Chapter 828-829 Survival on an Island (3, 4)
A week passed quickly. In the first few days, Zhuang Rui would still stand on the rocks and look around, waiting for the arrival of the rescue team. However, every day he waited was filled with endless disappointment.
Moreover, life at the seaside has become more and more difficult, because every few days, there will be a strong storm.
The night before yesterday, the sea water suddenly surged. Zhuang Rui, who was nesting on the reef, was awakened by the cold sea water. If Zhuang Rui hadn't reacted quickly and hugged the reef tightly, he might have entered the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
Feed the shark.
In Zhuang Rui's eyes, the violent and wild sea is like a monster that will swallow him whole with his skin and bones at some point. His fear of the ocean now exceeds that of this mysterious island.
Another reason is the food problem. Although he eats fresh oysters and drinks pure natural coconut juice every day, which is a lifestyle that modern people pursue, Zhuang Rui finally started to suffer from gastrointestinal problems after eating for three days in a row.
He rebelled, and he was so ecstatic that he couldn't stop.
For several days in a row, Zhuang Rui did not dare to eat seafood anymore. He could only satisfy his hunger with coconut milk and coconut meat. The birds were almost fading out of his mouth. Looking at the seabirds flying every day by the seaside, Zhuang Rui wished he was alive.
Raw wings, caught one by one, grilled and eaten.
After staying at the beach for a week without encountering a rescue team, and staying on the beach was not an option, Zhuang Rui had already made up his mind to explore this isolated island.
According to Zhuang Rui's previous knowledge from movies, there are generally no large beasts on isolated islands in the sea. Maybe he heard it wrong the night before and he can't be sure.
However, before entering the island, Zhuang Rui still had a lot of preparation work to do. The first was naturally weapons. Without anything to defend himself, Zhuang Rui did not dare to go deep into the island.
Standing on the edge of the coconut grove, Zhuang Rui held a wooden pole about 1.5 meters long in his hand. He spent a lot of effort to pull it from a tree covered with barbs with a belt.
It was hit by a rock from a winger.
For this reason, Zhuang Rui's hands were covered with thorns as if they were growing hairs. It took him a whole day to pick them out, and then he spent another half a day scraping off all the barbs on the branches with a knife.
The current wooden pole, more accurately, should be a javelin, because at one end of the wooden pole, the knife from Peng Fei is tightly tied with Zhuang Rui's shoelaces. This is also Zhuang Rui's only weapon.
.
Zhuang Rui held the middle part of the javelin in his right hand, pointed it at a coconut tree, and threw it with all his strength.
There was only a muffled sound of "Crack", and the knife at the front of the javelin was completely inserted into the hard coconut tree. The one-meter-long javelin was stably inserted into the tree, swinging back and forth like a spring, and made a "
"Buzzing" sound.
"Not bad, let's go back and try to see if we can catch fish..."
Zhuang Rui pulled the javelin from the tree and played with it in his hand. He was very satisfied with the weapon he made.
A few days ago, Zhuang Rui had successfully ignited dried leaves by hitting them with a knife and a stone, setting off a fire on the beach.
Although the fire was extinguished the next day because Zhuang Rui would not leave any kindling, it was still fresh and cooked again. After a period of exploration, as long as there were dry leaves and dry firewood, Zhuang Rui almost made it within ten minutes.
Able to draw fire skillfully.
But without the tools at hand, those oysters were difficult to grill and eat, which made Zhuang Rui feel itchy looking at the fish swimming in the sea.
But several times when he went fishing in the sea, Zhuang Rui was teased completely by the fish, and he fully understood the true meaning of the idiom "like a fish in water".
However, Zhuang Rui did find a good place for fishing. It was a canyon seven or eight miles away from where he landed. It is a bit inappropriate to call it a canyon because there was only a pool of fifty or sixty square meters in the valley.
The water in the pool is not deep, the deepest point is only five or six meters. Climbing to the smooth rocks on both sides washed by the sea water, you can clearly see the entire pool, which is as beautiful and transparent as a blue gem.
It may have been caused by a volcanic eruption. There are cliffs on both sides of the pool, and the middle is recessed. After years of erosion by the sea, there is a gap between the pool and the sea, which is only two or three meters wide and no more than one meter deep.
Due to the peculiar environment, some of the more ferocious killers in the sea cannot enter, and this pool has naturally become a paradise for fish.
Standing on the edge of the pool, you can clearly see various marine fish swimming in it. The big ones are one or two feet long, and the small ones are only as big as a finger.
Ever since Zhuang Rui accidentally discovered this place, the water pool has lost its tranquility. Zhuang Rui comes here every day to practice his water skills and try to catch a fish to improve his life. However, this guy has been struggling in the water for several days, which is very sad.
Couldn't catch a fish.
"Brother is here!"
Zhuang Rui was happiest when catching fish every day, so after seeing that the javelin was successfully made, Zhuang Rui couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately put aside exploring the island and excitedly rushed into the pool with the javelin.
Run away.
It is different to say that it has a weapon. After the first few misses, maybe it was a blind cat that encountered a dead mouse or something else, Zhuang Rui pierced a long one with a javelin that was more than a foot long and covered with silver scales.
Big fish.
"Haha, hahaha!"
Zhuang Rui's laughter echoed above the pool. No animals have been seen coming to the beach in the past few days. Zhuang Rui has become a lot more courageous, otherwise he would not have the idea of exploring the island.
"Plop!"
Zhuang Rui jumped into the pool, grabbed the javelin, picked up the big fish, hurriedly climbed ashore, and found dead leaves and firewood near the pool.
"Kaka...kaka..."
With the impact of the knife and the volcanic stone, a few sparks fell on the dead leaves that were scorched by the sun. The leaves were immediately blackened by the sparks. Zhuang Rui quickly put it to his mouth and blew gently.
There is also a skill to blowing. If you blow too hard, the sparks will be blown out. But if you blow too small, it will not be enough to ignite the dead leaves. Zhuang Rui spent several days trying to master this technique.
.
It's a pity that the coin-sized archaeological magnifying glass that Zhuang Rui always kept with him was lost somewhere. Otherwise, it would be a very easy thing to start a fire. Just use the magnifying glass to focus on the sunlight.
After lighting the fire, Zhuang Rui hurriedly disemboweled the fish, which weighed seven or eight kilograms, threw away the internal organs, found a tough branch, threaded it through, and hung it on the fire.
"It smells... it smells so damn good..."
Smelling the aroma of grilled fish, Zhuang Rui's mouth was filled with tears. It had been almost a week since he arrived on the island, and Zhuang Rui had never eaten cooked food. At this time, smelling the aroma of fish, Zhuang Rui almost shed tears.
It came out, of course, with tears of excitement.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Before the fish was completely grilled, Zhuang Rui tore off a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth, regardless of whether it was hot to his hands. It was so hot that Zhuang Rui couldn't help but hiss, and he couldn't even taste the taste of the fish.
Zhuang Rui, who knew he was in a hurry and couldn't eat the hot tofu, finally calmed down and grilled the fish over and over again until it was golden brown. He then set it aside to cool for a while, and then he started to taste it.
“Delicious, really delicious…”
Zhuang Rui, who has been eating fish for more than 20 years, felt that fish meat was so delicious for the first time, a hundred times more delicious than all the good things he had eaten before.
Moreover, the fish meat was very delicate, with no bones except for one big fish bone. The fish meat alone weighed two or three kilograms, and it was all in Zhuang Rui's stomach.
After eating, Zhuang Rui kept the fish bones. This thing could come in handy later. Now Zhuang Rui was broke and had to make use of every resource.
"I need to get some salt..."
After eating, Zhuang Rui felt as if something was missing. He had been eating raw seafood and coconut for the past few days, but with cooked food, salt would become a necessary condiment.
However, making salt at the beach is the simplest. Just dig a shallow and large pit near a coconut grove, divert the salt water there, and then use the heat brought by the sun to dry it for a period of time.
There is salt precipitated.
Although this is not the so-called iodized salt, there is absolutely no problem in eating it. After eating the grilled fish, Zhuang Rui was full of energy and immediately started taking action.
More than three hours later, Zhuang Rui created an open space of about ten square meters next to the coconut grove, dug up the soft sand on the beach, and introduced some seawater.
However, it would probably take three to five days to produce salt. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhuang Rui sat under a tall coconut tree.
Zhuang Rui spent the past two nights in the woods because he was really frightened by the high tide at night, which was like killing people without blood.
The making of the javelin delayed a day's work. After eating in the evening, Zhuang Rui began to prepare the second piece of equipment needed to explore the desert island tomorrow.
If he wants to step onto this deserted island, Zhuang Rui also needs a pair of shoes.
If you were barefoot, let alone entering the interior of the island, even if you walked out of the beach and walked into the woods, Zhuang Rui's feet were pricked several times. Without a pair of shoes, Zhuang Rui could only wander on the beach.
.
"Click..."
Zhuang Rui used a knife to cut open his jeans, cutting off the entire trouser leg below the knee, and then pulled out a few thin threads from the torn areas of the jeans.
At this time, fish bones came in handy. Zhuang Rui found a thick and hard fish bone. After breaking it, he carefully punched a hole in the big head with the tip of a knife. It was a simple sewing thread.
Needle.
"Grandma, art really comes from life..."
Looking at the needlework in his hand, Zhuang Rui sighed with emotion. You know, he learned all this knowledge from movies.
"Take it back..."
Ouyang Lei waved his hand to Commander Xie and looked at the sea in front of him unwillingly. He didn't know how to explain to the old man when he went back, or how to face his sister-in-law and Zhuang Rui's wife.
The search has been going on for seven days, with a wide-net search covering an area of more than a thousand nautical miles, and more than 3,000 aircraft sorties being dispatched. Not to mention anything else, the money spent on this search alone is immeasurable.
It's just that Zhuang Rui seems to have disappeared in this sea area. No clues can be found, not even the parachute that should be floating on the sea.
The army did not belong to Ouyang Lei's family. Although he was determined to continue searching, pressure from the top forced Ouyang Lei to make the decision to end the search operation.
"Chief, I ask to stay..."
After Peng Fei heard what Ouyang Lei said, he became anxious. He firmly believed that Zhuang Rui was not dead. As long as he continued to search, he would definitely find Zhuang Rui.
At this time, the crew members had already returned to the ***. Only Peng Fei was unwilling to go back and had been participating in the search activities.
"What are you doing here, swimming here?"
Ouyang Lei glared at Peng Fei angrily. The pressure in his heart was already great, so he spoke very rudely.
"Chief, please leave me a ship. I will definitely find Brother Zhuang!"
Peng Fei looked at Ouyang Lei almost pleadingly. If he couldn't find Zhuang Rui, Peng Fei would not have the face to return to the police station. He would not have the face to face Zhuang's mother and Qin Xuanbing, who treated him like a family.
"Nonsense, let's go back first..."
Ouyang Lei wanted to scold Peng Fei, but he still didn't say it and waved his hand tiredly.
Under Ouyang Lei's order, the two fleets slowly turned around and began to return. Rescue teams from various countries also returned one after another, and the lively sea area suddenly became deserted.
Two days later, the fleet passed by Hong Kong for rest, and Peng Fei, who was originally on the ship, suddenly disappeared. Ouyang Lei couldn't care about Peng Fei at this time. He was thinking about how to explain Zhuang Fei to his relatives after returning to Hong Kong.
The fact that Rui disappeared.
The very next day, a piece of news appeared in major newspapers in Hong Kong. A luxury yacht with ocean navigation capabilities purchased by a super-rich man at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars was stolen last night.
According to investigations, the yacht is not currently in Hong Kong waters. In other words, it has left Hong Kong waters overnight and entered the high seas after being stolen.
"Brother Zhuang, where are you?"
Peng Fei drove the luxury speedboat at the fastest speed, sailing on the sea like a flying boat. The area he was heading for was the sea area where they parachuted.
In fact, Peng Fei didn't have to use speedboats. As long as he found the Qin family, he would definitely get a better boat. But Peng Fei was a little resentful of Qin Haoran now. If Qin Haoran hadn't asked Zhuang Rui to make this trip, he wouldn't have done it later.
So many things have happened.
But Peng Fei didn't know that the Qin family in Hong Kong was already in chaos at this moment. After Mr. Qin learned about Zhuang Rui's disappearance, his blood pressure became high and he was admitted to the hospital.
Qin Haoran also had no intention of taking care of business and regretted it so much that he flew directly to ***. However, he did not dare to tell his daughter about this matter, and he did not even dare to go to the courtyard. He only secretly told his mother-in-law and wife in private.
In this way, it helped Ouyang Lei a lot. He didn't know how to tell his sister-in-law about this.
When Ouyang Wan heard the news, he was like a thunderbolt, and he fainted.
After waking up, Ouyang Wan could no longer face Qin Xuanbing who was pregnant with her grandson. Whenever she saw Qin Xuanbing, she would think of her son, and finally moved to Yuquan Mountain in the name of taking care of the old man.
…
"Mom, when will Zhuang Rui come back? I'm about to give birth right now. He's such a father..."
Sitting in the courtyard, Qin Xuanbing touched her belly happily. The two little guys became more and more lively. They stretched out their fists and kicked their calves every day without stopping for a moment.
"There is something wrong with the business in South Africa. It may take a while. How about I ask your dad to replace Zhuang Rui back?"
Although everyone was hurt in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on their faces. After all, Qin Xuanbing was still pregnant with the child and was about to give birth. If something bad happened, no one could bear the responsibility.
Fang Yi looked at her daughter, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and tried not to let the tears flow out.
"Forget it, Mom is here with you. If Zhuang Rui is not around, then he won't be here. Dad is getting older, so don't run away..."
Qin Xuanbing is about to be a mother, and she understands how difficult it is to be a parent. Qin Xuanbing still supports her husband in asking her husband to help her father share some housework.
"Child... uh, mom went to see if the soup is ready..."
Fang Yi burst into tears, stood up quickly, and hurried to the kitchen. She was afraid that if she continued talking, she would reveal the story of Zhuang Rui's disappearance.
"Gah!"
Jin Yu jumped down from the tree, and he could feel that Qin Xuanbing seemed to be pregnant with two little lives in her belly, so Jin Yu liked to get close to Qin Xuanbing whenever he had nothing to do.
The current little golden eagle is almost the same size as its parents. It stands over one meter tall on the ground. It is covered in dark golden feathers. Under the sunlight, it shines with golden light, making it extremely magical.
"Jin Yu, do you think Zhuang Rui is too irresponsible as a father? He doesn't even take a look at his own children. How can we punish him when he comes back?"
Qin Xuanbing likes to talk to herself recently. Even though she knows that the golden eagle cannot speak, she often says a few words to the golden eagle.
"quack……"
Jin Yu tilted his head, seeming to understand Qin Xuanbing's words, and after rubbing Qin Xuanbing's hand with his sharp beak, he suddenly ran forward two steps, flapped his wings, and flew up.
"Hey, hey, Zhuang Rui said he wouldn't let you fly around..."
Qin Xuanbing shouted from below, but the golden eagle did not turn around. It flapped its wings vigorously a few times and disappeared from Qin Xuanbing's sight.
Use fish bones to thread and sew the trouser leg on one side of the jeans. Then Zhuang Rui found a lot of soft dead leaves and stuffed them in. After putting his feet in, he tightly covered the trouser legs with shoelaces, and a pair of shoes was made.
.
I stood up and walked a few steps, feeling soft under my feet. Although it wasn't very beautiful, it was still much better than walking barefoot in the woods.
After making the shoes, Zhuang Rui hugged the javelin and fell asleep leaning against the coconut tree.
After getting up early the next morning, Zhuang Rui broke open two coconuts and made breakfast. Then he picked up a dead branch and put it on the beach. It was foggy in the morning and the leaves were wet, so he put it on the beach to bask in the sun all morning.
, it will be available at noon.
Looking at the mountains slowly getting higher in the depths of the woods, Zhuang Rui held the javelin in his hand, gritted his teeth, and walked deeper into the woods.
This coconut forest was much larger than Zhuang Rui imagined. After walking for more than ten minutes, he still couldn't get out. The leaves and dead branches on the ground had become thicker and felt soft when stepped on.
"Um?"
After half an hour, Zhuang Rui finally walked out of the woods. A gentle slope appeared in front of him. There were low bushes growing on the gentle slope. A stream flowed down the mountain and formed a small pool under the gentle slope.
What surprised Zhuang Rui was not the pool, but on the edge of the pool, there were more than ten goats drinking water. This scene made Zhuang Rui feel a little surprised.
Zhuang Rui had imagined many scenes, including the appearance of dinosaurs in the mountains, but he never expected that he would see so many goats.
If the javelin in his hand hadn't told Zhuang Rui that he was on an isolated island, Zhuang Rui would have even thought that he was back in the snowy mountains of Japan.
"Does anyone live here?"
A question popped up in Zhuang Rui's mind. Looking at the appearance of these goats, they didn't seem like the wild goats he had seen?
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone... Is there anyone... Is there anyone..."
Zhuang Rui couldn't restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and shouted loudly. His shouts echoed in the forest for a long time, and frightened the dozen goats who were drinking water, and they quickly disappeared into the bushes.
.
Following Zhuang Rui's shout, several seabirds flew up in the mountains, but then it became quiet again. No one agreed to Zhuang Rui. The silence was like a mountain, overwhelming Zhuang Rui.
Somewhat out of breath.
With such a loud shout and such a loud echo, if anyone was there, they would definitely be alarmed. After standing there and waiting for more than half an hour, they couldn't help but feel disappointed and walked to the stream with heavy steps.
With the existence of coconuts, Zhuang Rui was not too surprised when he saw Tamsui. What he was thinking about now was how to leave this damn island and return home again.
More than a week has passed. Zhuang Rui wonders how worried his family will be? Especially Qin Xuanbing, who is pregnant with her child, will she be hurt after hearing the news of her disappearance?
When you come to this damn island, it's like you're in a restricted area for humans. Although there are living creatures there, it's as if Zhuang Rui is the only one left in the world. It's a very uncomfortable feeling.
Zhuang Rui had to shout loudly every day to vent the depression in his heart.
After squatting by the stream, he drank some water and washed his face. Zhuang Rui walked up the gentle slope. Zhuang Rui wanted to climb to the top of the mountain to see if there were any islands around him.
Zhuang Rui could tolerate being alone on an isolated island for a while, but as time went by, Zhuang Rui felt that he would go crazy. If there were islands around, Zhuang Rui would definitely take the risk and swim to them.
After walking for more than 10 minutes, Zhuang Rui climbed up the gentle slope, but the scene in front of him made Zhuang Rui involuntarily open his mouth, and his eyes were full of ecstasy.
Village, in front of Zhuang Rui, a village made of wooden houses appeared!
