Chapter Forty-Eight: The Tempest

By the time I ran back to the cave, it was already very windy.

The fire in the marching stove was whisked and rattled.

When Su Jin and Li Shanshan saw me coming back, they greeted me as if they had found the backbone.

"Quick, help me put up the canopy, it's going to rain heavily. I said as I rolled palm leaves onto the stove.

Both of them also felt nervous from my movements. Let's help me cover the fire.

I looked at the stored firewood again, picked it up and piled it up in a sheltered place next to the cave, and covered it with leaves.

If it doesn't rain on a tropical island, it may not stop for days, and if there is no dry wood and fire, I am afraid we will have to eat raw fish.

After saving the fire, I hurriedly gathered all the bottles I had picked up, ready to catch water as soon as it rained.

A large plastic jug plus a dozen large and small bottles of mineral water, if full, is enough for the three of us to use for a week.

While the three of us were preparing for the heavy rain, the goat also came out of the woods and bleated to the cave to watch us.

It may have been the howling sea breeze that frightened it too.

But now I don't care about it. Anyway, the cave is a big protruding rock, and it can't get wet even if it hides underneath.

To be on the safe side, I took another prepared dried coconut shell, put a piece of coals in it, and closed the lid with only a small gap. The fiber in the coconut shell is very burning, the charcoal is stuffy in it, as long as it does not suffocate, it can be burned for a day, I have prepared several such coconuts, and then I have a reliable fire source.

"Boom—" At this time, the sky had already begun to thunder, and the black cumulonimbus clouds pressed towards us as if they were running against the sea, like the lightning of a snake was extinguished, and it felt like the end was coming.

"Brother Haidong, I'm afraid!" Li Shanshan shrunk her neck and hugged her shoulders to look at the dark clouds that were getting closer and closer, and shouted at me pitifully.

"Come up, you and Mr. Su are going up to the cave to hide!" I shouted at her against the wind.

"What about you?" Li Shanshan stomped her foot anxiously.

"Leave me alone!

Li Shanshan saw that I was angry, and hurriedly turned around and climbed into the cave with Su Jin.

"Boom-boom-" Outside the lake, the monstrous waves smashed towards the revetment reef one after another, shattering into snow-white powder and throwing it more than ten meters high. Even the calm and mirror-like lake shook at this time. The swells grew stronger and flooded the beach and rushed directly towards the woods on the shore.

"It's a storm! I don't know what typhoon it is!" I thought to myself, looking up at the sky.

Although I am not worried that this rain will miss our island, I have a faint feeling of concern in my heart.

When I was guarding the island, when I encountered a typhoon, we couldn't sail for ten days and a half, and we could only eat seafood and canned food on the island, and at that time, a single coriander was good.

In the unlikely event that this typhoon blows for 10 days and 8 days, will we be able to hold on?

Not only that, but typhoons can also block possible rescue. After all, although there is little hope, we all hope that the outside world will soon find us and take us away from this desert island, away from this place of right and wrong.

Moreover, I had been looking forward to being able to cross the opposite island during the high tide to check it out, and if the typhoon kept blowing, I was afraid that my plan would also fail.

"Haidong, come up!" At this time, Su Jin poked his head out of the cave and shouted at me.

"Right now!" I replied.

At this time, the raindrops of beans fell overwhelmingly. The earthy rain mist poured into my throat, and I felt breathless.

I looked down at the bottles. And put the leaves of the banana tree that had been disturbed by the wind again, let the leaves act as a rainwater collector, and collect the rainwater into a bottle, and then climbed up to the cave in three steps and two steps.
