Chapter 3169 Trap or Opportunity

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lin Rui searched on the beach, but to his disappointment, except for a few shells, there was no big harvest.  Thinking of the scene where Barea and George lit a fire and barbecue by the pond just now, Lin Rui knew that they must have searched the beach before leaving and took away enough food.

    But Lin Rui still had a way. He dug out many small sandworms on the beach.  It is two to three inches long, with a rough appearance and dark brown color. It is as thick as an index finger and as thin as a rice stem, about the length of a thumb. It also drags a "tail" that is one or two inches long, as thin as a match stem, and can be retracted freely.  ".  This kind of thing looks disgusting, but in fact Lin Rui knows that in China's coastal areas of Fujian and parts of Zhejiang's coastal areas, this kind of thing is the raw material for the famous local snack Jellied Bamboo Shoots.  The scientific name should be Leathercystis palaae, which is edible.

    But the traditional method is to let it rest for a day to clear out the debris, and then boil it in a pot.  Because this stuff has a high degree of collagen like pig skin, it boils into a pot and becomes sticky. After it is scooped out, it is placed in a small bowl. After it cools down naturally, it solidifies into a small bowl of frozen bamboo shoots.  It is still a famous snack in Fujian and other places.

    It is said that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded the southeastern coast of China, and Qi Jiguang led his troops to fight against the Japanese.  Due to the shortage of food, they ordered the jumping fish, shrimps, crabs and snails on the tidal flats to be caught and cooked together in a pot. While catching crabs on the tidal flats, they accidentally caught a kind of sea earthworm, and the soldiers put it alone.  Put it into the pot and cook the soup, it feels delicious.  So this disgusting bug became a famous snack later.

    When it comes to food, few can beat the Chinese.  Not to mention the two Europeans Barea and George, how did they know that this disgusting-looking bug was actually a delicious snack on the other side of the world?

    However, Lin Rui doesn't care about delicious snacks now. He needs a lot of energy, and the protein of this kind of bug is what he needs.  He just squeezed out the dirt inside the sandworm, then floated it in the sea water, then threw it into his mouth and chewed it. Although the taste was slimy and had an indescribable taste.  But at this time, there is nothing to be picky about.

    He put the extra sandworms in his pocket for emergencies.  Because he knows that if he has a chance to go to the beach today, he may not have a chance tomorrow.  In addition to fresh water, having access to food is the prerequisite for continuing to live on this desert island.  Lin Rui continued to walk forward while rummaging, and he found that except for the sandworms under the sand, there were almost no other shellfish and small fish and shrimps on the beach.

    And it is impossible for Barea and George alone to pick up all these edible things.  They must have thrown other shellfish and small fish and shrimps that washed ashore back into the sea while looking for food to prevent Lin Rui from getting food.  Lin Rui cursed secretly in his heart, "These two guys are really despicable. They are trying not to leave any way for me to survive. They tried to occupy fresh water before, and now they are using their brains on food. If it weren't for these things this time,  Bugs, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to go hungry and fight with them on the island.¡±

    He walked for a while and suddenly found a large black shadow in front of him.  It looks like a huge rock protruding from the beach, but if you look closely you can still see clearly that it is a raft covered by dead grass and leaves.

    "Found it. The raft they made turned out to be here." Lin Rui quickly squatted down and looked around alertly.  There is no one around, except for the sound of sea breeze and tide, and the sound of distant trees being blown by the wind, everything here is peaceful.

    "Sure enough, I want to build a raft here to escape." Lin Rui thought to himself, "This is an opportunity. Before their raft is completed, why not take advantage of this good opportunity to set it on fire for them. These two red tides  Although the team members were armed, they had been injured before. If the raft was destroyed, they would not be able to escape from the island. And if they wanted to start a new one, they would have to waste several days.

    After all, to make this raft, Barea and others used a lot of materials that could be found on the beach.  It would not be that convenient if they had to do it all over again. They would have to go deep into the island to cut down trees, and then carry the materials here.  In this way, they will waste more time virtually.  Maybe it can be delayed until reinforcements arrive.  "

    Seeing that the raft was not far away, Lin Rui only had to run over and light a fire. By the time Barea and the others noticed and rushed over, the raft would have been almost burned.  Lin Rui was about to step over, but suddenly stopped again.  Could things really be that simple?

    Lin Rui suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.  It was so simple, but he always felt that something was wrong.  Maybe it's too simple.  The raft they built was right in front of them. As long as they walked over and lit it on fire, their escape plan could be completely destroyed.  But this Barea and George are not ordinary people.  Would they do something so careless?  If they were planning to use this raft to escapestudents, then they should be extremely concerned about this. Why is there no one left to guard during the rest, or two people simply camp on this beach?

    Anyway, Lin Rui felt that if he was in such a situation.  No matter what, we have to hold on to this raft as a hope of escape, rather than leaving here to camp by the pond.  Would Barea and George be so careless?

    Lin Rui turned around and looked at the large beach behind him.  Suddenly my heart moved.  Barea and George would never be so careless.

    They will even throw all the excess seashells on the beach back into the sea to prevent Lin Rui from getting food. This shows that they are very meticulous and are by no means careless people.  And they even predicted his actions and knew that he might find his way to the beach.  Otherwise this beach cleanup would be pointless.

    So the question is, since they knew Lin Rui was coming to the beach, why did they leave the raft here without guarding it?  Could it be that they didn't know that Lin Rui would take the opportunity to destroy the raft?

    "This is absolutely impossible!" Lin Rui shook his head and said to himself, "It is absolutely impossible for them to abandon this raft, so there must be other reasons."

    "Maybe this is another bait to lure me into being fooled." Lin Rui thought to himself.  But the raft was right in front of him, and if he just turned around and walked away, he would be a little reluctant.  Even though I knew there was a problem, I still felt unwilling to let such an opportunity go in vain.  This is an opportunity to destroy the other party's escape plan without any bloodshed.  Does Lin Rui really want to give up, or is he willing to give up?
