Chapter 139 A Strong Wind Comes

At three in the morning, the waves started to rise.

Shi Xia stood by the window, extending her supernatural abilities to sense things.

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Gaga gaga gaga"

Someone knocked on the door, and Big White opened it.

Shi Xia knew that it was Shan Yuancheng who had come, and the little eagle flew back first.

"coming."

Shi Xia opened the door, and Shan Yuancheng was panting heavily, the sea breeze that had just picked up making him unsteady on his feet.

Shi Xia grabbed Shan Yuancheng's arm and pulled him inside.

"I know, the waves are rising."

"Yes, yes—"

Shan Yuancheng struggled to breathe, and Grandpa Shi and Xu Danhong also got up. The noise from next door could also be heard.

Shi Xia handed Shan Yuancheng over to Grandpa Xu, then picked up a large drum with one hand and started banging it.

"The waves are rising!"

"The waves are rising!"

"Come out and get some fresh water, for one last check!"

Shi Xia shouted from one end of the village to the other, and everyone got up. No one dared to ignore Shi Xia's words, except for a few idiots in the educated youth group.

Cheng Qingmin was the most obedient among the educated youth, while the others were completely uncooperative and didn't even bring their clothes from the yard inside.

Cheng Qingmin carried a shoulder pole to fetch water, and gave his final piece of advice: "You'd better listen to Shi Xia. Everyone in the village listens to her. If you don't, you won't look smart; you'll just look foolish."

"Li Yafang, don't say anything. I help you with your work because you are my fiancée, but that doesn't mean I approve of what you're doing."

"Li Yafang, if you really want to marry me, do as I say, otherwise... let's call it quits."

Li Yafang was stunned, about to explode in anger, when Cheng Qingmin, as if he had foreseen it, said, "No need to argue, and no need to suspect that I have someone else. I will not marry you, and I will never marry anyone else in this life. I will stay single for the rest of my life!"

"I do what I say!"

Cheng Qingmin's gaze was too serious, and Li Yafang became frightened.

In this unfamiliar environment, she became accustomed to relying on Cheng Qingmin.

She used to be able to rely on her family to back her up and control Cheng Qingmin in the city, but now she's all alone, and she doesn't dare to do that.

She was afraid that if she left Cheng Qingmin, she wouldn't be able to survive here alone.

Cheng Qingmin knows Li Yafang too well. Does she like him?

Maybe a little, but more about "use".

Cheng Qingmin was certain that if there was a chance to leave this place, Li Yafang would seize it immediately.

However, he didn't care about any of that; he had his own principles for living.

This is simply repaying a debt of gratitude, nothing more.

Under Cheng Qingmin's leadership, the educated youth settlement also started to move, but it was a bit slow.

The huge waves and strong winds caused half of the water that the villagers carried to their homes to spill.

But we still have to keep going; fresh water is so important on an island.

"Use water sparingly, don't clean it indiscriminately, survival is the most important thing."

"Don't use open flames in windy weather. Now is the time to make more dry food, and we should eat dry food first."

"Don't sleep too soundly. If the wind and waves are too strong, the whole village will evacuate to the caves for refuge."

Shi Xia shouted, and Uncle Cao organized the strong men in the village to carry dried kelp, dried seaweed, and various dried fish and seafood to the cave to store as their reserve food.

Once the waves rise, the island's connection with the outside world is severed.

Therefore, food is very important.

The three islands in the sea are moving in an orderly manner, and Haiming Island is not far behind.

At the moment the waves started to rise, Chief Wei felt no relief that he had made the right bet; he immediately called the weather station.

"The waves are rising! Let your monitors see, the waves are rising!"

"Quickly notify the other islands: provide fresh water and food, ensure houses are secure, and do as much as you can!" Chief Wei hurriedly relayed the message. The people at the weather station agreed but still didn't take it seriously.

Is the wave at the starting point of the sea abnormal?
Make a fuss.

Chief Wei did his best. While preparing to take care of the entire Haiming Island, he was also prepared to go out for rescue at any time.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun had disappeared.

The sky remained dark, with swirling black clouds and a strong wind blowing.

The waves crashed against the shore, each one exploding like a cannonball.

Shi Xia, wearing a raincoat, walked against the wind in the strong wind, standing on the shore, with Uncle Cao and Cao Ping behind her, as well as Old Man Mu and the accountant.

"This wave... came too strangely."

"These clouds won't disperse."

"Shi Xia, shall we retreat from the cave now?"

The group of them observed from outside, ready to evacuate at any moment.

Shi Xia wiped the spray from her face.

"withdraw!"

She sensed an even larger gust of wind and something unusual about the seabed.

Shi Xia uttered a single word, and the entire village stirred once more.

Shi Xia turned around and looked at the seaweed houses in the village. Countless seaweeds were dancing wildly in the wind, as if it were a carnival.

This time, many houses are likely to be lost.

It's okay, if we knock it down, we can start over, what's there to be afraid of!
They may not have resources themselves, but don't the neighboring countries have them too?
She loves to stroll around the surrounding area.

Shi Xia has an exceptionally good mindset, unmatched by anyone else; she's a queen who emerged from a zombie world.

As long as a person is alive, everything else is trivial.

While the villagers were being evacuated, Shi Xia carried large water vats from each household to safety.

Water is very important; it cannot be stored away for nothing.

Even if she has water-related superpowers, she still needs these water tanks as cover.

The strong men in the village came to help. The women formed a circle of three or four, keeping the children inside, and evacuated against the wind.

It's windy right now, but you can still walk.

Shi Xia had a premonition that after today, she might not even be able to walk tomorrow.

"Speed ​​up, hurry up!"

The villagers helped each other and pulled one another as they evacuated towards the cave.

The cave is very large, carved out little by little by generations of ancestors, just to avoid typhoons or disasters.

The sea is windy, and the old houses couldn't withstand it.

So the cave expanded with each generation, growing larger and larger, until it could accommodate everyone.

More than two hundred people were crammed into a cave.

The cave was divided into distinct areas: a food storage area, a cooking area, a living area, and a toilet area, all clearly marked.

Everyone went in in an orderly fashion; no one made a fuss or complained.

Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Shan were also among them. Both of them were worldly-wise people, and they were quite moved by what they saw.

"Shi Xia is this one."

Grandpa Shan gave a thumbs up, and Grandpa Xu nodded.

"Yes, without this backbone, every task would be extremely difficult to accomplish."

"Indeed."

The two old men followed Grandpa Shi, Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen were together. After the things were put down, Xu Danqing and Shan Yuancheng watched over them, and the others went to help.

Grandpa Xu cooked a pot of herbal soup. With so many people together, the air was too stuffy, and it was easy to get sick.

He also prepared a lot of herbal ash and sprinkled it inside the cave to ensure disinfection.

The villagers gradually settled down, but Shi Xia carried water tanks and various containers back and forth tirelessly, never resting, and working against the clock.

Such a person is capable, motivated, and responsible; who wouldn't genuinely trust and admire him?
