Three days before the end of rebirth

Half an hour later, when the two of them appeared under the waterfall, Leng Qing got in again and took a pleasant bath.

The same goes for Cao Wei. After all, although coconut oil can provide sun protection, it is still a bit sticky and uncomfortable.

After feeling refreshed, Cao Wei tried his best to climb to the top of the waterfall. When he looked out into the distance, he found a bunch of bamboo forest not far away, which seemed to be quite large.

"Damn good stuff!"

Cao Wei was immediately excited. Bamboo is a very friendly plant for survivors because bamboo has a wide range of uses. It can build shelters, make harpoons, and other necessary items for survival. Most importantly, bamboo is surprisingly tough.

Good to get.

It is much easier to break a piece of bamboo and take it away than to chop down a tree!

And in the other direction, there are some hibiscus!

Hibiscus is a very practical tree. It can be seen everywhere along the coast of the Pacific Islands. Its heart-shaped leaves are a major feature. Its smooth bark is perfect for making binding ropes. Just tear off a thin strip from the trunk and twist it into a rope.

, you can get a very good rope.

Cao Wei looked at it again and decided to build the shelter in the shade. He chose a depression on the top of the waterfall, where the view was wide and he could prevent predators in advance.

As long as it is daytime, the hunter will be seen within 500 meters of him, and the direction of the beach is more than 1,000 meters away.

And this depression is very hidden and difficult to find.

He first went down to the hibiscus tree, and took Leng Qing with him to tear off the bark of the tree.

It's very simple. Just draw a circle around the three-sided military tattoo and then tear it off.

Leng Qing was very happy that she could make a difference. She patted her well-developed breasts in front of Cao Wei and said that she would twist them into ropes.

So Cao Wei went in another direction, found some dry branches to put on the depression, and then took some more branches to make a bracket.

Then he called Leng Qing, took the rope made of hibiscus bark fibers from her hands, and tied the wooden frame tightly.

The frame is basically formed. He still needs to find some coconut tree leaves and put dried coconut leaves on the first layer. Dried coconut leaves are readily available. He just needs to go to the coconut tree to pick them up. It is very easy.

Then he climbed up the coconut tree and cut some fresh coconut leaves. Fresh coconut leaves are more waterproof.

He covered a few layers again and looked at the shelter in front of him. Cao Wei was very satisfied.

There are stones on both sides, with a natural concave depth of one meter, and a large coconut leaf is covered on top.

The hole in the front is also very convenient for entry and exit.

Perfect!

"You can have a good sleep tonight!"

Cao Wei said with satisfaction. Unexpectedly, Leng Qing suddenly appeared on the side. She was holding a large handful of hay and spread it on the ground of the shelter.

"I'll spread some hay and then get some banana leaves, okay? Also, I'm hungry, let's eat some crocodile meat."

Leng Qing said obediently.

Cao Wei was ecstatic in his heart. Leng Qing became cute and cute, just like a little daughter-in-law. He couldn't bear it!

He smiled, took out a piece of crocodile meat from the back of his backpack, and cut it up for Leng Qing.

"We can only survive on this meat for about ten days at most. We need to find a way to find food, and we need to start a fire here. We cannot live without fire."

With that said, Cao Wei picked up two pieces of wood and started drilling the wood to make fire again.

Seeing him like this, Leng Qing was used to it, and she quickly and consciously ran to the side to find dry firewood.

Not long after, the campfire burned. Cao Wei took a burning stick from it and left the camp.

"Where are you going?"

Leng Qing looked at him and asked.

"I'll get some bamboo and give you some extra food tonight!"

Cao Wei looked at the sky and saw that it would get dark in more than an hour, so he had to hurry up, so he left after saying that.

"Additional meal..."

Leng Qing muttered, looking forward to going, but suddenly she realized why she looked like a little wife waiting for her husband to come home?

Thinking of this, she felt a little shy and a little happy.

A girl's heart is complicated...

Cao Wei's idea was simple. They had to find ways to find food. Since they were at the seaside, they naturally had to try their luck at sea. To catch food in the sea, they had to make a harpoon first.

As for the material for making the harpoon, of course he couldn't use steel, so the bamboo in the bamboo forest became the best material he could obtain.

Cao Wei came to the bamboo forest with a torch. Of course he didn't want to burn the bamboo forest. That would be stupid behavior.

However, although these bamboos are easier to cut down than those trees, it would be impossible to cut off a bamboo as thick as an arm with a three-edged thorn in just a few days.

So Cao Wei decided to attack with fire.

He will light a fire at the bottom of the selected bamboo and use the fire to burn it.

In order to avoid fire, Cao Wei dug a fire isolation pit around the bamboo in advance, and then always paid attention to the size of the fire, and put it out immediately if he felt something bad.

These bamboos are his treasure!

In addition, these bamboos themselves are sealed small sections. In order to prevent them from exploding due to pressure changes during the burning process, Cao Wei also poked several holes in the lower bamboo sections with military thorns to release the pressure.

Then, Cao Wei started to light the fire.

In this way, after burning for about five or six minutes, the bamboo finally couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed suddenly, and the surrounding birds scattered in all directions.

Cao Wei happily walked to the top of the bamboo, burned the bamboo in front of him that was about as thick as his wrist, about one or two meters long, and then left with satisfaction.

When he arrived at the camp, he started making bamboo spears in front of Leng Qing.

The bamboo spear he wants to make is the simplest kind, with four thorns. The specific method is to first use a rope made of hibiscus bark and wrap it tightly 20 centimeters below the spearhead.

This is to prevent the bamboo pole from splitting completely. Cao Wei used a lot of hibiscus bark to tie it firmly, then split the end of the bamboo pole that was wrapped with the hibiscus leather rope, then carefully inserted a thin wooden stick, and then knocked down

hit.

The head of the bamboo pole is divided into two.

Then split it horizontally, put in the wooden stick, and hit it downwards.

In this way, the bamboo pole head was divided into four, and then Cao Wei took the military thorn and sharpened the four heads one by one, so that a simple harpoon was completed.

The sharper the harpoon head, the easier it is to catch fish, and it can also come in handy if you need to defend yourself.

When Cao Wei held the completed harpoon.

Leng Qing's face was filled with admiration, and her eyes were filled with little stars.

"Cao Wei, I really admire you. You know so much. This skill is so cool!"

Leng Qing held the harpoon with a happy face.

"I'm going down to catch fish, you wait here!"

Cao Wei smiled proudly and jumped into the sea water.

After Cao Wei dived into the sea, he carefully swam towards the coral reef.

The water depth near here is about six or seven meters.

Fortunately, the beach here is relatively mild, with fewer undercurrents and waves.

Cao Wei opened his eyes in the sea and felt a stinging feeling, but fortunately he was once a good swimmer in rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River.

He had long been used to opening his eyes in the water. Although it still stung a little due to the salt content of the sea water, after getting used to it, Cao Wei felt that it was no big deal.

He held the harpoon in his hand tightly, and he was trying his best to make the best harpoon using the available resources.

He was very confident in this harpoon.

You can definitely catch fish!

There are so many fish in the sea, it just depends on whether Cao Wei can succeed, but doing so is also very risky.

Because some fish are poisonous and some fish can attack people.

As far as Cao Wei could see, there were all kinds of coral reefs. These coral reefs were covered with sharp thorns that could easily scratch the skin, and they were often inhabited by many fish disguised as corals.

He remembered what Mr. Bei once said.

"Never put your hands into any dark places or gaps that you can't see clearly. There may be vicious moray eels inside. They are very territorial and aggressive and will attack anything in sight."

And don’t even think about eating them. Conger eels can cause fish poisoning, which is the most common seafood poisoning in the United States in recent years.

Cao Wei walked around and had to get up and float upward.

After all, no matter how good he is in water, he can only hold his breath for a few minutes before he comes to the surface to breathe. Humans are one of the mammals that are least able to hold their breath.

"Damn it again!"

But Cao Wei did not intend to give up.

He took a breath and dived again.

Catching fish not only improves their food, but also replenishes their physical strength. It is impossible for them to eat crocodile meat all the time.

A variety of food is a very important condition for survivors.

This time Cao Wei saw a turtle. The turtle's shell was as big as a millstone. It looked like it should be an adult green algae turtle.

If that turtle can be captured, he will definitely be able to have food and water for a few days.

But they have long been listed as an endangered species, and trying to catch green algae sea turtles with the simple harpoon Cao Wei had is simply a fantasy.

Cao Wei was even more worried that his neck would be bitten off by it.

After groping again, Cao Wei was disappointed not to find a lobster.

You must know that the big lobster in the sea is an excellent delicacy.

The premise is that you won't be stung by its thorns.

He was almost out of breath down there, but the time he had been holding his breath had increased compared to before, and his lung capacity began to increase.

Those swimming skills of the past are being awakened.

If Cao Wei wants to catch fish, he must practice holding his breath for a longer period of time.

"For the last time, if you still don't find anything, forget it."

Cao Wei was talking to himself on the sea, and the corner of his eyes turned to the camp where Leng Qing was in the distance, with the bonfire burning above.

Cao Wei sneaked in again.

But he didn't expect to encounter a shark here. When he passed by a reef, he suddenly found a shark swimming out from the dark area under the reef.

Luckily it was just a small high-finned whiteeye, one of the least aggressive fish in the area, but it reminded me that there might be other sharks nearby.

Because it is one of the recipes of other large sharks.

Cao Wei had no choice but to go ashore as soon as possible.

"It seems that this fishing trip was a failure."

Smiling to himself, he held the harpoon and walked back.

He really didn't want to give up, no matter what the survival situation was, he couldn't give up easily, but if it was a shark, well, let's forget it.

When you meet a shark in the water, life or death depends entirely on whether it wants to eat you. There is no resistance. It is a gamble.

Cao Wei didn't want this.

"Try your luck, I don't want to go back empty-handed and be laughed at by Leng Qing."

He thought about it in his mind and decided to try the traditional method of the Pacific Islanders. I was looking for a plant that could poison fish.

Tuberous plants are very common in the Pacific Islands. They have special oval leaves and grow on the seashore. They are poisonous weeds.

Its toxins accumulate in the roots, killing the little bugs that are greedy for its nutrients.

It is so toxic that almost no small animals can be spared.

"That's great! It actually does exist, haha, tonight's fish and meat are available."

Cao Wei searched everywhere on the rocks on the beach and finally found a few plants.

His face lit up, he hurried to where he was, looked at the sky, and then dug it out as quickly as possible.

"For my fish, I have to hurry up!"

Cao Wei's hands and feet were agile and he used military thorns to pick out its fresh and small roots. The toxicity here is the strongest. It was getting late. If he wanted to use this poison to kill small fish, he had to be faster.

Because when the tide goes out, those who explore the reef too deeply are often trapped in the tide pool. Cao Wei has to crush the roots of the tuber and squeeze out the oil.

The specific method is very simple. He only needs to mash the roots and shake them in the water a few times. The poisoned fish will float to the surface within a few minutes.

This is because the tuber plants and roots contain rotenone. Aboriginal people have used this natural toxin for fishing for thousands of years. Rotenone is highly toxic to fish, but surprisingly has no effect on humans, so all fish caught can be assured.

edible.

"Damn, there are ten fish! Haha, now it's better!"

Cao Wei returned to the camp with the fish in great joy.

"Why did you come back?"

Leng Qing was a little dissatisfied. It was almost completely dark now.

As for the fish in Cao Wei's hand, she was not surprised at all.

After all, Cao Wei is really reassuring.

Even if he said he killed a shark now, Leng Qing would... well, this is too difficult.

But catching some fish is a matter of course.

"You didn't eat shark meat?"

Cao Wei was a little surprised when he looked at the intact shark meat and Leng Qing, who looked hungry.

"Aren't they waiting for you?"

Leng Qing rolled her eyes, this guy!

"Hey, wait, I'll stew a fish for you."

With that said, Cao Wei picked up a wooden stick and scattered the bonfire, revealing the blackened charcoal in the middle.

Cao Wei gently pushed aside the charcoal, then dug a pit. Cao Wei wrapped the fish in layers of banana leaves, placed it under the charcoal, and covered it with a layer of sand.

Finally he restored everything, with a roaring bonfire burning on top and the fish buried underneath.

"What is this for?"

Leng Qing was already accustomed to Cao Wei's strange behavior, but she still couldn't help but ask.
