Chapter 793: Coconut

As soon as Ang Lee arrived in the port town at the northernmost tip of the Red Sea, he couldn't wait to go hunting in the mountains not far away, because Ang Lee had already rested well enough when he was on the ship, and the local environment was not much different from Aden City, and it didn't take time to adapt to the local environment.

Hunting requires not much preparation, it is enough to bring a crossbow weapon and a certain amount of food and fresh water, a hundred people have their own mounts, and in addition, thirty additional horses are prepared to carry all kinds of simple supplies, which can support the needs of a day's hunting.

It's still morning, and if you set off now, you can rush back before dark, and for the sake of safety, Ang Lee won't go too deep into the forest, so as not to lose his way and cause irreparable consequences.

A hundred guards were quickly ready, and supplies such as food and fresh water were ready to go.

"Big brother, the soldiers are ready, let's go as soon as possible! That way, you can come back before dark. ”

Li Feiyu said.

Li An stepped onto the war horse, stretched out his hand, and said loudly: "Set off immediately, and rush back before dark." ”

The team of more than 100 people set off in such a majestic way, because there are no bandits in the local mountains, and the biggest threat is wild animals like leopards, and the threat of these guys is very low, and it is not enough to pose a threat to Li An, a person with strong combat strength, so there is no need to worry about danger at all, the biggest danger is to get lost, as long as you don't get lost, there will be no problems.

In addition, there are mountain springs and wild game in the mountains, so even if you get lost temporarily, you will not die of thirst and starvation, and there is enough food and water in the forest for people to survive.

However, in order to avoid getting lost in the forest, the compass must be carried, and there is no need to carry too much, it is enough to have three or five compasses, and there are horns that also need to be carried, so as to facilitate communication with each other, after all, it is impossible for a hundred people to stay together all the time, so that the movement is too large, and it is difficult to hit the prey.

Of course, you can also take the method of hunting, let a hundred people surround a forest, drive the prey in one direction, when driving the prey, if you use a horn, the effect of driving will be better, the prey hears the loud voice, instinctively will dodge, in this way, a soldier can be responsible for the driving area will be larger, so, a hundred soldiers, can drive a wider range of prey, so that Li An can hunt as much as he wants, otherwise, if Li An is expected to go to the wild alone to find prey, That's too difficult, and the effect of hunting won't be too good, just like ordinary hunters, not every time you go into the mountains you can catch prey, and there are not many chances to catch a lot of prey at a time, unless there are a lot of prey in that place, and the number of hunters is very small, it is possible to get a lot of prey every time you hunt.

Since ancient times, when the royal hunting, the use of this means of hunting, because only by taking this method, can a large number of prey appear in a short period of time, so as to facilitate a large number of royal family members to hunt to their heart's content, if the nobles themselves go to the ravine to find, it will be too troublesome, and the depth of the forest is unknown, it is not allowed to go too deep, hunting prey in a relatively open place, is a real enjoyment.

A group of people rode horses along the mountain path, anyway, there was nothing urgent, and they came out to enjoy it, and it was also a very good enjoyment to enjoy the scenery while riding horses.

"The scenery here is still very nice! So many coconut trees, and dense bushes. ”

Ang Lee spoke as he rode his horse.

Li Feiyu nodded and said: "What the eldest brother said is that the mountain scenery here is indeed good, but the entire peninsula does not occupy much area with such good scenery, most of the places are deserts, and when the wind blows, people's eyes can't be opened." ”

"No matter what the whole peninsula is, as long as the scenery here is good, the climate here is so good, it is very suitable for the development of super-large cities, the timber here can provide a steady stream of timber resources for the port town, and the stones on the mountain can also be used as building materials, and there is farmland where the terrain is slightly flat, it is a good place!"

Li An said.

In any case, wherever there are mountains, rivers and fields, it is a good place, this kind of place is always much stronger than the desert area, the desert is barren with machines, except for the sand and the resources that the ground may have, there is no basic resources for human survival, and where there are mountains, water, animals and plants, it is the land of fish and rice for people.

"Big brother, we've been walking for an hour in a row, and we're thirsty! Let's drink some water first! ”

Li Feiyu himself was a little thirsty, so he thought that Li An must also be thirsty.

Li An looked up and saw a few tall coconut trees in front of him, so he pointed to these coconut trees and said, "Save the water!" We drink coconut water. ”

"Okay, so much coconut water, enough for everyone."

Li Feiyu rode his horse and led the way in front of the team.

"These coconut trees are so tall! Do you know how to climb trees? ”

Li Feiyu said.

He himself can climb trees, but he is now a general, and climbing trees is too faceless after all, so he naturally refuses to climb trees and pick coconuts himself.

Among these guards, there are many who can climb trees, but there are not too many who are better at climbing trees.

Soon several thin men ran up, ready to show off their skills.

"It's just a coconut pick, where you need to climb a tree so troublesomely, just shoot it with a bow and arrow."

Li An smiled slightly, bent his bow and arrow, and aimed at a large, round coconut.

"Big brother, the coconut is too tall, if you shoot the coconut out, it won't be good."

Li Feiyu looked at the tall coconut and spoke.

Li An glanced at him and said: "Feiyu, your archery skills are better than mine, you don't have confidence in shooting a coconut, or do you think that the eldest brother's skills are not good, only you can shoot down." ”

"Big brother, these coconuts are not one by one, they are all gathered together, shooting the big coconuts that are ripe on the outside will inevitably destroy the small coconuts inside, if you want to shoot the big coconuts on the outside without destroying the small coconuts inside, this is really difficult."

Li Feiyu said.

Li An felt that what Li Feiyu said made some sense, but he had already taken aim, so he couldn't put away his bow and arrows! There is a saying that there is no turning back when the bow is opened, since everything is ready, if the shooting is temporarily canceled, it will be too faceless, besides, Li An still has a way.

"What's the matter with destroying a few unripe coconuts, besides, I naturally have a way to deal with it, so I'll see it."

Ang Lee aimed at the largest coconut, however, it was not the root of the coconut that was aimed at, but the middle of the coconut, so that the probability of hitting the coconut would be greatly increased, and as for shooting through the coconut fruit, Ang Lee was naturally sure that it would not lead to such a result.

"Whoosh......"

Li An's archery skills are still very good, he shot down a coconut very accurately, and the arrow shaft also fell, and it did not hurt the rest of the coconuts, everything was perfect, which made Li Feiyu and the others next to him a little dumbfounded.

"Big brother, it's really a god, you can do this."

Li Feiyu looked at Li An with great envy, and suddenly, he felt that Li An's archery skills were better than him, and the soldiers next to him were even more surprised, sighing that Li An's archery skills were so clever.

"Come on, bring the coconut fruit and the arrow shaft."

Li An ordered with a smile.

Soon, a huge coconut and the arrow shaft that Ang Lee had used just now were all taken.

"Big brother, you broke the arrow, no wonder you shot down the coconut fruit so accurately, but didn't damage the rest of the coconuts, hahaha!"

Li Feiyu immediately understood everything, and admired Li An's shrewdness in his heart.

This is a pediatric technique, ripe coconut fruit is not very stable, so it does not take too much effort to shoot it down, and if you don't break the arrow, it is easy to shoot the arrow into the inside of the coconut fruit, and as long as the arrow is removed, the coconut fruit will not be destroyed by the arrow.

And Li An's removal of the arrow was operated by one hand, very quickly, and was not seen by Li Feiyu and most of the soldiers, so they naturally didn't know about this situation.

"Li Shilang, where does it take such trouble to get a coconut fruit, just kick it over."

A burly soldier spoke.

"Well, that's a good idea, you try it."

Ang Lee appreciated the soldier very much, and this method seemed to be more convenient, but it was slightly dangerous.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

The soldier opened his mouth to warn the rest of his companions, then kicked him violently, and after a kick, quickly ran away.

With a bang, with the violent shaking of the trunk of the coconut tree, five or six huge coconuts fell from the top of the tree and slammed into the ground.

"Haha! It's better to do this! Five or six fell down as soon as you stepped down, come, just use this method to get more coconuts, and the soldiers can drink as much as they want. ”

Li An felt that this method was the best, although there was a certain amount of danger, but the agility and equipment of the soldiers under his command were very good, as long as he was a little careful, nothing would happen.

More than a dozen strong soldiers began to work together, and suddenly, coconuts kept falling from the sky overhead, but fortunately, the soldiers were very clever and did not hit any of them.

"Big brother, it should be almost, it is estimated that there are two hundred."

Li Feiyu picked up the two largest ones, gave one to Li An, and kept one for himself.

While Li An drank coconut water, he let the soldiers drink it casually, and he was full enough to hunt.

There is also a technique for drinking coconut water, and those who can't drink it will lose all the coconut water in it, and in the end they won't be able to drink much, and the little that they can drink will not be wasted.

Many people who don't know about coconuts, after buying fresh coconuts, will use experience to cut them with a knife, just like cutting watermelon, so of course it is not possible.

There are three small holes at one end of the leaf, and this is the weakest part of the coconut shell, just poke it in with chopsticks and insert a straw.

Of course, if you don't have a straw, you can also pour out the coconut juice inside, which will be more enjoyable.

However, because the mouth is too small, it will definitely be more laborious when pouring coconut water, because there is no air in it, it is difficult to pour out the coconut water smoothly and quickly, the best way is to make one more hole, one hole is used to pour coconut water, and the other hole is used to replenish air, so that the speed of pouring coconut water will be greatly accelerated, and all the coconut water in the coconut fruit can be poured out soon.

Li An casually broke an arrow shaft, poked two large holes in the weak part of the coconut fruit, and then poured all the coconut juice inside into the jade bowl he carried.

Although it is good and convenient to drink directly to the mouth, Ang Lee still likes to pour out the coconut water to drink, because the color of the coconut water is milk-colored, and it is very beautiful when poured into the jade bowl, giving people a feeling of enjoying it very much, and the urge to drink it will make the drinking process more pleasant.

The soldiers naturally will not have such treatment, they can only choose to drink to the mouth, and they can't just break the arrow shaft to open a hole in the coconut fruit, they use the branches on the side of the road, the function is the same, so it is more frugal, if everyone uses the arrow shaft, it is a waste of military resources, it is intolerable.

"Smack......

Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, a coconut fruit fell from the coconut tree and landed at the feet of a soldier, who jumped to the side in fright.

Coconut fruit falls from the tree at any time, and you can fall whenever you want, so staying under the coconut tree for a long time is a very dangerous thing, and if you are unlucky, you will be hit by the coconut fruit.

"Almost, get out of here, don't stay under the coconut trees."

Li An opened his mouth and ordered the soldiers to stay away from the coconut tree for a distance, at least not to stand under the coconut tree, any tree can enjoy the shade, but the coconut tree cannot be used for the shade, because so many large coconuts may fall from the tree at any time, thus injuring the people under the tree.

The soldiers did not expect the coconut fruit to fall on its own, so they hurriedly left under the coconut tree in fright.

When the coconut fruit on the coconut tree falls, there is not much rule, such as when it is ripe, it will fall, it will fall when it is sick, and it will also fall when the trunk is short of water, and when the coconut fruit falls, it will not say hello in advance, and there will be no warning signals, so it is a very dangerous thing to stay under the coconut tree, and it is possible to be hit by the coconut fruit at any time, and with the coconut fruit as big, once it is hit, it will definitely hurt a lot, especially if the head is hit by the coconut fruit, the consequences will be more serious. Even losing a small life is not a problem.
