Article 231 Divergence
"Wow, what a big fish, I can finally eat a good meal. As soon as he came to the land of drilling fire and saw three big fish on the ground, Chen Hao said excitedly.
"You big guy just want to eat, you need to get the fire out first. Shui Xin scolded with a smile.
"Beauty, don't be busy, this kind of physical work has to be handed over to our Qi Dong!" Chen Hao said with a hippie smile, and then fled far away under the white eyes of Qi Dong and Shui Xin.
"Shui Xin, don't be angry, this guy just can't spit out ivory in his dog's mouth. Qi Dong said with a smile, "But the words are not rough, let me do this kind of technical work." ”
"Smack-" As soon as the words fell, Qi Dong slapped Shui Xin on his arm, and the latter glared at him with a smile, and said angrily: "Hmph, you are not much better!"
After all, she still handed the wooden stick into Qi Dong's hands.
Qi Dong immediately imitated Shui Xin's appearance of drilling the fire just now, stepped on the wooden board with one foot, and rubbed his hands vigorously. The stick was like an electrified drill in his hand, and it turned several times faster than Shui Xin.
In less than a minute, a wisp of green smoke came out of the small hole in the plank, and the surrounding wood powder was accumulating. As the stick spun rapidly, the smoke grew louder and louder, and finally, a little spark popped out, and then the fire primer was ignited.
Qi Dong hurriedly leaned down, and while gently blowing into the fire primer, he added firewood to it, and soon a raging fire ignited.
"Well, I'll admit you're a little better than me. Shui Xin said with a smile.
"Hahaha, worthy of Brother Dong, he has never disappointed me!" Chen Hao also complimented excitedly, he had already skewered the three fish with fine wood, and then took one with Qi Dong and put it on the fire to roast it.
After a while, the smell of grilled fish spreads.
"It's so fragrant, will it be smelled by others?" Chen Hao said with some concern.
"No, everyone else is in the banana grove, how can you smell it from such a distance. Qi Dong shook his head and said, and then put out the fire that was not used, in case those people saw the smoke.
Afterwards, the three of them sat on the grass and munched on the grilled fish, except that there was no salty taste, but everything else was fine. In less than ten minutes, there were three more fish bones on the ground.
Qi Dong had eaten a lot of bananas before, and with this big fish, he could barely be half full.
For the next three or four days, everyone was in the camp waiting for rescue. When he was hungry, he went to the banana forest to eat bananas, and when he was thirsty, he went to the river to drink water, while Qi Dong and others caught some fish from time to time and grilled them to eat, and their lives were comfortable.
However, after a few days, except for Qi Dong, Chen Hao and Shui Xin, the other seven people all became weak and weak because they only ate bananas, and Qi Dong also suggested that they should catch fish and eat.
Three or four people followed Qi Dong's advice, but their methods were not good, and they hardly caught any fish. Others were dismissive, arguing that there were ready-made bananas to satisfy their hunger, so why bother fishing.
Time passed, and although they made a distress signal on the nearby high ground and took turns to keep people there, they still could not wait for help. Occasionally, one or two planes passed by, but they didn't find anything on the desert island, and there were not a single boat.
Finally, on the fifth day, Yang Ping also realized that the situation was getting worse and worse, so he gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't go on like this! You also know in your hearts that no one will come to our rescue anytime soon. Yang Ping said with a serious face, "So we have to find a way to survive better on the island, instead of staying in the same place and eating bananas every day." Look at yourselves, all of you are yellow and thin, in case something happens, how do we deal with it?"
"Brother Yang, you're so right, I'm about to vomit after eating those bananas!" said the hyena with some excitement, "I want to eat meat! Eat meat!"
"Hyena, if you want to eat meat, you can catch it yourself!" said a middle-aged man with a depressed expression, "I don't want to venture into the depths of the jungle for a little appetite!
"Ah Cheng is right, we are safe to stay here, and we will not die of hunger and thirst, wouldn't it be nice to wait honestly for rescue?" said a woman about the same age as Shui Xin, "We don't know anything about the situation in the depths of the island, why do we have to venture inside? ”
"I don't agree with you, it's not necessarily the safest way to be content with the status quo here! If we don't take the initiative, others, or other creatures, will take the initiative to attack us!"
"Yes, we are just curled up here to survive, we are boiled frogs in warm water, and sooner or later we will face danger!
I don't want to take risks, but I'm not going to stop you from taking risks. Anyway, I'm going to stay here in peace, and what you want has nothing to do with me!"
", are you still adventurous wild survivors? If you are so timid, why do you want to come out to survive in the wilderness, why don't you stay at home honestly and spend your birthday from 9 to 5 every day!"
"You fart! Adventurous spirit does not mean reckless impulsiveness, let alone greed and desire! We should revere nature, not conquer it!"
......
After some heated arguments, the ten men were roughly divided into two factions. Six people led by Yang Ping advocated exploring the depths of the island, while the remaining four advocated sticking to the camp, and Qi Dong and the other three stood on Yang Ping's side.
In the end, Yang Ping decided to let the four people stay in the camp, keep an eye on the passing planes and boats, and find a way to notify them as soon as there is a chance to rescue. The other six began to prepare to explore deeper into the island.
The following day, they stayed at the camp to craft a variety of simple weapons and tools, such as spears, stone axes, bows and arrows, slingshots, and nets woven from vines.
In addition, some people also wrote suicide notes on their shirts with plant liquid, or verbally explained to the four left-behind people, and if something unfortunate happened, they would pass it on their behalf. Of course, the premise is that those four people can be successfully rescued.
The next day, when the sun rose from the east side of the island, when the first rays of sunlight hit the camp, six people led by Yang Ping gathered outside the camp and marched towards the depths of the island with the weapons and tools they had made.
