Chapter 15 New Plane 0189 Plane Ten-Day Pass
"Is this height okay?"
"Almost. If a small animal falls in, it probably won't be able to climb out." Bai Xi squatted beside the trap, took the soil from Bai Yu's hand, threw it aside, and picked up the branch he had cut earlier. "Shall we stick it in now?"
"Okay." Bai Yu nodded and inserted the branches one by one into the depths of the trap.
The soil in the forest is moist, and the sharpened branches can be inserted firmly into it. Unless they fall into an animal, they will hardly shake.
She inserted the branches she had prepared in advance one by one, then turned around and climbed onto the trap.
Then, the two men placed the vines in an interlaced manner on the trap, scattered a handful of leaves on the vines, and finally threw a handful of seaside stones on the leaves to prevent the three people from accidentally stepping into it.
In addition to the small stones, they also left obvious marks on the trees nearby.
"Let's go," Bai Yu clapped his hands, "Let's pull the fishing net. If there are any fish or shrimp, we can cook the contents and throw them here later."
"There should be, I think so." Bai Xi said excitedly.
When the three of them returned to the beach, she immediately took them to where the nets were cast.
The rope connected to the net was tied to a large rock nearby and looked motionless, but for fishermen like her, just by reaching out and pulling it, she could get a rough idea of her catch.
Bai Xi pulled the rope, moved it slightly, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
“Big sister——!”
"Did you get anything?" Bai Yu immediately walked to her side.
"I think so." Bai Xi smiled, turned around and smiled at Bai Yu, and the two of them began to close the net tacitly.
As the fishing net gradually emerged from the water, the harvest of this fishing trip began to become clear. The higher the net went, the more active the fish and shrimp in the net became, causing splashes of water.
"At least seven or eight fish."
"If there's a place to sell these fish, they can fetch a lot of money."
As the two were talking, the entire fishing net was pulled up.
When all the fish reached the shore, the fish in the net were still alive and kicking.
Bai Yu and Bai Xi were both very experienced. Seeing these fish so active, they immediately pulled the fishing net away from the sea surface. Only after making sure that the fish could not jump back out did they pull the fish out of the net one by one.
Not many people catch fish around here, and they look very fat, so when Bai Xi pulled a fish from the fishing net that was not small in their eyes, Bai Yu still asked her to throw the fish back into the water.
"Raise it a little longer, and then fish it out when it's fat."
"Compared to these big fish, this is really small."
Bai Xi smiled, took out a few small fish from the fishing net, and threw them back into the sea.
In addition to the fish, there were also some shrimps and crabs in the fishing net. They were not big, but they could not grow too big anyway, so they were left behind. The remaining fish had to be picked out.
Bai Xi quickly ran back to the boat, took out the scissors specially used for killing fish, and together with Bai Yu, they cut up the remaining fish. They kept two for eating and smeared salt on the rest, intending to dry them out to make salted fish.
Although they were at the seaside, they didn't know if they would always be able to catch anything, so they always had to keep the fish they should keep, so that when the time came they would not have nothing to eat.
The inedible internal organs of the fish were picked out and not wasted. They were all thrown into a casserole and cooked. After cooking, they were cut into small pieces, half of which were thrown into the trap in the forest plane, and the other half were dried on large leaves so that they could be used later.
Then I started cooking, one pot for porridge and another pot for seafood.
They had been smelling the rice aroma for a few days and had gradually gotten used to it, but today the smell of seafood was particularly strong. They didn't know whether it was the smell of the seafood itself or the smell of the soy sauce that was poured in.
Anyway, it tastes delicious.
Bai Yu put the fish meat with the bones removed into Bai Miao's bowl, and picked up some shrimp meat and fish roe for her. Just as she looked up, she saw that there was some delicious-looking fish meat in her own bowl.
She picked up half a crab with chopsticks and put it in Bai Xi's bowl: "Eat it all."
"It smells so good! I've never tasted fish so good before," Bai Xi cried as he ate. "Are fish from the sea tastier than fish from the river?"
"Maybe. I also think the food today is particularly delicious."
The three of them didn't understand that seafood and river shrimps are only delicious when eaten fresh, as long as they can fill their stomachs. Now they not only eat seafood, but also porridge that can fill their stomachs. They are killed and eaten immediately, so naturally they all think it is delicious.
Their appetites were not big, but today they finished a pot of porridge and a pot of seafood. Including Bai Miao, their stomachs were full.
There were only three of them on the island. When they saw Bai Miao lying down after eating and shouting "I'm so full", Bai Yu and Bai Xi also lay down and looked at the sun on the sea in the distance.
It was sunset, and there was a circle of orange around the sun, and the surrounding clouds were dyed orange.
Their boat was parked below, and the three of them were stranded on this isolated island in the sea.
But it seems that such a life is not too uncomfortable.
"Sister, I feel like I've never felt so relaxed. Although we are on a small island, life seems to be better than before."
When they lived on the water before, she and Bai Yu had to go into the water to catch fish and shrimp almost every day. There was no other way. If they only relied on fishing nets, what they caught would not be enough for them to survive.
Especially after the "separation of family".
After separating from their uncles' families, they both knew that they would have to rely on themselves in the future.
"It's because of the shells. If there weren't shells, our life on the island wouldn't be so good," Bai Yu turned around, "mainly because there's no salt."
"That's right. Without shells, we would have no salt, no wood, and no water. We would have to look inside," Bai Xi said with emotion. "Fortunately, we have shells."
Bai Miao was lying between the two of them, not understanding their feelings, when he heard the word "shell". He raised his feet and grabbed the shell on his chest: "Sign in successfully."
Bai Xi listened to her voice, smiled and raised his hands: "Sign in successfully."
Bai Yu also raised his hands: "Sign in successfully!"
"Lie down for a while. We'll go on the boat when it gets dark. It's pretty dark in there."
"Well, it's still daylight now," Bai Yu sat up, holding up her face to look at the sun in the distance, "I've never seen a sun like this before, it's really quite beautiful."
"The sea is beautiful too," Bai Xi opened her arms. "Look, sister, it's such a big sea, it seems to belong to us, and the sun is ours too."
"Really," Bai Yu smiled, "It seems like we are the only ones in this ocean."
The three of them lay there, watching the sun set, and returned to the cabin before it was completely dark.
The cabin was pitch black at night and they couldn't do anything. They chatted casually until they felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day was another sunny day.
Bai Yu had nothing urgent to deal with today. After getting up, he continued to walk around the boat, tidying up the bow and stern and checking the condition of the boat.
The boat was on the shore, and she could move around without causing it to shake, only the sound of her bare feet stepping on the wooden planks.
The surroundings were also very quiet, with no birds singing, no human voices, and no other sounds. However, if you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of waves hitting the rocks not far away.
The boat was almost cleaned up, so she took an axe and went up there to chop the tree trunks that had been carried out earlier into pieces, making it easier to burn them when cooking later.
The axe is a bit heavy, but with more use, you can get used to its weight.
Bai Yu held the tree trunk in his left hand and the axe in his right hand, and chopped it down one by one. When he was halfway through, he stepped on it and broke it.
"Big sister—"
"Are you all awake?" Bai Yu panted, "I'm a little hungry, let's cook."
"Then you take a break, big sister." Bai Xi took Bai Miao to clean up the small kitchen and spoke loudly to Bai Yu, "There's no rush for so much wood. We can chop it after dinner."
"It's okay. I'm free anyway," Bai Yu said, putting down the axe in his hand. "Did you sign in this morning?"
"Not yet. I cleaned up her room briefly and brought her here. We only have one chance to sign in every day, so we can listen together." Bai Xi quickly cleaned up the small kitchen, cooked porridge and started a fire.
There are a lot of dry branches in the forest plane, and they brought a lot of them over. Whether they are resistant to burning or not is not the point, but they are indeed very easy to catch fire.
Anyway, the forest plane is full of trees, so picking up some more is not a problem at all.
While cooking porridge, Bai Xi looked at Bai Yu who was approaching and said, "Sister, we should prepare more of these big logs and burn more charcoal later. When the fire starters we have are used up, we have to keep the fire for ourselves."
Tinder is not cheap, but they have it on hand because life on the water can easily lead to various problems. Once the fire on the boat goes out, they have no tinder, not even a little fire, and can only eat raw food.
In order to avoid eating raw food, fire starters were specially prepared on each ship.
But because it is expensive, most of the time they use a specially kept fire, that is, covering the charcoal flame with ash, and igniting it with flammable hay when needed.
There is only one fire starter, and Bai Xi just thought of this when he was using it just now.
"Then let's take some time today to go to the forest plane and find some more wood. We can prepare some charcoal to keep sparks, but don't use the tinderbox for now."
There was nothing on the island. Apart from the things they needed for check-in, they had to prepare everything else by themselves, so they tried to save as much as possible on the things they had brought with them.
As the two were talking, Bai Miao squeezed in between them, raised his head, grabbed the bag of shells, and raised his hand: "Sign in."
"Yes, I almost forgot." Bai Yu squatted down and half hugged her. "Come on, Miaomiao, let's start today's sign-in."
Bai Xi also squatted down and watched her hand movements expectantly.
Bai Miao happily pressed the button on the shell.
"Sign in."
[Successful sign-in, get [0189 Plane Ten-Day Pass]*1]
"Plane?"
"Pass?"
"Last time, no, what number was the forest plane?"
Bai Miao replied confidently: "0126."
Bai Yu and Bai Xi's eyes lit up at the same time.
"A new plane?"
"A different number!"
