One hundred and one day, the security of the shelter
I finally saw the culprit last night, and although I didn't catch it, at least the doubts that had been hanging in my heart were solved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Despite this, although everyone has seen the high intelligence of the honey badger with their own eyes, this discovery has given us a hint of alarm in our hearts! You know, our treehouse and yard have been preliminarily completed, and there is nothing particularly important to do except for the renovation of my treehouse later.
Of course, all that remains is to stock up and develop food, and food and shelter are the most important things for us to survive. But the safety of this yard was doubted by all of us!
In addition, I just encountered a crocodile a few days ago, and there are crocodiles in the vicinity, so if the security of the shelter is not strengthened as soon as possible, then no one can feel safe. I actually have several perfect plans in my head, but none of them can be accomplished in a short period of time.
The first is to make bricks, and the bricks and clay make a wall, which must be much stronger than the current wall. The second is to use the trunk of the tree to drive piles, two book piles in each position, and then use the trunk to get stuck in the pile, one by one lying horizontally and stacking them, this kind of wall is also very strong. Usually crocodiles or wild boars will not hit these walls, let alone be interested in them. And crocodiles are the same.
But the problem is that both of these methods will take too much time, the first one is more difficult, after all, the experiment has not even begun, and the second one requires a lot of trunks, and I calculated that at least a hundred or so more trees will be needed, which is too much, and even if we can cut them down, it will take too long to put them in place.
In Brother Qian's words, our food reserves are not very large, and now the daily food consumption is still very large, you must know that it has been sunny for a long time recently, and once it rains or it rains for several days in a row, it will be more troublesome.
After they came, several bags of rice had already been consumed, and this small bag was eaten quickly, even if it was porridge. After all, there are not only five people now, but also Xiao Hei...... Although Ying Yuefeng was gone, the consumption of food did not decrease much at all. If you don't stock up as soon as possible, you will only have to consume the stored food faster in extreme weather.
But before that, we need to solve the security problem first, the two plans just mentioned may be done in the future, but now it is definitely not, we have chosen a more convenient and fast way to do the transition.
First of all, we made warning traps outside the yard and on the edge of the woods facing the deep pits, where the vines hung all kinds of bottles and cans, and filled them with small pebbles, which would make a noise whenever something touched it.
Of course, this is only the first step, which can serve as an early warning, and then there are various traps. I have to say that the saying that there is strength in numbers is not wrong at all, and everyone has a different understanding and approach to traps.
The five of us started to make traps at the same time very quickly, and it only took us one morning to make dozens of traps, large and small, and we pressed the traps around the whole yard, and the distance between each trap was less than twenty centimeters. Whether large or small, animals are close to the perimeter of the yard and will always run into traps. Even if you can't catch your prey, you can at least scare the animals away.
The edge of the woods is the main place where we place our key traps, and there are often wild boars, honey badgers and other animals, and even crocodiles.
You must know that the woods near our yard are in a low-lying area, and when it rains, the woods will become an ocean, and it will not recede for a few days, and if it rains heavily for several days, it is very likely to attract crocodiles.
So outside the woods, Brother Qian made several lasso traps out of small trees, and his lasso was completely different from mine, which was to bend the small tree down and then tie it with thick vines, and once you stepped into this lasso, it would be bounced up by the small tree and hung in mid-air. With the elasticity of this calf-thick tree, a wild boar of about 100 catties should be free of pressure to be lifted.
And Ye Qingchen thought of a more desperate method, directly tied a few vines between the two big trees on the path infested by wild boars in the woods, and put several huge stones on the vines, a little touch the vines on the ground, the vines between the big trees will shake, and then the stones will fall, and once they are hit by these stones, they will be seriously injured if they don't die. Of course, the premise is to be smashed......
Of course, Midacom and One-and-a-Half have also done their traps, and this time we didn't discuss and analyze whose traps are better and more suitable here. It's all the eight immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers, and we are ready to let the results verify whose trap is better......
In addition, in order to prevent the appearance of wild boars or crocodiles in groups, once they break through the trap, they will rush to the yard, we also cut the branches that were seen from the small trees into sharp shapes, and all the sharp branches are facing the outside, under the dense spikes, although they may not be able to stop the crocodiles, but even wild boars will have some concerns.
After all this, we began to work hard to collect food, this time I did not let go of the fresh coconuts in the coconut grove, one and a half is very familiar with the practice of coconuts, he told us that as long as there are a few coconut meat, we can make coconut meat glutinous rice cakes for us...... Although none of us have ever eaten this thing, it is said to be a local delicacy in Hainan. Of course, the trouble is to graze the coconut meat, but this is not a problem.
In addition, Brother Qian said that coconut meat can be roasted by the fire and dried, and can also be used as a spare dry food, which is a rare food under special circumstances. In addition, according to Ye Qingchen, coconut water can also be used to make wine...... When he said this, Brother Qian and one and a half immediately stopped what they were doing, and looked at him like him! But Ye Qingchen's next words made them both very speechless......
Because Ye Qingchen said that he had only heard of it, and the specific process was not very clear, but we could try it, but it seemed that the brewing time would be relatively long, and his memory seemed to be calculated by years......
It was obvious to see Brother Qian and a little bit of disappointment on his face, and even I saw Brother Qian clenching his fists, and he was about to burst out......
"Forget it, early in the morning, let's not say much about this kind of ignorance, this kind of thing is not just trying, if you want to make wine in this kind of place, without any reference, the number of failures is likely to make you despair, it is likely that you will not succeed in trying for several years. "I immediately said to Ye Qingchen, I have no interest in this kind of attempt that is not practical and doesn't even have any understanding, and I don't think anyone else will be interested either!
After collecting some coconuts, everyone is ready to go their separate ways again, after all, the efficiency is the highest after separation. It's also to get more food in the shortest possible time, and if there are crocodiles, even if more of us are together, it's not of much use.
Now there are only five people left, and they can only be divided into two teams, Ye Qingchen chose to go with Brother Qian to find some wild vegetables they had eaten before, these wild vegetables can be fried and eaten, or they can be boiled in soup, and they can also be dried in the back. It can not only supplement nutrition, but also change the taste......
Midakang and One-and-a-half agreed to follow me to the mangrove forest, where I had previously fished nets, to see if I could get some more seafood. I've been to that place several times, but I haven't seen a crocodile, and even if there is a crocodile, the problem shouldn't be very big, because the sea over there is very clear, and the visibility is several meters, as long as we observe well, there should be no problems.
The biggest threat range is those sharks that may appear at any time, you must know that although these sharks do not look very big, the largest is only about a meter, but they still have some attack power, and the sharp teeth are still very intimidating.
In order to prevent them from being unclear about the situation after going there, I told them all these precautions in advance, but one and a half was not afraid, he was very excited, and happily discussed the price and taste of dried shark fin in civilized society with Midacon, and the two of them were still guessing the taste of fresh shark fin...... It's like it's at your fingertips.
Halfway through, we also passed by the hive that had been destroyed by Mother Lightning, and it took nearly ten minutes to find out what was going on with the hive. Overall, the bee colony is still much faster than I thought, first of all, although there are not as many bees at the entrance of the cave as at the beginning, it is several times more than the last time it was destroyed.
In addition, the beehives that have been destroyed in the dead wood have not only been repaired, but also expanded a lot, especially the location of the hole, which has also become a dense beehive! It seems that it will not be long before they can come and harvest again.
"Brother Luo, do you know this place, we can cut honey!!" At half past one, I saw that the familiar people came to this hive, and thought that I had brought them here to cut honey.
"Brother Zhao, no, this hive was cut off by me not long ago, and it hasn't recovered recently, it should be okay to wait for a while, don't worry, I'm just going to see the situation inside the hive first." Of course, next time it's time, if you're interested, I'll definitely bring you over to cut. He answered the question very seriously, and he quickly nodded to make it clear, and didn't say anything more, and Midakon also nodded. Recently, the two of them have been on good terms with me.
Soon, we came to the edge of the mangrove forest, and the fishing net we made last time was still on the beach, although it had been a long time, but because I had left the fishing net with a lot of stones, the net was not washed away. We also brought a few fishing nets with us this time, because we were afraid that the nets would be washed away by the sea.
However, due to the relatively long time, this fishing net has been very dirty, and it has been in the wind and rain for so long, I am also a little unsure whether this fishing net can still be used, but I tried to pull the mesh a few times, but it is still very strong, but I was very surprised.
Seeing that the nets were still very good, the two of them were a little eager to go and lower the nets, as I said before coming here, the visibility of the sea here is very good, and the countless fish coming and going in the sea water are very clear to both of them, and this visual attraction is of course unparalleled, just like when I first came here and saw it.
However, after the crocodile attack, I was still a little worried, so I stopped the two of them and told them that they had to spend five minutes watching and wait until they were sure that there was no danger, after all, those damn crocodiles were masters of sneak attacks, and if these murderous hunters were hiding at the base of the tree, it would be difficult to spot. And a little bit of their sneak attack, with the speed of human reactions, it is difficult to escape from their attack, let alone in thigh-deep water.
And the last time I came, there were a lot of seabirds, this time there are a lot of them, and it's actually a good thing for me to have more seabirds, as long as there is any wind and grass, the seabirds will also scream and fly up, but for some reason, now these seabirds are only three or three.
After some observation, none of the three of us noticed any danger, not even the sharks that often appeared. Originally, I was going to go into the water alone at half past one, but Midakang and I were not very relieved, and in the end we each cut a small tree as a weapon and went to release the net together.
If there were sharks coming, there should be no problem with me and Midacan on the side. There are a lot of fish on the edge of the roots, and there are a lot of shrimp and crabs, so this time the net was placed on the edge of the roots.
After putting the fishing nets away, because I didn't see any danger, Midakang and One-and-a-half picked up the shells together, there are many clam-like shellfish in this vicinity, but they are bigger than clams, I also picked them up last time, and the soup tastes very delicious.
Just as they were able to pick up their strength, a fin appeared not far away, and it was swimming towards this direction quickly, and soon the second and third ...... Five sharks appeared in the blink of an eye, all about a meter, maybe they spotted us!
"Let's go, the sharks are coming!" I told them, but I wasn't nervous looking at them. A smile appeared on his face at one and a half, and so did Midacon! Do these two guys really want to get a shark to be satisfied?
But then they started to retreat with me, but very slowly, and it was clear to me that they wouldn't give up without catching a shark.
The shark in front was only about two meters away from us, and it was still circling in circles, as if it was still trying, but the sharks that rushed over nearby seemed to have a stimulating effect on it, and suddenly rushed around it!
You must know that this time the three of us have already prepared, and the sharpened trunk in our hands is raised high, waiting for it to come. There was only a distance of less than a meter, and the weapons in our hands pierced down almost at the same time.
Perhaps sensing the danger through the change in light underwater, the shark flicked its tail and quickly tried to change direction! But it was too late! Midacon's branch thrust through its back and pierced its belly...... This time, it almost killed the shark, and it writhed wildly, and I almost broke free from it. But fortunately, it was held down by a little half.
The sound of blood and splashing stimulated the other four sharks, who swam faster, but the strong sense of danger made them afraid to approach immediately, and they should still want to try. But we're not going to give them a chance.
Mi Dakang and Ye Qingchen grabbed the trunk of the tree and lifted the shark about one meter directly out of the water, ready to walk to the shore. I broke off behind the two of them.
Just as I turned my head and was about to walk towards the shore, a dead log appeared in the afterglow!
At this glance, I broke out in a cold sweat! I quickly looked back! Less than ten meters away, it was approaching!
"Run!"
