Chapter 234: Fishing
Unconsciously, Qi Dong and others have been on the island for seven or eight days, but no one has come to the rescue. Maybe the island wasn't on the shipping line, and there wasn't even a single ship passing by for so many days.
Except for rainy days, the hunting team would go out to hunt every day, and each time they would come back with two or three goats, but gradually, they found that the sheep on the grassland were becoming more and more scarce, and they became more and more alert, and at the slightest disturbance, they would scatter and hide in the depths of the island.
On this day, Qi Dong and the others walked into the grassland, but they didn't even see a goat.
"Damn, what's the matter, where are the goats?" said the hyena, thrust his spear into the grass in indignation.
"Hey, needless to say, we must have been killed by us and hid inside. The pangolin replied rather disappointedly, and then asked Yang Ping, "Brother Yang, what should we do now?"
Yang Ping didn't answer immediately after hearing this, his eyes looked at the end of the grassland, and he frowned and pondered. After a few breaths, he shook his head and said, "It's too risky to chase inside." Last time we met two lions here, if it weren't for Brother Qi's desperate fight, I'm afraid we would have to explain.
There must be more lions in there, and maybe a whole herd of lions, and with just a few of us and shoddy weapons, there is no doubt that we will be sent to death. ”
"Hey, what should we do, we can't go back empty-handed, right?" Chen Hao said.
Yang Ping sighed and said: "Then there is no way, we can only go back first and think about it in the long run, anyway, there is still a little meat stored in the camp, and we will not die of hunger for a while." ”
Qi Dong and they had no objection to this, so they returned to the camp the same way.
Back at the camp, the group sat outside the hut to discuss future plans.
"Brother Yang, didn't you even see a goat on the grassland today?" Ah Cheng asked, "Why don't you go in and have a look?"
"You kid really don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" replied the hyena angrily, "There are so many lions in there, you told us to go in and send us to death?"
was scolded like this, and Ah Cheng was embarrassed and silent.
Yang Ping opened his mouth and said, "Okay, since we can't catch goats, then we have to think of other ways." With hands and feet, will we still starve to death? ”
"That's right, Brother Yang is right, even if we don't have goat meat to eat, we can still eat bananas. Said the woman named Alain.
"Hey, don't mention the banana, we're not monkeys, how can we eat bananas all day. The pangolin said with an unhappy expression.
At this time, Qi Dong opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, let's go to the beach and try it again? ”
"Hey, Brother Qi, it's easy for you to say, where are the fish so easy to catch, haven't we tried it before, we only caught some small fish and shrimp for a long time, and it was not enough to stuff the teeth!" The hyena said with a wry smile, he didn't know that Qi Dong had caught three big fish in half an hour, but then he was able to catch goats, so he didn't catch any more fish.
After hearing this, Qi Dong smiled and said, "Of course, it's not easy to catch empty-handed, but we can weave fishing nets with rattan, it should be much easier." ”
"Good idea!" As soon as Qi Dong finished speaking, Yang Ping clapped his hands and applauded, his face was full of excitement, and the others also unanimously praised Qi Dong's idea.
"I've learned how to weave fishing nets with rattan, it's not difficult, let's start now!" Shui Xin also said with a smile.
Then everyone went together to collect enough rattan and came back, and then began to weave fishing nets under the guidance of Yang Ping and Shui Xin.
A few hours later, two large fishing nets woven of rattan were made. They all went to a low cliff by the sea and threw their nets into the water.
After a while, the nets were scooped up. However, they were very disappointed by the results, except for some small fish, shrimp and aquatic plants, there was not even a single big fish.
"Brothers, don't worry, let's catch a few more times, I don't believe we can't catch big fish!" Yang Ping said loudly to boost morale.
Then two nets were thrown into the water again and again, but each time they were caught, they didn't catch much, and the largest fish was no bigger than a palm.
As time passed, everyone's patience was also exhausted. Finally, after finding nothing for the ninth time, Qi Dong quickly took off his clothes and pants, and plunged into the sea with only a pair of underwear.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, and then chattered.
"What is Qi Dong doing here? Is he going down to swim or catch fish?"
"It's funny, we can't catch any fish with our nets, it's strange that he can catch fish empty-handed!"
"Haha, I guess he's teasing us, and he'll come up in a while. ”
......
A minute passed, there was no movement on the sea, and there was no trace of Qi Dong, and everyone didn't pay too much attention.
Three minutes later, Qi Dong still did not get out of the water, and everyone on the beach began to get anxious, and several people began to shout Qi Dong's name loudly.
Five minutes later, Hyena and Yang Ping finally realized that something was wrong and jumped into the sea to search for Qi Dong, but when they surfaced, they both shook their heads at everyone with a frustrated expression.
"It's over, Qi Dong should have been washed away by the undercurrent of the sea, we searched underwater and didn't see him!" Yang Ping climbed onto the cliff and said with a pale face.
"This is impossible, the water flow here is not urgent at all, and Brother Qi's water quality is not bad, how could it suddenly disappear?" the pangolin patted his head and wondered.
"Are you sure you've looked for it carefully, will he swim somewhere else?" Cheng said.
"I said are you stupid, Qi Dong has been in the water for seven or eight minutes, and he didn't have an oxygen tank with him, and he hasn't come out of the water until now, something must have happened!" said the hyena with an ugly face.
Shui Xin also began to panic, but Chen Hao on the side seemed to have nothing to do, his face was calm and said with a slight smile: "Shui Xin, don't worry about Qi Dong, he will definitely be fine, maybe he has caught a big fish now!"
Shui Xin was skeptical after hearing this, but when she saw Chen Hao's determined look, she could only forcibly suppress the urge to go down and search.
......
At this moment, in the sea more than 200 meters away from everyone, Qi Dong was catching a big fish in each hand and swimming freely. He was very excited and puzzled now, not because he had caught a big fish, but because he had found that he could only hold his breath underwater for about a minute before, but now he could stay underwater for so long, and he did not feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. In addition to that, he swam much faster in the water, otherwise he would not have caught two big fish in such a short time.
What the hell is going on? Qi Dong was very puzzled.
