When Li Suyun returned to the cabin, she saw that Jiang Jianlong had tied the big bird's feet with a shoelace under his feet. ”

Jiang Jianlong said: "I think so, now we have two choices, one is to kill this cormorant directly, then we will have a big meal today, and there is another choice, that is, to raise this cormorant, and then train it, if the training is good, we will not worry about running out of fish to eat in the future." ”

Li Suyun said: "I think we should train this cormorant, but I'm hungry now, what should I do?" ”

Jiang Jianlong said: "There is still a fish on the tidal flat, which this cormorant has just caught, and it is estimated that it is still on the tidal flat, so we can eat it first." ”

When Li Suyun heard this, he said: "Then raise this cormorant, we can train it in the future, and after ignoring it for a big meal, I think some gains outweigh the losses." ”

Jiang Jianlong said: "I think the same way. ”

Then the two men walked out of the cabin and onto the tidal flats, where they found that the one who had just escaped from the cormorant's mouth was a silver-white fish, which was slender in appearance, with a relatively large head, black and white skin, large eyes and a mouth with long teeth, and a slender finbone covered with a transparent membrane. It has no scales, but its whole body is as white as snow.

Jiang Jianlong took the silver and white fish to the beach and washed it, then skewered the silver and white fish with a relatively smooth branch, and then took it to the fire in the cabin to roast it. After a few minutes, the fish is grilled, only to see that the flesh of the silver white fish is snow-white, delicate, delicious, it is a treasure of the Antarctic sea, and the grilled fish exudes the unique salty taste of sea fish. After the two of them had eaten the silver fish, they looked at the cormorant with its feet still tied and began to discuss how to train it.

Li Suyun said: "When I used to teach in the countryside, I saw an old man who raised cormorants by the river, and I remember the old man telling me that cormorants are very easy to domesticate, and the way to domesticate cormorants is to catch them, raise them for a few days, and let them be tamed. During training, the cormorant's feet are first tied with a long rope, and the other end of the rope is tied to the shore of the river harbor. Just drive it into the water and tell it to go fishing. When the fish is caught, the trainers, making a special cry from their mouths, call the cormorant back to shore and feed it with small fish. After eating, rush into the water to catch fish.

After about half a month, I drove it into the water to catch fish. First untie the rope from the foot, and then put a ring around its head and neck, so that it can only swallow small fish, not large fish. ”

Jiang Jianlong said: "I don't have the confidence that I can tame it in half a month, but we can fish according to the method you heard the old man say, we directly tie a rope to its leg, once we know that it has caught a fish by diving, when its body rises to the surface, we can immediately pull him up to prevent it from swallowing the fish." ”

Li Suyun said: "I think this is fine, but where do we find such a long rope, and this rope must be thin." ”

Jiang Jianlong said: "I have thought of this for a long time, I still have a sweater in my luggage, we can disassemble the sweater, and then get a long wool, but it is very difficult to disassemble the sweater." ”

Li Suyun said: "Then I'll dismantle it, after all, girls' hands are more flexible." ”

Jiang Jianlong said: "Okay, then it's decided, you will unpack your sweater in the cabin in the morning, and I will go to the island to get some ice and snow and come back to make drinking water, and by the way, explore to see if there are other resources on the island." ”

After Li Suyun heard this, he nodded and said, "The peak of the island is windy and cold, and the road is rugged and steep, you have to pay more attention and pay attention to safety." ”

Jiang Jianlong smiled slightly and said, "Got it." ”

Jiang Jianlong wanted to come back with a little more ice and snow, he emptied all the contents of his plastic suitcase, and then he carried the empty suitcase and said to Li Suyun: "Or bring a little more ice and snow back, and use this suitcase to fill it with ice and snow once, I estimate that we can drink for several days." ”

Li Suyun saw it and said: "It's a good way, but when you come down, it will definitely be very heavy, the road is uneven along the way, you can only drag it all the way back, can you afford it?" ”

Jiang Jianlong said: "There should be no problem, I can handle it." ”

Li Suyun just said lightly: "I hope so." ”

Jiang Jianlong then made some preparations before departure, and began to walk towards the peak of the desert island.

However, this time he did not follow the route he took in the direction of the summit with Li Suyun last time, he chose a more steep and rugged route, the reason why he chose this route was because he had never gone there, this time he went to the summit with an empty suitcase, he could take advantage of this opportunity to go to the summit of the island, while exploring other places on the island, while climbing to the peak of the desert island to get ice and snow.

Fortunately, when Jiang Jianlong walked for less than an hour on this route that he had never walked, he suddenly found a naturally formed small pond on the mountainside, the area of this small pond was very small, only less than thirty or forty square meters, as large as a bedroom at home, but Jiang Jianlong saw that the water in this pond was very deep, and very clean, and he could see the bottom at a glance. He couldn't help but get up like a cow drinking water, fell to his knees on the ground, hung his head on the edge of the pond, and his lips touched the water in the pond directly, sucking the water in the pond.

Although he felt cold between his mouths, it did not affect him to continue to drink with his head down. After he finished drinking, he filled half of the box of water in his suitcase, and walked excitedly down the island mountain, he thought about it while walking, feeling that he was really stupid, since he already knew that there were so many ice and snow covered on the peak of the desert island, then the water flowed down, and the melted ice and snow would definitely flow to a certain low-lying place, forming a small pond, after Jiang Jianlong found this pond, he was sure in his heart that there must be several such ponds on this desert island, but he didn't find it.

When Jiang Jianlong returned to the cabin with half a tank of water on his back, he found that Li Suyun had dismantled one of his sweaters into a roll of wool, Li Suyun saw that Jiang Jianlong came back so soon, she couldn't help asking: "Are you too fast, have you gone to the top of the island?" ”

Jiang Jianlong put down the plastic suitcase containing half a box of water, and replied with a smile on his face: "No, but I found a water source halfway up the mountainside, and there is a small pond there, I think it should be formed by melting the ice and snow on the peak of the desert island." ”

Li Suyun exclaimed excitedly, "Really." ”

Jiang Jianlong nodded.

When Li Suyun saw it, he hugged Jiang Jianlong like a child and said, "Great, great, we have water to drink." ”
