I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Chapter 9 As Long as You Live

When Wen Liang opened his eyes again, the sky had already cleared up.

The storm has passed, and the beach is now a mess again.

After untying the vines that bound him, Wen Liang slid down from the coconut tree.

"hiss……"

At this moment, Wen Liang felt sore all over, as if he was back to the moment when he first arrived on the island.

As far as the eye could see, there was no trace of the shelter anymore, only a beam remained stubbornly there.

“It’s perfect for drying clothes!”

At this moment, Wen Liang no longer had the madness and despair he had before, and for some reason his mentality was surprisingly good.

He took off his clothes, wrung out the water, and hung them on the horizontal bar that was originally the roof beam.

"What's the point of having a bicycle? Just be alive!"

"Open the blind box!"

Chuck's English reading and writing skills

“What a cute little thing~”

Wen Liang suddenly took out a book and said, "I want to see if I can get full marks in English 53 now!"

As he said that, Wen Liang ignored everything and sat down to read a book!

An hour later, Wen Liang threw away the book and said, "I finally understand that people who can speak English may not necessarily get high scores in English exams, just like people who can speak Chinese may not necessarily get high scores in Chinese exams!"

The trauma brought by a storm was ended by a book called Yibenwusan.

Is there anything more difficult than this?

No!

So don't get discouraged, everything will be fine!

The biggest loss that the storm brought to Wen Liang was the loss of his shelter. Everything else, like food and drinks, was in the storage space.

This is also a habit that Wen Liang has developed. In an unfamiliar environment, he carries everything with him. This makes him feel at ease, just in case.

If I could fill up the storage space at the beginning, I would not be troubled by food and drink even if I was stranded on a desert island.

"Now build another shelter!"

The materials are readily available and there is plenty of storage space.

However, when preparing to start construction, Wen Liang was a little hesitant. If he still built it by the sea, it would inevitably be destroyed after the next storm, and then he would have to rebuild it.

Wen Liang doesn't want to experience facing the storm again. He is unyielding, but he doesn't want to be tortured.

Most of the island has been explored. Although no suitable caves have been found, there are several places like pergolas that can be expanded into houses.

Moreover, it is in the center of the island, which can effectively avoid the invasion of storms.

The only problem is that there are large animals in the center of the island, and I am not sure what kind of animals they are. If they are carnivorous, that would be terrible.

However, Wen Liang hasn't met her in the past month. Maybe it's luck, or maybe it's because he chose to live far away from the beach.

But if you live there, there is a high chance that you will encounter it.

"We need to build the shelter first. This is the most important thing! Even if there are large animals on an island like this, they can't be lions or tigers..."

Wen Liang made a decision and decided to go to the stone cliff on the island to take a look. If possible, he wanted to build a wooden house directly.

A real wooden house is no longer a shed made of palm leaves and branches. In that case, with its back against the cliff and the thick wood, it should be able to withstand medium-sized animals, right?

The axe and hammer in his hands were badly worn, but these were Wen Liang's only tools for self-defense and clearing the way, and he used them with great care.

Half an hour later, Wen Liang passed through the woods and came to the foot of another high mountain. Here was a small valley surrounded by two mountains.

There is a collapsed mountain wall inside the valley, and no one knows how it was formed, as if it had been bombed by a cannonball.

A sunken "stone cave" facing inwards, but the opening is too large and not deep inside, like a natural sunshade pavilion.

The ground was not smooth, and was covered with dry branches and fallen leaves. In some places there was a thick layer of leaves, while in other places the stone platforms were exposed.

Wen Liang did not walk in rashly, but instead stretched the burning stick inside, exploring up and down and left and right.

You should not enter wild caves or even just crevices in rocks easily. You must do a careful oxygen test, otherwise it will be easy to get in but difficult to get out!

After making sure that he had explored all around and that it was safe, Wen Liang walked inside. This stone wall was recessed about two or three meters in depth, and the entire inner wall formed an arc shape.

I looked up outside. The trees were sparse and the sunlight could shine directly in, but the sunshine time should not be long. It was around nine o'clock now, just the right time to see the sunlight.

But it’s about four o’clock in the afternoon and it’s probably going to be dark here.

After all, it is in the valley.

Wen Liang walked around a few times and found no large animal footprints or feces. He nodded and confirmed that it was good here.

Roll up your sleeves and work hard to officially start building the wooden house.

With a month of construction experience, Wen Liang began to polish the collected wood in an orderly manner.

Spend half a day doing carpentry work, half a day collecting food and boiling water, and at night spread some hay mats as beds and light a bonfire outside.

After seven or eight days of hard work, the wooden house finally took shape.

Wen Liang built a fence entirely out of wood, the kind that was airtight, "covering" the entire hole.

There are no windows, only a heavy wooden door for entry and exit, and a bolt. If you don't use a rolling log to reduce friction, it would be difficult to open it with your bare hands.

I think there will be no problem dealing with the animals on the island in this way. Except for elephants, I guess no other animal can open this door!

After taking a day off as a reward for building the house, Wen Liang continued to clean up the area around the residence.

I used a broom made of tree branches to clean up the leaves around me, and then used the picked up sticks and branches to build a fence to enclose a 100-square-meter yard.

With both inside and outside, it really looks like a home!

Because building a house is very labor-intensive, Wen Liang eats more and the food storage capacity has reached the limit.

In the following days, Wen Liang focused on finding food.

The ripe grapes have almost been picked, and the rest are up high. Wen Liang will not climb up to compete with the birds and monkeys for food.

There are many banana trees, and although they are also a source of food for monkeys, monkeys are not particularly protective of them, so Wen Liang stored a lot of wild bananas.

The wild bananas here are big, but the seeds are also big. Although they are sweet, the taste is not very good. If it weren't for the purpose of satisfying hunger, Wen Liang would not be willing to eat much.

There is also durian, which is high in calories and a good thing for replenishing energy, but its taste is also unpleasant.

Because of the food shortage, Wen Liang had no choice but to eat it for a long time. It seemed that he got used to it and found that it was quite delicious...

"Am I also smelly?" Wen Liang shook his head and smiled, then ate the durian flesh in his hand in one bite.

It’s good enough to have something to eat, why be so picky?

In addition to the fruits he grows himself, Wen Liang has not forgotten his original intention and continues to fish at the seaside.

Octopus, oysters, clams, crabs, shellfish, kelp, various marine fish, etc. are all delicacies on Wenliang’s menu.

On another beach, Wen Liang also picked up turtle eggs and ate them as chicken eggs. It seemed that the taste was similar.

Wen Liang had hunted pheasants on the island and even killed a deer with a wooden spear, but he could never catch a hare.

After such a long time, Wen Liang still didn't find any trace of large carnivores. The largest animals were deer and goats.

In addition to obtaining food from the wild, Wen Liang also cleared a piece of land near where he discovered the "mountain spring" and burned trees to use the ash as fertilizer.

He used a wooden "hoe" to loosen the soil, sowed rice, and carefully fenced off the land with branches to prevent it from being eaten by pheasants and rabbits.

But if I think about it, since the rice ears are not eaten while they are growing, they should not be eaten after being buried underground, right?

As for whether rice can work, Wen Liang is not sure, so he will try his best. It doesn't matter if he can't figure it out, if it grows, it will be pure profit!

Day 60 of island survival!
