Chapter 24: Heavy Rain

Although he doesn't eat it himself, the fish head can feed his pet giant turtle. Whether bathing or fishing, Quan Hao has been keeping an eye on the turtles not far away. It still flapped a few times from time to time, trying to roll over on its own. When Jeon Hao approached it, it shifted its position and turned its head in the direction of the sea again. It seems that he still hasn't given up.

The sea turtle was a little wilted from the sun. The head was not as bright as it used to be, and the armor was dry. But its spirit is fine, and when it sees Quan Hao, it still wants to escape. Quan Hao shook the kettle pinned to his waist, there was still some water in it, and he poured it on the turtle's head. Excited by the current, the turtle was suddenly shocked. And because it tasted fresh water, it opened its mouth wide and wanted to drink more. But Quan Hao's kettle could only hold one liter of water, and he drank most of it himself. So soon the kettle was empty. The turtle who didn't enjoy it had to look at him with a blank eye. Quan Hao was embarrassed to see it. The water was gone, so he had to cut the head of the fish into several pieces and feed it piece by piece. Not by hand, of course, but on a javelin. He didn't dare put his hand in the turtle's mouth.

I don't know if I'm hungry, but the turtles don't refuse. The head of the fish was cut open and the size was just right for it to swallow, and it was destroyed in a few bites. After eating, it opened its mouth, obviously wanting it. Quan Hao couldn't bear to refuse, and if you have a pet, you have to have a pet. The turtle's current situation is entirely caused by him. And he broke the body of the sea bream. I took out the internal organs and tried to feed them, but the turtles ate them too. He cut the fish into strips and fed them one by one.

Most of the sea bream, which weighs more than five pounds, are eaten by sea turtles. Quan Hao only left a small piece for himself. It wasn't something he left on purpose, but something he remembered. He had heard from a friend who had a turtle that the turtle should not be fed too much, otherwise it would die. He wondered if turtles were the same. Although this turtle seems to be quite intelligent, it does not look like it can hold itself to death. But three or four catties of fish are not a lot, at least they won't starve it.

A fish with a long arm, only a palm-sized section is left in a while. It's only a pound in weight, and it will definitely shrink if you bake it. Forget it, you can't just eat fish for dinner. Quan Hao comforted himself like this. Before leaving, he sprinkled sea water on the turtle's belly carapace and fished out a few bunches of seaweed to shade it.

He also caught crabs and shells on the beach. This time, I was familiar with the road and soon returned with a full load. It was still early when we got back to camp. Quan Hao salted the fish, but the crab still removed its claws. I made another trip to the Southern Peninsula and brought back firewood and a large number of banana leaves.

The campfire was bright that night. Quan Hao was eating grilled fish, nibbling on crabs, counting the stars in the sky and singing, so comfortable.

On the third day, Quan Hao still left for the South Peninsula after breakfast. This time he went two kilometers deep into the woods, and when he realized that it was becoming more and more difficult to discern the direction, he retreated. The harvest is not much, and now there are rats on the island. If you can catch it, you can raise a few to test the poison, he is too entangled in the problem of what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, such as several wild fruits found this time, because he is not familiar with any of them. Another catch is a half-moon-shaped pool of thousands of square meters. The water is shallow and clear, and the gravel underneath is clearly visible. There are three streams that flow into the pond from different directions, including the creek where Quan Hao first appeared. The stream crashes against the water, making a murmuring sound. It adds a bit of agility to the secluded forest. Jeon Ho jumped in almost cheering, finally able to take a good shower.

On the way back, Jeon Hao encountered the first rain since going to the island. The rain fell very suddenly, and when he just felt that the light around him was a little dim, there was a thunderclap, and the raindrops of beans were already hitting his face. Almost instantly, the rain poured down. Quan Hao had never encountered such heavy rain. The water poured down on his head and back, barely straightening his waist. By the time he realized that he had to find a place to shelter from the rain, the sky and the earth were already white. The rain poured into his eyes, and Quan Hao tried to open his eyes, but he could only see an arm's length away. He remembered that there was a banana tree five meters to his left, but he couldn't see even a shadow. I could only move slowly from memory, waving my arms and groping, but fortunately, I finally found it. He hurriedly pulled a few leaves and draped them over his head. Then I held the rest in my hands and covered my head, and finally got a chance to breathe. There are quite a few taller trees around, so you don't have to worry about being struck by lightning.

Because this banana tree is very short, Quan Hao can only squat. As soon as I looked down, I realized that the water on the ground had overflowed my instep. He wanted to change places to hide from the rain, but it was unfamiliar. If you go across, you may get lost. I can only comfort myself: the terrain here is very high, and there is not much water to accumulate. The water flowed down the mountain to the lower elevations.

In fact, he was right, it was indeed unlikely that there would be a flash flood here. In contrast, another natural disaster, mudslides, is more likely. Later he realized, but he could do nothing but pray for a stronger surface than the mudslide.

The rain paralyzed Jeon Ho's whole body. He could only insist. Without hearing or seeing, the body enters a mechanical state, shutting down all sensory systems. In the face of the power of nature, gritting your teeth and enduring is the only option.

Tropical rain comes and goes as fast as it comes. In less than twenty minutes, the clouds had cleared, and the sun was once again shining on the land.

For nearly a minute, Quan Hao did not react at all. I have been sheltering from the rain and have not moved. Then he suddenly shuddered and could not stand still. Dancing like a zombie in a movie. It was true that the muscles all over his body had stiffened. Those 20 minutes were nothing short of torture for him, and every second was torment.

It took another five minutes for his mind to clear. He looked left and right, a little dazed, not knowing what to do next. Most of the enthusiasm in my heart was extinguished by this pouring rain. Quan Hao asked himself, does he really have the ability to build a good island? In the past, he didn't think it was a big problem, but this time, his confidence was not so strong.

Heavy rain is just a common occurrence in the tropics. There are also storms, thunderstorms, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes. No kind of catastrophe can be fought by a small human being. At this moment, Quan Hao misses the resources of modern society very much, and needs them more urgently. However, how to accurately connect the two worlds is still an urgent problem to be solved.

So travel to the next world?" Jeon Hao vetoed after a little consideration.

I had already decided to go through the experience in the other world, how could I be frightened by this difficulty? The next world must be even more difficult, and the experience of the last time I traveled has already been summed up. Of the three worlds, this is the only one that resembles a newbie village. Don't always think about killing monsters by leapfrogging, you can't guarantee that you're the protagonist. Either work steadily, or honestly climb back to modern times to be a ** silk. You only have these two options.

Actually, a rainstorm is nothing. You knew that exploring another world would never be easy, but you were only confused by the illusion of peace. Be mentally prepared, the rainstorm is just a small meaning. It wasn't the rainstorm that almost knocked you down, it was the heart that was lucky.

Also, the next time you encounter a setback, don't dwell on it for too long, you're not so vulnerable. Quan Hao said to himself in the tone of ordering the soldiers on the front line.
