chapter 9 Insert and catch sea fish

There are five insulated bags, two of which have been filled with fish offal and three have been filled with clams.

Therefore, these four thermal insulation bags are very smelly and must be cleaned thoroughly.

I found some mint leaves by the stream, then broke them into pieces and threw them into a thermal bag to remove the smell.

The mint here tastes pretty good, so I threw some in the other three insulated bags and then filled them with some water.

The insulation layer in the thermal bag is very good and can keep water in the bag very well.

After soaking for a while, I rinsed it with stream water several times, and finally only a faint smell of mint was left in the thermal bag.

I filled all five thermal bags with water, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back."

In just this short time, Tarala and Chimere had already picked a bag of small strawberries.

Tarala wore her own dress, and her long, slender, white legs were coveted.

I just took one look, and my heart was already set on fire. I was worried that I couldn't control myself, so I looked back.

The two of them walked back along the stones on the stream. Tarala said, "Open the backpack."

I took the backpack I had put aside and opened it. Tarala poured all the strawberries into it.

She said: "Deborah and Saahira will definitely be very happy after seeing our harvest."

With that said, Tarala shook out her skirt, and I zipped up my backpack and put it on my back.

Tarala and Chimere each picked up two thermos bags of water.

I picked up the peace ax that I had put aside, then picked up the last bag of fresh water, and returned along the original route with Tarala and Chimere.

To be honest, we don’t have the courage to develop new roads. After all, we are not familiar with this island, and no one knows whether we will encounter any ferocious beasts on the new roads.

On the way, we didn’t have much verbal communication, we just watched the surroundings vigilantly.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, we walked out of the woods and returned to the beach smoothly.

Deborah and Saahira were nowhere to be seen on the beach. The firewood pile for help had been set up, and no one moved the SOS signal placed on the ground.

We searched around and finally found the two of them outside the woods on the north side of the beach.

They lay in the shade of the trees, their lips chapped, and they were very weak.

I walked forward quickly, and the two of them struggled to sit up.

Saahira asked anxiously: "Brother Einstein, have you found water?"

I nodded and gently opened the zipper of the thermal bag a small opening.

Deborah and Saahira immediately crawled over. They knelt on the beach, held their hands in their hands, and looked eager.

I poured a little out, and the fresh water with the refreshing mint flavor fell on their palms. The two of them didn't care that there was still sand on their hands, and immediately lowered their heads to drink.

The two of them drank half a bag of water in succession before they regained their composure.

Tarala handed two thermal bags to Chimere, and then she came over and helped the two of them up.

Deborah and Saahira burped, and their gray eyes gradually regained their luster.

I said: "The water source is a bit far away from us. We need to save the water and drink it."

Tarala said: "We need to find a few pieces of wood to build a bracket, and then hang the insulation bag, otherwise the water will flow out through the gaps in the zipper."

I nodded and went to the woods with my hammer to chop a few sticks.

After that, I took the stick back to the beach and used a sailor knife to peel off the skin of the stick.

Tarala and the others inserted the wooden sticks into the beach, and then tied them up with the skin I peeled off.

After a while, a sturdy wooden frame on which a thermal bag could be hung was set up.

Tarala tied the insulation bags one by one, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Saahira touched his belly and said, "Tarala, Brother Einstein, I'm so hungry."

Tarala said: "We picked some small strawberries. Let's eat them first to replenish our strength. We will continue to dig clams later."

Everyone nodded, I took off my backpack, divided the strawberries, and everyone started eating them.

I have to say that the small strawberries taste pretty good, with a sweet taste and a pleasant sourness.

For us now, any food containing sugar is precious body energy, and any food that can make our taste buds feel happy is precious spiritual comfort.

After I finished eating the strawberries, my mood improved a lot, and smiles gradually appeared on Tarala and the others' faces.

Tarala encouraged everyone: "We have food and we have fresh water. The next thing we have to do is to live well and wait for rescue."

Deborah and Saahira nodded with firm eyes, while Chimere looked calm, without much emotion.

I stood up and said, "I'll look for some suitable wooden sticks later and see if I can make a harpoon and spear fish in the sea."

Tarala said: "Okay, let's continue digging clams and prepare dinner."

I nodded, then returned to the woods, chopped a few more sticks, and then carried them back to the beach.

After throwing away the sticks, I picked up one and handled it with a sailor's knife.

After sharpening, I took off my pants and shirt, took the stick and went straight into the water.

The sea water was a bit cold, but I got used to it after a while.

The wind and waves were not big today, and through the sea surface, I could clearly see the situation under the sea.

A few small sea fish were scared away by me, and the jellyfish moved its body lazily.

In the waist-deep water I walked to, some corals appeared on the bottom.

There were some groupers near the coral. Seeing the opportunity, I directly inserted the sharp wooden stick hard.

Wow! The wooden stick rushed down, and the grouper easily dodged. My sharp wooden stick didn't hit anything.

I was not discouraged and repeated it a few more times, but still got nothing.

I stopped, stretched my sore shoulders, and thought about countermeasures in my mind.

The water refracts the light, so what I see is not where the fish really is.

I can no longer plunge in recklessly. I need to calculate the position of the fish and the distance it will move after being frightened.

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath, and after finding a grouper, I raised the pointed stick again.

I watched the grouper, estimated its location and its movement route, and then plunged in hard.

By the time I took the stick back, the grouper's belly had been stabbed hard.

I held up the wooden stick and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I was good at physics in junior high school."

The water was swaying up and down, as if celebrating my victory.

Just when I was about to turn around and walk back, a woman's body appeared in my sight.
