“Rain,” she said.
Lu Ye looked up and saw that the bright full moon had disappeared, replaced by dark, inky clouds.
"No way..." he murmured.
Having learned their lesson two months prior, Lu Ye and Violet returned to the cabin before the rain completely stopped.
The captive goats and some wild rabbits were all hiding under the straw shed.
Minutes later, a torrential downpour began.
The door to the wooden house was tightly closed to prevent wind and rain from blowing in at an angle.
Lu Ye peered through the crack in the door at the rain outside and, feeling that it was about time, began to make preparations.
"Are you going out?" Violet asked.
"Ah."
Lu Ye put on a raincoat made of sheepskin.
Having learned from past mistakes, Lu Ye was fully prepared this time.
Although it's a bit simple, this raincoat does a good job of keeping out the rain, and the wool is all on the inside, which also helps to keep you warm.
"It's raining heavily, shall I go with you?"
"No, you wait for me here, and absolutely do not wander off, understand?"
Although Violet really wanted to go with Lu Ye, she was always very obedient.
So she nodded to show that she wouldn't wander off.
"Very good. Don't open the door for anyone unless I come back later."
"But there's no one else here..."
Before Violet could finish speaking, Lu Ye opened the wooden door and stepped into the rainy night.
After more than half an hour of trekking, Lu Ye arrived at the cliff at the top of the island once again.
He had explored most of the area around the island in the past few days, so he naturally knew which way to get to the top of the mountain faster.
The surrounding vegetation swayed and trembled, and the slender trees seemed about to be broken by the strong wind.
This rain was just as heavy as the torrential rain two months ago.
Lu Ye stood on the cliff, gazing at the black sea.
In the southeastern sea, he spotted a yellow dot of light, like a firefly in the night.
Lu Ye suppressed his pounding heart and continued to observe the point of light.
That was definitely a ship, though it was far away, it was being swept along in this direction by the surging tide.
"It's finally here..."
Lu Ye's stomach was slightly uncomfortable.
Surprisingly, he wasn't excited about leaving the island; instead, he felt more worried.
If he leaves the island, he will soon face an era filled with war.
But if he doesn't leave the island, he will never be able to leave this world.
Lu Ye took a deep look at the point of light in the sea, then turned and left, stepping through the rain and mud.
Chapter 20 The Stormy Night (2)
"Violet! Violet! Get ready!"
Lu Ye pushed open the wooden door, but Violet was nowhere to be seen.
The cabin was small and offered no hiding space.
Did she run away again?
Just as Lu Ye was wondering, a dark figure suddenly descended in front of him with a thud, landing steadily with agile movements.
That's Violet.
Lu Ye looked up and realized that she had been lying on the roof like a spider the whole time.
The entrance was narrow, and the roof structure had protruding wooden planks that could be grabbed, which allowed Violet to hide there.
If it hadn't been Lu Ye who opened the door, this person would have been subdued by now, or at least had their hand bones broken.
She wasn't stupid. From Lu Ye's behavior, Violet had a feeling that something was about to happen, so her body reacted in response.
In fact, given her innate fighting talent, she could have chosen a much better ambush location.
She stayed at home simply because Lu Ye told her not to wander around.
"What's wrong?" Violet asked.
“A boat will be coming to the island soon. Could you please hide in the sheepfold for a while?” Lu Ye took off his soaking wet sheepskin raincoat and put it on Violet. “This should keep you warm. Nothing inside is wet.”
"A ship?" Violet was slightly taken aback.
Perhaps she has seen a boat in her memory.
However, it has been so long that my memory of what this mode of transportation looked like has become very vague.
"That's right, if I whistle, you'll rush in and protect me, okay?"
"Just the whistling?" Violet nodded obediently. "Okay."
She walked towards the door, her petite figure standing alone.
Lu Ye felt a little reluctant and immediately grabbed Violet's arm.
She turned around, somewhat puzzled.
"Forget it, no need to go to the sheepfold, I'll just stay here... Damn it, what kind of logic is it for the host to go to the sheepfold when guests arrive?"
Lu Ye pulled the large sheepskin coat down, covering the upper part of Violet's face.
"Listen carefully, unless I tell you to use force, don't make any unnecessary moves, even if I'm being threatened, understand?"
“Okay.” Violet nodded again.
She didn't really understand why she couldn't fight back when threatened.
However, since it was Lu Ye who said it, I should just do as he says.
"By the way, don't speak, but if you are in danger, you are allowed to fight back immediately, even if it means killing me," Lu Ye added.
He absolutely could not let Violet get hurt; if she were harmed, it would mean he would also become a fish on the chopping block.
Lu Ye felt immense pressure as waves of stomach cramps surged through her.
As a teenager who has just finished the college entrance examination, it is inevitable to feel a little nervous when dealing with such an emergency.
Although he had imagined this scene dozens of times in his mind, when he actually encountered it, even the muscles in his hands and feet involuntarily stiffened.
More than four hours have passed since they came out of the hot spring.
According to Lu Ye's estimation, it should be around 11 o'clock at night now.
The ship had lighting equipment, and there were no other islands nearby, so the ship would definitely choose to land in this place.
Lu Ye added some firewood to the campfire and took some mutton to roast.
I've been busy for a while now, and I'm a little hungry.
More importantly, it should be natural.
I just stayed in this little wooden cabin as usual, went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and then ate something when I was a little hungry.
Time passed by, second by second.
On ordinary days, Lu Ye would find that time spent sitting around a campfire eating barbecue with Violet would pass very quickly.
But tonight felt like an eternity, every second an agony.
Lu Ye quietly adjusted the broken blade in the storage box to the most easily accessible position, just in case.
He had a broken arrow in his arms, a wooden bow resting against the wall to his left, and Violet's sheepskin raincoat concealed the axe she often used to chop wood.
Lu Ye silently sprinkled cumin powder on the lamb skewers and then handed them to Violet.
He has already made up his mind.
The best-case scenario would be for the other party to take me and Violet away from here, so we could all eat mutton around the campfire and live a peaceful and happy life.
But if the other party is hostile, then Violet and I will take care of them and steal the ship!
However, it was an armed ship, and the people on board were fully armed and equipped.
However, it's possible that after a shipwreck in a storm, no one would be in such high spirits, and perhaps most of their equipment would have been swept into the sea.
Moreover, the room wasn't very big, so Lu Ye was confident he could annihilate them once they got inside.
He had seen military documentaries that said firearms would be a hindrance in such cramped indoor spaces.
For close-quarters combat indoors, pistols and submachine guns are the best weapons to use. Longer firearms are not considered for indoor combat.
Violet's skills allow her to easily deal with enemies indoors.
Lu Ye had great confidence in Violet because he had already witnessed her strength firsthand.
More than twenty days ago, they were attacked by a brown bear.
It was the brown bear that Lu Ye saw when he first arrived on the island. If it weren't for Violet that day, he probably would have been in the bear's belly.
To be precise, it wasn't a brown bear that attacked him, but rather the herd of goats kept behind the house.
It's obvious that, besides Violet, the brown bear is at the top of the food chain on this island.
It catches fish and eats fruit, and occasionally catches a sheep to change things up; its life is quite enjoyable.
However, just over two months after Lu Ye arrived, he took away all the goats, a total of forty or fifty of them, big and small, thus completely cutting off his goat feast.
Perhaps the brown bear was tired of eating only fruit these days, or perhaps there wasn't enough fruit in the jungle... As a bear that has always had dignity, it couldn't bear to have its food taken away, so it came to steal sheep.
Upon hearing the noise that night, Violet immediately jumped out of bed and rushed out the door while Lu Ye was still half asleep.
