The big fish in my arms has to weigh five catties even less! Although I don't know what kind of fish it is, I seem to have seen it in the vegetable market. It should be an edible one! However, to be safe, I used a knife to cut the belly of the fish, dig out the internal organs, and took it to the beach to clean it thoroughly.
Generally, poisonous fish mainly concentrate their toxins in the viscera and peritoneum. We learned this in medical school. I naturally knew that, so I did this. But I didn't realize that when I was cleaning the fish at the beach, there was an unexpected gain!
When I was washing the fish, it was probably a bloody smell that got into the water, which attracted several fish that might be carnivorous! I hurriedly put the fish aside and fetched the harpoon again, but I stabbed another fish that was not too big! In addition, several crabs that were attracted were also caught by me!
My mood is getting better and better, and this unexpected harvest makes me very happy! Finally, I handed over all the seafood I caught to Wang Nan and let her cook it! Wang Nan's cooking is delicious, I know that, although it may not be as good as Xiaofeng, it is also good at craftsmanship!
On this desert island, she didn’t have any cooking materials, just simple barbecue. I also gave this job to her, because I have a superstition, that is, the same thing, the same production method, by different people. The taste is different if it is made by hand!
Wang Nan then found a branch, and with my assistance, put the fish on it, set it on the fire, and started roasting it! She kept flipping the fish, and the fragrance came out in no time! In addition, the crabs were also worn with a screwdriver and grilled by the fire.
I sniffed the grilled fish greedily, and kept groaning in my stomach, "Nan Nan, it's almost done, I'm hungry!" I reached out and tried to taste it.
"Don't worry, it's not alright!" She patted the back of my hand, not letting me move. "Go, find a few big leaves, which will be used to hold fish later!"
Reluctantly, I had no choice but to obey the order, stood up, went to the bushes to find two large leaves, and then folded two branches back. Then, I started to cut the thin branches with a short knife.
"Xiaoxin, what trick is this?" Wang Nan asked curiously. Obviously, after coming to this desert island, my performance satisfied her! These ordinary people may not be able to get fire, distillation equipment, etc., but I did it and solved the immediate crisis. This made her look at me with admiration and thought I was full of tricks!
Now, seeing that I was cutting the branches, she didn't know what I was going to do, so she asked me.
"Guess what?" I pretended not to answer mysteriously.
"Bad guy! Let people guess!" Wang Nan said with a curl of his lips.
"Hey? Heaven and earth conscience, you girls always love people to guess, when will I let
You guessed it! "I retorted pretending to be dissatisfied.
"When? Just now! Didn't you just let me guess!" Wang Nan blinked his eyes, then said with a smirk: "Are you also a woman..."
I was made fun of by Wang Nan as a woman, and a fire in my heart, but I rolled my eyes and said to Wang Nan, "I am a man or a woman. You will know if I inspect the goods, or I will take it off now?" With that said, I stretched out my hand to my waist!
"You! Rogue!" Wang Nan was taken aback, yelled angrily, and quickly closed his eyes!
When I saw her demo, I felt more proud, hehe, you little girl, play routine with me, and be more tender!
After that, I continued to cut the branches in my hand. When it gradually formed, Wang Nan realized that I wanted to make a pair of chopsticks.
"It turned out to be chopsticks! Humph! It's so mysterious!" Wang Nan snorted coldly, pretending not to look at me, but couldn't hide the happy expression on her face. Obviously, she thinks that I am very caring!
Whether it’s a fish or a crab, it’s very hot after it’s grilled. It’ll be very hot if you just grab it and eat it with your hands. Thinking of making a pair of chopsticks for her to use!
That's how Wang Nan and I are together. You can understand each other's intentions without saying anything. It feels so good!
Soon, the fish was cooked, and the crabs were almost exposed to the residual heat by the fire! Wang Nan carefully put the fish on the leaves I found, and finally, we can pack a meal!
There are a lot of fish, so I don’t have to be modest, I reached out and grabbed a piece of it and stuffed it into my mouth! It was freshly baked, and it was still a bit hot, so hot that I exhaled.
"Haha, slow down, no one will grab you!" Wang Nan smiled and looked at me, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious... It's delicious..." The fish is very hot, and I am struggling to speak! However, after chewing for a few bites, I suddenly found that the fish had a slight salty taste. Could it be because it was fish in the sea that it had a salty taste? Doesn't it seem? I recalled the sea fish I had eaten before. Sometimes the salt would be very weak if the salt was not added
"Nan Nan... how does this fish... have a salty taste?" I asked suspiciously.
"Simple, I put salt!" Wang Nan also took a bite with chopsticks, then said.
"Where is the salt?" I am curious, there is still salt on this desert island? I have been concentrating on cutting my chopsticks just now, but I haven't noticed when Wang Nan put the salt.
"Here! Over there!" Wang Nan pointed at the bush next to him. There were some coral stones under it, and the color was a little different. I took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a layer of salt crystals on it!
"I just scraped it off there!" Wang Nan said to me happily. But then she lost her smile because
Wang Nan saw my expression very strange.
Yes, my expression at this time is astonished with a hint of fear! The joyful and happy mood that I had so hard to have just now suddenly slapped my face!
Because, looking at the salt crystals on the coral stones, I suddenly realized a problem. When the tide is high, the island may be submerged! Otherwise, how could there be salt crystals on the rocks on the shore!
I hurriedly thought about it, and observed the surrounding environment again, and found that my conjecture is inseparable from Jiǔ! In other words, this atoll may be completely submerged by the sea at some point!
"Xiaoxin! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me..." Seeing my nervous expression, Wang Nan was also a little worried.
I immediately told Wang Nan what I thought, and she couldn't believe it after listening to it. "Can you? There are so many plants on this island, how could it..."
"Some island plants are very salty, so I'm not afraid of being soaked in sea water. Moreover, I don't think that the sea will completely submerge the plants after the sea water comes up..." I held my chin in my hand, pondered, and answered Wang Nan's question. .
"Oh... That's okay, the water level is not too high, right?" Wang Nan looked at the low shrubs and said.
She made sense. Even if the atoll will be submerged by the sea, it will not be too deep. We should be fine if we are standing on the island, but it is difficult to lie down and sleep, and the most important thing is , Our fire is on the ground! How to save it? Do you wait until tomorrow to make fire again
Moreover, if the island is submerged, the wood and dead leaves will be soaked, so what should we use to make the fire
Thinking of the dead tree and dry leaves, I suddenly felt that my guess might be wrong. Otherwise, how could the trunk and leaves be dry? If it was soaked in water last night, can it be dried out today? Can't it
After thinking about it, I still didn't dare to take the risk, so I said to Wang Nan, "Nan Nan, we have to go back to the boat to sleep just in case! Let's eat first, when we finish eating, we will transfer the things to the boat! "
Wang Nan saw that I said so, and had no objection. We then hurriedly started to eat. I don’t know why, but the grilled fish that I thought was delicious just now is tasteless. This has a lot to do with my mood.
But in the end, we were still in the wind, and we ate up both fishes. For the rest of our life on the island, it is important to preserve our strength and calories.
Then, seeing the water level of the sea getting higher and higher, I quickly took Wang Nan to transfer the things on the shore to the boat, pushed the boat closer to the shore, and finally tied the rope to a tree. On the coconut tree.
When we are done with this, the sun is set to the west, and the sky has gradually dimmed. (End of this chapter)
