The alarm clock rang from the helmet, and Fang Yu turned over sleepily and sat up.
When I opened my eyes, what I saw was not the early morning, but the sunset that I had gradually become familiar with.
Fang Yu took off his helmet and let out a breath.
But as soon as he took off his helmet, the dull air almost stopped Fang Yu from taking a breath.
Fang Yu quickly put on the helmet again, and after taking several mouthfuls of pure oxygen, Fang Yu finally calmed down.
Last night, Fang Yu had the best sleep.
After moving the shelter to the top of the mountain.
Away from the beach, Fang Yu no longer has to worry about a wave sweeping her away when sleeping.
Moreover, on the top of the mountain, the sound of crashing waves was much quieter, allowing Fang Yu to feel more peaceful when sleeping.
After driving for a few minutes and stabilizing her breathing, Fang Yu took off her protective clothing, took out the gas bomb, and skillfully inflated it.
While waiting to be inflated, Fang Yu climbed down the vines and returned to the beach.
After the soles of her feet hit the beach, Fang Yu came to the turtle that she had used as a food reserve and was stuck in the crevices of the rocks.
Perhaps it was stuck for a long time, and Fang Yu would regularly feed it some coconut pulp and water, as a tortoise creature that is inherently inert.
In just one day, this turtle adapted to life stuck in a rock crevice.
When Fang Yu came down, it was sleeping soundly with its head curled up.
While it was having a sweet dream, it suddenly felt that something was knocking on its shell.
The turtle woke up from his dream angrily and made up his mind to bite off the nose of the guy who disturbed the turtle's dream!
But as soon as it opened its eyes, it saw a pair of hands stretching towards both ends of its turtle shell.
It had been stuck in the crevices of the rocks, and was freed from the crevices by these hands.
The turtle swayed its limbs excitedly.
It felt that it was flying, that it was being held up, that it saw the light and the familiar sunset!
This is such a joyful thing for the turtle.
Until it saw a sharpened stick poking towards its round head...
Fang Yu returned to the top of the mountain again, with pieces of processed turtle meat tied around his waist with a cane.
He released the turtle, well, completely released it, including its soul and body.
There was quite a lot of meat on this turtle. Fang Yu threw all the inedible meat on the beach that was difficult to handle, and divided the edible and easy-to-handle meat into six portions.
One portion is used to stew as today's meal, and the other five are used to smoke.
The resources on this island are too limited. Fang Yu estimates that he can only survive here for one day at most before he has to leave.
Because there is no dry firewood on this island...
In the past three days, Fang Yu had burned all the available dry firewood.
This was when he only had one fever a day.
Most of the firewood he collected today was cut from those trees with a stone blade.
These branches are rich in moisture and are very difficult to burn.
If these trees weren't rich in oil, even if Fang Yu deliberately left a fire, it might not be possible to burn it.
But even so, the thick smoke from the burning branches choked Fang Yu so much that in the end, he had no choice but to wear a helmet alone to isolate the smoke and add fuel to the fire.
Fang Yu made a simple bacon rack out of branches and stones and a stone wall.
Don't listen to the smoke rack sounding fancy.
It's actually just a stone shelf.
Relying on the stone wall, stones were piled up to create a kang-like structure half a person's height.
The top is made of thick branches, which are placed one by one on top, with layers in the middle.
The whole thing looks like a relatively tall barbecue grill.
Then, the turtle meat to be smoked is strung with rattan sticks and tied to a small wooden stick. The small wooden stick is then placed in the middle of a thick branch to hang the meat.
Then a fire is lit below, using the oily leaves and branches as fuel, so that very thick smoke will rise.
Smoking with the help of smoke.
Because there was not enough firewood, in order to speed up the process, Fang Yu roasted the turtle meat over fire for a while and then smoked it.
Although this will result in poor smoked flavor and shelf life.
But there’s nothing wrong with keeping it for at least three or four days.
And all Fang Yu wanted was three or four days of effort.
Maybe, the meat won't even last a day.
If it weren't for the humid climate that prevented the meat from being stored for even half a day, Fang Yu wouldn't be in such trouble.
Even if it is barbecued, if it is not roasted into jerky, it will not be stored for a day.
In addition, the thick smoke caused by burning branches is a waste if it is not used for smoking.
After Fang Yu hung up the five portions of turtle meat, lit the fire and looked at the smoke billowing, then turned around with satisfaction and began to prepare today's meal.
Due to the lack of firewood resources, Fang Yu could only cook once a day to cook a day's worth of food.
Use the turtle lid as a boiler and boil the processed turtle meat in fresh water.
This pot of turtle soup is all Fang Yu's food today. Fang Yu will save a few pieces of boiled turtle meat for dinner and eat the rest directly for breakfast and lunch.
The portion of meat is actually quite sufficient. To be honest, on this small island, there is probably no shortage of food.
What is lacking are other resources.
Like firewood and fresh water.
The fresh water resources Fang Yu collected were just enough for one or two days.
Although he had a distillation device, he had no extra firewood.
If the condensation principle is used to collect water resources, this amount of water is really not enough for Fang Yu to consume in a day, and he will always be unable to make ends meet.
After Fang Yu finished cooking the turtle soup, Fang Yu boiled the remaining fresh water, then took out an empty bottle and set it aside.
This empty bottle looks like a large beverage bucket, and the writing on it is in English!
Marine debris is really everywhere.
Fang Yu picked up several empty bottles on the island. Only this one has a larger capacity and is cleaner, so Fang Yu plans to use this bottle as her own water bottle.
Putting the boiled water aside to cool down, Fang Yu ate the stewed turtle soup first.
Stewed turtle soup without any seasoning or fishy removal treatment.
The taste of the soup is indescribable.
In addition to being a little fresh when you drink it for the first time, it is really a nightmare for your taste buds the second time.
In order to prevent herself from spitting it out, Fang Yu used her perseverance skill to swallow it throughout the whole process.
Fortunately, although the soup is a bit fishy, the meat tastes pretty good.
Three times, five times and two times, breakfast and lunch were all eaten.
The boiled turtle meat reserved for dinner was tied up with wide leaves and small rattan sticks and stuffed into the pocket of the lifeboat for temporary storage.
By this time, the boiled water had cooled down, so Fang Yu put it into a water bottle and screwed the lid on.
The capacity of the water bottle is only 3L, but the fresh water is only about two-thirds full, probably only 2L.
A normal human needs about 1 liter of water a day.
Therefore, if you drink this water sparingly, you should be able to last for four or five days without any problem.
Although Fang Yu looked out from the top of the mountain and could not see any emerging islands, she had to make the necessary preparations.
Fang Yu had already made plans to start rafting on the sea directly after waiting for the bacon to be finished.
Although we can still stay on this island for a few days.
But normal people can think that doing so is just committing suicide slowly.
Although Fang Yu doesn't quite understand what's going on in this world.
But based on the information he already knew, if he wanted to wait for rescue, he was probably dreaming.
Therefore, his only way to survive was to try his luck at sea.
This is a big gamble, and it can be summed up in one sentence:
If you win, everyone will be happy; if you lose, your body will be buried in the bottom of the sea!
