Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 176 The Hundredth Day, Midakon's Heart Knot

The atmosphere in the past few days was not particularly good, so the communication between everyone was much less, and the harmonious atmosphere was not as harmonious as before.

The whole atmosphere has always had an air of sadness.Everyone is hard at work.In just a few days, Brother Qian and the others dug a bigger earthen stove. This earthen stove and stove are more than twice the size of what I made, and they also fired all the tile embryos I made earlier. up.

In the past, firing all the tile embryos was an unimaginably huge project. I always thought it might take a long time, but I didn't expect that these fired tiles could be used to pave the roof so soon. .

Although Mi Dakang has not fully recovered, he can take care of himself completely. His ligament is injured. It may take some time before he can do some physical work, but I have fully recovered to my original state a few days ago up.

Maybe it was because he didn't run away alone in the end and took him with him to escape. Mi Dakang changed his indifferent appearance before and started to get closer to me, and he talked more. Maybe this life and death experience is also true It made him wake up a lot.

Through these few days of communication, I have a deeper understanding of why he became like this.There is also a reason why he became like this. His original personality was not like this. According to his own statement, he was also a very cheerful person before coming here.

This time, Mi Dakang was not the only one on the cruise ship, but his family. A total of sixteen relatives in the family were on board. Unfortunately, he was the only one who escaped and came here.This incident had undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to him, and he was suffering unimaginable pain in his heart.

He also thought that all his emotions had disappeared in the accident. After arriving on the island, he kept blaming himself for not being with his relatives when the accident happened.His parents, his most beloved sister Mi Youyou, his brother-in-law Yao Xiaoqiang who has always been respectful to him, and his girlfriend Asang all left him.Originally, he always thought that he was the luckiest person, and everything around him was so beautiful...

But this accident shattered all his dreams and closed his heart. He didn't wake up until after he narrowly escaped death.Since I was able to escape from death, is it possible that my relatives have also been rescued?After all, there were many lifeboats and life rafts on the cruise ship at that time. Wouldn't it be more annoying if they died here while they were saved?
He told me these things on his own initiative. I never thought that he would be so unfortunate. Ordinary people might have already collapsed, and they might even have lost the desire to survive.It can only be said that Midakon's heart is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

After uttering these words, I saw him take a few deep breaths, and his inner emotions fluctuated many times. At this juncture, I couldn't comfort him.But it was obvious that after speaking all these repressed inner thoughts, he was obviously much more relaxed.And I also understand his thoughts, at least now our two goals are the same, that is to find a way to get out of here.

Of course, 01:30 should also think so. As for Brother Qian and Ye Qingchen, although they may also think so, I have no way to be sure until I hear their clear statement.

Now at least three people have the same idea, and I also told Midakon about my idea, telling him that I plan to start building a ship after finishing this stage, and the ship can be built slowly, but It must be done, at least it can give hope to those who want to leave here.

And if it's just me, then the shipbuilding plan may take more time, although even after the ship is built, there will be many problems involved, even power, food and fresh water are problems.

He also reminded me that there is still a small lifeboat that can be used, but to be honest, this kind of lifeboat without any fuel is too small for us, and it may not even be able to break out of the offshore waves.

But if we can make a larger boat, use fishing nets and tarpaulins or other substitutes to make sails, and use the sea wind to escape here, it is relatively more reliable.But how large the ship should be, how to build it, and how to fix it are all problems.

It is not an easy task to have enough fresh water and food in a boat that can carry five of us.It is a problem to make a ship that can go to sea within a year.

Hearing my idea, Midakon was obviously very interested, and even he was ready to start working on it immediately, but I also threw out all the questions... These questions really extinguished Midakon's original excitement , it is obvious that his current mentality is still in a state of excitement, throw these questions to him in advance, so that he can return to reason.

I will talk to other people when I am going to wait, after all, I don't know their thoughts very well.In addition, a strange thing has happened in the past few days. The trap is always touched, but when we go to see it, there is nothing inside.Already three times!

Because the recent weather is relatively hot, the bottom of the pit has already become very dry and hard. We did not find any footprints or anything, but the strange thing is that every time a branch used to cross the top of the trap is leaned against on the wall of the pit.

None of us could figure out what did it, and even Ye Qingchen thought that there might be other people nearby, and he thought that someone must have stolen our prey.His reason is that there are several sharp branches stuck in the soil at the bottom that have been touched, and it is obvious that something has fallen.Falling from such a high place would usually result in injury, and at a height of about two meters, he couldn't think of any animal that could escape.All he suspected was that the prey might have been stolen.

The others didn't say much, they just decided to take turns to be on duty at night, no one for two hours, and prepared to catch the culprit, otherwise everyone would not be able to calm down.

……

In addition, in the past few days, everyone has not stopped. Brother Qian and the others dug up a lot of arrowroot and preserved them in their own way. These arrowroots are enough for us to use for a long time. If we are not afraid of monotony, we can eat them for a month. not a problem.

In addition, before this, Ying Yuefeng also found several kinds of edible wild vegetables. Although he is no longer here, Brother Qian and the others have eaten them many times in the previous base, and they are very familiar with these wild vegetables. They found quite a few by the edge of the coconut grove.

In a civilized society, I hated eating vegetables very much, but in this place, vegetables have suddenly become a luxury, and I can’t eat them even if I want to. If I don’t eat them for a long time, I will definitely not be able to meet my body’s needs and will definitely lose my health.This is a result that no one wants, and now that Ying Yuefeng is gone, no one dares to try new wild vegetables, so these wild vegetables that have been eaten, even if they don’t taste very good, are regarded as key collection objects, even They also planned to plant.

However, due to inexperience, the first batch of wild vegetables they transplanted directly died. Maybe we are not familiar with the environment where they grow, which caused such consequences.But everyone believes that as long as we try a few times, we will always have the possibility of success.

……

The other tortoises are also living very well. The 01:30 who is responsible for taking care of them has already felt very clearly about their living habits. These tortoises eat fresh grass leaves and fruits four to five times a day, and they also like Take a bath in the puddle, and occasionally go to the sunlight that comes through the gaps between the trees to bask in the sun for a while.Breeding is not particularly difficult.

The only other headache for everyone is that there are more snakes recently, probably because it has not rained for a long time. Many snakes sneak into the shady tree house every day.Some of them are even poisonous snakes.

If it is daytime, the problem is not too big. The key is that most snakes come to the treehouse at night. Because I sleep on the upper floor of the treehouse and Xiao Hei, basically no snakes can enter the upper floor of the treehouse. It's more reassuring to get.

On the other hand, because Brother Qian and the others slept in the lower level of the tree house, and the door was open at night to make it cool, snakes often entered. This was also a very serious problem.Of course, no one wants to die so uselessly, so they also thought of many methods, but one method still worked, that is, at night, a fire was lit at the door of the tree house.Since the fire was lit, there have been no snakes approaching. Although I don't know if this method really works, it seems to be very effective so far.

……

Once people get busy, they will feel that time passes quickly. It is true. These days can be described as fleeting in the blink of an eye. It doesn't take long for another day to pass.

Now that night has fallen, they finished the roof of the new tree house during the day. The tiles may not be able to block the strong typhoon last time, but this typhoon should not be so many, because I have done all the tiles It is very large, larger and heavier than glazed tiles in civilized society, so unless the weather is extreme, these tiles are enough to resist.

It has to be said that the tree house with tiles presents a taste of modern civilized society, and the whole appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes. It looks like an island villa in a tourist attraction.If you wait until all other things in the house are finished, such as tables, stools, beds... then coming to this tree house is like returning to a civilized society.

For this roof, Brother Qian and the others are also full of praise, and even thanked me several times. At first, they thought it was impossible to successfully fire the tiles, but they did not expect to be successful, so that they are now widely used.

And they are also very interested in burning bricks. Of course, this matter has to be slowed down recently. Because of the thickness, it is probably impossible to burn bricks with these branches.As for the issue of firing bricks, I also have plans for a long time.

That is to first make some charcoal according to the records in the notebook, and according to the simple description above, it should not be a very simple process to actually burn the charcoal, and it is likely to fail several times.And the quantity that can be obtained at one time will not be particularly large, and it needs to be collected countless times to meet the needs of firing bricks.

All of these require time and materials. Although the materials are everywhere, it cannot be completed in a day or two, so if you want to start in a short time, it is taken for granted.

But I was afraid that they might not understand, so I told them all these things. Of course, I still didn't mention anything about the notebook.This actually made them look at me with admiration. They never expected that I would know so much, and even be able to make charcoal. You must know that even Brother Qian doesn't know about this kind of thing, let alone me at such a young age.After all, the production of charcoal is too unpopular...

……

After chatting for a while, after a busy day, I saw that they all showed tired faces.Just let them go to bed first, and I will be the first to keep watch to observe the traps.They didn't shirk this point, because they were indeed tired.

This kind of vigil time is difficult to judge. Although it is agreed that everyone will have two hours, I am going to watch it for a while. After all, they see that I have just recovered, and they have not asked me to do anything recently.

Not long after, there were snoring sounds one after another in the house, and the activity at the door fluttered. In order not to let the creatures that destroy the trap see me, I sat at the door and poked my face slightly.

I think Ye Qingchen's thinking is definitely not correct. If there are other people in this place, we must have discovered it long ago, and even if they are people, if they fall into this kind of trap, they will not be unscathed at all. , so I think it must be some small animal that can climb, or a bird?That's my guess.

Sitting alone is also quite boring. In order to stay up late, I brought a cigarette specially, and lit one to refresh myself. Unfortunately, because I haven't smoked for a long time, I suddenly choked and coughed desperately.

Shaking his head, it seems that this addiction to smoking has been completely quit, and he can't take another puff, so he directly suppresses the cigarette that he only took a puff on the ground.Tossed aside.Although I don't smoke anymore, cigarettes are an absolute luxury for the few of them, and there is one less cigarette, if they just throw it away, they will definitely be scolded to death.

Time passed by every minute and every second, I almost fell asleep several times while sitting quietly, the moon had already reached the top of my head, I was still hesitating whether to wake up Brother Qian to replace me, but seeing them sleeping soundly, I Decided to hold on for a while.

At this time, several dark nights appeared beside the trap, chasing back and forth.Although I can't see what they look like at all, it is likely that these little things did it!
With a sound of "wow", the trap really collapsed, I immediately slapped Brother Qian and the others to wake them up, and then all of them quietly walked towards the trap together.

The little guy in the pit didn't notice anyone approaching at all, and the ones he was chasing had already run away when the trap collapsed.We stood by the trap for 5 minutes!
As for why we stood there for 5 minutes, it was because we saw the whole process and were amazed by this little thing!

This little thing is not a mysterious species, it is a honey badger!It's a honey badger like lightning!

But we saw the whole process of its escape!It actually picked up a branch on the ground with two potentials, then leaned the branch against the edge of the trap, stepped on the branch and climbed out of the trap. The branch was only a little over a meter away, and finally Tens of centimeters still couldn't stop it, and ran away with a light leap.

If we hadn't seen the whole process, we wouldn't have believed it, but the honey badger is so smart!
