Chapter 736 The most suitable place to live
After hearing this, the few people nodded.
"Okay, the purpose of our visit is to find Qian Yingying's whereabouts. Since the ship is gone, we have no choice but to look for Qian Yingying first!" Du Yixuan continued.
Several people looked at her, obviously wanting to hear her thoughts.
"My idea is that we will start searching for Qian Yingying's whereabouts now. We will walk into this forest. Don't let us be alone. We can divide it into several groups and we can take care of each other!"
Several people nodded again.
"Okay, since there is no objection, let's start now. We must return here before dark. It's too dangerous to spend the night in the jungle!" Du Yixuan added.
Next, we started to group. Du Yixuan must be with Wu Ming. Bai Xiu didn't think he slept with Qian Feng all night yesterday, but he was drunk too much. When the two woke up, they would definitely not trust each other. So Bai Xiu naturally chose to join Wu Ming in a group.
What surprised them was that the captain actually chose Du Yixuan and the others' team.
Then the remaining Qian Feng will naturally be in the same group as those soldiers. Those soldiers were originally hired by the Qian family, so they naturally obeyed Qian Feng. Moreover, Qian Feng also knew the details of these soldiers. In his eyes, these are all soldiers, and they are better than Wu Ming and others!
The two teams advanced in two different directions. In a short while, Wu Ming and the others entered the woods.
This is the real primeval forest, towering trees and dense vegetation, and they have never seen many trees and plants here, and there are many strange little animals.
"Captain, have you stayed on other islands before?" Wu Ming asked suddenly.
The captain nodded, "Of course I have stayed there, and more than once, but it's just as mysterious and weird as West Wind Island, and I've never encountered it before!"
"Actually, there is no need to worry too much. After all, this island is not far from the Central Sea. If a fishing boat passes by or someone comes to rescue it, it will not be difficult!" Du Yixuan said.
The captain shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think. This island is very special, and the territory is also very special. Not only is the magnetic field a little special, but the orientation of this island is constantly changing. I have talked to other captains before. In their memories, the location of this island seems to deviate a little from time to time! Of course, it may also be caused by the error caused by the compass under the action of the magnetic field!"
After all, the captain's words were still very authoritative, and everyone looked a little unfair after hearing this.
"Since that's the case, we have to take some measures. The first thing we need to solve is the problem of fresh water and food. It's okay to say fresh water, but this food is a problem!" Du Yixuan said seriously.
"Yes!" the captain nodded helplessly, "Although we brought a lot of food, most of them were in the cabin. There were not many things that were actually brought down. We were about to finish it in a few days, so we could only rely on our hands!"
"Don't worry too much. With this jungle, at least we can't starve to death. Not to mention anything else, I've seen many plants' rhizomes that can be eaten along the way. Although the taste is not very good, it's still more than enough to save your life!" Wu Ming said with a smile.
Everyone knows that she is a Chinese medicine practitioner and knows a little about medicinal materials and plants. After hearing what he said, she feels much more at ease.
"Yes, in fact, the most important thing in survival in the wild is to correct your mentality. If your mentality collapses first, everything will be done!" Du Yixuan added.
The few people were not walking fast, and there was no road ahead, so they all depended on them to open the way.
"Something is wrong!" Wu Ming suddenly stopped.
No one looked at him incomprehensible.
"What's wrong?" Du Yixuan asked.
"You don't have it now. There is no road in this place. If they bring Qian Yingying, even if the rain washes away the traces, the vegetation will be damaged. In other words, our road is incorrect!"
"But this island is so big, no one knows where they got ashore, so they can only look for it aimlessly!" Bai Xiu said.
Wu Ming shook his head, "No one knows what kind of danger is in the woods, so we can't leave like this!"
"You mean, let's look for it on the outside first?" Du Yixuan asked.
Wu Ming nodded, "Yes, first, the view on the outside is wide, the danger coefficient must be much smaller, and those who brought Qian Yingying to the island must also know that the dangers in the woods may not necessarily go to the woods, so I feel that our previous plan was wrong!"
"Okay, let's listen to Wu Ming. Let's look for it on the periphery first. There is also an important point. We must re-select the location where we set up camp. Everyone saw the thunderstorm yesterday. No one can guarantee whether such thunderstorm will come again. If it comes bigger, what should we do? And if the tent is damaged, then our accommodation will become a problem!"
Without hesitation, the few people walked back as they came.
"Be careful!" Wu Ming suddenly shouted, and hit the captain's left with a stick. It happened that a small brown snake more than half a meter long was knocked to the ground by Wu Ming.
The captain was startled and quickly took a few steps back.
"Please be careful. This snake is a very domineering poisonous snake. It is good at attacking. If it is bitten, it will be troublesome!" Wu Ming said with a calm face.
The other people's faces also became ugly. This was the first time they had encountered snake attacks on the island, and it was a poisonous snake!
Fortunately, on the way back, everyone encountered no danger. They went deep into the jungle and did not go deep. They walked out in less than half an hour.
After seeing the sea, everyone finally felt better!
"Okay, let's take a walk along this coastline. Maybe you may gain anything!" Wu Ming said seriously.
Walking on this coastline is much easier, with beaches and rocks everywhere, and occasionally some silt, which is not a problem at all.
More importantly, some fish can be harvested. Du Yixuan simply took out a simple fishing net and put these unexpectedly harvested fish in.
"It seems we're going to improve our meals at noon!"
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. No matter what, eating fish is much better than compressed biscuits.
Until noon, no one found anything special. Everything was realistic, and there seemed to be no trace of anyone coming here.
"Isn't Yingying and the others coming to this island, or are there any information from us wrong?" Bai Xiu frowned.
Wu Ming shook his head, "I feel that the news should be fine. The Du family and Qian family have confirmed it. However, this Xifeng Island is very big, and it is unknown where they go ashore. Secondly, this place is also weird, just like the ship that disappeared inexplicably. We still have no idea yet, so let's take a walk around the coastline first and learn about this island. The most important thing now is that our husband will save it. Otherwise, even if we find Qian Yingying, what's the use?"
After hearing this, the few people felt it made sense, and then everyone continued to move forward.
"Okay, let's take a break, we'll get rid of these fish, it's not too late to get on the road!"
After saying that, Du Yixuan put down the package and took out the kitchen utensils.
The captain also put down the big bag, took out two large pots from it, then went to the sea to get sea water, and placed it in two large pots.
"I'll leave this to me for the task of getting fresh water and making salt!" The captain was very good at this. He steamed the sea water and made a sea surface on a large pot. After a while, he twisted the sea surface and squeezed out a lot of fresh water. Although it looked a bit dirty, there was still no problem if you drink it.
The remaining white things are naturally sea salt. Although these sea salts taste much worse than the salt they sell, they can be barely eaten after being processed by the captain.
Du Yixuan had already packed the fish very quickly and put it on the fire to roast it. After a while, there was a crackling sound.
She sprinkled some seasonings on it, and the fragrance immediately floated out.
This is a real sea fish, and it is fresh, and the taste is naturally bad, and Du Yixuan's grilled fish technique is absolutely useless.
Each person divided two pieces, and they were very full with dry food.
After cleaning up, several people continued to move forward.
"We will walk for another half an hour. If we don't see each other again, we will return. After all, we will have to meet with Qian Feng and the others!" Du Yixuan said.
The few people nodded and began to move forward.
But there is still nothing special in front of it.
"Look, what is that!" The captain suddenly became excited.
Everyone looked up and saw a small raft in the distance. Although the raft was incomplete, it at least showed that this thing must have been made by humans!
Several people ran over frantically, and the captain jumped into the water and pulled up the simple raft.
"Yes, it must be made by someone, but the technique is very rough. If you go to sea with this kind of raft, it will be a dead end!" the captain said with certainty.
"In this way, this group of people is likely to be the people who caught Qian Yingying. Maybe they have encountered the same problems as us!" Wu Ming frowned.
The captain nodded, "It should be so, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to make a raft! That is to say, they are nearby?"
"Let's hurry up and find it!" Wu Ming said in a deep voice.
This new presentation made everyone a little excited.
Sure enough, many traces were indeed realized around, such as fires, some wooden sticks, and even shabby tents.
However, as the more people appeared, the more ugly the faces of the few people became.
Chapter completed!
