Chapter 57: Small Island for Big Island
Seeing the coconut crab disappear into the grass, Liu Danqing opened two coconuts, one with Xiao Weiwei, drank coconut water first and then ate coconut meat as breakfast.
After breakfast, Liu Danqing dug up some sea sand and threw it on the fire, extinguished the fire, and began to dismantle the fire shelter and shelter, and recover rope and wood.
"We're about to say goodbye here, so we don't need shelters and fire shelters, so we just dismantle the materials used to make the floating boards, and of course, one of the most important things is to put out the fire and prevent it from starting a fire when we leave. ”
"We made the bed board into the surface of the floating board, and used the pillars of the fire shelter as rungs to make two floating boards, one 60 centimeters wide for me to use, and one 50 centimeters wide for Weiwei. ”
"The float is not as wide as possible, as long as it is slightly wider than our body, so that it is convenient for us to paddle with both hands, if it is too wide, both hands are held by the float, and we will not be able to use our strength when paddling. ”
"Now we first bundle up the materials for the float board, pack up the things we are going to bring, wrap the harpoons, bottles, cans, salt and put them in the backpack, and then bring two coconuts. ”
Xiao Weiwei looked at those coconuts, her face was full of reluctance, and suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and suggested to Liu Danqing: "Qingqing, let's open a few more coconuts and fill two bottles of water, so that we have some fresh water reserves." ”
Liu Danqing patted his head, nodded and said: "Yes, it's still slightly smart, why didn't I think of it, Cheng, I'll open the coconut, you pour the coconut water into the big shell first, and then pour it into the bottle." ”
Liu Danqing took out the dagger and began to saw the coconuts, and soon, nine coconuts were opened and filled with four bottles of water.
"Okay, don't care about these coconut meats, together with the rest of the coconuts, leave them for the coconut crabs to eat, Weiwei, let's go." ”
Dragging a large pile of things, the two of them panted to the edge of the mangrove forest, which was the closest place to the big island and their starting point.
Putting down the things, Liu Danqing said to Xiao Weiwei: "Weiwei, you rest for a while, I'll go to the fishing net to take a look, and collect the net by the way." ”
"This is also a place to pay attention to, when leaving, we should erase as much as possible the traces that will affect the environment, such as our fishing net traps, if we keep them there, then there will always be fish and crabs that collide and lose their lives, it is understandable to hunt for food, but if we leave and leave the traps, it is too bad. ”
There was a small fish with a finger in the fishing net, and when Liu Danqing saw that it was still alive, he carefully took it out, put it back in the water, brought the net back to the island, and threw it into the woods.
has experience in making bamboo rafts, and even Xiao Weiwei is very good at making this kind of simple floating board, which is nothing more than arranging wooden sticks and tying them to three horizontal blocks.
In less than an hour, the two floats were all ready, and the extra rope was connected and tied between the two floats.
After each taking a few sips of water, the two of them put on their backpacks, dragged their pontoons to the deep water, got on their stomachs, put their harpoons on their sides, and rowed towards the big island.
Today is still a sunny day, the wind is not strong, so the waves are small, which is good news for the two of them.
"When swimming in the sea without shark nets, it is important to remember that it is best to be quiet and quiet, and it is better not to make too much splash and movement. ”
"Because sharks tend to stare at the bottom of the water and don't look at the surface of the sea, but if there is too much movement on the surface, they may also be driven by curiosity to greet them. ”
"There was once an incident of a shark attacking a human on the beach of Hawaii Island in the United States, where a great white shark entered a beach full of tourists through a hole in the shark net. Originally, sharks swam quietly, and humans played happily and peacefully. ”
But that calm was shattered by a scream, with one tourist being the first to see the triangular dorsal fin, and then countless tourists desperately swam towards the beach. ”
"The scene may have reminded the shark of a hunt for fish, so it attacked nearby humans, killing two and injuring five. ”
"Another time in the Amazon River, the protagonist was changed to a piranha, a passenger boat capsized, and tourists fell into the water and struggled desperately, attracting countless piranha attacks and heavy casualties. And that section of the river is usually flooded by people, but there are no piranha attacks."
Liu Danqing was paddling towards the big island while telling a horror story, and soon, the two rowed out a short distance.
Looking at the position, Liu Danqing pulled the rope and shouted to Xiao Weiwei: "Weiwei, follow me, adjust the direction, we are deviated by the current." ”
The two of them adjusted the bow of the boat and continued to slide towards the beach of the big island.
"You see, even though we have a float, which is much faster than swimming, and we are always aware of the direction, we are still carried away by the current, and if we don't have it, we will be in more trouble. ”
"This is the danger hidden under the gentleness of the sea, just like boiling a frog in warm water, first it makes you feel that it is not difficult, then it makes you feel a little difficult, and then it is difficult, but it is okay to grit your teeth, and when you find that you can't do it, you have no physical strength and no chance to turn back. ”
"So it's important to remember that when facing an unfamiliar situation, you must be fully prepared, even if some of the preparations seem superfluous, but maybe it is these superfluous preparations that have saved your life. ”
Looking at the location again, Liu Danqing shouted to Xiao Weiwei: "Weiwei, the shore is closer, the waves will become bigger, pay attention, let's work harder and rush over." ”
The two of them accelerated their hands and rushed to the shallow water.
Dragging the pontoonboards, the two walked onto the beach, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, and took out banana leaves from their backpacks and put them on.
"We drank saliva first, slowly, the last wave of sprints, it took a lot of physical strength, but the effect was good, we rushed up, rested, rested for a while, and we were going to explore. ”
"From here, the original island was really small, estimated to be only one-tenth the size of this island. ”
"The island is big, which means that the resources are abundant, you see, there are coconut trees everywhere on this island, I hope there are ripe, and I find that I have fallen in love with coconuts now. ”
Xiao Weiwei is also very satisfied with coconut, commenting: "Coconut is really good, it can be drunk as a drink or eaten as food, and the taste is very good, this is a treasure given by God to foodies." ”
After resting for a while, Liu Danqing stood up, patted the sand on her buttocks, pulled Xiao Weiwei up again, and sighed while dragging the floating board inside:
"When we got up and explored, we first pulled up the floating board, which is a ready-made bed board, which can save us a lot of effort, it is too unsafe to put on the beach, and in case of high tide, it will soon be carried away by the sea. ”
"I say, dear audience, you're so ruthless!"
"As planned, we are already building pergolas and beach chairs, and we will be able to enjoy the holiday life in no time. But now, we have to start from scratch, explore, light fires, and build shelters. ”
"Luckily, we still have a piece of stingray meat and a few bottles of fresh water so that we don't go hungry and thirsty. ”
"Now, I seriously doubt that you have been stimulated by the poison we have put on you, this is revenge, friends. ”
The audience listened to Liu Danqing's complaints, and their hearts ...... That comfort is really like drinking ice soda on dog days, the heart is cold and the heart is flying.
"The snow in Saibei gave Danqing and Weiwei a helicopter - Master Qing, you are busy! You are busy! I will watch quietly, and I will not disturb you, hehe!"
"Xiong Er gave Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - Qing Ye, congratulations on a new class, applause!"
"The beautiful girl Fei Fei gave Danqing and Weiwei an early warning plane - hello Qingye, Qingye is hard, Qingye is busy!"
"The beautiful girl Lei Lei gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - new class, new knowledge, and Qing Ye accepted our tuition. PS: This is the class fee. ”
This class is a bank, and the class fee has not been used up yet.
"Sisters, I gave Danqing and Weiwei two spaceships - congratulations to Qingye for his housewarming, find three more marshmallow coconuts. ”
Yes, yes, the average person may not be able to receive so much gift money when they do a moving wine.
Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei changed islands and received so many gifts, the key is that they don't have to buy drinks and make money.
