Chapter 0829 – Surviving on a lonely island (III)

A week passed quickly, for the first few days, Zhuang Rui would still stand on the reef and look around, waiting for the rescue team to arrive, but every day what he waited for was endless disappointment.

And life on the beach was getting tougher and tougher, because every so many days, there would be a strong storm.

In the night before last, the sea water suddenly surged, nestled in the reef Zhuang Rui was cold seawater rushed awake, if not Zhuang Rui was quick to react, hold the reef, I’m afraid this will have entered the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to feed the sharks.

Tyrannical wild sea, in the eyes of Zhuang Rui, just like a monster, it is not possible to say when, will be swallowed with the skin and bones, for the fear of the sea, at the moment has exceeded the mysterious island.

Another reason, is the problem of food, although every day is to eat fresh oysters, drink natural coconut milk, this is the modern people are very pursuing lifestyle, but Zhuang Rui in the even eat three days later, the stomach and intestines finally began to rebel, pulling him is the desire to die can not stop.

Behind the back for several days, Zhuang Rui did not dare to eat seafood, only to coconut meat to fill the hunger, the mouth is about to fade out of the bird, looking at the seashore every day flying seabirds, so that Zhuang Rui would like to be born in the body of the wings, one by one to catch back to the grill and eat.

Stayed at the beach for a week, have not been able to meet the rescue team, guarded on the beach is not a way, Zhuang Rui has made up his mind, to explore the island.

According to Zhuang Rui’s previous knowledge from the movie, the isolated island in the sea, there is generally no large beasts of prey, perhaps the night before he heard wrong is not allowed to say.

However, before entering the island, Zhuang Rui still has a lot of preparatory work to do, the first is naturally a weapon, there is no self-defense things, Zhuang Rui dare not go deep into the island.

Standing on the edge of the coconut grove, Zhuang Rui took a handful of about a meter and a half long and short wooden pole in his hand, this is his effort to exhaust the nine oxen and two tigers, from a tree full of barbs, with the edge of the stone down.

For this Zhuang Rui hands like a long hair general stuck full of thorns, a whole day to pick is considered clean, and then spent half a day, the branch above all the barbs with a knife to scrape away.

Now this wooden pole, more accurately, should be a javelin, because at one end of the pole, with Zhuang Rui’s shoelace, tightly tied the knife from Peng Fei, which is also Zhuang Rui’s only weapon.

Zhuang Rui’s right hand was held in the middle of the javelin, and he threw it hard at a coconut tree.

Only to hear “cha” a muffled sound, javelin front section of the knife, the whole inserted in the hard coconut tree, more than a meter long javelin steadily inserted in the tree, like a spring general swing back and forth, issued a “buzzing” sound.

“Not bad, turn around and try to zap the fish.”

Zhuang Rui pulled down the javelin from the tree and played a spear in his hand, he was very satisfied with the weapon he made.

During the first few days, Zhuang Rui had already managed to ignite the sun-dried dead leaves with his knife and stone impacts to raise a fire on the beach.

Although on the second day, the fire went out again because Zhuang Rui wouldn’t be able to keep the kindling, but after a period of time of figuring it out, as long as there was dry wood from dead leaves, Zhuang Rui was able to skillfully start the fire almost within ten minutes.

Just do not have the tools, those oysters are difficult to barbecue eat, which makes Zhuang Rui look at the sea swimming fish itchy.

But a few times in the sea fishing, Zhuang Rui were those fish teasing the body, but also fully understand the meaning of the idiom “like a fish in the water”.

But Zhuang Rui did find a good place to fish, that is from his landing place seven or eight miles away from a canyon, said the canyon is a little bit not appropriate, because in the valley only a fifty or sixty square meters in size of the water pool.

The water of the pool is not deep, the deepest place is only five or six meters, climbed to the two sides of the smooth reef washed by the sea, you can clearly see the entire pool, beautiful and transparent like a blue jewel in general.

May be caused by volcanic eruption, water pool on both sides are cliffs, the middle of the concave in, after years of seawater wash, water pool and the sea between, there is a width of just two or three meters, the depth of more than a meter gap.

Due to the peculiar environment, some of the more ferocious killers of the sea could not come in, and this water pool naturally became a paradise for the fish.

Standing at the edge of the water pool, one could clearly see all kinds of sea fish swimming in it, the big ones were one or two feet long, and the small ones were only the size of a finger.

Ever since Zhuang Rui inadvertently discovered this place, the water pool lost its calmness, every day Zhuang Rui came to practice his water skills, trying to see if he could catch a fish to improve his life, except that this dude tossed around in the water for several days, and tragically failed to catch a single fish.

“Brother is here!”

Every day when catching fish, is the most happy time for Zhuang Rui, so after seeing the javelin production success, Zhuang Rui can no longer hold back, immediately put the exploration of the island things to one side, giddy with the javelin rushed to that water pool run.

To say that this has a weapon is not the same, after the first few misses, I do not know is a blind cat meets a dead rat or what is going on, Zhuang Rui a javelin stuck a more than a foot long, covered with silver scales of the big fish.

“Haha, hahaha!”

Zhuang Rui’s laughter echoed above the water pool, no animals had been seen coming to the seashore in the past few days, and Zhuang Rui had gotten a lot bolder, or else he wouldn’t have risen to the idea of exploring the island.

“Plop!”

Zhuang Rui jumped down to the water pool, grabbed the javelin and picked up the big fish, and after climbing up to the shore on his hands and knees, he looked for dead leaves and firewood near the side of the water pool.

“Click …… click …… click ……”

With the impact of the knife and the volcanic stone, a few sparks fell on the sun baked scorched dry dead leaves, the leaves were immediately blackened by the sparks, Zhuang Rui hastily put together his mouth and gently blew a breath.

This blowing is also skillful, blowing gas is big, the spark is directly blown out, but blowing small, and not enough to let the dead leaves ignite, Zhuang Rui is fumbling for days, before mastering this skill.

Unfortunately, Zhuang Rui has always been not away from the coin size of the archaeological magnifying glass, do not know where it fell, otherwise the fire is a fairly easy thing, directly with the magnifying glass focusing sunlight can be.

After leading the fire, Zhuang Rui hurriedly disemboweled the fish that weighed seven or eight pounds, and after throwing away the internal organs, he looked for a tough tree branch to put it on and hung it above the fire.

“Fragrant …… really fucking fragrant!”

Smell the aroma of baked fish, Zhuang Rui mouth side of the hala came out, came to the island for almost a week, Zhuang Rui has not eaten cooked food, at this time smelled the fish flavor, Zhuang Rui’s tears are almost flowed out, of course, this is the tears of excitement.

“Hush …… hush ……”

Have not waited for the fish completely baked, Zhuang Rui do not care about the hot hands, tear off a fish meat stuffed into the mouth, hot Zhuang Rui can not stop hush mouth, even the flavor of the fish are not tasted out.

Knowing that he can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, Zhuang Rui finally calmed down, tossed and turned the fish roasted golden brown, and put it aside to cool for a while, which began to taste up.

“Tasty, really tasty.”

Zhuang Rui, who had eaten fish for more than twenty years, felt for the first time that the fish meat was so delicious, a hundred times more delicious than all the good things he had eaten before. And this fish meat is delicate, except for a big fish bone, there is no more thorns, just the fish meat is two or three pounds, at this time all arrived in Zhuang Rui’s stomach.

After eating the fish bone, Zhuang Rui left, this thing in the back can also be useful, now Zhuang Rui is penniless, must use up every bit of resources.

“I need to get some salt.”

After eating, Zhuang Rui felt as if something was missing, he had been eating raw seafood and coconuts for the first few days, but with cooked food, salt was going to be a necessary condiment.

But in the seaside salt production, is the most simple but, as long as the place near the coconut grove, dig a shallow and large area of the pit, lead salty water in the past, and then use the heat brought about by sunlight, sunshine for a period of time, there will be salt precipitation.

Although this is not the so-called iodized salt, but there is absolutely no problem to consume, after eating the grilled fish, Zhuang Rui is full of energy, immediately began to act.

More than three hours later, next to the coconut grove was Zhuang Rui whole a ten or so square meters of open space, and dug open the soft sand of the beach, led some seawater in.

But want to out of salt, I’m afraid that there are still three to five days time, looking at the sky is late, Zhuang Rui sat under a tall coconut tree.

These two days of night, Zhuang Rui are spent in the woods, because he was really frightened by that high tide at night, simply killing ah!

Because of the javelin being made, there was a day’s delay, and after eating his fill in the evening, Zhuang Rui began to prepare the second piece of equipment he would need to explore the deserted island tomorrow.

Wanting to step into this deserted island, Zhuang Rui also needed a pair of shoes.

If barefoot, not to mention entering the interior of the island, is out of the beach to walk to the woods, Zhuang Rui’s feet have been pierced several times, without a pair of shoes, Zhuang Rui can only wander on the beach.

“Click ……”

Zhuang Rui used a knife to cut open his jeans, the leg below the knee, was cut off by him as a whole, and then from the place where the jeans were ruptured, he drew out a few thin lines.

At this time the fish bone came in handy, Zhuang Rui found a thick and hard fish bone, after breaking it, with the tip of the knife carefully pierced a hole in the big head, even if it is a simple sewing needle.

“Grandma, art really fucking comes from life!”

Looking at the needle and thread in his hand, Zhuang Rui lamented, knowing that he had learned all these lessons from the movies.
