Chapter 36 Plan for a rainy day
When they heard that there was no one on the island, and that the white shadow was just a goat at night, Su Jin and Li Shanshan were also very happy.
I originally wanted to cook, but Su Jin snatched the matter away. She cooked the conchs and pulled out the meat and slice it on a plate. Topped with a silver knife and fork, coconut milk and some coconut meat, it looks like you're eating in a fine dining restaurant.
Because of the nutmeg as a condiment, the snail meat is very flavorful, and the taste is like beef tongue. Although I didn't catch the sheep and didn't cook the hot pot, Li Shanshan ate it very deliciously.
The wound on her leg has also healed because of the cuttlefish bone powder, and it doesn't seem to fester, leaving an ugly scar.
"Brother Haidong, we are here like a vacation! And it's still pristine, it doesn't cost money!" she was in a very good mood and looked at me beautifully.
Looking at her sunny and smiling face, I feel that this little girl is actually quite cute if she doesn't play sex.
But our lives here are never as easy as she says.
Because we still have a lot to do to be truly safe and survive.
I asked Su Jin to make a bag, pack some nutmeg, and hang it at the mouth of the cave to dry, so that it can repel mosquitoes. The taste of nutmeg is also soothing and hypnotic.
I took the other nutmeg to a plank, smashed it with an axe, and crushed it finely. I'm going to squeeze out some oil and use it as an anesthetic.
Because I found that in the reef of the headland, when the tide goes down in the morning, a lot of puddles form. Many marine fish will be stranded inside, but because the puddles are large and covered with sharp reefs, it is not advisable to catch them with nets or by hand.
In the past few days, although I used a knife to pry a lot of shellfish back, but that thing is not big meat after all, I eat too much stomach pain, and my stomach is cold and diarrhea, so it is not as good as fish to raise people.
If I could use nutmeg as an anesthetic to anesthetize the fish at low tide, then I would save trouble.
Also, I'm thinking about making bows and arrows.
More than once I have observed the island in the distance, and there is still smoke on the island. It is not known whether it is to attract rescue or to cook for lighting and heating. Although it may be Vice President Cui and them, I don't dare to relax easily.
I have not discussed this issue in depth with Su Jin and Li Shanshan.
In fact, they should also understand in their hearts that no matter in terms of escape conditions or physical fitness, Cui Mingren and the other three company models are a lot worse than the robbers. How can I wishfully think that the robbers are all drowned, and only Choi Mingren and the other models are alive!
If these robbers are not cleared for a day, I will not live in peace. Although they don't have boats, it's unlikely that they'll swim over, but what if they have accomplices? In particular, I found a wreck and "white powder" in the lake, which suggests that this is probably the place where international criminals trade.
Their robbers may have guns in their hands, I can't fight them hand-to-hand, those two grenades are not necessarily usable, bows and arrows are the only weapons of long-range destruction I can get at the moment.
I served in the army for five years, and I have a strong sense of fighting qualities and precautions.
In this case, it is best for us to "slow down the king, accumulate grain, and wait for the day." Hold on to help. ”
But an ordinary wooden arrow will only make a small hole when it pierces a person. Unless an arrow hits the vital point, the enemy will be incapacitated. I'm not an Olympic champion in archery, and my homemade bow and arrow are not very accurate, so I can only solve this problem by quenching poison on the arrow.
I was thinking about these questions as I scraped the bow with a knife.
Although the trees on the island are not large, they are very resilient, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the typhoons that come from time to time. So I don't have to worry about the elasticity and strength of the bow. I tried the strength of the bow, and if it was full, the effective range of thirty or fifty meters could be reached. Arrow shafts can also be made from some straight bushes, and the two tinplate cans are chopped to form sharp arrow clusters.
The bow can be wound after two more days, and the only thing that worries me is that there is no reliable bowstring.
Fortunately, there is a hibiscus tree growing here, and I can use the bark fibers to make strings. Although it is not very reliable for high-intensity use, it can only be used as such.
