Chapter 6 Sudden Rainfall
After eating and drinking, the two had a good night's rest, and when they woke up in the morning, they found that they were sleeping together, Cheng Ran glanced at Li Yuxin, who turned his face with a shy face, smiled and walked out.
Cheng Ran went to pick up the firewood needed today, and went to find some hay and dried leaves to spread in the shelter, so that the two of them could sleep more comfortably at night.
At this time, Li Yuxin also cooked breakfast, and Cheng Ran, who had finished eating, planned to make a few spoons.
The two of them ate a lot of shells before, and Cheng Ran found a few of the most suitable ones, which were almost the same shape as spoons and would not leak, and the rest would be just a spoon handle.
In order to prevent bad things and bad ones, Cheng Ran specially did a lot more, anyway, there is no shortage of this thing at the beach.
There was nothing else Cheng Ran could only do, so he made it with branches, found a dozen or so branches that were relatively straight and still fresh, and took them back to the shelter.
First split one end of the branch a little from the middle with a stone, then stuff the shell through the gap, then weave a few ropes out of rattan bark, and tie the joints tightly with ropes, so that the spoon is ready, not very strong, but it should be enough for soup.
Cheng Ran did it for a while, finished all the branches, and the final product was six, which should be enough for a long time.
Cheng Ran also wants to make a better shelter, this shelter is directly lying on the ground, unable to avoid insects, and does not have the ability to shelter from the wind and rain, Li Yuxin has several bags of stings on her body.
There was a strong wind blowing on the island, the waves washed the beach wave after wave, all kinds of trees were shaking violently from side to side, and in less than two minutes, the shelter was blown away by gusts of wind, Li Yuxin was frightened and cried when she saw the shelter being blown away, and hugged Cheng Ran deadly.
What scared Cheng Ran the most was that the fire was also crumbling in the wind; So Cheng Ran hurriedly added a handful of firewood to the fire, with the help of the wind, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the consumption of firewood was relatively fast, and I didn't know if the firewood in the village was enough to support it until the end.
At this time, Cheng Ran didn't dare to be sloppy at all, keeping the fire is that tomorrow can still live as happily as today, if he can't keep it, it will really be a night back before liberation.
The shelter has been blown away by the wind, and it looks like it's going to be a problem to sleep tonight.
The wind blew for almost half an hour, and there was thunder not far away, and a few bright lightning bolts could be seen, and now both of them wanted to die.
Cheng Ran's subconscious was to throw the remaining firewood on the fire, but before he threw much of it, the heavy rain was falling, and the rain on the island was pouring down, and the fire only lasted less than a minute before it was extinguished.
At the moment of extinguishing the fire, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and the sun overhead also lost its light under the cover of dark clouds, which made people feel depressed.
The two of them stood alone in the heavy rain, they had never been so scared since they went to the island, except for the sound of the waves and the deafening thunder in the distance, and the surrounding situation could only be some when there was lightning, and most of the rest of the situation could not see anything clearly even if they opened their eyes wide.
At this time when he couldn't see anything clearly, Cheng Ran didn't dare to go deep into the forest, although the wind in the forest might be a little smaller, it seemed that it was still too swollen the day before yesterday, and he didn't consider this kind of weather at all, you must know that at this time, on tropical islands, storms can come at any time.
At this time, the two were already a little desperate.
Cheng Ran ran to the coconut tree with Li Yuxin in his arms, and ran to cover the firewood he had collected before with banana leaves, and brought a banana leaf to cover Li Yuxin's head, Li Yuxin was immediately moved to tears.
Cheng Ran had no choice but to hope that the rain would pass soon, and the rest could only wait until the rain stopped.
After about half an hour, the rain gradually subsided, and after a while, it stopped completely, and the dark clouds in the sky came and went quickly, and the sun came out after a while after the rain stopped.
The two of them who were soaked in water walked to the side of the shelter, it was as messy as the disaster scene, because the shelter was gone, they had to start from scratch, at this time Li Yuxin coughed for a while, Cheng Ran felt that the top priority now was to light the fire first.
Thanks to the fact that the firewood was covered with banana leaves, and the firewood was still a little dry, these were enough to cause a fire, as long as it could cause a fire, as for those damp roasts, it would be fine.
According to the method of lighting the fire last time, the time used this time was shorter than the last time, and the fire would rise after a while, Cheng Ran first put the dry firewood on it, and when the fire was bigger, he put some damp firewood on it, and it didn't take long for the smoke to get bigger, and then helped Li Yuxin to sit by the fire and said, "You have a good rest, everything has me." ”
Li Yuxin had a fever, and Cheng Ran was a little anxious, so he could only quickly rebuild the shelter.
With the experience of the last time, coupled with some anxiety, it only took about two and a half hours to build it, and then Li Yuxin was hugged in, and some shell soup was burned and fed to Li Yuxin to drink.
Cheng Ran walked to the beach, hoping to catch a few fish to replenish Li Yuxin's body.
Cheng Ran came to a reef and stretched out his hand to touch the crack of the reef, and suddenly a palm-sized crab came out of the mud pit, and Cheng Ran could see it clearly.
When the big crab saw that his hiding place was discovered, he was so frightened that he wanted to slip away, where could Cheng Ran let go of such an important food and slip away, and quickly caught the crab.
Next, Cheng Ran threw the crab in the basket, afraid that it would run away and covered it with something.
Since this crab can be caught, it means that there are more crabs in the vicinity, which could not be eaten before, there is no way to cook them, and the crabs can be cooked before eating, Cheng Ran also started the idea of crabs again, and continued to search for places where crabs may appear nearby.
Now that Li Yuxin is sick and has a fever, it is the time when she needs to supplement her nutrition, and she can get better quickly if she can eat more nutrients for her at this time.
In this way, Cheng Ran began to catch up with the sea, he did not live by the sea since he was a child, he was not very skilled in catching the sea, and it was pure luck to be able to catch crabs.
Fortunately, there are a lot of shells and conch on the beach, and I always don't encounter any difficulties when catching these things, Cheng Ran picked up a lot of them back and forth on the beach.
When Cheng Ran went back, he picked up two big crabs and a lot of shell conch.
