Day 126, Preparation I
When I opened my eyes, my eyes were black by a ray of sunlight from the wooden house, but soon my eyes adjusted to the brightness, and I turned my face to see that Midacom was no longer there.
In order to get out of here as soon as possible, both of us have been doing our best lately, and he should be busy again, and the recent continuous busyness has made my body a little overdrawn. Making a raft is not an easy job at all, and my hands, arms, and chest muscles and back muscles are all sore.
The physical discomfort made the lazy mentality start to appear, and I originally wanted to rest for a while, but it had been so long anyway, even if I waited a few more days?
I have to say that people's mentality is always fickle, and others are not easy to say, at least that's what I think. You know, yesterday I was eager to complete the preparation as soon as possible, but after I was tired, I immediately changed my mind......
"Get up, get it done early, get it early, and get going!" he said, getting up. At this moment, I was encouraged by my words, and began to miss my hometown eagerly.
I thought that Midacom would tidy up or tie up water bottles in the yard, but I turned around a lot and even yelled a few times, but I didn't see him. "This guy might have gone pick up something. "I guessed to myself.
Today's sun is still very good, and the raft that was tied up yesterday is just right to be dragged out into the sun. However, I seem to be overestimating myself, because it is a raft made of fresh wood, so this raft is very heavy, and it is completely difficult for a person to drag it on such uneven ground.
The buoyancy of the wood filled with water is not so great, so it is imperative to dry it, we only have this chance, there is no second chance at all, plus this day is beautiful, the weather is also good, we must find a way to drag this raft out to bask in the sun.
As long as the weather is like this for a few days, you don't need to wait too long to set off soon, if you don't seize the opportunity, once you encounter continuous rain, then this raft has no possibility of drying at all, and I don't know how long this delay will last.
I thought of a lot of ways, but in the end I thought of a feasible way, using the method of padding, and after trying, it is still possible. The operation is also very simple, that is, find a tree trunk, lift the raft, put these round trunks under the raft little by little, and then slowly drag, so that it will not be the same as at the beginning, the card owner can not pull the situation. Instead, it doesn't take a lot of effort to drag the raft.
After a total of several hundred meters, with only one break in between, it was not that I was tired, but that I was tired from repeatedly laying wood, and at this moment I was sitting on the sidelines, watching the raft that was bathed in the sun and was about to set off with us.
I had just sat down for ten minutes, and the surface of the trunk on the raft, which had been somewhat wet, was visibly dry.
Maybe under such sunshine, stay for three days, this raft can be used, although it cannot be expected to be able to withstand the wind and waves, but I hope that it can be stable, so that we have more chances of survival.
It's close to noon, and Midakon hasn't come back yet, is this guy going to the beach to pick up bottles? After finishing this raft, the most important thing in my hands is also completed.
Bottles are really important, including floats, it seems that I have to hurry up and go to the beach for a walk, if I can find more tarps or floats and bottles, it is the most perfect, if we are lucky, discarded plastic bags, glass bottles, etc. are the best carriers for our food.
In case Midacom can find a lot of good things and can't take them, I can still help him. After finding something to eat, a few bites, and a few bottles of water tied around my waist, I set off. On a hot day like this, water is a must.
Since the last time I had a heat stroke, I was very afraid that I would suffer from heat stroke again, so I would replenish my water in advance without waiting for my body's prompts. The wind on the seashore is strong, the sun is scorching and poisonous, and the water in the human body is several times faster than in the woods.
I don't know if this guy Midacom has brought enough water, forget it, just bring a few more bottles. I was about to go, but I turned around and filled three bottles of water, which hung on my waist along with the previous water bottles.
These days are really suitable for departure, the wind on the beach is there, but not particularly strong, so the waves are okay in comparison, if the wind is stronger, our boat may not be able to wash away the waves, it is likely to be washed back to the shore by the big waves.
Today seems to be not very lucky, I have walked no less than three hundred meters on the beach, but so far I have found nothing, many of the waves are garbage plastic bags, the kind that will shatter when touched, just now I saw a black thing, I went to grab a handful and scooped it up and looked at it, the result was actually a baby diaper, I always thought that this thing would sink to the bottom after absorbing water, but I didn't expect to float here.
There was not a single thing usable in the big piece of garbage on the table, especially the rotten foam box, which was broken into small pieces, many of which had broken down into foam beads, and before I came in to rummage through it, I saw a large group of seabirds rummaging through the garbage, and I wondered if they would take these little foam beads for food.
But one thing is for sure, once they swallow enough foam beads, the foam beads that occupy their stomachs and cannot be broken down and eliminated will definitely kill them. This thought also flashed, after all, they still have room to choose food, and they still have freedom. And I myself can only be imprisoned on this small island that has taken many lives.
For the whole afternoon, I stopped and rummaged, and found only eight bottles and six floats, which were much less than I expected at the beginning, but they were still rewarding, but I didn't see Midacan along the way, and I didn't know where he went, but I think I should be able to meet him when I go back at this time.
Maybe he's going in a different direction than I am, maybe he's getting more out of it than I do, and it won't be long before it's getting dark, and I'm going to have to go home soon. Recently, I've noticed that the life here is much stronger than it used to be.
In the past, there weren't many seabirds here, and there was only a large number of birds in the woods on the other side, but recently, there are many species of birds that I have never seen since I came here, and they are all appearing in flocks, which is amazing.
……
"Midacom hasn't come back yet?" After getting dark, I went back to the treehouse and searched for it, and my whole heart began to tense.
