Desert Island Records: PUBG

Chapter 27 Fishing
After enjoying the umami-rich kelp, Zhou Hui did not drink the boiled kelp clear soup, but poured it directly into the sea. In addition to the umami, there is also a slight bitterness in it.

After rinsing out the iron pot for cooking kelp with sea water, Zhou Hui placed himself next to the fire, throwing branches torn from everywhere into the flames, watching the large amount of white smoke coming out, and sighing with emotion over the past few days on the island. experience.

From being washed up on the island in an extremely harsh environment, to now being able to find food, fire, enough water, building a residence, and probably exploring the entire island, heh, the basic living conditions are barely satisfied!
Thinking back to the situation, the hardships, the blows, the dangers, the results he got in the past few days since he went to the island, and how he was finally able to sit on the beach and think about these leisurely, Zhou Hui suddenly There is a feeling of being redeemed, and the feeling of suffering is really good, but I am a little regretful that there is no second person next to me who can share this.

From the beginning to the present, to be honest, no matter in terms of time, suspicion or environment, he has never really relaxed himself for a moment, and it has always been a short rest.

Although he also wanted to let his body rest early and relax his mind, he was really afraid that an accident would come the next moment and blow the relaxed self into a cold dead body.

Therefore, for a few days, his mind was full of how to survive, or improve the quality of life, and then survive better.

As a result, the nervousness and the desire to survive that never allowed any mistakes almost filled his head, and there was no room left, so that, until now, he finally had space in his head for himself to think about or express his emotions.

And, and... and his friends and family...

Thinking of the city thousands of miles away, thinking of his parents and very close friends, Zhou Hui became silent for a while.

Just thinking about this kind of result, he didn't want to think about it any more. Frankly speaking, he was not a psychologically strong person, and such a thing was too heavy.

Will he be rescued... will he have a chance to see his parents again... or will he be rescued decades later, only to find out after returning that everything is not what he remembered, and he will not even survive At that time... so that the worst results...

If you don't live until then, you will never be able to wait for rescue...

The sea breeze was rustling, Zhou Hui became more silent after thinking about it, half lowered his head, his emotions were infected by what he was thinking.

It's not that he thinks too much, but that he has to face the naked reality.

Just like that, Zhou Hui sat on the beach, facing the churning sea, and meditated for a long, long time.

After a long time, he was woken up by the cold sea wind that suddenly became much stronger.

Dragging the warm coconut bowl with both hands, he took a sip of the still-warm hot water, his attention was brought back a little, and Zhou Hui looked up at the sky.

The sky was gray.

There are neither too many nor too many clouds, neither too concentrated nor too scattered, the temperature is neither high nor low, neither hot nor cool.

Everything is just right.

Everything seems to have just reached a balance, and the next moment the balance will be broken, and it will develop in a bad direction without reluctance...

Today's weather is better than yesterday, the sky is slightly brighter, but the sun is still invisible, there are shallow dark clouds, I don't know if it will continue to rain today.

After all, there was a light rain this morning, and with the weather of the past few days, this made him feel that it would probably rain today, and it would continue to rain.

Zhou Hui no longer had any hope for the weather today. He only hoped that tomorrow would be a clear and sunny day, with the sun emitting warm and bright light in the sky.

In his free time, Zhou Hui sat on the sand, found a finger-thick wet branch everywhere, and used it to touch the sand.

One end of the branch galloped in the sand, drawing not-so-shallow traces, and the traces formed an ellipse in the form of lines.

Then, he circled a small semicircle in front of one side of the ellipse, with the gap facing outward, and drew a line from the small semicircle to the other end, indicating that this line and the nearest ellipse line are the beaches of the island.

Finally, the branches fell to the opposite direction of the beach and drew a second small semi-ellipse inside the big ellipse, with the gap facing outwards, which is the kelp reef.

So far, he has drawn a rough map of the island.

Zhou Hui carefully looked at the rough map drawn, thinking about the general situation on the island.

The road condition of the island is easy to walk, the terrain is average, there is no steep terrain, and most of it is forest vegetation, but nearly one-third of the place is completely rocky, which is completely worthless, but there is a large area in the ocean as far as the coastline. Kelp, others...

Gone……

That's right, it's gone.

There is no other reason, simply because the island is too small and the resources are scarce. Even a large piece of kelp, which is not worrying about the quantity, is strictly a product of the ocean, not a small island.

In fact, in terms of the area of ​​the island, it is not too small. When exploring, even if the terrain here is not undulating, you can walk through the island in a straight line for nearly 10 minutes to see the rocky land, plus the large rocks. In other places, the island as a whole will not be too small.

But the "small" here is not the area, but the "small" in resources, and the "small" in quantity.

In the woods, all that can be seen at a glance, except for trees, are unknown plants, and there is no change at all.

When it comes to rocky land, things are even more monotonous, one gray stone after another, more useless than plants.

And this is already all the resources on the island.

Although there are still many places he hasn't been to, but based on what he has seen and seen, Zhou Hui believes that there will be no more surprises like the kelp land.

There will be no shortage of fresh water, and few houses have been built. Food is still the biggest problem at present... Zhou Hui pondered.

Then he turned his gaze to the ocean.

Shells are related to the ocean, kelp is related to the ocean, crabs are related to the ocean, perhaps, he still needs to get food from the ocean!

Suddenly, he thought of the method of fishing!

Thinking of fishing, Zhou Hui was startled at first, and then became a little excited, because no matter it is the deep sea or the shallow sea on the beach, fish can be caught.

And how much time does it take to fish?
If you are lucky, you can see the fish soon after hooking the hook. It is usually possible for half an hour, one to two, or three hours. For him, as long as he can catch it, he does not need to take any risks, which means that he has earned money. up!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, no need to take risks, no need to waste energy, no trouble, and at the same time, there was a great possibility, just wait to die.

What's more, in his mind, he has already seen fat sea fish being caught again and again by himself. They are caught by the rushing white waves, and their fat bodies are struggling in mid-air full of ocean atmosphere, but they are still mentioned in the end. The sandy beach stands on top of the red flames that constantly emit high temperatures!
Although I have to say that there is an element of enthusiasm in it, but this is indeed real and feasible, and there is a certain probability.

There is no need to prepare anything for a desolate and resource-poor island. The decision is the beginning. After calming down his feverish brain a little, Zhou Hui started to prepare.

He first found a three-meter-long twisted wet branch in the woods, and then firmly tied one end of a small strand of long hemp rope that had been separated to the branch, and easily completed the most primitive fishing rod in human history.

He also thought about the bait. For breakfast this morning, the crab was not too big. Except for the crab meat and crab roe that had been eaten into the stomach, there were also crab gills and some unknown parts of the meat, which could be used to make Bait, just waste utilization.

In the last part of making the fishing rod, Zhou Hui walked on the beach with little sea breeze, looking for useful things from the gifts brought by the ocean, that is, the batch of garbage washed up by the sea.

Ten minutes later, he took a short piece of iron wire from a broken iron pencil case. Perhaps because of the corrosion of seawater and the poor quality of the pencil case, the iron wire was half out of the iron case when he found it.

At this point, the last part, the fishhook, has also been found.

The iron wire is bent into a hook, tied with a very thin hemp rope, and strung with meat such as crab gills.

Taking a newly made simple fishing rod, he walked into the constantly rushing sea water. After a brief observation, Zhou Hui stood on a large reef and confidently threw the fishhook into the churning sea water. middle.

When collecting conch shells, he can often see the shadows of delicious-looking fish swimming in the sea, and then quietly disappear after a white wave. This time, he felt that he could catch them.

Zhou Hui sat down in a good mood, held the pole with both hands, and watched the fishing line turbulent in the white waves.

He felt that when he was fishing for the first time, maybe he would be blessed by luck soon, and a plump sea fish would fall on him.

He began to wait.

Continue to wait patiently.

Be very patient.

……

Then, half an hour later, and another hour and a half later...

……

Not a single fish was hooked.

Only the fishing line bent from the iron sheet rolls alone in the white waves that only exist in sea water and nothing else.

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. 】

[6. Banana tree stems can be broken without the help of tools. Break off the banana trunk from a position near the ground, dig out the soft core of the tree stump on the ground, wait for a period of time, and automatically filter out the untreated ones. Fresh water, but don't expect much to spare. 】

【7. If you have the materials and time, you can try fishing. After all, this is not a waste of energy. Even if you really can't catch food, at least you can kill your time. 】
