As the typhoon approached, seawater began to pour back into the island from the coastline. The salt pan built on the south side of the island was completely swallowed up, and the floor of the fishing port was completely destroyed. Down.
In the second week, on Monday, the wind became louder and louder, which proved that the typhoon was about to land on the island. When Li Hongshen came out of the cave to check as usual, he was a little surprised to find a white line in the middle of the sky from a distance. Look, immediately turned around and ran into the cave.
Chapter 11
"Come here, a tsunami is about to hit the island, everyone be prepared."
Hearing Li Hongshen's message, the people inside the cave panicked. The original tribe was destroyed by the tsunami, and the survivors were all swept to this island by the tsunami, so they were very clear about the power of the tsunami.
But fortunately, Li Hongshen had already done a good job of appeasement before, and arranged the countermeasures.
Relying on the prestige of the past year, the crowd is still relatively stable. They all lean against the edge of the wall and hold on to the load-bearing wooden stakes, so that they can stand firm even if the mountain shakes.
Li Hongshen and more than a dozen warriors approached the entrance of the cave, and lined up a long line to deliver prepared sandbags from behind to seal them up. There were also people holding sandbags around several ventilation openings, ready to seal them up at any time to prevent seawater from pouring back.
In addition to the sandbags, they also prepared a few long and thick bamboo poles, the middle of which has been charcoal fired to make it hollow. Breathe outside.
Since Li Hongshen entered the mountain, he could not see the spectacular scenery outside. The white line dividing the sky was actually a wave line, which was a huge wave of nearly 30 meters. The sea water pushed the wave line into the air, and then went crazy move forward.
After Li Hongshen turned around and ran back to the cave, in just a few minutes, huge waves hit the entire island, and the seawater rushed into the island and quickly spread from the coast to the entire island.
When the wave hit the island, people inside the mountain could clearly feel the cave shaking a few times, and exclamations came out of their mouths, but fortunately the mountain was relatively strong, and the cave added load-bearing columns, so nothing happened. Something like a collapse.
Outside the cave, the place where the Trialer was docked had been submerged by sea water, and only the exposed masts could be seen that the Trialer was still firmly fixed on the ground and was not washed away by the sea.
The smelting workshop and the sugar mills and paper mills on the side of the sugarcane field were not affected much because of the relatively high terrain, while the waterwheel was rapidly reversing due to the wind.
Fengqi Valley was covered by a large forest in front of it, and the tide was effectively slowed down after passing through the forest. After invading the small plain at the mouth of the valley and destroying part of the hemp grass, it gently hit the fence of the camp, and then followed the river. subside.
When the tsunami passed through the island, it was like a domino, collapsing from the island to both sides, and then the waves rolled inward, and finally turned into several waves and pushed far away.
The tsunami was followed by a typhoon, which made landfall on the island within an hour of the tsunami passing.
Even if you are sitting in the cave, you can feel the tearing of the wind outside. The howling sound of the wind comes from outside the mountain, and the wind blowing from the vent makes the leather armor and pickles hanging in the cave swing each other.
And Li Hongshen didn't dare to go out to surf at this time. Except for the necessary ventilation, the rest of the cave was completely sealed, and he stayed in the hammock in the mountain obediently, waiting for the typhoon to pass.
However, he was somewhat relieved, the wind was whistling from outside, but there was no seawater pouring in from the vent, which proved that the tsunami had passed.
On Wednesday, the outside suddenly became quiet, and the sound of wind, rain, etc. suddenly decreased a lot. Li Hongshen stretched his head out of the cave, and saw the beautiful but shocking scenery.
He discovered that the typhoon was not over yet, but now the island was in the eye of the typhoon. The sky above was clear for ten miles, but the surrounding area was surrounded by a gray-white wind wall.
With a telescope, you can see some water vapor and small stones on the edge of the wind wall. They rise into the sky under the action of the wind, and are drawn into the wind wall after reaching a certain height.
But inside the wind eye near the cave, you can feel the wind blowing down from the top of your head, which makes you feel chest tight and very uncomfortable.
The speed of the typhoon was very fast. When Li Hongshen heard the disappearance of the sound and probed out to check, the wind wall had already pressed over. Li Hongshen was so frightened that he shrank his head quickly and retreated into the cave to continue waiting for the typhoon to disappear.
The typhoon lasted until Saturday night. During this period, Li Hongshen went to the entrance of the cave to check the situation many times. Due to the bad weather, he couldn't check the situation of the camp at the foot of the mountain, but he was not too worried. If it didn't work, he could rebuild it.
After all, there is a saying that goes well, "If you save people and lose land, all people and land will survive; if you save land and lose people, all people and land will be lost."
As long as there are people, there will be hope. If the camp is gone, it can be recreated. If the people are gone, there will be no use for the camp.
Although this principle is very clear and clear, there are still candidates who are greedy and don't like to compromise every year.
In the end, the lucky ones lost some population, and the unlucky ones withdrew from the trial sadly.
On Sunday, half a month before the end of the trial, the sound of the wind and rain finally disappeared, and the sound of seabirds came from outside the valley. Li Hongshen knew that this day was finally passed.
The experience of dealing with the natural disaster this time was deeply imprinted in Li Hongshen's heart, shattering his original arrogance as a traveler from the bottom of his heart.
In the face of this natural disaster, how is he different from other testers?He also lay flat and let the natural disaster knead; he also hid in the built bunker and waited for the end of the natural disaster.
Li Hongshen led a few people out of the cave. He looked up at the sky. Now the sky was cloudless, and the blue sky reflected a few pairs of seabirds in flight, which made people feel very comfortable.
"Look, there is a rainbow over there, so beautiful!"
Li Li's loud shout made Li Hongshen look away from the sky. Following Li Li's pointing, he saw a huge rainbow bridge appearing in the sky, extending from the mountain peak in the west to the bottom of the cave, spanning the entire island.
The colorful rainbow looks extraordinarily beautiful under the sunlight at the beginning of the day. Looking at this beautiful scenery, Li Hong took a deep breath:
"ah!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Li Hongshen kept yelling until his face was flushed and the veins in his neck were bulging, but he felt extraordinarily refreshed after the yelling.
The cave life of more than half a month made him feel a little depressed. He came to this strange civilization as a traveler for many years, and he always felt extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't trust anyone, and he never dared to open his heart to anyone. .
This roar uttered the depression in his heart, the tension in his mind, and the pressure from his own thoughts. Now he is in a very happy mood, and those messy thoughts before are completely left behind by him.
Li Hongshen turned his head to look at the Great Elder beside him, Li Li and others, with firm and gentle eyes, and said:
"I will face this world with a heart of awe, but I will stand with you, I will always be at the forefront, and I will lead you to the top."
Li Li didn't know what had happened to Li Hongshen. He only knew that after the patriarch finished shouting, his aura became more steady, like a rock or a mountain, making people believe him and follow him involuntarily.
"Patriarch, don't worry, I will always follow you!"
Chapter 12 The end of the trial
After the typhoon landed and the tsunami passed, the weather finally ushered in consecutive sunny days. Li Hongshen led the people out of the cave and started the reconstruction work.
The first is the camp at the foot of the mountain. The camp is in a mess. There are all kinds of messy branches and rocks on the road, and several trees have been uprooted and smashed into the house.
There were also several large holes in the roofs of several houses smashed by stones, and the public toilets not far from the camp were also unusable due to erosion by the heavy rain.
The most damaged areas in the camp were the terraced fields. Even though some terraced fields were reinforced, the soil was still lost, exposing the immature crops inside.
There are still many immature medicines in the medicine fields that have been soaked by the rain, and several farmlands have been washed away by the water because they are close to mountain springs.
Li Hongshen inspected along the water flow and found that the water channel of the mountain spring above the original farmland was blocked by a huge rock, which caused the spring water to divert to the farmland.
After ordering people to quickly remove the boulder and repair the canal, Li Hongshen walked out of Fengqi Valley and saw a large piece of hemp lying on the ground.
The fence erected at the entrance of Fengqi Valley was not overturned, but it was blown backwards by the wind.
The road across the east and west ends needs to be maintained. Many big trees fell on the road in the middle, and the original wooden rails were smashed and deformed.
Coming to the sugarcane field, the workshops here did not have any major losses, but the sugarcane field needs to be treated, and when the time comes to change the soil and use more water, it should not have much impact.
Check the mining area to the west. Fortunately, this is an open-pit mine. In order to prevent natural disasters, Li Hongshen did not prepare to open the mine before, but dug down layer by layer. Now there is some rainwater at the bottom of the mine, which will dry up in a few days. The problem not big.
Then came the smelting workshop. I found that the wooden shaft of the water wheel needs to be replaced. It seems to be turning too much and too fast. The connection has completely turned black due to excessive friction. Li Hongshen plans to replace it with ceramics later, which will be harder Friction resistance.
The Trialer still stands in the woods after being washed by sea water, but it is decorated with seaweed and coral, and there is still a lot of sea water on the deck.
However, Li Hongshen found that there was no damage after going around for a week. After releasing the water and drying it in the shade, it was a good boat again.
