Chapter Twenty-Three: Catching Fish
After this long view, Quan Hao has a comprehensive understanding of the local geography. It was then up to him to decide where his base would be. The South Peninsula and the North Peninsula have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the South Peninsula is fortunate in its abundant freshwater resources, which is conducive to concealment and abundant plant resources. The downside is that there can be danger lurking in the jungle. He once encountered a snake in the exploration, because it was a narrow road, and the two faced each other for a while. It ends with the serpent turning away. But Quan Hao also pinched his sweat, because he didn't know if it was a poisonous snake. The North Peninsula has all kinds of seafood, a wide view, and is closer to the gate of time and space. The disadvantage is that there is a lack of shelter, and there is no place to hide in case of a storm. It's tropical again, and there will certainly be no shortage of windy and rainy days.
In the end, Jeon Hao decided to live in the North Peninsula. It's nothing else, just because it's closer to the space-time gate to make him feel at ease. In fact, he also knew that the most inhabitable location on the island was near the southernmost estuary. With fresh water, seafood, and a short distance from the woods and a wide view, it combines all the advantages of the North and South Peninsulas in one. The only downside was that it was too far away, not only from the gate of time and space, but also too far from where he was. It takes at least a day to walk from 6 grounds. Let's wait until we understand the rules of space-time gate and can freely enter and exit this world before we go to explore.
Deciding on the location of the base camp, Jeon Hao continued to get busy. He had so much to carry. Banana leaves, firewood, these are the supplies he desperately needs. In addition, Quan Hao also wanted to cut a few sturdy and straight thick branches to see if he could build a shed and get rid of the dilemma of the curtain on the ground. Or build a raft to get between the Temporal Gate and the shore. The previous method of wading in the water was still unsafe.
No matter how much you think about, you can only take it one step at a time. At present, the most urgent need is firewood. Yesterday and this morning, the leaves and coconut shells were almost burned. Even if we survive tonight, we will inevitably stop smoking tomorrow morning. Although there are many trees here, not all of them can be used as firewood. The amount of wood should be sufficient and the moisture content should be low. In the end, Quan Hao found a water pine that was about to die, broke two large branches, and felt the right amount to weigh it. Dispose of all the forks and forks on the top, and two large branches more than three meters long are separated by a cable tied around the waist one meter apart, each tied to the thick end, and the middle rope is set to the chest. You can easily drag and walk.
The sun on the island is spicy. Fortunately, there is always a cool sea breeze blowing on the face, although it is hot, it is not difficult to endure. What needs to be worried more is sunburn, Quan Hao put a straw hat around his head with banana leaves, and several around his body. In short, try not to expose your skin to the outside. Even so, both hands were tanned purple-purple.
The kettle, which was thought to be unnecessary, also came in handy. Filled with fresh water from the creek. Quan Hao found more than one kind of fish in the stream, so the stream water was drinkable, and the water was cool and a little sweet, refreshing. It's really good to take a sip on a hot summer day when your mouth is dry, and it is really good to relieve the heat and fatigue.
If it was before he encountered the space-time gate, Quan Hao would never have imagined that one day he would walk three kilometers under the scorching sun for two pieces of firewood, and his shoulders would be strangled red by ropes. But he didn't feel tired at all. He is still on the rise of playing a live-action version of the island tycoon. It's just a pity that there are too few tools, and primitive people are really not so easy to be.
Back at the campsite, Quan Hao unloaded all the belongings on his body as quickly as possible, almost rushed to the beach, and plunged into the sea with a fierce man. It's finally cool.
After swimming for a quarter of an hour, he got up from the water. I went back and put on my shirt and got my javelin ready to fish. Dinner should be hearty anyway. After eating two turtle eggs in a row, he was really enough. This thing can only be tasted occasionally, and the fishy smell after eating too much is really unappetizing.
He kept walking into the sea until the sea water was up to his waist, and Quan Hao stopped. He raised the javelin in his hand and stabbed it every time a fish swam by. The fish here are very vigilant because they have never been caught. If you don't move, they won't feel dangerous.
The first to be attacked was a pomfret with a round belly. It's stupid, and it's been hanging around Quan Hao. I never felt that my body was big and big, and it was a good target. When the tip of the gun passed by his side, he startled it and quickly wagged his tail and ran away. However, this shot didn't even touch its scales, and I don't know how it will understand this thrilling scene in the future "Yusheng". Then a fish with an elongated body was killed. This fish Quan Hao can't name, and it looks similar to mackerel. The body is flat and narrow, and it is not an easy prey to get hold of. Sure enough, the spear was stabbed even farther away, and the fish didn't realize that it was itself that was being attacked. I just noticed that something was wrong nearby, so I left. Next, Quan Hao stared at a yellow croaker again. This time it was finally wounded, and the tip of the spear passed through the scales behind its gills, but it escaped anyway, dropping only a few scales. The first three attacks ended in failure, and the refraction of the sea water caused him to misjudge the position of the fish. But at least he's improving.
Quan Hao encouraged himself to calm down and continued to stare at the sea motionlessly. Several more fish swam past him, but he did not attack. These fish are either strange or colorful, and he is not sure if they are poisonous or not. Jeon Ho didn't dare to risk his body, so he only picked the fish he knew as a target.
A fish with a black body and a length of more than a foot swims leisurely. Unaware that he had entered the hunting grounds set up by the hunters. Quan Hao raised his gun and stabbed sharply, and then mentioned. The big fish struggled to be lifted out of the water. The black snapper was pierced through its back, the tip of the spear went under its flank, and its head was dyed red. Despite leaving the water, it twisted its injured body and flapped its tail vigorously. Obviously, he was not willing to die in Huangquan. Its mouth opened and closed, revealing its sharp teeth. The already ugly face is revealed. Coupled with the blade-like dorsal fin angrily, it looks really murderous.
Because the fish struggled with great force, Jeon Hao had to hold the handle of the gun with one hand and the back of the snapper with the other hand and walk to the shore. The fish weighed at least five pounds, enough for his dinner. Quan Hao is not greedy for more, and he can't store it if he has more, and in the hot summer, food left in the open will quickly rot.
Because the snapper struggled so badly, Jeon Ho had to kill it early on the shore - cutting off the snapper's head with a dagger. The move immediately reminded him of the man at the top of the food chain. So in order to express his admiration, he decided to do something more than his predecessors. Of course, he doesn't eat the fish head himself, although the chopped pepper fish head is delicious, but Quan Hao doesn't have that condition. What he needs is rich nutrition, not gorgeous but not hungry delicacy.
