Chapter 85: Getting on the right track
It seems that the heavens can't stand the misery of the two of them, and this morning's harvest is very rich.
In the reef area, I picked up about 20 catties of spicy snails, about 6 catties of hermit crabs, seven sea urchins, and a large piece of seaweed, which was enough for two people to have a full meal.
Sun Li happily took out her harvest, "Let's just say that how can you starve to death if you guard such a big sea!"
"I've picked up good stuff too. ”
Jiang Mo took out his own harvest.
Five bottles of mineral water, two large bottles, one drifting bottle, and a rope tied to the cap of the drifting bottle can have other purposes.
In addition to this, there were two T-shirts and a plastic slipper, and it was strange that these people threw their clothes into the sea...... However, textiles are also difficult treasures for them.
Finally, a piece of iron about half a square meter.
"It's metal, it looks like it's coming off something, and it's not rusty. ”
The two of them, who haven't even entered the Stone Age, are extremely eager for metal, and although they don't know how to use this thing for the time being, it's never an exaggeration to treat it as an artifact.
The two of them were in high spirits, and went back to the slate to burn a meal of spicy snails and hermit crabs, and by the way, they stuffed the seaweed directly into their mouths. Both green and brown seaweed are edible and nutritious, and because they are a little old, they can't be broken in one bite, and they are hard and have a bitter salt taste, and they taste like two words - strong.
By the way, I opened two sea urchins as snacks, and after eating, the two of them slept for a while.
In this case, it is unreliable to follow the habit of sunrise and daily income and rest, two or three sleeps a day are in line with the environment, after all, you can only sleep half a night at night, and the other half of the night can only be made up during the day.
When you wake up, you can continue to worry about the next meal.
If there is nothing to pursue, he will continue to pick up shellfish, but shellfish are not infinite, and a large plate of shellfish can really replenish very few calories, so Jiang Mo began to think about catching animals.
What's the point of living without meat!
"Now we have ropes and can do rope traps. Jiang Mo raised the rope in his hand.
"Will you? I'll only know how to do crush traps. ”
"I'm good at mechanics. ”
Jiang Mo immediately went to prepare the corresponding wooden sticks, and he had no cutting tools to break them forcibly, which was a waste of physical strength, but there was no way.
Armed with the trap materials, the two entered the woods again.
Look for traces of wildlife.
Because of the experience of catching rabbits, Jiang Mo knew that there were rabbits on this island, and in fact, he had also seen pheasants, deer, sheep and wild boars, but this rope was relatively short and thin, and could only catch small animals such as rabbits and mice.
"Hey, there's wild vegetables in that place, wait for me. ”
In addition to looking for traces of other animals, finding wild vegetables is their main purpose.
By the way, I also caught eight cicadas and kept them in bottles, which can also be roasted or eaten raw, crunchy, chicken-flavored.
Jiang Mo waited for a while, but heard her say, "Jiang Mo, come over here, what is this." ”
Walk over......
It was a cave slightly hidden by weeds.
"It's not like it's a natural formation, some animal dug it. Jiang Mo reached in and digged it, the cave was very deep, and his hand only touched a few balls.
Take it out and take a look.
It's poop.
Jiang Mo frowned, and didn't throw it away, but put it under his nose and sniffed it.
It doesn't stink much, and it smells of grass, so I can't figure out what kind of grass it is.
"It should be a rabbit or a squirrel. Jiang Mo threw away the stool and put the things down: "Let's set a trap here." ”
If he could see it with his own eyes, he could tie the rabbit sturdy with a single puppet trick, but he couldn't stay here all the time.
The three holes of the cunning rabbit, the rabbit hole can never have only one exit, and it is normal to have five or six.
Jiang Mo made a hanging neck and put it nearby, clapping his hands: "Let's go, come and have a look when you have time." ”
It's best to take the bait, and there's no way if you don't take the bait, so he just uses a rope and tries his luck.
Bring back a bunch of wild vegetables and fruits, eat some of them, and save the other part for tomorrow morning, and as the sun sets, the day after the rain is over.
......
After two days, Jiang Mo gradually became familiar with this fairly regular life, woke up, and looked for food (seafood and wild vegetables), drink (fresh water), and find things to use (vines and firewood).
After doing these things, the day is almost over, and life is unpretentious and boring.
Jiang Mo is okay, but his hair and beard have grown a little, and his skin has darkened a lot. In comparison, Sun Li has changed the most, suddenly from a fat man of two hundred pounds to a fat man of one hundred and fifty pounds, and the whole person has shrunk a lot, and she has the appearance of a woman.
Go to the rabbit nest and take a look at it as usual.
Squirting.
The trap is triggered, and the grass at the other end of the rope arches.
"Hmm, I really caught it!" Jiang Mo was stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
Meat!
There's meat to eat!
It's meat, rabbit meat!
Grunt.
Jiang Mo stepped forward, lifted a fat gray rabbit with his feet tied, and the chef's smile appeared: "Tonight, add food!"
"What should I do?" asked Sun Li.
"It's okay to cut it with shells...... But it's time to make a little bit of tooling and get into the Stone Age. "Jiang Mo still has some experience in this aspect of production.
Flame and stone tools represent the first step in the use of tools.
marks the origin of civilization.
There's no reason why Homo erectus knew how to make simple stone tools before, and he couldn't get it out of his dignified puppet making expert.
Picking a bunch of stones, Jiang Mo began to smash them.
You don't have to use a sharp kitchen knife to cut animal fur and muscles, but you can also use a jagged object to create a cutting effect.
Jiang Mo smashed more than a dozen stones, and finally smashed the edge of a stone into an ideal concave and convex shape.
Sharp and wavy edges.
If you can't understand it, you can clench your fists and look at the back of your fists, which is probably what it means.
When the kitchen knife comes to make no problem at all.
"You go and prepare the charcoal. ”
Jiang Mo rolled up his sleeves.
Peel the skin, take the internal organs, cut off the head, take the limbs, divide the back into two parts, divide the rabbit meat into pieces, and thread it into wooden sticks.
At the end, sprinkle a little coarse salt from the sun.
The action is fluid and the style of a generation of chefs is showcased.
"Finally, barbecue!"
"I didn't expect to have a BBQ one day. Sun Li pinched her face, smelling the fragrance on the grill and only felt like a dream.
It was the most delicious meal they had eaten since they came to the island.
In a blink of an eye, twelve days have passed, and Jiang Mo and Sun Li's desert island life is on the right track.
The wolves were nowhere to be seen, and the weather was fine, so the two of them built the original small shed more stable and sturdy during this time, and hoarded some food and charcoal firewood.
Hanger hangers, hammocks, toilets, shower cabins were also made.
In terms of tools, simple stone axes and stone drafts were made, which were very difficult to use, but they were also better than with bare hands.
Using the collected vines to rub out the rope, Jiang Mo made more traps, which could basically stabilize a meal of rabbit meat or squirrel meat to eat every day, and also dried a little to make bacon for reserves.
"When the hell is the search and rescue team coming? Sun Li, who was no longer very fat, looked at the distant sea level.
Wolf smoke rises from the island, but it is only lonely in the air.
Although her survival was basically guaranteed, Sun Li became depressed.
The more time passes, the less likely it is that a search and rescue team will appear.
She is not like Jiang Mo, she just wants to go home and die...... She had no way out but to look at the vast sea with a faint hope.
"Is the air wetter than before, do you feel it?" Jiang Mo changed the subject.
"The wind is a bit weird...... It doesn't match the geography of the place or the seasons at all. Sun Li came back to her senses and looked at the sky with some concern.
The hearts of the two sank.
The sky is about to change.
What they didn't know was that about 500 kilometers from the island, a huge typhoon was slowly passing by.
