The eighty-eighth day, in full swing (II)
It was hot at noon, and after eating, Brother Qian asked everyone to rest, after all, everyone got up early today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And with the straw mat made of "one and a half", you can sleep on it in the shade of a tree, which is really comfortable.
Seeing me looking at them, "One and a half" finally reacted, and ran to the place where they were stacking things in a few steps, pulled out a straw mat from under the pile, and brought it to me.
"Brother Luo, I'm sorry, I forgot to give it to you, I still have a few pieces here, you can take this piece and use it first. He handed the mat apologetically.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao. "Since people are so sincere, I am embarrassed to call him "one and a half" or call Brother Zhao, after all, his real name is Zhao Laoqi......
I didn't feel very sleepy because I had made up for sleep in the morning, and everyone else around me was already snoring, but I still didn't feel sleepy, and I was very comfortable lying in the shade, so I had no intention of getting up.
After being bored, I thought about it again, and I didn't know if I would be able to leave here in this life, and I didn't know why there was no rescue. I don't know when this day will be a head......
Just as I was thinking, all of a sudden, a shadow fell over us! Isn't it? I was shocked! Is it going to rain again?
When I sat up and looked up, I realized that something was wrong, and several dark and thick clouds in the distance were drifting towards me. This completely disrupted our original plan, and if it rained, the salt that had dried in front of them would be wasted, and their house would not be able to be built.
Thinking of this, I immediately jumped up and shouted at them: "Brothers, it's going to rain, hurry up!"
Hearing that it was going to rain, Brother Qian and the others immediately got up from the straw mat, and immediately looked up, everyone saw the dark clouds that were drifting, and no one said a word, so they rushed to the edge of the tree house together and began to get busy quickly.
"The roof and walls are done first, and the waterproofing work is done first. Everything else can be done slowly over the next few days. Let's finish these two things first!" Brother Qian stood in front of the tree house, directing them and getting busy together.
There are more and more dark clouds, and according to Brother Qian, once this rain falls, it will not end in a short time. This coincides with my opinion, these clouds are so thick that they are very similar to the last time it rained for a few days, and we are running out of time.
Without further delay, I rushed straight to the treehouse, picked up the basin on the table in the house, and rushed to the beach. I hope that all the salt I've been drying up in the past few days has dried, or else when this rain falls, all my efforts will be wasted. I definitely don't want that outcome. The salt was almost running out, and although they brought some salt, I don't know if it was because of the stone pot or what, the salt they cooked had some peculiar smell, but the salt I dried did not.
Finally arrived, although the rain had not yet started, but it was already a lot darker, and there was not much time, and it was likely that the rain would fall in the next second. As for Brother Qian, whether they can do a good job of the roof of the treehouse in such a short period of time is no longer in the scope of my concern. I really can't do it, so I have to let them live in my treehouse first.
Unexpectedly, the sea water in this reef pit has already been dried, and there are many salt rock crystal particles at the bottom, and there will also be a lot of impurities, such as sand, pebbles, leaves and other things. It's a bit of a hassle if these things are there, but I've come up with a brilliant idea, filtering! As for what to filter, I've already figured it out. Wait as soon as possible to sweep up these salt crystal particles and bring them all back. If it rains in the next few days, you can filter all this salt, after all, the sand or something in it still affects the taste, and you may hit your teeth if you are not careful.
As always, I found a handful of dead grass and mixed the salt crystals with the sand, and quickly picked them up and put them in a pot. Even though I was already using the fastest speed, it still took about 20 minutes.
At this moment, the sky was completely covered with dark clouds, as if night was coming, and the whole world was completely dark. The rainstorm was coming, and there were already raindrops bigger than soybeans falling, so I had to put the basin on my chest to protect it in order to prevent the salt crystal particles from getting wet from the rain. As fast as you can, run towards the treehouse. I don't remember how many times I tripped up, but luckily I didn't fall, I just wanted to get back to the treehouse as soon as possible.
The rain is already very dense, even if the basin is tightly protected, there is no way to stop the rain from falling in, and the sound of the rain hitting the body is very painful. But I can only endure it, and I can only feel at ease when I return to the treehouse.
The treehouse finally arrived, and to my surprise, Brother Qian and the others were still working hard to build the house, but unfortunately, through the dense rain curtains, I saw that the roof of their treehouse was half completed, maybe give them a little more time to finish. But the sudden rain shattered this possibility.
When I ran into the treehouse, I found that all the salt crystals I had collected had been remelted by the rainwater, and half of them had been melted into the rainwater.
I was soaked, but after putting down the basin, I ran out again. They're still busy outside, so there's no way I'm going to just stay in the treehouse and hide from the rain. When I went out, I also saw that my house was already full of firewood and the things they had brought. It seems that they have already moved in advance.
"How's it going?" I asked aloud after the rain was very dense and noisy, and I asked loudly after coming to Brother Qian's vicinity.
"Let's do it for a while, and it's done! You can wait for the rain to get it later!" Brother Qian looked at me and replied loudly.
"Why don't you stop now? The rain is so heavy, can the brothers bear it?" Thinking that the last time I just went to dig a drainage ditch, I fell ill with a high fever and almost died. I have a deeper fear of this kind of rainy day.
"If you don't make this roof, the treehouse will be ruined! If too much rainwater comes in, it will not dry out easily, and it will become moldy or even rotten. As long as we finish it now, the rainwater can't come in, and the treehouse can still be used!" Brother Qian saw me questioning, and explained to me quickly.
"Okay, what can I do?"
"Brother Luo, you can go in, if you can, help the brothers make some hot porridge, and after finishing this roof in a while, everyone can warm up!"
"Okay, Brother Qian, then I'll go!" Brother Qian said this, and I won't say more, after all, what he said is very reasonable, it is indeed a good choice to have a hot porridge to ward off the cold, and after eating, they can rest immediately. The rest can be resumed tomorrow.
