Chapter 9: Desert Island Survival (3) (2/2)
As an enlightenment teacher, sometimes attitude is more important than ability.
Sure enough, he then listened to the other side and said, ”Friend, can you help me find some green coconuts, my throat is too dry, and I will teach you how to find water.”
”No problem.” Zhang Heng lay down for a while while recovering some strength, just to meet the needs of the other party.
This time he smashed fourteen coconuts in one breath, gave five bare-ass men, ate three more, and left six for storage.
The bare-ass man has drank coconut juice and looks a lot better. He stretched out a hand. ”I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Ed Wilson, a British national and a former British Army captain in Afghanistan. Just call me Ed, thank you so much for saving my life. ”
”Zhang Heng, a Chinese, is still in his sophomore year. You are welcome.” Zhang Heng and the former British Army Captain in Afghanistan held a friendly handshake.
Afterwards, the tone of the latter suddenly dropped. ”Unfortunately, these two guys, there is no other land besides this small island. I am afraid they will not be able to come up.”
However, the man named Ed obviously has a good ability of self-psychological adjustment, but after a bit of sadness, he resumes optimism. ”Well, according to the agreement, I should fulfill the agreement and teach you how to find water sources.”
”When I was at sea, I probably visually checked that this island should be about 120 hectares in size. I found some animal footprints near the bushes. This shows that there may be streams on the island. Follow the animal footprints. Can find it, but at the same time the bad news is that this also means that there may be predators on the island, and it is going to be night soon. It is not a wise move to explore the island without a torch. , You may get lost, you will be attacked by a beast ... ”
Ed patiently taught survival skills in the wild, in order to facilitate Zhang Heng to understand each word, he deliberately slowed down.
Even so, Zhang Heng would interrupt him from time to time to ask about the meaning of a word. Although Zhang Heng had parents working abroad, the two gods stayed at home for a short time and did not deliberately train Zhang Constant foreign language level.
Therefore, the latter's English is ordinary level six, and there is not much problem in daily communication. However, once professional vocabulary is involved, Ed must explain it again.
The two of them taught each other. After 20 minutes, Zhang Heng finally figured out how to find fresh water in the wild. According to Ed's suggestion, he temporarily used coconut milk as the main source of water and searched the nearby stone walls at the same time. Several small puddles were found, and a natural cave was also found.
It's about ten square meters, and it's full of bird droppings. The smell is not so good. UU reads , but the terrain is relatively high, do not worry about being swept away by the tide when sleeping at night, and more importantly is in the leeward position. The island is still cold sooner or later, especially when the wind blows on the body, which will take more heat .
When the sun was setting, Zhang Heng used the last light of the horizon to pick up a few coconuts and had dinner with them before. Then the two in the cave said good night.
As a city man, Zhang Heng slept in the wild for the first time. Although he knew that his spirit and body had reached the limit, and he needed to rest urgently, he still couldn't close his eyes for a long time. Rocks, unknown bugs crawling over his arms in the dark ... Everything was tormenting his nerves, making him restless.
Ed suddenly said, ”Zhang, have I told you what is most important to survive in the wild?”
”What?” Zhang Heng didn't hear the movement behind him for a long time, thinking that the man had fallen asleep.
”Survival skills are very important, there is no doubt about it, but it is more important to keep yourself optimistic. When you are suffering, you can think about those happy things and tell yourself that maybe a boat will pass here tomorrow. Bring me back to the civilized world. ”Ed's mentality is as positive as ever.
Zhang Heng sighed secretly. If this is really a game, it is impossible for a ship to pass by in 40 days, but Ed's words still make his mood a lot better, the most important thing is to make him realize at the moment He is not alone, Zhang Heng is not a person who likes to blame the sky.
But it was only for 40 days on a desert island. With a teacher, he believed he could do it. Zhang Heng tried to clear those negative emotions out of his mind, and soon he was tired, and he closed. Got his own eyes.
