Desert Island Records: PUBG

Chapter 11 The Proper Use of Coconut Crab

A blue coconut fell on the sand, but he didn't rush to pick it up, because soon, the second coconut also fell down under the unremitting efforts of the coconut crab, and hit the first coconut, on the sand. Roll several times.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Hui's mood became very good. After all, having meat and opening two coconuts with this meat is a very cost-effective thing no matter how you look at it.

In other words, if there are coconut trees elsewhere on the island, he no longer needs to find a way to climb the trees. As long as there are coconut crabs, this is not a problem!
Seeing that another green coconut was cut off and hit the coconut on the ground again, Zhou Hui felt that it was almost done, and when he pulled the rope in his hand, the coconut crab, um, or the tool crab that specializes in opening coconuts, was pulled away. The coconut tree waved its two large pincers feebly a few times before falling on the beach.

Ignoring the tool crab that fell on the ground, he first picked up a coconut and walked to the side of the crab that couldn't turn over before helping it turn over.

Then put the coconut in front of it.

Without pushing and shoving, the tool crab took the initiative to put its large pincers on the coconut shell and started its own job of tearing up the coconut shell.

In the hands of Zhou Hui, who is a human being, the coconut was barely able to open with all his strength and hardships. In the hands of the coconut crab, er, no, it was two large pincers, and it split open quickly. a seam.

The cracking sound of the coconut shell being torn apart reminded Zhou Hui, who had been watching the show next to him, of his miserable experience of opening the coconut shell. He couldn't help opening his mouth, and said to himself:
"Sure enough, majors are different..."

Soon, the coconut husk was torn apart, and the cracks on the coconut shell became wider and wider. Under the attack of such a small thing, a hole appeared in the coconut.

At this time, Zhou Hui, who had been waiting all this time, quickly picked up the broken coconut, smashed and tore it with the stone he brought, and the coconut was completely cut into two halves.

The clear coconut milk flowed into his mouth again, and the slightly sweet delicious molecules reappeared on the tongue, which made Zhou Hui finally taste, sweet, this taste again on this isolated island with no salt, no sugar, and no ingredients.

A small piece of coconut that was half the size of a palm was placed in front of the tool crab that climbed up to its legs, and the rest were all eaten by the humans standing next to it.

A piece of smooth, bouncy, soft and tender coconut meat is put into the mouth, the jelly-like touch comes first, followed by the fresh and tender touch and softness, but it is still chewy when it is really chewed. There is water in it, slightly sweet and sour, and a little bit of milky fragrance.

All in all, yes, delicious!
Satisfied, he swallowed a whole coconut into his stomach. Immediately afterwards, he put the second coconut in front of the tool crab. Zhou Hui only gave it a little food to keep his hunger. Soon, the second coconut It also started to open the shell.

After this green coconut shell was successfully broken, Zhou Hui hesitated this time when he looked at the tool crab waving two large crab claws at his feet, as if protesting against a black-hearted boss.

In the end, he broke off half a palm-sized coconut, put it on the sand, and placed it in front of it.

As for the rest, let it be enjoyed by itself.

Two coconuts were eaten quickly, and Zhou Hui did not open the third coconut, but put it out of the reach of a tool crab, which itself was tied up with a small crab leg by a string, and the other end of the string needed a stone hit live.

After finishing all this, Zhou Hui looked up at the shadow in the sky.

Shadow of dark clouds.

As for the sun that was expected to rise soon, it has already risen into the dark clouds, illuminating the dark clouds one after another very brightly, like dark clouds that can glow.

So, as a result, there is light, but no sun.

And this kind of light, like a thinly burning dark fire, can't dry the wet wood at all!
No, it's more than that... Zhou Hui lowered his head, thinking carefully.

Dark clouds, not only is there no strong light, but it will still rain!

It rained so much yesterday that there were no dark clouds. Today, maybe the rain will be heavier than yesterday!

Light rain, heavy rain?
Or a storm?
"No, you can't entrust your hope to the fact that the weather changes are not so strong. You must calculate the situation according to the worst situation. Yesterday, the tent was destroyed after a small rain. That is to say, today I have to build a bigger one. , a tent that is stronger, and the ground will not be soaked by water, no! A house will do!"

Slowly, Zhou Hui collected his thoughts and stepped into the island forest again.

Nothing else, still, collecting firewood!
Even if he can stay in a house without wind and rain, he doesn't want to be eroded by the cold air around him, which is very detrimental to his health and very threatening to his life on a desert island!
However, he has some troubles about how to build a house that has a shelter effect in all aspects.

Although he has moved bricks and seen other workers cut walls, it doesn't mean that it can also cut walls and build a house...he can't even fix a small house.

After breakfast, with strength, a large pile of firewood and dead leaves was quickly collected and thrown on the beach to evaporate water with light.

While waiting, Zhou Hui began to think of ways to light a fire.

He first picked out a few firewood and leaves with less moisture from the dry wood with leaves first shipped out, and then continued to use the previous method of rubbing firewood with sand and roasting the leaves with flames.

This time, the flame burning on the lighter did not directly touch the leaves, but kept a certain distance, and baked the wet leaves with the temperature radiating from the surroundings.

Although this will definitely waste the fuel in the lighter, in terms of effect, it is still good.

Four larger stones were soiled in the sand to serve as the body of the stove and the support of the iron pot, and then Zhou Hui started to light it among the four stones.

Watching, the candle flame on the lighter touched a dry leaf, and white smoke emerged from it, and then, the flame began to divert from the tip of the leaf it touched!
It worked!
Seeing the flames covering the leaves, Zhou Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly spread the rest of the dry leaves on top to stabilize the fire.

The flame was completely ignited, and dry firewood was placed on top of it, but besides the warm flame, there was also white smoke.

This is because the burning firewood still contains moisture.

Next, Zhou Hui piled more fuel with moisture on the ignited fire. After lowering the flame for a moment, in addition to keeping the fire stable, more white smoke immediately came out of the fire. rising!
So choking!
Beating the choking white smoke in front of him with his palm, Zhou Hui took a few steps back, coughed a few times, looked at the fire, looked at the white smoke, and didn't know what expression to show for a while.

The flame ignited, accompanied by white smoke, if this happened in the tent, I guess I would have choked to death!
Never mind, let's talk about the next thing... After confirming that the fire was ignited and the fire was stable, Zhou Hui moved out a small iron pot from the previous camp, which still contained half a pot of rainwater from last night, and put it directly on the flames.

Then, he turned his head to look at the tool crabs that were still running around on the beach.

He hesitated for a while, but he still picked up a relatively large stone and walked towards the tool crab.

Stopping in front of it, looking down at it crawling around and waving two large pincers, Zhou Hui hesitated, the right hand that raised the stone stopped in mid-air, and then slowly lowered it down.

Thinking of the time when he first saw it, thinking of its hard work, cutting coconuts, and opening the coconut shell, he was slightly silent, and finally let go of the rock in his hand.

It was cut off and the last coconut was placed in front of it.

The green skin was torn, the hard shell was torn, and Zhou Hui poured the clear coconut juice into the iron pot, and the coconut nuts, but in the end there were still half of them, and put them back in front of the coconut crab.

Zhou Hui's Desert Island Survival Notes:
[1. Coconut is a kind of plant that grows on many islands. It is a good choice for those who have first landed on the island, except that the coconut shell is really difficult to open. 】

[2. The beaches of ordinary islands are covered with a lot of waste products transported by the ocean. This is garbage belonging to the human world. However, for the deserted islanders, they can find very few precious resources from it. 】

[3. Under certain conditions, it is the best policy to boil fresh water to a boil, especially if there is no flowing stagnant water. Even if the stagnant water in Tanzhong is clean and clear, it needs to be heated to eliminate bacteria. Of course, the exception is the case of dying of thirst. 】

[4. In the face of plants or fruits that are not known to be toxic, you can apply the juice of the fruit to the skin. After a period of time, notice whether there is any discomfort or abnormality in the smeared skin area. There is no reaction and no toxicity. On the contrary, it is poisonous. 】

[5. If you really can’t open the coconut shell, you can find a coconut crab to try it. It is professional in opening coconuts, of course, if it cooperates.Tip: Be careful with the claws of live coconut crabs. 】
