Chapter 119: Seeking Psychological Shadow Area
Early morning.
Ye Xuan sat up with a haggard face, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, and his mood suddenly became even worse.
It was the first time he had spent the night on a raft, and it was not at all as romantic as he imagined, but very guilty. He didn't get seasick, but the raft was bobbing and jolting with the waves all night, making it impossible to sleep at all. I was half-asleep and half-awake until dawn. Coupled with the hard wood under him, his back hurts, and he feels like his whole body is about to fall apart at this moment.
The cool sea water poured on his face finally made him a little more refreshed.
Start the drone as usual, open the live broadcast room, and the audience who has been waiting for a long time suddenly poured into it.
Seeing his nervous malaise and haggard appearance, the audience began to ridicule him.
"The anchor looks in bad spirits. ”
"The patriarch jerked off again last night, right?"
"The nutrition at sea can't keep up, so let's do it less. ”
"Well, young people don't know moderation. ”
"Yesterday, the patriarch's Buddhist fishing method really scared me. ”
"Poof, Buddhist fishing method, laughed out loud in the middle of the night. ”
"It's really hard for you guys to come out to show so late. ”
"Paralyzed, the barrage in this live broadcast room can't be opened, and I feel dizzy when I show it. ”
Rubbing his face, Ye Xuanqiang cheered up and said, "Good morning, audience." To be honest, sleeping on a raft is so uncomfortable. For a whole night, I didn't really sleep for 2 hours. Now, I'm sleepy and hungry. ”
The coconut had already been eaten yesterday, and after unscrewing the kettle and taking a sip of water, he planned to get something to eat first. Although people can live for a week or even longer without eating, if they are really hungry for two or three days, the body will begin to lose strength, and the sudden drop in blood sugar will also make people faint easily, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to even stand at that time.
He thought about going to sea to fish yesterday, but he quickly gave up this idea, because now it is not a shallow area by the beach, but a deep sea, and most of the fish are active dozens of meters below the surface of the sea. Even if there were occasional fish on the surface, at his speed, he wouldn't be able to catch them at all.
So, you can only gamble on your luck and continue fishing.
Attaching a snail to the fishing hook, Ye Xuan sat on the raft with the fishing rod in his hand, waited patiently, and said at the same time: "So far there is good news and one bad news, the good news is that I have been drifting at sea for a day and a night, and I am only about 200 nautical miles away from Fiji now. This shows that I am more likely to encounter a ship today than I was yesterday. ”
"The bad news is that it's overcast and the sea breeze tends to get stronger, and it looks like a storm is coming. ”
Storms are not terrible, but they are the storms that accompany heavy rains. For any vessel at sea, every big wave is a challenge. Even if tens of thousands of tons of steel giant ships face the monstrous waves more than ten meters or even tens of meters high, they will only have the fate of capsizing.
The highest recorded wave in the world to date was 33 metres high in the South Pacific Ocean during a stormy event in 1933.
A simple raft like his, let alone 33 meters, can be easily smashed into pieces by waves 3 meters high.
According to statistics, only 30% of the world's annual shipwrecks, collisions, fires and other accidents cause ships to sink. The remaining 70% were destroyed by bad weather and huge waves.
"In recent years, the deadliest shipwreck occurred in the Atlantic Ocean in '02. The Chola was carrying 2,000 people at the time, but on the way back it encountered a storm that completely sank the entire ship, killing 1,863 people, 73 missing, and only 64 survived. I can't do anything right now but pray for help before this rainstorm comes. Ye Xuan frowned, a little helpless.
In fact, he can't do anything but pray right now. To rely on the strength of one person to fight against nature is a fool's dream.
Even, his heart was ready for the raft to sink, and how to deal with it.
Just as he was thinking, the fishing rod in his hand sank slightly.
Nima, finally a fish has taken the bait.
For a while, Ye Xuan almost burst into tears. Before, he never thought that fishing would be so difficult.
The fish seemed to be very greedy, and after biting the hook, it dragged the fishing line down continuously, and it seemed that the bite was very dead. Ye Xuan did not hesitate, holding the fishing rod and suddenly mentioning it.
To his surprise, the catch was an octopus. This octopus is large, with eight legs in a ball, and the hook and line are tightly entangled.
Afraid of an accident, he hurriedly got the octopus on the raft, pinched the slippery and sticky octopus, and smiled happily: "The octopus is not bad, there are almost no bones and bones, and there is protein all over the body." ”
Caught in his hand, the octopus reflexively wrapped his hand around his hand with eight long legs. Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan swallowed his saliva and explained: "Octopus can be eaten raw, and I heard that in RB and South Korea, eating raw octopus is still very popular. However, like snakes, it has reflex nerves in its muscles, and even if it is dead, it can still move for a short time. Therefore, to eat octopus raw, there are certain obstacles to overcome. ”
Obviously, after several phases of wilderness survival, Ye Xuan has long had no resistance. Under the trend of intense hunger, he grabbed one of the octopus's feet and bit it down hard.
The octopus's skin and muscles are very elastic, and it takes a lot of effort to swallow it. Before he could chew, under the action of the reflex nerve, the octopus foot was immediately attached to his palate. After putting his hand in his mouth and taking it off, he chewed and said indistinctly: "Octopuses must be chewed when eaten raw, they have many suckers on their feet, and if they are not chewed, they will be absorbed in the throat when swallowed, and then it will be troublesome." ”
Although the audience had seen Ye Xuan eat all kinds of things, they still felt very violent.
"Patriarch, what does a live octopus taste like?"
"It's really awesome. ”
"Octopus: MMP, can't you just kill me and eat it again?"
"At the moment, the patriarch is 200 nautical miles away from Fiji, and the speed of the raft is 5 nautical miles per hour, assuming a wind speed of 3 and an air humidity of 80%. So, find the psychological shadow area of the octopus. ”
"Anchor, I beg you, can you kill the octopus first, it really hurts to watch. ”
"Suckers, brothers, I suddenly have a bold idea!"
"666, the patriarch is still so grumpy. ”
"Solve, is the octopus ink poisonous, can you eat it?"
The flesh of a live octopus is very elastic, like chewing a large piece of beef tendon, and those tiny suction cups occasionally adhere to the teeth and mouth when chewing, making it very difficult to eat.
An octopus leg swallowed his stomach, Ye Xuan felt that his chewing muscles were sour, and after looking at the barrage, he commented: "The raw octopus itself has no taste, the meat is very elastic, and the mouth is full of salty and bitter taste of seawater when you eat it." In addition, the ink of the octopus is not poisonous and has almost no effect on the human body, so if you are interested, you can give it a try. ”
With the lesson of the octopus feet just now, he was much more honest this time, took out the dagger, and made all the remaining feet of the octopus into small sections, so that it was more convenient to eat.
