Shannon Island Lord

Chapter 5 Self Reliance (5)

In order to prevent water leakage in the rain, Zhou Yu continued to thicken the "roof" and "bottom of the bed" with palm leaves after resting for a while, which is also to avoid water leakage and mosquitoes.

At the same time, one or two meters away from the front of the shed, also in the direction of the wind, he dug a shallow ditch below, spread a layer of leaf velvet underneath, and spread the ghost needle grass that had been in the sun all day on it.

The ghost needle grass has not been completely dried, but it will last longer if it burns like this. As long as the grass is covered with a layer of palm leaves, then the smoke will be scattered from all sides, and it will be more uniform .

The only downside is that the sea breeze is very strong at night, and it blows into the forest.That's why he chose to move forward a meter or two, neither too far would be useless, nor would it be too close to fume himself.

But he knew that the sea breeze was strong, and the smoke had little effect, but it was better than nothing, and he took it as comfort in his heart.

After spreading, Zhou Yu lit the bottom velvet, and let the velvet stretch slowly to boil.

Seeing the white smoke slowly coming out, Zhou Yu also smiled slightly.Looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

After placing the things that can store water, and using the piece of plastic picked up for the first time to set up the fire storage device (coconut shell) to prevent the rain from extinguishing the fire, after finishing these things, Zhou Yu slowly Go to sleep slowly.

However, in the middle of the night, Zhou Yu was awakened by a strong wind and a heavy rain.He quickly checked the time, it was past three in the morning.

Opening a crack, the darkness outside is almost invisible, but the strong wind and the sound of heavy rain, like howling ghosts and wolves, continue to wreak havoc on the island.

The rumble of the waves from the distant sea was like the charge of thousands of troops, shaking the world.

Although he knew that those waves would not affect him, Zhou Yu was still a little frightened.

Facing this kind of power of heaven and earth, it makes a person feel extremely lonely.

The fire in the camp had been extinguished by the water, and Zhou Yu didn't care about the storm outside, so he hurried out, picked up the two coconut shell fire storage devices under his bed frame, and then went into the shed to hide from the rain.

Seeing that the fire storage device was still smoking and there were sparks in it, Zhou Yu felt slightly certain.As if these sparks were his hope.

He shielded the plastic panels behind him against the howl of the strong wind.

Zhou Yu slightly blew on the sparks inside the coconut shell to increase the contact with the air inside, and then sat quietly, waiting for the wind and rain to pass.

Thankfully the roof and the leaf cover under the bed frame were thickened last night to make this rain water barely seep in.However, no matter how thick these leaves are, they cannot stop the sea breeze from blowing.

The sea breeze keeps blowing the leaves up. At this time, the rain is like a villain taking advantage of the danger, pouring into it continuously in this gap.

If it wasn't for that piece of plastic blocking Zhou Yu's back, he might not be able to withstand the cold wind and rain.

"I can't go on like this, I have to find a place to live inside, this is not a place to live at all!" While protecting the fire, while hanging a plastic sheet to keep out the rain, Zhou Yu's heart was also irritated at this time.

He wanted to roar a few times to vent his depression, but he was extremely helpless and could only hold on alone.

The night, the light that devours everything, is the ruler of all things in the world here, the night on the sea is the place where it vents, the storm is its roar, unscrupulous and lawless.

Hiding in a corner of the shed, with a plastic board on his back, although he blocked most of the storm, he was like a sailboat on the sea, he could only hold on in the storm in the dark night.

However, Zhou Yu looked at the kindling under him that was protected by him, and the two flashes of fire stabilized his mind and calmed his restless heart. It was like a lighthouse on the sea, giving people peace of mind. Give people hope.

The night will always pass, and the light will come soon.

The violent storm that lasted for more than three hours also gradually calmed down. It seemed that the anger of the sea had been vented. When the first ray of sunshine appeared in the morning, the sea that was originally torn apart became extremely calm.

If it weren't for the plants on the island that were blown up and down, it seemed as if the situation last night had never happened,
The ravages of the night also seemed to dispel the gray sky and turn it into a blue sky.Fresh air filled the island again.

Zhou Yu couldn't explain what he felt when he watched his shed become a mess.

But he also breathed a sigh of relief looking at the coconut shell that was still slowly smoking in his hand.

At least the things I found so hard are still there, instead of being swept into the sea by the wind.

But this night's cleaning also cleaned all the dry things, making the wood leaves wet and unable to burn in a short time.

Zhou Yu put the coconut shells away, and then started to collect the rainwater collected with shells and jars last night.

The rainwater is all fresh water and can be directly drunk.

He filled the shells with a mineral water bottle that he had just finished drinking a bottle of coconut water, and then started to pack the camp.

Those firewood and other things used for burning must be moved out to bask in the sun, otherwise there will be no firewood to burn tonight.

After spending more than half an hour, Zhou Yu ate the third piece of chocolate to replenish some energy.Then start going out and collecting things.

The wind had been raging all night, and with that level of wind, he knew that something must have been washed ashore by the sea, and he knew that coconuts must have fallen.This is a good time to collect.

As Zhou Yu expected, when he came back, there were seven or eight fish and a dozen crabs with broken limbs and arms in his backpack.Of course, the main reason was that the backpack was too small for him to fit it all.

After bringing the fish back to camp, he continues to collect coconuts.

At twelve o'clock at noon, after a morning of exposure, those small dead branches and leaves were basically dry.Under the ignition of the fire storage device, those leaf downs burst into flames.

Put the dead branches on one by one, and when the flame is not easy to extinguish, then put four large logs on them, and burn them while drying them.

After treating several fish with shells, he cut one of them into small pieces, and then Zhou Yu used the small pot of rainwater collected last night to set it on the wood, preparing to cook fish soup.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of coconut meat, which is also his only source of seasoning.It's like eating coconut chicken.

He didn't bother to wrap the other fish and crabs in leaves, so he directly inserted them with branches, then inserted them on the ground, and grilled them near the fire.

Anyway, as long as the burnt skin is torn off, the meat inside can be eaten directly.

The reason why he made so many is to prepare for the next meal.For after lunch he was going to venture into the woods to see if there was any habitable place in it.

The violent storm at three or four o'clock in the morning taught him a lesson, and made him remember four words at all times - plan for a rainy day!
After drinking the delicious fish soup full of coconut flavor and eating the fish, the gloom in his heart was dispelled, and Zhou Yu felt refreshed.

The remaining six fish and Zhou Yu didn't move, letting the fire continue to roast, but he put the dozen or so cooked crabs into his backpack for snacks.

After getting ready, Zhou Yu stepped into the forest.

He didn't intend to just move, this afternoon he just wanted to check in the woods where it was suitable for living and close to the water source.

Just wait until the system is restored tomorrow and exchange some necessary tools before moving.
