Chapter 173: Island Life
When they first landed on Horseshoe Island, they immediately experienced the power of the rainstorm, and when they went to bed at night, they found that the warm beach during the day had become extremely wet and cold.
Ever since I went north to experience the comfortable sleep brought by the hammock, it has become an indispensable piece of equipment, and this time I fell on a desert island, which also came in handy. I slept in a comfortable hammock until midnight, and suddenly the stars disappeared, as if the fish had been caught in a net, and there was not a single one left. Then the moon also disappeared, and the sky began to rain.
The sudden rain poured down the soup chickens, and all the frightened people immediately threw themselves in front of the fire. But the trees above the fire were so soaked by the rain that they were about to go out. If the fire is extinguished, the people who are drenched in the heavy rain will have to freeze and catch a cold after a cold night. He hurriedly took off his waterproof coat and let the monkey stand on top of the fire with Zha Ling'er, and then beckoned the fat man to run to the distant woods together.
There were huge plantain leaves in the woods, which could be used to shelter from the rain, and after the fat man quickly chopped a few with a short knife, we dragged the huge plantain leaves back to the camp and covered the plantain leaves above the fire.
The fire was saved, and Shower ran like a naughty child, improvised to make a fuss, and fled quickly. The people, who were all wet, had to go into the woods again, pick up a few thick branches, stick them in the ground near the fire, and tie ropes on them to make clotheslines. Take off your soaked clothes and hang them on a makeshift clothesline to bake.
The fat man was wearing **, turned around and pouted his ass directly, and baked it close to the fire. As a result, everyone learned the same. All pouting butts, close to the fire. Only Zha Ling'er turned around and ran away because she was shy.
The warmth of the flames drove away the chill in the body. The dried clothes were put on my body again, and at this time, it was already the second half of the night!
The sun seems to rise very early on Horseshoe Rainforest Island, but we are not awakened by the bright sunshine, but by the early morning rain.
The rainforest, as it deserves, was originally intended to be explored, and decided to build a house and then explore.
Because I don't know how long I'll be stuck here. Then it rains all day and night, so it's essential to build a house that can shelter from the wind and rain.
The so-called building of a house is actually just a simple roof of shelter from the rain by using ropes, some dead tree trunks, and banana leaves. Just built a simple wool straw roof, everyone was busy all day, the key is because they are all new hands, and there is a lack of necessary materials.
But. The hard work is not in vain, and it is quite worth it. As we were erecting the house, it suddenly began to rain in the clear sky without warning, and everyone had to hide under the half-built roof to make a fire. I immediately felt that the decision to build a house was the right one.
For dinner, I ate crabs again, but sea crabs, which were very small in size. Only half the size of a palm, it was found by monkeys in a shallow water gully beneath the rocks. The crab legs are delicious. However, the internal organs, which should be extremely delicious, were so bitter that Zha Ling'er gargled her mouth with seawater for a long time. And at the same time, we discovered. Fresh water is likely to be the biggest problem we will be stuck in next.
Seventh Master said that there was no way, in case the ship could find us very late, we could only catch the rain to drink.
At night, everyone slept under the roof made of banana leaves and grass, and soon fell asleep. Sure enough, in the middle of the night, it started to rain again, but with the shelter roof, we can sleep peacefully and replenish our body so that we can explore on Horseshoe Island tomorrow.
In the early morning, everyone stretched their waists and jumped off the hammocks. Breakfast ends hastily and then it's time to get ready for an adventure to the semi-circular island on the other side of Horseshoe Island.
However, everyone was worried that if all the people went to explore the island, they would not miss the ship that was looking for them.
Zha Qiye said that the ships looking for people will definitely go ashore to recruit people, and we just need to leave a message.
When we rented a boat, we said that we were going to sea to look for people on various islands. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it takes a certain amount of time to go to the island to find people, at least half a day, at most a few days, and the boatman will stay on the shore and wait according to the agreement.
The strange life of Horseshoe Island unfolds, and everyone plans to go to the other side of the island to search and explore. But I am worried that all the people will immediately miss the ship that came to look for the person.
Seventh Master said that it was okay to leave a message, and Captain Yang and they would definitely go ashore to search, and if they saw a message, they would definitely wait for us to come back.
This time, we lost contact with the ship because the island we landed on suddenly moved and then sank again. Captain Yang should have found us based on his years of sailing experience. It's just a matter of time, and there is no need to worry that they won't find it, or who will they find to collect the subsequent boat fare, and only take the deposit, they will lose a lot.
They left a message on the beach, fearing that it would be washed away by the rain, and laboriously carved a passage on a piece of wood, undoubtedly informing the boatmen that if they found the island, they would wait for us anyway, and then erect it in a conspicuous place.
Carefully covering the fire under the plantain leaves, the group walked to the side of the horseshoe-shaped island. Part of it was explored yesterday, so we went the other way today.
The same dense rainforest, hot and impermeable, trees shade the sky and sun, snakes and scorpions are everywhere, and there is never a dry and smooth place to settle on the ground. There are countless butterflies pretending to be dead leaves, countless snakes and insects pretending to be dead wood, and lizards with different and strange appearances, shuttling through the grass and tree trunks. It is a paradise for trees, a paradise for snakes, insects, scorpions, and lizards, and a place where people are tormented.
Soon there was no place on his body that was not itchy, only the cheerful chirping of insects in his ears, countless deep and shallow muddy swamp puddles under his feet, and the humid air made his body sticky and uncomfortable, and his pores were blocked and he couldn't breathe.
Zha Ling'er gradually began to feel bored, her face became more and more ugly, and her rising small mouth showed that she was ready to do nothing.
Yesterday, the fat man and I had already experienced the unique charm of the rainforest once, and we were more accustomed to it, although we were not irritable, but we also endured quite pain.
After three hours of walking through the dense forest with no head in sight, a clearing finally appeared in front of me, and a very narrow stream flowed. Seeing the clean and smooth ground, everyone immediately rushed over as if they had seen their own mother, and began to drink water and wash their faces by the stream, and then wash the mud on their shoes. (To be continued......)
