Chapter 541: Survival on a Desert Island
readx;
After sleeping on the reef off the coast for a whole night, Zhu Youzhen was awakened by the cool sea breeze. The www.biquge.info was lucky to be able to float to this island from the endless sea and avoid drowning. But then a conundrum came to him: how to survive on this island?
He looked at Li Zhenyan beside him, who was asleep and did not wake up. Both of them are now naked, and everything is missing. What's even worse is that Li Zhenyan's high fever continues to go away, and now she has fallen into a coma.
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly picked up Li Zhenyan from the hard reef, walked more than twenty steps towards the island, and gently placed her on the relatively flat and soft ground.
Li Zhenyan's forehead is hot, and it must be at least thirty-nine degrees; The wounds on her shoulders and wrists were also red and swollen, which looked like inflammation. And the two have not eaten and drunk seriously for many days, and they swam hard last night, and they have seriously overdrawn their physical strength. If Li Zhenyan is not given a supplementary diet and timely treatment, her life may be in danger.
Obviously, the two men had nothing, and everything had to be taken from the island. Zhu Youzhen looked around and found that there were tall betel nut trees, palm trees, and coconut trees everywhere, and there were bushes under the trees, and there were many cacti. It seems that this is already a tropical area, but it is unknown where exactly.
Now Zhu Youzhen only has the word "save people" in his heart, and he doesn't know where he got so much strength, so he stubbornly climbed a coconut tree several feet high and picked a few big and round coconuts. But the coconut shell was extremely hard, and Zhu Youzhen didn't have any tools, so he had to find a stone and smash it at the coconut.
But after smashing for a long time, the coconut shell was unharmed. Zhu Youjian was angry, raised the coconut above his head, and smashed it the reef. Not to mention, after a few strokes, the coconut shell really cracked, and the coconut juice inside gurgled out. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly came to Li Zhenyan with a coconut, opened her mouth, and poured coconut water into it.
After drinking the juice from three or four coconuts like this, Li Zhenyan's condition was really better, and she could open her eyes slightly. At this time, the sun has risen very high, and the temperature on the ground under the sun has risen sharply. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly carried Li Zhenyan under a coconut tree with a huge crown, and smashed a few coconut leaves with stones, covering her body and blocking the strong sunlight.
"Your Highness... Thank you for your hard work..."Li Zhenyan opened her eyes slightly, smiled at Zhu Youzhen, and closed her eyes tiredly. Zhu Youzhen saw that she was able to speak, so he relaxed a little, and drank a few coconuts himself.
Now I was not thirsty, but the intense hunger quickly hit again. It is not enough to fill himself with coconut water, so Zhu Youzhen decided to make a tour of the island to see if there was anything to eat. As for the betel nut on the tree, it was not in his consideration at all, because it was extremely astringent in the mouth, and it was a rare thing to taste, and it was impossible to use it to satisfy the stomach.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen had time to observe this carefully. He noticed that the island did not seem to be very large, just a hill high above the sea. The vegetation on the island is dense, with palm and coconut trees near the coast, and some mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests at higher altitudes, showing a vertical drop.
Anyway, the peak is not very high, and Zhu Youzhen plans to climb it first, so that it is condescending and much more convenient to observe. And after a moment of careful listening, he did not hear the roar of the beast. It seems that there are no large beasts on this island, and the safety of the two can still be guaranteed for the time being.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen whispered a few words next to Li Zhenyan, who was in a semi-coma, telling her that he was going to find food. Li Zhenyan nodded weakly, but gestured behind Zhu Youjian with her eyes.
Zhu Youzhen turned his head to see that it was a giant desert cactus more than one person tall. He immediately understood, cut off a piece of the stone, and carefully removed the lower spikes, holding them firmly in his hand. In this way, he has a weapon of self-defense. Although this thing is not sturdy, and I am afraid that it will break off immediately if it hits a hard object, it is better than nothing.
Then he began to climb to the top. Judging by the sun in the sky, they are in the north side of the island. Fortunately, the north slope is relatively gentle, and the climb up is not strenuous.
In the process of mountaineering, Zhu Youzhen made several important discoveries.
First of all, moss grows all over the tall trees. Zhu Youzhen watched a TV show with "survival in the wild" as a selling point in his previous life, and knew that this inconspicuous moss was too important. There may be something to eat in the wild, but if you don't want to eat it raw, you have to have fire. And dried moss is an excellent fire starter.
Second, in addition to tall trees such as betel nut trees, there are many low herbaceous plants growing on this island, including one called purslane, which is everywhere. This plant is also known as longevity vegetables, and the young leaves can be eaten directly. Most importantly, its juice also has an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect, which may help Lee Jung-yeon's injury.
Third, there were a few trickles of water bubbling down from the top of the mountain, and Zhu Youzhen tasted it, it was fresh water! It's so important that the water is drinkable, whether it has a source or just rain or dew. After all, coconuts are finite, and with fresh water, they can survive on the island for a long time.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen is not in a hurry to collect fresh water or purslane leaves now, anyway, he has to go down the mountain, and it will not be too late to get it then. In less than half an hour, he climbed to the top of the mountain and looked around.
From here, it is clear that they are located on an island deep in the ocean. The island is not very large, about seven miles long from east to west, and only three miles wide from north to south, and you can see it from the top of the mountain, but it looks like a sweet potato. A mountain range runs through the east and west of the island, and the northern slope is relatively gentle, and Zhu Youzhen came up from here; The south side is mostly cliffs, and looking down on the sea from the cliffs, it is almost a hundred feet, which makes people dizzy.
Looking around the island, I saw that in the four directions of east, west, north and south, there were some smaller ones, and there were seven of them, including the one at the foot, a total of eight, forming a small archipelago. In the distance, there is the vast sea, and the shadow of the continent is not visible at all.
Moreover, Zhu Youzhen observed for a long time, but did not see any signs of human activities, and there was no trace of ships on the sea. It seems that they have come to an uninhabited island!
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a sense of depression. originally thought that they would be rescued when they got to land, but now it seems that the two of them are still isolated and helpless, and they will be trapped on this island for the rest of their lives.
But when I think about it, since God didn't let himself be buried in the sea, it means that his life should not be extinguished. The wind and waves have come, can a small island lock itself forever?
Besides, he is not alone, and he is accompanied by Li Zhenyan! I want Robinson to be able to survive on a desert island alone until he finally returns to society. I am two people, is it not as good as him?
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen suddenly became proud and rushed down the mountain with longing.
