Surviving Endless Disasters

The roasted snake meat this time was different. Wen Zheng had marinated it in advance with sea salt and a sour fruit.

The sour fruit was a kind of berry found in the mountains and forests. It had many signs of being eaten by birds and had a very sour taste. Wen Zheng felt that his teeth were sore when he ate it, but it was very suitable for use as a seasoning.

The salty and sour taste completely suppressed the fishy smell of the snake meat. Wen Zheng nodded with satisfaction and would pickle the snakes he caught in the future just like he did today.

The fish next to it finally cooled down, and Tuantuan began to taste his lunch.

There was a boiling sound coming from the shells where the soup was being cooked next to it. Just as Wen Zheng put down his chopsticks and was about to walk over, a strong sea breeze blew over.

Wen Zheng looked at the sky outside. It was darker than when he got up in the morning.

The author has something to say: Tuantuan is a species made up by the author, but its appearance is based on a prototype. It is a kind of pigeon called Nicobar dove. It is a beautiful big pigeon. Little angels can search for it by themselves.

Chapter 36 The wind was howling outside the cave, the weeds on the grass were crawling on their bodies, the bacon hung outside to dry was shaking constantly, Wen Zheng's face was solemn as never before.

When he woke up this morning, he heard the sound of the sea breeze blowing outside, which was much stronger than usual. Moreover, during the entire breakfast process, he did not see seabirds foraging on the beach. Everything seemed so strange. Ordinary.

Wen Zheng originally planned to go to the mountains and forests again today, but the heavy weather made him understand that there would be heavy rain today, so he canceled today's arrangements and chose to stay in the cave to rest.

During the three weeks of raising Tuantuan, there were two heavy rains. Each time it came and went quickly. After the rain stopped, the sun shone and the rain evaporated quickly, leaving no trace.

Wen Zheng was used to this speed. The cave was well equipped with wind and rain protection measures. He could rest on the day of the heavy rain and go out again the next day. There was nothing to worry about. He could also take the opportunity to collect some fresh water. Three holes had been dug outside the cave. A fresh water pit.

He originally thought that this time would be the same as before, and would end in a few hours. However, a whole morning passed, and the weather remained sluggish. The heavy rain never came. Strong winds were raging outside, and the waves on the beach were getting bigger and bigger. The higher.

This made Wen Zheng feel more and more uneasy, and he couldn't help but have speculations in his mind.

Isn't it a typhoon coming? Thinking of this possibility, Wen Zheng became nervous. This situation was very likely to be a typhoon.

Living in the inland, Wen Zheng has never been so close to a typhoon. He has only seen videos recorded by others, but he can feel the power just from the videos.

Typhoon is a very powerful natural disaster. It is a tropical cyclone with high temperature and high wind speed. It is like a huge wind ball. When it comes into contact with the land, it becomes a "naughty child who likes to punch and kick" and has extremely powerful characteristics. With great destructive power, waiting for the typhoon to finally leave, leaving behind devastation.

If it is really a typhoon, can the current layout of the cave withstand it? Wen Zheng couldn't help but worry.

But worrying is useless, it is better to leave the cave and prepare before the typhoon arrives.

There are too few trees around the cave, and it is very difficult to transport trees back from a distance, so the wind and rain-proof buildings are almost all made of bamboo.

The bamboo was buried very deep. Wen Zheng laid stones on the ground and buried the tall but strong tree king into the ground to support the rain shelter and make the bamboo rain shelter harder to shake.

The rain shelters are all made of vines and ropes twisted by oneself to tie the bamboos together, and simply braided palm leaves are tightly attached to the ropes to keep out the rain.

Wen Zheng carefully inspected the rain cover and found that many vines had been exposed to wind, sun and rain, and showed signs of breakage. However, the ropes woven with coconut shell fibers were still strong.

Fortunately, the inspection found it. Wen Zheng quickly took out the coconut rope to fix the places where the vines were tied. Finally, feeling uneasy, he found the life rope brought from the plane and reinforced it again.

Along the mountain wall there is a semicircular fence made of bamboo, wrapped with spiky palm vines, enclosing a small yard.

In addition to the rain shelter that protects the cave, there are bacon racks and drying racks made of wooden sticks in the yard. There are three puddles to store rainwater, and there is also a bonfire made of stones under the bacon rack.

Although he felt that the wooden frame might not be able to survive the typhoon, Wen Zheng reinforced it with ropes.

If it is really blown to pieces, wait until the typhoon passes before making a new one.

There is a bamboo pole standing outside the cave. There is a split branch of the right thickness stuffed inside the bamboo pole, and there is a rope to fix it. This is used to get Wang Chai.

The cave couldn't hold so much Wang Chai, and it was difficult to block the rain outside the cave, so the higher cave on this rock came in handy.

There are two caves in this mountain rock. The taller one was kicked out of the living area by Wen Zheng because it was too high. After testing the cave with bamboo and finding nothing, he used it as a storage cave.

Two or three pieces of Wang Chai are tied together, the split branches are passed through the rope, and the Wang Chai can be removed by moving the long bamboo pole.

I don’t dare to tie too many bundles per bundle, for fear that the bamboo poles won’t be able to withstand it, so I would rather go through more trouble each time.

Wen Zheng took down a few bundles of Wang Chai from the storage hole, and then used a bamboo pole to fork a bamboo raft with a small hole. He lifted the small bamboo raft, changed the angle, and just stuck it at the entrance of the storage hole. Although there were still a lot of There are gaps, but it can block a lot of wind and rain.

Wen Zheng also worked hard to protect these Wang Chai. Normally, this kind of treatment can block ordinary wind and rain. I wonder if it can withstand the typhoon this time.

The arrival of the typhoon will cause the temperature to rise. He is wearing a self-knitted grass skirt.

The sky was completely blocked by dark clouds, and the surroundings were like night.

The wind became more fierce. Wen Zheng even saw leaves being blown here from a distance. The terrain here was relatively open and there was nothing to stop it. Wen Zheng felt that his hair was sore from being blown.

The strong wind swept the dark clouds and approached the island. Wen Zheng always understood the scene described in the poem "The dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city."

The shelter originally made of three wooden sticks on the beach could never withstand such strong winds, and it must have collapsed.

Wen Zheng picked up the firewood and returned to the cave. The bamboo curtain fell down to block the entrance of the cave.

Making a bamboo curtain is not difficult, the difficult part is how to hang it at the entrance of the hole.

In the end, Wen Zheng solved the problem with two pieces of wood. The lower ends of the two pieces of wood were one on the left and the other on the right. The tops of the two pieces of wood touched each other, forming a triangle with the ground. The bamboo curtain was hung on the top of the triangle.

As soon as I put down the firewood, there was a crackling sound outside, which was the falling raindrops hitting the rain cover.

“The next step is to wait patiently for the typhoon to leave.

Wen Zheng hugged Tuantuan and said, "We have to live in the cave again."

" Tuantuan was a little uneasy because of the arrival of the typhoon at first, but the warm nest and Wen Zheng's comfort made him not panic. He stayed in Wen Zheng's arms obediently, but looked out with a little curiosity.

There is enough food stored in the cave, and there is also plenty of fresh water. If there is no rainwater, they can catch the rain outside. When it is cold, there is enough Wangchai. As long as the wind and rain do not enter the cave, it is enough for them to stay in the cave until the typhoon leaves.

"I haven't finished my lunch yet, and I don't know how my soup has turned out.

"Wen Zheng rubbed Tuantuan's head, put him down, and walked to the earthen stove.

There was an alluring aroma coming from the shells on the earthen stove. Wen Zheng walked over to light the fire and stirred the coconut taro stew cooked in the shells with bamboo chopsticks.

Just as Wen Zheng was stirring, Tuantuan sneaked to the entrance of the cave with his legs, opened the bamboo curtain with his head, and looked at the scene outside with some curiosity.

It happened that the direction of the wind was parallel to the entrance of the cave. The wind was blowing in front of the cave. The coldness made Tuantuan immediately shrink his head. However, he had no idea that the soft feathers on his head and upper neck were all blown up. stand up.
