I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Chapter 5: A Cool Night on a Deserted Island

Looking at the blazing bonfire, Wen Liang seemed to have returned to human society at this moment.

He recalled the last time he saw a bonfire. It was when he traveled to the west and there was a grand party at night. People sang and danced enthusiastically, welcoming the tourists who came to play. The roasted lamb legs were delicious, and the milk tea that he was not used to at that time also made Wen Liang miss it a little...

Except for the fact that the money he spent was a little painful, everything else was fine. It was just that the bonfire in his memory was not as bright as it is now!

As the flames flickered, a small animal suddenly jumped out from behind the campfire. Wen Liang woke up with a start, rushed over and reached out to hold it down.

Feeling the struggle under his finger, Wen Liang smiled happily and raised his hand, only to see a crab struggling between his five fingers.

“I saw the first dish on the island’s cookbook!”

Before the sun sets, Wen Liang searches along the beach and soon finds two more. But when he finds the rocky beach, he realizes that there are more resources here!

Wen Liang couldn't wait to search every corner around the reef. Crabs would appear from time to time, and Wen Liang would throw them into the space when he caught them. Although the crabs would lose their lives as soon as they were put in, their freshness was locked at the moment they just died.

There are many small barnacles on the reef. If you hadn’t watched food variety shows, you would never have known them. Now they are a rare delicacy in the buffet.

Although barnacles are small in size, they are numerous!

People with trypophobia should not watch this, as the trees are all crowded together in clusters. Fortunately, Wen Liang does not have this problem.

You can just roast this thing over fire. When it starts sizzling, the barnacles are ready to eat.

Pinch the barnacle with your hands and twist it gently and it will open. The milky white color is its flesh, and the egg yolk-like substance is the barnacle paste, which is full of juice. No seasoning is needed. It will be the simplest and most delicious snack on the beach!

"Hey, second course!"

Barnacles attached to the reefs are not easy to collect, and Wen Liang will not barbecue them directly here. It is very dangerous to stay on the reef beach at night, so he can only rely on hard work to collect them.

I also picked up a few starfish in the middle. It seems that this thing can be eaten, but you can't eat too much. It is said that eating too much starfish will make you dizzy. Starfish are also relatively easy to cook. You can steam, boil or grill them directly.

"I've already prepared three dishes this afternoon, and they're all seafood. I have to make some adjustments!"

It was getting late, so Wen Liang did not stay any longer. He saw that there were still many octopuses and sea fish, so he decided to catch them later as the visibility was beginning to fade.

Returning to the campfire, he added a few more pieces of wood to the fire. This was a big tree that had been blown down a long time ago. The trunk was dry, with only the surface wet. Wen Liang chopped it in half and brought it back for burning.

After making a bonfire and watching the sky gradually darken, I walked under the coconut tree and picked up three green coconuts.

Sitting down by the campfire, Wen Liang felt a cool breeze from the sea.

The wind on the island is strong and the temperature will drop significantly at night.

Wen Liang regretted having rashly gone hiking first. If he had found a place to shelter from the wind during the day, he would have been much more comfortable at night.

Wen Liang remembered the 333 rule that he had seen somewhere:

A man will die if he starves for three weeks;

A person who is thirsty for three days will die;

A person will die if he suffers from hypothermia for three hours.

"Maybe we should find a shelter first... Okay, let's do it tomorrow!"

Talking to himself, Wen Liang lit the campfire and then began to cook dinner.

Coconut is a good thing. It can provide the water needed by the human body. It also contains sodium, potassium and vitamin C, which can supplement the trace elements needed by the human body.

But you can't drink too much, as it can cause diarrhea.

"Three is okay, it won't cause diarrhea~" Wen Liang took the axe and cut the outer coconut shell to expose the inner part, then tapped the coconut with the tip of the axe and quickly made a hole.

After taking a sip, Wen Liang closed his eyes unconsciously, and his slightly dry lips and mouth were fully moisturized.

At this moment, Chuck's figure appeared in my mind again. In the movie, he racked his brains to drink a sip of coconut juice and almost went crazy...

"Hey, isn't it bad to always think about a man? I'm not a pervert."

After drinking, Wen Liang opened the other two and put them aside, took out the jar used for instant noodles, found a wooden stick to put on the campfire, and poured the juice from the two coconuts into it.

Take out the crab, carefully remove its legs, and throw it into the pot to cook.

The pot was not big, and the crabs were not big either, so I had to boil them twice to finish them.

“First dish, crab with coconut milk~”

Wen Liang was enjoying himself. He used to eat steamed crabs, but now he even indulged himself by eating crabs boiled in coconut milk.

Put the cooked crabs into the storage space while they are still hot, take out the starfish, simply scrape the surface with a fruit knife and throw it into the crab boiling tank.

Coconut milk has a bottom, so the jar must be dried before it is finished cooking.

Wen Liang was reluctant to damage the jar, so he took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight and walked towards the coconut tree. He remembered that there were a lot of fallen coconuts not far away.

I thought I wouldn’t need that much, but I didn’t expect that I still lacked life experience.

This time, Wen Liang directly collected all the coconuts within the range of the flashlight into the storage space. There were not many, just seventeen or eighteen!

Stewed starfish in coconut milk!

If he wasn’t hungry, Wen Liang really didn’t want to eat this dark dish.

When the starfish shell is cooked until hard, Wen Liang takes it out and sets it aside, ready to eat.

Break open each corner, pull out the seeds inside, and swallow them with the bread.

The taste is a bit like fish roe, but the grains are larger. But in this situation, it is good to have something to eat, so Wen Liang is not picky and eats it all.

The last dish is grilled barnacles, which are the most tender and Wen Liang thinks are even better than crabs!

After eating all this, he was only half full, but Wen Liang was already very satisfied. He thought about Chuck who was probably still sleeping with an empty stomach...

"Damn it, why do I keep thinking about this guy... Is there something wrong with me?!"

He took out two pieces of clothing and spread them next to the campfire. Wen Liang then added firewood to the fire and lay down beside it.

After a day of tension, I finally relaxed and fell asleep immediately even though my whole body was sore.

Even the crashing of waves, the whistling of the sea breeze, or the rustling of trees on the shore did not disturb Wen Liang from his deep sleep.

It was not until the second half of the night when the bonfire went out that Wen Liang was awakened.

"Fuck me!"

Wen Liang looked at the bonfire which still had the remaining scarlet heat and cursed, "How did it go out?"

It was still dark outside and the woods were shrouded in darkness. The sound of the waves reminded Wen Liang where he was.

Wen Liang was terrified when he saw the dark area deep inside the island. He tightened his clothes and said to himself, "Forget it, let's just wait until dawn..."

In a daze, Wen Liang didn't know how long he had waited. Finally, the sun emerged from below the sea level. The golden glow suddenly filled the sky and the earth, and the whole world seemed to come alive!

"Ah!"

Wen Liang sneezed, "This damn sea breeze, I must not catch a cold..."

Without caring about anything else, Wen Liang took out the bowl of porridge he had drawn yesterday, which was still steaming hot, and drank it down with a "slurp".

"Ding! Got a white porcelain bowl!" Wen Liang held the bowl and made a sound himself, trying to make the best of a difficult situation.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Wen Liang felt warm all over. "No, we must find a shelter. If we stay here all night, we will definitely catch a cold and have a fever!"

You also need to prepare enough dry firewood and pick up more coconuts. It’s hard to pick coconuts from trees, so pick those on the ground first...

"By the way, where are the clothes and shoes I hung out to dry yesterday?"

Wen Liang walked to the place he remembered and saw that the rope was still tied to the tree, his clothes were blown away, but his shoes were still not far away.

After picking up the shoes, Wen Liang sat down to take a break and opened today's blind box delivery.

A glimmer of light flashed, and the delivery box disappeared, leaving behind a box, a 10-inch fast food box.

“Julie’s weird pizza!”

Wen Liang thought about the conversation between the people on the plane and couldn't help thinking, "Could this be the terrible pizza they were talking about?"

But it’s okay, it’s a big box of pizza. No matter how bad it tastes, it’s still food!

Cheering up, Wen Liang began to think about how to build a shelter.
