Chapter 143 The Storm



The first set of pillows and mattresses made were naturally reserved for his precious daughter. After they were laid out on the bed, the little girl nimbly climbed up the ladder made of small wooden sticks.

Li Sheng touched it and asked, "Is it comfortable? Will it rub against your skin and hurt when you sleep?"

As a grown man, he found the mattress and pillows soft to the touch, with a texture similar to a reed mat he had bought. However, since the baby's skin was delicate, the feel was naturally different.

The little guy rolled around on the bed a couple of times: "It feels so good! Daddy is the most amazing person in the world. I love Daddy the most."

It was another heartwarming confession of the day. Li Sheng looked outside again and saw that, just as he had wished, the young lady had gone to sleep in the place they had prepared for her.

Li Sheng looked up at the sky. Although it was night, the sky was usually very clear, but tonight was different. The sky was covered with clouds, and it felt particularly hot and dry, with a significant increase in humidity.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily tonight or tomorrow. How heavy the rain will be, whether it will be accompanied by a typhoon along the coast, and how long it will last are all unknowns, so we must be prepared."

Upon hearing Li Sheng's words, the viewers who were almost asleep while watching the live stream suddenly perked up. However, looking at the calm and peaceful scene in the live stream, they couldn't tell from the screen that a storm was about to break.

Some people instinctively and habitually started to question it.

"There's no weather forecast here, so how did the anchor know it was going to rain heavily?"

Of course, such people are in the minority. Being able to judge the weather by certain changes in the surrounding environment is a skill that almost everyone in the South possesses.

"Is that even a question? The streamer must have noticed something unusual."

"There are many ways to tell if it's going to rain, like ants moving house or dragonflies flying low..."

"I do believe the streamer. Before a heavy rain, the environment will change drastically, and most people can tell that."

...

Looking at the comments, Li Sheng was extremely gratified. Finally, someone believed him. In fact, everyone knows many things, but they just can't remember them when they are doing something.

Often, we only realize afterward that we should have done things differently. To give a simple example, when we're arguing with someone, we're left speechless and our minds go blank. But after we get home and calm down, we come up with countless ways to retaliate.

I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again.

After all, viewers judge through the screen of the live broadcast and cannot feel it directly. He explained, "The reason I can judge that it will rain heavily in the near future is because I feel an unusual heat, and the air has become very humid and oppressive. Of course, this is only the first point."

"The second indicator is the sky. If tomorrow's weather is clear, even though it's night now, you'll only be able to see a few scattered clouds when you look up. But now, when you look up, the sky is full of layers of cumulus clouds. This is the second sign that it's going to rain."

"The third is the warning given by the insects in the forest. If you calm down and listen carefully, you will find that these insects seem to be extra active tonight compared to the environmental sounds the anchor usually makes at night."

After hearing what Li Sheng said, everyone's thoughts became clear. Yes, wasn't this a sign that it was going to rain?

It seems we can't go to bed so early. We need to prepare for the storm. Li Sheng was a little worried. Heavy rain was fine, the eaves were wide enough that we wouldn't get wet under them, but a storm was a different story.

I can only hope that I chose a good spot, and that the cliffs on both sides can block most of the wind.

Li Sheng covered the reservoir with a cover so that raindrops wouldn't get in and muddy the water.

They quickly dug a drainage ditch with a stone hoe to prevent water from accumulating in front of the house.

The signs of an approaching storm were becoming increasingly clear; the towering trees next to the house began to rustle in the wind.

All the pots and pans need to be brought inside the house. The stove is made of mud, and although it has become incredibly sturdy after being fired, it still needs to be covered with leaves or grass just to be safe. A single drop of rain may not be very damaging, but a whole rain shower could be.

They also carried the half-dried mugwort and hay into the house in the dark, and even the palm bark was not spared.

If the rain is going to last a long time, he will have to make a raincoat as soon as possible. He can't go outside in the rain, as he would easily get sick, but he also can't go hungry.

Mr. Li has considered everything very thoroughly.

After everything was done, the prelude to the storm became even more pronounced. The leaves of the nearby trees, which had been rustling, now sounded like a cat with its fur standing on end and being constantly provoked. At that moment, a silver light tore through the sky, followed by a thunderous roar overhead.

There's no need for further explanation this time; anyone can see that a storm is brewing.

This loud thunderclap startled the young woman so much that she jumped up on the spot and started trembling. "Even gorillas are afraid of thunder."

"Hey girl, how did you grow up to be so big?"

Li Sheng seemed to see fear in a gorilla. The young woman was so frightened by the thunder that she spun around on the spot. She also wanted to enter the shelter, but she had to look at Li Sheng's expression.

Does it see itself as the leader?

If this were a male gorilla, Li Sheng would definitely have gone to his mother's house, but this young lady is a girl after all, and she doesn't look very old, so he softened a bit.

"Alright, alright, you go inside and sleep first. I'll build you a little house for yourself when the rain stops."

Reluctantly, he led it in, pointing to a corner covered with grass and saying, "You'll sleep there and don't move around, or I'll kick you out."

He had no other requests, he just hoped that people wouldn't urinate or defecate anywhere in his shelter.

The young woman was quite obedient; she settled down and slept quietly in the spot Li Sheng pointed out, without moving around. Li Sheng then closed the skylight, which immediately eliminated about 80% of the noise from outside.

But soon after, the sound of heavy rain crashing down on everything in the forest could still be heard.

With the skylight closed, the room was stuffy and hot, making it hard to fall asleep. I quietly kept an eye on my younger sister to see if she was acting strangely.

This young woman's well-behaved behavior has won her a large following, after all, who wouldn't like such an intelligent and gentle gorilla?
