Chapter 65: 127 Days on a Desert Island (2)

【Desert Island Day 2】:

Early in the morning, the sun rises over sea level,

The crowd trembled and crawled up, all of them turned blue, and kept rubbing their arms with their hands;

Sun Jian said with his teeth gurgling, "Isn't it quite hot during the day on this island, why is it so cold at night?"

Qin Hailu glanced at him: "I don't understand this, it's windy at night! No, if there is no fire, sooner or later you will freeze to death." ”

There was a pause: "Do you have any ignition on you like a lighter?"

Wan Jing said weakly: "With a lighter, you can't pass the security check." ”

Xia Xiong said with a sad face: "What's the matter? If you continue like this, you will have to freeze and catch a cold in a night or two at most." ”

Guo Tao gritted his teeth: "No matter what you don't have today, you have to think of ways to raise the fire, otherwise if you go on like this, even if you don't freeze to death, you will die of diarrhea and dehydration because of too much raw seafood!"

Qin Hailu glanced at him and sneered: "How do you make a fire? Turn it into a lighter? Or drill wood to make a fire?"

Guo Tao looked at her and frowned: "That's right, it's to drill wood for fire!"

After saying that, ignoring the disbelief of the others, he turned around and walked out......

..................

On the first attempt,

Guo Tao found a branch with a curve, and peeled some bark from the palm tree, put the dried fluff aside as velvet, smashed the bark, took out the tendons inside, kneaded them into a thin thread, and then tied them to the branches, and made a bow-like tool;

Then, Guo Tao found two wooden sticks, one thick and one thin, and first smashed and grinded the thin wooden stick with a stone to make a sharp end, and then wrapped the thin wooden stick around the bowstring, facing the thick wooden stick vertically, and began to go up and down......

Seeing that the hole is getting deeper and deeper, and the wood chips thrown from the hole gradually turn black,

"Smack!" the string broke.

The crowd of onlookers let out a sigh of disappointment.

Guo Tao, who was sweating profusely, frowned and took a breath: "The fiber toughness of the palm tree is not enough, I'll try to thicken the bowstring." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the palm tree.

On the second attempt, although the bowstring was much thicker, it still broke before the fire could rise;

On the third attempt, Guo Tao changed his method and found a thinner dry branch, which was quickly sharpened on the thick wood like a kitchen knife, but after a while, Guo Tao was paralyzed on the ground, and there was still no spark.

The people next to him became impatient, and Qin Hailu said a little bitterly: "Is it okay? If it doesn't work, don't do it, let's think about whether there is any other way." ”

A hint of anger flashed on Guo Tao's slightly pale face, but he pursed his mouth and didn't say a word.

While a group of people were talking nonsense, he sat up cross-legged again, put the thin wooden stick in his hand, and rubbed his palms together, which was the most primitive and laborious method of drilling wood to make fire.

After a while, he let go of his hands, gasped for breath, and let the stick fall to the ground, his sweaty face and white lips.

Qin Hailu next to him glanced at him and let out a disdainful snort,

Xia Xiong said to him with a hint of ridicule: "Big brother, don't bother with that, or let's sleep together tonight, won't we be able to keep each other warm?"

After speaking, he looked at Wan Jing and Qin Hailu with some obscenity, and suddenly, the man's laughter and the woman's scolding rang out.

Just as Guo Tao, who looked unwilling, picked up the wooden stick and was about to try again, a hand was on his shoulder, and when he turned his head, it was indeed Pan Yueming, who had not said a word.

"I'll give it a try, and if you can't hold it, you can take it over immediately, so that the success rate will be greater. Pan Yueming looked at Guo Tao with a somewhat obscure look and said softly.

Guo Taoleng for a moment, the corner of his right mouth was slightly raised, and he gave up his position very happily, and when he got up, he patted Pan Yueming's shoulder hard.

Pan Yueming looked at him, smiled slightly, then turned his head, took a sharp breath, closed the thin wooden stick in his palm, and rubbed it quickly.

After a while, Pan Yueming shouted: "I can't hold it anymore, come over and relay!"

As he spoke, he continued to rub it again and again, and slowly got up;

Guo Tao quickly approached, quickly took over, and continued to rub;

The two of them relayed twice in this way, and at last black smoke began to rise from the cave, and everyone became excited, and gathered around to watch;

Finally, after the sixth relay, a few sparks finally emerged from the hole, and Pan Yueming on the side hurriedly put up the velvet, caught the follow-up sparks, and then wrapped them tightly with velvet and kept blowing in;

The fire, at last, was born;

Looking at the flames in Pan Yueming's hands, everyone cheered;

Guo Tao, on the other hand, was paralyzed on the ground, panting heavily, but with a proud smile on his face......

..................

At night, a crowd gathered around the fire, talking and laughing;

led by Qin Hailu, they began to introduce each other;

Qin Hailu is a gold collar engaged in the financial industry, and he flew to the United States to go to the headquarters for a meeting, but he didn't expect to encounter a plane crash;

Wan Jing is a flight attendant who has just been on the job for half a year, and this happened to her first international long-distance flight;

Sun Jian is a veteran otaku who spent a whole year of his savings in the United States to participate in the A7 Game Show;

Xia Xiong is a small stall owner, and he went to the United States to treat himself and travel abroad;

The two dragons are salesmen of the same import and export company, who went to the United States to do business;

When it was Pan Yueming's turn, he just calmly told everyone that he was an ordinary internist, and as for why he went to the United States, he didn't mention it;

In the end, it was Guo Tao's turn, he told everyone that he was a senior outdoor adventure anchor, and he wanted to go to the United States for a wilderness adventure live broadcast, but he didn't expect to encounter this air crash, but on this desert island, his knowledge has some use;

Speaking of this, he had a slight smug on his face.

Sun Jian looked at Guo Tao with some admiration: "Brother Guo, how do you know so much, how many years have you been an outdoor anchor?"

Guo Tao said a little smugly: "I have been doing it for almost 2 years, I have entered Tarim, drilled the Great Xing'an Mountains, dived through the water of Qiongdao, and even drilled the Grand Canyon of the Lancang River." ”

Wan Jing asked with some envy: "Then you should be able to make a lot of money, right?" I heard that being an anchor can make money, hundreds of thousands of dollars a night!"

Guo Tao was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "How easy is it? In the past three years I have been an anchor, I have encountered dozens of big and small dangers, and I almost couldn't come back twice; in order to make the audience happy, but even so, after removing the expenses, I can only earn an average of three or four thousand a month; several times, I haven't even earned back the travel expenses." ”

Xia Xiong was a little surprised and said, "Can't it? That can't be less than what I earn selling fried potatoes? I can still earn six or seven thousand a month." ”

Qin Hailu smiled a little ostentatiously: "Yes, this is too little, not enough for me to buy a set of clothes on the weekend." ”

Looking at Guo Tao's somewhat ugly face, Qin Hailu smiled slightly: "But don't be afraid, we will be saved in a day or two, Brother Guo, you will go back to the magic capital with me, and I will hire you as my personal trainer, 12,000 a month, how about it?"

Guo Tao's face was even more unnatural, and there was a hint of shame in his drooping eyes.

Pan Yueming looked indifferent, and threw dry wood into the fire: "In a month or two, don't think that someone can save us; ”

Wan Jing's face changed, and she asked nervously, "Why?"

Pan Yueming looked at her and said calmly: "When the plane crashed, if I remember correctly, we had been flying for about 9 hours, that is, 6,300 kilometers to 7,200 kilometers; ”

As a flight attendant, Miss Wan should know that this area belongs to the open sea, even if the place where the plane fell is a shallow sea, the signal sent by the black box inside will not be able to be locked by the outside world because there is no communication to receive the base station. ”

Speaking of this, Pan Yueming showed a hint of ridicule: "What's more, you should be clear that the high seas are secretly involved in all aspects of international diplomatic interests, so it is impossible to have a large-scale search and rescue operation without notifying the United Nations organization and obtaining approval." ”

"As for the time it takes for this procedure...... You should also know that the situation of our Chinese people in the international arena can be approved within a month or two, and it is already Amitabha. ”

After listening to Pan Yueming's analysis, everyone's faces were different......

..................

【Desert Island Day 3】:

In the morning, a group of people sit in different positions under the coconut tree, with a dozen green coconuts piled up in the middle;

Guo Tao said with a serious face: "The juice in the green coconut is far less than I imagined, each is only about 200 ml, and in such a hot weather, we men must consume at least 2800 ml a day to avoid heat stroke, and women must at least 2300 ml." ”

"I just looked around, there are only a dozen coconut trees in the vicinity, and the green coconuts on them can support so many of us for three days at most. ”

"So...... Let's overcome it first, don't rush to rest, first find a water source nearby, or a prop that can be used to collect water. ”

Qin Hailu sneered, as if to hide the panic in his eyes: "This place is deserted, what can there be?"

Then he looked at the others as if asking for everyone's opinions: "I think, it's more reliable for everyone to go up the mountain to find a water source together, you say, right?"

Pan Yueming said a little absent-mindedly: "There must be bottles on the island, pick them up and hang them on the branches, and you can collect fresh water." ”

Seeing that everyone looked at him with some surprise, Pan Yueming explained with some self-deprecation: "Now everywhere is human garbage, even this desert island will not be an exception, look carefully, there should be a mineral water bottle with the lid screwed on, or something else." ”

Xia Xiong's honest face showed hope: "Cheng, I like it!"

Subsequently, the group was divided into three groups, two groups went to the beach to look for garbage, and Guo Tao took Xia Xiong and another dragon to the mountains to find water;

..................

Pan Yueming and Wan Jing's team, in a bush of low woods near the beach, found a lot of plastic waste;

Wan Jing was a little excited, and said with some disgust: "Sure enough, there is a bottle!"

Pan Yueming smiled indifferently: "On the earth, even Mount Everest still has human garbage bags, how can there be no here?"

Wan Jing looked at him: "Brother Pan, are you an environmentalist?"

Pan Yueming shook his head: "How can I be qualified to be an environmentalist?"

Then he crouched down and picked through the garbage heap, and in a short time found seven or eight bottles, as well as a dirty shoe and a small piece of rubber.

"Well, the shoes are dirty, so let's make do with them, after all, it's easy to get hurt with bare feet. Pan Yueming threw her shoes at Wan Jing's feet.

Wan Jing's face was full of disgust: "It's so dirty...... What if I have athlete's foot?"

After hesitating for a while, he finally put the shoe carefully on his right foot: "Only one shoe?"

Pan Yueming, who was squatting, didn't look back: "Wait a minute, the other shoe will be ready soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, he handed a black thing to Wan Jing's eyes, and when he looked at it, it was indeed a small piece of rubber, but it was wrapped with vines a few times, like a slipper with very poor handiwork.

Wan Jing took the slippers and put them on her left foot, and limped two steps: "One high and one low, it's so uncomfortable to walk!"

Pan Yueming shrugged: "Let's make do with it first, and see if we can find a suitable one in the future." ”

..................

The sun gradually set in the west, Guo Tao came back a little embarrassed, and shook his head at everyone: "I haven't found a water source for the time being, and I'll continue to look for it tomorrow!"

Wan Jing and Qin Hailu carefully went up from the branch and lowered the mineral water bottle: "The water source is enough, we found sixteen mineral water bottles, enough!"

Guo Tao shook his head: "There are many places to use fresh water, and the water in these bottles is far from enough." ”

Qin Hailu snorted and whispered, "So it's mysterious!"

At this time, Sun Jian and the others came back with a bunch of small conch in both hands: "I can finally start the fire and eat meat tonight!"

In the evening, a group of people gathered around a few "hot pots" made of coconut shells, and picked up small conch shells with branches.

Sun Jian: "The taste is okay, but it's a little salty, bitter, salty, and bitter." ”

Xia Xiong: "Nonsense, boiled seawater, can it not be salty? If you can eat cooked food, you will be content!"

Qin Hailu raised the mineral water bottle in his hand: "Cheers to tonight's beach hot pot!"

Everyone laughed and raised the bottles in their hands: "Cheers!"
