Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 122 See the storm again

In the end, the "employment" plan of Chili and others was terminated before it even started.


The sky is dark, the wind is howling, the rain is pouring, and the howl of the hurricane is like the wail of a ghost, carrying a terrifying power. No matter how thick the trees are, they are forced to surrender by this terrifying power of God.


However, even so, there are still many big trees that cannot hold up and are crushed by the strong wind and rain, let alone those smaller trees that are more fragile.


Crackling, the heavy rain is like small pebbles falling from the sky, hitting the ground fiercely, splashing small water splashes, and even making small holes in the sand, which shows that the rain How big is it? If a person stands in such an unobstructed environment, he will be bruised all over. It comes with a free bathing package.


But I think no one wants this kind of free service.


Neither Jian Yuan nor Sun Wen stayed in their rooms to escape the sudden storm, but stayed in Chili's room.


In addition to the fact that their room was on the outermost side and was the most severely affected by the disaster, there was also the fact that Chili's side was magically surrounded by a few big trees at the back. No matter how violent the storm was outside, the trees would After being filtered, only half of the power left on Chili's side was not enough to cause damage to the place where she was hiding. At most, it would blow away some dead grass and leaves on the roof.


Therefore, when seeing the storm becoming more and more fierce, Jian Yuan made a prompt decision, packed up all his useful belongings and stuffed them into his suitcase, and dragged them all to Chili's side for shelter.


When Sun Wen saw this, she packed up her things and moved them over.


Chili's small room is only so big. After stuffing all the belongings of three people and three adults, it's really crowded, but no one complained about it, not even Chili, who is the owner of the room. .


They hugged each other to keep warm, praying in their hearts that the storm would pass quickly.


"Ah, our fish!"


Suddenly, Sun Wen, who remembered that they still had fish in the puddle outside, couldn't help shouting in distress, and almost rushed out to rescue their precious food, but Chi Li quickly held it down for her.


"Don't go. It's too dangerous out there. You can still catch the fish if it's gone. Our safety is the most important thing."


After listening to Chi Li's persuasion, Sun Wen sat back honestly, but she was still very anxious. Apparently, the loss of food triggered her stress response, making her extremely uneasy.


Seeing this, Chi Li couldn't help but want to sigh. In order to appease her, she simply contributed her only piece of compressed biscuit and stuffed it into Sun Wen's arms: "This is for you, don't be afraid, we won't be hungry."


Knowing that she valued food so much because she was scared of hunger, Chili could understand and was willing to be considerate.


"Thank you... thank you."


Sun Wen knew that this was not good, but she couldn't control herself. She squeezed the biscuits given by Chi Li tightly with both hands. A bag of compressed biscuits could last her for a day. If she ate sparingly, she might be able to last for two or three days. It undoubtedly gave her a great sense of security and made her less restless.


Under the storm, no one was in the mood to sleep, or in such a crowded space, it was a bit difficult for them to sleep.


Moreover, as the rain outside intensified, the drainage ditch they dug around the shelter was overloaded and eventually burst, so that the water could not flow out and instead seeped into the shelter.


Even with the large leaves blocking the water, Chili and others sitting on the ground were still noticeably more wet underneath their bodies. There was a strong sense of dampness that made people feel uncomfortable all over.


They had no choice but to stuff all their belongings into the big suitcase as much as possible, and hang the rest as high as possible, carry it with them, or wrap it with a waterproof thermal blanket, and then the three of them would sit together. On the suitcase, they were wrapped in their own quilts, leaning against each other to keep each other warm.


Heavy rains and hurricanes bring not only physical attacks, but also sudden drops in temperature. It is obviously the hottest summer, but Chili and the others now feel that the temperature does not exceed 20°C at most, which is enough to make anyone feel to cold temperatures.


So they had to find ways to stay warm so they wouldn't get sick.


Although they have medicines with a wide range of varieties, getting sick is not a good thing no matter what, and no one wants to suffer this pain in vain.


"Crack! Bang!"


A light as bright as day appeared first, followed closely by the deafening thunder.


The sudden loud noise made Chi Li and Sun Wen tremble, and they almost couldn't help but scream.


As a koi fish that turns into an immortal, Chili's journey of practice is naturally indispensable for the existence of thunder tribulation. Even if she majors in the path of merit and virtue, her thunder tribulation is lighter than others, but it is just that little bit of tempering that she should experience. Not a penny less.


Chi Li still remembers the lightning disaster she suffered when she first transformed into a human form. The hit on her body was so painful that she lost half her life. It was like losing half her life. She almost failed to survive it in the end. It was the breeder who gave her a drop of his heart's blood at the last moment, which helped her successfully overcome the calamity.


Since then, although Chi Li has not been left with any serious psychological shadow, she is still a little afraid of thunder tribulation.


So much so that what has evolved now is that she is a little afraid of thunder. Even if she knows that those thunders are unlikely to hit her for no reason, she will still tremble at the sound of thunder.


Sun Wen herself was so scared that she even buried her head in Chi Li's arms. She was not reliable at all and could not give Chi Li a sense of security. Looking around, after another lightning strike, Chi Li still couldn't help but look at the audience. The only person who was not afraid of thunder leaned close to him.


Sensing Chi Li's approach, Jian Yuan thoughtfully remained still, avoiding everyone's embarrassment and at the same time providing people with a slight sense of security.


"What are you doing?"


Fortunately, the thunder was only temporary. Maybe after a few ten minutes, or a few hours, anyway, after a relatively long period of time, the thunder outside gradually disappeared.


Although the storm was still there, it was at least less scary.


Chi Li, who had regained consciousness, began to feel bored. When she turned her head, she found that Jian Yuan was holding a few pieces of straw rope and flying with his hands, and he didn't know what novelty he was making.


"I'm knitting cushions," Jian Yuan said.


The wet touch under his feet informed him of his previous omissions, so someone who was very good at making up for his mistakes immediately thought of something that existed in his memory, a straw mat.


There seemed to be many such cushions in the home when he was young. They were all knitted by the older generation. Jian Yuan, who was still young at the time, accidentally encountered the weaving process of his elders. Out of curiosity, he asked a few more questions and was introduced in detail. and pointed out the key points.


This memory should have been buried in time, but it suddenly popped up now, giving the owner a little surprise.


Anyway, idle time is idle. In line with the principle of trying without losing money, Jian Yuan began to try knitting and making new items.


Chili, who didn't know how to be serious, could only watch, exclaiming and praising him from time to time to help busy people maintain their enthusiasm for work.
Her voice was deliberately lowered because the girl in her arms who was trying to avoid the thunder fell asleep at some point, which would wake up others. The two people who were still awake deliberately kept the noise they made to a minimum.


Pulling on Sun Wen's slippery quilt, Chi Li turned her head and looked outside through the gap in the door.


Even through the hazy rain curtain, she could see the turbulent waves on the sea, lapping fiercely on the beach, stirring up snow-white water splashes three to four meters high, as if they wanted to swallow people up.


After a visual inspection of the distance between them and the coast, they could feel a little relieved. Knowing that as long as there was no more tsunami, there was a high probability that they would not be submerged by the sea water, Chili stopped paying attention to the outside world.


"Teach me how to knit straw sandals."


The shoes Chili wears now are all made by Jian Yuan. At first, she got a few pairs and didn't feel much at all. Later, she found that straw sandals were easy to wear and they often had to be replaced with new ones or repaired. She was a little embarrassed to bother Jian Yuan anymore. But before, she was always busy with things and didn't have much time. Now that she has rare free time, Chi Li plans to learn how to knit straw sandals. Once she learns, she won't have to bother others all the time.


"Okay, wait for me a moment."


Naturally, Jian Yuan would not refuse Chi Li's small request. It happened that the straw mat he had on hand was almost finished, so he speeded up and finished it. Then he picked up a piece of straw rope again and taught Chi Li step by step.


Since straw ropes are the easiest and most practical thing for them to obtain, Chili and others usually collect some weeds and twist them into straw ropes, store them together, and get them when needed. It is quite convenient.


It was the same now. With sufficient straw rope reserves, they could just stay in the shelter and do some straw crafts when they encountered stormy weather where they couldn't go out to work.


It was the first time to do this kind of handiwork. Chi Li took it as a matter of course and made something that looked like a shoe but not like a shoe, like a sesame ball but not like a sesame ball. She didn’t know what it was.


She stared at the thing in silence for a long time, then put it aside as if nothing had happened, pulled the straw rope again and continued to toss, and then got a second ball of unknown stuff.


Chi Li: "...It seems I don't have this talent."


She admitted it quite frankly.


"It's okay, just let me do it." It was rare for Jian Yuan to see Chi Li's deflated look. He raised his eyebrows in a funny way and reached out to take the two groups of things that Chi Li had damaged. He didn't know how he did it. After three attempts, five and two were taken, he was rescued.


Although after the first round of abuse by Chi Li, these shoes are not very beautiful, but there is no problem in wearing them. There is nothing to see on this island anyway, so it doesn't matter.


"Thank you." She took the new shoes as her own naturally, and Chili also knew how to thank others.


+1 for politeness.


"The rain has lightened up." Jian Yuan immediately reminded Chi Li after noticing that the wind and rain outside were getting weaker.


Chi Li understood immediately and stretched out his hand to shake Sun Wen awake: "Don't sleep, let's go out and recover the damage."


Sun Wen was obviously asleep and still thinking about the unknown fish outside. As soon as she was woken up by Chi Li, she immediately reacted and rushed out first. Then she was caught and brought back by Chi Li.


"You can go out like this, and you won't be afraid of getting wet in the rain."


The rain has only lightened up but not stopped. The protection that should be taken is still sufficient. Chi Li put the thermal blanket on the top of Sun Wen's head and then signaled that she could go out.


Naturally, Jian Yuan and Chi Li were also covered with thermal blankets. The three of them planned to go out together, and the things originally wrapped by the thermal blanket were temporarily piled on the suitcase.


Although the rain has soaked the ground, the water level is not very high, at least it cannot reach the top of the suitcase, and there is no fear of the things on it getting wet.


Their only goal is to rescue the fish in the puddle. They don't know how long this storm will last, but it obviously won't end in a short time, so Jian Yuan needs to repair the rooms where he and Sun Wen are and find more The materials are coming back for reinforcement, and the most important thing is to redecorate the place where they sleep, at least to ensure that it will not be flooded while sleeping.


So as soon as they came out, they immediately split up.


Chi Li and Sun Wen took the net bags and stepped on the water to the puddle. They went down with a bag and directly fished out the remaining fish. As for the other clams, there was no way to fish them out. .


In order to easily attract running water, they set up a puddle between their residence and the coast. Normally, it's fine. No matter how high the tide is, the sea water can't flood it. But in this special situation, it's terrible. The surge of waves directly covers the puddle. Although the depth of the engulfment is not deep, it only reaches the feet of Chili, but as long as the fish inside are not stupid, they can still escape if they want to.


At first, Sun Wen thought that there was not a single fish left in the puddle. The reason why she took the risk to fish it out was just in case. Maybe they were lucky and there was still a stupid fish left in it?

One by one they can be saved, these are their food reserves!


Unexpectedly, there were so many stupid fish in this pit. After counting, they only lost two small fish in the end, and the remaining larger fish were still there.


"Maybe the water is so shallow that they can't swim out."


In the end, Sun Wen could only guess this way, and Chi Li nodded with an expression that said yes, you are right.


Whether dead or alive, Sun Wen took the fish covered in the net back. She planned to process them and then flood them with a lot of salt. This was also a good way to store them.


The tools used to prepare the fish are scallop shells with sharpened edges.


Their knives are limited and cannot meet the standard of one per person, but knives are needed everywhere in life, so they can only find other ways to make new knives.


The stone knife you picked up is one kind, and the scallop and other shell knife is another kind.


They are all easy-to-obtain and practical things, and it’s easy to replace them if they break.


After catching the fish, Chi Li ran over to help Jian Yuan carry things.


Jian Yuan went to the woods to move some broken thick branches, intending to use these to strengthen the outer layer of the shelter.


"Just let me come here. You go tie the bamboos into bamboo rafts with hemp rope. I'll be useful." Seeing Chili running over to help, Jian Yuan quickly refused and assigned her another task.


He doesn't need two people to do the work here. The weather is bad and there's no telling when it will rain heavily again. It's better to seize the time and do more things while the rain is light.


Division of labor and cooperation are undoubtedly a more efficient method.
