Deserted Island Survival Notes

Chapter 28

Ye Zheng duan carved the last stroke of the word "正" on the tree with a stone. She counted the words "正" on the tree trunk. Now there are forty characters, that is Said she had spent two hundred days here.

Ye Zheng compared the height mark left on the tree again. It was already about seven or eight centimeters taller than before. While she was gesturing, she looked at her forearm, which had turned from white to light wheat color. After all, the sea breeze was blowing all the time. Even if she remembered to wear a straw hat she knitted when she went out, it was still inevitable. The ground was sunburned too much. As for Ye Zheng himself, he felt that the flesh on his body was much firmer and his strength had increased a lot.

However, Ye Zheng is quite satisfied with this change. She feels that after so many days, her physical fitness is better, her skills are more flexible, and she is stronger, which is always better for her now.

Ye Zheng's eyes fell on another high line next to his height scale.

Ever since he discovered that the mermaid grew very fast, Ye Zheng would always bring it over to record his height after measuring his own height.

The growth of the mermaid is not comparable to that of Ye Zheng. Now it is almost two meters tall. It looks like an adult fish, majestic and majestic. It also likes to make a lot of noise near the water.

For example, now, Ye Zheng could hear the sound of it tossing and splashing in the water from a distance, as if something big was fighting with the mermaid there.

Ye Zheng sighed, looked at the sun that had not set below the sea level, and walked back slowly.

She heard a high-pitched voice coming from far away, it was the mermaid howling in the sea. Ever since it was able to vocalize smoothly, the mermaid liked to use its voice to let Ye Zheng know its emotions. As days passed, it was able to produce the voice it wanted more and more smoothly.

Ye Zheng could tell at this moment that the mermaid was very excited and urgently calling her to go to the beach to find her.

When Ye Zheng walked to the beach, she discovered the reason for the mermaid's excitement. When she came, she probably guessed something: the mermaid brought back another walrus.

Said to be a walrus, that was also the name Ye Zheng gave to the creature. This kind of walrus has a pair of sharp tusks that are more than one meter long. Its body is round and bulky, and only four short round fins allow it to swim in the water. Different from the walruses that Ye Zheng had seen in modern society, this kind of walrus has a pig-like nose, its fur is light green, and its body is extremely large, a whole circle fatter than an adult fish.

But it is a pity that Ye Zheng has not seen a living walrus yet. The walruses she can see so far are all killed by mermaids and dragged all the way from the sea. When I got it, all the blood in my body was drained.

The first time Ye Zheng saw this creature was when she had her menstrual period again. After the mermaid noticed that she was bleeding again, she swung her tail anxiously, turned around twice on the ground, and then disappeared. The next night, Ye Zheng found that the mermaid had dragged a big guy up to give it to her.

The wet fur on this big guy is so thick that it looks like it can keep out the cold. Comparing it with the warm island where Ye Zheng lives now, it is not difficult for Ye Zheng to think of how far the mermaid must have swam to bring such an unusually bulky thing with him. Back.

But to Ye Zheng's surprise, this fleshy-looking creature was not mermaid food. After peeling off the skin for Ye Zheng, the mermaid chopped the meat into pieces and gave them to Ye Zheng. When Ye Zheng tried to feed it, it refused the meat strips that were fed to its mouth.

In front of Ye Zheng, the mermaid's nature of not turning around is clearly displayed. If it wants something, it wants it, and if it doesn't want it, it doesn't want it. As a foodie, it actually refuses the meat placed in its mouth, which shows that the mermaid is really not interested in this kind of large elephant. It was entirely to make Ye Zheng happy that it went all the way to get the walrus back. Ye Zheng felt that a clumsy creature like a walrus really didn't fit in with the big fish's usual aesthetics. She could only guess that maybe in the eyes of the mermaid, as long as it was a rare thing, it would please the female.

Ye Zheng did not force it. She was even more surprised by the walrus skin that had been abandoned by the mermaid. She washed the skin with sea salt and dried it in the sun. It became a very good sleeping cover. The remaining bits were The hair was shaved off by Ye Zheng and made into two pairs of underwear.

Ye Zheng happily looked at another fat walrus dragged up by the mermaid, and went over to touch the walrus's skin. Maybe he realized that Ye Zheng didn't want the hair on the walrus skin. The hair the mermaid dragged back was only green, and there were no specks of white hair on the skin.

The mermaid shouted at Ye Zheng. The sound was different from the distant sound just now. It was softer and more tender, as if she was asking for credit from Ye Zheng.

"Okay, I know you are the best," Ye Zheng said with a smile on his face, reaching out to rub the mermaid's head, and the mermaid flicked its tail and splashed the sea water all over her.

"Okay," Ye Zheng raised his hand with a wry smile, showing weakness to the mermaid, "I know I came late and made you wait impatiently." The mermaid looked up at her for a while, then stretched out his paw to hold

Ye Zheng's hand. Using their hands, the two of them pulled the big elephant ashore together.

In order to keep the stone nest clean, Ye Zheng strictly prohibited the mermaids from handling the food brought back near the stone nest. They stopped about ten meters away from the stone nest. The mermaid carefully used her nails to make an opening on the walrus's coat, then took out a large piece of meat and handed it to Ye Zheng.

It barked softly, and Ye Zheng nodded knowingly: "Okay, you take care of it first. I'll put the meat on the fire to roast it now, okay." The mermaid barked softly again and patted its tail

. , Ye Zheng then held the piece of meat and walked towards the fire pit which was burning more and more fiercely.

Ye Zheng used a bone knife to carefully remove the fat and blood streaks attached to the meat, and then washed it with the stored fresh water. Then he cut the meat into small pieces, skewered the pieces with sharpened branches, and put them on the fire. bake.

The meat was cut into half-finger-width pieces, and soon it made a "sizzling" sound under the licking of the flames, and the aroma of the barbecue gradually dissipated. The scent floated far away, and Ye Zheng heard the mermaid who was handling the walrus cry out happily and crisply.

This foodie!

The mermaid originally had no interest in walrus meat, but when Ye Zheng grilled fish and walrus meat together, she handed the fish and walrus meat to the mermaid at the same time. The mermaid probably thought that Ye Zheng insisted that it taste the walrus meat. After hesitating for a while, it tried to eat it. From then on, it was out of control, and dragging the walrus back was more proactive than Ye Zheng thought.

The walrus meat on the fire is already half-cooked, and the surface of the meat slowly turns brown, becomes shiny, and oozes oil. Ye Zheng took a clean leaf with ease and carefully wiped the oil off the meat.

After observing it many times, she discovered that compared to the less picky fish meat, mermaids actually have quite a lot of requirements for walrus meat. The reason why her big fish doesn't like to eat walrus meat is entirely because walrus has too much fat. Even Ye Zheng himself felt that compared with sea fish, walruses have an astonishing amount of fat. It's no wonder that walruses live in colder places after all.

In order to ensure that the human fish eats safely and healthily, Ye Zheng will cut off the fat when cutting the meat, and the meat selected for the human fish is all lean meat, and the walrus oil from the roast must be absorbed for it. Although It can't be completely wiped out, but it will always make the mermaid eat more happily.

Ye Zheng slowly turned the branches one by one to allow the walrus meat to be heated evenly. Ye Zheng's barbecue skills are getting better and better. She can now tell whether the barbecue is cooked or cooked even with her eyes closed. Ye Zheng grabbed a small handful of salt and sprinkled it with a handful of dried and ground seaweed leaves. Then he took the barbecue off the fire rack with satisfaction, and then put new meat skewers on it.

Ye Zheng turned his head and looked into the distance. He saw that the mermaid was still happily cutting up the walrus, and the tail behind him, which was very long and wide, flicked occasionally.

When the mermaid wasn't looking at her, Ye Zheng lowered her head and carefully took a bite of the freshly baked walrus meat. She couldn't wait to bite into the walrus meat while inhaling. The outside is a slightly charred and hard golden skin, and the inside is perfectly roasted lean walrus meat, with even the texture showing a delicious sheen.

While grilling meat and spreading the cold meat skewers, Ye Zheng thought, the mermaid really doesn't have much to eat. Although it also likes to eat cooked meat, it doesn't eat high-temperature food. But this kind of barbecue, when it is freshly grilled, it is still hot while it is hot. It's best eaten when the skin is still crispy.

As Ye Zheng thought regretfully, he couldn't help but lift up a bunch of cold walrus kebabs, put them to his mouth and took a bite. Ye Zheng thought as he chewed it. Although it tasted good, it was not as delicious as the hot one.

She thought as she took a bite of the barbecue, although it wasn't that delicious, it was enough... she might as well finish it.

Just as Ye Zheng was holding up the branch and raising his face to take a second bite, a cold claw stretched out from the back of his right hand and held Ye Zheng's wrist. Ye Zheng shook his hand and almost dropped the meat skewer: Why did this fish crawl over so suddenly?

The mermaid suddenly crawled over, held Ye Zheng's wrist, leaned over and bit the barbecue in her hand cleanly, so naturally and smoothly that Ye Zheng could only see the tip of its tongue and teeth right in front of his mouth. He touched it and took the barbecue away.

Ye Zheng stared blankly at the mermaid swallowing walrus meat with an expressionless face. She was actually eaten by a human being!
