Chapter 4 Charcoal-grilled lobster

This is the first time I have put theory into practice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Of course, I mean something like this almost bare hand catching lobster.

Lobsters have a rather hard armor that is used to protect their soft bodies. The two tentacles on the top of the head, which sway with the current like antennas, are not actually as soft as they seem. This is something I experienced first-hand when I was a work-study.

At that time, I was working part-time at a hotel with a few roommates. The main task is to serve the food to the guests. Lobster is ordered almost every time. And the tentacles of those lobsters are covered with tiny spikes. As long as one is not careful, scratching the hand is light. So in the face of this lobster in front of me, I have to be 120,000 careful.

The lobster's tentacles, like most insects on land, are used to perceive their surroundings. So now I just need to make a slightly larger current, and that's going to alarm it. And as long as it runs, I think it is impossible to catch up with the speed of the hands and feet.

Carefully swimming to the top of the lobster, I had to surface again for ventilation. This process is very important. Now that I've determined the location of my prey, I've locked on it. Then there's no need to rush. Float to the surface of the water for a breath to ensure that you can fully recuperate and consume the fight in the water. That's all that matters.

Floating to the surface to catch my breath, I dived into the water once more with my earthen spear in hand. And at this time, the lobster seems to have waited for its prey, a small fish.

Now I feel like I am God, able to look down on the many beings below, and to be able to control their fate at will. Like this lobster below me. It may not even know that while it captures its prey, it will also be captured by me. And after it eats that little fish, it will also be eaten by me.

It went very well.

Three of the four bamboo thorns on the lotus head are inserted into the body of the lobster. After a little underwater struggle, I finally got the little overlord in the shallows out of the water.

Lobsters that come out of the water are much larger than those seen in the water. This means that I can eat a full meal at noon and have enough energy.

After swimming back to shore with my lunch and briefly handling the lobster, it was inevitable that I would start a fire again.

I can't take the fire that rose last night with me. The uncertainties during this period are simply too great. I don't have a container to keep the tinder. If I had just used my hands like that, the strong sea breeze would have blown it out not long before I set off. These factors make it necessary to repeat last night's work once again.

I won't say more about the process of drilling wood for fire. But trust me, it's a very painful process. Thankfully, though, I've found some tricks. These tricks will allow me to light a fire more than twice as fast as I did last night. And this method of making a fire will be mentioned later.

The fire was soon lit. I found a palm leaf. Spread it out on the side and place the lobster on top. This way, the lobster will not stick to the sand due to direct contact with the ground, nor will it be scorched due to direct contact with fire.

After a simple roasting, the lobster shell quickly turns from its original off-white to white. And that means it's cooked.

Use your diving knife against the hard shell and slap your palm downward. The tip of the knife effortlessly pierced through the armor and plunged into it.

The shell is torn open, revealing the milky white flesh inside. And as an experienced person, I sane didn't choose to eat it right away. Because......

Hot mouth.

I cut off the lobster's head and put it in front of me with a knife and fork to take a closer look.

In some books, it is written that the head of a lobster is rich in many things. I'm not interested in any of that. Because as far as I know, shrimp is a creature that is covered in flesh except for its head and legs. But it is precisely because of this that its stomach, or stored feces. Where should it be? Of course, it doesn't mean that everything else is clean. The back of the shrimp will have a black thread-like thing. If I'm not mistaken, that thing should be rectum or something like that, if not the large intestine.

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, this lobster is quite big. It's estimated that it's almost two pounds. Excluding the head, it should weigh two or three taels of pounds. This amount of meat is enough for me to have a full meal, and even be rich.

However, I have to say here that the most important thing in surviving in the wild is to feed yourself as much as possible. The advantage of this is that it allows your body to store more energy for more unknown things to come.

What does lobster meat taste like? No salt, a bit light. Slightly sweet. But I'm not going to use sea water for seasoning. The sea water can't be drunk, so it's nonsense to use it for seasoning. But if I don't get the salt for a long time, I'll have to use some dirt to get some salt out. But I don't have the intention to do that right now.

An hour and a half ago it was a live crayfish, and now it only takes me twenty minutes to turn it into a food that provides calories to my body.

The law of the jungle eats the strong. I wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, but I couldn't help it and burped. I'm sorry Brother Lobster. But to be a part of my body and take you out of the ocean and on land. It's your pleasure.

Alright, continue my quest for survival.

By this time, the sun had already begun to tilt. That means I still have about an hour to act. If I couldn't find anyone to call for help in that hour's time, I would have to spend another two or three hours setting up shelter. and making fires. So I have to move faster now. For this reason, I had to abandon the water source on my body, the coconut. As well as something that is not particularly needed. For example, plant fibers are used to make fires.

But before I left, I snapped off the two long tentacles on the lobster's head.

I don't know what these two whiskers are for now. But I know that something like this, which is sharp and hard, is something that I can't do with my bare hands now. If you take it now, it will definitely be useful in the future.

Putting two tentacles in the pockets of his pajamas, the buddy carried the only diving knife and hit the road again.

Unfortunately, when the sun was about to go down to sea level, I still didn't find a single person. That meant I had to spend a second night in this hellish place. A worm chirps and a bird calls the beast's hair. Spring nights.

I stopped and began to look for a place to set up a makeshift shelter. And it was at this time that I suddenly remembered a very serious problem. That's what I can leave behind in every place I live to show me the way. That way, if someone finds out where I live, they can follow the markers and save me.

Damn, I didn't think of this solution last night.

"Stupid." He cursed to himself.

The time before the submission of the dissertation is constantly decreasing. And all I'm concerned about now is how to find people and get out of this hellish place. And I swear that I will never yearn for the sea again except this time. There is even some disgust.

A makeshift shelter was erected not far from the sea.

One of the best aspects of setting up a shelter not far from the sea is to be able to observe the movement of the sea at any time.

Of course, it's not about watching if a tsunami is coming – and that's certainly going to work. However, at such a distance from the sea, even if the tsunami really comes, it will not be able to run. Besides, depending on the topography here, as well as the state of growth of plants by the sea. I can say that there will be no tsunami in this area. The most direct reason why we want to build a shelter near the sea is to be able to see the movement on the sea. If there were ships at sea, I would be able to call for help in time.

By the way, with that said, I still need to make something. This thing allows me to help me call for help when I spot a ship on the surface.

This thing is called wolf smoke.

Of course, this kind of thing is only called by Chinese. There are many ways to use smoke as a signal around the world. I won't give examples here. What I'm going to do now is build a temporary beacon. Then light it when you see the boat.

The beacon is naturally as big as possible for ships far away on the sea. And according to the normal construction method, I need to put this beacon as high as possible. This way, the ship will be able to see it from a great distance. And my chances of being rescued will increase accordingly.

But it's too late. I was surrounded by a forest with a reef in front of me. The highest place can only be the canopy behind me. But there's no way I'm going to put such a thing up in the canopy.

The difficulty coefficient is too high, and the concubine can't do it.

I found a lot of combustibles around.

It is said to be combustible, that is, some branches and leaves. And it must also be dry and flammable.

This is a call for help at night. At night, the call for help depends on the fire, and it is the light. Only a certain level of flare will attract the attention of ships on the surface of the sea in the distance. Unlike the daytime, the visibility of the fire during the day is too small, so it can only be marked with smoke.

It took half an hour to build the beacon. However, it is called a beacon, but in fact, it is to push together things that can be burned to ensure that they can be ignited in an instant. That's all.

However, in order to ensure that the beacon can be lit at any time, I also need to cover it with some leaves. Avoid getting it wet at night when it rains. 、

With all this in place, there was still about an hour before it got completely dark. And during this time, in order to survive. Dude, gotta find something to eat again.
