Chapter 66: 127 Days on a Desert Island (3)

【Desert Island Day 4】:

Guo Tao went up the mountain to look for water, but still returned to no avail;

Qin Hailu said a little impatiently: "Don't make a mess, okay? The water is enough for the time being, there are more things to do, as soon as you leave, take the house with you, can you still build the house?"

Guo Tao's face was a little ugly, but finally nodded: "Okay, don't look for water sources tomorrow for the time being!"

Qin Hailu showed a somewhat smug smile.

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

【Desert Island Day 5】:

Guo Taohua spent half a day smashing out two flat stones with stones, and after tying them tightly to the branches with vines, the stone axe was made!

At his feet, there were more than a dozen smashed stones.

【Desert Island Day 6】:

Guo Tao taught Pan Yueming, and the two cut out 4 wooden harpoons;

At noon, Guo Tao, who was standing in the water, showed his eyes and pierced the harpoon in his hand, a small sea fish struggled on the fork, Guo Tao showed a flamboyant and proud smile.

When Qin Hailu saw it, he sneered slightly hostile and disapproving;

In the evening, a crowd gathered around the fire to grill fish, and there was another burst of laughter......

【Desert Island Day 7】:

As the stone axe in Guo Tao's hand continued to fall, an arm-thick tree fell to the ground;

Pan Yueming and Sun Jian carried the tree to the foot of the mountain, and a wooden house was about to take shape;

【Desert Island Day 12】:

4 cabins have been fully completed;

Wan Jing and Qin Hailu walked to the rocks next to the beach, picked up two palm-sized fan shells and brought them to their eyes, inside was sea salt like yellow mud,

The two of them put more than a dozen shells into their vine-made pockets and walked back to the fire.

Then carefully pour some fresh water from the bottle, and then pour the melted liquid into the coconut shell.

Coconut shells, stuffed with countless hay and soot;

Not far away, in two coconut shells, there are small semi-light yellow-brown salt grains......

【Desert Island Day 16】:

Guo Tao, who was sweating, told everyone excitedly: "A water source has been found on the mountain!"

As soon as the camera turned, somewhere on the top of the mountain, a very thin stream of water flowed down the rock wall;

Everyone showed disappointment, and Qin Hailu said even more contemptuously: "What can this little water be for?"

Guo Tao's face was angry: "You don't understand anything!"

The two glared at each other......

【Desert Island Day 18】

Together, they pulled up the wings of the plane that had run aground in the shallows, and put the word SOS on it with stones.

【Desert Island Day 29】

The people with dirty clothes lay idle in their respective rooms in a daze, looking sluggish, looking very bored, like a group of beggars;

Inside the house, two strings of dried fish hang on the wall.

Only Guo Tao patrolled the beach over and over again, and kept going to the sea to observe;

Qin Hailu saw it and snorted lightly: "The brain is vata!"

【Desert Island Day 37】

Guo Tao looked at everyone with a serious face: "We are in trouble!"

The people's expressions are still lazy,

Xia Xiong said with some silence: "What trouble can there be? Tsunami? Or tornado? Can there be more trouble now than if we are trapped on this broken island and cannot be rescued?"

Guo Tao frowned: "We may be facing the trouble of food shortage. ”

"According to my observations during this time, there are many fewer fish in the shallows than before, and there is a trend of gradual decrease;"

"It's the same with shellfish, and besides, we've been eating all the little conch sticking to the rocks and other things this time!"

Pan Yueming on the side spoke up: "It is estimated that it is caused by changes in ocean currents." ”

Guo Tao nodded in agreement.

When Qin Hailu heard this, he didn't care: "Isn't there a lot of dried fish stored in our house, which is enough for us to eat for a while." ”

Others chimed in;

Guo Tao snorted: "I have calculated, all our dried fish, even if calculated based on the minimum daily energy intake, is only enough to eat for about half a month." ”

Pan Yueming added: "According to optimistic estimates, it will be at least 40 days before we can be rescued." ”

Then the crowd became nervous;

The fat on Sun Jian's face began to tremble, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Then what should I do?"

Guo Tao said without hesitation: "From now on, we will do four things;"

"First, from today onwards, save food, gather all the dried fish, and distribute the food every day by Pan Yueming, he is a doctor, and he knows how much each person eats every day to ensure the minimum energy intake; of course, everyone's physique is different, so the amount of food distributed will be different, I hope everyone can understand. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone objected, and Qin Hailu screamed even more: "How can this be done!?

"Besides, you say that when there are fewer fish in the sea, there will be fewer fish? How do I know if it's true or not? What if you have ulterior motives to scare us?"

Xia Xiong and others echoed one after another,

Guo Tao frowned: "Then what do you say?"

Qin Hailu snorted: "What else can we do? Since those dried fish were originally distributed to us, they are our private property, how can we eat them ourselves, and we will distribute the newly found food according to the head, so it is fair, everyone says right?"

Guo Tao sneered and wanted to open his mouth, but finally endured it: "You all agree to do this?"

Except for Pan Yueming, the rest nodded.

Guo Tao exhaled fiercely: "Okay, since you have all made a decision, then do this, I hope you will not regret it in the future!"

Qin Hailu snorted coldly and ignored it.

"Second, starting tomorrow, we're going to build a small raft so that we can go deeper into the sea to fish, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to relieve some of the pressure on food. ”

"Of course, shallow water fishing can't be put down;"

"In this way, after the raft is built, except for Sun Jian, I will randomly lead 2 men to go fishing in the distance every day,"

The rest, including women, put down their other jobs and went to the shallow waters to find food. ”

Qin Hailu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally nodded.

"Thirdly, didn't we find a few cassava trees at the water source some time ago? In the days when we were building the raft, you two women went up the mountain with me, and I taught you how to grow cassava."

"Once you have learned, you go up the mountain every three days to take care of the cassava that has been planted;"

"Maybe one day, these cassava will be our lifesaver. ”

Although Qin Hailu and Wan Jing were a little reluctant, they still agreed.

"In the end, our real survival still depends on the rescue team, so, starting tomorrow, I will light a fire in the wing, and after the fire is burning, I will pour a little more water every 1 hour, and it will produce a lot of smoke, which may increase our chances of being discovered. ”

"This task is done by the people who prey on the shallows in turn. ”

Everyone nodded, no objection.

Looking at the scattered crowd, Guo Tao's eyes were a little confused, and finally sighed lightly, revealing a trace of sadness......

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

【Desert Island Day 41】

A humble little raft was parked in the shallows, surrounded by coconut shells;

Guo Tao, Pan Yueming, and Xia Xiong stepped on it tremblingly, and then used two long wooden sticks on the left and right sides to prop up on the shore, and the raft swam leisurely into the sea;

In the shallows, several people searched around, but found nothing.

Wan Jing saw a fish, excitedly stabbed it with a harpoon, and when she lifted it, the fork was empty......

In the distance, the raft stopped, and Guo Tao at the bow of the boat stabbed the harpoon into the water, and a small fish was forked up;

It was nearly dusk, and there were only four fish in the rattan baskets on the raft;

Guo Tao, who returned to the shore, looked at the people who were already waiting, Wan Jing shook his head, and raised the rattan basket beside him, there was only one fish and three or four shells in it......

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

【Desert Island Day 49】

Guo Tao and Pan Yueming on the raft each tied a rattan to their waists, glanced at each other, and then plunged into the sea;

After a while, the rattan on the raft shook twice, Xia Xiong quickly grabbed the rattan and dragged it up, Guo Tao, who was empty-handed, floated up, and after a few gasps, he dived down again;

On the other side, Pan Yueming floated up and threw the things in his hand onto the raft, but they were two shells;

In the evening, the two groups met again, and the people on the shallows had less harvest, only two shells, and a sea urchin lying alone in a rattan basket,

Xia Xiong raised the rattan basket in his hand with a little excitement, which contained more than thirty shells and a lobster.

Pan Yueming and Guo Tao glanced at each other, their brows furrowed, without any hint of excitement.

At night, Qin Hailu, who looked depressed, lay in the house, looking at the wall, and there were only 2 dried fish left;

【Desert Island Day 61】

When the two groups met, there were still two fish and twenty-seven or eight shells in the Teng frame on Guo Tao's side, but there was nothing in the rattan basket in the shallows.

Looking at everyone, Guo Tao said in a deep voice: "We must unify the preparation of food!"

Everyone nodded in silence;

In the evening, Qin Hailu licked the shells that had long been meatless in his hands over and over again, and under his feet, three clean shells were neatly stacked together;

At night, Wan Jing stared at the vine rope that had long been dried and in a daze,

In the room next to him, Qin Hailu was hunched like a shrimp, and there was a grunting sound from his stomach from time to time,

In another room, Sun Jian greedily licked the rattan rope that was originally hung with dried fish, and sniffed the smell of the remaining dried fish on the rattan rope.

In the last room, Xia Xiong cautiously looked around, quietly opened the mattress, took out a small half string of dried fish from the corner, swallowed his saliva, but just sniffed greedily on the tip of his nose, and then put it back in its place.

【Desert Island Day 70】

It was time to take care of cassava again, and Qin Hailu and Wan Jing walked listlessly to the mountain.

Looking at the cassava that already had more than a dozen scales, Qin Hailu stared at them in a daze.

Wan Jing picked a few leaves, bent them into a funnel-shaped, took water at the water source, and turned back to water cassava.

Seeing Qin Hailu in a daze, he touched her, and said weakly: "Sister Hailu, why are you in a daze?"

Qin Hailu turned his head to look at her, his eyes shining like a hungry wolf: "Xiao Jing, why don't you ...... Shall we dig a cassava and eat it?"

Wan Jing was taken aback: "Brother Guo said that these cassavas are our last hope, and we must not eat them until they are cultivated in sufficient quantities." ”

Qin Hailu stared at her: "Aren't you hungry?"

Wan Jing swallowed her saliva, and her stomach thundered: "Hungry......!"

Qin Hailu showed a hint of madness: "Yes, I'm hungry too, I'm dying of hunger!"

"Tell me, I'm about to starve to death, so why don't you care if it wants it or not!?"

"Besides, isn't this cassava a life-saving? I need it right now!"

"Just tell me honestly, are you going to eat with me!?"

Wan Jing struggled, and finally couldn't resist the craving for food, and nodded with difficulty......

The two of them dug the earth like hungry wolves with two sticks,

Eventually, a large kudzu-like stem was dug up;

Qin Hailu let out a laugh like a howl: "So many cassavas, enough for me to eat for several days!"

Wan Jing weakly reminded: "Sister Hailu, this cassava is wild, Brother Guo said, this thing is poisonous, and you need to soak it in water for a day or two before you can eat it." ”

Qin Hailu showed a look of struggle on his face, but in the end he didn't dare to take the risk, and said viciously: "Okay, let's catch the water first, peel it and soak it in it, and wait for the next time we go up the mountain, remember to bring the tinder, I want to eat it happily!"

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

【Desert Island Day 73】

Exhausted, Guo Tao, Pan Yueming and others returned to the beach, and the things in the rattan basket were a little less than the previous two days.

While eating, looking at the starving ghosts, he was surprised to find that Qin Hailu and Wan Jing were a little absent-minded;

He asked with some concern, "What's the matter?" Qin Hailu and Wan Jing, are you two uncomfortable?"

Qin Hailu raised his head, his eyes were a little evasive, and when he was about to speak, he burped "uh".

Guo Tao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and asked viciously, "Did you eat cassava?"

Qin Hailu turned his head a little frightened at first, and then stared at him instead: "What's the matter!?Isn't this cassava just for eating? You can't get food yourself, and you don't allow me to eat cassava!?"

Guo Tao's forehead was bruised, his eyes showed a fierce light like a hungry wolf, and he rushed up with an arrow step, gave Qin Hailu a slap in the face, and directly knocked her to the ground.

Then he turned around and stared at Wan Jing: "How much did you eat?"

Wan Jing was about to cry out in fear, and stretched out a finger: "One ...... One. ”

Guo Tao first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Which one, is it the female parent or the plant?"

Wan Jing replied in a trembling voice: "Yes...... It is the female parent. ”

Guo Tao was furious, slapped Wan Jing to the ground again, and said to the two:

"Did I tell you that these cassava are our last guarantee and hope!?"

"Did you know that as long as we hold on for another 20 days, these cassavas will be able to grow a new batch of cassava, so that we can eat one wave and plant another wave until we can eat enough. ”

"And you ...... Did you know that you've eaten the most important female parent now, and that this will slow down the cultivation of cassava by half!?"

Speaking of this, Guo Tao's eyes were even more murderous: "I warn the two of you for the last time, including everyone here, who dares to let me find out that someone is stealing cassava before I give an order, cutting off our back road......"

Guo Tao looked around and said word by word: "I will really kill people!"

After saying that, he shook off and left......

Qin Hailu covered his face, looked at Guo Tao's back, and spat hatefully.

And Xia Xiong and the two dragon sets and others hung their heads silently, but an inexplicable light burst out in their eyes......
