Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

The biggest enemies of a raft at night are snakes and rats, and even more terrifying are poisonous snakes.

The half-dead person becomes the weak one.

In order to prevent snakes and rats from getting on the raft, Lin Shu and Old Man Wu stood guard at the front and back respectively.

She took out two rechargeable night lights from the space and placed them on the raft.

If they see something climbing up, they will poke it down without mercy or kill it.

Baozi played a decisive role with his special eyesight and sharp movements.

It runs back and forth to provide support, and the most mice die under its claws.

The drowned rat, whose fur had been stripped naked by Baozi, squatted on the raft trembling, witnessing the cruelty of the two-legged and four-legged beasts with his own eyes.

The rolling green eyes gradually became fearful and clear.

"Squeak~"

The soaked rat saw a scorpion climbing onto the raft and jumped three feet high, squeaking loudly.

Lin Shu turned her head and saw a scorpion about the size of a drowned rat, waving its two large pincers and confronting it.

'His~'

Lin Shu felt a toothache. Why were there all kinds of things in the flood?

Aren't scorpions supposed to only be found in jungles, dark and humid places?

Someone tell her that even a flood can't drown this guy.

She tiptoed forward and poked the big scorpion's belly with a bamboo pole.

"Puff~Sizzle~"

Black juice burst out of its huge belly, splashing onto the wooden board and instantly turning into smoking black spots.

An unpleasant, pungent smell filled my nose.

"Black Widow?"

Lin Shu couldn't believe the consequences of being bitten by a poisonous scorpion, and gave the drowned rat a piece of raw meat the size of a finger with appreciation.

"Squeak ~ squeak ~"

The rat's eyes lit up suddenly, and he didn't dare to eat the raw meat.

He looked at Lin Shu in a humane way, then looked at the raw meat in his claws.

"Squeak~squeak~" (It's really for the rat to eat.)

"Yes, a reward for you.

Perform well, and I will always have your meat in the future." Lin Shu nodded with a smile.

‘Squeak~’

Lin Shu miraculously saw the smile of the drowned rat, and she felt that she must be overworked.

I'm dizzy.

...

The next day.

Three people and a dog stood on the four sides of the raft, busy driving away the approaching snakes and rats.

The first ray of sunlight rose from the horizon, and the white sunlight shining on my body felt no warmth at all.

"My dear grandson, the weather is not right. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily again." Wu Yidao said, looking up at the sky.

"It's still raining. I'm afraid our tent can't stand the wind and rain."

When Lin Shu heard that it was going to rain, her toothache started again.

No wonder the snakes and rats kept climbing onto the raft; they knew that danger was coming.

The simple raft could not withstand strong winds and waves.

The only way now is to widen and strengthen it.

It would be nice to have car tires, but unfortunately it's just a thought.

"Grandpa, bring up some wooden boxes. We need to reinforce the raft."

As Lin Shu spoke, she released ten dead trees that were as thick as a man's embrace, a bundle of nylon ropes, a bag of cloth strips, a bamboo hat, and a raincoat.

"it is good!"

When Wu Yidao saw the dead tree suddenly appear, he didn't have time to ask any more questions and focused on salvaging the wooden box.

"Brother, come and reinforce the tent."

Lin Shu placed a circle of dead trees outside the tent and said.

“Brother, first secure the dead tree to the raft.

Then fix the tent to the dead tree, making sure it is tied tightly."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, big brother."

Lin Hongyi worked swiftly. He had no idea what to do, so of course he just did whatever his little sister said.

Half an hour later, with the concerted efforts of the brother and sister, they finally fixed the tent again.

Lin Shu emptied the wooden box that was salvaged and placed it in the cloth shed, pressing down the edges.

All the quilts and clothes that get wet easily are placed on the wooden box.

They used nylon ropes to secure the raft again, and the three of them felt relieved.

After hurriedly eating the food taken out from the space, the sky had become gloomy and the howling wind made the cloth tent rustle.

The raft swayed with the waves, and the unsecured boxes ran like long legs.

"Brother, hurry up."

Lin Shu used her hands and feet to lie on a wooden box, and her short hands tried to reach another moving wooden box.

But my hands are too short and I can't reach it.

A wave hit, and the wooden boxes in the tent flew away.

Baozi was so anxious that he jumped up and down on the box, but in the end he could only press one.

Lin Hongyi hurriedly secured the six wooden boxes. The bumpy ride made him pale and he lay on the side of the raft, retching repeatedly.

Wu Yidao, who was driving away snakes and rats outside, was also shaken to a pale face.

What little food I had in the morning was vomited out long ago.

...

'Pip-pa-la~'

The raindrops as big as beans hit the water surface, creating countless ripples.

After a while, mist began to rise on the water surface.

As the rain was getting heavier, the bamboo hat and raincoat were no longer useful.

The rolling waves hit the raft, making it seem like it was going to sink.

Lin Shu's heart also rose and fell with the raft.

"Grandpa, don't worry about the outside, go in and hide from the rain for a while."

Lin Shu pulled the stubborn old man into the tent. It was really a headache for him to see that he was so disobedient at such an old age.

He settled the old and the young on a wooden box, sat on the box himself, closed his eyes and searched the space.

After searching for a long time, I found that only white foam could be used.

I had just returned home and bought some packaging foam for home appliances. I didn't expect it would come in handy at this time.

Lin Shu jumped off the wooden box and lifted the tarpaulin to take a look.

The rain was heavier than before, and the raft was completely submerged in water due to strong winds and high waves.

She shook out a small pile of white foam and pulled out three card-type raincoats.

"My dear grandson, what should we do?" Seeing this, Wu Yidao took two steps forward and said.

"Grandpa, tie this white thing to both sides of the raft.

With such strong winds and waves, I’m really worried that the raft won’t be able to withstand it.” Lin Shu said anxiously.

She opened the card-type raincoat again and demonstrated it to the two of them.

"This thing is good, it's light and can keep out the rain."

Lin Hongyi touched things here and there curiously, looking like he was looking at a peep show.

Lin Shu didn't explain much. Anyway, she had taken out a lot of things, so it didn't matter whether she said it or not.

The three men put on hats and tied the foam to both sides of the raft.

The shaky raft became more stable with the addition of foam.

Lin Shu's uneasy heart also calmed down.

"Little sister, go in and rest for a while. Grandpa and I will be guarding outside."

Lin Hongyi pushed her into the tent. The little sister hadn't slept a wink since midnight last night.

Lin Hongyi felt both distressed and guilty, as there was really little he could do for his younger sister.

If it weren't for his little sister, he and his grandfather would not have been able to survive the flood.

They couldn't even build the most basic raft, let alone salvage items.

"it is good!"

This little body is really sleepy. If you don’t want to get sick, you need to rest and eat well.

As soon as she entered the tent, took off her hat and raincoat, and sat on the wooden box and disappeared.

...

Lin Shu rushed into the bathroom and took a hot bath to wash away her tiredness and coldness.

Wearing a T-shirt that reaches down to her calves, she wipes her hair with one hand and stuffs rice balls into her mouth with the other.

I went into the kitchen to cook rice and stew meat, and only then did I find time to curl up on the sofa in the living room for a nap.

When the alarm clock rang, I got up in a daze and washed my face with cold water to feel more alert.

Thinking of the fish in the paddy fields, Lin Shu started digging a fish pond in a hurry.
