Chapter Thirty-Four: Ordinary Life

I am an unqualified bamboo weaver who has only learned some basic weaving techniques, in the old saying that a bottle is less than half a bottle shake, in fact, my little craft can only be filled with the bottom of a bottle.

But I had to make some tools anyway, because it was what I needed for my life, and I only had this skill to use, and what I learned in college was completely useless now.

It can be seen that if a person is far away from civilized society and away from the crowd, what he wants to survive depends on the strength of human beings, that is, the most primitive life skills of human beings, and everything else is nonsense.

Preparing a fishing cage is very simple, it is difficult to get out if the fish can turn in smoothly with a large mouth and a small mouth, as for the shape, as long as the large mouth and small mouth are guaranteed, but most of the fishing cages in many documentaries are cone-shaped, so it is easy to compile.

The fishing cage I made was a double-body one, with an opening between a large conical bamboo basket and a smaller tapered lid, and then tied together with bamboo wire, so that the fishing cage was braided.

Although the appearance of the fishing cage is very ugly, and the twisted seal is not tight, but there is no problem with fishing, and it is a double-body as long as you remove the lid to take out the fish, which is very convenient, but to be honest, I really don't know how to make up the integrated fishing cage.

I made a total of eight fishing cages, during this period I found that the fishing cage is better than the other, the last fishing cage is very different from the first fishing cage, at first glance is a master and an apprentice's craft, it seems that my craftsman potential is still there, more practice I will be able to become an excellent bamboo weaving craftsman.

I couldn't wait to set up the eight fishing cages in the sea and fix them, and at the same time put some small fish and shellfish in the fish cages as bait, just to wait for a while to see if there was a harvest.

The fish cage was laid by me in the morning, and now it's dusk for so long, and there should be fish in the cage.

During this time, I also made a bamboo basket for seafood, which was very good, but the bamboo basket still looked a bit ugly.

I went to the first fishing cage and put it away, and found him very heavy, and when I opened the lid, I was really overjoyed, and there were more than a dozen fish in the cage, which was really fruitful.

I was very excited to put away all the fishing cages in turn, and each fishing cage had more or less harvested about four or five pounds of fish, and after the fish were collected, the fishing cages were rearranged.

When I came to the hut and looked at the fish in the bamboo basket, it should be enough for me to eat for the past two days, and I thought to myself that it was fortunate that I did not drift to a certain island in China, otherwise how could there be so many fish to catch.

It is said that pollution and overfishing along the coast of China make it difficult to catch fish in the coastal waters, and it is very difficult to catch fish in China with a casual fishing cage like me.

However, I still admire the Chinese's achievements and boldness in eating this aspect, almost everything that can be eaten Chinese can make it into tricks to satisfy people's taste buds, those who can't eat Chinese also dare to try it, exaggerate to say that Chinese food can contain everything, just and themselves are not in the recipe.

Of course, I am Chinese, drifting on this desert island as a Chinese foodie, I have to survive in the wild to be one level higher than the people of other countries.

Now I have plenty of food and fresh water, as a Chinese foodie I have a lot of recipes, all kinds of fish, shellfish, crabs, octopus, all kinds of seaweed, by the way, coconut meat and papaya, and even sometimes I can dig a few bamboo shoots, fat, protein, vitamins, reasonable combination without worrying about malnutrition, but the recipe is no starchy food, so I miss the taste of rice and steamed buns.

It is best to drink boiled water and eat cooked food to survive in the wild, which can greatly avoid the infection of E. coli dysentery.

In order to survive, I had to work on time every day, and working day after day made me feel that life was very boring, and I didn't even have someone to talk to.

It's boring,,,,,

But no matter what, he was still alive, and he desperately hoped that a boat would pass by, so that he could be brought back to civilized society and reunited with his family, but he had not seen a boat for a long time here, and even if this island was not on the fairway, there should have been a fishing boat passing by, but hell, there was no fishing boat.

Maybe this small island is too small, only five or six meters above sea level, and I can't see much from the low visibility on the beach, which is to blame why this earth is round.

I also wondered if this island was formed by volcanic eruptions or by the movement of the continental shelf, whether there were other islands nearby, whether there were people living on other islands, what was the distance between them, and whether I should make a raft to explore.

I looked at the endless sea on all sides of the island, and there was no other island, and sailing on a small raft at sea was almost equivalent to suicide, especially for people like me who didn't know how to sail, if I really made a raft to ask for help, there was a chance that I would die in the sea.

In those film and television dramas, the story of a person in distress who can drift across the ocean with a small raft and finally be rescued, the probability is too low and too low, it should be a beautiful fairy tale.

It won't be long before a raft built with some spill picking tool will be broken up by the sea, and this path of suicide should not be taken, unless you want to die or have no hope but to gamble with God and God.

till death is the afterlife,,,,,

But I'm not there yet, not to mention that I have developed a fear of drifting on the sea, and I am really afraid of drifting aimlessly on the vast sea alone, facing death at any time, and that fear cannot be experienced without experience.

If I had to face it again, I'd rather die on this island, and the experience would make my heart palpitate just to think about it, maybe time will slowly erase everything.
