Mr. Lu, who lived in the tree house next door, felt sour. He hugged his wife and hummed: "You are so bad! You will forget your old love when you have a new one!"
Xu Suizhu punched him funny: "What are you talking about! That's your father-in-law!"
"That's true." Mr. Lu no longer thought about his son, hugging his mother and lying down on the pine-scented wooden couch.
Since encountering the tornado, today must be the happiest day for everyone: first they discovered the island, and then they discovered that the only resident on the island is actually the biological father of the child's mother, ugh!
Wait! Did he not say anything bad about his father-in-law before he recognized his wife? Although he was a little defensive at first, he didn't offend anyone with his words, right?
Well, probably not! Those words like "poke that guy's eyes out" were just kept in my mind and not said out loud. I'm glad, glad! That's so good!
"Daughter-in-law, let's celebrate!"
"How to celebrate?" Xu Suizhu's eyelids began to twitch under his gentle caress, and she asked in a daze, "Will you defrost the beef eye and fry the steak tomorrow?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man beside him laughed happily.
"Why wait until tomorrow? You can fry it now! Do you prefer frying it on one side or on both sides?"
Teacher Xu, who was too sleepy to open his eyes: "???"
It took her a while to realize: Baozi Daddy's fried steak was completely different from what she thought!
This guy just treated her like a steak!
In a treehouse two or three meters above the ground, she was being rolled over and over, a bit like she was frying beef ribs.
Xu Zi threw himself into the trap and Suizhu said: Boss, I suspect you are driving but I have no evidence.
What evidence do you need? Phew! It’s obvious! When the movement is too loud, the whole tree house creaks.
Xu Suizhu was so embarrassed that she pushed his chest in protest: "Be gentle!" Aren't you afraid of being heard by everyone? Asshole!
The next second she was kissed so hard that she fainted.
In a daze, he was really worried that the tree house that his father-in-law had worked so hard to build would collapse...
Fortunately, the rain gradually picked up.
The fine rain curtain is like a natural soundproof wall, swallowing up all noise.
Until the night passes...
It rained all night and finally stopped at dawn.
Mrs. Lu and her husband were short of sleep and got up at five o'clock.
After the rain stopped, I saw Xu Tiejun picking mushrooms in the forest carrying a basket made of vines and coconut shells. He also came down to pick mushrooms together: "My dear, aren't there many wild mushrooms that are poisonous? How do you tell them apart?"
"At first I didn't dare to eat them randomly, but then I saw some flying insects sitting on the mushrooms and chewing on them. I thought they were not poisonous, so I picked these kinds of mushrooms." Xu Tiejun said optimistically, "The same goes for wild fruits. Don't look at the forest.
There are so many fruit trees in the wild, many of which even birds dare not peck at. Even if they are not poisonous, eating them will do no good."
He didn't say that when he first came here, he didn't know how to distinguish between poisonous fruits and accidentally ate the poisonous fruit, which caused intestinal colic. It was not life-threatening at all, but he didn't dare to pick and eat it casually after that.
"Grandpa!"
The little buns also woke up, lying on the tree house and shouting: "Grandpa, I want to pick mushrooms too!"
"Grandpa, come and carry you down!"
Xu Tiejun strode to the tree house, climbed the long ladder back and forth a few steps, and transferred the children from the tree house to the ground.
One person gave them a coconut shell basket and helped them identify edible mushrooms.
"This kind of mushroom is the tenderest and most delicious." Xu Tiejun said while picking the small gray umbrella mushrooms quickly, "But it only appears after the rain. As soon as the sun comes out and the temperature rises, it shrinks back."
"Then let's all pick more, dry them in the sun, and eat them on the road." Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
"I've stocked up on dried mushrooms. I'll pick them up later."
Everyone thought he said a lot, it was just a sack of food at most. Unexpectedly, when he opened the doors of the tree houses where food was stored, everyone was stunned:
The whole house... no! More than one! There are three tree houses, stocked with dried mushrooms, wild cassava, kudzu root and various dried fruits and wild vegetables.
Oh, there is also a tree house where stone knives, stone axes and other sundries are piled up, and the cantilevered beams are filled with salted fish and bacon.
"Dad, where did this meat come from?" Xu Suizhu asked casually while helping to pass the things.
Xianyu could understand that his father had made a fishing net with fine hemp vines, and caught some fish, shrimps and crabs from time to time. But salted meat was rare, and no prey was found on the island.
"It's bamboo rat and seabird meat." Xu Tiejun replied with a smile, "The fat boy brought it in his mouth."
The fat old cat who was named proudly puffed out his chest.
"Fat boy is so awesome!" The little bun ran over with bright eyes and stretched his hand along the fat old cat's back.
After a night of understanding, it seemed to understand: these species were the same as its owner, they were not invading enemies, and there was no threat. So he lay on the spot without dodging, letting the little bun's warm little hands smooth its hair.
.
"Snort! Snort!"
The drama turtle is having a taste of it.
He crawled to the feet of his little friend, held his head high and inserted it between the little bun and the fat old cat: "Turtles also need to have their fur smooth! Oh, turtles don't have hair, but they have backs, and turtles have to have their backs smooth!"
Little Baozi, who had no idea about it, happily shared his joy with his friends: "Blessing! Do you think Fat Boy is great? He can catch seabirds and bamboo rats! My grandpa said that the taste of bamboo rats is getting better and better.
It’s fragrant and tender, I’ll cook it for us to eat later!”
The Turtle: No! The turtle refuses! The turtle protests! The turtle doesn’t want to eat Lao Shizi bamboo rat meat, but the turtle just wants to eat it!
The fat old cat raised his eyes and rolled his eyes disdainfully at the hostile turtle.
The drama turtle was furious: "Snoring?"
He actually rolled his eyes at the turtle? Who has the courage of a dog... No, the courage of a cat!
"Meow!"
"Snoring?"
Let’s see who has the loudest voice. The tortoise is fearless!
"Purrrrrrr!"
"..." The fat old cat stood up lazily, shook its smooth black fur, and walked away with elegant cat steps.
The drama turtle happily lay down on the spot: The big stupid cat was scared away by the turtle! Friends, come and follow the turtle's back!
Unexpectedly, the little friend chased the fat old cat: "Grandpa Fatty gave me a lot of dried fish, let's eat together!"
Drama Turtle:......
There is no love in life.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone had a good time watching it.
Breakfast is delicious gray mushroom soup with soft and fragrant tree buns.
Only then did Xu Suizhu realize that the tree bun was actually monkey bread.
The baobab tree is full of treasures:
The young leaves can be used as vegetables, blanched and served cold, making them fresh and delicious;
The fruit juice is abundant and refreshing. When you feel sleepy, sucking a cup of baobab juice or chewing a bite of the pulp is more effective than drinking coffee;
The trunk of the tree is like a water storage bucket, which is loose and easy to store water. When you are thirsty, poke a hole in the trunk, and clear spring will gush out immediately;
The bark fiber is tough and can be used to twist ropes and weave cloth. The rattan ropes used by Xu Tiejun to build the tree house, the fishing nets, the "thin blankets" spread in the tree house, the vests worn on the body, etc. are all made of monkeys.
Bread made from tree bark.
Not only that, the fruits, leaves and bark are also medicinal materials, which have the effects of nourishing the stomach, promoting gallbladder, clearing heat and reducing swelling, and stopping bleeding and diarrhea.
When Xu Tiejun first arrived, his wounds were inflamed, he caught colds and had a fever... If he hadn't accidentally eaten the baobab, he would have died a long time ago. How could he have survived now?
