Chapter 004 Deserted Island Life 1
It was pitch black in the middle of the night. Although the survival manual said that torches could be made for lighting, Xie Yunsui felt that the materials were very precious and it was risky to go out at night, so he rested in the camp.
I took a nap to replenish my energy. When I woke up, it was still dark. Little Bee said it would take another hour and a half before dawn.
Xie Yunsui had nothing to do and couldn't fall asleep, so he could only sit blankly under the shed and simply stored all the items he had accumulated in the shed.
The shed has two properties, one is for rest and the other is for storage. Just touch the storage button to put the things in your hand into the shed. In terms of game thinking, this is a warehouse.
The total capacity of the warehouse is only 200 units, and each item counts as one unit. Even a small blueberry that can't even fill your teeth is counted as one unit of item.
After two days of accumulation, he now has dozens of items accumulated in his warehouse.
There were the most wooden sticks, scattered everywhere on the ground, a total of 13. There were also many sturdy small wooden sticks, 11 in total, 8 large leaves, 5 large stone pieces, 1 sharp stone, 5 vines, 3 dry weeds, 2 resins, and 7 bamboos.
In addition, there is 1 stone knife, 1 stone axe, and 1 wooden hoe.
I seem to be very busy these two days, working non-stop from morning to night, but in fact I can't even make a pair of straw sandals.
Straw sandals require 4 dry wild grasses and 2 tree barks, and are made with bone needles. Bone needles require 1 bone spur and 1 large stone flake, and bone spurs will only drop randomly when eating fish or cutting small animals.
The problem is, fishing requires a fishing net, or making a bamboo fork to catch fish. The latter requires: 1. The appearance of fish, 2. Strong hands-on ability to catch fish with a fork.
Cutting down small animals is also a problem. Bows and arrows can be used to shoot down birds on trees, or bird traps can be made. In addition, stone traps can be placed in the bamboo forest to catch bamboo rats... and these traps require a lot of materials.
Xie Yunsui kept thinking for an hour and a half late at night, reading over and over the several pages of tool introductions in the survival manual, and finally decided to make a small bird trap and a small fish trap.
The small fishing trap is like the shrimp cage used to catch shrimp in the river when I was a child. It is long and cylindrical in shape, with a narrow opening on one side and a wide opening on the other side. The wide opening is also narrowed, leaving only a small passage. Once fish and shrimp swim in, they cannot get out.
A small bird trap is like a net basket with a small wooden stick supporting one side. If a small animal touches the small wooden stick, it will be caught in the net basket.
The small animals on this deserted island live freely and have never seen the dangers of human tools, so they probably don't have much vigilance.
Unlike the birds in the fields of his hometown when he was a child, they became smart after being caught a few times and were difficult to be fooled again.
When the third day dawned, Xie Yunsui decided to spend the whole day getting food, preferably meat.
He went to the pond to set the fishing trap, and as soon as he got there, he saw the silver carp that had teased him for hours and accidentally lost his shoes the day he first arrived. He remembered that he could make a bamboo fork with the materials, so he immediately went back to make a bamboo fork by hand.
To make bamboo forks to put on your waist, you need to use a stone knife to sharpen one end of the bamboo. After making two, a font display appeared in front of him reminding him that he could only take two bamboo forks on the road and he could not bring more.
Okay, it’s really cumbersome to carry too much.
Holding a bamboo fork, you can fight wits and courage with the fish by the pond for an hour. The fish will swim aimlessly when it hears the slightest movement. You cannot get too close to it. It will change positions after pausing in one place for a while. You must seize the time.
After thinking for an hour, Xie Yunsui finally caught a fish and was overjoyed.
After putting down the fishing trap, we returned to the camp, built a small fire, and started grilling the fish. After about ten minutes, the fish was grilled to a crisp and gave off a meaty aroma.
Fresh fish often only requires simple cooking. Xie Yunsui ate it with relish without any seasoning.
Maybe it was luck, after eating the grilled fish, I randomly found a bone spur. I ground it with a piece of stone slab and it became a bone needle, but it also consumed a piece of stone slab.
Unfortunately, he hadn't found the bark yet, so the production of straw sandals had to be postponed.
After eating and drinking enough and regaining some energy, Xie Yunsui decided to do only three things today: look for tree bark, dig ginseng, and find food by the way.
I found a place in the woods where the birds were singing loudly, set down the bird trap, and then walked straight to the ginseng field I saw yesterday.
The little bee took the lead and flew around the place it marked, looking at the clean ground in a daze.
Xie Yunsui was also confused. He walked around the area three times but still couldn't find the bright ginseng flowers he saw yesterday.
Xie Yunsui: "Where's the ginseng?"
The little bee was stunned: "Ding Di - no energy fluctuations were sensed."
Xie Yunsui: "..."
The man and the bee stared at each other, and finally had no choice but to accept that the ginseng was missing. Perhaps it was eaten by the wild bull that failed to catch the person last night?
Now we had no choice but to explore a new route. Under the guidance of the little bee, we collected a lot of berries and finally found the bark.
The tall, pointed trees occasionally had raised areas of bark. Cutting along the raised areas with a stone knife would peel off a piece of bark. The bark was soft, smooth inside. These trees all looked the same, and some couldn't be cut, something Xie Yunsui had previously overlooked.
"Sweetie, mark."
The little bee then marked the spot with bark on the map.
The map here is more detailed. Not only tree bark is added, but also rattan, stone slabs, bamboo shoots and other items collected along the way are marked out. This means that as long as Xie Yunsui explores Huludao carefully, he will have a material distribution map with all locations marked.
There was a kind of grass growing everywhere on the ground, in clumps of green. Xie Yunsui thought it was just an ordinary weed at first, but after seeing the bark incident, he tried to pick it and ended up picking a mugwort.
Xie Yunsui was even more afraid to miss anything he saw. He had to touch everything and touch it with his stone knife and stone axe, for fear of missing out on any good treasure.
Under some trees, you will find one or two small mushrooms, with white stems and brown umbrellas, which look a bit like the oyster mushrooms sold in supermarkets.
Pick them! Don’t miss any!
Occasionally, the little bees would remind Xie Yunsui to look up, where there were bird nests on some trees and eggs in them.
Bird eggs... Xie Yunsui couldn't help but drool. He wanted to pick some, but found that he still needed a tool like a lasso.
You can only mark the location first and come back to pick it.
He walked back in the early night, took a detour on the way back, and saw that the traps set today had not yet caught any prey, so he went back.
We have harvested a lot of supplies today. Once you open your mind, you will find treasures everywhere.
Thick wood +2, large wooden stick +11, sturdy small stick +5, stone flakes +4, sharp stone +1, dry weeds +2, large leaves +4, vines +4, wormwood +18, mushrooms +7.
I came back twice in the middle to empty Youyou's storage space. I changed the route when I went out again. I went out in a fan-shaped pattern with the camp as the center. Every subsequent route I took was new.
As a result, a large circle of spatial resources near the pond have been marked.
I ate a grilled fish during the day, and then ate all the berries I picked while exploring because I was too hungry and wanted to make room. I didn't eat the mushrooms because they can't be eaten raw and must be roasted.
Xie Yunsui was in a state of hunger every day and had no extra energy to think. He simply lit another fire on the ashes of the fire he had started during the day, consuming 3 large wooden sticks, 1 dry weed, and 1 sturdy small stick.
While roasting mushrooms, I felt that the fire was consuming too much energy and it was a bit of a waste to only roast such a small amount at a time.
It can’t be unbaked.
well.
The roasted mushrooms shrank a bit, and there was no mushroom flavor in the mouth, only a vegetable flavor similar to bamboo shoots.
Xie Yunsui was so hungry that he had no desire to live. He missed white rice, white steamed buns, or potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes...
Filled with thoughts and desires for delicious food, Xie Yunsui hid in the shed to sleep, and Youyou and Little Bee also squeezed in to hibernate.
As soon as the sun rose, Xie Yunsui went to the pond to drink water and check if there was anything in the fish trap.
The good news is it's available.
The bad news is that the small river shrimps, which are only two fingers long, will always remain fresh if they are placed in the shed warehouse. It must be some kind of black technology. There is no need to worry about the shed emitting the foul smell of dead fish and rotten shrimps when you are not at home for a day.
The bird trap was triggered, but it was empty. Xie Yunsui rearranged it and prepared to explore the upper part of Huludao today.
After just two hours of exploration, it suddenly started to drizzle. Xie Yunsui held Youyou on his head. It couldn't block much of the rain, but he just took it as a psychological comfort to himself.
The drizzle lasted for an hour and a half. My clothes were stuck to my body, and when the breeze blew, my health value, in the words of the game, dropped rapidly.
On the way back, they encountered another small mound. Xie Yunsui was about to see what animal's nest it was when he heard some special sound coming from behind the small pile of rocks next to it. He bravely walked around it and his eyes lit up. It turned out to be a wild rabbit.
The wild rabbit looked tender and fresh. Xie Yunsui approached carefully, used the method of spearing a fish, studied it for a while, and finally hit the rabbit's body with the bamboo spear.
What?
It actually hit the target?
Hit it in one go?
Xie Yunsui couldn't believe it until he picked up the wild rabbit and saw it lying motionless in his hand. Only then did he feel a sense of reality.
Hahaha.
Xie Yunsui hurried to the camp. There would be rabbit meat to eat tonight!
The little bee made the mark quickly and was very happy. It seemed that the owner's mental state had not been very good these days until he caught this wild rabbit.
After returning to the camp, Xie Yunsui used a stone knife to cut. He didn't need to spend much effort. He just wiped the neck twice, and the wild rabbit in his hand naturally turned into two large pieces of meat, a small piece of meat, and two small pieces of fur.
Because I had saved up a lot of big wood and sturdy sticks, I didn't pick them up this time when I went out. Mugwort was everywhere, so there was no need to pick it and take up space. Therefore, although I only went out once today, I still harvested a lot.
Vines +2, Stone Flakes +2, Sharp Stones +3, Dry Grass +4, Bird Eggs +4, Mushrooms +6, Blueberries +3, Redberries +6.
Bird eggs can be used directly and seem to have high nutritional value. After eating them, you can feel that your body has become much healthier.
After grilling the meat, we grilled mushrooms. Tonight's meal was really sumptuous. We went to the pond to drink plenty of water before late at night. This time, the only regret before going to bed was that we didn't have rice to eat. It was a pretty good day since we came to this deserted island.
When Xie Yunsui woke up the next day, he was craving rice.
