Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 163 No.90 One day, a feast in captivity
In order to drag these huge tortoises back, it took us a lot of energy all the way.When we came to this place, it took less than 10 minutes, but the journey back to the tree house took more than an hour.

These tortoises were very docile at the beginning and did not make any resistance, but after a long time, maybe the feeling of bumping and being dragged made them uncomfortable, so they all started to struggle.

Even a few tortoises broke free and began to run away with their thick legs.This is of course impossible, how could the food at hand make them run away, so after a while of chasing and catching, these few tortoises trying to escape were caught again with fishing nets.

Although we were not run away by them, it took a lot of time to capture them, and this kind of thing happened repeatedly several times, and it happened again and again, which made our progress repeatedly slowed down.

Moreover, these turtles cannot be lifted after they are caught in fishing nets, they can only be dragged on the ground.And from time to time there will be tree roots, vines, etc. appearing on the ground.As a result, the fishing net is often scratched, which is very annoying.Fortunately, the end of the woods is in sight, and it won't be long before we can leave the woods and return to the yard.

Everyone was sweating profusely, especially those who dug the pit just now. They hadn't rested yet, and they were very thirsty now, so they didn't dare to stay longer in the woods.You must know that wild boars often appear in this forest, and the path we are on now is trampled by wild boars.If you stay and encounter wild boars, it will not be worth the candle.

As soon as they returned to the yard, Brother Qian, Ying Yuefeng, and Mi Dakang all lay down in the shade of the trees in the yard, panting heavily, and began to recover their strength.All the tortoises in the fishing nets began to struggle to get out, but all the fishing nets were made very strong by us along the way, and it was impossible to escape again.

After Ye Qingchen set up the fishing net, he was about to sit down, but I stopped him.We are all thirsty, and I must send him and me to get some water. At 01:30, it didn't take much energy, and because I was in good physical condition, I rushed to the tree house and drank a few sips of water before rushing out again.

I heard Brother Qian ask him where he was going, and he said he was going to bring back the branches he had picked up before, and rushed out of the yard after speaking.I took a few bowls, and Ye Qingchen followed out with a basin of cold water in his arms.

Everyone was thirsty, and they all drank desperately, and they didn't stop until their stomachs were full.A basin of water was also drunk by the four of them.Fortunately, I had already drank some when I came out, otherwise I would have to drink unboiled water in a bucket.You know, I boil a pot of water every night, and then hang it in the basin, just to drink it the next day.In this kind of place, I dare not drink the fresh water casually, for fear that there may be some parasites in it.In places where there is a lack of medical care, it is better to be safe, so that you can have greater confidence in getting yourself out of here.

I took out the straw mat that was given to me at 01:30 from the tree house, spread it out and lay down on the ground. I was exhausted and needed to rest for a while.Not only do we have to finish the trap later, but we also have to enclose a space for these huge tortoises to live in.

Everyone has different opinions on whether to keep these tortoises in the yard or to enclose a piece of land outside the yard.What Ying Yuefeng meant was to keep them in the yard, and just enclose a small piece of land. If they were kept outside the yard, the workload would not only increase, but he also thought that if there were wild animals stealing these tortoises, We can't see it at all.

Of course I don't agree with his statement. The space in the yard is not big because of their arrival. If these giant tortoises are kept in the yard, it will definitely make the yard even smaller. And I think if we give these elephants Turtles have too little room to move, and they are likely to be uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Brother Qian’s opinion is similar to what I thought. He also thinks that it is better to keep these tortoises outside the yard. Instead of eating them, use them as food reserves. It is very good to eat one when there is a lack of food or when you want to eat meat.

In addition, the advantage of keeping them outside the yard is that there are many natural plants and weeds outside, at least for a period of time, we don’t need to feed them, and more importantly, we can use what these tortoises eat , to judge which plants they are interested in and what they like to eat the most... After all, none of us here has experience in how to raise these tortoises.Only after getting to know them during this period of time can we know their preferences, and then we can raise them more reasonably based on these results.

After resting for about half an hour, I finally came back at 01:30, holding a lot of slender branches in my hands. Thanks to his height, big arms and long arms, other people might not be able to hold such a big pile of branches. Come.

Now that the materials and everything have arrived, everyone stood up and started a new round of busy work.But if five people are going to trap, it is indeed too much.So Brother Qian asked me to cap the trap with him, and let everyone else enclose a place of thirty to fifty square meters for those tortoises.And he repeatedly told them that these tortoises have the ability to escape from prison, so when they are penning, they must ensure that there are no slopes on the edge of the fence, and that it must be dense enough, and there should be no too big holes between the fences.

In fact, when I first heard it, I thought it was quite difficult. There is no slope in front of it. It is not very difficult, but it is very difficult to ensure that there are not too many holes. But looking at them, no one raised any objections. They were relieved, which showed that they had great confidence, so they didn't question it at all.

……

Acting separately, Brother Qian asked me to jump out of the thick branches, and then sharpened them with a knife and handed them to him. The thick branches of the arm were inserted one by one... After more than an hour, the bottom was already covered with dense branches, and the sharp branches faced the sky. Humans can also become a hornet's nest...

Finally, Brother Qian asked me to find some stones. There are relatively few stones in this place, so I found some stones that I picked up to pave the ground.I saw that he stuck these stones into the gaps in the branches, probably to prevent the branches from being skewed by the falling wild boar.

The next work is very simple. Spread these branches little by little, cross them back and forth to make a cross, and finally cover them with fallen leaves that can be seen everywhere, and it's done.If the wild boar comes again, once it falls into this pit, there will be no return...
