After a short break, seeing that it was still early, I started to look for a second target, but after two or three hours of walking, I didn't find any other new target.

It's impossible to have such good luck every time, they are there waiting for me to harvest, and if there is no suitable goal, I can only give up and continue to act!

The last crocodile was searched for three days to meet the hunting conditions, and it is reasonable that it was not found for a day.

However, it was originally planned to continue the next day, but when I woke up, I found that I had a cold!

Even if the body is weak, it is accompanied by coughing from time to time, and it is obviously no longer suitable for continuing hunting, because a cough can completely expose the hidden self.

The cold in summer is relatively good, at least it will not feel cold when it is touched by cold water, but the speed of recovery is no different, and it has only improved after five days, and the cough still has not stopped.

I had no choice but to stay at home, occasionally taking care of the crops in the field, and pouring the collected manure on the corn and vegetables to increase fertility.

The main crops are in the newly cultivated land, and I feel that the growth is much better than last season, and the newly cultivated land is indeed more fertile than the land that has been planted for a few years!

It seems that there is something to do in the period of time just after the Chinese New Year, and in order to get more production, I think I will definitely continue to open up the wasteland.

In the interval of taking care of the crops, the potatoes of the first season can also be harvested, and this time it is still more than 300 catties in the normal state, if it is not for the fact that it cannot be stored for a long time like corn, I must have planted it for half an acre.

So recently, life has changed a little better, there are potatoes to be used as a staple food, steamed potatoes every day, baked potatoes in various ways to eat, feast!

......

At the end of the month, I began to regroup, ready to go hunting again, there are still about 100 catties of meat at home, and the meat after smoking will shrink significantly, and only 120 catties are left when the last 200 catties of fish are smoked and preserved.

It's still staggering to consume, and there are enough empty containers for meat.

This time the process was particularly smooth, the day after the departure I saw a female crocodile again, this is still the result of releasing the water, if it is not specifically to hunt the female crocodile, yesterday can be a male crocodile can be solved!

Similar to the previous one, it is also in the shadow at the foot of the mountain, and the temperature in July and August is quite high, not to mention the sunlight that can dry people's skin, and the animals know how to find a place to hide.

This also created another opportunity for me, after the last miss, I was more cautious before shooting the arrow to avoid missing the opportunity again!

The temperature was too high to hunt, and missing an opportunity would mean spending a lot of time and energy looking around, which I obviously didn't want to do.

Aiming for nearly ten seconds, the arrow that went out did not disappoint me, only to hear the sound of "poof", very pleasant!

After a fairly easy fight, it turned into a trophy.

This crocodile is about the same size as the first one, both of which are more than 400 pounds, and its belly is even bigger.

After opening the belly, I found that there were a lot of crocodile eggs, and at most a month later, they would give birth to calves and then become baby crocodiles, and when they grew up, the situation was unimaginable!

There are two female crocodiles on the island, and after clearing one, the risk of the baby crocodile is still half, but it seems that it can only be given up in the last month or two, and it is really unbearable!

......

After a few tosses, I felt like I was suffering from dehydration and even heat stroke, and now is clearly not the right time for this kind of ultra-intense work, and the crocodiles are still being handled in the open air.

I was worried that I would suddenly suffer from heat stroke while handling the fish, faint on the beach and die in the belly of the fish!

The next action can only be carried out after rain or cloudy days to avoid the impact of too much heat on the body.

After more than an hour of busyness, the fish was finally cut into several pieces and moved to the hillside, where you could rest for a while to cool down your body.

However, this ass almost couldn't get up again when I sat on the ground, if I hadn't hurriedly pinched my own human center and tiger's mouth, and poured two sips of cold water to cool down, I wouldn't have ended up with this pile of crocodile meat today!

Thankfully, I was able to stop the danger in time because of my quick response, which only made me more aware of the risks of catching crocodiles this season.

I have to say that heat stroke in the summer is a big trouble for me, and what is even more troublesome is that there is no means to prevent it.

By the time all the crocodile meat is shipped home, it is already afternoon, and there is no time to rest too much, and the fish will taste good in a few hours, and the meat must be processed quickly.

This busy work was almost dark, and fortunately all kinds of things were over.

......

In August, the crocodile meat caught this time has been dried into jerky, and the meat from the last time has not been eaten, and there is no shortage of bacon for the time being.

It is obviously not realistic to smoke it slowly to make bacon when the temperature is too high, and it may spoil during the period before it is ready, so simply blanch it and cut it into slices and dry it into jerky, making it a reserve that can be kept for a longer time.

The type is a bit like beef jerky, which can be stored for a long time, and when you need to eat it, you can add water and stew for half an hour to return to its original size, except that it does not taste as good as bacon, and there are many benefits.

After processing all the crocodile meat into jerky, I began to bring back the bark that I had soaked half a month ago from the puddle and prepared to make some more straw paper.

The use of paper is no longer limited to making hand paper, but now it is more versatile, sometimes used to write and draw, to make sure that your writing ability is still there, or to make some sketches.

It's also used to write down things, or make memos and sticky notes and things like that, to remind me when I should do something, so that I don't forget the time-conscious things.

Many of the skills that were four or five years ago on the island have slowly degraded unconsciously, and the things I do every day are more manifested in physical strength, just to fill my stomach and survive!

......

Writing is better, many times I will write something, but many of the previous techniques have been forgotten to varying degrees, and it is difficult to even speak as fluently as before......

Even if I'm not working, I'll talk to the sea, to chickens or sheep, or even to the woods, but that doesn't change the dilemma of no one to talk to!

The decline in language skills is an indisputable fact, and I can't change it at all, even if I occasionally talk to myself.

If someone talks to me at this moment, you will definitely find that there will be a slight miscommunication, which is not the most terrible, and what is even more terrifying is that with the solitude of many years on the island, will you completely lose your ability to speak after a few years!

Of course, what I can do is to keep myself normal, as long as I am clear-headed, and I can at least ensure that my language talent is not completely lost!

This is my bottom line, I don't want to be discovered by other people one day, even if I can't shake a few words of English, at least I can express the meaning clearly in Chinese, instead of being treated as a wild man.

In addition to the deterioration of speaking skills, there is also a change in personality, I feel more withdrawn than before, and I even clearly feel that if someone suddenly comes to me, I will be scared deep down!

This kind of fear is not the kind of fear on the surface, but the overwhelmed character, living in this kind of place for a long time, not wanting to change it, all this is the result of subtlety.

I was forced to accept it!

......

After spending three days making more than ten catties of straw paper, I plan to make ten more eight clay pots and clay pots, and there are a lot of other pottery, but the consumption of pottery used for cooking is relatively large, and basically one will be scrapped in one or two months, or even shorter.

In the process of drying the pottery, it is the middle of August, an unforgettable time, an unforgettable experience!

Four years have passed since the ship was in distress and stranded on this desert island, four years is not a long time, and it is only one-twentieth of a person's life!

Four years is also a long time, almost 1,500 days and nights, and many things in this world can be completed in this time, even if a hundred-story building is built, it will not take so long.

At the same time, he left the best period of his life here, and of course, he is likely to stay here forever for the rest of his life!

It's a sad story!

Every year I have passed, I always have some emotion in my heart, and I have wasted a year aimlessly on this island, but I am also glad that I am still alive, and at the same time, I have lowered my expectations for being able to leave here!!

Every time I think about this, I can only persuade myself to calm down, at least compared to those who died at sea, I am still lucky, at least still alive.

......

Just when I was happy that the corn harvest would be home in two days, a new typhoon hit!

This time the situation is different, I am not worried about the arrival of the typhoon at all, and I said that the two days of maturity are to make the corn fuller, and the drier the husk, the easier it is to break the corn, and it will not drag the mud and water.

Even now, the harvest is completely complete, and the process of the typhoon is not a moment and a half, and by the time the strong wind that can harm the corn arrives, it will already be the day after tomorrow.

Hehe, I didn't expect God to just play a joke, when I was making all kinds of preparations for the typhoon, the typhoon turned around and went in the other direction, a false alarm!

This made me a little surprised and at the same time a little lucky, the corn was spared, not to be crushed by the typhoon, at least it was a lot less effort to harvest, at least there was no need to squat on the ground and pull it from the corn stalk one by one!

Besides, it is more troublesome to deal with the corn stalk in the future, fortunately, fortunately......

The corn is ripe first, which means that this year's food is completely guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about the situation like last year!

There are only more than 100 catties of corn left in the house, and if it is not ripe, I will not be able to sleep every night, and its ripening time can be described as quite timely.

Every time there was a significant drop in food quantities, I was very worried, and it was heartbreaking to keep myself from going hungry.

This season's corn was planted in the newly opened land at the beginning of the year, and the planting area also reached more than 400 square meters, and the yield must have far exceeded that of last year, and it was stronger than the bumper harvest of the previous year.

After drying, it is about 800 catties, plus one or two hundred catties left over from last year, almost close to the 1,000-pound mark, it is undeniable that I was frightened, this should be the highest corn yield in the island in several years!
