Chapter 117 Black Peas

In the early morning, the birds chirping can be heard endlessly.

Su Meng sighed, slowly opened her eyes, and then felt extremely sore all over her body, especially the waist and ankles, which were still burning with pain.

"Are you awake?" The moment she opened her eyes, Du Jiayue's voice full of surprise came from beside the bed.

Su Meng's mind has not yet come to her senses, and she looks a little dazed.

"You suddenly had a high fever last night. Fortunately, Su Xiang prepared enough herbs." Du Jiayue helped Su Meng twist the sleeping bag: "Do you want to sleep longer?"

"No, I feel better." The memory slowly came back, Su Meng recalled what happened last night, she got out of her sleeping bag and began to dress: "Jiayue, thank you for taking care of me last night, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, why are you talking about this? You have been taking care of us since we came to this island. Now that we finally have the chance to take care of you, we won't feel so hard." Du Jiayue looked at Su with a smile. Meng, handed over the steaming peppermint tea in her hand: "Drink some peppermint tea, it's good for your health."

"Thank you." Su Meng took the pottery cup and drank it in small sips: "By the way, are we running out of food?"

The smile on Du Jiayue's face froze, but she didn't answer the question directly: "Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, Bo Jing and the others have already gone hunting, so you should rest in the camp and don't think so much."

In the jungle, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing were walking cautiously on the path to the small grassland.

At this time, the sky was getting bright, and the dew fell off with a cold air, which wet a lot of their pants in a short while.

"We must save some arrows for later, and take them back as much as possible. After all, we only have two now." Zhang Lin walked in the front, turning his head to remind Su Xiang and Bai Jing from time to time.

Su Xiang originally wanted to go ahead to open the way, but Zhang Lin said that he was the youngest and it was not safe to go ahead, so he insisted on placing him in the middle.

For such an arrangement, Su Xiang could only accept it helplessly, who made him just a minor who had just turned 16 years old.

However, he did not relax his vigilance just because he was in a safe middle position. Instead, he checked all the available resources around him more carefully.

Even if they have traveled this path several times, what if they still find new resources available?

After arriving on the grass, Zhang Lin was the first to discover a pheasant pawing the soil.

He pointed to the pheasant, and motioned Su Xiang and Bo Jing to lighten their footsteps and breathe lightly. Seeing that they nodded to show their understanding, he tiptoedly took the bow from behind.

Seeing that the wooden arrow was taken out from the arrow basket at his waist, and placed on the bamboo bow, he took aim, adjusted his posture, held his breath, and let go of the fingers that hooked the bowstring.

"call out!"

The arrow flew out and smoothly inserted into the grass next to the pheasant.

The pheasant was frightened and flew up with flapping wings, but after only flying a short distance, it continued to scrape the dirt.

"Look at me." Bai Jing said silently, and after finishing speaking, he bent his bow and set his arrow deftly. He is very confident in his own arrow skills. You must know that he is the most accurate among the four, and he can get it right out of ten times. Hit the bullseye once.

I don't know if the pheasant was prepared this time, and it flapped its wings and flew to the other side when the arrow just left the string.

The arrow missed again.

Bai Jing uttered a low, classic curse: "Fuck, I used to see that Su Meng's hunting was quite easy."

Su wanted to raise the corners of his mouth, and the second illness broke out again: "Hmph, look at this young master."

After a while, Bo Jing picked up the arrow and put it back into the arrow basket: "Let's give up hunting wild animals with arrows. If you ask me, the three of us will directly form a circle. I don't believe we can't catch it like this." it."

Zhang Lin and Su Xiang sighed in unison: "All right, I will do as you say."

So, the three of them opened their hands, half bowed their waists, formed a triangle shape, and gradually approached the pheasant.

As the encirclement narrowed, the pheasant also seemed to feel threatened. It began to feel uneasy, fluttering its wings, but didn't know where to fly.

"It's now!" Bo Jing suddenly shouted.

After a while of flying around, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing held the little heads full of grass clippings and dirt, hugged the struggling pheasant, and smiled like children.

"This pheasant weighs at least three catties." Bo Jing said confidently. The success of this hunting seems to have opened up his two channels of Ren and Du, and it also reminded him of some interesting things in his childhood.

"Let's go, I'll take you to dig out the pheasant nest." Bai Jing tied the pheasant with a rope, put it in the sack, and began to search along the bushes.

He remembered that pheasants like to build their nests in dense grass or bushes.

However, after the three of them searched carefully for more than two hours, they didn't even find a pheasant nest, let alone a pheasant nest.

Just when Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing were about to give up and go back home, Zhang Lin suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Look, is that a bean pod?"

"Bean pods? How can there be bean pods on the island?" Su Xiang and Bo Jing looked in the direction Zhang Lin pointed, and saw several clusters of different bushes growing in the bushes. The trunk of the tree has a crown of branches with oval smooth leaves on the top, and pods that are half the size of a palm and have a brown-black shell are hanging on it.

"Moreton Bay chestnuts?" Su Xiang couldn't believe it. He walked quickly to the bushes, picked a pod and opened it, revealing six brown fruits neatly arranged inside.

Zhang Lin and Bo Jing also came up together, and they looked at the pod in Su Xiang's hand, very surprised: "This pod is so big, the beans inside are even bigger than a chestnut, no wonder it's called a magic chestnut."

"Since it's called a chestnut, it should be edible, right?" Bai Jing swallowed, his eyes fixed on the chestnut-shaped bean.

Su Xiang rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "It's Moreton Bay chestnut, also known as black bean. The roots and beans are poisonous. Symptoms of poisoning after taking it include but are not limited to abdominal pain, dizziness, vomiting and diarrhea. Just take Half a seed can get you in the hospital."

Speaking of seeds, he pointed to the bean that was similar to a chestnut but bigger than a chestnut: "This is the seed of the black bean."

After hearing that not only was it inedible, but also that the toxicity was so strong, Zhang Lin and Bo Jing immediately lost interest and got up to walk back with their backs on their backs.

Seeing this, Su wanted to stop them immediately: "This is a good thing, we have to pick it all back."

"Why, could it be that this is still a herbal medicine? But even if it is medicine, we don't need to take it all back. Our first task is to hunt and find edible food." Although Bai Jing was a little puzzled, he still squatted down to help pick together black beans.

Su Xiang smiled mysteriously, and said, "Although castor is indeed a good medicinal material, its leaves can reduce swelling, remove toxins, and treat eczema and itching. Tetanus, etc., but what we need now is its fruit, the black bean."
