually not that big, just one palm wide.

But the rain outside was too heavy and too dense, and I couldn't use my hands to tighten the tree trunk that was used as the wall.

In just a few tens of seconds, my whole body was thoroughly watered by the rain, which was even more effective than the previous shower at home...

I had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to hold on to this trunk.

But as soon as I left, the tree trunk immediately swayed from side to side, and it was obvious that the vines below were getting looser and looser due to the strong wind.

Perhaps in the next moment, this important tree trunk may be blown down, and if this continues, the vines will definitely collapse.

At this tense moment, I also held back my attention and continued to tie up the trunk with vines. There are some vines in the house, which I picked up earlier.

This tree trunk is both the lower and upper walls of my wall. If I tie it, I have to go to the upper layer.

Needless to say, the upper floor was also soaked through, and my quilt was soaked by the rainwater that was drawn in, and a large part was soaked.

Fortunately, other rice noodles and the like did not get wet, which is what I am most afraid of.

I can dry the bedding when it is wet, but if it is rice noodles, if they cannot be dried in a short time, they are likely to be moldy and spoiled in this hot and humid weather.

Time couldn't allow me to continue thinking, so I quickly pulled the tree trunk over and stopped the tree trunk that was shaking left and right.

The cables are much thicker than the vines, and the gaps between the trunks can only allow ordinary vines to pass through, not the cables, otherwise I would definitely choose it.

I used vines to circle the trunk around, and then pulled it back. Finally, I pulled the vine vigorously, and tied this very long vine directly to the trunk next to it.

I panted heavily, and my heart finally calmed down. The tree trunk was temporarily tied by me, but it was a vine after all, and I couldn't guarantee how long it could last.All I know is that this vine is relatively dry, and I've left it there for a long time, so its strength should be stronger than the ones I just found.

Xiao Hei has been with me just now, even if the heavy rain poured in, it rushed to my side and enjoyed the baptism of the heavy rain with me.

I was both helpless and moved.This is sometimes a silly little black, but it often warms my heart inadvertently.

At this moment, it is still following me at my feet.

"Let's go, Xiao Hei, let's go to the fire. It's no joke to be sick." I patted it on the back, and it followed me all the way to the fire, and lay down again, enjoying the warmth brought by the fire.

Xiao Hei always adheres to one principle, if he can get down in the tree house, he will never stand up, and if he can stand outside, he will never get down...

This guy soon closed his eyes again and fell into a dream, but I felt more and more lonely and lonely, no one communicated, and no one communicated, which made me more scared, more timid, and more in this bad weather. Frightened...

Sometimes I really wish I could be like Xiao Hei without so many worries, but I can't!
The sound of wind and rain was still so terrifying. I felt that my hut would collapse at any moment. After sitting by the fire for a long time, I felt tired and drowsy like a tide.

I also want to sleep, but my brain has been in intense activity, so I can not calm down, in my opinion, sleep is the best way to escape.

But I can't do it!

Yes, I can't do it!
I didn't have a good rest last night, and my headaches are getting worse. My body is always so real, and I can't escape it at all.

Many of the twigs I used to plug the gaps were blown out by the strong wind, and the rainwater kept pouring in along these gaps.

I couldn't even achieve this moment of rest, so I could only stand up again, pick out some branches from the firewood, stuff them into these gaps one by one, and finally clap them tightly with my hands, but the effect was not what I imagined Well, the rain can still seep in, but at a slower rate.

The experience accumulated in the tree branch shelter last time has achieved extraordinary results this time. Last time I was digging a gutter, and I was so sick that I almost died.

So here, I have already made sufficient preparations for waterproofing. First of all, my fire is at the highest point of the lower floor, and in addition to digging the gutter outside the house, I even dug three fingers for a week inside the house. Wide, knuckle-deep pocket gutters.

I have to say that this gutter has achieved very good results now, so good that I was surprised by it. Most of the water dripping from the gaps and the upper layer flows out through this pocket gutter.

If it weren't for this drainage ditch, my hut would probably be flooded with water. At least the lower floor, except for the fire, should not be spared.

Originally, I also planned to put those flour and rice on the table I made before.To ensure that it is not affected by rainwater.

But now I think it should not be necessary, because even if there was rainwater coming in through the gaps last time, it would flow down directly from the gaps in the "floor" on the upper floor, and I piled up rice and other grains near the door. Uncut tree trunks are used as eaves, so only that side is not rained in.

……

Maybe it's midnight, maybe it's early morning!

I don't know the time at all now, and my sanity is already in a trance.

Extreme fatigue haunts me, and the messy thoughts have long since disappeared. Now I think about a question, and it takes a long time to get the answer.

My current mood is actually very excited, because the wind and rain are obviously a lot less, but my expression should be rigid.

This storm is almost about to conquer me. When my spirit is actually close to collapse, it begins to weaken slowly.

I have lost count of how many times I have prayed, praying that this storm will end soon, and praying that I can muster up my courage, but facing this force of nature, I feel really small and insignificant, and I really can’t bring it up The courage to resist.

My eyes are already sore, and besides the sweat, there is also a layer of grease on my forehead, and so is my hair.

Hope this storm ends like this.

I collapsed directly on the quilt, and I didn't even care that the corner under the quilt got wet, so I just lay down on it.

If I close my eyes now, I should be able to fall asleep right away, but before going to sleep, I still insist on listening to the sound of the wind and rain outside.

If it doesn't intensify by now...then I can sleep peacefully.

After 5 minutes, my heart finally fell completely. The original pattering rain sound was only pattering, and the wind was almost inaudible...

Well, I closed my eyes.
