1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 40: Dazzling (Please recommend, please collect)

The sound of sand being squeezed was like a brush brushing against the eardrum.

The fishing boat finally came to a complete stop safely on the beach.

Although they were approaching the shore at the gentlest speed, there was still a vibration that caused the two of them to sway.

If it hits a cliff or a reef directly, you can imagine the intense impact force.

The few flying birds seemed to be the natives of the island. They were startled by the sudden arrival of the uninvited guests. They flew up and landed a few meters away, cursing.

What Liang Ziqiang couldn't have imagined was that there was a brown rabbit squatting in the grass behind the beach.

I don't know what plant he is holding, but he is eating.

After being disturbed by the fishing boat, the natives who were having their meal ran away and disappeared.

Neither of them jumped off the boat immediately.

The main thing is that getting off the boat also requires strength. But at this moment, the two felt that all the strength in their bodies had been drained.

Liang Ziqiang recovered first. After a few minutes, he stood up from the side of the boat.

The water drops on his upper body were still rolling down. Liang Ziqiang realized at this moment that his pants had been wet for a long time.

With just two steps, a puddle of water would flow out of his trouser legs.

It made him look like he was peeing anywhere...

"Hey, are you still alive?"

He walked up to Lin Baixian and patted him.

The latter was now lying on the edge of the boat, and only the rising and falling of his back could prove that this skinny man, lying there like dog shit, was still alive.

Lin Baixian didn't answer him. His face was buried in the edge of the boat, but a humming sound came from his ears.

What the hell? You're crying?

Sure enough, Lin Baixian raised his head from the edge of the boat, his eyes were sticky from crying, and he opened his mouth and said:
"Woo! I thought I was dead! Now, I'm finally alive!"

It seems like tears of joy?

Lin Baixian stood up from the side of the boat crying. He was a little crazy after surviving a disaster and he even wanted to run over to hug Liang Ziqiang.

Liang Ziqiang almost kicked him back into the sea:

"Get lost! Can you wipe the snot bubbles off your face before you hug me? Food is very expensive nowadays, don't make me vomit the little buns in my stomach!"

Lin Baixian stood there dumbfounded, a bubble under his nose bursting.

The joy he had felt at having survived was completely washed away, and his face became filled with anger again. He gritted his teeth and cursed:
"You are so cold-blooded. Two people were doomed to die, but you saved their lives. Shouldn't you be happy?"

Liang Ziqiang glared at him:
"What's so good about being happy? You don't even look up at where you are. This is a deserted island with no drinkable water. I want to leave but there's no boat. How many days can you survive with a dry throat?

It will only take a day or two for the water in the kettle to run out, and you will still be dead!"

Now, Lin Baixian was really not happy anymore.

Yes, why should I be so excited? Not to mention that there is no drinkable fresh water on the island, even if there is, can two grown men rely on fishing for food and stay on an unknown wild island forever?
Speaking of water, the two found that their throats were really dry, like cracked dry land.

After wiping the sea water and sweat off their faces, they carefully picked up their respective water bottles.

The reason why I was so cautious was because I was really thirsty, and there was only a little water available. I was really afraid that I would not be able to control myself and drink it all.

In that case, let alone making it through two days, even making it through tonight would be a problem.

After moistening their throats temporarily, the two decided to get off the boat.

We have to find something to eat around this nameless island before it gets dark.

Now all that was left on the boat were two small steamed buns, a few roasted sweet potatoes, and two cantaloupes.

As the two were now hungry and tired, that little bit of food was not enough for any of them to eat.

After getting off the boat and stepping onto the beach, Liang Ziqiang discovered that this untouched beach was truly beautiful.

The sand is light beige, so fine and uniform, as if every grain has been carefully screened.

The clear sea water is blue with a hint of green, wave after wave, like soft hands touching the sand.

Liang Ziqiang thought of the five people from Lu Feng the day before yesterday. When they were standing on the beach of Fox Bay Island, they were already screaming with joy. If they were to see the beach here, wouldn't they be so excited that they would go crazy? Unfortunately, he didn't have the slightest intention to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

The first thing to do was to drop the anchor from the boat and sink it into the sea near the beach.

Although it is a broken-down ship that can no longer sail normally, it is better than nothing!

If this faulty ship is washed away by the tide, who can we cry to?
After dropping the anchor, Liang Ziqiang did not feel at ease.

He picked up the rope on the boat and found the palm tree by the beach. He deliberately wrapped the rope around the palm tree several times, then tied knots again and again...

Don't blame him for being so fussy, it's a waste of time.

After experiencing the rudder blade falling off incident, he is now deeply suspicious of every component on the ship.

With the iron anchor and the cable as double insurance, he felt a little more at ease for the time being.

No matter how high the tide is, it shouldn't wash the boat away...

While tying the rope, he looked up and saw clusters of palm fruits on the palm trees.

Never mind, since I saw it, I just picked some and ate it.

After all, this was the first food he saw when he arrived on the island.

Unless the brown rabbit that turned and ran away counts.

Liang Ziqiang climbed up in a few steps and broke off a bunch of palm fruits. Judging from his eyes, there were probably hundreds or even thousands of them. Each one was very small, about the size of a longan.

But the taste, compared with longan, is like heaven and hell.

When they put it in their mouths, it tasted bitter and astringent. How could it be eaten by humans? They resisted the urge to spit it out and ate more than a dozen pills.

After all, they knew that this thing was indeed edible, not poisonous, and could at least replenish some water. Although the water content was also limited and did not quench thirst at all.

After leaving the palm fruits behind, the two decided to find a way to get to the island and try their luck.

If I could find wild fruits that could really quench my thirst, maybe I could survive for ten days or half a month without dying of thirst...

Before he had taken a few steps, he heard Lin Baixian scream in a hoarse voice:

"What the hell is that, a scallop? There can't be scallops that big, right?"

In front of us, at the junction of the beach and the reef, the sea water was crystal clear and clusters of scallops were extending rows of tentacles in the water.

The key is that scallops are generally small, and palm-sized ones are considered very large. But these scallops in front of us look a little bigger than a human face.

Scallops are not valuable, but scallops that are bigger than a human face are a different story!
Liang Ziqiang couldn't help but take a breath. In a trance, he felt like he was in a dream.

He resisted the temptation and pulled Lin Baixian:

"No matter how good the seafood is, it can't quench our thirst. Let's go find some wild fruits first."

The two continued to move forward. However, after walking a few meters, Lin Baixian's voice rang out again:

"Damn! Blue Grouper? It looks like it weighs several kilograms, so it must be worth more than ten yuan, right?"

Another two minutes later. Lin Baixian:

"Fuck, what is that fish swimming in the water? Is it a humphead wrasse?! Fuck, I was wrong. What's a blue grouper? Isn't the humphead wrasse many times more expensive than the blue grouper?!"

Liang Ziqiang also caught sight of Su Mei out of the corner of his eye, and this time he really lost his composure.

Although scallops are big, it is not clear how much more expensive they are than ordinary scallops. However, the price of blue spot is always high, and as for humphead wrasse, it is even more difficult to find, and it is more expensive than the "three knives" last time!
I bumped into a humphead wrasse after just a few steps? Although it looked like it was not yet fully grown, it was rare to see one near the island!
This situation reminded him of several islands mentioned in the news. He wondered if this island was one of them...

"Also, that prawn, just one of them is enough to fill me up..."

Every time his eyes swept across the reefs, Liang Ziqiang felt like his stomach was in pain.

Now it's not about money. The things in front of me are all legendary delicacies. Who can bear to watch them all with an empty stomach?

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and walked back:

"Wild fruits and such are not important. Let's go to the boat and grab some food to fill our stomachs first!"
