One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

"Wen Siqi, how about this, is there a way to make it eatable now?"

Green, round, sort of like a pineapple but definitely not.

Jiang Xinran held such a thing in her hand. It was the fruit she and Ye Yajie found the next day when they left the others. I remember it was called wild pineapple?

Anyway, the taste was not good, astringent, not easy to bite, like chewing firewood, Ye Yajie took a bite and threw it all away.

"Pandou? It would be easier to say if you are mature."

Pandanus, also known as wild pineapple, just like pineapple, you can tell from the name that it must turn yellow first before you eat it. It seems that it also needs to be soaked in salt water?

Wen Siqi had seen the introduction, but she didn't remember it anymore. She had a long memory, and she had never tasted it in her life. She couldn't be sure.

"That's it."

Jiang Xinran put the pandanus back to the foot of the pandanus tree, and followed Wen Siqi into the forest.

The south side of the island was less affected by the seaspout, and the vegetation was mostly intact, with only a few unlucky corpses lying on the side of the road, known or unknown.

Jiang Xinran saw a palm tree, which was so dead that the core was exposed, and ants crawled on it. They were as unfriendly as the flies I saw earlier in the morning.

Jiang Xinran didn't have intensive phobia, so she didn't have any emotion about it, but the palm core covered with ants made her think.

"Wen Siqi, look over there, that broken palm tree."

"I remember most palm tree cores are edible."

Wen Siqi looked along, the exposed white core offended Hei, it was dirty and disgusting, it made her scalp tremble uncontrollably, and she couldn't arouse her appetite after knowing it could be eaten.

"You have eaten?"

"Well, I ate it when I traveled to Southeast Asia the year before last, and the taste was not bad."

They can be eaten, and the taste is not bad. If you don’t cut them back to improve the food, wouldn’t you be punished by God?

Without any hesitation, Wen Siqi turned around and went back to the camp to get an ax and prepare to start work.

It happened that there were also a few dead palm trees near the camp. I don’t know if they were polluted. I didn’t pay attention to them before, so I missed them. Now that I think about it, it would be a pity if they were polluted.

Back at the camp, they took the stone ax that the old man had put down, and the two of them led a group of people to surround a half-length palm tree. The upper body had been swept away for a long time, and only the waist down was loosely bound in the soil.

The exposed part has no trace of being crawled for the time being, but it is stained with sand and dust, and it is still clean after wiping, but it seems a bit old, maybe it is related to the temperature.

Wen Siqi poked a piece with a wooden stick. I don't know the taste, but it was chewy and had a pitifully little moisture.

It is already old, but still has moisture and tenderness. It is a pity that I didn't find it edible before. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be thinking about how much water to drink this time.

A slender hand also reached out, broke off a small piece from the core, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times.

"Not bad, a bit bitter."

That's what she said on her mouth, and she did the same thing on her hands. Mu Jie broke off two more pieces, stuffed one into her own mouth, and put the other into Yao Yanan's mouth.

"It's a bit bitter, but the bitterness is not heavy. It feels good to chew for a while."

Hearing Yao Yanan's words, several hands stretched out again, tearing off the part that Wen Siqi had dug out.

Not bad.

The opinions are unanimous, and no one refuses this dish that is considered delicious at the moment.

Started to act, the raised stone ax fell down without emotion, leaving scars on a healthy body, not deep, shallow, like scraping, ridiculous.

It just couldn't stand it and kept scraping, and the outer skin finally cracked, revealing a little white.

It took a long time and changed the force several times. You hit me, big and small raindrops fell. At about half past nine, one tree was finally cut down.

Peeling and breaking the stems, until almost eleven o'clock, when lunch was available, several people dragged their exhausted bodies and lay down into the camp.

The old lady took over the job, raised the aluminum knife to cut into pieces, sliced, skewered, eaten raw, grilled, boiled, but unfortunately did not have to fry, otherwise there would be more flavors.

"It's rare to have a decent vegetarian dish."

When was the last time?

Ye Yajie thought about it.Oh, it's the seaweed from last night. It's barely decent, but the taste is really not good. Compared with the leftovers and delicacies that are chewing in my mouth now, it is nothing compared to it.

Lunch is a palm set meal, oh, and the shellfish that I have already eaten and lost my appetite when I saw it.

After lunch, the sun was so fierce that I couldn't open my eyes and go out for action.

A group of people sat under the shelter, some squinted their eyes for a nap, and some were busy knitting ropes, under the shade of the trees, the sea breeze was blowing, and the temperature was acceptable.

Just stretch out your hand, it's hot.

"Old man, will it rain tomorrow?"

Ye Yajie pursed her lips, the dead skin was evident, the soup she drank half an hour ago had already been consumed with sweat, but the sun was still as strong.

The old man looked up to the sky, and the gully was together, "It won't happen in these two days."

That said, they can now only rely on palm cores for hydration.

Wen Siqi raised her head and looked at the sky, the sky was very blue, so blue that there was no room for any white clouds, she always felt that she had seen such a scene somewhere, with a person.

who is coming?

The memory is a little anxious, it should be an important person, but just can't remember, there is a smile on the blurred outline.

"Mom, it's Dan Dan!"

Faint? !

The fog suddenly dissipated, and the outline gradually became clearer.

The daughter of the tree branch Nehe looked far away, and there was a light cloud in the distant sky, which was very light, and it disappeared from the field of vision if one was not careful, just like that person.

My mood suddenly calmed down, just like every time I met her, there was always a ray of sunshine warming my body.

"Mom, will Dandan find us?"

can you?

"Yes, Danan will definitely find us."

"really?"

"Yunyun has forgotten, when you played hide-and-seek with Danhan, did she not find you?"

"no!"

"Danlan is the best~ She will find us."

The little guy was very excited, and joy almost burst out from those eyes, but her joy was snorted by the adults.

"Do you believe it."

Ye Yajie moved closer to Jiang Xinran's side, the disdain in her tone mixed into her breath.

Jiang Xinran remained silent, her silent attitude was the same as the others.

It was already the seventh day of the accident, and they didn't think that anyone would persist in looking for them, and they all pinned their hopes of being found on the passing cruise ship.

Will anyone else be looking for them?

impossible.

impossible.

She will definitely do it.

Wen Siqi firmly believed.

The wind blew past, messed up the hair, and the flying blue hair messed up the world.

Also greasy face.

"I really want to take a bath..."

Yao Yanan touched her head, her hands were stained with oil.

They haven't washed their hair for almost a week, the oil-producing ones are already oily and smooth, and the non-oil-producing ones are covered with a layer of dust, and their bodies...

Yao Yanan raised her hand and sniffed, then moved close to Mu Jie and wrinkled her nose, "Hmm...it doesn't seem to be smelly."

The latter lowered his head and moved quietly.

"I'm used to the smell. I could still smell sweat two days ago, but now the fishy smell is gone."

Habits are terrible. Sometimes you may not be able to get used to one thing or a company in a year, two years or even ten years, but it can make you no longer repel it in a few moments.

The sense of smell is no longer repulsed by the smell of salty and sweaty smell.

The same is true for the mouth. When I first ate the cooked shellfish, I almost spit out the bland taste, but now I can feel calm.

The speed of adaptation is somewhat unacceptable.

"What will we be like in a few days?"

"who knows."

"I want to take a bath..."

The sun was shining brightly, the sea was blue and the sky was blue, and the sea was beautiful and not dirty. The more Han Tang looked at it, the more he wanted to go into the water.

It's also good to soak your feet.

"Let's go later, the sun is still strong now, it's not worthwhile to get sunburned, and the host's children don't want us to disturb them now."

Wen Siqi pointed at the sea.

Around one o'clock, a triangle protrudes from the surface of the sea, spinning aimlessly in the waves.

"shark?!"

"Shark fin."

The tense breath suddenly stagnated, up and down, and then disappeared, and surprises fell on the cold person.

Calmly, without squinting, Mu Jie stared straight at the dorsal fin drifting on the sea.

Yao Yanan laughed embarrassingly, and whispered: "We can't catch it."

The old man smiled and said, "He is a person who enjoys happiness."

Wang Zhenzhen rolled his eyes bluntly, "Don't think about it, it's almost the same for us to serve it."

"If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't. If you can't do it now, you won't be able to do it if you don't wear a watch."

The choking sound came as promised, and Han Tang sighed again, unfortunately, she was caught in the middle again.

"If you have the ability, you can catch one and show me, no one can say big things."

"A capable person walks the talk, just wait and see."

Oh stop.

Han Tang was expressionless.

This was the end of the topic, and no one followed up, so the audience was silent. They all looked at the dorsal fin circling in the sea, spinning around and around like a hypnotist, and someone yawned loudly.

It's time for summer exhaustion. Although it's a bit hot, the sea breeze is strong enough to prevent you from being too bored to sleep. Han Tang was the first to lie down and squinted one by one.

The old man and the old lady did not fall asleep, one peeled the bark, the other weaved the rope, squinting their eyes and working very hard.

After Wen Siqi put her daughter to sleep, she took a stick, lifted a bottle, put on a hat and went into the woods again.Jiang Xinran hesitated for a while, then followed.

Not far away, Wen Siqi picked a few branches of trees and put them in bags at the place where she carried the trees in the morning.

At this time, water sank in the bag, not a lot, but it still had a lot of weight after weighing it.

Jiang Xinran stepped forward to help untie the bag's tether, and poured the water into the bottle she brought, just enough to fill her mouth.

There are a total of six bags. After catching, pouring water, changing branches and continuing to be bored, there is not even half a bottle.

"Too little."

For 11 people, plus the fetus in Han Tang's belly, such a little water is not enough, but plastic bags are not enough either. There are not many bags that can be found on the island that can evaporate water from sticks, and almost all of them are plastic bottles.

As for seawater distillation, it's not that I haven't tried it before. The amount of water that comes out in a few hours is not as good as a bag just now.

"If we know how to make a still, maybe we can get some more water."

"Distiller……"

Jiang Xinran frowned, her thoughts raced, and she didn't see her move for a long time.

Wen Siqi didn't bother, she smiled and looked at Jiang Xinran thinking, looking at her, she was looking forward to something.
