Life on a deserted island with a rich daughter

Chapter 380 Captivity

Chapter 380 Captivity

Since the old man had nothing to say, Lin Dong couldn't ask any more questions.

So he had no choice but to return to the cave. Once back in the cave, Sun Yong and the others were playing Go.

"Hey, Lin Dong, you're back, haven't you hunted? Didn't you say you went hunting? Why are you empty-handed?"

Jiang Xueli asked curiously when she saw Lin Dong came back, and it was only then that Lin Dong suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to hunt.

"Uh, I searched here for a long time just now, but I didn't find any prey. The rabbit is too cunning, and I couldn't even catch it."

Lin Dong said awkwardly.

"Oh, it's all right, I still have supplies in this cave, don't be so anxious to go hunting."

Wang Dali came out to make a rescue.

"Yes, yes, there are still more of these."

Lin Dong smiled.

"Tch, you must have been lazy, and then forgot to catch it."

Jiang Xueli also said it funny.

"Hey, I see, it's not an option to continue hunting like this, why don't we raise them in captivity!"

Liu Yang suggested at this time.

"Captive?"

The crowd gathered around without knowing why.

Then Liu Yang explained to everyone what he meant by captivity.

It turned out that Liu Yang thought of it from the hunting that everyone said just now.

Although the resources of the deserted island are very rich, they are limited after all.

Whether it is animals, plants or fish, there will always be times when resources are scarce.

And it is still a matter of when they will be rescued on this deserted island. If they are not rescued on this deserted island, and the supplies are lacking, wouldn't they all starve to death in this place.

That's why Liu Yang proposed the method of captive breeding, intending to specially raise some animals in captivity, or plant some edible fruits and the like.

In this way, it can not only prevent the lack of food caused by material shortage at that time, but also can eat whenever you want, and you don't have to go hunting anymore.

Liu Yang's method won the approval of several of them.

After all, on such a large deserted island, hunting all the time was not an option.

"You're right, but what's our first step?"

Jiang Xueli asked.

"Let's raise fish first!"

Liu Yang said.

"It's okay to raise fish, we like to eat fish the most!"

When it comes to eating fish, Jiang Xueli gets excited.

"How to raise fish, none of us have any experience in raising fish!"

Sun Yong frowned.

It seems that this experienced Sun Yong, an expert in wilderness survival, also has problems.

"Because it is a fish in the sea, it is easier to raise. We only need to dig a two-square-meter pit near the cave."

"Then seal the surface with iron bark, so that the seawater will not seep into the soil when it is poured in."

"As for the fish's food, we catch some earthworms and the like, which are available near the cave, so we don't have to look for them every day."

When Liu Yang said this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

He is worthy of being a high-achieving student, and he even thought of raising him in captivity.

"Then what are we going to do after raising the fish?"

Lin Dong asked.

"Let's do fish farming first, and the rest will be done later."

Liu Yang said, and then they all assigned tasks to each other.

The physical work of digging pits was naturally left to Wang Dali and Sun Yong, Lin Dong and the two girls were responsible for fishing, and Liu Yang and Li Wen were responsible for finding iron bark and earthworms.

"Sun Yong, that kid is really smart!"

Wang Dali carried the military shovel and Sun Yong came to the fish pit destination together.

Since Wang Dali was about the same age as Sun Yong, he was called by his first name.

"That's for sure. That kid is a high-achieving student in a key university. He originally had the opportunity to study abroad, but he gave up because of family reasons."

Sun Yong explained, and Wang Dali responded.

So the two of them began to dig a hole.

Although the soil around here is relatively soft, it is also physical labor.

To dig a two-square-meter pit with a depth of more than one meter, it would take a long time for these two strong men.

"Clang!"

When Wang Dali went down with a shovel, he suddenly bumped into something hard.

"Hey, Sun Yong, look what's under here, it seems to be an iron box."

Wang Dali said with some surprise.

Sun Yong also felt strange, so he stretched out his hand and peeled off the soil next to it, and pulled out the iron box.

This is a rusty iron box, and the surface of the box has also been dented.

Judging from the rusty surface and the sunken iron sheet, this box must have a long history, at least several years ago.

"Strange, where did this iron box come from? Could it be that there were people living on this deserted island before us?"

Sun Yong weighed the iron box, and it was quite smooth. After shaking it, something kept ringing inside, like a book.

"I don't know! But it looks like it has been there for several years, why don't we open it and have a look, maybe there is something inside."

Wang Dali suggested.

It's just that Sun Yongqiang didn't want to open it, or there was a lock on the iron box.

The structure of this kind of lock is not the same as that of modern key locks. It is a special kind of lock, which can only be unlocked with a special key.

This kind of key is similar to that kind of cylindrical shape, not to mention that the inside of the lock is already rusted, and it cannot be opened at all.

Even if Sun Yong exhausted his brute force, he would just keep pulling the lock.

Wang Dali wanted to use a military shovel to shovel the lock, but the result was predictable.

This lock is very strong, even a military shovel has produced a gap, but the lock is still hanging on it firmly, without any gaps being opened.

"Forget it, let's take it first. When Lin Dong and the others come back, we will find a way to open it together. Let's dig a hole now."

Sun Yong finally gave up.Wait a while, the lock is not opened, all the strength is wasted on this, and then they will not even have the strength to dig a hole.

Wang Dali also agreed, so they put the iron box away and continued to dig holes.

On the other side, Liu Yang and Li Wen collected a lot of iron bark in the forest.

And the most important thing is that the iron bark is still a whole piece, they save time to cut it, and put it directly into the pit, the size is just right.

This luck is still great, they found the iron bark, and then went to spend a lot of earthworms.

Earthworms are a delicacy for deep-water fish.

Although freshwater fish don't eat much, deepwater fish do have a soft spot for earthworms.

The earthworms they dug up brought back the iron bark by the way.

Seeing Lin Dong, the other two groups went smoothly, but only Lin Dong couldn't catch any fish.
