After tying up the large blue crabs, I gave them a quick rinse in the muddy water, and they looked much tastier than before!
Even Liu Feifei couldn't help but swallow.
Although she initially refused, thinking that the food in this kind of water must taste bad.
But after seeing such a big crab, it's hard to escape the "it smells so good" phenomenon.
After dealing with the first one, the two continued their search for the small cave!
Time flies by...
...
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fan and Liu Feifei's gains were truly astonishing.
We caught a total of eight large blue crabs, each weighing about a pound!
The largest one may weigh a full 1.5 kilograms.
Besides the eight large blue crabs, there were also many golden apple snails, but Chen Fan released them all.
First of all, this stuff tastes terrible, has low nutritional value, and contains a lot of harmful substances.
Therefore, when food is plentiful, there is no need to risk it for something that has little nutritional value and tastes bad.
In addition to these, they also caught a big catfish.
It looks like it weighs at least two and a half pounds!
Although the water here is very murky and looks like a stagnant pool, there are many kinds of life in it.
I have no idea how these things survive.
Of course, there are also some eels and mantis shrimp.
Chen Fan and Liu Feifei also packed everything up and took it all with them...
"Chen Fan, haven't we gained enough this time?"
"Should we go back first?"
Looking at the basket full of her harvest, Liu Feifei spoke up.
The main problem is that I've been bending over and exploring for the past few hours, so now my back is a little sore!
Moreover, there's so much food that we won't be able to finish it all in one meal when we get back.
If left for too long, it will spoil.
"Okay, let's call it a day then."
"Today's harvest was fantastic!"
Chen Fan quickly nodded.
Catching these things is very fun and enjoyable, giving you a feeling of returning to childhood.
But now I've had enough to eat and my stomach is starting to rumble.
After we finish eating these things this time, we'll come back to catch more next time!
The two then quickly washed the mud off their legs and hands before returning to shore.
"I never imagined that so many good things would be hidden in these ordinary, even a bit dirty, mud."
"This big catfish is enough for us to have a good meal, and there are so many big blue crabs too!"
"These eels look very fresh."
Looking at the harvest in her basket, Liu Feifei was overjoyed.
I never expected to have such a great harvest today!!
If the meat of these animals tastes good, we can catch them again in a few days.
This means they have an extra layer of food security.
Even if the fish and other food in the lake are all eaten up, the large blue crabs and eels here can be used as alternative food.
"Yes, I didn't expect to have such a great harvest today."
"Let's go, let's hurry back! We'll be able to eat delicious crabs soon..."
Chen Fan quickly put on his shoes and socks, preparing to return to the shelter.
They hadn't eaten crabs in a long time, and such a large blue crab was something they hadn't even eaten many times when they were still working.
I never expected that wilderness survival would bring me such a treat.
...
Meanwhile, downstream, Zhao Xiaodao and Guo Yan were also involved.
The two are living a pretty good life lately.
Since inheriting Chen Fan and Liu Feifei's old shelter, they found that their luck had also improved.
The traps Chen Fan left for them to catch pheasants yielded results almost every day.
Moreover, there are so many stream fish that we can't possibly eat them all every day.
Cassava is also a good source of carbohydrates for the body.
This gave them more and more hope for life.
The two had just finished lunch.
Lunch was simple: a roast chicken and some roasted cassava.
This was a very luxurious lunch for the two of them.
After all, they didn't have such a plentiful diet before they met Chen Fan and Liu Feifei.
Perhaps because they were able to eat their fill every day, their mental state was much better than before.
The soapberry fruits left behind by Chen Fan and his group can also effectively wash away stains from their bodies.
This made the two of them look even more radiant...
"Xiao Dao, what are we going to do this afternoon?" Guo Yan asked.
Because her current life is so good, she has lost some of her goals.
My goal used to be simple: just to fill my stomach.
But now that the food problem has been basically solved, I'm suddenly at a loss for what to cook!
More importantly, they had already used the traps left by Chen Fan to catch seven or eight live pheasants and started raising them in captivity.
Although two died along the way, six survived.
This is their backup food, and their guarantee in case of special circumstances.
"How about we go find Chen Fan and Fei Fei to hang out today, and thank them while we're at it?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xiaodao smiled and said.
It's been a long time since I've seen Chen Fan, and I really miss him.
That guy is really handsome...
And with such outstanding abilities, he would make a very good boyfriend if you could win him over.
"Should we go find them?"
"But we don't know where they are now, or whether they are still holding on!"
"Perhaps they've already chosen to withdraw?" Guo Yan said somewhat uncertainly.
Although she knew that Chen Fan had an extremely strong ability to survive.
But on this deserted island, anything is possible.
Even a small mistake or crisis could lead to a contestant's elimination!
When surviving in the wilderness, skill is certainly important, but luck is equally important.
"No way! I believe Chen Fan definitely won't back down."
"His wilderness survival skills are so strong, if even he quits, then the other contestants have no chance of survival."
"Let's go! Take the three chickens and let's go find them."
Zhao Xiaodao said with a determined look on his face.
Clearly, she had great confidence in Chen Fan's ability to survive.
The goal of this trip was very clear: first and foremost, to bring gifts and properly thank Chen Fan and the others.
Secondly, I need to meet Chen Fan.
I don't know why, but ever since we parted ways last time, I've really wanted to see Chen Fan.
It was as if this guy possessed a special kind of magic that drew me in.
"Okay! I'll go get ready."
Seeing Zhao Xiaodao's persistence, Guo Yan quickly nodded in agreement.
