One hundred and three days, footprints
Ye Qingchen's shout attracted everyone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Footprints? Brother Qian also ran over with a shout. "The footprints of wild boars, it seems that there was a lot of excitement here last night, and it is likely that the wild boars brought these crocodiles here. Ye Qingchen guessed.
The footprints were clearly coming out of the woods, and when they reached the edge of the trap, they stopped abruptly, and immediately changed direction and left to the side.
The owner of the footprints is obvious, it is a wild boar, but Ye Qingchen's idea is wrong, the crocodile did not follow the wild boar! I think it is more likely that the crocodile came first, touched the trap, fell into the trap and died here, and the wild boar should be the latecomer! The reason why I say this is also based on evidence!
You know, the wild boar's character determines its way of survival, they are simple, rough, and direct! And those footprints only stopped to change direction when they reached the edge of the trap, do you still need to guess?
Apparently the boars saw the crocodile, the crocodile that fell into the trap, and they were frightened! They didn't know if they were frightened by the trap or the crocodile! After that, they changed direction and left.
Personally, I'd rather have a wild boar fall into a trap, because wild boars might be more suitable for us as food!
But Brother Qian said just now, this crocodile is very useful, and it is not small! After speaking, he and half a.m., Mi Dakang, and Ye Qingchen carried this crocodile to the river to clean.
I didn't go, of course, not because I wanted to be lazy, but because many of the traps were destroyed. I need to stay to recover some. Although there are some traps that I don't understand at all, and I can't fix them, I just need to fix this most critical trap.
It was unanimously decided that in view of the effectiveness of this trap, we decided to dig up a few more and let all these damn crocodiles come back. Now it seems that this trap is the most effective.
Originally, the lasso I made was indeed touched a long time ago, but it did not hold the prey at all, but was broken free, and the strength of the vine was far from enough, so it seems that I can only try again with the cable. Other people's large animal traps were even more useless, especially Ye Qingchen's so-called high-altitude rockfall trap, which didn't hit anything at all......
The big trap was quickly repaired, and after burying the thick, sharp trunk at the bottom, I covered it with a branch on the side, and finally covered it with a layer of leaves, and it looked perfect again.
However, the crocodile caught this time with a total length of about four meters, it is considered luck that it did not escape, and this trap is not big enough. The trap dug in the back must be more than twice as big as this, and I think that at least the length and width must be at least about four meters!
This is not my casual idea, you must know that the crocodile that chased us last time was at least about seven meters, if such a big crocodile came over, it would not necessarily fall into a two-meter square pit, even if it fell, it was estimated that it would be able to escape. Escaping from the prey is not what we want, for us, as long as we have the opportunity, we must use all means to eliminate the crocodile!
Now these crocodiles are our biggest threat, and if we can't think of a more effective way to get rid of them, sooner or later, we will all become their food and be preyed upon by them.
For the depth of the trap, I think it has to be about three meters, so that no matter how big the crocodile is, as long as it dares to come and fall into the pit, no matter what, it will not be able to escape! In addition, the bottom of the pit was originally inserted with branches, but this time fortunately, one branch was thicker, and finally pierced into the crocodile's eye, otherwise it might have run away.
However, the other branches around have been staggered by this crocodile, so I didn't continue to use the previous branches as a sharp weapon at the bottom!
In addition, even if our trap is good, it can only be regarded as waiting for the rabbit, which is not particularly helpful for our survival! Last time, I also made a suggestion that we could get some poisonous snakes, poisonous frogs or other highly poisonous things, smear them on arrows or smear them on the dead rabbits, feed the crocodiles, and find a way to let the crocodiles swallow these poisonous foods, and finally die of poisoning......
But in the end, this solution was rejected by all of us, you know, it doesn't do us any good to do this, even if you poison a few crocodiles, it won't affect them very much, and what if you don't kill them? What if the crocodiles don't eat it?
And it is very difficult to get the venom of the poisonous snake and the frog, not to mention the content of the venom in a poisonous snake, the danger alone is terrifying!
It is indeed very uneconomical to trade such a great danger for these venoms and the methods that may poison the crocodile. I sat in the courtyard and thought about it for a long time, but I still felt that this method was not reliable at all.
For us, the perfect way to catch crocodiles is now with traps. Trapping crocodiles is a great way to keep a few of us safe, get food, and reduce the number of crocodiles.
"Brother Luo, we are going to have a big meal again today...... "They came back, and before they entered the courtyard, I heard Ye Qingchen pulling his throat and shouting excitedly. Maybe they just got something good?" I stood up and looked in the direction the voice was coming from.
"Yo, rabbits, are you still going to catch rabbits?" Seeing that Ye Qingchen was still carrying two processed rabbits in his hands, I asked suspiciously.
"Brother Luo, you really don't believe it, these two rabbits were found by us passing by the river, and when they escaped, they were nervous for a while, and they actually got into the vines and got entangled! Ye Qingchen excitedly described the scene to me.
In fact, I also know very well that these two rabbits should have been caught by Ye Qingchen, and his running speed is indeed very fast, but thinking of this, I also teased: "When we met at that time, weren't you like these two rabbits?"
"Brother Luo, isn't that?, at that time, your fierce and vicious appearance frightened me, I thought that my life was accounted for, really, oh, when I think of that time, my heart is still beating the drum...... "Ye Qingchen said this, obviously touting me.
If I wasn't very familiar with Ye Qingchen, maybe I would still be very proud of his words, but this kid is a smart person, and his appearance at that time was indeed frightened, but I feel that he is tempting!
But what it is no longer important. Now that we're on a team, the team has recently left another teammate, and if we want to get out of here alive, with just the five of us, there is little hope.
And although on the surface we are not short of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but in fact, we lack everything now, and the food reserves are simply not enough for this group of people to eat for many days, of course, the remaining bags of food do not count, because this is what everyone has said and left for everyone to commemorate their hometown. If you finish eating, you won't even have anything to remember!
In addition, we know too little about the island, and I have explored several places by myself a long time ago, and even the last time I figured out the problem of water sources in the mountains. But we don't know where the surrounding mountains, the nests of wild boars, etc.
Whether there is anything else on the island, whether there are other survivors, whether there are any treasures of the island, whether there are any secrets that we have so far, etc., all need to be answered after exploration.
Exploring the whole island should be the next most important thing for us, getting familiar with this place, knowing this place thoroughly, so that we can fully control this place!
Of course, there are several prerequisites for this, the first of which is to finish the most important trap first, and discuss it with everyone to think about how to deal with the crocodile. It's a pity that there aren't enough bullets in the pistol. If there are enough bullets, then there is no need to fear them at all. But alas, the remaining bullets are just that. I would never have used it until the last moment. This pistol is also the only talisman I have now!
"Brother Luo......! The ...... "I was thinking about it, and I came over at half past one! Everyone else went to prepare food, and now it's just the two of us outside!"
"That's it, Brother Zhao, let's say it, it's okay!" Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, I asked him to say it directly. It doesn't seem like a big deal.
"Well, the last time you mentioned the boat, when are we going to start doing it?"
"Well, it's not the time yet, but it shouldn't be long. "I know very well that if his fiancée thinks he is dead, she may forget about him after a period of sadness, and then go to someone else!
And it's been a few months now, and the more I wait, the more anxious I become! So he agrees with what I said last time about the shipbuilding proposal! But seeing that I haven't moved, he starts to get nervous.
"Brother Luo, when are you going to start, I think if you wait too long, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold on!" Speaking of this, he lowered his voice at half a point, and leaned over to me: "Brother Luo, you have also seen it, there have been more and more crocodiles recently, as if we are crazy, we unarmed people, how can we fight with them except these traps? You think Ying Yuefeng is also dead, if this continues, everyone will go to see him sooner or later." What do you think?"
It was only at one and a half o'clock that I realized how much he was afraid of the crocodile, and of course, I was scared, but was it useful? When I saw it, I was really surrounded by fear, but now, I only thought about how to fight it. Escaping doesn't solve anything at all.
"Brother Zhao, in fact, I understand what you mean, in recent times, not only you, but everyone else has been under great pressure to survive, and they are all trying to find a way! You must know that we can't escape at all! Even if we start the shipbuilding plan immediately! But you must know that this small boat has to be driven in the sea! It is not a bamboo raft, it will take several months! Do you know?"
"Also, do you think you can go to sea if you have a ship? Look, there are five of us! Let's assume that now the shipbuilding plan is successful, we have successfully built a ten-meter boat, and then the wind direction, Yang Fan! But have you thought about it, what about the food? What about the fresh water? In addition, how much water should be prepared, and how much food should be prepared? These are not things that can be solved in a moment and a half, give me some time, give everyone some time!"
After saying all this, I looked at half past one, and he did not speak, nor did he raise his head, but sat on the ground, supported his chin with his left hand, and was completely lost in thought.
I didn't go on any further, and I was going to say more about it, and it was clear that he was already thinking about himself. In that case, there is no need for me to continue.
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Brother Luo! If work starts one day, I will definitely be the first to support you!" After thinking about it for a while, he finally thought about it in the middle of the night, stood up and said these words to me. Actually, I was quite happy, and he once again confided in the things that were suppressed in his heart.
You must know that in this environment, if you suppress your thoughts for a long time, your emotions will explode sooner or later, and once they break out, it will be like madness, or direct depression, depression, and a strong sense of misanthropy, which will take him away sooner or later.
"It's ...... dinner!" I originally saw that one and a half were muttering this, and I wanted to say something, but Ye Qingchen's excited shouting voice came! It was also at this time that I suddenly realized that it was already noon!
I didn't do much in the morning, and I felt like I was the psychologist on the team...... But when it comes to mentality, Ye Qingchen and Brother Qian impressed me, the two of them usually reveal things, different from others, but they have always been more optimistic.
……
There were several pots of crocodile meat, and I originally thought it would be very old and unpalatable! In addition, because of Ying Yuefeng, I have always been a little repulsed! But since they have all eaten it, in order not to specialize, I also forcibly ate a piece!
I even swear that I never thought that this crocodile meat would taste like this! I never thought that this crocodile meat would taste like this! I never thought that it was the tail meat, and it was a memorable aftertaste!
