45 Fallen Dragons (14)
The eve of the storm was anything but quiet, the thunder overhead was dull and roaring, the roar of the waves was still audible through the forest, and the leaves of the palm trees around the triangular shed were constantly fluttering in the chaos of the wind, making a violent whooshing sound.
During the day, the two of them, who were still chatting idly, were busy reinforcing the small shed, and at the same time placing dense shells on the surface of the flat stone not far away—although they had a water source, it was muddy, and every time they took water, they could see a significant drop, but the next day they did not recover much, so they had the opportunity to replenish a new water source now, and naturally they would not let it go.
It was only when the storm actually came that they found that such preparations were useless.
Dark clouds obscured the otherwise clear sky, and the wind fell diagonally with countless bean-sized raindrops, and the sound of leaves and rain hitting each other mixed with the sound of the forest being violently blown up, it looked violent and chaotic.
It didn't take long for the heavier rain to pour down, and the huge impact and wind that fell from the sky blew the neatly arranged shells in all directions, even if some were deliberately fixed, and most of them disappeared into the dark forest in a short time.
Rhaenys was not too worried about the storm, after all, she was no longer at sea at this time, and she claimed that she never got sick, and even when the rain had just fallen, she ran out and looked up to drink, but after a while she came back like a chicken in soup, and her face was full of gloom.
"Can you imagine what it's like to be slapped in the face by water?"
Lan Li was staring vigilantly at the grass huts on both sides at this time, a little worried about whether this sheltered dwelling could withstand everything outside, Wen Yan glanced at the other party, but then withdrew his gaze.
The other party's nagging did not stop.
"Valyria has always had a legend that the Sunset Land will breed a catastrophe that will destroy the whole world, so the ancient dragonlords only built an outpost on Dragonstone Island on the edge of Westeros, and didn't really plan to come here until our family - I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it a little."
As she spoke, she suddenly found something, and couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled slyly, and then deliberately swayed in front of Lan Li's eyes with broken steps, but accidentally stepped on a slippery puddle that seeped into the edge, and even fell directly on the horse's stomach, and the already chicken-like image was even more embarrassed.
Screams and laughter resonated in the triangular canopy.
It's a pity that after a while they weren't in the mood to play around like this anymore—
As Lan Li feared, this small shed could not last long in the storm, and when a violent wind hit, the wooden frame firmly fixed to the ground and the forks of the trees on both sides could no longer support it, and it directly creaked and collapsed to the side, and even the entire shed instantly dried up and collapsed.
So much so that the two of them had to hurry away with a few large plantain leaves, and then wither together on the side of the nearby big rock in the heavy rain.
It's a pity that this stone can't completely block the wind and rain, and even the two people leaning next to each other are getting more and more embarrassed.
The furious noise around him continued to hit, and the dark sky above him also rumbled, and the woods in all directions were deep and pitch black, with the occasional burst of lightning flashing to reveal a bleak white rainforest scene.
There was a voice coming from beside him, but he couldn't hear it clearly because the noise around him was too loud. But after a while, Lan Li felt the woman next to him shrink into his arms, and then buried his face in his chest clothes, the warm breath and a cold skin touch made Lan Li feel a little strange in his heart, but this emotion quickly disappeared without a trace under the continuous cold.
The torrential rain was pouring down, the roar was hidden in the endless darkness, and the wind was mostly obscured by the large rocks behind it, but it could not completely stop its harassment. The rocky ground against it was higher than the surrounding land, and it hadn't accumulated water from the heavy rain, but the erosion that was falling overhead was still unbearable.
Being in the woods, I vaguely heard the sound of the waves outside the woods crashing against the reef, and a small brown squirrel that was soaked soaked in water dodged at some point, and now it was staring at Lan Li cautiously, with a shrug nose, and Lan Li saw it and picked it up and covered it in his hand.
Dampness was everywhere, and the cold was constantly penetrating and precipitating deep in his body, and the continuous cold for some reason made him feel a little dazed, and finally he even fell asleep, and all the chaos around him was thrown out of the darkness.
……
When he woke up again, his surroundings had become peaceful.
The sun was high overhead, and the warm sunlight kept expelling the coldness in his body, and the ground on his palms was still damp, but the big rocks behind him had become much drier.
The sound of the sea breeze blowing the leaves slowly, the sound of the waves crashing against the reef in the distance was also clearly audible, and the person in his arms had left at some point, and the little squirrel in his hand had also disappeared without a trace.
Standing up, his bones crackled as he stretched his body, and Lan Li glanced around and faintly heard a movement. So I walked into the woods on the left, and after a while, I saw Rhaenys who was pinching the leaves of the plantain with her head up.
"Come on, we're going to start over." The other party obviously heard the movement as well, so he shouted without looking back: "I won't get sick, but you may not." You've got to be glad about that, or we're in two troubles. ”
Hopefully you really won't get sick. Lan Li thought to herself, but she didn't refuse, and then followed to collect the necessary raw materials to rebuild the shed.
It's just that he doesn't have much of an extravagant expectation for this.
"I have a hunch that this is just a wasted effort." After plucking a banana leaf, Lan Li said to Rhaenys beside her.
"Why?" The other man turned his head to look at him strangely.
"A storm, of course." Lan Li replied: "I think it's the season of heavy rains, you see how many times we've encountered it. ”
Rhaenys nodded in agreement, but then said, "Then you can't do nothing, you want to sleep on the stone, I don't want to." ”
Lan Li smiled when he heard this, and then changed the subject.
"I'll go to the beach and see if something is going to wash ashore."
"Come back early." Rhaenys nodded, and suddenly leaned over and kissed Lan Li on the left cheek, then smiled at him, turned around and continued to work.
Lan Li was a little stunned by this, and then couldn't help but speak: "We won't be trapped here all the time, you don't have to—there's no need to be so desperate." ”
"Really?" The other party asked without looking back, as if he only said casually
Even if this doesn't work, I can think of other ways, even if nothing works, it's only you who will be trapped, and I'...... Lan Li wanted to speak and stopped, but after looking at the other party's busy back, he just sighed, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the beach.
There was some distraction along the way, but when he arrived at his destination, he still picked himself up and began to check his surroundings.
Unfortunately, after a long circle around the island, he did not see anything he expected, and there were no foreign wandering objects in the sun-drenched shallows of the island, except for a few coconuts and a tattered log barrel.
Lan Li was a little disappointed by this, but then he stopped thinking about it, took off his upper clothes, walked to the edge of the reef and jumped down.
After the pop, the black-haired figure disappeared completely into the shallows, and it was only after half a sound that he surfaced with an honest salmon and walked in the direction of his residence.
The situation seems to have reverted to the way it was before.
However, it was not long before another storm struck.
