Chen Jie gathered a bunch of branches and started throwing them towards the fruits on the tree.
Xiao Baihe watched Chen Jie keep throwing branches, and imitating Chen Jie's example, he started to take the branches on the ground and throw them at the fruit.
The two people worked together and threw it in one direction. Sure enough, Huangtian paid off and a fruit was hit and rolled down from the tree.
"Yeah, I finally hit it." Xiao Baihe jumped up excitedly.
Chen Jie also smiled, raised his legs and walked towards the fruit.
Chen Jie picked up the fruit on the ground and observed it for himself.
This should be the baobab fruit. The pulp inside is very delicious. It is a delicacy that cannot be eaten on ordinary days.
"Captain, this is breadfruit." Xiao Baihe also saw breadfruit for the first time, and squeezed it curiously. It felt hard and looked nothing like bread.
"Yes, this is called baobab fruit. This fruit is very delicious and is also the favorite of baboons. We can eat this baobab fruit as our main food in the future. It will make us feel full."
Chen Jie explained to Xiao Baihe, found a relatively clean stone, placed it on it, picked up a smaller stone, and started to smash it.
After a few smashes, the baobab fruit was broken open, revealing the pulp inside. In fact, these fruits are rich in vitamin C and taste delicious, just like cheese.
"Try it and see how it tastes." Chen Jie handed the fruit in his hand to Xiao Baihe.
Xiao Baihe reached out to take the fruit handed over by Chen Jie and put it in her mouth. It tasted like dry cheese cake.
"This is so delicious. It feels like eating cheese." Xiao Baihe picked up a few more fruits and started to eat them. The more they chewed, the more delicious they became. It was so delicious that they couldn't stop eating.
Chen Jie watched Xiao Baihe eating happily and picked up some pulp to eat.
Soon one fruit was completely eaten.
"Captain, let's bring some more back. Yanyan must like to eat this." Xiao Baihe's mind was already filled with images of Chen Yanyan's excitement when she ate the breadfruit.
Chen Jie nodded, said hello, stood up, picked up the branches on the ground, and began to smash the fruits on the tree. Because the breadfruit tree was too tall, it took Chen Jie a long time to get seven or eight fruits.
If you eat regularly, you can last for a day or two.
Looking at the fruits on the ground, Xiao Baihe was in trouble.
I forgot to carry the bamboo basket when I went out today. How can I get it now?
"Why are you looking so sad? These breadfruit are enough for us to eat for a day or two." Chen Jie thought that Lily Xiao was worried about not having enough food.
"How are we going to get this back?" Xiao Baihe pointed to the breadfruit tree on the ground, feeling worried.
Chen Jie smiled and finally figured out what Xiao Baihe was worried about.
"Leave this kind of thing to me." After Chen Jie finished speaking, he walked towards the woods just now.
After a while, Chen Jie walked out of the woods. He had some canes in his hands, and something like a net bag gradually took shape in Chen Jie's hands.
Xiao Baihe breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Jie's actions. She had already known about Chen Jie's knitting skills, so she was not too shocked.
"It's done." Chen Jie looked at the simple mesh bag in his hand, put the breadfruit in it, and pulled the vines on both sides a little harder, and a mesh bag was created.
"Captain, your hands are more skillful than a woman's." Xiao Baihe sincerely admired him. Every time he saw Chen Jie, he was always like a robot cat, always able to conjure up what everyone needed.
"I just think you are complimenting me." Chen Jie smiled at Xiao Baihe, put the net bag on his body, led Xiao Baihe towards the unfamiliar road, and started exploring.
The two of them walked for a while, but there was nothing around except woods and not even a small river.
"Captain, I'm a little thirsty." Xiao Baihe looked at the sun above his head and felt that his throat was about to smoke.
Chen Jie also felt a little thirsty, looked around, walked to the coconut tree nearby, climbed up neatly, reached out to pluck the leaves from the top, and took down two more coconuts.
Fortunately, there are more coconut trees in this dense forest, which makes them feel more comfortable drinking. Otherwise, where would they go to find water at this time?
"Eat a coconut and make do with it." Chen Jie pried open the coconut neatly, handed one to Xiao Baihe, and started to drink it himself.
After drinking the coconut, the two of them rested for a while and watched the sky gradually become darker.
"Captain, look at the weather, it's not going to rain again, right?" Xiao Baihe frowned, thinking about how embarrassed he was because of the heavy rain before, and felt a little worried.
"I don't know. To be on the safe side, let's go back first." Chen Jie also noticed the change in the sky and sighed mentally.
It seems that it is the rainy season, otherwise the recent rains would not be so intensive.
Basically it will rain every other day.
The two of them started on their way. After more than an hour, they still couldn't find the direction home.
The sky has completely darkened, and the sky that was clear just a moment ago has now been obscured by dark clouds.
"Captain, are we lost?" Xiao Baihe looked at the scenery in front of her. It was completely different from the island she was on before, especially the big trees of different shapes, which she had never seen before.
"Yes, this should be the other side of the island." Chen Jie nodded and said what he was thinking. Although he didn't have a compass in his hand, he could see the position of the sun just now. He should be on the north side of the island now.
.
Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie as if he was telling a joke, frowned, and said nothing.
I don't want to cause trouble to the captain.
Chen Jie determined the direction for a while and finally decided to return the same way.
Taking Xiao Lily back to the previous pond, it started to rain lightly.
"Let's go back from here." Chen Jie pointed to the pool in front of him.
Xiao Baihe looked at the sky, nodded, and followed Chen Jie slowly into the pond.
"Take a deep breath."
The two of them took a deep breath at the same time and dived directly into the water. With Chen Jie leading the way, Xiao Baihe dived quite smoothly. Looking at the many fish around him, Chen Jie reached out and grabbed a few fish and stuffed them into his pocket.
inside.
Because of the current, the two people easily swam past the mouth of the water, and the two people surfaced.
Although Xiao Baihe was breathing a little at this time, it was not as severe as last time, as if she was used to the pressure under water.
"Wait for me here, don't move." After Chen Jie said that, he plunged into the water again.
"Captain..." Xiao Baihe shouted subconsciously, but couldn't get any answer from Chen Jie.
