One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

Chapter 88 Island Day 42 Fish, Big Fish!

Another few days passed, and the days were like the weather these days, calm and calm.

Plain, tasteless, but comfortable.

Get up early in the morning, whether it is okay or not, wash your face with sea water first, and then go to see the traps and fish cages. If you are lucky, you can add a meal, if you are not lucky, you can save it.

Eat and work.Catching water, boiling water, distilling, boiling salt... Weaving weaves, chopping firewood.At noon, I went to the resting place, steamed by the sun and the wind, slept coolly while steaming, and continued to work after getting up.

day to day.

Ye Yajie quit!

Sitting on the reef out of the sea, feeling the coldness under her buttocks, Ye Yajie was holding a wooden stick and yawning continuously.

The sun is not too strong now, and I just have nothing else to do, so I made a fishing rod out of the sticks and fishing lines I picked up to see my luck.But it's been almost an hour, and I haven't even seen a fish bubble.

Is it really the heart of the emperor, not the life of the chieftain?

Ye Yajie was a little unwilling, so she turned her head to look at the resting place.

Water was distilled in front of the rest house. Yao Yanan and Mu Jie changed Lin Jianfei's dressing in the cave. In the rest house, only Wen Suiyun followed Han Tang and the old lady was weaving straw clothes and straw pants.

Straw sandals have long been a pair for each person, and three coir raincoats have been completed, which is enough.

Thinking that being idle is also idle, Han Tang and the old lady started weaving straw clothes and pants for them.

It just so happens that the current clothes are too short, and if you expose your stomach all day, you will definitely catch a cold, so it's better to make a grass coat that can cover your stomach.

Yesterday I just finished one piece, and I put it on Wen Suiyun's body. They are all woven with fibers and feel a little soft. Looking at Wen Suiyun's precious appearance, it is obviously very comfortable to wear.

Now, Wen Suiyun was helping them in straw pants.The little guy seems to have completely inherited the advantages of his mother's "clumsy hands". Except that he is not strong enough, he has not been able to stop her in manual tasks. Unlike his own "smart hand", each finger has its own ideas and cannot command.

"Tsk."

With a tsk sound, Ye Yajie stood up and jumped into the water, touched a stone from the water to hold down the fishing rod, and dribbled to the shore.

"Little devil, let's go, use your bloodline!"

Without further ado, Ye Yajie put the hat on the man's head, and went to the reef with Wen Suiyun in her arms.Put people on the reef, tie ropes around their waists, and climb up the reef.

"Take it, it depends on your luck whether you can have an extra meal today."

Stuffing the fishing rod into Wen Suiyun's hand, Ye Yajie patted her thin body confidently.

"Yeah! I'm sure to drop a big fish today~"

"Hmm, so it's up to you."

One big and one small sat on the reef and basked in the sun.

Han Tang glanced over, shook his head amusingly, put down his knitting, and said to the old lady, "Grandma, I want to go for a walk."

She kept talking and making gestures, but the old lady understood, put down her things quickly, and helped Han Tang get up, "Walk slowly, and come back after a few laps, don't walk for too long, and be careful not to get tired."

Ban Fang Ban Pu handed over a stick while exhorting, Han Tang took the stick, thanked him, and went out of the rest room.

There is nothing to go to, the beach is only so big, and I went around a few times to look at the sea, no surprises, no accidents, and I almost went back.

Today is the same, standing outside the limit of what the waves can hit, looking up into the distance, the sea level has no extra points, no extra ups and downs, it is still a straight line.

Holding the necklace on his chest, Han Tang lowered his eyelids.

She knows, and she knows that the wish of expectation is impossible to realize, but it is an uncontrollable expectation, expecting a miracle to appear, so even though she is disappointed again and again, she has to look again.

Today is still a disappointing day.

Han Tang laughed at himself and put the necklace back under his clothes.Looking into the distance again, one hand rested on his shoulder, "Don't stand too old in the wind, be careful not to blow badly."

Looking back, it was Mu Jie, Yao Yanan and Lin Jianfei who just came into view, and it seemed that they had changed their medicine.

Looking back, Han Tang nodded, "Well, I know, I'll go back later."

After she finished speaking, she looked towards the sea again.

Seeing this, Mu Jie patted her shoulder lightly, "My condolences."

Han Tang smiled back, "You too."

The two remained silent for a while, one looked at the sea, and the other stood by her side to accompany her.

Although they are all people who have lost their loved ones, different experiences and different futures make everyone feel differently.

Zhao Guoming is Mu Jie and Yao Yanan's closest and favorite elder besides their parents. They will mourn his death, but they will not despair, and they still have spiritual dependence.

Han Tang was different. Mu Jie saw the desperate silence after the storm. If Wen Siqi hadn't been there, Han Tang would have died in the sea with her husband.

From some of the subsequent conversations, one can guess that Han Tang's husband is unique to her.

The feelings are different, so naturally there is no empathy at all. Instead of talking about useless comfort, it is better to stand with me for a while.

Sometimes silent company can comfort a person more than words.

That's what Wen Siqi said. When Han Tangyi was standing on the beach looking at the sea again, after she stood with him a few times, they asked her why she didn't bring him back. That's what she said.

Later, when Wen Siqi was away, she and Yao Yanan would also accompany her, or Ye Yajie and the others.

The standing time is not long, so how long can a big belly stand.After a while, Han Tang moved, turned around and said, "Thank you." He went back to the resting place with Mu Jie's support.

In the rest house, the old lady is still weaving grass clothes, Yao Yanan is adding water to the iron pot, and filling the clay pot with sea water. A lot of water is distilled out, and the salt is also filtered in the second round. With chopped wood.

Han Tang greeted them, and was about to sit down with Mu Jie's support, Ye Yajie's eagerness came from the waves.

"Fish! There are fish! Come on!"

Subconsciously looking up, there is no fin protruding from the sea surface, and it seems to be an inconspicuous little character.

Listening to Ye Yajie's sudden excitement, Yao Yanan shook her head helplessly.

Isn't it just a fish, what are you doing in such a hurry.

"Big fish! It's a stingray! Come on!"

big fish? !

Yao Yanan immediately dropped the things in her hands, grabbed the spear that was put aside, and rushed towards the sea.

Not to be outdone, Lin Jianfei threw down the ax and grabbed the spear Mu Jie handed over, and rushed forward together.

"Where is it? Where is the big fish!"

"Over there! About four meters in front of you to the right, hey! Don't go straight, be careful to scare it away, go around, go around!"

Ye Yajie pointed to a vague approximate location in the shallow sea, standing on the reef and gesticulating.

Yao Yanan and Lin Jianfei surrounded from both sides according to her instructions, and soon saw a strange fish swimming in front of them.

A little round, not quite round, with a long thin tail, like a spade on a playing card, but with a less pointed head.

Slowly approaching through the water, the fish seemed to have not noticed their approach and were still wandering.

Lin Jianfei raised his spear.

"Don't rush to approach it, be careful of its tail, it's poisonous!"

The sudden warning immediately made Lin Jianfei give up approaching and took half a step back.

He now values ​​his life more than taking the fish.

Yao Yanan also took a step back, but she couldn't bear to put down the spear in her hand.

The food was exhausted again, the conch and shells on the beach were all eaten clean, the traps had not seen prey for several days, and even a mouse could not be caught, and the fishing nets were full of fish fry that were only big enough to stuff their teeth. It was still difficult when she and Mu Jie only ate some vegetarian food.

In the past two days, she and Mu Jie went to the rock pile, or went a little further to get some food.

It's a pity to just give up when I finally see a big fish that seems to be covered in meat.

Ye Yajie was also confused.

Catch it, the tail is not easy to mess with, it is so thin and long, it will be stuck if you are not careful.

She has never experienced how poisonous the toxin on the stingray's tail is, she just heard that it is poisonous.

If you don't catch it, it's really not reconciled to just watching the meat swim away from your eyes like this.

It is high tide now, this fish should have come with the tide, whether it will leave in a while, there is still a chance.

"Is there any way not to..."

Ye Yajie raised her eyebrows, her eyes fixed on the wandering stingray.

"Sister Ye, fishing net."

At this moment, a sound came from the ear, and a little finger stretched out in front of the field of vision.

Looking along, a fishing net stretched out in front of the right side of the field of vision, and Mu Jie and the old lady were picking the net.

"That's right, a fishing net!" Ye Yajie's mood suddenly rose, and she quickly shouted: "Drive it to the fishing net, wrap it!"

When Yao Yanan heard the words, she turned her head and looked behind her. Mu Jie and the old lady had already taken off the net and were coming this way.

"Brother Lin, I'll go over there to catch it. Let's try to push it to a shallower place together. It's too deep here, and now there are waves again. Grandma may not be able to stand."

"Okay, just go, leave this to me."

The two separated.Yao Yanan dived deeper into the sea, and the sea water soon overflowed her chest.

Lin Jianfei took a few steps to the side, and stopped when the sea water was still a little away from the wound.

They both looked at each other, approached the stingray together, and the spears passed slowly under the water.

Maybe it was the tide, or maybe the stingray didn't feel the crisis, and it didn't take long for it to be driven to a shallower shoal.

Mu Jie and the old lady hurried around and opened the fishing net. Lin Jianfei and Yao Yanan took the corner of the fishing net, and the four of them fanned it to block its retreat.

When they were about to approach, Mu Jie and Yao Yanan squatted down at the same time, approaching slowly and carefully, the fishing net passed under the stingray, Lin Jianfei and the old lady lowered the height behind them, so as to avoid the fishing net touching the stingray early and scaring it Walk.

Almost there.

Yao Yanan and Mu Jie made eye contact, and slowly closed the fishing net that passed under the stingray, and began to lift it up.

"rise!"

The water splashed and the water shone. Under the sunlight, a large flat fish struggled in the net that was too thin to be seen. Its slender tail flicked wildly, trying to threaten the person who caught it to let go of the net.

It's a pity that it's just futile, the fishing net is not small, it's about the same size as the plastic tarpaulin you picked up, and if you pull it from a distance, no matter how much it swings its tail, it won't be able to shake anyone.

Without being stabbed, naturally there will be no worries about being stabbed. The four happily lifted the net to the beach, and the fish struggled in the net.

"Cut off the tail, and find another place to bury it."

Ye Yajie covered Wen Suiyun's eyes and squatted in front of the stingray, watching Lin Jianfei drop the spear and kill the stingray with one blow, and added a word of advice.

Mu Jie brought a stone axe, and cut off the tail neatly.Yao Yanan dug a hole on the beach, picked his tail into the hole with a spear, and buried it in the sand.

The old lady turned over the fish, worrying about the aluminum knife in her hand.

How to kill this fish?

The old man was a little distressed. He had only seen such a strange fish in his life, and it was very different from the fish he saw in ordinary times. He was at a loss as to where to start.

"There's no hesitation, it's not just the flesh and the internal organs, you can go wherever you want."

Ye Yajie didn't care about it after hearing Yao Yanan's second-hand processing.

That’s right, there’s no need to get entangled at all, the tail that needs the most attention has already been buried, and the rest just needs to pay attention not to cut the internal organs, and let the liquid that shouldn’t flow onto the meat pollute the meat, the treatment method is no different from other fish.

After listening to Yao Yanan's words about processing again, the old lady moved the knife up and down, and the operation was smooth and smooth. It didn't take long, and the meat was processed.

Set up the bucket, boil the water, serve the meat, wait for the water to boil, wait for the meat to smell, sprinkle some salt, add some small ingredients, and a pot of steamed stingray is served.

Another delicious day.
