Chapter Eighty-Six: Catching a Big Lobster
I......
This seems to be really my problem, and I'm still vacillating between her and Kexin, so it's not that she doesn't want to make a promise, but I'm looking ahead and backward, breaking the corn cob and staring at the watermelon, eating the pot and looking at the bowl.
Belch...... That doesn't seem to be the right description...... I'm not that greedy, I just have a choice problem.
The boat sailed to a sandy beach - a very large beach, as far as the eye could see, and there was no forest or trees in sight, but it was a semi-salinized barren beach.
The sun is slanting to the west!
I asked Su Wu to check the time, and it turned out that it was almost six o'clock in the evening.
I said, "No, let's go ashore quickly, or you won't be able to eat dinner." ”
Su Wu said: "Don't you look for a better camp, you said that this kind of place is not easy to spend the night." ”
I looked up at her, "Did I tell you? Isn't it you, this part of the journey, there is only this kind of barren beach, you can't see the edge at a glance, even if you go to the dark, you can't find a better one." We have no food, we don't get food from the shore in the morning, and we have to go hungry at night. ”
Speaking of eating, Su Wu was hungrier than me, and as soon as I mentioned it, she touched her uncompetitive belly: "Yes, my stomach has been protesting for a long time." ”
I said, "Yes, why didn't I hear that?" and put my ear to her stomach and said, "Let me hear if it's true!"
"Don't listen!" Su Wu smiled and blocked my head.
I carried my things ashore, chose a suitable place for camping, and disposed of the garbage casually, so I lit a fire, and then assigned Su Wu to get some hay to make firewood.
Although this semi-salinized sand soil does not grow into trees, there are still a lot of things like thatch.
I found a relatively dry grass and drove it away for a while to make sure there were no snakes and rats hiding in it, and then let Su Wu use a knife to cut it. I don't want Su Wu to repeat the mistakes of Tian Xia Xia on that day, otherwise I will really be bitten by something, and I can't find medicine for her in this place.
As for me, of course, there is a more important task, which is to find food.
If it's dark, you'll have to be blind, and I'm afraid you won't be able to find a piece of the stone to eat.
I first gave up on the idea of looking for food on the beach, a place where plants and plants don't want to grow here, and it's strange that you can find animals to eat. Of course, it is not absolutely nothing, but it is very rare, and it may not be possible to find it with a lot of effort.
Compared to the shore shri is a good place of abundance.
Conch, seaweed, seaweed, seafish, no shortage of seafood.
I picked up some limpets on the rocks on the coast, this thing is very delicious, whether it is to make soup or simmer, but unfortunately the amount is not much, and the size is small, not enough for two people's dinner, this coast is a bit salty, so snails and shellfish are not very willing to come up.
The reason for salinization is that there are no rivers and no forests, and it is estimated that the beach is still relatively low, and it can be flooded at high tide, so it becomes so barren. It's a vicious circle, and the less forests grow, the more salinity will become, and the more lifeless it will be.
I searched along the coast, but I didn't find many limpets, so I didn't have much interest, so I decided to go to sea.
I took a handful of limpets back to the camp, said hello to Su Wu, and sailed out.
I didn't go to the deep sea, I just cruised in the shallow water. I first threw two hooks into the water and tied the ends to the lifeboats.
Then I started to get my other gear in order.
I'm going to dive and go down to the bottom of the sea to see if there's anything good.
While the sun is still there, there is enough light under the water for me to see.
I have an old dried bamboo in my hand, which I cut down when I was looking for bamboo to weave a bamboo basket a few days ago, and one end of this bamboo was processed by me, just enough to be embedded in the handle. Then the bamboo pole with a knife makes a good javelin, and I have hunted with it, and the day before yesterday, I threw a shuttle into the neck of a wild fox, and I pierced it and killed me on the spot. However, this thing may not be useful against large wild animals with thick skin, and it may not be able to penetrate it. Find a wild boar another day and try it.
I embed the dagger, of course, because I decided to take this homemade javelin and go to the bottom of the sea to insert something, as long as I can eat, I will not be picky, I can fork anything.
I took a deep breath, plunged into the water, and dived.
The water level is three or four meters deep, and the bright light illuminates the entire underwater environment.
I have a good water base and a good lung capacity, which I trained in the army. There, diving is also a compulsory subject. I have suffered a lot for this. I dived through a stagnant lake, and I dived into a sewage river, and when I plunged into it, I came out, and even I was nauseous and vomited...... That's not a good memory.
Diving in the sea is a little more difficult than diving in the river, because the buoyancy is high, and if you don't push hard, people will float up, so it takes effort.
I had a harpoon in my hand...... No, it should be called a javelin...... No, whatever it's called.
I held my harpoon and kept turning the mud under the water to see if I could get something out.
In such shallow waters, I'm not very worried about any big sharks – not absolutely, of course.
The danger mainly comes from a thing called a jellyfish, which is also called a jellyfish, which is not as simple as a poisonous snake, and if it is stung, it can also kill people. Therefore, before entering the water, I also took good precautions and entangled my hands and feet in the exposed places, trying not to let these things get entangled.
In addition, there is another thing that scares me psychologically, that is, the kind of big man-eating tarpon that I met with Su Wu that day, if I meet this kind of guy in the water, then I will be dead, God forbid, don't let these ghost things appear. Otherwise, I, a man who pulls the wind, will have to become a ghost who pulls the wind.
The first time it didn't work, I didn't poke anything out of the mud. After coming out of the water, he changed his breath and dived again.
In a large rock crevice in a river pebble field, I seemed to have found something.
What a big pair of tentacles!
My gut tells me that it's a good thing and that I should recognize it!
I poked my harpoon in and fished it out.
Suddenly, a big thing popped out and almost hit me in the face.
Damn! It's a big colorful lobster, its head is as thick as my arm, and it looks like it weighs no less than five or six pounds!
The two pairs of chelate pliers, like two large scissors for opening the cloth, made me feel a sudden shock.
But don't clamp it, or I'll break my fingers!
But this thing is also afraid of me, and when it bounces in my face, I realize that something is wrong, Mom, I have gone the wrong way!
Then he hurriedly bounced it backwards and bounced it back.
This thing is good at running backwards when it encounters danger!
