Day 61, New Problems and New Discoveries (Part I)
I found out I was wrong, outrageously wrong!
If it weren't for Blackie's screaming last night, he might not have noticed it by now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are rats here!
Yes, I've never encountered such a filthy creature in a long time!, so I always thought it couldn't and wouldn't be here.
As a result, it was estimated that it wanted to steal food yesterday, or maybe it was discovered by Xiao Hei when it was passing by.
At the sound of the little black, I fumbled for the flashlight at the bedside, and when I swept the flashlight over, I saw it, a long tail, and most of its body had already peeked out of the crack in the door.
With this tail alone, I can be sure that this must be a mouse!
I immediately jumped up from the ground, of course, not to chase the mouse, it had long since lost its shadow, and Xiao Hei stood in the doorway and stared outside, probably regretting that he had not caught it. I wanted to see if any of my important leftovers had been stolen.
You know, these foods are limited, eat a little less, and even every time I eat it, I can't eat it anymore, and I feel sad.
Fortunately, perhaps because Xiao Hei found it early, he took the light of the flashlight and carefully checked the grain several times, and did not find any traces of being stolen and eaten.
It's a false alarm.
After that, I had a nightmare, and I dreamed that this mouse came back with a bunch of rats, and when I opened the grain, countless rats sprang out from the bag and under the bag, and of course I woke up at last.
It was another night with poor sleep quality, and every time I didn't sleep well, my body would feel very tired, and I could feel some swelling around my eyes, maybe bags or dark circles under my eyes......
I have to think of a way to prevent rats as soon as possible, I really don't want my food to become their food, and the tail of the mouse just now is almost twenty centimeters long, if it is converted according to the proportion, this mouse must be more than half a catty, or even a catty is possible, shuddering!
In this kind of place, for these rats, there will be no shortage of food, otherwise my food is estimated to have long been unable to escape their clutches, if this mouse passes by, I am afraid that it will still be remembered, which will be a bad thing.
ā¦ā¦
The rain had stopped, and I stood at the door and saw some big birds in the sky, maybe it was an eagle, and I saw one of them gliding down quickly, and it didn't take long for it to fly again, and it seemed to have caught something under its talons, too far away to see clearly.
One by one, they swooped down, flew up, and then flew away, and they couldn't tell if they were catching a rabbit or a mouse, or a snake.
In the past few days, I have not eaten very regularly, which has caused my stomach to be a little too comfortable, and when I first got up, I was still belching, and some unspeakably uncomfortable. No matter what, you have to fill your stomach first, the juicy fruits and the wild fruits from last time are running out, and the time has been a little long, and their skins are a little shriveled and wrinkled.
I picked up a fruit and took a bite, well, the juice was not as much as before, and the original crisp texture became a little sandy, but at least it was still edible.
The bananas on the side were still green, without any signs of yellowing, these banana-sized bananas left a shadow on me, I really didn't want to taste them, but after piling them up there for a long time, I was afraid that it would be bad, so I still pulled one down.
"Let's try again!" I tried my best to convince myself, the banana meat smelled quite fragrant, the smell was lighter than the ones I had eaten, and this time I didn't dare to bite too much, so I took a small bite.
"Huh?" The taste was beyond my expectations, not very astringent, but with a hint of sweetness, but there were a lot of brown seeds in the middle, I didn't care, just chewed it and swallowed it. After eating, there is a slight astringency in the mouth. But within acceptable limits.
Although these bananas can be difficult to serve as a staple food, they are still a good choice for the occasional hunger or dessert. At least not wasted, is it?
Maybe it's because of eating bananas on an empty stomach, my stomach makes a gurgling sound, and it startles me a lot, I hope there won't be diarrhea or something......
The clouds are quite thick today, and the power of the sun is not very strong, so I plan to go for a walk around the river, where I can pick some fruit, and second, I can take a bath in the stream and wash my clothes.
I still carried the plastic basket on my back, and yesterday I made a total of three handbaskets, all of different sizes, so this time I went out, I only brought the largest one, which can be used to pick some fruit as a backup.
ā¦ā¦
It must have just rained, but the water in this small river is now as deep as my calf, and it is strange lately, because the schools of fish used to seem to have evaporated, at least as far as I can see, I have not found a single one, only some small fish and shrimp, swimming on the clear bottom.
It's not a problem, as for the fish, I have nets in the woods by the sea to harvest a lot, but there are sharks over there, which is a bit annoying, although those sharks are not big, they may be just seedlings, but their teeth are not empty......
The water temperature was a little cold, and the wind blew a little cold after washing, so I changed into clean clothes, and put my clothes on a stone by the river, and beat them back and forth with a thick branch, as I saw in those costume dramas.
I didn't understand how it worked, it was purely imitation, but it worked well, after a few folds and back and forth, and after rinsing in the water again, I opened the clothes and there were no obvious stains.
After putting the washed clothes in the plastic basket, I went to the side under a fruit tree, which was running out of fruit, and I could pick it twice at most.
This fruit tree has helped me the most since I came to the island, without which I would have been in a state of hunger a lot of the time, and precisely because it is juicy and sweet, it can both quench my thirst and satisfy my food, just because I eat too much, I always feel a little tired. The harvest went smoothly, the fruit trees were not very tall, the branches were spread out, and it was easy to climb.
But when I climbed the tree to pick, I made a new discovery, I saw through the leaves that there was a small fruit tree in the distance!
This excites me, and after putting these juicy fruits away, I directly picked up the plastic basket and walked towards the newly discovered fruit tree.
The fruit of the fruit tree was yellow, but I didn't see the shape clearly, so I don't know if it was someone I knew......
Even if you don't know it, you can taste it, after all, the tree is densely covered with fruits, and if you can eat it, it will be delicious...... That would be perfect!
