Chapter 68: Survival in the Wild

"Brother Ma, what's the situation inside?" Zhou Miao greeted him and handed him a boiled coconut.

"I'm not optimistic, it's quite big, but it doesn't feel like there's any living thing, but I've found a suitable place to set up camp, and we'll set up camp in the afternoon."

At this time, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon, and they were all well-fed at noon, and while they had the strength now, the three of them began to divide the work.

Zhou Miao and Ma Run went to set up camp, and Zhao Jingya ran around the island to see if there were any garbage items washed up by the waves on the beach, maybe she could find something useful.

Walking into the interior of the island is like flying from Hawaii to a tropical rainforest, full of trees that cover the sky and sun, and plants that can't be named.

Zhou Miao could hear the sound of birds chirping in the woods, but when she looked closely, she couldn't find anything.

"We need some arm-thick trunks to build a frame, but we don't have a knife, so we can only use sharp stones to smash slowly, so don't choose the kind of tree with high toughness, pick this kind of tree, which is relatively brittle and easier to break, but it is enough to make a frame." Ma Run patted a small black and brown tree and said.

Zhou Miao nodded to show that he understood, found the tree, and smashed it with the thin part of the stone.

Although this kind of tree was already relatively brittle, the two who lacked tools still smashed it for a long time before breaking it, and Zhou Miao's palms were ground into blood blisters.

And when the two men were working as coolies there, Zhao Jingya walked on the beach with relaxed steps as if she was on a trip.

An hour had passed, and a white plastic bag, two plastic bottles, a tattered fishing net, and a can of pork that had not been opened but had expired for more than three years had now been harvested.

Zhao Jingya, who has been clothed and fed since childhood, has gained a different kind of pleasure in this kind of garbage picking up work, and it feels like picking up treasures.

The island is very large, and it took Zhao Jingya two hours to walk around, her legs were sore, and she didn't find anything particularly useful.

Entering the island, Zhou Miao and Ma Run have already built the frame, because the three of them live together, so the build is relatively large, just when Zhao Jingya came, the three of them went to pick palm leaves, the frame is not enough, there must be a roof to protect from the wind and rain.

Palm leaf is a frequent guest in the wilderness survival program, with strong tensile strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is a good material for sheltering houses and even weaving straw sandals.

However, because its leaves are sparse, it needs to be braided like a braid to keep out the rain.

Ma Run taught the two how to knit by hand, in this regard, Zhao Jingya, as a girl, is obviously much faster than Zhou Miao.

Ma Run spread the thick pieces of turf on the wooden frame, spread it out solidly, block it tightly, and finally cover it with a layer of braided palm leaves, and a simple small camp took shape.

Inside the camp, the same layer of turf was covered with a layer of soft hay and the rest of the palm fronds were covered.

Zhou Miao, who was tired, lay on it, very comfortable, very cool, slightly prickly, and there was a natural earthy fragrance.

Ma Run looked through the things that Zhao Jingya brought back: "The plastic bottle is good, it can be used to catch water, fishing nets, and it can be used to make up for it, this can also be used, although it is expired, it can be used for fishing, and the jar can also be used as a pot." ”

Hearing that the things she brought back were useful, Zhao Jingya's heart suddenly became happy.

After some fatigue, the three of them were thirsty and hungry, and they killed several coconuts in a row, and decided to try their luck at the beach to see if they could touch some seafood.

At this time, the sun has already sunset, and if you don't act for a while, the tide will rise.

Fortunately, they found a lot of small loaches in a small inlet, and the three of them surrounded them from the rear and blocked the back road with stones, and the whole small inlet suddenly became a small pond with a dead end.

The three of them rolled up their trouser legs and groped in the water, and after a while they caught a small half bowl of loaches, but unfortunately the tide rose quickly, and all the other loaches ran out.

Ma Run stuffed a piece of spoiled pork into a plastic bottle, unsealed, and pressed it into the pond with stones, which was using the pork to lure the fish over, and if you were lucky, when the tide receded tomorrow, those fish who did not have time to leave would be blocked by the stones in this pond.

The three of them picked some coconuts and went back to the camp to prepare dinner, and with loaches, there had to be a fire.

Originally, Zhou Miao thought that there was a great god Ma Run, so what was it to drill wood for fire?

But Ma Run's hand was about to catch fire, and there was still no sign of smoke coming from the wood.

After a while, Ma Run threw the stick: "What is this!" ”

"Hey, don't throw it, try again, let's make a draw, it's more efficient." Zhou Miao picked up the stick, then untied the shoelaces and made a drawstring, and pulled it up with a snort.

Ma Run and Zhao Jingya looked at him expectantly, hoping that he could bring the spark of life and hope.

After another half an hour, Zhou Miao threw the stick far away: "What kind of bullshit is this!" ”

Zhao Jingya covered her stomach and looked miserable: "I'm so hungry, I can't catch fire, what are we going to eat at night." ”

Ma Run helplessly pinched a loach that had turned his belly: "Actually, this can be eaten raw, let's just eat it tonight, it's dark, and there is no fire." ”

Eating raw loaches? The two couldn't help but swallow their saliva, is this the first day to come to such a heavy mouthful?

"Brother Ma, you can demonstrate first." Zhou Miao said.

Ma Run took a deep breath and threw the whole loach directly into his mouth, his mouth chewed for a while, and the eyes of the two people who looked at it were straight.

Swallowing the loach like poison, Ma Run showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Actually, the taste is okay, you can try it?" ”

Zhao Jingya's head shook like a rattle, "I don't eat it, I'd rather starve to death than eat this thing, it's disgusting!" ”

Zhou Miao pinched up a small loach, to be honest, he hates eating fish and loach yellow eel, he always feels disgusting, and it is even more difficult to accept it when eaten raw, but he has already come to participate in the wilderness, and if he doesn't eat something raw, he always feels soulless.

But after thinking about it, I still pinched off the loach head first, and finally threw it into my mouth with my eyes closed, and swallowed it without chewing.

In Zhao Jingya's surprised eyes, Zhou Miao smashed her mouth: "I don't feel anything, you can also give it a try, it's not as difficult to accept as you imagined." ”

"No! I don't eat! I won't eat it if I am killed! Zhao Jingya covered her mouth and retreated far away, Zhou Miao didn't force her, it seemed that she was still not hungry enough.

Zhou Miao and Ma Run each ate a few more, and after filling in a little, they didn't continue to eat, no matter how they said it, it was raw, and it was easy to have diarrhea if they ate too much.
