Find the direction of the cave and walk down from the edge of the clearing closest to it, and it takes less than ten minutes to reach it!

After a day of exposure to the sun, I finally got some of the soaked firewood to light it again, so I picked up a large bundle of firewood and put some dry firewood around and put it in the cave.

The lesson of not stocking up on firewood yesterday made me realize the need to pick up some dry firewood to stock up on when it rains, otherwise it will be like this morning.

Dinner is a mango and a coconut, and it may not change much in a short time, and I miss all the delicacies I used to eat, especially the hot pot and the fatty pieces of meat!

Insomnia is inevitable, almost all the nights of the past few days have different degrees of insomnia, the difference tonight is that I think of the mobile phone and the computer, just stay quietly, there is no entertainment is too torturous.

Even if I had a game console right now, at least I could pass the time of my boredom......

On the fifth day, after simply eating a mango to fool my stomach, I walked to the beach with a broken fishing net that had been modified.

After several days of fruit and coconut water, the only remaining oil and water in my stomach have been scraped away, and now I am very eager to eat meat, any meat!

However, there were no animals found on the island, but I thought that the fish meat was easier to obtain, and I could also try the effect of the modified fishing nets.

Therefore, it is logical to go to the sea to fish, and in addition, you can also wash off some of the dirt on your body when you go to the sea.

As a pure carnivore, not eating meat at a meal makes me feel that the food is not fragrant, and I haven't eaten meat and meat for several days, and the whole person is not good......

The location for fishing was basically determined when I last visited the beach, and it was a small U-shaped cove that I thought was suitable for fishing, and the depth here was just right for me, and the calm of the water and the topography were more suitable.

When you come to a short distance with a fishing net, you can see that there are fish swaying in it from a distance, and as for whether you can eat fish meat today, it depends on the performance of technology, and the prerequisites have been met!

......

The net is a trawl on a fishing boat, and for the time being, it can only be used as a wall to fence the fish from the outside to the inside.

For fear of scaring the fish inside, I went into the sea from 20 meters on one side of the bay with a fishing net, and then went around to the exit of the bay, and slowly spread out the net to block the entire width of the outlet of seven or eight meters.

Easier said than done, it is extremely difficult to operate, the nets are easily entwined after launching, and the depth of the water is two or three meters, and it is impossible to stand on the bottom of the sea, and there are waves in the middle.

Not to mention my swimming skills, the only posture I can do at the moment is a dog planer, not to mention the ugly appearance, and the technique does belong to the second knife.

It took five minutes to spread the nets and enclose the entire opening, and a few mouthfuls of seawater were filled in the process!

Forced to make a living, these sacrifices are reluctantly acceptable, just hoping that the harvest will be worth the effort......

Once the exit from the bay is blocked, the whole thing is half done, and the net needs to be dragged continuously towards the edge of the bay and finally fixed to the shore.

Of course, the process was not easy, and after plugging the gap, I returned to the shore for a short rest before returning to the sea again, slowly pushing the nets from a distance to the shore.

The process is very uncomfortable, it is very uncomfortable to observe with the naked eye in the sea, the eyes are like pins and needles, and you have to keep floating and floating on the sea surface and the bottom of the sea to breathe, which makes the whole person extremely annoyed.

When I got to the shore, I threw the nets on the beach with the catch wrapped in it, and I was not in the mood to clean up the harvest at first, but first lay down in the shade of the beach to relieve my body and mental exhaustion!

After all, humans are land animals, and moving around the water itself is very difficult, and my poor swimming skills and the experience of not swimming for many years have magnified these difficulties infinitely.

Fortunately, when I was a child, I lived by the river, and I had a deep understanding of water, so I couldn't have the sea in front of me, and I could only stare stupidly at all kinds of rich sea resources.

After a short break, I finally had the strength to check the harvest of this trip, although I knew it when I got ashore.

The results can be gratifying, but also very touching, if you don't run away halfway, you can have at least 30 pounds......

However, because the human body in the sea is not as flexible as the fish, and the lack of experience in operating the net for the first time, it directly affects the final result.

I have to say that it is a pity to almost watch a large school of fish run away from the bottom of the net, as if a general with a team of soldiers, one person leads the way in front, and the one behind immediately follows.

But I don't want to boast about them, if they are all caught, they will have enough food for the next week.

Fortunately, there are still a few stupid ones left who didn't run, and they didn't let this trip to the sea become hard work, otherwise they would have the heart to cry!

......

The final catch was four fish: two of them, one pomfret, and one fish that could not be eaten.

On the one hand, because the mesh is larger, the size of the ones that didn't run out is relatively large, and the three add up to eight or nine pounds, which is already satisfactory for this result.

Don't underestimate these few catties of fish, they can at least solve the next two or three days of food rations, at this time any food is very important, let alone high-quality fish.

Of course, if you get too much, you can't save it, and now you don't even have a sharp weapon, and if you don't have the conditions to deal with it, you can only watch them stink and rot in the end, and you can't do anything about it.

The nets are very heavy, so I didn't really have the idea of taking them home, so I just put them on the beach near the hillside and didn't have to move them from the cave to the next time I fished, so I didn't have to worry about theft on the island.

It was a pleasure to get a few fish, but then another problem arose, I didn't have a knife or a sharp weapon, so I couldn't clean up the fish inside!

If you don't think about hygiene, the fish can be grilled and eaten, but for a person who has lived in the city for a long time, it is unacceptable to think about eating fish without gutting, and I personally have a little bit of cleanliness.

The last solution was to find a relatively hard stone chip, polish the thin side and make a stone knife, although it is also a big head to use, but fortunately, the fish can finally be processed.

Only one pomfret of about two catties was grilled for the three fish, and the other two were cut and pulled to remove the internal organs, and then divided into four pieces and smoked into dried fish.

If the temperature in August is not dealt with, it will spoil after half a day, and by tomorrow morning, it is estimated that these fish will stink, and even crawl on them with all kinds of robbing ants and insects.

Hanging a few pieces of fish on a straw rope and smoking them on the top of the fire, coupled with the sun's exposure to the fish quickly evaporating the water, is somewhat similar to smoking bacon, which is the only way to do it at the moment.

Fresh fish can be stored for a long time, even if modern technology is so advanced, if you want to preserve meat for a long time, in addition to putting it in the refrigerator, you can only make it into jerky or bacon.

However, the disadvantage is also very obvious, not only will the quantity be greatly reduced, but the taste will also vary greatly.

When I was a child, the dried fish made at home was basically used for frying except for feeding the cats, and the final taste was quite good.

Of course, it's also because dried fish is more unpalatable with other methods, but I don't have a choice right now!

The first time I ate the taste of grilled sea fish, it was quite novel, especially when I saw the oil bubbling out, that feeling was very pleasant, and the most important thing was that the quality of life in the past few days was too poor, and I saw the sea fish with the white taste of roasting and swallowing saliva.

Although there were no spices, not even salt, I ate the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, but I ate a trace of loneliness and helplessness in the back, until the last tears......

That's right, I'm homesick, and no matter what price it costs me now, I'm willing to go back to my hometown!

But the reality was simply not possible, and after a few days, no rescue was found, so I could only continue to eat grilled fish.

The sea fish without seasoning is very bland, not unpalatable, and not as delicious as imagined, but fortunately, the sea fish does not have the earthy smell of river fish, and the taste is better, and the most important thing is that the fish bones are very few, and you can eat meat in a big mouthful.

The morning fishing was tiring enough, and even now my heart was beating faster than usual, and I was ready to do some light work in the afternoon.

First of all, there is the problem of toilets, and the biggest effect of open defecation in addition to being an eyesore is the spread of odors.

I decided to dig a pit half a meter deep more than 10 meters from the cave, and after each settlement, I would hold a handful of soil to cover the smell.

To a certain extent, paying attention to hygiene is also a kind of responsibility for one's own health, although it is very unhygienic to not take a shower and change clothes for a few days, but there is no way, if there are conditions, they will be improved one by one!

......

After digging the toilet, it suddenly occurred to me that I wanted to make a tool first, after all, I couldn't do many things in this environment with my bare hands.

And the simplest tool that comes to mind is a stone axe, which can be chopped, chopped, and even thrown out as a weapon.

As soon as I thought of it, I found two harder flake stones near the rock wall at the top of the mountain, then shaped and polished the sharp side to a sharper edge, and tied them with two half-meter-long wrist-thick wooden sticks and a thread removed from the fishing net.

Without the bonus of tools, it is too inefficient to do things, but with tools, the results are completely different.

For example, there was a small tree in front of it that blocked the road many times, but there was nothing that could be done about it before, but now it is not a problem to cut down a tree with the thickness of a stone axe's arm.

The result of the experiment with a small tree with the thickness of a wrist is that it can be completely cut down with only five or six axes, and the power is still quite good, of course, this kind of small tree can be smashed down with only a blunt instrument, but it also directly shows that the stone axe is helpful to me!

The only thing that is not guaranteed is that the stone may crumble without accident, which is also its drawback, and it is always ready to remake a new stone axe.

There were about two hours left before dark when the two stone axes were made, and while it was still early, I took a few plastic bottles and went to the puddle that had been enlarged yesterday to fill some fresh water.

After more than a day of accumulation, the puddle has refilled and is slowly overflowing, and it is clearer after precipitation.
