Volume 1 Chapter 14 The Crisis Is Over
But in the past two days, I have also caught a total of about 30 catties of various fish, which has suddenly increased the amount of fish, and I have even started to evaluate the meat quality and taste of various marine fish, and choose which of them tastes better, which meat is firmer and more elastic, I have to say that this is an alternative luxury!
What makes me feel unfair is that the fish caught the most are mediocre fish such as pomfret and sea bass, and the pomfret is okay to eat, and I thought it was delicious at first, but after a long time, I felt that it was very ordinary.
I didn't see a single good fish like tuna and cod, and even the grouper was lucky enough to meet two.
The fish that can't be eaten is still dried fish, but this time the method may be more appropriate, before smoking and roasting, a layer of salt is smeared on the surface of the meat, and the taste of the dried fish does not have a little smell like before, and the salt may play a role in pickling.
In the last few days, the food has not been worried, but the monotony of the food is distressing, and there is almost no second option other than fish every day.
The mango trees are almost clean, and the coconut is getting harder and harder to come by, and my life is full of all kinds of fish, even when I dream at night, I think about how to make better fish......
Around four or five o'clock in the morning, when I was sleeping soundly, a sudden thunder woke me up from my sweet dream, and I was startled at the same time!
Louder and louder and denser thunder followed, accompanied by strong winds, which made me feel cold in the cave, so I had to rummage through my bag and put a piece of clothing on my body!
The rain on the sea never gives people a little affection, and it is also mixed with strong winds, and the sound of wind and rain is mixed with thunder and lightning, just like the scene of the tragedy in a TV series.
Although it didn't affect me much, it was definitely impossible to fall asleep again, so I had to wait until dawn.
Fortunately, the cave is located on the mountainside, and the wind is much smaller than the top of the mountain and some places with less vegetation, and most of it is blocked by trees.
This position made me feel that I didn't need to worry about anything if it didn't rain in the cave anyway, but I thought I was admiring the heavy rain inside.
As an inland person, it is rare to see this kind of wind and rain, and I feel a little excited inexplicably, which may be an alternative psychology to watch the excitement.
But before I could be happy for a few minutes, a strong wind swept the rain into the hole, and although it didn't get me wet, there were many more droplets on my face and body.
......
Luckily, I was still on the inside of the cave, but the worst thing was that nearly half of the outside of the cave was soaked with rain, and my excitement was extinguished by the rain in a few minutes!
Okay, I'll take back that sentence......
In order to stay as dry as possible, and to prevent this from happening again, the hay and various items and firewood in the cave had to be transferred to the inside of the cave, but the limited space was further occupied, and the whole person could only lie on his side in the cave and could not move.
It's so crowded that it's hard to even turn over, and it's likely to stay in this uncomfortable position until dawn!
The uncomfortable position made it difficult to fall asleep, and I waited and waited, but the time passed very slowly, but after dawn it was not as sunny as I had hoped!
Although the rain after dawn is much lighter than before dawn, it is also maintained at the moderate rain level, don't think about going out, this rain is estimated to be a long time coming.
After dawn, I could see things, and the rain had lightened, so I began to move some of my things to the outside of the cave again and put them away, and finally the cave was back to its normal posture and I was able to sleep normally.
The drought of more than ten days finally ended with the arrival of this heavy rain, and there was no sign of rain before dark yesterday, which made me think that it might take a few more days to wait for this emergency rain, and it seems that there was a mistake in judgment.
Although the drought didn't have a big impact on me, it was a bit of panic at first, and thankfully I found a pair of fishing nets on the beach, so there was never a big shortage of food, otherwise I don't know what life would have been.
The drought did delay me a lot of time, and it took me two or three days to accumulate it, and although I didn't do anything every day, I felt that two or three days were very important.
However, these are all natural disasters, and it is not something that I can stop as a mortal, so I can only be glad that it has finally rained from heaven......
This is something to be happy about, the crisis has finally been resolved!!
While there is still a little bit of hunger in my stomach, I am ready to continue to sleep for a while, and the recent ups and downs have kept the strings in my heart tight, which is not a good thing in terms of health.
......
In fact, I sleep for a long time every night, basically about 10 hours, and even longer at some nights, but no matter how long it is, I can't stand my insomnia, sometimes I can only sleep for three or five hours a night, and it's basically because of fatigue.
As the rain weakened and slowly adapted to the sound of the rain and wind, I fell asleep again in just a few minutes, I have to say that sleeping on a rainy day is a very comfortable thing, I used to like to sleep on a rainy day, listening to the sound of rain outside, I can soon fall asleep.
When I woke up, it was almost noon, and I hadn't slept so well for a long time, so I was in the best state of mind!
I don't think the rain will stop yet, but my stomach is already reminding me that I should show something!
There was no wind and rain in the early morning, and there was no need to worry about the rain in the cave anymore, so I boldly smoked some dry firewood from the firewood pile and made a small fire on the outside of the cave.
Just lighting a fire in it will smoke a lot of smoke, but in order to eat a bite of hot food, it seems that the effort is proportional to the gain.
In terms of food, I am afraid that I can only choose dried fish, although cassava is a better choice, but because the fire is relatively small, it is too difficult to bake.
Cassava is usually tossed into hot ash for slow roasting like a roasted sweet potato, while dried fish is much simpler, it only needs to be roasted over the fire for a few minutes before eating.
If the dried fish is fried in oil, it is a very good snack and a dish, but it is not only very hard but also has a strong smoke smell when it is roasted hard, and there are many burnt places......
Now I just want to complain why there is such a tragic experience, thinking of other people's desert island trips are full of fantasy and happiness, all kinds of cheats and plug-ins!
Look at my situation again, I started empty-handed, all kinds of resources are scarce, everything needs to be explored and accumulated by myself, I just want to cry without tears!
People are more infuriating than people......
In the afternoon, it seems extremely boring to nest in a cave, in the absence of modern electronic devices, farewell to mobile phones, farewell to electricity, life seems to have lost color.
......
While I was flipping through my old memories, I put buckets and other containers in the right place, and after the rain, I simply began to expand the cave again, anyway, the excavated soil can be pushed directly outside, which is quite worry-free.
Each expansion was carried out during the rain, which not only killed the boredom, but also made progress, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
The rain lasted longer than I had imagined, and the day was almost over, and there was no intention of stopping when it was almost dark, but I was able to wash the dirt off my body again.
In the morning, I thought that if the rain stopped in the afternoon, I would go to the beach to dig oysters, but I planned to go straight to the soup, and nothing was accomplished on this day except for the cave that was expanded for three or five hours!
It seems that I can't sleep too long at a time, I slept too long yesterday and borrowed all my sleep today, and I can't sleep before dawn today.
However, I was glad to find that the weather had cleared up in the second half of the night, and I didn't want to spend another day in this narrow cave, it was so uncomfortable!
It's acceptable to sleep at night, because you can't feel crowded even when you fall asleep, but it's too crowded as a place for daytime activities, especially when there are piles of firewood and various items, dried fish, cassava, etc.!
As soon as the morning dawned, I filtered out the rainwater that I received in the bucket yesterday, and I didn't have to go up the mountain again, because the woods after the rain must be slippery and muddy and not suitable for walking.
Considering this situation, today I am mainly planning to go to the beach to see, and I want to eat oysters and leeches from the seaside.
Today's breakfast is extraordinarily rich, because I didn't eat well all day yesterday, and I drank a stomach of cold water, roasted two cassava and a slice of dried fish and boiled the stomach, and finally recovered again.
As I expected, the path in the woods was very difficult, and the way down to the beach not only covered my feet with mud, but I almost fell on all fours if I didn't pay attention!
......
The scene by the sea is very different, the cloudless sky and the magnificence of the sea, combined with the smoke rising after the rain, form a very wonderful picture, which makes people unconsciously indulge in it!
This kind of scene can be said to be the scenery that I dreamed of seeing before, and although I realized my occasional fantasy in this way, it is still extremely uncost-effective compared to the two.
There wasn't much to catch on the beach, so I picked up two plastic bottles, after all, they've been coming too often lately, and the speed of drifting in them is far from keeping up with the speed of searching.
There is also a reason why there are so many plastic bottles on the beach, most of the garbage will absorb enough seawater over time, add its own weight and finally sink to the bottom of the sea.
Bottles with caps don't have to worry about this, they will drift with the tide until they degrade or break by external forces and sink into the sea, otherwise they will drift until they reach a certain land point before stopping their journey.
I dug two catties of oysters on the reef and pulled out one or two catties of leeches from the beach with salt.
Eating the same food for a long time is bound to get tired, even through different methods, it can't change this established fact, because the taste can't be changed.
