Day 106, Exploring the Island (4)
Yesterday, it was not easy for us, not only dangerous, but also particularly difficult. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The situation is more or less like this!
It took us a long time to walk through the place where there were crocodiles, although most of the crocodiles were chased away by the rocks we threw at them. But there were some exceptions, and even one even rushed over.
Fortunately, there were a lot of rocks on the ground, and it only retreated after being hit a few times by us with large stones. Since we are all moving forward cautiously, a lot of time is wasted. Just walking through this place, it's already afternoon.
You know, the midday sun is very hot, and we travel through this place at this time, so you can imagine how difficult it is. But there is no way, we dare not drag it out. No one knows how many crocodiles will be waiting for us in front of us, and how many of these crocodiles there are.
We were here to explore, and it was impossible to go back to the treehouse at night, and before all the nights, we had to find a safe shelter where we could spend the night safely.
According to my estimates, it may take more than three days to complete the speed of the entire island, but I didn't expect to meet so many crocodiles in this place not long after I set off.
This made them say that some people had a strong sense of crisis, and Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen even wanted to go back directly, but Mi Dakang did not speak, and looked a little hesitant at one and a half.
No one doesn't cherish life, and neither do I! But if you don't explore so many places, it has a very bad side to survival or escape. If anything can be discovered, it will be helpful for us.
However, one and a half finally withstood it, and Midakang was unexpectedly on my side! We gained the right to speak by a narrow margin of three to two. I certainly decided to move on.
After passing through the crocodile habitat, we have not been able to find a suitable place to spend the night, the sunset has already appeared, and the night will be very dangerous if we do not find a place to spend the night as soon as possible.
We kept going, and when the sun went down and the sky was just starting to get dark, we finally found a good place. It's a reef area, much higher than the next one, and it took a lot of effort for us to climb up.
There was no flat place on the reef at all, so everyone could only find a relatively flat place and sit down. Today everyone is already very tired, and once they sit down, they don't have the strength to get up again.
It wasn't until the next moment that it was about to get dark, and everyone thought that the firewood for lighting the fire had not yet been prepared! It was unimaginable that there would be no fire at night! Not only were there many mosquitoes, but all kinds of threatening snakes and small animals would also be infested, and without fire they would not be able to drive them away, and not only would they be dangerous, but would also bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Ye Qingchen brought the materials for drilling wood for fire, and he had to rely on him to start the fire, so the matter of picking up firewood was done by a few of us. Brother Qian originally wanted to go, but I asked him to take a look at the environment on this reef first, and observe the surroundings to see if there would be any hidden dangers.
Midakang and I jumped off the reef at one and a half points, and there was a lot of useful firewood on the beach, all kinds of planks washed up by the tide, fishing nets, etc., which were good materials for the fire.
I also knew that I could get more branches and dead grass at the edge of the woods, but to be honest, I didn't dare to go over, and Midakon and a half won't go over, it's not that we're cowardly, but we've already encountered it during the day, and these huge beasts are the best at ambushing.
If the crocodile in ambush suddenly strikes, it will be difficult to dodge in our situation, and the survival rate is almost zero. We don't think there's any point in risking going to the edge of the woods when there are alternatives.
There was a lot of firewood on the beach and it didn't take us much time to collect a whole bunch of firewood, which was more than enough for us to spend the night. Our luck was not bad, we didn't encounter any danger during the pickup, except for a few crabs crawling over and being caught by us, there was no animal shadow.
By the time we returned to the reef, Brother Qian and the others had already helped us lay out the straw mats, which were all made at one and a half o'clock, and it was still very easy to come out and carry a mat. You know, when you sleep in this weather, if you lie directly on the ground, it is easy to catch a cold, but after being separated by a straw mat, it will be much better.
Ye Qingchen was already very experienced in lighting the fire, and it only took less than ten minutes to light the fire, which was also because he had already brought everything with the fire velvet that led the fire, so it would be so fast. If you don't bring anything, you may not be able to make a fire for an hour.
It was already completely dark, and in the flickering firelight, everyone began to eat dry food, and today we didn't take the time to catch any food, only two small crabs were not enough to divide at all, and I was not interested. On the contrary, Midakang was very appetizing, and he and one by one roasted the two little crabs and ate them with relish.
I have to say that although these cakes made by Ye Qingchen don't taste very good, they are very hungry, and they are already very full after eating them, but they drink a bottle of water. We didn't have a lot of water with us, so we had to take the time to find some traveler's bananas and get some drinking water.
In order to be able to recover as soon as possible, everyone began to sleep, of course, I was still keeping vigil, and in order to ensure the safety of the night, we stipulated that everyone took turns to keep vigil for about an hour, so that those who fell asleep did not have to worry.
Within a few minutes, the snoring started one after another, to be honest, I was more suspicious of Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen, their performance was very abnormal, although I don't know why they became like this, but I can faintly feel that the two of them must have a secret hiding from us. That's for sure, but I don't know exactly what it is, but I think it might have something to do with our exploration.
The reason why I think so is not groundless, but Brother Qian, their recent speech and behavior are particularly abnormal, and the people who survive on the island will not be stupid people, I don't know if Midakang and a little bit feel it, but I have already begun to be sure.
First of all, Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen have been trying to make us give up the plan to explore the whole island, I just have a little doubt about this, but I won't have other ideas, after all, from Brother Qian's point of view, it is not wrong to consider everyone's safety.
But he was so anxious that I was suspicious! This exploration of the whole island, there is danger, it is certain, and I know very well. However, the only reason he stopped me was for everyone's safety, you know, we had already talked about this plan when we discussed it before, but he didn't directly refuse it in person, let alone give a reason.
They're looking for me alone, which is a bit abnormal, do you not want Midakon to know a little bit, or are you trying to provoke a relationship between me and Midakon? I don't know very well about this.
You know, I have been in contact with Brother Qian for a while, and although he looks a little rough, but after a period of contact, I found that he is a very careful person, and he is not so timid!
You know, there are only a few of us left on the island now, and there are only five of us! In my opinion, five people are very few people who want to get out of here! The chances of success are much smaller. Our team can't afford any attrition.
Because of this, I also paid more attention to Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen along the way, if there was something to hide or have any problems, sooner or later they would be exposed. Of course, on the surface, I pretended not to know anything, so I still let Brother Qian make the decision.
When we left the crocodile gathering place in the afternoon, we could have walked through an open forest and bypassed the reef pit in front of us, knowing that we always had to go to see the open place, but Brother Qian refused our suggestion to go from that side, and even my suggestion to go there first was not allowed.
In order to verify my guess, when passing by another open field, I suggested it again, but Brother Qian still refused, which verified my idea. Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen must have some secret, and it is likely to be somewhere.
They didn't want us to know, so they didn't want us to run around so they wouldn't find out his secret. As to why we were prevented from entering these open woods, it may have been to get us accustomed to his commands first, lest we not listen to him later when we go to their secret places.
I knew very well that things could not have been so coincidental, and that there were absolutely no secrets in the two open fields that we were passing by, after all, we could already see the contents clearly when we stood at the edge of the woods.
I really don't know what secrets they have, and now I'm quite embarrassed, and we can't communicate together, if I talk to one and a half, if he tells Brother Qian, it will be a trouble, and he may be directly excluded from the team.
But it's annoying to say it, and I'm going to take the time to communicate with Midacan to see if he can also provide some clues, he is more credible than a little half.
Thinking about it, the time flew by, the moon had already risen, and I knew very well that it was time for a change of people after at least two hours of vigil. I woke up after half a beat, and then I fell asleep.
……
Because there was a vigil, I was sleeping in the wilderness, but the water was still very fragrant all night. Maybe I slept late, so the snoring was louder, Midacom said that he pushed me several times last night, but he was so noisy by my snoring that he couldn't sleep, and woke up several times, so he had to do it.
Of course, I just laughed, and I didn't blame him at all! He pushed me, and I didn't feel anything at all. The fatigue of the day and the vigil were already too sleepy. Not even dreaming, this has happened before, but only with overwork.
And last night was quite peaceful, there were no wild beasts coming at all, and there were very few small animals that came close, but there were quite a lot of bugs. But we've all been in this place for so long, and we're somewhat immune to these bugs. Compared to poisonous snakes, wild boars, and crocodiles, these bugs are not a threat at all.
When I sat up and stretched, I suddenly found that Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen were gone, and at half past one, they collected our empty bottles and went to find the traveler's banana to fill water, and the place they went was the open place in the woods that I suggested to explore yesterday.
I shook my head, and at the same time I saw Mitakon look at me, then smile at me, and then turn my head to look at the forest where Brother Qian and they were looking for water.
I wasn't sure for sure, but he looked at me when he saw me shake his head, and when he finally smiled at me, he looked at the woods, and maybe it was a hint, and it seemed that he would have a talk to him if he had time.
Although this person is not bad, I always feel that he is not so reliable, and maybe the word sincerity would be more appropriate to describe one and a half. But it's a complicated matter, and even if I talk to him, he probably doesn't have any useful advice.
But Midacan is different, this person is very calm, very measured, although he has always had a bad temper before, but since the last time he confided in me, he has been much better. I think it might be better to talk to him and see what he thinks.
Now it's a group activity, and it's impossible for me to talk to Midakang alone, which will attract the attention of Brother Qian and them, and in the end, if the matter is not clarified, it will startle the snake.
I've always had some concerns in my heart, whether this is caused by my own suspicion, if I finally find out that in fact, Brother Qian and they don't have any ideas, and all the analysis is my hysteria, it will be funny.
But no matter what, I will pay close attention to it recently, and after that, I am ready to arrange Mi Dakang or one and a half to act with Brother Qian, and I am ready to drag Ye Qingchen. So if there is any secret, they have no way to hide it.
Recently, I always feel that there are more and more things, and when I have explored this island, I am ready to start building ships with Midakang at a little and a half. Just now, I told the two of them about my plan, and of course they were very sure.
But the preparation has to be done in the same way! You know, it's easier to make a canoe, but what we need to do is a boat that can move on the sea! There is food and dry food! And the sails are all problems!
Of course, both of them have already decided, and it is a long process. But I have repeatedly stressed that once the construction starts, we must not retreat!
Hearing this, they were indeed a little worried, but in the end they were all relieved...... After all, this is probably the first, and probably the last!
"The water is good, we're back!" Ye Qingchen smiled and hugged a bunch of water bottles and rushed over!
