Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 52 No.40 Six Days, Fishing

The memories of last night hit me so hard that I almost lost control of my emotions.

It was almost early morning before I slowed down.

So now my head is in pain like a needle prick, and my injured arm is getting more and more painful because of the overloaded carrying yesterday.

But also because of the emotional outburst yesterday, my mentality has become very stable now, and the originally suppressed mood has been released all of a sudden.

I don’t know why recently, my body feels tired, and I still feel drowsy, but at about this point every day, I can’t fall asleep again.

"That's all." I sighed and got up.

I usually seldom eat the staple food in the morning, just take a few fruits and nibble a few times.

When I came outside the house, I saw a vibrant state. Facts have proved that the decision to transplant this small garden is very wise.

Many small butterflies, bees, and flying insects are attracted by the fragrance of the flowers, and they are busy flying up and down in the flowers.

The fragrance of flowers rushed to my face with the direction of the wind, I took a deep breath, the air mixed with the smell of various small flowers made me almost intoxicated.

Today is another fine day. I am going to pick up some sea turtle eggs first, and then I will try to use these broken nets to see if I can catch some seafood.

After many days, I don’t know whether these turtle eggs can still be eaten, and whether there will be baby turtles inside. Yes, I have no common sense in this area. I don’t know how long the turtle hatching cycle is. So I was still a little apprehensive.

After many days of seawater washing, there are no traces of sea turtles digging pits to lay eggs on the beach, only flat dry sand.

I didn't need to look for it at all. That night I saw that the entire beach was almost full of sea turtles. I thought that one night should not be enough for all the sea turtles to lay eggs.

Although I haven't visited after that, there should be many waves of turtles.

Indeed, when I picked a place at random and scratched the sand with my hands, a pile of turtle eggs appeared in front of me.

In order to verify my guess, I picked up a turtle egg at random, but it was different from the first time I got it. The first turtle egg was soft, but this time, the shell was as hard as an egg.

I pinched it hard and crushed it. The viscous yolk in the turtle egg flowed in my palm and dripped from my fingers. I could see clearly that there were no baby turtles or baby turtle embryos that I was worried about. .

This made me very happy. Sea turtle egg fried rice is one of Xiao Hei's favorite foods, and his greedy appearance last time was still deeply engraved in my mind.

When I first went out to look for turtle eggs, I originally wanted to take it with me, but this guy actually caught butterflies by the edge of the small garden. Seeing it rush into the flowers several times and trample down several clusters of small wild flowers, I feel a little distressed. After all, it was transplanted with great difficulty and survived.

However, in the end I didn't scold it, I don't want to blame it for such a trivial matter.

So when I came to the beach, it was still teasing butterflies and small flying insects there, and ignored me at all.

The number of turtle eggs is huge. In just ten minutes, I got hundreds of turtle eggs that are smaller than ping pong eggs. The basin I brought with me was filled to the brim.

After going back and forth a few times, I should have stockpiled more than [-] eggs. These milky white turtle eggs were piled up in a plastic basket with a layer of leaves on the bottom.

The sea water is still big today, and there is no sign of ebb. Originally, I wanted to go to the sea and set up a fishing net to catch some seafood and improve the taste.

However, the tide is so strong, I am afraid that I will accidentally fall into the deep pit under the sea surface, and I don't want to lose my life for food.

But I didn't give up my plan to get seafood. I had an idea. I've seen others cast nets before, so I started to tinker with it from memory.

I went back to the tree house, chose a fishing net with the smallest mesh, and tied up the broken fishing net with hay. After repairing all the damage, I found stones larger than the mesh in the yard and put them Fold up the edge of the fishing net, wrap it in the fishing net, and pass the rattan through the fishing net to tie these stones firmly in the fishing net.

Soon, I folded the fishing net into an oval shape, with small stones wrapped around it.

The small stones are not used much, there are more than ten pieces, and there are four larger stones, which I put on the four corners.In the middle of the entire oval fishing net, I tied a very long and thick vine to it.

It only took four to 10 minutes to make this rough hand-throwing net that I have only seen a few times before, and it was completed.

Of course, the choice of where to throw the net is also very important. I can't just go to the beach and throw it at the beach. I guess I can only throw it at my feet.

I chose the edge of the reef. The reason is very simple. There is a large deep area outside the reef, which is several meters long. In my impression, there will be many small fish and shrimps hiding on the edge or bottom of the rock. It will attract predatory fish.

More importantly, if I stand on the reef, I only need to throw forward one or two meters to make the net reach deep water, which is why I choose this place.

Soon, I wrapped a section of the vine around my arm, reserved some vines, and put it on the ground. Then, I grabbed the middle of the hand-throwing net, and threw it vigorously. After two turns, I threw it...

The result surprised me, the whole throw net was squeezed together and fell straight into the sea.

Of course it was a failure the first time. It would be strange to be able to catch fish if this continues.

The second time, fail!

The third time, fail!

……

No.30 six times, failed!

……

It worked! ! !I don't know how many times I threw it, but when I was about to doubt my life, the whole hand throwing net finally spun successfully like a handkerchief being held up by fingers, and flew out.

Immediately afterwards, it was pulled steadily by the rocks and fell into the sea, and sank to the bottom of the sea with a "poof".

I hurriedly followed its sinking speed and quickly placed the vines. This hand threw the net, the lower the net, the faster the speed, I had to speed up the speed of my vines several times.

Finally, when there were not many vines in my hands, the hand-throwing net finally came to the end.

I didn't pull it up immediately, but waited for a while, and I seemed to be able to hear the struggle of the fish on the vine.

After rubbing my hands vigorously back and forth a few times, I began to pull back, and my eagerness made all the strength in my whole body burst out.

"It's so heavy!" I shouted excitedly while pulling.

The hand-throwing net is about to come out of the water. Will there be fish in this heavy hand-throwing net?

I couldn't help but widen my eyes, just waiting for the moment when the fishing net broke out of the water!
"Out!"

"This……!"
