Volume 1 Chapter 37 Stranded Shark
In the first half of the year, the work of farming seemed complicated and clueless, although it was not very heavy manual work, and it was not too much effort, but it was very troublesome.
I haven't been to the beach for many days, and I'm going to go to the beach again today.
After all, the seaside is my survival supply station, and it's best to check in every few days, in case something that belongs to me is swept away by the waves and misses it!
This season is the most comfortable to go out, the temperature is suitable, the sun is not too strong, the key is not to put a thick layer of wet mud on the face and skin, you can enjoy the seaside scenery and the comfort of the breeze on the skin.
Less than half an hour after the trip, I picked up the first item of the day, a large plastic box with a lid that was basically intact.
Although I have seen the wind and waves since I went to the island, I am still happy to pick it up, and what is even more pleasing is that it is at least six or seven percent new.
I'm going to make it a special store for some dry goods, such as dried fish, dried mangoes, etc., but it is also a good choice to pack dried peanuts.
Anyway, there are still a lot of uses, and any useful thing can list several functions for it here, and there is always a place for it to play.
The rest of the hour was uneventful, but when I glanced ahead, I noticed a very large object crawling on the beach nearly a kilometer away.
This object is completely black, so dark that it is very scary to lie motionless on the edge of the beach!
Its size is at least three meters above the current distance, and it is clearly certain that it was not there when it last came, and it can't help but be remembered when you look at it from a distance......
I have several guesses, one of the more likely is a crocodile swimming to the island, if it is really miserable, not only can it no longer go to the sea, but even the beach is a dangerous area.
The other is a dinghy like a pirate or something, in which case I might not be miserable, but finished!
It's scary to think about!!
The more I thought about it, the more scared I felt......
In order to make my death clear, I continued to move forward with the mentality of finding out.
Anyway, there is still a distance of nearly a kilometer, even if there is a pirate, its gun will not be able to hit a kilometer away at all, and there is no way to hurt me at all, and I can dodge in advance when the time comes!
......
When I got to about 500 meters, I realized that it didn't look like a crocodile or a dinghy, but rather a dolphin, a shark, or a whale.
Because the sea seems to be about the size of it, and the large black animals with their bodies are all that, and with my limited knowledge, there seem to be only three of them.
As long as you make sure that it's not crocodiles and dinghys, you don't have to be as nervous as you were at the beginning, even if it's a shark that is the overlord of the sea, it can only be slaughtered when you go ashore!
As it got closer to two or three hundred meters, it was almost certain that it was a shark stranded on the beach, and looking at its iconic size and bloody mouth, it was unmistakable.
I began to secretly rejoice that a big fish was thrown into my arms, and I had never eaten shark meat before, but I could finally taste shark meat, and I didn't know if it was good or not.
Speaking of eating, I thought of shark fin, shark fin, and bird's nest is as famous as the precious tonic that has been widely circulated since ancient times, and it seems that it is really making a lot of money today, wahahaha!!
It turned out that I thought too much, and when I reached one or two hundred meters, I noticed that the shark seemed to be stranded for a long time, and it was not in the right state.
I already have a vague premonition that shark fin is going to be lost......
When I got closer, it turned out exactly as I thought!
The thought of shark fin being missed like this, as if I had missed five million, was quite lost!
When I got closer to twenty or thirty meters, I could clearly feel the smell of rotting meat coming to my nose, and I was so shocked for a while that I was so disgusted that I almost vomited my breakfast.
After running a few steps to the upwind outlet, the smell became very light, and I was finally able to take a serious look at what a shark that I had never seen in reality looked like, which I was very curious about.
......
This is an adult shark with a body size of nearly three meters, and it should have been stranded for a few days, and it is possible that it has been stranded since the last time I went back, and it has no help anyway.
The dead and stinky shark is still there, and looking at its appearance is still a little chilling, especially when I imagine the scene of being chased by sharks in the sea, I shudder even more!
The shark, known in ancient times as the shark, is one of the most ferocious predatory fish in the ocean, and it should be the champion of the most ferocious fish in the sea in terms of size and the size of its entire population.
It's been around for more than 500 million years, and I'm starting to wonder how a shark that is stupid enough to run aground can sustain its population for so long.
Given its vast experience, there should be no possibility of stranding, and while it can't invent all sorts of technologies like humans, it's certainly not too stupid for a species to survive this long, and my guess is probably the beach it went to while chasing prey.
However, it was useless to say anything, I missed a big meal and a lot of meat stock, and now I feel a pounding of my chest, deeply regretting missing shark fin......
After observing for a few minutes, a foul smell penetrated into my nostrils, and the stench was unbearable, so I could only hurriedly bypass the crime scene, which was really unprovoked, and I was about to vomit!
It may take at least a month for it to fully corrupt this season now, and it seems that the next few passes through this area will inevitably suffer from its stench.
......
I now feel more about the importance of coming to the beach often, and this shark is an important example, and I can't rule out the possibility of encountering this situation in the future.
Although the probability is extremely low, as long as you are lucky enough to encounter it once, you can guarantee a small fortune!
In fact, if you can resist the stench at this time, if you cut a large piece of carrion on its body and throw it into the bay where it usually fishes, it will definitely attract a large number of fish into the bay.
I took the opportunity to catch at least twice as many fish as I normally would, but the water was still cold, and there was no urgency for food now, so it was not worth the disaster.
On the way, I heard the cry of the sheep again, and I followed the sound to see that it was still the four big sheep.
The bellies of the two ewes are round, but the lambs have not yet been born. But everything is fine, at least it proves that nothing unexpected happened.
Recently, there has been plenty of meat, and I don't plan to hit them for the time being.
Today's harvest is very impressive, in addition to harvesting a foam box and a few plastic bottles and glass bottles, a few pieces of metal iron have been removed from the large but actually useless garbage.
I have to say that there are quite a few glass bottles that have been picked up, and some of them are well sealed, which should be drifting bottles put by some people who value fate.
The cards or letters in the bottle were ruthlessly confiscated by me, which can help me pass some boring time, but some of the cards in foreign languages are really difficult to understand and have a headache, and I didn't even learn Chinese well when I read and naught, let alone foreign languages!
One of the drifting bottles I picked up today had several seed-like things in it, which made people quite curious.
I don't know what kind of seed it is, but you can only know when you plant it in the ground and wait for the seedlings to grow, but it doesn't look like a seed for some kind of food, but you can try to grow it to satisfy your curiosity.
After five or six hours, I got home, and after walking for five or six hours in a row, I was already so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back, and I put down my things and didn't care about anything else, so I ran straight to the kitchen and started to make a fire and cook.
Nowadays, the staple food of the day is still fish, and the only way is to change the variety of fish and recipes every day to try to meet the requirements of the mouth!
After the meal, a few seeds were dug in the ground and thrown into them, and whether they could germinate or not was left to God's will.
It's been a little wet after floating in the sea for so long, and I don't know if I can eat it or not, so it's just curiosity!
......
The vegetable patch near the cave needs to be taken care of again, and cassava occupies less than half of the vegetable patch, and I plan to plant cassava on the land vacated by the peanuts and corn harvest, and the peanuts are now lying on the rain cloth and basking in the sun.
At that time, I planted a small number of peanuts to get about 20 catties of peanuts, and after shelling, it was conservatively estimated that there were twelve or thirteen catties.
To be honest it is a bit less, but also to be expected. After all, you know before you sow the seeds that this season can only be used to harvest the seeds of the next season.
But in addition to two or three catties as seeds, there are still ten catties left to fight tooth sacrifices, so it is not in vain.
The peanuts are dried in the sun for a few days, and the seeds for the next season must be planted immediately.
After the urgency of this season, there is no need to be as panicked as now next year, it can be done one season a year, and it seems that the busy half a year is not completely without results!
The cassava in the field is still relatively small, only the size of a carrot, and I realized that cassava needs such a long growth period.
Coupled with the fact that it will not spoil in the field for several years, it will serve as my permanent reserve food, and it will basically take two or three years to replant a season.
At first, I didn't plan to plant cassava again, but considering the high corn plant, I was worried that frequent typhoons would increase its uncertainty, so it was necessary to plant cassava on a certain scale!
Loosening the soil and planting took two days, because the potato plants are relatively large and the planting is relatively scattered, after which I repaired the leaky grass shed, although I may not live again, but the mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace still let me make up for it, and be prepared.
At the same time, the 20 square meters of land planted with sweet potatoes were also built, and the one acre of land that was previously opened up was only a small area of sweet potatoes after planting peanuts, corn, and herbs, which was basically planned.
Corn and peanuts are one-third of the acres, that is, more than 200 square meters each, this season's crops in addition to the sweet potato seedling cycle is longer and still breeding, the early work is basically over.
The limited number of sweet potatoes only takes an hour or two to completely solve, and all that remains is to give them time to develop freely!
