More than a dozen sweet potato vines have grown lushly, and seeing that the wind and rain have been good recently, I cut them into small sections and planted them in the ground.

The area is not bad, slightly more than the initial projection, about 15 square meters.

The planting of sweet potatoes also marks the end of this year's planting task, and there is more time!

I plan to build a second room that has been shelved for a few months, and with the help of metal tools to improve efficiency, I am very confident that the construction time of the second room will be reduced from 25 days last year to half a month or even less than 10 days!

First of all, the contrast is most obvious in the collection of wood, the preparation time of the wood for the main frame of the first room was more than a week, and this time it took only three days with the help of an axe, saving almost half of the time for almost every step.

This time, instead of digging a hole, he stood directly on a ladder and drove a sharpened stump into the ground.

A week later, the main frame was completed and the topping out began, and twelve days later, the construction of the second room was completed, and several houses were connected into a single unit.

A small thorn in my heart has finally been pulled out, and I don't have to worry about building a house in the future!

......

In the next few days, the days were leisurely again, and the daily work was to take care of the crops in the fields, wander around the island, fish, etc.

It won't be as pleasant as it is in a while, especially in August and September when the temperature is close to around 40 degrees Celsius, and it's as hot as being in a steamer every day!

When the time comes in May, the climate begins to change as the temperature rises, especially the thunderstorms in summer.

At this time, I was making my daily rounds in the woods to see if there were any new crops or to collect some medicinal herbs. Suddenly, I felt that the sun hanging overhead was covered by clouds, and when I looked up, I saw that it was a large black cloud.

Looking at this situation, I realized that a short period of heavy rainfall should be inevitable, and I began to rush home!

However, it didn't take more than five minutes, and I didn't even walk half of the distance, and a heavy rain hit my head and I didn't even have a place to hide, and I didn't even have such a quick ......

In desperation, I had to wait for the rain to rest under a big tree before leaving, but fortunately, it was not like an open place in the woods to hide under the tree for fear of lightning strikes.

The rain came and went quickly, and after just half an hour, the rain cleared, and the sun shone on the earth again, and all I could express was depressed!

The smell of plants and earth in the air after the rain, combined with the steam mixed in after the sun shines, smells very strange, and there is nothing surprising about it.

It's not cold to take a cold shower this season, let alone the clothes wet by the rain, I simply took off my clothes and exposed my upper body, anyway, no one else can see it, but it's a pity that no one can appreciate such a perfect body, it's a pity!

......

The next day, a routine tour of the island began, and during this time, it was basically maintained for about five days around the island to see if there were any new ships and to find supplies.

The things I picked up were basically all kinds of bottles and plastic bags, and I was a little disappointed that the harvest was not big, and I still planned to adjust the time to once a week to ten days.

In addition, today's air pressure is not right, and the clouds are similar to the symptoms of the last typhoon, which may be a precursor to the arrival of a typhoon!

The location of the island is uncertain, but if you know the approximate location, you can determine the frequency of typhoons passing by.

Although not very prepared, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean are certainly not the same.

As the symptoms before the typhoon became more and more apparent, and another typhoon was certain, I was of course filled with fear and apprehension about the devastating natural disaster.

I worry about whether the house will not be able to withstand the wind, worry about the destruction of the crops in the field, and even worry about my life, anyway......

It didn't seem to be useful to worry about it, but the more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I forced myself to calm down, and I had to prepare for a typhoon.

Even if you have experienced a typhoon, you can say that you have some experience, but this time it is different from being in a cave.

Now it's in the open air, and you have to worry about crops and fish ponds, there is a saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear them, and now they are more worried about wearing shoes!

It would be close to a day before the wind was strong enough to interfere with normal activities, but the preparations could not be delayed any longer, and I was quickly moving all the things that were normally placed outside the house into the house.

......

Then he went to the woods to collect firewood and fished two fish back home to make food and reinforce around the pond.

The drains in the crop fields have been increased by two, and the previous ones have been enlarged a bit, and for the time being there seems to be only that for the time being.

Any natural disaster contains a huge amount of energy, and when you face it, you always feel a sense of powerlessness in your heart, and I even start to worry about the safety of the house, even though every piece of wood and every joint in it is done by hand!

Originally, I was going to go directly into the house to hide, but I still didn't know the bottom of my heart after thinking about it, and finally found a few wooden sticks with thick arms to cross the roof and press the hay on the roof.

The biggest worry is that the roof will be overturned, and it is conceivable that the consequences will be very serious.

At this time, a new problem arose, several rooms did not have doors, which was a huge security vulnerability, and the pull force of strong winds entering the house could directly overturn the house.

I don't usually think about the threat of typhoons at all, but I just sleep at night with a few wooden sticks to slash to increase my sense of security.

Apparently it's too late to make two practical doors, and I'm thinking of a remedy.

I used an axe to chop all the wooden sticks I usually collected into a length of less than two meters, and put them tightly on the door frame in turn, then tied two pieces of wood horizontally with ropes, and finally lined them with several logs.

Although it can't be completely windproof, at least it can prevent eight or ninety percent of it, but it took nearly two hours to hurry up with the two leaky doors, and the wind outside was so strong that you couldn't go out!

All kinds of things that can increase the sense of security and security have been done, and the next thing is to see how things develop, or resign yourself to fate!

......

Thanks to the existence of the kitchen now, at least the comfort level is much better than last year when I was in the cave, and now I feel very miserable when I think about that experience.

Hunger for two or three days in a dark hole, especially in a cramped space where you can barely move, can make you shut yourself up after staying for a long time!

Listening to the howling wind outside, I simply started cooking dinner in the kitchen, and now the wind was so strong that the fire could not be lit any later.

Fortunately, several rooms are connected, and you only need to block the door of the first room and the kitchen to completely isolate it from the outside, otherwise it will be more troublesome.

After dinner, the wind was already more than 10, and only the sound of the wind outside was like a "tiger roaring mountain forest" in both ears.

At this time, I began to feel insecure psychologically, and I was worried about my life at any time!

The strongest winds of the typhoon arrived at noon the next day, and I remained awake throughout the night because I was scared all night.

Suddenly there was a loud "boom", and the house began to be accompanied by strong winds, and in my judgment it was that somewhere in the house was blown open or collapsed, and the only thing that was certain was that the room in which I slept was still intact!

The heart that was already very nervous at this time is not to mention how nervous it is, and it is almost scared out of the heart attack!

Since it was night, and the wind and rain were heavy during the typhoon, there was little visibility at all, and the strong wind blowing inside the house could not light the fire, and even though I knew what was blown open, there was nothing I could do.

My mind was in a mess right now, and I buried myself in a deeper haystack to give myself more psychological security.

The only thing to be happy about at this time is that the first house has not been blown open, otherwise it would have been shivering in the wind at night......

The rest of the time was even more worried, but fortunately nothing else happened, until the wind weakened in the afternoon, and I knew that this catastrophe had been avoided by the heart and powerlessness!

Even if the maximum wind passes, there is still no way to go out, and it may not be until tomorrow to return to normal, so there is no obstacle to check the damage to the house.

The situation was slightly better than expected, the top of the kitchen was blown open, but there was still a trace of affection left for me, and only one hole was torn open, about a third of the total area.

I'm still a little surprised at how the other half managed to hold on after the wind came in!

......

The bad news is that the rain has smashed down the cracks in the blown roof and drenched the entire kitchen, and it seems that breakfast is over, so we have to wait for the rain to stop before we can find a solution.

Now the emergency food is peanuts stored in clay pots, and eating a lot of them suppresses hunger.

It was still raining, so I moved the unsoaked firewood from the kitchen to the second room, and then most of the things in the kitchen, and it seemed that it would take another three or four days to fix the roof after the typhoon.

The rain stopped near evening, and the typhoon was almost far away, so it was embarrassing, so I ate two more handfuls of peanuts and began to make up for the lost sleep in the past two days.

There are a lot of things to deal with the next day, and I am also very worried about the crops in the field, their impact is very large, directly related to food and clothing!

I first cleaned out all the soaked firewood in the kitchen, and built a few stones in the open air to make a simple stove and began to cook the fish.

The two fish that were originally caught were kept in a water basin to be eaten during the typhoon, but they were not eaten.....

After a simple breakfast, I checked the crops in the field one by one, including fish ponds, and the crops in the field, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and green vegetables, because the plants are not high, the impact is not great.

Only dozens of greens have been blown away, and the corn seedlings have grown to thirty or forty centimeters, which has a relatively large impact, and nearly 100 trees have been lifted up, and the loss is about 100 trees, which cannot be said to be a heavy loss, but there are also 120 percent of the total!

Of course, I feel distressed, every tree that falls is my hard work and food that can be eaten in my mouth!!

The situation in the fish pond is similar, most of the fish are still there, and the inside must have overflowed after being replenished by heavy rain, although now it has fallen back about ten centimeters from the overflow.

But seeing a few fish stuck in the fence, and I also picked up a few fish about half a pound below the current, it seems that some small fish must have slipped away along the current.
