Chapter 31: A Powerful Man

I wanted to tell Tian Xiaxia to be safe, but she went ashore one step earlier, and she didn't know which bush to get into, and there was no trace of her.

I chose a relatively dry and clean place as a makeshift camp, dropped off my things, and went to the neighborhood to collect dry firewood.

As we passed through a thick bush, a voice suddenly sounded in the grass: "Don't, don't go this way, I'm here." ”

"Oh, sorry, I didn't know you were in there. I'll go collect some firewood nearby, and you should be careful. ”

I sweated in my heart, turned my head, and went in the opposite direction.

This is a barren beach, sandy loam-type land, on which grows, all barren grass, and woods, which are half a mile away.

I looked at the nearest forest and walked in, picked up from the ground or broke from the trees, gathered some dry logs, tied them into bundles, and carried them back.

As I walked out of the woods, I hesitated and threw the firewood off my shoulder.

Because I saw a very tall tree in the distance, which seemed to be quite familiar.

Those tall trees, when I came here just now, I had already noticed them. However, at that time, I was bent on collecting firewood, but I couldn't really see it, so I didn't care about it.

I threw firewood and walked over, and before I could get closer, I heard a voice shouting: "Yu Le, come here, come here, there is a coconut grove here!"

It turned out that I don't know when, Tian Xiaxia actually ran over first.

Sure enough, it was a coconut tree! Tian Xiaxia's call proved my conjecture.

Tian Xiaxia was building a pergola with her hand, and kept looking at the tree, and when she saw me coming up, she said: "Luckily, just in time for maturity, I really want to get some to eat, but I don't know how to go up." ”

I also looked up and said, "This seems to be ...... It's a little too high. ”

Tian Xiaxia said: "The coconut tree is already very tall. This kind of coconut tree should still be a tall plant, growing more than 20 meters, which is not surprising. ”

I took a few steps back, measured it with my eyes, and said, "More than twenty meters? These plants, I think they must be at least about thirty or forty meters, don't you think it's a bit outrageous?"

Tian Xiaxia was stunned: "How can it be thirty or forty meters high? Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

I said, "Please trust my gaze, you can't be wrong." You see, just this one, the most recent one, I visually measured about 35 meters. This is one of the shorter ones. ”

Tian Xiaxia scratched her head: "There's no reason for this, I've seen a lot of coconut trees, even if it's a tall coconut tree, if it grows twenty or thirty meters, it will reach the sky, and there is no one who can grow taller, is it because of the wild?"

I said, "Whatever, maybe there is a sudden genetic mutation, as long as there are coconuts growing, I'll pick some of them, in fact, I'm quite greedy." I saw it when I went into the woods to collect firewood just now, and I'm going to come and have a look. ”

Tian Xiaxia said: "But it's so high, it's still this kind of lone tree, there are no tools, how can I let you go up!"

I smiled, "Meaning, you know the flagpole, right? When I used to train, I climbed all the slick flagpoles." ”

Tian Xiaxia saw that I was so confident, so she didn't persuade me much, but just told me to be careful, don't force me if I can't pick it up.

Without further ado, I pulled down the cuffs to cover the arms. Then he put the sailor's knife in his mouth and bit it, and with a snort he went up the tree.

Under the tree, Tian Xiaxia saw that my movements were extremely flexible, like a monkey, and in the blink of an eye, I climbed halfway, and couldn't help but praise: "Lin Zile, tell me quickly, you must be a monkey, right?

I glanced back at her: "Beauty, don't compliment me, get out of the way, or I won't see the coconut smashing your head." ”

When Tian Xiaxia heard this, she ran out very numbly.

I climbed to the top of the tree and looked down, more than 30 meters, slippery, to be honest, my legs and stomach were really a little trembling, fortunately I didn't have a fear of heights, otherwise I would have to faint.

I grabbed a central branch and secured myself before knocking the coconut fruits off my head one by one.

The coconut tree I chose is the one that bears the most fruit. After all, it's not easy to go to the tree last time, so get more if you want to, not only tonight, but also stock up on some to put on the boat for food for the next few days.

In one go, I beat all the coconut fruits I could ask for in the whole bead tree, and then slipped down the tree.

On the ground, Tian Xiaxia had already picked up all the coconuts scattered around, and was very satisfied with this result, and said: "There are more than forty in total, enough for us to eat for several days." ”

I couldn't wait to grab a master and use a knife to remove the outer skin so that the hard shell inside was exposed.

The coconut shell is very hard, and it is not possible to smash it directly, which will waste the coconut water inside, but fortunately it has a cover door, and one end of the coconut shell has three eyes, which are very thin and easy to drill through.

I drilled one with a hand knife and handed it to Tian Xiaxia. Then I got one for myself, tilted my head and poured it directly into my mouth, swallowed two bites, felt extremely sweet, and said to Tian Xiaxia: "Isn't it delicious?"

It's strange that Tian Xiaxia ignored me.

"What's wrong, don't agree with me?"

I turned my head to look at her, only to see that she hadn't drunk yet.

She held the coconut in the palm of her hand, she didn't know how to put her mouth at all, just like me, lift the coconut to the sky, tilt her neck and pour it into her mouth, this way of drinking is really not very elegant for her as a girl.

She noticed that I was looking at her embarrassment and grinned, a little embarrassed.

I got up and went to the grass on the side, took a knife and sharpened a straw pipe, handed it to her, and said, "Use this as a straw." ”

Tian Xiaxia finally had a trick now, drinking it with a straw is faster than me, drinking the coconut water, putting down the coconut shell, and saying: "The coconut meat in this is also the best, don't throw it away." I'll find a rock to smash open and eat. ”

"What kind of stones. "I picked up her coconut shell, raised my fist, and struck it on a loop, and the coconut shell broke into two neat pieces before I handed it back to her.

But I found that Tian Xia Xia looked at me dumbfounded, and forgot to take over for a while.

I pushed her hand and smiled, "Take it, what's the matter, I've never seen such a powerful man as me, right?"

Tian Xiaxia shook his head and said, "No." I've never seen someone as primitive as you. I find you very interesting, what you do, you can use your hands, you never use tools, you can use simple tools, you never use complicated. Shoot a deer with a stone, open a coconut shell with your hands, and there is really no one else except you. ”

I smiled and said, "You can be generous and admit that I am strong." I've never seen you praise people like this. ”
