Episode 2: First taste of coconut water
After completing the task, not only can he return home safely, but he can also get a mysterious treasure chest and obtain many rewards, it stands to reason that Cheng Fei should be excited to encounter this legendary adventure, but now he is not happy at all.
As an adult with enough thinking ability, he knows very well in his heart how much he is capable of, although his thoughts may be a little negative, but this is the reality!
Human beings are social animals, once they leave the group, they are nothing, especially in the current society, the bustling city made of steel gives us a comfortable life, but at the same time, it also imprisons our nature and makes the vast majority of people lose the ability to survive in the wild.
Making money seems to have become people's biggest specialty!
Cheng Fei is naturally no exception, although he was born in the countryside, but after more than ten years of study career, plus he has been working in the city after graduation, not to mention survival in the wild, even arable land and farming, he will not. At the moment, the only thing he had hope for was the little survival knowledge he knew, and the ground in front of him:
A woodcutter, a lighter, and a metal kettle.
This was the quest tool he got after starting the adventure mission, and just after the blue light screen disappeared, these three things appeared on the ground in front of him out of thin air.
"Gollum ......."
It's not that Cheng Fei was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva, but the sound in his stomach, although he had dinner last night, it was just an ordinary working meal, and by now, what should have been digested has already been digested cleanly.
Subconsciously, he touched his trouser pocket, he remembered that when he was working overtime in the company last night, he had stuffed half a piece of chocolate in it, and he just did it casually, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at the critical moment, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, but soon his face changed.
Because, until this time, he found that the clothes on his body were still the clothes he had when he came, a white shirt and black pants, but his pockets were empty, not only was the half of the chocolate missing, but the wallet, keys, and mobile phones were all gone, which made him can't help but curse:
"Damn it!"
Don't think about it, Cheng Fei also knows that this must be because of what adventure mission he started, but even if he knows, he has nothing to do about it, accepting reality seems to be his only choice, and .......
The feeling of being hungry is really bad, as the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. In the past twenty-six years, although Cheng Fei has not enjoyed a rich and expensive life, he has never been hungry, so he made a decision as soon as he felt hungry.
"No, we have to find something to eat!"
Before that, of course, he had to bring with him the only three tools he had to survive: a lighter stick was the only one he had at the moment, a kettle with a metal cup that he could use as a pot, and a woodcutter was the sharpest weapon he had at his disposal. There may not be any other people on this island, but if he is taken by some wild beast, he will not be able to cry.
At that moment, he put the lighter in his trouser pocket, put the kettle on his back, and picked up the woodcutter again, and then stood up and began to look at his surroundings. This is a necessary thing to do to survive on a desert island, and only by being familiar with the surrounding environment can you know where you need something.
There was no doubt that he was on an island at this time, and in front of the beach, there was a shallow sea, and the water was so clear that you could see the reef below, and there must be fish in the water, but he did not have the ability to catch fish.
Turning around, turning your back to the sea, crossing the beach, and looking into the depths of the island, you can see a large dense mountain forest, the most conspicuous of which are the tall coconut palms.
Cheng Fei's eyes lit up suddenly, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and it was only then that he realized that he was not only hungry, but also thirsty.
At this moment, it is the time when the sun is shining, the scorching sun is scorching the top of the head, like charcoal, people in this environment, the speed of water flow is at least twice as fast as usual, Cheng Fei doesn't know how long he has been here, after finding thirsty, at this moment he only feels that his throat and eyes are like a fire.
Although he is surrounded by the ocean, even if he does not have much experience in the wilderness, he clearly knows that seawater cannot be directly drunk, not only because there are many harmful substances in seawater, but also because seawater contains a lot of salt.
Salt is a good thing, but you can't eat too much, and if you exceed the limit, it will cause serious illness.
The salt content of seawater accounts for about 3.5 percent, while the salt concentration of human body fluids is only 0.9 percent, which is nearly four times the salinity of the human body, which means that the body has to excrete three times more fresh water as much seawater as a person drinks!
In other words, drinking seawater is equivalent to drinking water to quench your thirst!
But as mentioned in the task prompt, people cannot be short of water, especially in today's hot environment, an adult needs to drink at least two to three liters of fresh water a day to maintain a normal metabolism.
Although it has been stated in the task prompt he received that there are plenty of fresh water resources on this island, it is not something that can be found in a while, in contrast, the coconut tree is right in front of him, which is undoubtedly the best water source to obtain, which naturally surprised Cheng Fei very much.
The thought of being able to drink delicious fresh coconut water right away made him feel energetic all over his body, and he hurriedly walked towards the tall and conspicuous coconut trees. It's just that after only a few steps, he couldn't help but stop again, because his shoes and socks were filled with sand, which was very uncomfortable.
took off his shoes and socks, poured out the sand inside, and put them on again, Cheng Fei continued to move forward, but he didn't take a few steps, and the shoes and socks were filled with sand.
The mountains and forests were full of thorns, and the ground was uneven, and he did not dare to go in barefoot, in case he stepped on some spiky poisonous weeds, the joke would be a big joke.
Continuing to move forward, it was not until he came to the front of the mountain forest that Cheng Fei found that the number of coconut trees in the forest was far more than he imagined, and they could be regarded as a small forest, and almost every coconut tree had hanging fruits on it, and there were also those falling on the ground, but most of them had withered and yellowed.
Although he has no experience in surviving in the wild, but at this time, he did not have any idea of picking up cheap, first, many years of life experience told him that it is better to eat fresh; second, although most of the coconut trees in the forest are very tall, but there are also a few relatively short, and even one of them can easily pick the coconut on the tree as long as he raises his hand, he is not without choice.
At that moment, Cheng Fei spotted a relatively large coconut, raised the woodcutter in his hand and went to chop, this knife is worthy of being a special task prop for adventurers, far sharper than he imagined, with just one knife, the coconut fell from the tree and fell to the ground.
Ignoring the sharpness of the woodcutter, Cheng Fei hurriedly squatted down, put the knife aside, he picked up the big coconut and shook it vigorously, and there was a loud sound inside, indicating that there was not only juice in it, but also a lot. Without saying a word, he put the coconut on the ground again, held it down with one hand, and began to chop with the other hand with a woodcutter.
The shell of the coconut is very hard, especially the coconut pit, which has a lot of walnuts. Fortunately, the woodcutter in Cheng Fei's hand was sharp enough to allow a rookie like him to smoothly cut a gap.
"It's on!"
Seeing this, Cheng Fei was very surprised, and hurriedly put down the woodcutter, held the coconut with both hands, and swallowed the sweet and sweet juice in a big gulp, this feeling is really wonderful, for Cheng Fei, who is thirsty and about to burn, this coconut water is like the elixir and jade dew in myths and legends!
Fresh coconut water is more nutritious than ordinary fresh water, its composition is similar to blood, and during World War II, medical staff even used coconut water to provide meridian injections.
It's a pity that the amount is too small, there are only two or three hundred milliliters of coconut water in a green coconut, Cheng Fei drank it in a few sips, and he was still not satisfied, so he quickly picked another one, and concocted it in the same way, he drank the juice in three coconuts in a row, and then he was a little full.
At this time, he was able to calm down and start thinking about his next path to survival on a desert island.........
