Chapter 50: Where are you? I want meat!

Ready to harpoon, the two sat down on the bed in the shelter and began to sort out the drift gillnets.

"Drift gillnets are one of the most used fishing nets in the world, mainly used to catch migratory fish. Because it moves with the current, and the entangled fish hang in the net like spines, it is called a drift gillnet. ”

"We have a small part of the gillnets here, I don't know if they were broken or hanging on something, they were cut off by the owner and discarded, and drifted to the island with the sea, and we found them again. ”

"The net is estimated to be more than three meters long and two meters high, which is not enough to use to catch fish in the sea, but we are going to place it at the entrance to the tidal ditch in the mangrove forest and use it as a trap. ”

"I hope that when the tide rises and falls, there will be fish passing through the entrance of the tidal ditch, and you see, the fish swims over, and then its head goes through this net, but the body is stuck outside, and then the gills and the two small fins under the gills will hang on this net, and the more you struggle, the more firmly you hang. ”

"One of the big characteristics of this kind of net is that it eats both sizes, so it is very lethal to fish stocks, and even crabs can't escape its entanglement. ”

It took half an hour for the two of them to put the net in order, the net was actually very small, but it was too messy, and there were two large holes that needed to be patched up a little, so it took so long.

Smearing the exposed parts with coconut oil, carrying harpoons, fishing nets, daggers, and water bottles, the two of them were going to the freshwater collection device to get some water, then to the mangrove forest to place the fishing nets, wait for the sun to tilt slightly westward, and then go to the sea to find out if there was any seafood, and finally go to check the fishing nets and take away the harvest.

The fresh water collection device became more and more ineffective, and in half a day, only half a bottle of water was collected, but Liu Danqing had already expected this, so he was not disappointed.

Liu Danqing fetches water as she talks about their collection and use of fresh water.

"Right now, we have three main sources of fresh water: coconuts, which are our best freshwater reserves, which do not spoil, are nutritious and taste good, banana roots, which are becoming less and less popular, and third, seawater boiled in the fire. ”

"The third item was originally my high hopes, but the aluminum pot is not angry, and now I have to boil water with canned food, and I can't collect half a bottle of water a day, but I can't give up, half a bottle of water is equivalent to the water content of a coconut, and the sand becomes a tower. ”

"If there was bamboo on this island, we would be able to make a distillation device so that we could continuously distill seawater into fresh water, and we wouldn't have to worry about running out of water, but unfortunately, there was no bamboo. ”

"Of course, it's better to have a rain, so we can collect fresh water directly from a mineral water bottle, and it doesn't matter if you leave it for a few days, just boil it before drinking. ”

Xiao Weiwei heard Liu Danqing talking about the rain, and couldn't help but sigh: "When we were in the eighteen villages, we looked forward to stopping the rain every day, but I didn't expect that after only ten days, we were looking forward to the rain every day, alas!

A weather-beaten and weathered appearance, with a cute expression, is really cute.

Fortunately, the slope of this section of the road was very gentle, and the vegetation was not very dense, so the two of them easily came to the edge of the mangrove forest without sweating a lot, so there was not much water loss in the body.

Liu Danqing naturally opened the Qingye lecture hall first, pointed to the mangrove forest, and explained.

"Mangroves are composed of mangroves, but mangroves are not a kind of tree, but a tree family, called mangroves, there are 16 genera and 120 species, their biggest feature is salt tolerance, but this is also nonsense, trees that are not salt tolerant grow in the sea and die early. ”

"Mangrove plants are very peculiar in that their trunks generally do not grow indefinitely, but most of the supporting roots grow from the branches, which dig into the mudflats to keep the plants stable. At the same time, many finger-like aerial roots grow from the roots and are exposed on the beach ground, which are used for ventilation at low tide or even when the tide is submerged, so they are called respiratory roots. ”

"You see, there are dense radicles over there, and then they fall off from the mother, and they are inserted into the mudflats, and they take root and grow into new individuals. ”

"This breeding method is a bit like a gourd baby, now the vine grows and grows, and it is already a child when it lands. ”

Liu Danqing searched while explaining.

"Weiwei, you see, there is a tidal ditch over there, the entrance is not far from here, but the tide has not completely receded yet, the road is under the water, we have to go into the water to wade over, is there a problem?"

Xiao Weiwei raised her head: "No problem, let's go." ”

The two of them went down to the sea, waded through the thigh-down water, and rounded a pile of rocks and some mangroves to the entrance of the tidal ditch.

The terrain was lower, but the two of them didn't need to be in the deepest place, they went straight inside, tying their nets to two mangroves.

Before, the two had tied two stones to the bottom of the fishing net, Liu Danqing felt it, worried that the stone was too light, and the fishing net would be rolled up by the waves, so he found two more stones and tied them to the bottom of the fishing net.

"Alright, the gillnet trap is arranged, let's go to the shade of the trees for a while, and when the sun becomes less dazzling, then go into the water to see if there is any prey above. ”

"The sun is so strong that even the reflection on the surface of the sea can make me feel dazzling, and in this case, if we force a search on the surface of the sea, I am afraid that it will hurt my eyes. ”

Liu Danqing called Xiao Weiwei, and the two walked to a tree beach next to the mangrove forest, found a shade and sat down, this position just happened to be able to see the island opposite.

"Look at it slightly, that island is obviously much bigger, and the materials should be more abundant, you look carefully, do you see that there is a particularly green color over there, it may be a bamboo forest. ”

"Although this island is very barren, we are doing well now, we have shelter, we have fire, there is less fresh water, we can still find a way, and in terms of food, we will know in a moment whether there is an abundance of food here. ”

"But it's a little strange that we haven't seen a single snake until now, whether it's a land snake or a sea snake, the easiest food to catch. ”

Xia Weiwei also felt very strange at this time, and said: "Yes, I am still very careful every time I walk, worried about stepping on snakes, but in the past two days, I haven't even seen a snake, it seems to eat meat!"

I have to say that after Liu Danqing's cultivation, Xiao Weiwei has become more and more wild.

The average woman's first reaction when she hears the snake is: "Wow! Ahhh

The woman's first reaction when she heard the snake was, "Where, let me kill it!"

And the first reaction of the female savage when she heard the snake was: "Where is the snake? Is it big, and is there a lot of meat?"

Xiao Weiwei's reaction at this time has definitely left the general public, and she is not far from the female savage.

Therefore, the audience in the live broadcast room, regardless of men and women, were very surprised by Xiao Weiwei's performance at this time.

"Sister Weiwei, you are our role model! In the future, if a boy scares me with a snake, I will eat the snake!"

"Mengmeng didn't give Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - let's fight! Sister Weiwei! Devour the world!"

"The beautiful girl Jingjing gave Danqing and Weiwei an early warning aircraft - Sister Weiwei, idol, I want to worship you as a teacher!"

"The beautiful girl Fei Fei gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - I want to apprentice too! ”

"Sisters are just a space shuttle to Danqing and Weiwei - the sister is ambitious, defeat the scumbag, and the beauty is responsible!"

Finally, Lou is crooked again, and the protagonist has changed from a slight scumbag killer!

After resting for a while, Liu Danqing stood up, went to the edge of the mangrove forest to look, the water level was still high, shook his head, turned around and walked back to sit next to Xiao Weiwei, and said:

"The water level in the mangrove forest is still high, otherwise we could have gone in and found out if we could catch a few crabs." Mangrove forests are the perfect habitat for crabs, with plenty of food, safety, and humidity. ”
