(P.S. Behind the big locust tree, it was just enough to block the sun and not get sunburned. This also allowed them not to build a awning, nor would they associate it with a canopy.))

The three of them began to get busy. They all wanted to get the shelter ready before it rained.

Lin Yun 'er and Song Huiqiao were in charge of finding suitable trees to use as support, while Su Mubai ran into the forest's periphery, he needed to collect enough palm leaves.

"Hiss, it's so dark. We have to move faster.”

Even the outskirts of the forest were much darker than Su Mubai had imagined.

Fortunately, they were at the periphery. If they had gone in a little further, it would have been completely dark.

Of course, when the dark clouds became thicker, even the outer regions would be completely shrouded in darkness, just like the night. At that time, only on the beach could they receive some light from the sun.

Su Mubai had to gather enough palm leaves before it was completely dark, because even if this was the outskirts of the jungle, it was still five or six minutes away from the beach. If it was completely dark, he really might not be able to walk out.

This was also a situation that Su Mubai hadn't thought of before. If he had thought of this, he would have let Lin Yun 'er and Song Hui Qiao come in first to collect palm leaves.

However, it was too late to call them. He could only bite the bullet and come himself.

Su Mubai's hands moved very quickly. He tried his best to collect the palm leaves on the ground, not to cut the palm leaves on the palm trees, because that would be a waste of time.

Although the palm leaves on the palm trees might be fresher, they could only be used temporarily today. They could be reinforced tomorrow as long as there were enough.

One bundle, two bundles

Calculating in his heart how many palm leaves he needed, Su Mubai tied up the palm leaves he picked up each time. This way, it would be easier to take them out.

"Almost there!"

Looking at the palm leaves slowly growing in front of him, Su Mubai didn't hesitate too much. He tied the bundles of palm leaves together with a rope, pulling the rope, dragging these palm leaves behind him, himself quickly heading to the beach.

As for how these palms would rub against the trees, how they would hit the trees, that wasn't something Su Mubai could care about. As long as Su Mubai avoided them, they wouldn't get completely stuck between the trees, other than that, everything was fine!

“唦..唦..唦..”

When Su Mubai ran out of the forest, raindrops fell on him.

Outside, it had started drizzling. Su Mubai hadn't noticed this in the forest. After all, there were so many trees in the forest, and if the rain wasn't heavy, it wouldn't fall.

Even though Su Mubai had been startled when he had heard this sound while collecting the palm leaves, after carefully observing his surroundings and seeing nothing strange, he had thought it was the wind, not the rain.

"Sister Song, please hold on tight. I'll tie it up immediately.”

On the beach, Lin Yun 'er and Song Hui Qiao collected trees much faster than Su Mubai. This was normal, trees were too common.

However, the trees used to build the canopy had to be moist. Otherwise, they would break. As long as they were moist and of the right size, they could be used.

The dry trees that they found were all put aside by the two of them. After the rain, these were also very useful. Otherwise, even if they built a shelter later, without these dry firewood, they would not be able to light the fire.

The two of them also saw that Su Mubai hadn't come out yet, so they first began to build the skeleton. This thing wasn't difficult, very simple, and the two also knew how to build it.

In a short while, the two of them had finished more than half of it. The supports on both sides had been set up. To build this canopy, a total of four support points were needed. However, because there was a big locust tree, the big locust tree could act as a support point, so they only needed to make three support points.

If it was an ordinary place, it would be enough to have a support point, then use other trees to support this support point and the big locust tree, and then spread palm leaves on it.

However, on an island like this, and they were on the beach, there would be wind on the other three sides of the island, except for the jungle. When it rained, the wind would be even stronger.

He had to cover the other three sides well. Because there was a big locust tree blocking the back, he only needed to cover the left and right sides with palm leaves to prevent the wind from blowing and the rain from coming in.

To put it bluntly, the canopy had to be made like the simplest house. Walls were placed on the left and right sides, and the back was against a tree. Then, the roof was placed, leaving an exit facing the forest.
