The sound of "crashing" waves kept echoing.

Xie Yu couldn't help but muttered, as if in a dream, but the cold wind whizzing around his neck made Xie Yu feel something was wrong.

"This is……."

With squinted eyes, Xie Yu seemed to have seen something incredible, and his consciousness seemed to be clearer.

"Gravel beach..."

"The sea breeze is full of the fishy smell of the sea..."

"And this blue sky."

He looked at his hands wearing worn-out labor protection gloves and some greasy work clothes.

"And the sun, it should be noon. I should be in the factory at this time..."

"Why am I sleeping here? Even if I take a lunch break, I should be in the lounge."

"No...no..."

He shook his head.

"I just stepped in for another leader and was fired. Although I was a little depressed, I got compensation."

"Hey, is that a dream? I haven't been fired yet."

"It's just that, obviously..."

Xie Yu's memory was a little confused and he was in a depressed mood.

"Crunch, crunch..." I walked around the gravel beach for a while.

As they walked, Xie Yu noticed something was wrong.

Looking at a few tall coconut trees, Xie Yu's expression changed and he said secretly: "Qindao is in the north. Unless it is in some tropical botanical garden, it is impossible to plant coconut trees on this beach, right?"

"Otherwise, in winter, it will be destroyed by the freeze, and even if it is planted, it will not grow so tall."

Looking at the green coconuts on the tall coconut trees, I couldn't help but complain: "Could it be that I have arrived at Hainan Island?"

"It's just that the great god made a joke to me again and tied me from Qindao Island in the north to Hainan Island."

"Did you kidnap the wrong person? With my worth, I guess..."

Shaking his head, he put this strange thought to the back of his mind, because the further he walked, the more Xie Yu felt something was wrong.

The beach is in the shape of an arc. At first Xie Yu thought it was a protruding peninsula on the beach. After all, he had lived on Qindao for many years. Although he was not a local aborigine, he had some understanding of the coastal conditions.

But when he walked around the deserted beach in one direction and returned to the original starting point, Xie Yu knew that he was in trouble.

"I didn't expect that I was actually on a desert island. It was that big guy who was so determined to kidnap me, a nobody, and exiled me to this desert island with an unknown name."

Unwilling to be reconciled, Xie Yu looked towards the stony highland in the middle of the desert island, climbed up without hesitation, climbed up and looked into the distance, hoping...

After climbing over several dangerously steep rocks eroded by the sea wind, Xie Yu finally climbed to the top of the stone.

Now the sky is thousands of miles clear, the sky is blue and the sea is vast, and the occasional white clouds provide Xie Yu with the best view.

Or it may be due to years of hard work. Although he has gained some weight, Xie Yu's physical fitness is still good.

Block the sunlight between your brows with one hand. According to scientists, the longest distance visible to the human eye without using any tools is four kilometers.

Xie Yu is now at a high place on the island, with an excellent field of vision. He is not nearsighted and can see clearly.

But after a long time, Xie Yu, who was still looking forward to it, his expression darkened.

Wherever the naked eye could see, except for the sea, it was still the sea, and no possible islands, reefs or land could be seen.

This made Xie Yu, who had a good temper, also curse.

It's true that hemp ropes only break at the thinnest points, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable.

After scolding for a while, Xie Yu, who had been hit by fate many times, immediately adjusted himself after Ah Q said it.

Otherwise, what else could be done? Xie Yu, who has been wandering on Qindao to survive since he was thirteen years old, has seen too many dangers in the world.

Although there are good people, they are certainly scarce.

After calming down, Xie Yu slowly stood up and looked around the island. People must learn to accept reality. There is no worst, only worse.

Thinking about some desert island survival documentaries seen on TV, Xie Yu groped for anything he could use. Naturally, the keys to his mobile phone and wallet were gone. It looked like they had been taken away.

However, in the lining pocket there were a few one and five dollar bills and a supermarket shopping receipt.

By the way, there are holes in the pockets, and inside the corner of the clothes I found an alloy dime and a copper nickel. They are metal and must be useful.

"Water, food, fire, shelter."

Water and seawater are definitely not drinkable directly. If you want to get fresh water from seawater, you have to find a way to make fire and distill it. This requires fire and some tools.

After a while, go to the deserted beach for a walk to see if you can find some marine garbage and make a tool for steam fractionation of water.

Xie Yu was a laborer and asked himself whether he could still do manual work.

Food, this is an island. Although it is very wild, it is a wilderness. There should be no shortage of seafood here, right?

A fire, this one has a source of fire first. Thinking of the gift lighters at home, Xie Yu felt a pity in his heart.

It's a pity that it's too late. The reality is that in the sea breeze, what kind of moist trees are there to make a fire? That’s enough!

As for the shelter, this one should be the easiest. When climbing up, Xie Yu saw a protruding boulder. As long as he piled stones in two directions, Xie Yu could get a good shelter. Temporary shelter.

But now, Xie Yu carefully climbed down from the height and came to the foot of the tall coconut tree first.

First I picked up a coconut on the ground.

"So light?"

After shaking it, there was no moisture, so I threw it away and replaced it with another one. It wasn’t until the fourth month that I felt there was water inside.

At this time, Xie Yu hid in the shade under the coconut tree. When he brought it down, he found a sharp stone piece. After choosing a seat on the coconut, he pulled it up.

Not long after, a small opening opened.

At this point, Xie Yu, who didn't want to waste any water, did not continue but followed the small mouth and dripped it into his mouth bit by bit.

"It's so sweet..."

Although a coconut doesn't have much water, Xie Yu is already very satisfied.

At this time, he took out a big stone and smashed the coconut open. Xie Yu began to eat the pulp inside.

After eating, Xie Yu took advantage of the good weather and began to look for useful things on the wilderness beach.

After searching for a long time, strangely enough, I couldn't find any civilized garbage in this deserted beach.

This made Xie Yu even more disappointed. You must know that in this era of serious ocean pollution, there is no marine garbage, which means that he may be far away from the mainland.

This means that since this place is far away from the civilized world, the possibility of rescue is even smaller.

Thinking that I might be like the protagonist in Robinson Crusoe, staying on a desert island for a few years or a lifetime, I couldn't help but tremble.

No, I am not as good as Robinson Crusoe. At least he was able to pick up half of the ship's equipment if he encountered a shipwreck.

As for myself, the few dimes and coins at the beginning, coupled with the environment here, will definitely kill people!

Xie Yu, who was already at a loss, immediately fell to the ground.

Mr. Bei is not in a bad situation either. After all, he started with a knife, and the location was specially chosen for the effect of the show.

Wait, what is that.

Xie Yu, who had good eyesight, saw something black and white shaking on the edge of the reef not far from him.

Some couldn't help but get curious, so they got up and took a closer look.

"This, this... seems to be a shrimp, no, it's a prawn, a huge prawn."

Without hesitation, Xie Yu reached out and grabbed it. It was quite heavy.

But he was still picked up by Xie Yu, who was very strong.

Looking at this guy with teeth and claws, and the tentacles were almost one meter long, Xie Yu couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

"This is a big lobster. It looks so good. It must be of some kind. If it were in a seafood supermarket, this guy could pay for two months of my salary. No, maybe more."

The appearance of this big lobster could not help but give Xie Yu more confidence in his future survival.

Perhaps it is the absence of marine debris and the lack of human presence here that allow such large lobsters to exist.

This head may be older than Xie Yu.

However, now at home, Xie Yu would not hesitate to choose garlic steamed food, just here!

Because he had never done it before, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the sky, and Xie Yu had an idea.

After peeling it off with gravel chips. At least seven or eight kilograms of shrimp meat was obtained, which made Xie Yu even more happy.

Then, after filling it with coconut flakes, Xie Yu sliced ​​it into as many pieces as possible, placed it on a stone, and used the heat of the sun to make shrimp crackers.

With food, Xie Yu, who is a rice cook, also has motivation.

Work.

When the clayey sand and soil of the reef were mixed with various pieces of stone, Xie Yu began to build a wind-proof wall at the selected stone.

Xie Yu is busy with the sun and coconuts.

Although he didn't have much knowledge about desert island survival in his mind, Xie Yu still knew a little about the unpredictable climate of the sea. It was too late to make a fire now.

But if there is a shelter from the wind, it will undoubtedly be much easier tonight. The temperature of the island at night is conceivable without testing.

With the blessing of coconuts, and the fact that there is no shortage of stone and sand on this desert island, when the sun goes down, Xie Yu builds about two wind-proof walls under the pick-up stone.

Why is it approximate? Because after the sun sets on the desert island, it gets dark much faster than Xie Yu expected because there are no stars.

As a last resort, Xie Yu did not continue to improve, but quickly collected the mostly dried shrimp crackers, picked up some coconuts that had fallen on the ground, and spread them casually under the picking stone.

By this time it was completely dark and his limbs were not visible.

Only the stronger sea breeze was blowing hard, and I ate two bites of shrimp crackers.

He sighed secretly: "I have to work harder tomorrow to seal the door."

Then he twisted his body, imitating Master De, and climbed on the coconut leaves, so as to protect his core temperature.

It was just that I was not used to crawling to sleep and felt uncomfortable, but the exhaustion of the day still made Xie Yu fall asleep quickly.

However, I don't know why in the darkness, tears flowed out of the corners of Xie Yu's eyes involuntarily.

The sun rises the next day!

Tick, tick!

It was so cold. Although Xie Yu fell asleep due to yesterday's exhaustion, the sea breeze changed direction from time to time and the sound was intermittent.

Coupled with the sharp drop in temperature in the second half of the night, Xie Yu's sleep quality was still very poor.

"This is……."

He touched the wet coolness on the back of his head, and the dull pain on Xie Yu's cheeks that had been sunburned by the sun yesterday because of the wetness.

Until ten o'clock in the morning, Xie Yu was very dissatisfied when he slept well because the sea breeze weakened.

I was about to curse, but after opening my eyes, I realized the situation I was in, hoping to save some energy.

Those dirty words did not come from Xie Yu's mouth.

Wait, he stuck out his tongue and tasted the moisture at the corner of his mouth. Xie Yu seemed to realize something and opened his eyes suddenly.

Turning his head upward, he soon saw a water mark on the stone on his forehead from top to bottom, right at the lowest point of the stone.

Regardless of the principle, Xie Yu quickly tried to use a coconut shell as a bowl to take over.

It's just that this is just a collection of water marks. It's difficult to see the water droplets flowing into the coconut shell.

Xie Yu was very anxious. This is water. It is precious water. It cannot be wasted. To waste it here is to be irresponsible for your own life.

Thinking of this, Xie Yulai sorted out the materials at hand.

Soon Xie Yu had an idea. He first found a few soft and fresh coconut branches and woven them into a rope shape.

Then, fix the two ends of the coconut rope on the top of the windshield on both sides of the pick stone.

This ensures that the entire coconut rope can touch the water marks on the picked stones.

Finally, Xie Yu fixed a stone wrapped in coconut leaves as a weight at the lower part of the coconut rope, so that all the water on the water marks would collect on the coconut rope, and then form water droplets and drip into the coconut shell under the stone weight.

Looking at the water droplets gathering in the coconut shell, Xie Yu couldn't help but feel proud.

As for the principle of this, Xie Yu couldn't help but recall a TV series he had seen before.

The male protagonist leads an army into a desert area and cannot advance or retreat because there is no water source.

At this time, the actor found a place with relatively watery plants in the desert, built a shelf, hung the iron sword in his hand on the shelf, and placed a porcelain bowl under the iron sword.

After a night, when the soldiers woke up in the morning, there was already a bowl of clean water in the bowl.

Although I didn’t understand the details originally, the situation at this time was similar. It seems that the TV series was not all a lie.

It would be great if I had the opportunity to enter the entertainment industry and make movies and TV series, not for those pretty girls (don’t believe it), but just to promote culture and popularize science.

With this nonsense thought, Xie Yu stretched himself and walked through the stone space.

Xie Yu could already feel that his mouth smelled bad, either because he took a breath of air or because he didn't have a chance to brush his teeth and wash his face yesterday.

It’s just that days like this may become normal in the future, so you have to adapt!

Ah Q talked about it again. Xie Yu knew that he couldn't be lazy and had to take advantage of it. At this time, it was serious to seize the time to work.

Take advantage of the fact that your condition is last and move quickly, just in case...

"No, just in case..."

As if thinking of something terrible, Xie Yu immediately got busy.

First, we continued to completely pick out the wind walls on both sides of the stone, and then we started to complete the wind walls at the entrance and exit.

It's just that this entrance and exit is the highest point of the stone pick. In order to prevent the wind barrier from collapsing, Xie Yu can only make it wider. However, doing so consumes Xie Yu even more energy.

Fortunately, while picking through the clear water flowing out of the coconut rope under the stone and collecting materials, I found a coconut crab weighing at least five or six pounds, which gave Xie Yu a lot of encouragement.
