Thanks to the absence of a devastating typhoon this year, all kinds of crops are in a normal state of growth, so the yield is not a little bit stronger than in an abnormal year.

Corn is like this, I estimate that sweet potatoes are not too far away, this year should be the most abundant food in the island in several years, and even so much that I am a little worried, and there are not enough containers at home!

When I was farming, I thought that as long as there was no harvest like last year, even if I only harvested three or five hundred catties, I was willing, but I didn't expect to get eight hundred catties at once.

Harvesting grain is not a simple matter, corn cobs need to be dried and threshed after receiving the sunyard, and the weather needs to be paid attention to from time to time every day in case of thunderstorms.

The corn stalks in the field also need to be dried and cut down into small piles to make fertilizer, and the rest of August will be spent on the corn!

......

The typhoon was not the most nerve-wracking thing for me after I harvested the corn, because it was difficult for other crops to be affected, and the house was not too much of a problem.

Neither is a crocodile, as long as I don't go to the sea, it doesn't pose a threat to me, or even that it just delivers me food!

The most headache and weakness is the well water problem!

Compared with the normal level before the earthquake, the amount of water in the well can only reach about half of what it was then, and the sudden drop is only an instant chill in the heart, but the slow decline makes people stay cold.

It's hard to believe that a sudden well-time well won't be useless and my fresh water source will be completely cut off......

Normally, the wind and rain are good, and the water supply can barely be maintained for about a week, but as long as there is more than a week of continuous sunny weather, the well is almost to the point where there is no water available.

From the initial half a month to about ten days, and then to the current week, the more I think about it, the more unbearable it becomes, but I can only be forced to accept it.

It's like a guy hitting me, I'm in pain, but I can't fight back, that kind of taste can kill people!

In the past, during the drought, I had been around the upper mountains for a week, and I had found no other suitable place to dig a well, nor any fresh water to leach.

This is a very headache, and if one day the well completely fails I will be in trouble, and even directly lead to the inability to survive!

Even though I had previously inspected the mountain at the top of the island once a week, I had to set out again to find water as a precaution, this time covering the entire island and not confined to a certain location.

No matter where there is a mountain crevice that is flooding, where the ground can be kept moist for a long time, there is a possibility of fresh water, and I will not let it go.

But the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and it took a week to find a place where there is water immersion, but I was hot enough to choke, and many wounds were cut on my body.

It seems that I can only put the search for a new water source on hold for the time being, hoping that the well will surprise me, and the chance of finding fresh water again is very small!

......

Recently, I don't plan to go far again, this time is hot enough, if it is not for the daily use of dandelion and other herbs to boil water pressure, it is estimated that the heat poison has already attacked, and caused a variety of symptoms such as fire.

Today I want to put the second crocodile skin to use, and I can finally make the backpack I have been missing for a long time again.

In order not to waste the precious crocodile skin, I first drew the required size on paper and calculated how big a piece of skin I needed, as well as the size of the cut.

There's no way, if you mess around, it's likely to destroy only the fish skin, and after almost half a month of processing, you can harvest a crocodile skin, which is full of hard work!

It turns out how correct it is to have a plan before doing something, even if it is just a simple sketch, and now I realize that it is difficult to make a backpack out of a whole piece according to my original cutting method, and it will take several pieces to be sewn up to make the main body.

After my simple calculation, I cut it according to the size and shape of the drawing, and it was quite complete, and the main body was formed at one time, and then only the opening part of the bag and the shoulder strap needed to be reprocessed to be used directly!

Suddenly I wanted to boast about myself......

Just such a big man did needlework in the room again, and sat for half a day, but the effort was not in vain, and I finally had a backpack again!

At present, its role is not very large, because its use is to go to the sea to load seafood, and now there is no way to go to the sea, so its use is relatively narrow.

It is more practical to go out and hunt the back basket, so you don't have to worry about being broken and dirty, but after cleaning all the crocodiles, it can play a role.

Besides, being idle is also idle, and it is quite useful to make some necessary things first, and to do them when they are needed will delay other things.

......

In addition, it is necessary to cultivate green vegetable seedlings, and in previous years, the transplanting of the next season was completed in August at the earliest, but this time it was more than half a month late, and the green vegetables of the previous season were slowly withering.

At the same time, potatoes should also be planted, and potatoes in two seasons a year cannot be missing, otherwise there will be no seeds in the next season next year, which is also an embarrassing problem, and its short growth period forces me to plant two crops a year.

It's like being kidnapped by it, if you want to be lazy and only plant one season a year, then when you want to plant again after the year, the seeds will be completely lost!

I spent the next few days waiting for an opportunity to do another hunt before harvesting the peanuts.

The chance is that after the rain or cloudy weather is not too hot, this is five days, and finally five days later, wait for a heavy rain.

The temperature dropped by more than five degrees after the rain and remained basically within 30 degrees, making it ideal for action.

Without any further hesitation, I set off directly after packing up all kinds of equipment, but this time the search for the target was not smooth, each time two or three stayed together, and the female crocodile was nowhere to be seen, it is estimated that the eggs have been laid and returned to normal posture, and the body shape is no longer obvious!

On the third day, the temperature rose two or three degrees, and I was persuading myself to go back, it was too hot! But I decided to look for it again and pause if I still didn't get anything today.

Luckily, I just walked out of a kilometer on the coast and saw one, when I detoured to more than ten meters away from it when I took an arrow to aim, I found that it turned out to be the female crocodile that had missed, and there was still that arrow wound on the body, and I don't plan to let it go again today.

The results are always full of changes, and what I never expected was that the arrow I was so sure of actually missed the target, and I didn't even touch its edge!

......

The sound of the seaside was very noisy, I thought it would be ignored as a small falling stone, or it was muffled by the sound of the waves and did not hear it, but it did not follow my thoughts at all, maybe the last abrasion made it a little alert, and the moment it opened its eyes, it moved directly towards the sea.

This made me secretly anxious and at the same time ready to shoot the second arrow, which was still within range and was not moving fast.

In order to make the success rate higher, I also chased forward, and successfully reduced the distance to less than 20 meters again, and without pausing, I shot an arrow directly, and the action was quite coherent.

This time, the shaft of the arrow did not disappoint, but it also missed a few centimeters, and did not hit the vital part, but in the back position, indicating that my archery skills still need further practice, and the current proficiency is still too bad.

Even if it was a crocodile moving slowly, such a major mistake should not have occurred within a distance of more than ten meters, not to mention that the first arrow missed the target!

The wounded crocodile fled faster, only thirty or forty meters away from the sea, and had at most twenty or thirty seconds to escape into the sea, at which point the operation would fail again.

In order to prevent the target that I had found in three days from running away in vain, I took a spear and rushed straight towards the wounded crocodile.

The damage of an arrow was clearly not enough to render it incapacitated, and even though it was fifty percent lower than normal, I was only able to catch up with it less than ten meters from the beach.

When I was five meters away from it, I threw the net on its body, but unfortunately I was in a hurry and did not catch the net, and only one last resort remained, which was the spear!

I'm pretty calm today, but I can't make mistakes again and again, and I have a hunch that this crocodile might eventually escape.

There are only a few meters left, and I want to give it the most lethal blow with my spear, and I won't give up until I use my last skills!

Worried about missing the head stab, the spear still chose its belly, even if it was crawling forward, it was more than ten centimeters in, and when I tried to pull the spear and drag it back, its violent movements got rid of the spear.

The fact that the last spear failed to stop it from escaping into the sea, I failed!

......

As for whether it can survive with an arrow and a spear, it can only depend on the will of God, but I think there is very little hope of surviving.

The situation in the sea is very complicated, a crocodile that is constantly oozing blood will inevitably attract the attack of other ferocious animals, and even be eaten by its own kind, and these two injuries are not small, and it is 100% a matter of stabbing the organs, and I am more than eighty percent sure that it will die in a day or two.

It's a pity that the efforts of the past three days have been in vain, and the mission can be declared a failure before the death of the crocodile is discovered, not to mention that the fish meat has not been obtained, and not getting the fish meat is more annoying than not nailing the crocodile on the spot!

Do you think that's the end of it? Not really!

As I was packing up my fishing nets with my spear and preparing to return, I passed by the place where the crocodile had just crawled and noticed something unusual, a pile of sand that looked very messy and irregular as if it had been scraped by a crocodile.

This has to remind me of the fact that this female crocodile has become slimmer, which means that she has laid eggs!

Human curiosity can sometimes kill people, and sometimes it can have unexpected gains, it is a double-edged sword, and the feeling of me sticking a spear into this pile of sand is different from ordinary sand, which makes me trust my judgment even more.

I went back to the place where the basket was kept, took my axe and began to dig up this pile of sand, and as expected, there were dozens of crocodile eggs, larger than eggs.
