Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 21 No.20 Five Days, Suddenly

I think I'm still very lucky.

After so many blows, I didn't fall down.

Today I have a lot of things to do, Xiao Hei is much better, and the wound has begun to scab. The most feared thing about this kind of penetrating wound is that it will not heal and it is most afraid of infection.

Now the pus and blood are no longer overflowing, and there is a layer of light transparent liquid on the wound.

This made me worry a lot less.

Today I came to the beach for the first time, I have to do one thing, I need salt!

I can't eat salt, and I feel that my appetite has dropped a lot.

Salt is not easy to come by, so I'm going to try another method.

Sun salt!

The beach by the sea cannot be exposed to the sun. I know this. Even if I dig a hole, it will seep through in a short time. Besides, I can't pick salt from the sand.

I have been strolling by the beach for a long time, wandering around several rocks, but none of them meet the requirements.

I can only keep looking.

I have been far away from the beach, and finally found a place on a rock by the sea that perfectly meets my requirements.

This is a pit with an area of ​​about eighty square meters.Not very deep, not more than eighty centimeters at the deepest point.

I also looked around carefully in the pit, and there were no holes.

It's very good, but it's a bit big. This place is about 20 meters away from the sea, which is not too far away.

But I know that if I want to get the sea water here, I will pay a lot of time and energy.

Fortunately, I don't lack these two things, and I have to stick to the decision no matter how difficult it is.

The two large plastic bottles I picked up before have become my main water transportation tools now. These two bottles are the largest I own, and they are about five liters each.

It is noon, the sun is very poisonous, and I have already drank one-fifth of the two bottles of fresh water tied to my body with canes, sweating for nothing.

The first time the water was poured, bursts of hot air came out of the stone pit, and many bubbles burst out. With the flow of seawater, more than half of the nearly ten liters of seawater evaporated quickly.

I noticed that at the edge of the pool of sea water, it had been evaporated to dryness, and there was a white spot of water.

I walked over, dipped my fingers in it, and licked it on the tip of my tongue, um, it was salty.

This discovery made me very excited, at least there was hope, and let me know that this work was not in vain.

As long as I work hard, bring in more water as soon as possible, at least enough for my life.

Time and time again, I went back and forth between the seaside and the stone pit. Although it was very hot, I was still full of confidence.

The speed of seawater evaporation is much faster than my transportation, so many times of traveling, only a little watermark is left in the rock pit.

The stone pit has long been scalded by the scorching sun, and this stone pit is really too big. I just realized now that at my speed, it is estimated that it will take many days to fill the pit.

I need a bigger container.

but I do not have!

Yes, now there is a trace of annoyance in my heart.

However, I forgot one particularly serious thing...

I started to feel dizzy, nauseated, and want to throw up.

Yes, I forgot to rest, forgot the scorching sun, and forgot the messages from my body.

In fact, my skin has already been scalded by the sun, and my hair feels like it is about to burn.

I have heatstroke!

Before I could react, the food still being digested in my stomach rushed up my throat.

I said "wow", bowed my head and vomited.

As a result, when I just lowered my head, a burst of dizziness hit me, my eyes went dark, and I fell down.

But, luckily, I hit my head on a rock and yes, I woke up again.

I could feel the pain in my forehead, and the blood was dripping from my forehead to the corner of my eye, but I didn't care because the vomit was stuck in my windpipe and I almost suffocated.

I rolled over with all my strength and lay on my side.

"Ahem" Finally, I coughed out the "perpetrator". In an instant, the kind oxygen began to circulate in my body again, and I was lucky to escape the capture of death again.

I wasn't completely out of danger, though, as I started to feel a terrible pain, my stomach turned over, my skin started to burn hotter, and my mind started to go into a trance.

I have to say that my desire to survive is particularly strong, and this is the only thing I can rely on to survive until now.

This place is some distance away from the coconut grove, and I'm not sure I can make it there.

So I made a decision in a very short time!

go to sea!That's right, go to the sea to cool down!

I have suffered from heat stroke many times before, so I also know how to deal with it after heat stroke.

Cool down and hydrate!It is better to replenish salt water!
Now, I have only one way, go into the sea, hide by the reef by the sea, escape from the direct sunlight, and let the body temperature drop as soon as possible.

It took me a long time to support my body and take a step towards the beach.

Heavy and strenuous, every step is accompanied by my panting like a cow. The oxygen I get with each breath can't keep up with my needs. Every step forward requires me to exhale and inhale several times.

Several times, I thought that I was about to fall down and couldn't hold on any longer, but in the end my body only shook a few times, and I held on to it, so I didn't fall down.

Of course, if I fall down, I think I must have no strength to get up.

"It's almost here, if you persist, you will be able to reach the sea soon!" I kept persuading myself like this in my heart, trying my best to convince myself.

My whole body has no strength at all, my headache is splitting, my mouth is dry and my throat is burning like fire, all my strength is supported by my will, I can't let go, I can't relax, I can't give up.

There are only five steps left, and I should be there, and I feel like my blood is about to boil.

With four steps left, my eyes begin to blur.

There are three steps left, I'm almost suffocating, I can't breathe, even if my mouth is wide open, I still can't feel the fresh air coming in.

There are two steps left, I can do it!I'm sure I can, I can't feel anything anymore, my five senses seem to have lost their function.

The last step, I finally did it!

The moment I stepped into the sea, my whole body was paralyzed.

Freed, saved, comfortable, breathable, cool...

All kinds of positive feelings surged up, and I lay on my back in the sea water next to the reef, letting the waves wash away.

Without a trace of strength, I felt like a red-hot iron rod suddenly thrown into cold water. Although there was no such sizzle sound, all the pores in my body began to close, locking the inside of my body. Severe loss of moisture.

I was very sleepy, which I had felt on the first day.

But I remind myself that I cannot sleep. Once I fall asleep, I will probably die, maybe drowned, maybe frozen to death, maybe dehydrated to death, I must replenish water as soon as possible, and it is salt water...

Carelessness is the greatest danger...
