Ice Season: Day 37 at Sea 3

Luo Ze was very envious.

Yun Mianmian saw him staring at the knife, so she said, "It's okay. When we win first place, you can go back and buy one too."

Luo Ze: "Yeah."

Yun Mianmian: "Let's cut down trees first. You can teach me knife skills later when you have time."

Yun Mianmian put away the horizontal knife.

The two cut down a lot of trees and took them back in several batches.

Because of the experience of surviving on a deserted island last time, Yun Mianmian quickly built a shelter with everyone.

It's just that the food is a little less. Wen Yushi only picked a few wild vegetables, which is not enough for four people.

There was still some work left to fill in the gaps in the shelter. Yun Mianmian asked Du Changsong and Luo Ze to finish it together, and she took Wen Yushi to find food again.

She found three strong branches, sharpened the ends, and tied them together to make a three-pointed harpoon.

Although it was only five o'clock, it was already dark.

Wen Yushi said helplessly: "The water in the waterfall is too fast, and I didn't see any fish in it."

Yun Mianmian: "It's okay, let's go and have a look."

She held the harpoon tightly in her hand, "It's getting dark, it's easier to catch fish, let's weave two fish baskets tomorrow."

Wen Yushi nodded: "Okay, I can also make traps."

Yun Mianmian: "That's even better, food is very important. At the beginning, we have to collect more food to ensure that we can eat enough every day. This should be a key point to get extra points."

The two came to the foot of the waterfall, and sure enough, the water here was very fast. After all, it came down from such a high mountain with a big drop, but after walking a while, the water flow gradually slowed down.

Yun Mianmian squatted down and said to Wen Yushi, "Generally, places with fast-flowing water are more likely to have shrimps and crabs. It doesn't matter if we don't see any fish. We can look for holes nearby."

Wen Yushi listened and immediately walked to the front, "Okay, I'll go over there and take a look."

It's more efficient for two people to look together.

Yun Mianmian was wearing gloves, so she reached into the hole when she saw it.

There is no limit on how many clothes you can wear in this deserted island survival. The main reason is that the players are too cold. Some people don't have polar cold-proof clothes, so they can only wear more. You can't let them wear only one or two pieces of clothes, so Yun Mianmian took advantage of the loophole and put on everything you can wear.

Helmet, gloves, scarf, etc., everything you can put on your body.

As soon as you put your hand in, Yun Mianmian immediately felt something inside.

It looks like a crab.

Yun Mianmian was afraid that the pliers would pinch her hands, so she didn't continue using her hands. Instead, she switched to a harpoon, reached in and poked the crab out.

It worked.

After a while, the crab in the hole crawled out.

As soon as it showed its head, Yun Mianmian quickly reached out and pressed the crab's back, pinched its shell, and picked it up.

Yun Mianmian: "I found one."

Wen Yushi also said: "I also saw a hole here. I don't know if there is anything inside, but I saw bubbles in the water."

Yun Mianmian: "Wait a minute, let me take a look."

Yun Mianmian walked over quickly and took a closer look. "It should be a crab too."

She did the same thing, poked it in with the harpoon, and pried it twice, and soon the crab came out.

Yun Mianmian was quick to press it.

Yun Mianmian: "I can't take it off. Help me pull some vines so we can tie up the crab."

Wen Yushi: "Okay."

She just stood up and suddenly said: "Ah, our group's score has increased!"

Yun Mianmian: "Really?"

"Yes, I always open the panel, so I can see the changes at any time."

Yun Mianmian is not used to opening the panel all the time, which can easily affect herself and make her unable to concentrate.

After hearing what Wen Yushi said, she opened the panel.

I saw that there was a score next to their group chat, which had changed from zero to more than one hundred.

Wen Yushi: "It's so fast, there are already 100. Can catching two crabs give such a high score?"

Yun Mianmian: "It shouldn't be that bad."

Yun Mianmian looked back at the location of the shelter, "Maybe it's because our shelter is just built."

Wen Yushi: "Yes! I don't know the scores of other groups."

Yun Mianmian thought of the last desert island survival experiment.

"Maybe the ranking list will be announced in the last two days."

"Yes, it was like this before."

"You pick up a stick and look for crabs here, just do what I just did, I'll go to the front to see if I can fork two fish."

Yun Mianmian walked towards the lake alone and gave the flashlight to Wen Yushi.

Wen Yushi: "Is it okay if you don't have a flashlight? Do you want me to give it to you?"

Yun Mianmian smiled and turned on the headlamp on her helmet: "It doesn't matter, I have this."

Wen Yushi was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that she also had a headlamp, why didn't she bring it with her.

However, Yun Mianmian's headlamp was mounted on her helmet, and it might be considered a piece of clothing by the system. If she only wore a headlamp, it would probably be counted as an item.

Yun Mianmian originally just wanted to try it out, but she didn't expect it to really work.

With the headlamp, she doesn't have to hold the flashlight in one hand and the harpoon in the other hand when fishing at night. Now it is very convenient.

However, she doesn't know how long the battery of the headlamp can last, so she has to use it sparingly.

With a little moonlight, Yun Mianmian could still see the road clearly, so she turned off her headlights and turned them on again when she went fishing.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Yun Mianmian finally saw the lake.

The lake was very large, and Yun Mianmian looked carefully and found mussels on the ground near the lake.

But she didn't know if these mussels were edible. Yun Mianmian was worried about red tide,

which would make the mussels poisonous. If red tide occurs in the water here, the seaweed will be poisonous. If the mussels eat the seaweed, the toxins will accumulate in the mussels.

If people eat this kind of mussels, they will have diarrhea and may even be in danger of their lives.

Yun Mianmian must be careful.

In this team experiment, the system may have set traps for players in various places.

Sure enough, Yun Mianmian picked up the mussels.

[Mussels: Red tide has broken out, and the shellfish toxins in mussels exceed the standard. Please do not eat them.]

If you have the skill to collect, pick up the mussels and check them, you will find that mussels cannot be eaten.

But if you don’t have the skill to collect, it may be more dangerous than good.

Yun Mianmian threw away the mussels and went back to tell everyone about it.

Yun Mianmian walked around the lake and found that the water here was very deep. It was unlikely that she would be able to catch fish directly with a harpoon.

The lake was covered with floating ice, half of it was water and half of it was ice. The lake water was blue and clear.

The scenery was very beautiful, the kind of pure natural beauty that healed the soul.

Fortunately, the water surface was not completely frozen, so it seemed feasible to make a fish basket or a fishing net.

They could even make a raft and row it to the middle of the lake, where there must be more fish resources. They could put the fishing net and fish basket in the middle of the lake and come to get them every morning. If they were lucky, they would be able to get food steadily.

But if she wanted to eat fish tonight, she had to think of a way. With such icy water, she couldn't go into the water to catch fish, so she could only look for opportunities on the shore.

Yun Mianmian walked around the area and picked some edible wild vegetables.

But her goal was not these wild vegetables, but to find a way to make a fishing rod.

She found that the woods here were basically birch shrubs. The sap of the birch trees was drinkable and could be used to make beverages. It not only replenished the vitamins needed by the human body, but also had anti-inflammatory effects.

Yun Mianmian didn't have a container, otherwise she could have collected some.

But she cut down two trees and cut off a thin trunk from the tree.

It could be used to make a fishing rod.

She also found a Y-shaped branch to make a fish hook.

These had all been made before.

She moved quickly and made the fishing rod and fish hook in a short while.

The remaining fishing line was also easy to handle. Yun Mianmian picked a few plants, peeled off the skin of the plants, twisted them into a thin line, and then connected the fishing rod and fish hook to complete the job.

The inedible mussel meat that was just thrown away is just right for making fish bait. People can't eat it, but it's still a good choice for fishing.

She stood by the lake and threw the fishing line with the hook into the lake.

Not long after, she felt the fishing rod move, and when she pulled it up, she found a trout.

Trout has high nutritional value, mainly because it has more meat and less bones. Although this trout is not very big, it is a good sign since it is the first one caught.

Yun Mianmian put the trout aside and pressed it down with a stone, and then continued fishing.

Maybe because of the good luck of having everything she wants come true today, Yun Mianmian caught several fish one after another.

In addition to trout, there is also Arctic char.

This kind of char is similar to salmon.

Not only can it be eaten raw, but it can also be smoked or made into dried fish, which can be stored and eaten slowly.

After catching three fish and processing them by the lake, Yun Mianmian prepared to go back.

She hung all the fish on the fishing rod, and then cut down two birch trees to carry them back together.

Although birch trees are ordinary, they have many uses. Not only is

the juice drinkable, but its trunk and bark are also useful.

The trunk is straight and can be used to make furniture, and the bark is easy to peel off and is often used to weave utensils. Yun Mianmian wants to weave a fish basket, so she needs this thing.

The bark of two trees should be enough to make a large fish basket.

Just as she was about to go back, she saw smoke in the air not far away.

It looked like cooking smoke, probably because some players were making a fire there.

Yun Mianmian just memorized the direction silently and didn't go to see it.

It was very close to the lake and behind the woods, which was also suitable for building a shelter. It might be a team with good strength.

-Back

in the shelter, everyone was already waiting for Yun Mianmian to come back.

Everyone was excited to see Yun Mianmian returning with a full load of fish.

Everyone came forward to pick her up.

Wen Yushi helped her get the fishing rod, and Du Changsong took a tree trunk she handed over.

Du Changsong was already starving. He had eaten something on the boat in the morning but had not eaten anything properly until now. He said excitedly, "Is there fish to eat?"

Yun Mianmian: "Lucky, I caught a few fish. I'll eat two of them, including crabs, and save one for breakfast tomorrow."

Wen Yushi: "Okay! We'll wait for you to come back and cook."

Luo Ze also stopped what he was doing. He had just been chopping wood and splitting tree trunks into pieces of firewood. You

can never have too much firewood, you must always have some on hand, and after splitting it, cover it with a waterproof cloth to prevent it from getting wet, so that even if it rains, there will be dry firewood to use.

Yun Mianmian put the birch trunk aside, went to wash her hands under the waterfall, washed the wild vegetables she picked twice, and then filled a pot with water.

Everyone was waiting for Yun Mianmian to cook, waiting with hunger, mainly because they knew that the food Yun Mianmian cooked was delicious and had a beneficial effect.

Otherwise, they could have roasted these crabs themselves.

Wen Yushi caught a total of four crabs and Yun Mianmian planned to cook a pot of seafood soup directly.

The remaining two fish were roasted.

Yun Mianmian and the others looked at him eagerly, and said helplessly: "I neglected to tell you earlier. In fact, you don't have to wait for me. I didn't bring anything this time. Boiled seafood and ordinary grilled fish alone will not have any effect. They must be cooked to be delicious and beneficial."

Everyone looked disappointed. Yun Mianmian said again: "Today is the first day. I didn't find any seasonings. I will look for it tomorrow. If I'm lucky, I can find some plants to replace seasonings."

Wen Yushi: "Okay, I'll look with you tomorrow."

Du Changsong: "It's okay, as long as there is food."

Yun Mianmian cooked crabs while the others helped grill the fish. Soon the food was ready.

Although it was light, everyone was so hungry that everything tasted delicious. Moreover, the ingredients were very fresh and sweet. They were not processed, so it was good to eat them in their original flavor.

On the contrary, Yun Mianmian herself was not used to eating.

Because she ate too much good food, her mouth was full of it. On the contrary, the other people on the boat only ate some ordinary food. They didn't have starfish coins and were reluctant to buy seasonings. They found these things very delicious.

Yun Mianmian told everyone what she had just seen, "I just saw someone lighting a fire by the lake. I guess it's another group of people. They are very close to us. Maybe we can see them next time we go fishing by the lake."

Du Changsong said while eating, "I saw someone talking in the regional chat again, saying that we can form an alliance and team up. There is strength in numbers. We can wait until the last two days to separate."

Wen Yushi: "Our group's score is already 160. Fishing and catching crabs can increase the score."

She observed the score when she caught the crab, and it really increased.

Du Changsong: "In this case, if we form an alliance with other groups, it doesn't seem to have any impact, right? Anyway, we all find resources to survive."

He glanced at Yun Mianmian. After all, she was the captain and he had to listen to her.

Yun Mianmian: "It seems that there is no harm or benefit at present."

Du Changsong suggested: "The benefit is that everyone can work together to make the shelter better and bigger, so the score will be higher. With more people, everyone can work together, and the speed is fast. At worst, they can help us, and we will help others."

He thinks their shelter looks a bit small. After all, it was made in an afternoon, so how can it be luxurious?
