Episode 20: Green dates, coconut crabs!
In front of you........
A tree!
A fruit tree!
What appeared in front of Cheng Fei's eyes was a very tall fruit tree, about ten meters high, with a thick trunk and lush branches, almost every branch was full of fruits, and even some branches were bent over because they couldn't bear the fruits.
"Green dates!"
If it is a rare fruit tree, Cheng Fei may not really recognize it, but he is very familiar with the green jujube tree, because there is a green jujube tree in the yard of his hometown!
It was also a tall jujube tree, although it was not as tall as the one in front of him, at least six or seven meters tall, and it was said that his grandfather planted it with his own hands in the year he was born.
Play under the tree, go up the tree to dig out the bird's nest, pick dates........ In his childhood memories, there are many happy and happy times, all related to the green jujube tree, although it has been a long time, but now looking back, that yellowing time, but still vivid, very clear.
The jujube tree in front of him, in terms of meaning, is naturally inferior to the one in the courtyard of his hometown, but the fruit hanging on the branches has another familiar temptation, which makes Jiang Chen's subconscious index finger move.
The verdant dates, the size of an adult's thumb, are slightly yellowed at the bottom, one by one, and the branches are hung full, and the jujube tree is tall enough, otherwise, the bent branches will have to hang down to the ground.
"It's ........ What a bonus!"
Although no wild boar was hunted, this tree full of green dates is not bad.
Speaking of which, Cheng Fei has been on this island for twenty days, and in addition to the coconut and a handful of bananas that he accidentally got when he first entered the mountain forest, this is the third fruit he has found.
Clams, conch, eels, wild boars and even crocodiles, although these are all good foods, but fruits, are also very important, eat more fruits, can supplement the human body missing many trace elements, make the human body healthier, so as to avoid the occurrence of many diseases.
In fact, Yi Cheng Fei's body is now stronger than that of a cow, even if it is not to the extent that it is immune to all diseases, it is not far off, and a large part of the reason why he is so happy is because he is greedy.
Stepping forward, Cheng Fei stretched out his hand and gently stroked the trunk of the tree, which was very thick, the thickness of an adult's waist, and the bark was very old, as strong as a dragon.
Standing under the tree, he raised the wooden spear and tried to make a few strokes, but unfortunately, with his height of more than one meter and seven meters and the wooden spear of less than three meters, it could only reach half of the tree, except for the end of the lowest few branches, it was impossible to reach the lush branches that were already full of jujubes.
"It's ........ It's embarrassing. ”
Cheng Fei's face was full of laughter and tears, it seems that now he not only needs a longer stick, but also needs to grow twenty centimeters taller immediately, uh, this seems to be a bit difficult.
Although he has been strengthened twice, whether it is a junior martial artist enhancement liquid or a battle heaven qi, although he has the ability to strengthen his body and enhance his strength, he alone cannot make people grow taller.
"Looks like we're going to have to use something special!"
A person is in a different position, has a different perspective on things, and naturally has different ways to encounter things and solve problems.
If it was in the past, as an ordinary person, Cheng Fei would have honestly gone to find a long stick, or move a stone to step on, or climb a tree directly, but now?
While the corners of Cheng Fei's mouth outlined a hint of a smile, he saw a deep sigh in his mouth, raised his hand, raised his arm, and suddenly slammed his palm, whistling with the wind, and slammed it on the trunk.
"Bang!"
With a dull loud explosion, although the jujube tree was thick, it couldn't withstand Cheng Fei's heavy palm, and suddenly the tree trembled, shook violently, and the green jujube on the branches was like rain, sprinkled one after another.
"Crackling ........."
It's really like it's raining, date rain!
At this moment, Cheng Fei was standing under the tree, in the most dense place of the jujube rain, and for a while, at least dozens of jujubes fell down, however, what was amazing was that from beginning to end, not a single date hit his body.
Ming Jin's Bagua Palm is not a vegetarian, coupled with Jiang Chen's far beyond ordinary people's physique, the moment the jujube fell down, he had already quickly made the most sensitive dodge. If it was a powerful firearm or a hidden weapon issued by a master, he might not be able to dodge, but a few dates!
"Huh!"
With a chuckle, Jiang Chen stretched out his hand, caught a green jujube that fell from the tree with great precision, wiped it slightly, brought it to his mouth, opened his mouth and bit it gently:
"Click!"
Suddenly, a stream of rich juice burst in the mouth, not as sweet as expected, and even, it was relatively sour, but it was sweet and sour, and it tasted delicious.
"Not bad!"
In such an environment, being able to eat decent fruits is a very good thing in itself, not to mention, this wild green jujube tastes really good.
Cheng Fei solved the green jujube in his hand in two bites, spit out a jujube core, and then began to pick up the jujube that fell on the ground. Just now, his strength was very heavy, and the entire jujube tree was shaken, and a lot of jujubes fell, scattered on the ground, and they could be seen everywhere, at least hundreds.
"What a bonus!"
Cheng Fei picked up the dates that fell on the ground one by one, and soon there were a lot of them, and he had to take off his shirt and act as a package, just like that, he still had to give up part of the harvest and only take most of the green dates to embark on the way back.
"Looks like we're going to have to go vegetarian tonight. ”
Although he was helpless, Cheng Fei had to accept the reality, because when he returned to the shelter from the mountains and forests, the sun had already begun to set, and there was only less than half an hour left before it got dark.
What can you do in half an hour?
Hunting is no longer possible, after all, although Cheng Fei is far stronger than ordinary people, his hunting skills are not very smart, and it is impossible to complete a rapid and effective hunt within half an hour.
"Let's go pick some coconuts!"
After a little consideration, Cheng Fei made a decision, and he found that there were no more coconuts stored in the shelter, although he now had sufficient fresh water resources, but in comparison, he still preferred delicious coconut water.
The coconut grove is the place he goes to most often, and he is familiar with the way, Cheng Fei soon arrived, most of the coconuts on the low trees in the forest have been picked by him, and now, he can only pick fruits from those tall coconut trees.
However, this obviously did not bother him.
Before, before it was strengthened, he had cut a hardwood long enough to grow, and after the first strengthening, he was strong enough to climb the tall coconut trees with speed and agility, but now, it's even simpler.
Just like picking dates before, Cheng Fei spotted a coconut tree, and directly hit the trunk with a palm, and suddenly, the tree trembled, shook violently, and the coconuts hanging on the tree immediately fell off.
"Damn, I'm flashing!"
Coconuts are not dates, the big ones can be smashed down and can kill people on the spot, and there are many people who die because of this every year, even if it is a strong man like Cheng Fei, he is never willing to take a hit, so he hurriedly dodged and retreated.
One, two, three......... Seven, seven coconuts, crackling and falling to the ground, uh......... It seemed that there was an unexpected gain, Cheng Fei looked at it, and what caught his eye was a huge crab.
"Could it be that this is the legendary coconut crab?!"
Looking at the big crab the size of a basin in front of him and a pair of huge front chelas, Cheng Fei was stunned, this coconut grove is not the first time he has come, but it is the first time he has seen this creature, please forgive his ignorance, although he has heard of it, but he has never seen it, he really doesn't know this big guy, and he doesn't know how to catch it, but the other party just sent it to the door by himself, this is really ..........
It's fate!
