A heavy rain came quite in time, and the water from the well was significantly more abundant than usual, not only was the well full, but the excess fresh water was constantly overflowing.

At this time, it looks a little heart-wrenching, but there is nothing to do, at least it makes people happy that they don't have to worry about the lack of water for the next ten days.

Dinner was mainly seafood, which I took very seriously, and it was rare to grill oysters on a stone slab.

The preheating speed of the slate is very slow, at least it takes about half an hour to be used to fry the ingredients, which is much slower than direct roasting, so the time to use it is relatively small, and it is mainly roasted and boiled.

The frying process is also very slow, the wait is always extremely long, and it takes another half an hour to finally eat the first bite of grilled seafood, and the fried seafood is sprinkled with a few grains of salt, and the taste is simply amazing......

The two simple methods are not the same as the taste of the meat grilled on the slate, but the efficiency of the slate is indeed too low.

Now I am desperate to find a variety of ingredients to improve the monotony of food, and the human body can be compared to an alternative machine, which needs all kinds of nutrients to maintain its normal function.

If you don't treat it well, it will go wrong and strike you in a sick way to protest, and I'm in a state where I don't treat this machine well!

Although the effect of food monotony may not be visible in a short period of time, once you do it for a long time, it will definitely cause great damage to the body, which is also my concern!

This is still a concern for the moment, and in the long run, it is a shortage of seeds for food crops and vegetables, and the number of these crops is more related to the rationality of the diet and whether they can live better in the future......

I plan to continue to identify all the unexplored forests and make a general assessment of the future living conditions as soon as possible, so that I can have psychological preparations and countermeasures in advance.

......

After eating a slice of grilled fish in boiling water, I set out again for the uncharted area of the woods with all my equipment and two bottles of fresh water, and because of the urgency in my mind, I spent much longer in the woods than before.

In the past, I returned to the cave at four or five o'clock at the latest, but today I did not return until the sun was about to set, and after some time of hard work, more than two-thirds of the entire island had been identified.

Today's exploration area is relatively large, of course, the harvest is also very good, it can be said that the island has found the most ready-made ingredients in so long a day, in addition to the many crops found before, this time in a small valley only thirty or forty meters from the sea, found a large area of taro.

Note that it's a big field of taro, not a few, which is very critical for me at the moment!!

Finding it will not only alleviate some of the food monotony problems, but also provide me with a lot of food to solve the problem of food shortage.

Taro can also be regarded as a plant rich in nutritional value, which has the effect of enhancing the body's immune function, and contains a lot of starch, which can not only be used as a vegetable to enrich the dishes on the table, but also as a staple food.

The starchy staple food is also particularly important at this stage, there are relatively few foods that can be used as staple foods, and most of the nutritional structures are not suitable, so long only cassava is more suitable, but its quantity is relatively small!

However, due to the fact that taro likes shade and moisture, its development prospect is limited, and the open land opened up is not suitable for planting, and it is only suitable for survival in paddy fields or ditches and other places that keep the soil moist all year round.

It also survives here because the terrain is prone to water accumulation and dense trees, and every time it rains, the soil is still moist for many days, and the dense woods delay the evaporation of water vapor.

So I don't plan to transplant it to expand the scale, but more to become a food to solve the ration problem in a short time, which is also a pity!

If it can be grown like corn and sweet potatoes, it will be possible to have another stable and large crop.

Of course, although it will not be transplanted, it can still do some things that are beneficial to its survival to make it grow faster, such as removing most weeds.

In addition, I want to let the taro top for a period of time before the scale of the corn and sweet potatoes is raised, which may be very short, about half a year, maybe very long, and it is not impossible to take a year or two or even longer.

Everything is unknown, so all I can do is do a little bit of preparation!

......

Before that, I also dug up two plants to confirm whether it is an edible species, and if I am happy too early, it will end up being an inedible variety, and the contrast is too great to accept.

There are hundreds of small varieties of taro in a large category, and a small part of them have a certain toxicity, and it is possible for a bad one to die because of this, but fortunately, this piece is the same variety, and it is also an edible variety!

The area of this piece is indeed not small, at least about two or three hundred square meters, although it grows relatively sparsely, but even if only one of the large ones is dug up, it can ensure that the output of two or three hundred catties is not a problem.

After digging more than a dozen fruits, they are bigger than a fist, it seems that this is the real solution to the short-term food problem, and more importantly, you can say goodbye to grilled fish these days!

Today can be said to be a good thing......

In addition to the more significant discovery of taro, there is an even bigger discovery --- greens!!

Although there are less than ten of them, which can only be used to grow seeds for the next season and not become the nearest food, its nature, like corn and sweet potatoes, is the material basis for building a better life in the future.

Referring to the various ingredients and plants found so far, it does need a combination of green vegetables, which can make this unreasonable structure more reasonable, but with the area that has been walked on the island so far, it is likely that there is no second suitable vegetable other than greens.

But it's not bad to have greens, and my first feeling is that I have more confidence to live!

When I first found the greens, I actually wanted to transplant them into the crops outside the cave like wild vegetables, because the first thing I thought of was that it was safer and I didn't have to worry about being destroyed by small animals.

But then I felt that its importance level was relatively high, so I cut off the plan to transplant it into the ground, after all, their plants are relatively large, and the rhizomes have also penetrated deep into the ground.

I went to check the growth status of corn and sweet potatoes on the way, and the sweet potatoes are growing slightly better than the previous days, and it may take some time to make a more noticeable difference.

The good news is that the corn will be harvested in a few days, and the chances of accidents in the last few days are very small, so there should be no problem.

Compared to the poor and worried when I first arrived on the island, now I seem much more relaxed, and in general the situation is developing in a better and better direction, and what I can do is to expand the scale of the crop at the same time, make sure that I can survive until the harvest!

When I came back in the afternoon, I was drenched in sweat again, and the weather in September was not much different from last month, especially in the woods.

In the process of fetching water, I took a shower again, and it was finally refreshing!

One of the great conveniences on the island is that I am the only one, no one says that I am alive and no one accompanied, but I don't care about it, I can wear clothes if I want, and I can be a wild man if I want to be a wild man!

......

I'm going to make some simple changes to the cave, although the weather in September is still relatively hot during the day, but there is already a hint of coolness at night, of course, the main reason for the coolness is that there is no quilt.

Sleeping at night as if I had no clothes on, and the embarrassment of the rain being swept into the cave by the strong wind during the last rain also strengthened the idea of renovating the cave.

Due to the constraints, I am not going to start a big project, but only to solve the temporary problem in a short time, after all, every day is still precious.

To put it simply, the final effect of the renovation is to block the cavity outside the cave, which plays the role of sheltering from the wind and rain, and at the same time, it can also avoid being exposed to sunlight and reduce the noise of insects outside the decibels, which is conducive to sleep!

After planning about the same time, the first thing to do was to collect materials in the woods, among which there were twenty or thirty wooden sticks about one meter long, six or seven long, and many fat leaves that resembled plantain leaves, and the transformation mainly relied on them.

The formal operation process is actually very simple, insert the two sharpened wooden sticks into the clay on the outer edge of the hole at a distance of 10 centimeters, first insert the top 20 centimeters, and then press down into the bottom 10 centimeters or so.

This method was also inspired when I installed a door in my home when I was a child, and it was not only simple but also practical to insert the wooden stick very firmly into the soil without digging the soil.

Except for the 50-centimeter-wide gap left in and out of the room, a row of wooden sticks were inserted into the other 2.5 meters wide, and if I were to sit in a cave and someone looked at me from the outside, I would feel like I was sitting in prison.

After the sticks are inserted, put the prepared large leaves cross-placed in the middle of the sticks, of course, because they will be weaker after drying, and they will look stable after putting a few more layers.

Because of the small overall area and simple operation, it didn't take too much time, and the transformation was completed in more than half a day.

Although it looks extremely simple, its actual role can not be underestimated, not only windproof, but also more secure, I think the quality of sleep at night should be much better!

I woke up the next morning with some swollen eyes because of a deafening rainstorm last night that seriously affected my sleep!

Although the foliage wall was built with foresight, it was only weakened and not soundproofed, resulting in at least three or four hours of not falling asleep.

The air outside is very fresh, although the sun is still very strong, but last night's rain has caused the temperature to drop a little, and a light breeze is refreshing, it seems that it is another beautiful day!

It just gave me the feeling that the air pressure outside was a little wrong, a little lower than usual, and there was a stuffy feeling, probably the rhythm of the rain.
