After walking a few more steps, we saw a patch of mussels: "Look at these big mussels, everyone. They're all quite large. Let me pick one up and see."
He pulled one out and placed it in front of the filming equipment: "Let everyone see, look at this head, what a great spot!"
The area wasn't big, so she quickly finished exploring it. Jiang Yue noted down a few suitable fishing spots so she could start fishing once she settled in. After returning to the platform, Jiang Yue moved the supplies further inside. There was a recessed area at the very back of the platform where she could temporarily store supplies, but that would only hold out for a short time. If the waves were big, the supplies would be swept away. For safety, she would have to store them at the supplies storage area halfway up the mountain.
"Brothers, you've seen enough of the scenery below the island. I'll take you to see the mountain from all angles."
After saying that, Jiang Yue picked up an empty tote bag and put all the supplies in it. As she did so, she explained to everyone, "You may not know what I'm doing. Because the things on this platform can be washed away in the wind and waves, we need to put the supplies in a special storage place for safety."
"There are too many supplies for me to carry all at once. Besides, this is my first time climbing the mountain, so I'll just take a few less things. I also need to conserve my energy to get to the top."
Jiang Yue packed a few things and carried them. She hadn't taken any pills yet, so she only had the stamina of a fragile college student. She planned to head up the mountain when it was almost time.
"Now we're starting to climb the mountain. As you can see, the path up the mountain has steps, so it's not difficult to walk. To be honest, the conditions are much better than I imagined. My predecessor said that there are more than 400 steps in total, and it's not so easy to walk up."
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Jiang Yue saw a hollowed-out cave with a large iron gate locked. Jiang Yue walked over, took out a key from her pocket, unlocked the gate, and took some pictures for everyone. There weren't many things inside, just some shelves. Jiang Yue found an empty shelf, put her things on it, locked the door, and came out.
"This iron gate has to be locked every time you enter or exit. My senior told me that we must not cut corners. He said that once one of his seniors wanted to save time and waited until all the supplies were put away before locking the gate. However, a strong wind blew in the middle of the process, and the wind blew the gate so hard that it could not be closed. As a result, all the supplies were blown away, and he almost starved to death. So, this rule was established after that. Even if you go to the toilet in the middle of the process, you have to lock the gate first."
Climbing these steps was still a bit tiring for Jiang Yue. The steps weren't straight; they were winding and twisting. She took out her camera and filmed the scenery halfway up the mountain for everyone: "It's still very steep and high up here. My seniors told me that it's best to stay at home during typhoons and not go out and wander around, or you'll be blown away and die."
"Look, there are fenced-off areas on the sea surface. They should be used for aquaculture of seafood, such as scallops and mussels."
"This island has two slightly higher mountains and a lower one in the middle. When the waves are high, you can probably go sea bass fishing there. It's been calm these past few days, it's too hot."
Jiang Yue took the filming equipment and turned around, then confirmed the direction: "If I'm not mistaken, we'll be in the open sea a few dozen nautical miles from here. This is the outermost island in our northeast. The scenery is quite nice. There are no other islands in this whole sea, only this small island."
"I'm a bit tired today, so I won't climb to the top of the mountain. Let's save our energy to carry a few more loads of supplies. The sooner we finish, the easier it will be. Let's go take a look at this house next door. We'll have to stay here when the waves are high."
I peered through the broken glass and saw several bunk beds. The room was a mess, and the door was blocked with stones. There was nothing I could do about the glass; it wouldn't last long after each replacement, as it would break in the wind. So, I eventually stopped repairing it.
Jiang Yue moved the stone by the door, opened the door and went inside. She looked around and said, "Good heavens, this place is too messy. It's not really suitable for sleeping tonight. Let's tidy it up a bit first and make sure we have a place to sleep. We'll make do for a few days."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yue fixed the device, checked that the built-in small screen could capture her, and then found a broken broom to clean the room. She put some things that looked like they hadn't been used for a long time on a bunk bed, then swept away the dust with the broom, and finally swept the floor. The broken broom couldn't clean it very well, but it was barely acceptable.
"That won't do, let's leave it like this. Look at me, I'm covered in sweat. It's so hot. This is enough for now. This place is just for shelter. It'll be fine as long as we can set up a tent. Okay, everyone, let's start going down the mountain to move supplies. This part is a bit boring, so if you have nothing to do, go listen to some music or watch a movie to pass the time."
After saying that, Jiang Yue went down the mountain. After getting down the mountain, she fixed the filming equipment, and then took a pill while carrying the camera. She was too tired to eat without crying. She carried several loads of supplies. Except for water, most of the supplies were moved to the safe house. The platform left a backpack full of supplies, enough to last for two days.
The remaining water can be disposed of slowly. This thing is very heavy, so you can move a little bit each day. By the time Jiang Yue finished a lot of things, it was already dark. Jiang Yue took out the tent and laid it out. There was also a bottle of mineral water inside. If she didn't weigh it down, Jiang Yue was afraid that the wind would blow it away. She found some daily necessities and finally found the portable stove and pot.
After installing the gas canister, Jiang Yue took out two packs of instant noodles. Usually, one pack would be enough, but today even two packs would be barely enough. However, since they were already here, how could they not have some seafood? Would they just eat instant noodles? "Brothers, we've been busy all day and are starving. But we're not in a hurry to eat. We've come all this way to an island, so it would be a waste not to cast a line or two. I'll also set up a crab trap and catch some crabs."
"I've already asked the seniors about the location for setting up the crab traps. Let's go get some bait."
After setting up the crab trap, Jiang Yue planned to try lure fishing a few times. While fishing, she talked to the viewers in the live stream. She didn't know if anyone was watching or if there was any feedback. It was probably just her talking to herself and entertaining herself. Jiang Yue didn't care about that. There was no Bai Ze cheating. She was having fun playing by herself.
The first cast was a disaster; the fish got snagged on the bottom. It took Jiang Yue a while to get it out, but then the bait was gone. It was getting dark, and she still hadn't caught a fish. Finally, when it was just getting dark, she caught a yellow croaker. The fish was quite small, so Jiang Yue cut it up and used it as bait, hoping to catch a bigger one.
The live bait worked well; after changing the bait, she caught a blackfish on her first cast, and it was quite big. She pressed her advantage and cast a few more times, catching two yellow croakers, which was pretty good. After catching five fish, Jiang Yue stopped, as she was starving. When she returned to the platform, it was already dark. Jiang Yue went to check the crab traps, just in case she had some luck.
