"Brother Ahai, is it almost there?"

They had been floating on the sea for a day, and the shadow of the island had long been gone, but after all that time, they still had not seen the shadow of the land.

Ah Hai knew that he was not misremembering, so this island must not be the original island, the original island was not so far from the land, even if the raft was slow, a day would be enough for them to reach the land.

Anna's shoes had long been wet with the sea, and she took them off and stood barefoot on the raft, shivering.

Seeing that Ah Hai had been silent, she couldn't help but speak: "Brother Ah Hai, why don't we go back?"

When night falls, the sea breeze blows with a hint of coolness. If it was really close to the land, they would have been able to see the light reflected by the clouds above the city, but the surrounding sky was the same darkness, and there was no trace of the reflection of the light.

That is, they are located very far from the city.

Ah Hai's hand holding the oars couldn't help but tighten, maybe Anna was right, they should go back.

It was obviously impossible for the raft to bring them back to land, and even if it could hold out, they would probably be lost in the sea in the event of a storm.

"Okay, let's go back. Ah Hai finally relented.

Anna breathed a sigh of relief.

When they returned, it was windy, but fortunately it was a tailwind, so it didn't take them much time to get back to the desert island.

They did not take with them all their rations when they went to sea, because there was not much on the raft, and all the grain was hung in the huts and stuffed to the brim, just in case. They had rowed the raft for the day, and there was no energy left to tidy up, and after dragging their tired bodies through the hut to find a place for them to sleep, they fell into a deep sleep.

Lucy has been retrieved by the Demon Prince, but she has angered the Demon Prince and is locked up in the castle tower, unable to communicate with the outside world, so she does not know about the disappearance of Anna and Hai.

Nalls and Anna agreed that the kidnapping would end when Lucy returned, but Nalls didn't want to end the game so soon. Lucy didn't come to them anyway, did she! He even wondered how long Anna would be able to hold out on this desert island. As for the school, he had already asked Anna and Ah Hai for leave!

After returning to the island, Ah Hai and Anna began to prepare for the winter.

First of all, the cabin needs to be strengthened and thickened, and the food storage for the winter must also be prepared.

To survive the winter, Ah Hai and Anna got more taller trees from the woods, intending to build a stronger wooden house. The huts were too small for them to be crammed together with the grain all winter. Ah Hai wanted to build a warehouse, but now that he had got taller timber, he simply built a new house.

The new wooden house is almost three times more spacious than the original wooden house, the height has also been increased, the foundation has been deepened, and the skeleton of the house alone took almost half a month to build.

The timber used to build the house was taken from deep in the forest, and because the timber was so heavy that it took two people to move it each time, they could carry about four or five pieces of wood in a day.

Once the timber is gathered, it's time to trim. This Anna can't help much, because there is only one dagger. But while Ah Hai was cutting the wood, Anna was not idle, and she had been collecting weeds nearby. It can be very cold in winter, and these weeds can be bundled up and attached to the exterior wall, not only to keep out the cold wind, but also to keep the hut warm in so-so. There are a lot of weeds needed to build a wooden house, but fortunately there are not many other weeds on the island, and there are so many kinds of weeds that Anna doesn't have a hard time collecting.

When building a wooden house, Ah Hai would go to the sea every morning, and if the weather was good, the fish caught would be dried directly under the sun, and if the weather was bad, it would be smoked and grilled. By the end, the big hut had not yet been built, and the small hut had already been stuffed with grain.

Anna looked at the small cabin full of food and felt very safe.

With so much food, I should be able to eat for a long time, right? I just don't know if it's enough to survive the winter. The weather is getting colder and colder day by day, and there are still more than four months to go, and I don't know if they will be able to survive it!

Luckily, she still has Nars behind her. Even if she really can't make it, she doesn't have to worry about them really dying here.

Before winter fell, the big log cabin was built, and after the big log house was built, Ah Hai began to try to make a boat out of the remaining wood.

By the time the first snow fell, the boat had already begun to take shape.

January and February are the coldest times, but as long as he survives these two months, he can go back.

In order to survive the winter, Ah Hai did not try to hunt fur beasts in the forest, but they did not encounter large beasts again, so the plan to make winter clothes did not go smoothly. As a last resort, they had to spread the big wooden house with dried weeds. All winter, they were almost confined to the hut and never went out. In order to keep out the cold, there were always two fires lit in the wooden house, and they slept in the middle of the fires.

Anna has been running away from Ah Hai's feelings for her, Xu knew Anna's evasion, Ah Hai didn't mention it again, the two seemed to have resumed their normal brother and sister relationship, and no one stepped into the thunder pool again.

Anna has been anxious about the task of the strategy, but Ah Hai seems to be completely down-to-earth.

It was snowing heavily, and it had been snowing for days, almost knee-high, but the sea had not frozen.

It wasn't too cold because there was a fire in the cabin, but the cold wind coming in through the crack in the door honestly told her how cold it was outside. Anna peeked out through the crack in the door, the snow was icy and snowy, and there was white snow everywhere.

And snow cover has the advantage that they don't have to worry about finding fresh water anymore.

"Anna, what are you looking at?" I don't know when, Ah Hai appeared behind her, Anna heard Ah Hai's voice, and her body couldn't help but stiffen.

"Look at the snow. Anna replied in a bit of a panic, and involuntarily closed the door, only to find that the door was closed.

Ah Hai suddenly smiled and couldn't help but rub Anna's hair.

Anna couldn't help but shrink, she hadn't washed her hair for a long time, and she couldn't be embarrassed to be touched like this by Ah Hai.
