As a boy, Zhang Liu, who is suitable for doing heavy work, is looking for various edible and easy-to-preserve shellfish in the sea water which is only one meter deep after the tide goes out.
He didn't encounter the novice protection benefit of fishermen who got a big fish falling from the sky like yesterday, but today.
However, the harvest was quite good. In just a short while, the basin that Zhang Liu found out of the water and used as a container was already filled with giant clam shells.
And the shells are all intact.
The shells were incomplete, so those suitable for dinner were smashed and cleaned up, leaving only the meat, which was then placed in the coconut shell next to it.
It’s almost installed.
Walking out of the sea in his underwear, Zhang Liu looked at Anya who was digging hard on the beach and asked, "How did you get?"
After finalizing the plan to set the sheep trap tomorrow, food storage became the top priority.
So he and Anya are currently fighting on two fronts. Zhang Liu is responsible for the more dangerous task of diving into the water to collect shells, while Anya is digging for various foods lying in the sand on the beach after the tide goes out.
"Well, there are four crabs, some starfish, and some clams..." Anya, who was bending over and pulling at the beach, suddenly showed a frustrated expression as she answered, and then she raised her palm from the sand.
A half-twisted clam lay in the fleshy palm.
"..." Zhang Liu couldn't help laughing.
Anya said with an embarrassed look: "The harvest is not bad!"
As she spoke, she pointed proudly at the simple white foam box placed next to her.
This was done by Zhang Liu in the cave by cutting two pieces of extra foam boards and then using tree branches as fixed supports.
The capacity is very large, and Anya spent half a day digging for seafood lying on the sand, but still couldn't fill the bottom.
Four large blue crabs were crawling inside, making rustling sounds.
From time to time, he would pick up a starfish with pliers and swing it.
Or try the various shellfish Anya crushes.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Liu felt a little more relaxed.
No matter how the sheep catching goes tomorrow, he will leave the cave the day after tomorrow, say goodbye to Anya and Qin Ruoshuang, and then go to investigate the wreckage of the plane, where important supplies are likely to be found.
The only tool at hand is a sharpened piece of metal, which does not meet the prerequisites for shipbuilding or long-term camping.
So much food can be easily found on this beach now, so Zhang Liu doesn't have to worry too much about Qin Ruoshuang and Anya running out of food and ammunition after he returns.
and……
He also recalled the scene where Qin Ruoshuang and Anya met each other just now.
Originally, Zhang Liu was very worried that the two would engage in terrible situations such as cold violence or even direct conflict.
But the result was that after they met, Qin Ruoshuang was the first to show an apologetic smile, and then Anya also lowered her head and remained silent.
Then the two began to talk about their respective ideas and arrangements for the future.
A conflict that might have occurred just disappeared inexplicably.
"Let's go, Anya, we should go back." Turning his head to look at the sun that had turned red and was setting, Zhang Liu knew it was getting late.
Without waiting for his clothes to dry, he tied the sleeves of his shirt up and down to make a package, stuffed his pants and socks into the package, and then tied it behind his back.
The coconut shell containing the meat is stacked inside the giant clam shell and then held in both hands.
Zhang Liuguang, wearing sneakers, was about to go back to the cave with Anya, who was holding a simple foam plastic box in front of her.
But after he walked forward for several dozen meters, he turned around and found that Anya was standing there without moving.
"Student An Ya?" Zhang Liu was immediately a little surprised. He quickly ran to Anya and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Anya still didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and looked at the seafood in the foam box. Her expression was calm and it was impossible to tell what emotion she had.
Then, when Zhang Liu beside her was already extremely anxious, she whispered, "How was my performance this evening?"
"Ah?" Zhang Liu was stunned for a second, then nodded and said quickly: "Great!"
After thinking about it, he considered that Anya seemed to like being praised, so he added: "Anya, you are always great!"
Hearing this, Anya's expression suddenly became a little annoyed. After taking a deep breath, she turned her head and looked at Zhang Liu seriously, then said: "Anya! If you want me to work so hard in the future, you are not allowed to call me Anya classmate, you have to call me Anya!"
Zhang Liu was somewhat confused by Anya's behavior. After being stunned for a long time, he finally called out, "An? Anya?"
"Let's go! Let's go back!" Anya took the initiative to walk in front of Zhang Liu, and her steps instantly became lighter.
But halfway through the walk, she still emphasized in a very serious tone: "In front of classmate Qin Ruoshuang, you have to call me Anya, otherwise I won't listen to you!"
As he spoke, the word "classmate" of Qin Ruoshuang was extremely clear.
After saying that, Anya quickened her pace again, her pretty face already flushed.
Chapter 45: The arrogant girl who eats in a hurry with a pale face.
Shortly after putting down the seafood, Zhang Liu and Anya, who were busy with their own work below the cave, met with Qin Ruoshuang who had just returned from catching rabbits.
At this moment, it was getting dark outside, and the three of them were preparing to spend the fourth night in the wilderness.
"What's wrong with you?" Anya took off her shoes and sat by the fire, looking at Qin Ruoshuang walking towards her, her body covered in grass and in a dishevel. There was some curiosity in her tone.
Of course, she saw the "straw mat" laid in the cave, but it shouldn't have been to this extent, right?
Zhang Liu, who was busy preparing seafood, also looked at Qin Ruoshuang strangely.
"There's a rabbit in the haystack over there!" Qin Ruoshuang said with regret, "But I can't catch it."
"Rabbit..." Upon hearing these two words, Zhang Liu suddenly felt that the shell meat that was rolling up and down in front of him was no longer fragrant.
After all, it’s protein with a strong meaty flavor!
"Yeah, it's hard to catch!" Qin Ruoshuang walked to Anya's side, brushing off the grass on her body and said, "Zhang Liu, are you keeping watch outside tonight?"
"Yes, I want to guard the water source. In this way, there might be a chance to capture it tomorrow night." Zhang Liu nodded, then used a metal sheet to cut the kelp rhizomes into pieces and put them into the giant clam shell that served as a rice cooker. He continued, "If the capture fails tomorrow night, I will set out for the wreckage the day after tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Qin Ruoshuang nodded slightly.
Although she was a little worried that Zhang Liu's solo actions might cause problems.
But considering that his performance here was completely incomparable to hers, Qin Ruoshuang had no confidence to say anything like he was worried.
"By the way, you can try this." Zhang Liu handed the golden fruit to Qin Ruoshuang and Anya, and said, "I am sure this is the egg yolk fruit, because it tastes exactly the same as the one I had in the fruit store before, and it also looks like this in the plant illustration."
Facing this new fruit, the two women behaved differently.
Qin Ruoshuang held the fruit in both hands and looked at it carefully. It was obvious that she had never seen such fruit before and was a little curious.
And Anya started directly to her mouth.
"It's so bad..." Then she couldn't help but complain vaguely.
When you take a bite, it feels like eating sweet sand with a low water content.
When Anya smelled the sweet aroma of the fruit and took a big bite, she thought it would taste like a big mango.
As a result, this thin layer of skin is extremely tough and sour.
The flesh inside is particularly lacking in moisture, and it really is like a cooked egg yolk, instantly covering every corner of the mouth and beginning to greedily demand moisture.
"It is said that the vitamin C content is very high." Zhang Liu brought the boiled water to Anya, then looked at Qin Ruoshuang who was peeling and eating and asked, "How do you feel?"
no answer……
Because Qin Ruoshuang's first bite was also quite big, the inside of her mouth was also covered with it, just like Anya's.
She chewed hard, trying to stimulate her salivary glands to secrete saliva and move the egg yolk fruit that was blocking her throat down.
After struggling for a while, the two girls finally swallowed the egg yolk fruit in their mouths, and then began to nibble on it, savoring this relatively rare fruit.
Zhang Liu was silently looking at the fruit in his hand. A thought flashed through his mind and he immediately fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong?" After eating the fruit, Qin Ruoshuang and Anya both looked at Zhang Liu who was thinking.
Their tone was a little worried.
"I'm worried about the time issue." With a slight sigh, Zhang Liu put down the egg yolk fruit in his hand, then looked at the two and said, "Our original study tour plan should be to go to the Cook Islands in the Pacific Ocean to enjoy the tropical scenery, right?"
"Yes." Qin Ruoshuang's tone suddenly sank when Zhang Liu suddenly mentioned the reality: "Is there any problem?"
"And we have already completed the transfer from Sydney." Zhang Liu pointed to the ground and said, "In other words, if the worst happens, we should be on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean now."
"That should be the case." Anya nodded, then asked, "Zhang Liu, what do you want to do by saying this?"
"In other words, this is definitely a tropical area, so the winter we worried about being too cold should not happen, but there may be heavy rainy seasons and dry seasons."
Frowning as he pondered the geographical knowledge he had learned, Zhang Liu finally understood the difference between books and reality.
Those wilderness survival knowledge directories only record a lot of interesting techniques or examples.
But there is never a complete solution.
There is no detailed description of how to survive the rainy season or the dry season.
"Does the rainy season mean a lot of rain?" Qin Ruoshuang frowned after hearing Zhang Liu's words.
"Well, but in this situation, without medical logistics, it's impossible to risk being caught in the rain. Right now it's around November, which should be the dry season, so it's not a problem, but after that, around June, it seems to be the rainy season."
Zhang Liu smacked his lips, then said, "We must make preparations to keep out the rain in advance."
"It's better to hide here." Pointing to the mountain above her head, Anya said, "It's so deep here anyway, the rain can't get in."
"Then what should we eat?" Qin Ruoshuang glanced at Anya, then said, "It's not raining now, so it's convenient to go outside to find food. What if it rains continuously in the future?"
"Let's take it one step at a time. It's such a big forest, how can the three of us starve to death?" Zhang Liu shrugged and said, "Let's eat first."
Looking at the two people's solemn expressions, he also realized that he was a little too worried and had also brought about the emotional aura of the entire team.
So Zhang Liu took the initiative to take out the two cooked crabs from the small giant clam shells, and then handed them to Anya and Qin Ruoshuang, who were showing worried expressions, and said, "Anya, Qin Ruoshuang, shall we eat the crabs first?"
"Thank you." Qin Ruoshuang reached out to take the giant clam shell, then placed it in front of herself and waited for the crab to cool down.
But Anya had an angry expression on her face. She kept staring at Zhang Liu, and sat still, as if she didn't see the crab handed to her.
"???" Zhang Liu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the name the other party had said to him, so he cleared his throat and tentatively repeated, "Anya, would you like to eat crabs?"
"Hmm!" The resentful expression on her face suddenly disappeared. Anya, who thought she had perfectly "trained" Zhang Liu, reached out to take the crab and began to enjoy it.
From time to time, there were "Ciha, ciha" sounds of being scalded.
Seeing Anya's cute behavior of being scalded but unwilling to let go, Zhang Liu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled secretly, then turned around and scooped out several pieces of kelp rhizomes for himself and put them in the giant clam shell to cool.
Behind him, Qin Ruoshuang, who was playing with crab legs in her hand, looked at Anya, then looked at Zhang Liu.
She suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart.
This is different from Zhang Liu, who is so thick-skinned that he has no idea what the difference is between the two names, "An Ya-classmate" and "An Ya".
To Qin Ruoshuang, it was obvious that Anya didn't want to eat, and Zhang Liu said nice things to coax her to eat!
If I don’t want to eat, will Zhang Liu call me Qin Ruoshuang?
Thinking of this, she really wanted to say "I'm full" as a test.
But seeing Anya stuffing crab meat into her mouth in a panic, Qin Ruoshuang didn't dare to speak casually.
What if this guy really snatches the crab from me and eats it?
While struggling, she stuffed the sweet crab meat into her mouth and soon skipped over the matter.
At the same time, the highlight of the dinner, a large bowl of a mixture of shell meat and kelp rhizomes was evenly served into the bowls of three people.
Faced with a bowl full of soup that has been cooled to the point where it is just right to eat.
Qin Ruoshuang and Anya, whose appetites had been whetted by the crab meat, didn't even consider the issue of address.
He was just busy picking up the bowl and scooping food into his mouth with makeshift chopsticks made from tree branches.
Compared to the two people who were enjoying the meal, Zhang Liu, who kept the impure meat with broken shells for himself, had to spit out a piece of shell from time to time.
This scene was also seen by Qin Ruoshuang and Anya, who remembered that Zhang Liu first gave them the top two layers of meat.
After looking at each other, they both stopped eating silently.
Chapter 46: Eating secretly and exercising after meals are both important
"Why don't you eat anymore?" Zhang Liu turned his head and spat out a shell fragment towards the beach. He caught a glimpse of the two people who had stopped eating. He asked in confusion, "Are you full?"
"no……"
Qin Ruoshuang looked at the food in her and Anya's bowls, two-thirds of which was shell meat, and the rest was kelp rhizomes.
