One Hundred Days on an Uninhabited Island

Chapter 42 Sea Island 11 Days Goat Bone

Temporary shelters exist, but only seem to be.

The cave is a little far from the ground, enough for the 11 of them to live in, and it is not sure if there is a host in it, they need to explore first.

"Take a personal ladder and let someone go up and have a look first."

Ye Yajie came around, except for Han Tang and Yao Yanan and Mu Jie who went to chop firewood, the other three also came, looking up curiously at the cave where they might live tonight,

"No, let's throw a few stones in to see the situation."

Although the cave is more than two meters away from the ground, the height is not difficult for reptiles such as vipers and flying species such as bats.

Throw a few stones inside, and if there are creatures inside, they will definitely be frightened out.

Of course, the premise is that it can be seen by them.

Wen Siqi picked up a few stones and threw them towards the cave.

The diameter of the cave is not small, and a stone was thrown into it casually, and an empty echo came out soon.

No animals came out.

Then a few more pieces were thrown in, and there was still only the echo of the stone being thrown in.

Wen Siqi clapped her hands, "I'll go up and have a look, Brother Lin, please give me a hand."

"Row."

Lin Jianfei walked to the bottom of the rock wall, raised his trouser legs, folded his hands and squatted down.

Wen Siqi supported the rock wall and stepped on Lin Jianfei's hand, and the latter dragged her to stand up slowly.

The karst cave faces the sun, so the sun cannot shine into the cave, and the vegetation in front of the cave is tall and dense, making the vision even darker. Wen Siqi can't estimate how deep the cave is, and there is only shade.

Tick.

what sound?

A sound suddenly came from the cave, it was very short and disappeared in an instant, so Wen Siqi couldn't tell what it was in time.

But soon, there was another sound, it was a tick, the tick of water.

have water?

Wen Siqi wanted to go in and have a look, but the cave was too dark. Although no animals were frightened when the stone was thrown in, there were spider webs at the entrance of the cave, which meant that there were probably spiders in the cave. Whether the spiders were poisonous or not could not be determined.

If you have a torch, maybe you can go in and check it out.

After making up her mind, Wen Siqi prepared to go down.

"Brother Lin, let me down."

"How about it, can you live there?"

As soon as his feet hit the ground, Wang Zhenzhen couldn't wait to come over.

She didn't want to sleep naked on this island at all, especially at night. The jungle on the island made her feel creepy now, and she had to scare herself to death at night.

Now I finally found a liveable and safe cave. If I can't even live in it, where else can I live?

Wang Zhen was really eager for Wen Siqi to understand, so he described the observed situation one by one, and shared his thoughts.

"There is dripping water, and there is no light, so the humidity will be very heavy. We, the old and the young, and pregnant women and my sick child, will get sick." Ye Yajie frowned and muttered, "And the distance from the ground It's too high, and it's inconvenient to get up and down."

"I have considered all the issues that Ms. Ye is worried about. We will not live here for a long time. Once we find a more suitable place to build a barracks, we will leave."

"Of course, if there are ships passing by here in a short period of time, there is no need to worry too much."

Wen Siqi had considered the dampness, light, and up and down issues of the cave.

Humidity and light can be solved with fire. I am ready to wait for the fire to start, and I will get some of it to dehumidify in the cave first.

It is a bit troublesome to go up and down, you can use a rope and wood to tie a rope ladder, that is, the rope ladder is fixed and the thickness of the rope needs to be considered.

Back at the camp, Han Tang lit the fire, and Yao Yanan and Mu Jie, who were going to chop firewood, were also in the camp at this time.

There wasn't a lot of firewood, but there was something gray and white thrown on the beach in front of them, and Yao Yanan even lit it with a branch.

"what?"

"Sheep skull?"

"Where did you get them?"

A series of questions were thrown to Yao Yanan and the two after seeing the things thrown on the beach.

Throwing on the ground was the skull of some animal, with a sharp beak and horns, and one side was broken off, which looked like a horn.

There was a lot of dust stuck to the skull, and some of the dust had cracked and sunk into the skull, as if it had just been dug out from some dusty lump, and it looked a little dirty.

Ye Yajie picked up the sheep's skull and flipped it in her hands, "Look at this horn...does it look like a goat?"

"Goat? Where did this kind of ghost come from... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Before she finished speaking, Ye Yajie threw the sheep's skull at Wang Zhenzhen, who was so frightened that his face paled and he cried out.

"Are you sick!"

"You are the only one who is sick. I was treating your illness just now, so that you can see the reality clearly."

Ye Yajie grinned gloatingly.

Wang Zhenzhen frowned, grabbed the sheep bone and threw it back, "You don't need to pretend to be kind."

After catching the sheep skull thrown back, Ye Yajie threw it over again.

You come and go, the two threw each other childishly, and then Ye Yajie dragged Wen Suiyun into the water, the three of them had a great time playing, Jiang Xinran, who wanted to persuade Ye Yajie to calm down, gave up her thoughts and turned her head Then she looked at Wen Siqi, and she was very concerned about the latter's seriousness.

This is an island, deep in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, not connected to the land, and far away from the land. Logically speaking, terrestrial creatures such as goats will not appear. The appearance of such creatures as goats shows two possibilities.

One is that the island was originally connected to the mainland, but it became an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean due to the movement of the earth's plates, and the goats did not become extinct due to changes in the environment and have reproduced to this day.

The second is that the goats were released on the island by humans.

Either way, it shows that the island is still within the scope of human activities, and they are very likely to be rescued.

But in the same way, there are also large animals that threaten their lives on this island, and there are not only mammals that are snakes, such as leopards, tigers, or others.

"Are there any other bones besides this skull?"

After thinking back, Wen Siqi had another idea.

"Yes, they are basically stacked together, but we just took this skull."

Yao Yanan pointed at the jungle.

Just now she and Mu Jie went to chop firewood. When they were drilling deep, Mu Jie stepped on a bone. At the time, she thought it was a human bone, and almost didn't scare them. Then, she stepped on a tree a few steps away from the bone. Found a pile of bones covered in fallen leaves.

After discovering this pile of bones, Mu Jie remembered Wen Siqi's reminder two days ago, and discussed with Yao Yanan to bring back a piece of bone to see if she could learn something from it.

It seems that Mingtang has come out.

"It's under the tree in front."

Wen Siqi said that she wanted to see the specific situation, so she asked Yao Yanan and Mu Jie to take her to the place where they found the sheep bones again.

Through a bush, Yao Yanan pointed to a tree.

The tree is huge, as thick as four people hugging it together. The roots exposed outside the soil are thick and intertwined, eating up a lot of space around, and in the gaps between the roots, there are piles of bones hidden under the cover of fallen leaves. Look closely and it's easy to get lost in this light-repelled jungle.

Wen Siqi pushed aside the leaves and looked at them for a long time before picking up a bone to ponder.

Yao Yanan squatted aside and estimated which part of the bone it was. It looked like a hind leg bone.

It should be that there is nothing to see, Wen Siqi put down the bone without looking at it for a while, and picked up another bone again, apparently intending to find something from it.

"Are you looking for it?"

The voice came from the side, Yao Yanan looked up, Jiang Xinran who came with her also had a bone in her hand, Mu Jie followed behind her, it seemed that she also found it nearby.

"really."

When Wen Siqi saw this bone, her expression became more dignified.

Seeing Wen Siqi's solemn expression, Jiang Xinran guessed what she was worried about.

The bones showed traces of being gnawed. Judging from the gnawing traces, the creature that attacked this sheep had a strong bite force. Generally, animals with such a bite force have good attack power. Once they encounter this sheep Animals, the possibility of surviving is very small, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out.

but.

"Are you worried about encountering an animal that attacks the goat?"

"Ah."

"I don't think you need to worry too much."

"How to say?"

"From what I have observed, this sheep has been dead for at least 20 years, and 20 years is enough to turn a strong lion into a pile of bones."

The lifespan of most animals is much shorter than that of humans. For humans, 20 years is a long time, but after all, it is only a part of life. For many animals, 20 years is a lifetime, and some even have several reincarnations.

So Jiang Xinran was not worried that the animal would threaten their lives.

"You've done a lot of research on this?"

Wen Siqi shook the bone in her hand.

If it hadn't been for a lot of hard work, it would be impossible to determine the time of death of a bone in such a short period of time. This can't be done just out of interest, and Wen Siqi has a right to speak on this point.

At least, she couldn't see it.

"Let's be fascinated by it."

"I see."

Obsession is not as good as in-depth research, but there is no certain amount of time to imbue the understanding of a certain aspect, Wen Siqi believed it.

but.

"We can't take it lightly. We don't know how it and the goats appeared on this island and whether they left offspring. If we take it lightly, we will definitely suffer backlash."

When the smile changed, Jiang Xinran couldn't understand Wen Siqi's sudden change of attitude. The joy in the smile always felt that it had nothing to do with what she said.

"Pack up, let's go back."

Wen Siqi put down the bones and took the spear that was lying aside.

"Clean up? You mean...we're going to bury it?"

"Yes, as a reward for our vigilance, we don't want it to be exposed to the wilderness and suffer from the wind and rain."

There is no reason to refute.

Although the other party has been dead for many years, I'm afraid they are used to the wind and rain, and they are still animal bones, so they don't have the idea of ​​helping them burrow into the ground.

However, at least they gave them a warning, and they couldn't justify taking the benefits without giving them back.

help.

Yao Yanan and Mu Jie made eye contact, and together with Jiang Xinran, they picked up a spear and found an open space by the tree to dig.

A little earth bag was born.
