The sound of the waves was transmitted to the brain by the ears. Wen Zheng woke up from his sleep and stared at the top covered by leaves. The sun shone on it, forming bright and dark shadows.

Wen Zheng completely let go of his thoughts, stared blankly for a few minutes, and then sat up with his hands on the ground.I didn't feel much lying on the ground, but now that I let my body move, I felt some soreness in many parts of my body.Wen Zheng's eyebrows frowned, physical discomfort often makes people feel bad.

He was lucky enough to find a bamboo grove yesterday, and got two kinds of ingredients, bamboo shoots and bamboo rats, as well as bamboo that can be used in many ways, but it also took a lot of energy.

The fire ax is not light, and Wen Zheng has no other tool that can be used as a knife. Any work that requires a knife has to swing an ax, which puts a great burden on the wrist.There are some small scratches on the fingers, which were accidentally scratched while handling the bamboo.On the way back, even though I wrapped several layers of banana leaves on my palms and padded my shoulders, I still couldn't avoid the damage caused by the rope. After a night, these places were a little red and swollen.

From the coast where the shelter is located to the gentle slope where the bamboo forest grows, Wen Zheng deliberately wrote down the countdown that came with the system when he went, and it took nearly an hour to arrive.When he came back, carrying bamboo baskets and pulling bamboo rafts, Wen Zheng could feel the weight on his back and hands gradually increasing, which meant the constant loss of physical strength, and the return journey took nearly three hours.

Being too tired will make people lose the desire to sleep. Wen Zheng stared at the bonfire cooking salt until late at night, massaging the muscles of his body with both hands, but these methods can only relieve fatigue but cannot completely eliminate it.

The physical condition is not very good, Wen Zheng temporarily shelved the idea of ​​finding a new camp, staying on a desert island without medicine, he needs to take good care of his body at all times, and try to avoid the arrival of diseases as much as possible.He really wanted to lie down and continue resting like this, but his hungry stomach disagreed with this idea and made a cry of protest.Wen Zheng had no choice but to get out of the shelter.

This is the fourth day of survival on a deserted island. Wen Zheng wakes up so late for the first time. The sun has already shed its brilliance, shining on the sea surface, and all the dew on the leaves has evaporated.

There are still two logs in the earthen stove that haven't been burned yet. Just put some dead leaves and grass on them, and a gentle wind, and the flames will soon surge up.Put the coconut shell filled with fresh water on the fire, Wen Zheng added chopped bamboo rat meat and bamboo shoots into it, then took out the bamboo tube next to it and shook it carefully twice, and white sea salt fell out.

The process of boiling sea salt is very time-consuming. Whenever the sea water is about to boil half dry, new sea water is added to increase the concentration of sea water so that more sea salt can be boiled at one time. The half dry is to prevent the utensil from breaking .The process of seawater being evaporated was relatively slow. Wen Zheng watched the time and only added seawater three times. When the seawater was completely boiled to reveal a little sea salt, cracks appeared in the coconut shell used as a utensil.

The coconut shell is not big, but the boiled sea salt is more than Wen Zheng imagined. He scraped it off with bamboo chips and put it into a bamboo tube. The fresh water was poured into new coconut shells after the residual sea salt was dissolved, and Wen Zheng used it to cook dinner.

If the seawater in the sea area is relatively clean and not polluted by heavy metals, the boiled sea salt can be eaten directly.Wen Zheng didn't know where the island was located, but with the naked eye he could see that the island was far away from the place where human beings lived. The shallow sea was very clear and blue, and it didn't look like it was polluted, and he had no other choice.The sea salt is larger than the daily used ones. The bitterness of the seawater is due to the various salts in it, and the boiled sea salt is the crystallization of sodium chloride. It does not have the bitterness of seawater, but only has a pure salty taste.

Wen Zheng covered the coconut shells on the earthen stove with a bamboo cover, and they were slowly simmering over the fire.Wen Zheng came to the pit and washed his face with the not-so-clear fresh water inside. The skin on his face was obviously much rougher, and the calluses on his hands rubbed against his face, stimulating him to cheer up.Life on a deserted island is extremely rough, and I really miss all kinds of modern daily necessities before this time.

When Wen Zheng returned to the fire, white smoke was coming out of the small hole in the bamboo cover, and the food inside was almost stewed.The fat of the bamboo rat meat was roasted when it was grilled, so there was no oily star in the soup. The light red meat pieces and yellow bamboo shoots were rolling in the clear soup. Go, the bamboo rat meat has undergone two processes of grilling and stewing, the meat and bones are completely separated, and it is indescribably tender in the mouth.The bamboo shoots were stewed soft and chewy.After adding sea salt, the delicacy has improved a lot, and after taking another sip of the soup, there is only one word umami left in my mind.

After eating this brunch, the time came to noon unknowingly, the sun was shining warmly, and Wen Zheng chose to go back to the shelter to rest.Gently beat the back, massage the legs repeatedly, sometimes stand up and move the body, a row of coconut shells filled with seawater is drying on the beach, and the seawater is also evaporating on the earthen stove. Since I decided not to go out to explore today, I will boil it Sea water is a job that requires staring.

The sea salt in the bamboo tube gradually increased, and the aches and pains in the body gradually eased. The sea water surged up at some point, and the waves were rolling, beating against the reefs and washing the white sandy beach.

When the sun sets, the sea water begins to recede slowly, revealing the beautiful beach. Some of the seabirds returning from the sea fly back to their nests on the island, and some hover over the ocean, preparing to get some food.

This is the phenomenon of high tide and low tide, which is the periodic rise and fall of sea water. There are two high tides and low tides every day. In different regions and on different days, the time of occurrence is different.

When the tide is high, the sea will bring many things, and when the tide leaves, these things will be left on the beach. Some of these things are sea creatures, and some are garbage made by humans.

With the increasing number of things discarded by humans, all kinds of plastic waste and discards have arrived on various deserted islands with the movement of sea water, covering the white and beautiful beaches and affecting the marine environment.But for those who survive on a deserted island, these garbage become treasures.

However, the island's beaches seem to be an accident.

During the few days of living on the island, Wen Zheng didn't see any garbage from humans on the beach, only various creatures from the sea.He didn't know whether it was because of the island's special geographical environment or other reasons, and he kept his doubts in his heart while feeling a little regretful.

At least he was on a resource-rich island.

There is a phrase in Huaguo called catch the sea. People who live by the sea have mastered the laws of the ocean, and after the tide has ebbed, they harvest seafood on the beach or on the reef.The most suitable time to catch the sea is during the high tide on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, or when there is a strong sea wind, the sea water will recede quickly and violently. Those slow-moving shellfish cannot keep up with the speed of the sea water leaving, so they are put on the on the beach.

Today does not meet these two conditions, it is just an ordinary low tide.

On the beach where the sea water has receded, shellfish of various colors are dotted among them, and some blue bamboos are particularly conspicuous.

It was a simple trap set by Wen Zheng before the high tide. Several pieces of bamboo were inserted on the beach to form a U-shaped structure.Ordinary ebb tide is not fast, and most of the marine life can recede into the water, but with these U-shaped bamboo tubes, marine life will be blocked when swimming in from the opening.

Of course, this kind of device is too simple, those marine creatures are likely to swim out by mistake, and the probability of success is not high.

In fact, Wen Zheng didn't have much hope, this method is very simple, there is no loss if you try it.

Wen Zheng planted five U-shaped traps on the sea surface, and the bamboo tubes of each trap were very close to each other, deeply inserted into the sand.It is very easy to insert the sand. After all, the sand is relatively loose. However, this characteristic makes the bamboo tube not so stable. It can barely withstand the erosion of sea water, but it may collapse under a slightly stronger impact.

Wen Zheng walked towards the traps some distance away with a bamboo basket in his hand. His eyes swept over, and the bamboo tubes collapsed in two of the five traps. It was obvious that these two traps had no harvest.However, some sea shrimps were trapped in the next two traps, and Wen Zheng put them into bamboo tubes and put them into bamboo baskets.The last trap gave him a big surprise. There was a long, thin fish stranded in it. It was a moray eel.

Seabirds were pecking at the beach and reefs, and they were not close to the area where Wen Zheng was active. Of course, Wen Zheng thought about how to catch a seabird, but it was impossible to catch it with bare hands, but it was not easy to set a trap. The seabirds that land on the beach have been flying at sea for a long time, and their wings are strong and powerful. Simple traps may be directly overturned by them.Another method is to shoot with a bow and arrow, so Wen Zheng needs to make a bow and arrow, and also needs to practice the accuracy of archery, which obviously takes a lot of time, and he can try it when he is completely settled on the island.

Seabirds cannot be caught at present, but seafood is not difficult. There are often small holes on the beach after low tide, which are breathing holes left by some marine creatures hidden under the sand. Just dig along these holes, You can catch a lot of things.

Taking out the bamboo slices from the bamboo basket, Wen Zheng dug along, most of them were some relatively small clams and crabs.

Today's dinner has not been settled yet, tomorrow he will go out to find a suitable camp, Wen Zheng did not let them go, and collected them all.

Wen Zheng squatted on the beach to dig, and more and more sand was dug out. He moved his feet and felt something touched his feet. When he looked, the first thing he noticed was the scratch left on the side of the shoe tip, and he felt distressed immediately. I touched it with my hand, and then I saw the culprit who scratched the shoe, which was a shell half buried in the sand.

Wen Zheng raised his eyebrows, feeling that the matter was not simple, he picked up the shell, which was about the size of his face, and there was a small octopus hiding inside.
