Chapter 38: Fishing
The afternoon sun is so hot that even the birds hide from the sun to avoid being sunburned.
The mountains were quiet, and everything seemed to fall asleep.
Xu is because of the first few times he went into the mountain, except for the time when he encountered wild boars, he did not encounter any danger.
Therefore, everyone is not so scared except that they are still a little vigilant in their hearts.
Wen Xian didn't plan to take the previous road this time, but found another way, looking in the other direction to see if there was any bamboo.
Unfortunately, her luck wasn't so good this time.
Along the way, except for catching another pheasant, picking up a few wild eggs, and picking some mushrooms, wild vegetables and herbs, there was no other harvest along the way.
Regretting to return, Wen Xian was not discouraged, and prepared to continue to look for bamboo next time she went into the mountain.
It was imperative to find the bamboo, and she had to find it. With such a big mountain, she didn't believe that there was not a single bamboo.
After going back, she took the rabbit skin that Jiang Jingwan had rubbed and began to process the grease on it.
After processing the grease and cleaning the rabbit skin, it was already dark.
She took two rabbit skins into the hole, spread them on the stacked pyre to dry, and waited until tomorrow to take out the hole and continue drying.
……
Sleepless all night, early the next morning, Wen Xian went to see the tide as usual.
Unexpectedly, the sea has begun to show signs of low tide, and it seems that it is a high tide today.
The ebbing tide is a good time to pick up seafood, Wen Xian put the bamboo matter behind her, and hurriedly ran back to the cave, informing everyone to get ready to catch the sea in the afternoon.
Maybe in the afternoon, wait another hour, and probably go fishing for some sea fish.
She opened her mouth and urged, "Quick, take some grass and vines and make some straw baskets out to use as fishing nets, and then go fishing with me later." ”
Eat clams and oysters all day long, no matter how full you are. Eating too much is like chewing wax, you have to get some sea fish to eat.
There is great power in numbers, and in response to her call, everyone began to act.
Wen Xian has been deliberately collecting materials for weaving straw baskets, although not much, but it is enough to weave six or seven straw baskets of the kind she had made before.
However, instead of making all of them into straw baskets, she made three straw baskets and a fishing net.
Fishing nets are difficult for others who have never been in contact with them, but for Wen Xian, who has been at the beach for many years, it is a breeze.
However, it only took half an hour for a simple fishing net to be woven by Wen Xian.
Because you want to catch fish, the hole in the net should not be too big. Therefore, it takes a lot of material to weave a fishing net.
And the size of the fishing net is only a little bigger than a dustpan.
After weaving the fishing nets and having a brief lunch, Wen Xian took the straw basket and fishing nets to the beach.
There is no need to go into the mountains, Jiang Jingwan, a pregnant woman, can also follow along.
"If I don't go down later, I see that the waves on the shore are still a little anxious and unsafe." Jiang Jingwan looked at the beach that was only two meters away, and her eyes were full of worry.
The sea water did not completely recede, and the waves were also rapid, which was very dangerous.
Wen Xian said quietly: "Now you know the danger, who rushed into the sea a few days ago?" ”
Compared to the side where Jiang Jingwan went, the waves here were relatively gentle. As long as you pay more attention, there is no problem.
Jiang Jingwan's face was slightly red, and she said, "I won't next time." ”
At that time, she was a master of art and bold, and she did not have such a great awe of the sea. I always felt that she could float to the island and there would be no danger in the future.
In fact, the power of nature is stronger than imagined.
Sometimes Wen Xian even wondered if it was because she crossed over, so she drifted to the island safely.
Otherwise, surviving in the deep sea cannot be explained by science.
"Remember what you said today." Wen Xian said, "Marine fish generally don't run aground on the beach, they have to go to the water to catch them. The sea recedes farther and farther, so we don't go to the depths, we just fish nearby.
It is best to work in groups of three, with the person in the middle responsible for fishing, and the people on both sides responsible for supporting each other, and by the way, picking up what was caught. ”
If you don't go into the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, and the appropriate adventure is also a kind of exercise for people who survive on a desert island.
Jiang Jingwan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then madam, be careful, come back if you have a situation." Without fish, we can still eat wild vegetables, and there are still a lot of kelp we picked up last time. ”
Wen Xian nodded, and before she could say the beginning, Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui quickly stood on both sides of her, wanting to team up with her.
Who to team up with, Wen Xian didn't care, but Jiang Lingling and the others who didn't grab the position were extremely depressed.
In the end, Wen Xian, Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui were in a group, Wu Junlan, Zheng Rou and Fang Jiaren were in a group, and Jiang Lingling, Hu Keer and Sheng Lian'er were in a group.
The remaining white roses stayed on the shore to accompany Jiang Jingwan while picking up the exposed seafood on the beach.
When the preparations were done, the water receded a little. Wen Xian hurriedly took Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui to the sea, she had already seen the location where she planned to go to the net.
The location that Wen Xian was optimistic about was the place where Jiang Lingling found the eel before.
The sea water there is just up to the thighs at the moment. There are a few reefs in the water, just right for the fish to live in.
The three of them walked to the destination with their arms, and Wen Xian waved her hand to cast the fishing net.
After a while, she fished the net directly and tried to see if she could catch a fish.
"There really are fish." Zhou Hui said happily, "There are so many fish in just a short time, wouldn't it be more if you catch it for a while." ”
From the time the fishing net was cast to the time it was raised, it was only a few dozen breaths. Although the fish is small, it is always harvested and does not fail.
Although Xia Zhi's expression was still faint, her shining eyes had already betrayed her mood at the moment.
"This is a small yellow croaker, which is the most delicious when fried. Of course, you can also eat it grilled or boiled in soup. Wen Xian licked her lips, poured the five small yellow croakers in the net into the grass basket, and then continued to cast the net to catch fish.
She was bitter in her heart, she didn't cherish it in her previous life, and she was tired of eating fried small yellow croaker, but now she wants to eat it is a luxury.
When the others saw Wen Xian's harvest, they were not to be outdone and began to spread grass baskets to catch fish.
The straw basket is not like a fishing net, so you can only bend down and put your arms into the water with the straw basket.
Feeling the touch coming from his hand from time to time, Jiang Lingling, who was in charge of fishing, couldn't help but exhale softly.
She wanted to scream loudly, but she held back, afraid to scare the fish away.
Even Wu Junlan, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but shrink her hand and forced herself to calm down.
Wen Xian chuckled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, just get used to it." Whatever you catch, put it on first. ”
Of course, there is a chance that you will catch a sea snake. Wen Xian didn't dare to say this to them, after all, what woman is not afraid of snakes.
Oh, it's her.
She is a medical student, and she doesn't know how many snakes she has dissected. As long as it's not a poisonous snake, she's really not afraid. Even if it is a poisonous snake, she believes in her hand speed, and she can take local materials and detoxify something like that.
After thinking about it, it was time to start a second net. Wen Xian quickly closed the net and lifted it, bringing up a large area of seawater.
