Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 127: Survival in the Wilderness (End)
The knowledge of how to grow ginger is not stored in the heads of any of Chili's group, not even Jian Yuan, who grew up in the countryside.


But it doesn’t matter. Have you never seen a pig running or eaten pork?

A few people picked up half of the ginger brought back by Chili and saved it to avoid failure after planting. The other half was simply buried in the soil that had been plowed in advance, and then poured some water.


Whether you can survive or not depends on your fate.


Chili allowed her companions to fiddle with her. After she brought Ginger back, she immediately set off towards the woods, deliberately walking deeper along the way, looking for treasures hidden in nature.


There are many creatures living on this island. In addition to countless snakes, rats, insects and ants, there are also various small animals.


This is something Chili knew from the beginning.


But maybe due to some small luck, or the instinct of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, since Chili and the others landed on this island, they have encountered very few animals.


However, that wild boar raid seemed to have broken some invisible boundary. Since then, Chili and the others have seen some passing animals quite frequently, most of which were small ones, such as mice, birds, rabbits and the like.


It’s not that I haven’t thought about these “foods” before, but because they are too flexible, it is too difficult to catch these prey without professional tools and understanding of catching techniques, so after several attempts, I ended up trying to catch them. After the failure, Sun Wen and Chen Zhuze, who were most active in the project, could only give up with regret.


But out of some unwillingness to do so, they still set up some random traps in the woods, hoping that one or two fools would fall into them.


Unfortunately, until now, more than a week has passed, and there are still no hairs at all.


Think what comes.


When she saw a nest of eggs of an unknown bird hidden in the grass not far ahead, Chi Li was really stunned for a moment, and then she felt a little surprised.


How can I put it, for a person who is lucky enough to have almost all her wishes come true, no matter what good luck happens to her, it is as natural as her hair falling out and her nails growing.


There are still some small surprises, but not much.


Chili took two quick steps over and was about to squat down to pick up an egg and take a look at it. Suddenly her ears twitched and she heard some movement in the grass. She immediately stood up and took two steps back, narrowly avoiding a sharp peck.


"Cuckoo..."


The attacker failed to deliver a single blow, and then raised his sharp weapon. He chased the intruder aggressively and pecked him several times, but he was nimbly avoided by the other party.


"It's a pheasant."


When she saw the attacker's appearance clearly, Chi Li recognized the identity of the attacker. It turned out to be a pheasant.


Pheasants are different from domestic chickens in that their feathers are more colorful and their body is thinner. Of course, their fighting power is not comparable to that of domesticated chickens.


If you were really pecked by it, not to mention being injured, the pain would definitely be very painful.


To be honest, Chi Li was a little greedy for eggs and wanted to eat roast chicken even more.


If she wanted to fight, she would definitely be able to beat the chicken in front of her, but if she didn't cheat and use spiritual power, and she was on land without the underwater bonus, she would definitely be easily injured in a fight with the chicken. After all, this chicken seemed to be very capable of fighting. Not weak, not easy to fight.


Chili was afraid of pain and was unwilling to take risks just for a bite to eat. It was not necessary, so she could only give up or quit.


When we get back, we'll find Jian Yuan and the others to touch the eggs.


Seeing that Chi Li had run away, the pheasant continued to chase her, even flapping her wings and flying up. However, she accidentally flew so fast that she flew over Chi Li's head. The wind brought up only lifted a few hairs of her hair, and then she fell headlong. I fell into a trap casually disguised with weeds and fallen leaves, and struggled to get out.


Chi Li: "..."


The first thought that flashed through her mind at this moment was that Sun Wen would be very happy if she knew that their trap had finally caught the prey.


Looking up at the sky, Chi Li knew that her exploration of the woods today could only end here. She sighed helplessly, and turned around to find a strong vine. She had struggled until she had no strength in the narrow pit. He fished out the pheasant and tied it up, then turned back and took away all the eggs from the nest, carrying them back together.


"Wow! Chili, what is that in your hand, a pheasant? You actually caught a pheasant, that's amazing!"


As soon as she walked near the high platform, Chili was discovered by Sun Wen. After seeing what she was holding in her hand, Sun Wen was so surprised that she jumped three feet high.


Her exaggerated reaction attracted the attention of the other two people. Jian Yuan and Chen Zhuze heard the sound and came over and saw Chi Li's gains. Immediately, the praise Chi Li received tripled.


"It's not my fault alone, your trap also played a big role."


Without taking credit, Chi Li told her the ins and outs of catching the chicken, but Sun Wen retorted: "No, no, no, the main contributor is still you. We ourselves know the virtues of making those traps. Damn it." That thing is amazing if it can catch prey. The main reason why we can catch this chicken is because our Sister Li is awesome."


If the pheasant hadn't become so angry in order to attack Chi Li, it wouldn't have been unlucky enough to fall into the trap that Sun Wen and the others dug blindly, and was finally caught by Chi Li, even with the nest intact.


"By the way, didn't you say there are still eggs? Take them out and show them to us." Suddenly remembering that Chi Li had picked up a nest of eggs, Sun Wen hurriedly urged her.


Thinking about various ways to prepare eggs, she couldn't help but salivate.


"At this."


Chi Li dug into his pocket and took out thirteen eggs.


Wild eggs are generally a lot smaller than domestic eggs, which is why Chili can stuff so many eggs into her pocket.


She forgot to take her handbag out when she came back from transporting ginger, so when she wanted to put it in, she realized that she had no tools and had no choice but to put it in her pocket.


"Can these eggs hatch chicks?"


Before Sun Wen suggested boiling all the eggs and eating them, Jian Yuan asked first.


"I don't know, but judging from the way the mother hen protects her cubs, it should be possible, right?" Chi Li said uncertainly.


The few people looked at each other, and the tacit understanding they had spent together for a long time made them understand what each other meant.


"Otherwise, if we raise this chicken and eggs, we may be able to hatch a bunch of chicks, so that we will not be short of chickens and eggs in the future." Chen Zhuze raised his hand and expressed his opinion weakly.


"it is good."

"I think it's fine."

"can."


This proposal was approved by all.


Now that you have decided to raise chickens, you must prepare the necessary things. The most important thing is to build a chicken coop to prevent pheasants from escaping.


This is very simple, just a chicken and a nest of eggs. There is no need to make a big place. Chili and the four of them randomly selected an open space and first built a dense fence with bamboos, about one square meter in size. , then put a roof on it, leave a door at the door that can be opened and closed, fill it with weeds, put two bamboo bowls in the corner, one filled with water and one filled with food, and then put the eggs one by one Put it in carefully, and a simple chicken coop is ready.


After making the chicken coop, they directly untied the pheasant that was tied up and put it in. At first, the pheasant would flutter around in panic in the chicken coop, but then it became quiet and began to hatch eggs.


Seeing this, Chili and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.


They were afraid that the pheasant would work too hard and not only refuse to hatch the eggs but would kill them. If that happened, they would have no choice but to give up their plan to raise chickens and add another meal tonight.


I haven’t eaten chicken or eggs for a long time, and to be honest, it’s weird.


Fortunately, although chicken and eggs were not available for a short period of time, with the addition of ginger, the food Sun Wen made was more flavorful, making everyone quite satisfied.


Thanks to everyone's efforts, the days passed smoothly and quickly.


When Chili came back to her senses, half a year had passed. The weather had cooled down unconsciously, and sometimes there would even be light snow. Occasionally, a thin layer of ice would form on the sea surface due to the low temperature, although it would soon become colder. It was washed away by the waves, but the coldness brought by the ice surface was still strong.


It has entered winter.


It's dinner time now, and the sky is getting darker. A thermometer found in the garbage is hung on the wall at the door of the bamboo building, showing a temperature of -5°C.


Chili, who was afraid of the cold, wore several pieces of clothing, including three pairs of pants, and her upper body was wrapped like a ball. Although the fabrics were not very thick and warm, they were still a little exaggerated.


There was nothing she could do, she was really afraid of the cold.


Fortunately, she doesn't have the habit of hibernating, otherwise she might have to lie in bed and sleep with her warm quilt until spring comes.


"Take it and warm your hands."


Jian Yuan handed Chili a bowl of hot egg soup.


"Thank you." Chi Li held the soup bowl in her hands and felt the warmth gradually return to her frozen fingertips. She couldn't help exhaling a breath of white mist and sighed: "It's so warm."


"Drink it while it's hot. There's still some left after you finish it."


Sun Wen squatted beside the fire, warming herself while turning the rabbit on top. There was a pot hanging next to it, in which egg, mushroom and wild vegetable soup was being stirred.


Their chicken coop has now expanded from one square meter to the size of a small house, estimated to be about five or six square meters.


The chickens kept inside have also expanded from one at the beginning to sixteen now.


Except for the first one, ten of them were hatched from those thirteen eggs. I don’t know why, but in the end, three eggs failed to hatch successfully, and the other five were all from Chili and the others. They were caught outside, two males and three females.


The chicks born in the first clutch have not grown enough yet, so now only the four hens can lay eggs, but even if the four chickens can only lay one egg a day, Chi Li and the others have also achieved egg laying. Freedom, not to mention these hens are very capable, each one can lay at least one egg a day, and occasionally two.


Therefore, after successfully raising chickens, Chili and the others no longer had to worry about eggs and had a stable source of food supply.
In addition to chickens, they also caught hares later and raised them in the same way. Then they saw how strong the reproductive ability of rabbits is.


It took less than half a year for Cong's first few animals to join the group at the back. As a result, Chili and the others were not only able to eat rabbit meat, but also had pillows and chair cushions made of rabbit fur.


Since they didn't know how to deal with animal fur, they all messed around. In the end, they didn't succeed much. They only had enough to make a chair cushion for each person, and even the pillow was unique to Chili.


Because she is most afraid of the cold, a fluffy rabbit fur pillow will keep her warm.


The rest that failed to be made naturally rotted. Fortunately, they raised many rabbits and had enough raw materials for them to toss with.


In addition to making some achievements in breeding, they also did not fall behind in planting Chili.


Surrounding the small bamboo house, they opened up a large field for planting, which was neatly planted with various fruits and vegetables, as well as some common herbs. There was also a large field planted with a large number of potatoes.


However, before winter comes, all these mature potatoes have been harvested and are currently being stored in the Zhulou warehouse.


The temperature is low now, so I won't worry about them getting damaged if I leave them like this.


Unsurprisingly, Chi Li discovered potatoes, and when she discovered them, they were in a large area. In fact, just relying on that large group of potatoes, they could achieve potato freedom, but most wild potatoes were poisonous and not very big. Accident prone.


Therefore, Chili spent a lot of effort to select those individuals that were not poisonous or had extremely weak toxicity and brought them back for planting.


With potatoes, their staple food was solved, and they no longer had to worry about food.


Maybe this was because he didn't panic when he had food in his hands. Since then, Chili found that everyone had lost the sense of urgency and uneasiness that had existed in their hearts before, and had become much more relaxed. They even began to slowly find fun in this wilderness life. .


One of them is to add entertainment to yourself.


For example, Jian Yuan still spends most of his time doing various handicrafts, but the items he makes have changed from just daily utensils to include toys.


The bamboo balls he knitted for Chi Li are still under Chi Li's bed.


Not to mention there are other spinning tops, straw dragonflies and other things.


Not to mention, these things are too childish for children in modern society with abundant entertainment, but they are just right for adults who are bored and empty in the wilderness.


It is worth mentioning that after Chili retrieved Tudou, another group of people on the island did not know where they got the news. With He Baiqing as the representative of the group, they came to Chili and the others to make a deal.


They exchanged a batch of useful tools from the garbage dump for ten potatoes.


Among these tools is the thermometer.


Although Chili and the others can go rummaging through the trash if they want something, rummaging through the trash is also a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to find what they want and have it delivered to their doorstep. Come on, why should they refuse?


In the end the deal was reached and both parties were satisfied.


Both parties live on the island. Even if they are not destined to each other, as long as they still go out, they can still meet by chance a few times.


So gradually, Chili and the others learned that He Baiqing and others later occupied the place surrounded by many big trees where Chili and Jianyuan ran to hide from the storm in the early days of living on the desert island, and regarded it as a ready-made place given by nature. Houses to live in.


Some modifications have been made inside. A large plastic sheet was pulled up on the top to cover the rain. It is also a patchwork style, and the bottom is arranged into a slightly messy shelter, which is more than enough for three people.


Nearby, they found a relatively open place and cultivated a field, which was planted with potatoes and a small number of identifiable non-toxic wild vegetables. The yield was not high, but it was more or less a fixed food supply point.


In addition, they seemed to have tried to imitate Chili and the others in raising something. Unfortunately, they failed to catch those agile prey after struggling for a long time, and the breeding plan failed at the very beginning.


Fortunately, a small amount of food and many useful tools could be found in the early garbage dumps. They went fishing on the beach, pried oysters and conchs off the rocks, and picked up kelp and seaweed on the beach.


Although the process was stumbling and quite hard, at least I survived in the end.


Time always seems to dilute everything.


Sun Wen would still feel happy when she saw someone she hated having a bad life at first, but later she would lose her temper and no longer pay attention to irrelevant people. Even if she occasionally met Hou Ruizhi, she would just glance at her and look away. , mind your own business and do your own thing.


Later, Hou Ruizhi secretly approached Sun Wen and seemed to want to ask her for forgiveness and let her take him to join Chi Li's team, but Sun Wen mercilessly rejected him.


Afterwards, Sun Wen was still afraid that Chi Li and the others would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to speak out about the matter, and repeatedly promised that she would never be disgusted by love.


Chili and the others were dumbfounded.


"I believe you."


This was Chi Li's only statement to Sun Wen at that time, and it also represented everyone's attitude.


Hou Ruizhi, who was rejected, had no choice but to return to his original team, but he didn't know whether he was not careful enough or something. His secret running to find Sun Wen was exposed, although He Baiqing and the others did not drive her away. However, after this incident, the relationship between the three of them could never return to the past. He and Baiqing had vague signs of isolating Hou Ruizhi, which caused Hou Ruizhi's life to fall into trouble for a time.


Chili has given up on rescue.


After going out to sea day after day to search but finding nothing, one day she suddenly reduced the frequency of going to sea, and only occasionally went to sea on a whim to swim and catch fish.


At first, Jian Yuan and others might not understand why Chi Li went to sea frequently, but as time went by, they all figured it out.


When they saw Chili going from hope to disappointment and finally giving up, no one said anything. However, during that period of time, Chili really felt all kinds of care and comfort from her companions, both covertly and overtly.


This made her heart-warming and a little sad at the same time.


Unable to find rescue, they don't know when they will be rescued and return to modern society. Will they have to live on this desert island for the rest of their lives?

Chili herself was fine. A human life was not that long for her. Knowing that the original owner's only wish was to "live", she just had to ensure that she would not die. Wait until the original owner felt that she had lived enough. , she can leave this body and leave this world.


But what should Jian Yuan and the others do?

They are still very young. Do they have to bury their young lives on this deserted island because of an unexpected disaster?That was too tragic, and Chi Li couldn't bear to see this scene.


But the rescue that didn't know where it was was really hard to find. Chili even asked some highly intelligent sea creatures to help keep an eye on it, but after waiting for so long, she still found nothing.


In the end, she had no choice but to give up.


Chili squatted in front of the bamboo house, drinking soup and eating meat while dazed. In a trance, she seemed to see a small light shining in the dark distance.


At first she thought it was her imagination, but it wasn't until she noticed that the small dot swaying on the sea was getting closer, and she could even hear the long sound of the ship's whistle, that she suddenly realized something.


"Ship, it's a boat!"


Chi Li was not the only one to discover the surprise, Jian Yuan had already jumped up and pointed in the distance and shouted.


It was rare for him to be so emotional. Everyone was startled and immediately reacted, jumping up and down with joy and shouting happily.


"Hey! We are here, help, there is someone here!"

"Hey, can you hear me?"

……


Such a distant record, so close to the shouts of people, they might break their throats and no one would hear them.


Fortunately, although Akechi's hope was slim, Chili and the others had prepared for this day in advance.


Afraid that the rescue they had finally waited for would run away if they took one step too late, Chi Li and Jian Yuan rushed into the house at almost flying speed, exploded all the fireworks and firecrackers that had been stored under the table in the living room, placed them in the open space, and started Set off.


These are the treasures they finally dug out of the garbage. These are the only treasures they have, and they are gone once they are released, so this also means that they only have one chance to seek help. Now they just hope that ships in the distance can notice them.


Sun Wen and Chen Zhuze were not idle either. Together they added firewood to the fire and poured water on it, creating a large amount of smoke in an attempt to attract the attention of ships in the distance.


"Help!"

"We are here!"

"Save us!"


……


Fortunately, their call for help worked. The ship passing by in the distance noticed the movement here, and slowly looked for the light of the fireworks. Finally, they discovered this deserted island hidden in the vast sea, and the trapped people there. Two waves of people on a desert island.


Luck seems to stack up. After being rescued on board, Chili and the others were surprised to find that the people on the ocean freighter all spoke the same language as them, which meant that they were from the same country and were compatriots.


Help from one's own countrymen is always more tender and attentive.


After they were rescued and boarded the ship, Chili and the others were informed of their arrangements by the captain. They would be placed on the ship and as the freighter arrived at its destination, of course, that place was definitely not their own country, so they arrived at the local The captain will help contact the local embassy to arrange for the group to be sent back to the country, and help notify their families.


"Great, we can go home!"


Sun Wen hugged Chi Li with tears in her eyes. She was so excited that she didn't notice that the person she was hugging looked sluggish for a moment, as if something had been pulled away. Then she returned to normal. She hugged her back with a warm smile and murmured. : "Yeah, great, I survived."


Jian Yuan stood on the deck and stared at the gradually smaller desert island, quietly like a puppet.
