From tomorrow on, be a happy person; feed the horses, chop wood, and travel around the world;
From tomorrow on, I will care about food and vegetables; I have a house facing the sea, and the flowers are blooming in spring.
Haizi's dream has now become Zhu Pingan's life. Except for feeding horses and traveling around the world, the rest has become Zhu Pingan's current life. There is a cave facing the sea. The inside and outside of the cave are decorated with flowers and plants. A winding path is paved with cobblestones outside the cave, creating a mansion facing the sea. Now spring is also blooming.
Vegetables, wild fruits, fish and shrimps must be collected every day. In addition to the food for that day, Zhu Pingan, Li Shu and Hua'er also strung the surplus fish and shrimps with vines and hung them outside the cave to dry them into dried fish. and dried shrimps as food reserves.
Chopping firewood is also essential.
It has been three days on the island. Zhu Pingan and the other two have almost adapted to life on the island. While trying to adapt to life on the island, Zhu Pingan never gave up asking for help and rescuing himself.
Zhu Ping'an believed that there would definitely be search and rescue ships out there looking for the three of them. Even if the Marquis of Linhuai gave up, he believed that the Li Shu family and his own family would not give up. The Li family had enough financial strength to search and rescue them. At that time, Emperor Jiajing suspended the sea ban again, which just provided an opportunity.
If a ship comes to search and rescue, how can people notice this island? How can people know that the three of them are on this island? This is a homework that needs to be completed. The sea is vast and there are countless islands, and many of the islands are quite large. Even if there are hundreds of ships and hundreds of people scattered on the sea, searching for and rescuing the three of them is no better than finding a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, it is key to let outside search and rescue personnel pay attention to this island.
It is completely useless to put up SOS on the beach. If there is any GPS, Beidou or helicopter here, you can't see the boats outside.
In order to solve this problem, Zhu Ping'an thought of the ancient beacon tower. The beacon tower was an important medium in ancient times for alarming and transmitting military information. There is nothing on this island that can convey news better than a beacon fire.
Zhu Pingan built a beacon tower more than one meter high with stones in the open space outside the cave. Then a lot of firewood was stored, some of which were picked up by Li Shu and Baozi's maid, and some of which were chopped by Zhu Ping'an with a simple stone axe.
During the day, damp firewood and moist vines were piled into the beacon tower to generate thick black smoke; at night, drier firewood was piled into the beacon tower. Generates bright flames.
I believe that if there is a boat nearby and you look carefully, you can see the fireworks on this island no matter night or day.
In addition, Zhu Pingan also appointed Li Shu as the coach of Beacon Tower as a joke. The little maid Baozi was appointed the deputy commander of the Beacon Tower.
The little maid Baozi was excited, while Li Shu rolled her eyes disdainfully.
In addition to actively preparing for help, Zhu Ping'an also worked hard to save himself. Simply put, he was making a raft.
This is a little difficult. Zhu Ping'an's homemade stone ax is quite inferior, and it is very difficult to cut down trees. After knocking and inspecting the tree trunks he picked up on the island, Zhu Pingan found that they were too weak and would be quite dangerous if placed on the sea. Even though it would be much slower to cut down the trees yourself, safety comes first. Slow down, just slow down.
In Li Shu's eyes, there is still a lot of fun in such an island life.
When making fish soup by herself, Zhu Pingan would often help out, add fuel to the fire, and make jokes, such as the joke Zhu Pingan made the day before yesterday. Whenever Li Shu thought about it, she would laugh and blame her in her heart. The piano and boiling crane ruin the scenery.
When making fish soup the day before yesterday, Zhu Pingan had been looking at the pot in a daze. I even laughed at him so much that his eyeballs fell out of the pot. Then, he raised his head and looked at himself in a daze for a while, then made a joke. Li Shu still remembers the scene clearly:
"They are chatting in the pot. Didn't you hear it?" Zhu Pingan said, pointing to the tumbling fish soup in the pot.
"How can they talk..." He curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
"Listen, the fish in the pot says, 'I keep my eyes open all the time so that I can't bear to leave you.'" Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at himself and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about..." My heart was beating so fast at that time.
"The fish said, well, listen, the water also spoke. The water said to the fish, 'I flow tirelessly all day long just to surround you and pick you up properly.'"
When I heard Zhu Pingan looked at me and said this, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. My face turned red and I was so nervous that I was at a loss. I thought it was this piece of wood... Then when I heard this stinky toad talking about the pot, saying, "It's almost cooked and yet it's so stubborn," I really wanted to throw this stinky toad into the pot and stew it...
Idiot, wood! ! ! ! ! It’s really burning the harp and boiling the crane, which is a disgrace to the scenery!
However, it was quite interesting when I thought about it later.
In fact, during these few days on the island, there are many interesting things like this, many... For example, we went to the west of the island to catch birds, collect bird eggs, lobsters, and crabs with Stinky Toad.
The birds on this island are all stupid. Stinky Toad said it was because of the sea ban. There has been no one on this island for a long time. It must have been over a hundred years. No one hunts here, and there are no birds here. They have seen people, so they are not afraid of people at all, and it is easy to capture them.
There are many seabirds here, in groups, they can't even be counted, covering the sky, with black feathers and white heads. Fortunately, they don't look good, otherwise I wouldn't have the heart to eat them. But although seabirds don’t look good, they are very tasty...
Every time, the Stinky Toad would let himself and Hua'er stand aside with grass seeds in their hands to lure the birds, and then the Stinky Toad would quickly catch the birds. He would succeed three to five times out of ten times.
"Little bird, don't be weird, you are a dish in the world. Go early this year and come early next year."
He didn't dare to do anything, and it was always the smelly toad that dealt with it. Zhu Pingan would say this every time he dealt with the bird.
There are many seabirds and eggs here, which was discovered by the Stinky Toad. On the sunny beach, there are some protruding sand dunes. If you dig them out, you can pick up several eggs. If you pick half of the eggs from one nest, you can always get it. I picked up dozens of bird eggs.
When the water recedes, Zhu Ping'an will take himself and Hua'er to the beach to pick up crabs. The crabs here are very big, and sometimes lobsters can be found. The lobsters here are particularly fat. Once, he picked up a lobster It's as big as a duck.
...
Sometimes, I even think that it would be a happy thing for three people to live on such an island for a lifetime.
At certain times, looking at the beacon tower that was burning with smoke during the day and fire at night, Li Shu had the idea of destroying it several times...
Spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, I can’t bear to leave... (To be continued.)
