Chapter 23 Catching Fish

After this long view, Quan Hao had a comprehensive understanding of the local geography. Next, it was time for him to decide where his base camp was. The Southern Peninsula and the Northern Peninsula each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Fortunately, the Southern Peninsula has sufficient freshwater resources, which is conducive to concealment and abundant plant resources. The disadvantage is that there may be dangers in the jungle. He once encountered a snake while exploring the road. Because it was a narrow road, the two of them confronted each other for a while. It ended with the snake's turn and leave. But Quan Hao was also worried because he didn't know if it was a poisonous snake. The Northern Peninsula had everything, with a wide view and closer to the time and space gate. The disadvantage was that there was a lack of shelter, and there was no place to hide if it was a storm. This is tropical again, and there would definitely be no fewer windy and rainy days.

In the end, Quan Hao decided to live in the North Peninsula. It was nothing else, just because he was closer to the Time and Space Gate, which made him feel at ease. In fact, he also knew that the most suitable location on this island was near the southernmost estuary. There was fresh water and seafood there, and it was not far from the woods and had a wide view at the same time, which simply brought together all the advantages of the North and South Peninsula. The only disadvantage was that it was too far away, not only from the Time and Space Gate, but also too far away from his location. It would take at least a day to walk through the land. It would be better to understand the traveling rules of the Time and Space Gate and go to explore when you can enter and exit the world freely.

After deciding the location of the base camp, Quan Hao continued to be busy. He had too many things to carry. Banana leaves and firewood were all supplies he urgently needed. In addition, Quan Hao also wanted to cut down a few strong and straight branches to see if he could build a shed and get rid of the dilemma of Mutianxi. Or he could build a raft to travel between the time and space gate and the coast. The previous method of wading was still unsafe.

No matter how much you think, you can only do it step by step. The most urgent thing at present is firewood. Yesterday and this morning, the leaves and coconut shells were almost burned. Even if you can survive tonight, smoke will inevitably be broken tomorrow morning. Although there are many trees here, they may not all be used as firewood. The amount of wood should be sufficient and the moisture should be less. In the end, Quan Hao found a pine tree that was about to die, broke the two big branches, and felt the amount was appropriate. He then dispose of all the Yaya forks on the top. The two big branches, which were more than three meters long, were separated by a meter by cable tied to the waist, tied the thick end, and put the rope in the middle to the chest. He could easily drag it to walk.

The sun on the island is super vicious. Fortunately, the cool sea breeze often blows on the face, which is not difficult to bear even hot. What we need to worry more is the sunburn. Quan Hao wrapped a straw hat with a banana leaf on his head and wore a few around his body. In short, try not to expose his skin to the outside. Even so, his hands were still purple-red.

The kettle I thought I didn't need came in handy. It was filled with fresh water from the stream. Quan Hao found more than one kind of fish in the stream, so the stream water was drinkable. The water was cool and sweet, refreshing. Drinking a sip when the mouth was dry in the hot summer can relieve heat and fatigue. It's really great.

If he had met the Time and Space Gate, Quan Hao would never have thought that one day he would walk three kilometers of roads under the scorching sun for two firewood, and his shoulders were red with ropes. But he didn't feel tired at all. He was still intrigued by playing the live-action version of the Island Tycoon. It was just that he had too few tools, and the primitive man was really not that easy to be a man.

Back at the camping site, Quan Hao unloaded all the items on his body as quickly as possible, almost rushed to the beach, and plunged into the sea. Finally it became cooler.

After swimming for a quarter of an hour, he stood up from the sea. He went back to put on his shirt, took a javelin and prepared to fish. The dinner should be richer no matter what. After eating two turtle eggs in a row, he was really enough. He could only taste this thing occasionally, and eating too much smell would be disgusting.

He kept walking into the sea until the sea water was over his waist, and Quan Hao stopped. He raised the javelin in his hand, and whenever a fish swam past him, he stabbed it hard. The fish here were very vigilant because they had never been caught. If you don't move, they won't feel dangerous.

The first one to be attacked was a pomfret with a round belly. It was stupid and kept wandering around Quan Hao. It never felt that its body was round and targeted, and it was the perfect target to attack. When the tip of the gun passed by, it was startled and quickly shook its tail and ran away. However, this gun didn't even touch its scales, and I don't know how it would understand this thrilling scene in the future "fish life". Then a fish with a slender body was caught in the seedlings. Quan Hao couldn't name it, and it looked like a mackerel.

Similarly, the body is flat and narrow, not a good prey that can be easily obtained. Sure enough, the gun that was stabbed further away, and the fish did not realize that it was him who was attacked. He just noticed something was happening nearby and accelerated to leave. Next, Quan Hao targeted a yellow croaker again. This time he finally injured it, and the tip of the gun passed through the scales behind its gill, but it still escaped and only dropped a few fish scales. The first three attacks ended in failure, and the refraction of the sea water made him judge the wrong position of the fish. But at least he was improving.

Quan Hao encouraged himself to calm down and continue to stare at the sea without moving. Several other fish swam past him, but he did not attack. These fish were either strange in shape or bright in color, and he was not sure whether they were poisonous. Quan Hao did not dare to take risks with his body, so he only chose the fish he knew as his target.

A fish, which was black and more than one foot long, swam leisurely. It was completely unaware that it had entered the hunting ground set up by the hunter. Quan Hao raised his gun and stabbed it hard, and then raised it. The big fish struggled to be lifted up to the water surface. The black snapper was pierced through the back, and the tip of the gun was penetrated from its side abdomen, and its head was dyed red. Even though it left the water, it twisted its injured body and slapped its tail hard. It was obviously not willing to die. Its mouth opened and closed, revealing its sharp teeth inside. The already ugly face was fierce. With the blade-like dorsal fins, it looked really murderous.

Because the fish struggled very hard, Quan Hao had to hold the handle of the gun in one hand and the back of the snapper in the other hand and walk towards the shore. The fish was at least five kilograms, which was enough for his dinner. Quan Hao was not greedy for too much, and he could not store it. In the hot summer, the food placed in the open air will soon rot.
