Led by the three girls, Lu Xuan came to the beach near the east side of his front yard.
He raised the telescope and looked in the direction of Leng Mengyao's finger.
Sure enough... the yacht that was originally out of reach and could only barely be seen through a telescope was now very close to the coastline.
Although it is estimated to be at least two kilometers away from his current location, the good news is that it is quite close to the coastline. It seems that if the southeast wind blows for a few more days, this precious yacht will be blown back.
"Let's pay more attention to it these next two days. We're not going anywhere these two days, so if we can get this yacht ashore again, we'll make a fortune. And what about the hemp rope we found last time? Let's take it out and dry it out. It might be useful later."
Although Lu Xuan had boarded the yacht no less than three times, he was delayed each time due to various reasons, so he had not had the opportunity to search the yacht thoroughly until today.
This time, God seemed to have given him another chance, and Lu Xuan was extremely excited.
"Lu Xuan, what do you still need the hemp rope for? Do you still want to row a boat out to sea?"
Shen Keyin asked in confusion while looking at the yacht in the distance with hope.
"This time we're not going out to sea. If the yacht gets stranded on the beach again, we'll use this hemp rope to tie it up tightly. That way, we won't have to worry about it running away again."
Thinking about how the duck he had caught was taken away by the sea last time, Lu Xuan felt very aggrieved. So if God is merciful and can let the yacht return to the team this time, he would not let it run away no matter what.
If one hemp rope is not enough, then use two. If two are not enough, then use three. Anyway, I have plenty of hemp ropes, so this time I just tie it up tightly.
Thinking about how he had salvaged a lot of good things just from that stranded old ship, if it were his big yacht, he wondered what good things he could get.
The most important thing is that this time, the yacht seems to be closer to his cave, so it will be much more convenient for him to transport supplies.
After figuring all this out, the four of them worked much more enthusiastically.
Before the sun went down, Chen Keyin and Yin Yichen had exceeded their bamboo-moving task and also added two carts of firewood to their cave.
Leng Mengyao had basically completed the secret work in the front yard, moving rows of bushes to the front of his own yard.
As for Lu Xuan, after an afternoon of hard work, he had planted bamboo in the bushes facing the jungle, making it basically impossible for normal people to pass through the jungle.
After completing these, the work on my front yard is basically finished. The safety of the front yard can be said to have been greatly improved.
Starting from the second day, everyone's work focus began to shift to the backyard.
Lu Xuan also found a piece of yew wood that could be used to make bows in the direction of the lake south of the backyard. Although the quantity was not large, it was enough for his own use.
After careful selection, Lu Xuan chose a yew tree with a relatively upright trunk. He cut it down from the bottom and removed the extra branches. Then he split the felled yew trunk in the middle with an axe. Finally, he placed the split trunks next to the campfire to remove moisture from the trunks.
Of course, the best way is to dry it naturally, but that traditional method is too time-consuming and I can't wait. I don't require this homemade bow and arrow to be able to hit the target from a hundred paces away, I just want it to have basic functions.
Starting from the second day, the wind direction on the sea changed frequently. Every time the southeast wind that we longed for blew, it would soon switch to the west wind or the north wind, so that the yacht was almost always stuck in the same place.
On the third day, Lu Xuan and his three companions had already started renovating the backyard. Lu Xuan planned to enclose the entire lawn behind the cave, so that there would be a buffer zone when reaching his cave from the jungle or the south of the lake.
Of course, this task is so huge that it will probably take a week just to build the first layer of bamboo fence.
In the afternoon, the wind direction on the sea changed again, and the clouds in the sky became thicker.
At first, there was only a gentle breeze, bringing a touch of coolness, and the waves swayed gently, like a baby in a cradle, peaceful and tranquil. But gradually, the winds seemed to gather a silent force, and they began to grow wild and unruly, sweeping in from all directions with unprecedented power. The waves also became turbulent, and wave after wave crashed against the shore with a deafening roar, like the roar of the sea, announcing the coming storm.
As evening approached, Lu Xuan stopped the girls from working in time.
The four of them hid in the cave and began to avoid the rain.
At the same time, the sky quietly took on a different look. The once clear blue sky had been swallowed up by thick, dark clouds, which rolled and intertwined like a vast army on a battlefield, ready to attack.
Then, it rained heavily all night long.
This downpour was probably the heaviest Lu Xuan and his companions had experienced since landing on the island. Combined with the raging wind and the roar of the waves, it kept everyone in the cave awake all night. The rain curtain was like a crack in the sky, pouring down. Each drop seemed to contain a tremendous force, slamming into the ground fiercely, splashing countless tiny drops of water before being quickly swept away by the wind and disappearing into the vast rain and fog.
The three girls hugged each other tightly, looking outside the cave nervously. Even the baby bird that used to cry loudly when it saw people had learned to be obedient. It hid in the corner tremblingly, not daring to move.
The huge draft blew out the bonfire at the cave entrance several times. If it weren't for the two bamboo walls built in front of the cave, everything in the cave would have been flying in the sky.
After experiencing a night of violent storms, the girls all looked a little tired when the sky cleared up the next morning. After all, under the triple impact of wind, rain and waves, anyone would have a mental breakdown.
"Has the rain stopped?"
Hearing the silence outside and the return to the usual tranquility, Shen Keyin seemed to find it a little incredible.
"It should have stopped. Everyone should have packed up. Everything is fine now."
Lu Xuan also didn't sleep all night, just busy taking care of the fragile campfire.
"Then I'll go clean up the front yard."
"I'll go check behind..."
Leng Mengyao and Yin Yichen came out of the cave one after another.
Lu Xuan and Shen Keyin were picking up the broken branches and leaves that were blown everywhere by the wind at the entrance of the cave.
"Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan..."
Just when everyone was busy with their work, Leng Mengyao came back jogging, pointing excitedly at the sea on the east side.
"That yacht's come ashore!"
