Chapter 25

Before going to bed, Qiao Sheng opened the trading system again. She still didn't see player 18 accepting orders. She didn't understand. Usually, this person always issued orders in exchange for food and drink. Why didn't the other party accept it after she issued it? She

woke up again because the rain swept her face. The head of her bed was right next to the bow. Although there was a deck above her head, she moved her bed a little further out so that she could be woken by the sun in the morning. Her head was exposed to the sun. When it rained, she directly used her face to receive it. She

rushed out and climbed onto the deck as soon as possible. She collected all the rice that was drying on it and dragged the drying rack to a sheltered place. The water filter and planting pots were not moved. These two were not afraid of rain.

It was still pitch black outside. She had no idea how long she had slept, nor what time it was. She lit the oil lamp. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was even pouring into her cabin. She quickly got some planks and nailed eight raft width thresholds between the left and right wooden walls to prevent the rain from pouring in and flooding her cabin.

The rain was heavy and the wind was strong. The whole boat was shaking. Qiao Sheng sat on a bamboo chair and looked out. She was very glad that she had upgraded her boat. At least she had a cover. If it had rained so heavily a few days ago, her 5*5 small raft might not have been able to withstand it.

She checked the wild boar on the drying rack. Fortunately, she had moved it back not long after the rain. She wiped off the water droplets on it with a cloth and made sure it was okay. She worked so hard to dry it, but it was really damaged by her. She was so sad.

The rice could only be dried again after the weather cleared up. If it molded, it would be useless. Fortunately, she didn't plant too much this time. She also went to dry it with the mentality of giving it a try. If it really got damaged, forget it, and go back to plant again.

Although the threshold was padded, she was still afraid of rainwater backflow, so she didn't dare to sleep at all. She just sat on the bamboo chair in a daze, thinking that Xia Beibei's boat was better. The first floor was sealed, so she was not afraid of rain and could sleep peacefully. But she felt that a completely sealed boat was too depressing and didn't seem to be suitable for her.

Thinking divergently, looking at the rain, it suddenly occurred to me that rainwater can also be stored. Even if it cannot be drunk, it can be used for washing. There is no empty wooden barrel at home, so I quickly took the planks and made five large wooden barrels, all of which were placed on the open space at the bow to collect rainwater.

When I went out to put the wooden barrels, my body was still wet. I went back to the cabin to get cotton cloth to wipe it clean, and changed into clean clothes, and then I felt relieved.

"With such heavy rain, there must be conspicuous package players who took the opportunity to take a shower. Fortunately, there is not much shortage of water now, otherwise I must be one of the conspicuous package army." Qiao Sheng leaned against the wooden wall and reached out to catch the raindrops outside. It was cool and quite comfortable.

After observing for a while and making sure that the rainwater would not flow back in within a short period of time, Qiao Sheng decided to turn off the oil lamp and go to sleep. It was still dark and she was very sleepy. She would deal with any problems after waking up.

When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside the cabin was only a little brighter than before she went to bed, so it should be daytime. She didn't know how long she had slept, but the rain outside had not decreased at all, and it was even getting heavier.

Standing at the threshold and sticking her head out to look at the buckets outside to collect rainwater, they were all full. With this weight and this distance, she was sure that she couldn't move the wooden barrels filled with rainwater to the storage room, so she simply went directly to the storage room, moved out the storage box containing water, and put all five wooden barrels into the box.

Five buckets were collected from the island before. One bucket was used for washing clothes, cooking and bathing these days. The bucket is now placed in the bathroom as a bathtub, leaving four buckets. There are two water tanks made by Li Mu at home, which are now basically full. Add these five buckets of rainwater, and there are 11 buckets in total. It

is enough to say that it is enough, but when it comes to using it, half a bucket is needed for a bath. Between continuing to make buckets to collect rainwater and saving water, Qiao Sheng chose to use wooden boards to make buckets. At worst, she can use a colander to collect supplies in the rain in a while. She really doesn't want to not take a bath like she did a few days ago. She feels that she smells. Fortunately, the number 18 exchanged soap with her.

Thinking of the number 18, she remembered the order she posted yesterday evening. She opened the trading system and saw that the order was still there.

"Is it that what you want is too much? Not really. Usually two dishes and one soup is also a piece of soap. Or does the other party not like to eat buns? So you don't accept the order? Or is it that there is no soap and you can't accept the order?" Thinking about how she took advantage of others in the past few days, between food and cleaning supplies, Qiao Sheng still thinks that the latter is more valuable. In this game, as long as you pay a little attention, you won't be hungry. It's just the difference between good and bad food.

She changed the order requirement to a piece of wood, thinking that it would not be out of stock. Although she would occasionally be kind in the trading system, if it was really face to face, she would definitely ignore it, for fear that the other party would kill and rob.

Taking out the bamboo from the storage box, Qiao Sheng wanted to try to make a hat. If it rains once, it can rain again. What if there is a rainy season and it rains endlessly? Being trapped in the cabin, there is really nothing to do. You have to change clothes every time you go out and come back, otherwise the value bar of the small clothes will go down crazily, which is too annoying.

It took two bamboos to make it successfully. Qiao Sheng put it on his head and compared it. It was quite big. It could cover his shoulders completely, almost like holding an umbrella. Put

on the hat and move the planting pots and water filter outside the cabin into the cabin. It was dark outside, and there was no sunlight at all. The water filter could not work there.

The newly made wooden barrel was placed outside to continue collecting rainwater. The stove was facing the bow, so it was not easy to light a fire. After several attempts, the fire was extinguished by the rainwater.

I had no choice but to move the bamboo tables and chairs, rabbit nests, and chicken nests inside, and then moved the stove into the cabin.

I steamed a few buns and had a meal from an unknown source. It was too dark outside, so I had to keep the oil lamp burning in the house, and the consumption of wicks and coconut oil increased immediately.

The rice in the planting pots had matured, so I put it away and put it in the storage box. It couldn't be dried in this weather.

After finding cotton seeds and planting them, the rice pot in the house yesterday also matured, and the amount of harvest was no less than that of the pot outside in the sun, proving that crops grown in planting pots do not need sunlight and can mature anywhere, which makes her feel more at ease. There

are still many coconuts at home. In this weather, she can only do these jobs that do not require leaving the house. She rubbed more than 30 coconuts, boiled three pots, and filled four glass bottles with coconut oil. In this weather, this coconut oil is enough to light lamps for several days. It was about

dinner time, and she actually received another order from Xia Beibei. She thought it was the little girl making dumplings, but after a closer look, it turned out to be jinli sending warmth.

The order was for a raincoat, which was probably opened by Xia Beibei in a drifting bottle. Her luck was simply amazing. When I looked at the item she wanted, it was a steamed bun, which was obviously given to her for free.

Qiao Sheng was actually a bit hypocritical and wary of others, so he didn't like to accept other people's kindness easily. In the nearly half a month since I entered the game, I have only communicated with two people, one was Li Mu and the other was Xia Beibei. No, there should be three, and there is an unknown player No. 18.

Not to mention that she is not familiar with No. 18, as for the other two, you will know after having interacted with them that they are both defenseless against others. Although she has reminded each of them when they are separated that people's hearts are hidden and one should be on guard against others, but no one knows how much they have listened. Li Mu has not seen her since they broke up, and Xia Beibei and JJZL have to give her some good things when they get them. It was like this with the red sugar before, and now a raincoat that she just needed has come, making her not know what to say.

She couldn't be upset when someone was so thoughtful. Qiao Sheng didn't think it was inconvenient to cook a meal for Xia Beibei. She had to eat, so it was no problem to cook a little more for Xia Beibei. Besides, the child thought about her every day.

She only wanted one bun, so she couldn't really give her only one bun. She wanted to eat brown rice tonight, so she had soaked it in water a long time ago. Now was the right time to start stewing the rice. She made a short-mouthed earthenware pot with mud and sand dug from the sea, which would be used for stewing rice in the future. She

fried some rapeseed with oyster sauce first, and then added a dish of pork slices with peppers. There were ten buns left, so she steamed five of them and sent them over one by one. She made carrot and pork rib soup. It was a little chilly that day, so it was just right to drink something hot.

These two dishes, one soup, a bowl of brown rice and five buns, and a glass bottle filled with coconut water for her, looked much richer. Qiao Sheng also made a bamboo hat and submitted the order.

By the way, she took a look at the order of player 18, which was still unaccepted. It was just a piece of wood. It would be too much to say that there was no floating board. After all, the trading system has been opened, which means that this person's boat must have at least 100 floating boards.

After a while, Qiao Sheng was entangled in canceling the order and waiting for another day. She chose the latter. This number 18 also gave her a lot of convenience. Ten buns are not worth much, so she can wait a little longer.

After dinner, the heavy rain outside was still pouring. Before going to bed, she used wooden boards to raise the threshold of the cabin a little higher. She didn't want to fall asleep and be washed away by the rain.

The boat was still rocking when he fell asleep, and Qiao Sheng comforted himself by thinking he was sleeping in a rocking basket. When he woke up, the sun was out and the rain had stopped.

After leaving the cabin, the five buckets outside were already full of rainwater. He put the buckets away and looked up at the sky. After observing for a while, he was sure that it would continue to rain. There were

still thick clouds in the sky. While there was sunshine, he moved the drying rack out. He didn't dare to put it too far away, so he put it a little outside the cabin so that it could be exposed to the sun. If it rained, he could take it back immediately. It would be best if all the wild boar meat could be dried today. It would be even harder to dry it if it rained again.

Just after she set up the drying rack, the system, which had been silent for several days, issued a reminder, saying that they would drift to an island in the afternoon. There was no one on the island, but there were players in the nearby waters, but their target was not the island, so Qiao Sheng could go to the island without worry.

After hearing what the system said, she made some simple food while it was still early. When she arrived at the island in the afternoon, she went into the sea and dug up everything she could. She estimated that the novice protection period would only last a few days. With her primitive equipment, she was really not worthy of fighting the big shark.

Not to mention the shark, she could handle a few more jellyfish here.

After a full lunch, she emptied all the compartments in her backpack except for water and food. The durability of her machete was also good. When she was about to reach the shore, Qiao Sheng even moved the drying rack outside back, in case it rained when she went into the water, the wild boar would be in trouble again.

As usual, she found a rocky area to tie the boat and put down the simple anchor she had made before. Looking at the forest on the shore, she always felt that something was wrong, so she asked the system again to make sure that there were no other players on the island, or even in the nearby sea area, before she went into the sea.
