Chapter 12 Coral Stone Fragments
It was a large patch of rubble scattered on the beach, and these pieces of rubble should not be ordinary stones.
They are behind the black reef and are long, oval in shape, and grayish-white in color!
These stones don't look big, they're the size of a little finger, they have a smooth surface, and they're densely stacked together.
Could this be......
Coral shards!
These are coral fragments!!
Dead corals are washed ashore by the sea, and over time this large coral belt is formed.
The area covered by coral fragments is very large, and the whole reef is covered with all the back, all the way to the end!
The beach here is green, gray, black and blue from the side, the green is the bushes, the gray is the coral fragments, the black is the weirdly shaped reef, and the blue is the undulating waves, which is really beautiful here!!
But Wu Yicai was not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful scenery, and the loss of the rescue opportunity just now made his dull mood not ease!
He didn't know what these coral fragments were for, in human civilization generally used coral to make jewelry, and now on the beach these obviously can't be made into jewelry, because they are dead and the color has completely faded!
Now Wu Yicai's mind is full of fresh water!
He just missed the rescue, and he has to continue to survive here, and the prerequisite for survival is to have enough food and fresh water!
Wu Yicai's stored banana trunk was only enough for him to eat for a few days, although the banana trunk was very sweet and juicy, but what made the egg hurt was that it needed to chew desperately to drink the juice.
Wu Yicai remembered the salty feeling of eating the small octopus boiled in seawater last night, and because of extreme thirst, he chewed the banana tree desperately, chewing until his temples hurt, and when he opened his mouth, he felt the bones in his jaw creak.
He remembered the embarrassment of last night, and unconsciously kneaded his temples and jawbone.
It's so painful to think about!
You have to keep looking for food, fresh water, and preferably plenty of food and a constant supply of fresh water!
In fact, Wu Yicai's worst plan was to boil the mud puddle water in the dense forest to drink, although the water had a peculiar smell, but in order to survive, he should be able to drink it......
But he couldn't drink the mud puddle water, mainly because it was too undrinkable and not clean......
Wu Yicai casually picked up a few coral fragments and put them in his pocket, the touch of coral in his hand is very light, very slippery, and the touch is good!
He continued to walk along the reef-strewn beach, there were no more corals on the ground, and he gradually shifted away from the sea, and now he should be a few dozen meters away from the sea.
It's not that he doesn't want to walk along the coastline, it's that the more he goes, the more rugged the terrain becomes, and the reef there can't stand at all......
These reefs should not have been washed out by the sea! The reefs washed by the sea should be relatively smooth, and there may be some large holes.
These reefs are more like rolling rocks, with tiny pockmarks on them, as if they had been left here, and they must have been here for a long time, covered in green moss and dense shells.
Wu Yicai felt that the shapes of these reefs were somewhat familiar, and he should have seen them somewhere, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen them......
If you can't think of it, the most important thing right now is to explore the area, hoping to find springs, streams, and better yet, plenty of fruit trees!
Without further delay, he continued to search for fresh water and food, and gradually walked, he could see sparse trees, which he did not recognize, and there was no fruit on them, so he could go around them directly!
The sun was already high in the sky, the temperature was getting warmer, his wet hair was drying, and the moisture of the sea water was evaporating, leaving only particles of sea salt.
Wu Yicai stroked his still smooth hair, the granular salt grains were scattered, and the palms and scalp that were stained with spider body fluids just now were no different, which also made his hanging heart a little lighter......
He stumbled upon a towering bulge that was supposed to be a pile of rubble and covered with some turquoise vegetation.
Is that!!
There's a tree on top of the pile!
It must have been a fruit tree, with some fruit hanging on it, but it was too far away for him to see what the fruit looked like.
And if he wanted to get the fruit, he had to climb the rugged rocks, and he didn't find a way to get it!
Wu Yicai was thinking about whether to climb up to see what kind of fruit it was, in case he climbed up and found that it was inedible, wouldn't it be in vain!
Just when he was struggling, he remembered something!
Damn!!I almost forgot! I have a telescope!
You can see the appearance of the fruit clearly with a telescope, and since the telescope on a desert island has been used by Wu Yicai as a tool for making fire, he has forgotten its original effect!
Wu Yicai couldn't wait to pick up the binoculars, the lenses were a little dirty, he couldn't see clearly, he wiped them with his clothes, and now he should be able to see the appearance of the fruit clearly!
I adjusted the focus, and the shape of the fruit was close in front of me......
The telescope bought for 250 yuan is different, and you can see things very clearly!
The fruit on this tree is large and numerous, at least a dozen, and the fruit is oval-shaped, fist-sized, green and yellow!
This is......
It's papaya!!
This is papaya, which is the delicious fruit that women eat to enlarge their breasts and legs, and there are three yellow papayas on this tree!
For the sake of these three delicious papayas, he also had to venture to climb up!
It didn't look very high from a distance, but when I got closer, I realized that it was higher than I had estimated from a distance!
About five meters high, the rocks of the stone pile are uneven, just become his foothold and climbing aid, he climbed carefully, tired and sweaty, and finally climbed up.
The papaya tree is not very tall, only about three meters, and the ripe papaya can be reached by reaching out to it.
Wu Yicai only collected three yellow ripe papayas, he didn't pick those that were green, they shouldn't be ripe yet, and even if they were picked, they wouldn't be edible, so it was better to let them continue to grow here and pick them next time!
The papaya was a little hot from the sun, its skin was soft and a little greasy, and he put the papaya in his pocket, just enough to stuff it in, but fortunately the pants he wore were a little elastic, and the pockets were also very large.
Below the towering stone pile where Wu Yicai was located was a dense green, and it was also a large area, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.
He stood on a high pile of rocks and looked through a telescope, and in front of him was a deep valley, and the vegetation below was so dense that it was impossible to go down from where he was, and this cliff stretched into the distance, and from this cliff it was impossible to walk into the valley below!
He hasn't fully explored the landscape above the valley yet, so he'll be looking for his way to the valley below!
If you want to go down the valley, you can only find the edge of the stone pile, and whether there is a slower cliff to go down remains to be studied.
The exploration here can be over, there is no fresh water found here, and he is a little hungry, so he should go back to the hut first and finish his meal and make plans.
The sun was shining at noon, and he felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and he was ready to walk back from the towering stone pile, one to cool off, and the other to enjoy the food!
Wu Yicai did not return the same way, but looked for the ground and trees further above the seashore, so that he could not only explore the terrain more, but also find more food.
After walking a long way, he found an unripe pineapple, planted a branch near the pineapple, and waited for him to harvest it later.
Wu Yicai was a little helpless to find that he was obviously walking in a straight line, but the trees, vines, and gravel on the ground would make him change his orientation and walk in a zigzag manner......
Fortunately, Wu Yicai had a good sense of direction, and he successfully made a detour back to his cabin!
The porcelain bowl on the floor had cooled down, and he picked it up and looked at it.
Seeing the porcelain bowl, Wu Yicai was a little shocked and a little melancholy!
