Chapter 18: The Sea is the Field
On the sea, if you don't have your own father by your side.
Mars felt like he was going to be very hesitant because the sea was endless.
I don't know how to survive in this world, especially a world without even a tool, and it's a dream if you want to live with your bare hands.
"Mars, what's it in your waist?"
Lawrence and Mars had eaten, and by this time there was already a little water in the freshwater puddle, and both Mars and Lawrence had drunk a little.
During a short after-dinner break, Lawrence looked at Mars' pocket knife at his waist and asked.
Lawrence knew what his son had.
Now that there was a sudden addition of such a thing, Lawrence must have thought it strange, so he wanted to ask.
"Father, you see, this is a very sharp knife that I have picked up. ”
Mars didn't find it difficult to explain, so he simply said that he picked it up himself.
Lawrence watched as Mars showed himself the knife, and he had seen the difference in this thing with his experience.
Then he carefully received it in his hand under Mars's introduction, and then put a piece of dried fish in front of him, and began to cut it with this knife.
The knife is too small, so you can only use it to cut, because the meat is too hard, so you can't cut it.
"You picked it up, it looks very easy to use, much better than our bone knife, by the way, where did the bone knife go after you killed the fish yesterday?"
Lawrence looked at the knife in his hand, and then remembered that he had a knife at home.
But he found that he hadn't seen the knife for a day.
"Lost!"
Mars didn't know how to explain it, and then said so.
"Lost?"
"Hmm!"
Lawrence's eyes widened, and then he looked at the location of the tub, and sure enough, there was nothing in it.
What else can I do?
His own son said that he had lost it, and Lawrence couldn't teach his son a lesson!
So although I felt a little pity, I took another look at the knife in my hand and found that it was still very sharp.
Since this one is easier to use, then use this first, and then make a bone knife when you have the opportunity.
Mars waited for his father to teach him a lesson, wasting a good weapon.
However, Lawrence did not teach Mars a lesson, and did not even bother to say it.
When Mars saw such a situation, he hurriedly said, "Father, you see that this knife is hard and sharp, so I will use it for you, because I lost a substitute for a knife." ”
"No, I still have the knife. ”
Lawrence didn't feel that the knife was right for him because of what Mars said, so he directly refused.
After refusing, Lawrence returned the knife to Mars, and he himself took a smaller bone knife from his clothes.
Looking at the bone knife, Mars had no choice.
This world is like this, there is no industry, of course, there is no industry as you see it, so those industrial products are not visible at all.
The only way to make a tool is to use your current conditions.
Bone knives, on the other hand, are easier to obtain, because after hunting marine fish in the sea, their bones are often able to become their own tools.
Glancing at the bone knife in his father's hand, Mars didn't say anything, smiled at his father and put the knife back up.
It was already noon, and after eating, and a little relaxed, Mars and Lawrence began to rest.
The noon of the sea is really not suitable for going out to do things, and because of the storm, the two of them are very tired, and now they can rest.
The moving island didn't move, it was in place.
In this way, moving the reefs inside the island will attract more aquatic life.
Food, hearty food.
When Mars fell asleep, he felt like he was dreaming of being able to eat a lot of food.
When it comes to life and death, thinking about how to live, there is a place where you can be safe.
After security, the problem of various security needs of life arises at this time.
I slept until the afternoon, and the moving island did not move.
Those who rest are also in good spirits.
The only possibility is that you will be a little hungry, because you don't eat a lot of fish jerky.
"Father, shall we go to the trap?"
If the moving island doesn't move, then those fishing traps will have fish entering.
These are the sea creatures that like to burrow into burrows will arrive first, and then they will be able to attract other predators.
In this way, there will always be fish in the trap, but it will be easy for them to get in, but it will be difficult for them to get out.
"Don't be in a hurry, you let the island start to move and continue southwest. ”
Mars thought that the moving island was parked now, and that it would be just right to reap the rewards like this.
But his father let him open the island first.
This made Mars feel that his father had always wanted to go to the gathering place of mankind.
Looking at Mars's stunned expression, Lawrence guessed that his son didn't understand what he meant, so he continued: "Mars, if there are a lot of sea creatures gathered under the water, it may attract large fish, they are here to hunt, and it is very dangerous for us to go down. ”
So that's it!
"Good father, no problem!"
Mars immediately changed the expression on his face, and then began to control the movement of the moving island.
If you are afraid of danger underwater, you should not enter the water in this place.
Because there are too many carnivorous fish in this sea.
The island began to move in a southwesterly direction.
Both of them were on the moving island, but when they were sailing on the moving island, they didn't feel it moving at all, so it can only be said that the starting acceleration was a bit slow.
As the moving island began to move southwestward, the opposite direction of its movement soon changed.
In the otherwise quiet sea, I saw schools of fish, followed by large predatory fish.
Soon, the water became unsettled, and Carnivorous fish were seen chasing the fish for prey, while Mars and his father carefully remained unmoved in the stone house.
They were waiting for the sea creatures to keep chasing them so that they could go down to the sea to see if they had prepared a trap to get the most food.
If you can't feel it moving on a moving island, look at the fish following it.
If they can't move, they won't chase.
It was only in the evening that Lawrence had asked Mars to slow down the movement of the island, when the predatory fish following the island had eaten their fill.
The two of them dive down together to see how much food they could trap on the reef.
