Chapter 772: Survival on a Deserted Island (Part 3)

In the middle of the night, Cheng Ling was woken up twice by the cold. She got up in a daze, added some branches to the fire pit with scattered flames, then got back into the branch house and continued to sleep.

The sun rises very early on the island.

Lying in the branch house, the sun shines through the gaps and hits Cheng Ling, making it warm and comfortable.

Feeling the bright sunshine, she felt a little heavy and didn't want to get up.

But from the jungle not far away, there were bursts of angry bird calls.

Cheng Ling closed her eyes and tried her best to ignore the birdsong. Finally, she couldn't bear it and climbed up, got out of the branch house and looked at the place where the birds were singing——

I saw a big bird with blue feathers and long legs, chirping and jumping around in front of a bush.

And that bush was where Cheng Ling picked up the bird eggs yesterday.

——Cheng Ling's brain felt groggy and a little swollen.

I don’t know if it’s because I caught a cold at night or because of the sequelae of the electric shock.

The chirping of birds aggravated the headache. Cheng Ling scratched his disheveled hair, bent down to pick up a stone, aimed at the scolding bird, and threw it hard——

boom!

The stone fell just in front of the blue bird's feet.

The bird was so frightened that it jumped on the spot, then folded its wings and ran back to the woods, not showing up for a long time.

His clear dreams were disturbed and he couldn't fall back asleep even if he wanted to go back to sleep. Cheng Ling simply got up.

The hair was wet by the sea water, and a lot of salt grains condensed on it. The sea breeze sprinkled a layer of sand on the hair. At this moment, Cheng Ling's hair was messier than a bird's nest.

She scratched her hair several times but failed to smooth it out, so she simply did it.

She sat by the fire pit, threw a few branches into it, and looked at the vast sea in a daze.

She was too tired last night and had no time to think about her future. At this moment, she had to make good plans for her future.

All she knew was that she was in the Pacific Ocean at the moment, and she had no idea of ​​her exact location.

In the Pacific Ocean, there are many such inaccessible islands scattered - most trans-oceanic ships have their own fixed routes and rarely deviate from the route - and small islands that stand out in the ocean are usually surrounded by reefs, and ships can approach them. There may be a risk of running aground on the rocks. Even if people sometimes see the island by boat, they will not easily go to the island to explore.

Since Cheng Ling landed, he has not found any traces of human activities at all, indicating that this island is far away from other islands and far away from fixed shipping routes——

How long will it take for you to be rescued?

Cheng Ling didn't know.

Maybe next moment.

Maybe a year and a half, or even longer.

——A feeling of confusion passed through my mind.

Cheng Ling shook his head.

She will not waste time and energy thinking about things that are completely beyond her control, and she is not willing to let such things corrupt her emotions.

The wind blew her messy hair around her face.

Cheng Ling tugged at his scattered hair, grabbed the boning knife, raised the knife and dropped it——

A strand of hair fell to the ground.

Cheng Ling kept doing it, using a boning knife to cut off his hair one by one.

Finally, Cheng Ling shook her uneven short hair. She felt much refreshed and her mood was lifted.

——No matter when he can be rescued!

Her life principle is to live in the present.

She never places her good wishes on tomorrow. If possible, she will find a way to make her life more comfortable at this moment.

She needs to dig up supplies on the deserted island for her own use.

Unfortunately, her feet are not yet ready.

Cheng Ling picked up the sneakers - the shoes were not completely dry yet.

She picked two short and thick branches, stuck them on the beach, and hung her sneakers on the branches. The sunshine and sea breeze would increase the drying speed.

Then, she grabbed her ankle and looked at the wound on her foot in the sun:

The foot injury is recovering well, and the shallower wounds have been completely bonded. The deeper wounds were also stuck together with blood, mucus and sugar, but they cracked easily. There was one deepest wound with a slight amount of blood oozing out.

Cheng Ling put his feet near the hot fire pit to roast them again, sprinkled them with sugar, and wrapped them tightly with a cloth strip.

Then, she put the coins that reflected the metallic luster in the sun back into the plastic bag one by one. Many birds like to collect shiny things to decorate their nests.

Coins scattered like this can easily be stolen by birds. Cheng Ling kept these coins for great use.

After collecting the coins, Cheng Ling moved the coconut that had used up the coconut water yesterday, inserted the boning knife into the hole in the coconut, held the handle of the boning knife, and hit the coconut against the stone.

Split the coconut into two pieces.

Cheng Ling picked out the coconut meat, brought it to his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

After eating the coconut meat, she felt hungrier and thirstier.
