The drought has been going on for nearly 60 days, and the time is also approaching the end of May, this kind of severe weather has rarely occurred even in the previous inland area, I did not expect to encounter it here!

After removing the two rains that covered the ground in the middle, it had been dry for almost two months, and I didn't know how long it would last, and my expectations turned into disappointment again and again, and there was not much to expect when it would rain......

The withering of various crops has made the structure of food unreasonable recently, so that the physical fitness has declined to a certain extent, and this should have been the season when all kinds of ingredients are abundant.

All the cassava in the cave vegetable field was dug up, and only about 50 catties were left after eating.

Some of the plants in the woods are gradually withering, and a small part has died, and the grassland mowing has become relatively easy because of a rain, but after half a month of drought, it has become a headache.

If the drought continues, I may continue to reduce the number of sheep, and it seems that this is the only way to go, and there is no other option, and the sheep have become a huge drag!

However, there was still an event that made me feel a little better today, and on the way to the woods to collect firewood, I actually found that the pineapples on the pineapple trees I had seen before were ripe.

Like mangoes, pineapples are one of my favorite fruits, but I haven't been able to notice when pineapples are ripe, and there are only a handful of pineapples that have been on the island for so long, and there are fewer opportunities to eat them in my mouth.

When I found the first pineapple, I didn't want to pick up any more firewood, but I was ready to check out all the pineapple trees I knew, and if I missed this delicious fruit, I would have to wait another year!

And it not only tastes great as a fruit, but also as a grain, a pineapple can almost top more than a pound of food.

After a trip, I didn't let down my sweat, and found three trees of different sizes, but because of the long-term drought, the remaining trees may not be ripe, and some trees are even in a dead state.

The three pineapples I found were one-third smaller than normal, and the moisture inside was far from the same when I cut them, but it was already a gift to me, who hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time, and it still tasted like pineapple!

Although I wanted to eat all three of them in one go, I decided to eat one every two days for the remaining two, and it was not just a fruit.

In addition to being a fruit, it has greatly improved my symptoms such as vitamin C deficiency and constipation, especially vitamin C, which I feel is lacking in Kamishima to this day.

......

Two days later, the situation seems to have changed radically on the third day, and unlike the previous two times, the signs of rain appeared at night, which seemed to be more reliable than during the day!

The night was quiet in the early hours of the morning, and it was still dark outside, and I was praying in my sleep for God to rain on me, when a thunderclap came into my ears and woke me up......

When I heard the thunder, I didn't feel sleepy anymore, and I rolled over and sat up!

There was no new thunder for the next three or four minutes, which made me think I was hallucinating, and I wondered if it was due to a trance.

But sitting on the bed in a state of great consciousness at the moment, a lightning bolt lit up the room, and then a second thunder came into my ears again, and then I knew that it was true!!

It's really thundering outside, and the thunder is getting closer!

Here comes hope......

I wanted to go out and have a look, but because there were no lights and the dark sky was darkened by the dark clouds, I didn't rush out to open the door and check it out.

Instead, I lay down on the bed again to calm down, thinking that I was not so easy to deceive about the first two experiences, and everything was still empty talk before the rain fell, especially before the heavy rain, I just wanted to wait for the facts to dispel my doubts!

Half an hour later, the thunder sounded louder from far and near, and then it was like exploding on the surface of the sea not far away, and it felt like the whole ground and people were shaking with it......

Normally, thunder is accompanied by strong winds, but this time it is different, there is hardly any wind outside, and all kinds of signs tell me that this time God is real, and the rain should be stable......

Waiting for the rain to come made me sleep, but not hearing the sound of the rain made me secretly anxious, even if I took it for granted.

But if it really doesn't rain, I can only look up at the sky, speechless......

Another twenty minutes passed, and when I was a little discouraged, the dark clouds that had been brewing for a long time finally showed their generosity, and the rain fell!

......

The raindrops the size of beans crackled on the rooftops, and you could feel them menacing by listening to the sound, as if they knew that the long-dry land needed them to save it!

The pouring rain outside was so tempting, I couldn't sit still in bed, and it was as if there were countless cats tickling it.

I haven't taken a serious bath with fresh water since the first week of the drought, although the second rain in the middle can be regarded as a heavy rain, and half a month has passed since now, especially when there is still a trip to the sea.

I didn't take a shower for a long time, and the salt stains and sweat on my body were mixed together, and it was estimated that people standing ten meters away would faint, and at this time it really took a heavy rain to wash off the dirt on my body!

The moment I opened the door, I rushed into the rain and began to dance to accept the baptism of heavy rain, I had never felt that rain was so precious and so lovely.

While receiving the heavy rain to wash my whole body, I even opened my mouth to follow the rain in the sky, which people who have never experienced it will not experience this feeling, almost like the feeling of a person who has been hungry for three or five days when he sees a big meal!

Although this analogy is not appropriate, because people who have been hungry for a few days do not overeat at first, but eat a little to soothe the body first, and then eat slowly, the intuitive feeling is similar.

After more than ten minutes of repeated rubbing, I felt that the dirt that had been stored on my body for a long time had finally left me, and then I slowly returned to my room.

The rain is still falling, which means that the drought is finally over!

After 59 days of drought, the two rains in the middle were not effective rainfall, because even if the second rain was relatively large, it was very weak to help me, and there was no new water inflow from the well.

There is nothing more gratifying than the fact that the two-month drought has finally come to an end, even at the thought that all the crops need to be replanted!

After the rain and sunny days, it is not just about replanting seeds, but also about many things in the house, especially the clothes and straw mats, which have long been so dirty that they cannot be seen.

......

After drying myself off, I went back to bed, and after the excitement was over, I was ready to go back to sleep, after all, it was still early in the morning, and I guess it would be raining for a while.

After taking a shower, I felt much more refreshed, and my movements seemed to be more agile, and I fell asleep again within a few minutes of falling into bed.

Maybe it's the boulder that has been pressing in my heart for a long time that disappears at this moment, and the strings that have been collapsing can also be relaxed, and the long-lost good sleep is back again!

I have to say that during this period of drought, my sad face is almost my fixed expression, in addition to living a bad life, the quality of sleep is indeed much worse than before, and I will even wake up more than five times a night.

I can think that I am sick, and the rain is the cure for this disease, and now that the medicine is here, the natural insomnia is also driven away!

Listening to the sound of the rain outside, there is no better sleep than at this time, and when you wake up, it will be at least nine o'clock in the morning, or even ten o'clock in the morning.

The rain outside has not stopped, and I would have felt bored again on a rainy day before, but at this time I did not feel any unpleasantness, but hoped that it would rain a little longer, this land is so much in need of nourishment!

I began to put my pots and buckets under the eaves of the house and then flow down the water columns, and although the drought eased for a while, it would take at least a day or two for the well to be filled again.

A heavy rain not only solved my survival problem once and for all, but also brought the whole island back to life, and my swimming pool was refilled with fresh water!

Taking advantage of the rain, I also moved all the tools and items that needed to be cleaned outside to the drying area, and washed them one by one, even after sleeping on the straw mat, I had to wash them again.

The most important thing to wash is clothes and straw mats, almost to the point that you can only brush them with a brush, and the rest are all kinds of pots and pans and other kitchen supplies, usually only the main ones are washed, and most of them are cold because of lack of water to accumulate a thick layer of ash.

......

When it rains, it is busy, and after the rain, it can only be more busy, and it is foreseeable that it will be busy in the field for a long time to come.

In fact, it is more cost-effective to think about it this way or last year's rainy season, even if it will be busy for a while after the rain, at least it will be idle for dozens of days when it rains!

And the two months of drought almost did not take a day off, every day was busy doing various things, finally looking forward to the rain, this busyness will only get worse, think about it is still a little unbalanced!

The rain did not stop until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and more than ten hours of heavy rain was enough to bring water to the well, and it also announced the end of this drought!

It was still three or four hours before dark, and except for the two or three hours that would take up to mow the sheep, I didn't even let go of the last hour, digging out the seedbed where the seedlings were to be cultivated first.

Now I want to use the fastest time to cultivate the seedlings of various crops, and it has been two full months late, and no matter how late it is, it will not be able to harvest during the New Year.

It will affect some of the yields, but I don't have any better options, the only thing I can do now is to replant as soon as possible!

The next day, the seedbed was dug and fertilized again, and the corn and greens seeds were first replanted in the ground.

One or two hundred sweet potatoes have been carefully cared for by me for two months, and now the vine is more than a meter long, and it can be transplanted, except for the reduction of the scale, it has the least impact!
