After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

Since the rain has stopped, there is no need to build a covered shelter.

In order to ensure that sitting on the ground will not be contaminated by all kinds of strange bugs.

Everyone also cut down many banyan tree aerial roots to serve as a "platform" laid on the ground.

After the cutting was completed, the exhausted girls all sat down to rest, while Zhang Liu squatted next to him and pounded the two pieces of pyrite in his hands.

Along with the tapping sound of "ta da da da", sparks continued to fall from the knocking point of the pyrite, but because the surrounding humidity was too high, the sparks were quickly extinguished.

He was not in a hurry, and just silently let the sparks blacken the bamboo powder used as fire debris.

This time, Zhang Liu was determined to make a fire.

Even if you mix it well with water, you can eat the taro powder smoothly.

But if you can take a sip of something hot and use a fire to dry yourself a little.

Neither he nor the girls next to him would mind.

When Zhang Liu successfully lit the fire and built the pot rack, he began to pour rainwater and taro powder into the small alloy pot to boil.

Qin Ruoyan, who had finished her rest and got up to walk around the shelter, had made a new discovery.

"Is this... a cinchona tree?"

Stepping forward and looking at the tree in front of her, Qin Ruoyan seriously thought about the medicinal materials knowledge she had learned before.

Usually the height is about six meters...

The bark should be grey-brown and appear to be thin overall, giving it the appearance of many shallow cracks.

Leaves are textured or thinly leathery.

It usually has three shapes: oblong-lanceolate, elliptical-oblong or lanceolate, and the top is blunt or sparsely pointed.

The base of the former is tapered or short-pointed, while the latter is hairless on both sides or sometimes has sparse pubescence underneath...

After comparing it bit by bit, she broke off a bit with her fingers and put it in her mouth. Feeling the bitter but not astringent taste, she gradually became certain of the answer.

The dozens of deciduous trees mixed in among the banyan trees in front of me are definitely cinchona trees!

And its bark can provide important substances such as quinine!

To know.

Malaria is the number one killer of diseases in the forest, and quinine is its nemesis.

But now Qin Ruoyan suddenly remembered another function of quinine.

That is it can increase uterine contractions, which can then lead to... induction of labor.

Fingers grazing the bark.

Her eyes were hesitant.

After taking a gentle breath, Qin Ruoyan abandoned this really terrifying thought in her mind.

Swinging the half-meter-long machete in her hand, she chopped off several pieces of bark and brought them back to a simple camp built by the aerial roots of banyan trees.

"There is a cinchona tree here. I peeled off some bark and came back." Walking to Zhang Liu, Qin Ruoyan took the initiative to show the bark in her hand to him, and then said with a smile on her face: " In the future, it can be used to treat malaria or some dermatitis and ringworm."

"Well, I've heard of this. It's said to be a miracle medicine..."

Zhang Liu didn't know the specific appearance of the cinchona tree.

But he was still impressed by this particularly famous medical plant.

At this moment, looking at the handful of finely chopped tree bark handed over by Qin Ruoyan, Zhang Liu asked, "Can I have a taste of that?"

His understanding of the bark of the cinchona tree is that it tastes very bitter, because in the story in the textbook, the Indians found that the water was very bitter, and then discovered that the bark of the cinchona tree was responsible.

As Qin Ruoyan nodded in agreement, Zhang Liu also picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth to chew and taste.

"so bitter……"

After chewing for a few times, when the astringent taste of wood on his tongue completely subsided, a mask of pain suddenly appeared on his face.

This thing is just like what the story says, the bark has a bitter taste...

Noticed the interaction between Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoyan.

The other girls gave up their rest and came to her side and began to look at this magical bark.

Everyone has seen the introduction of this kind of bark from textbooks.

The bark of the cinchona tree is not easy to peel.

Although Qin Ruoyan chopped it several times, she only brought back a portion the size of her palm, and the largest piece was the size of a finger.

After obtaining consent, the girls also tasted this "tropical magic medicine"

Looking at the bitter expressions on everyone's faces.

In line with the concept that we are all sisters and share hardships together, Qin Ruoyan also put a small piece into her mouth again in public.

Then she savored the bitter taste in her mouth and said, "I'm going to take some with me when I go back, and then everyone can take some with them too, right?"

There was no answer. Compared to the eldest lady of the Qin family, who had a strong resistance to various odors because she had been eating Chinese medicine since she was a child, all the girls were grinning and sticking out their tongues together with Zhang Liu.

After a while, Anya, who was the first to taste it, was also the first to calm down.

Looking at Qin Ruoyan, there is still more than half of the cinchona tree bark in her hand.

After hesitating for a while, she suggested: "I remember the book said this stuff can cure malaria and so on, so why don't we put it in and cook it together?"

Everyone, including Zhang Liu, showed expressions of pain and rejection.

Chapter 349 Su Yan’s research on how to ejaculate faster

"Eating this in the stomach may cause abnormalities in the uterus... To put it simply, eating too much is harmful to girls. Let's not eat indiscriminately."

Just in case, Qin Ruoyan did not dare to say that the bark of the cinchona tree has the effect of inducing labor.

So she added in a vague tone: "After all, it is medicine that is only three parts poisonous. Just get some and save them for emergencies."

Everyone nodded in recognition of the professional advice given by Qin Ruoyan, the team doctor.

Anya also obediently put away any thoughts of eating more to prevent illness.

Fine bubbles appeared along with the taro flour paste in the alloy pot.

A simple lunch also started.

Although it is not enough to eat and drink.

But my mouth had eaten the bark of the cinchona tree beforehand and it was constantly bitter.

This taro powder paste made the girls taste the sweetness after drinking it...

As a reward for Anya opening the way yesterday.

After finishing lunch, Zhang Liu also cut a section from his sausage ration, roasted it on the fire and handed it to the other party.

However, Anya did not eat it alone, but evenly divided it into nine small pieces.

In her words, this is a team effort, so it must be shared together.

Compared to others who say thank you, accept it happily, and then start tasting.

Zhou Fang and Zhang Liu silently looked at the small piece of sausage in their hands, and then couldn't help but reveal a rather kind "aunt smile" on their faces.

The same thought came to both of their minds at this moment.

That is this girl who used to be arrogant and tough-tongued, but now she has really grown up.

"crunch...crunch..."

Chewing the hot and sizzling grilled sausage in her mouth, Anya was a little confused by the two people's eyes and felt a little scared in her heart.

But she didn't have the nerve to ask...

After eating the grilled sausage as a final replenishment of energy.

One man and eight women finished cleaning up and then set out on the road again.

At the same time, Song Shuyao and Zhao Yiran had already started taking a bath at the top of the mountain.

"Well... so comfortable..."

Song Shuyao was standing naked under the waterfall.

Feel the comfortable feeling brought by the water impact massage on your shoulders.

She couldn't help but moan beautifully.

Zhao Yiran had already taken off all her clothes and soaked in the pool.

But when her eyes fell on Song Shuyao, she immediately felt something was wrong.

After careful observation, Zhao Yiran asked with confusion on his face: "Shu Yao, why are the hairs on your side all pointing in the same direction?"

Although it is more shameful, the hair on a certain part of a girl's hair, although there is a certain pattern, can also be messy.

But now Song Shuyao was moving down extremely softly.

If Zhao Yiran was asked to give an adjective, it would probably be like being permed and straightened...

She and Song Shuyao had taken baths together several times before, but at that time they would only get naked together after taking a milk bath or a hot spring.

If it was just a simple bath in clean water, this would be the first time for the two of them.

So now Zhao Yiran is extremely curious about the direction of her friend's hair.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Song Shuyao, who was about to spread her hands and enjoy the waterfall massage all over her body, immediately closed her hands and covered her lower body.

Under Zhao Yiran's confused gaze.

In the end, she explained in a hesitant voice: "I like swimming, right? In order to avoid the unsightly appearance of strands coming out, I had to style it."

After saying this, Song Shuyao was already blushing.

And his two fingers were still moving around his lower abdomen, as if trying to mess up his styled hair.

But under the impact of the waterfall's water flow, her action was destined to be in vain.

"Hahahahaha..." Before Song Shuyao finished her explanation, Zhao Yiran was already laughing so hard that she rolled crazily in the pool.

"You guy!" Song Shuyao yelled and pounced directly towards the opponent...

When Zhao Yiran and Song Shuyao played in the pool, finished taking a bath, and started to collect taro on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Liu and others had also walked quite some distance into the forest.

When it rains, there is only the sound of rain in the whole forest.

When the rain stopped, it was completely silent.

But after stopping for a while.

With the first bird call, the forest seemed to wake up.

From time to time, a bird the size of a pigeon flutters its wings above the banyan tree.

Probably because the moisture content in the air has decreased, some small insects have begun to fly between the trees.

Their appearance just provides a chicken-flavored protein meal for various birds.

Seeing this lively scene, the girls all showed happy smiles.

Although I don't like the various insects flying around.

But they hate the silent forward environment even more.

After looking at the dense green birds on the banyan tree several times, Su Yan, who was at the end of the line, silently walked to the front of the line.

"Zhang Liu, can you stop for a moment?" As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Zhang Liu, who was using an alloy pipe to push aside the bushes to open a way.

Then she continued: "I want to shoot a few birds down for dinner at night."

"Okay! I'll help you get the book basket. Do you want to take a rest first?" Zhang Liu stopped and nodded, highly approving of Su Yan's suggestion.

And he was very attentive in removing the bookshelf from the other party's back.

"It's okay, leave it to me!"

Su Yan suddenly felt joyful in her heart when Zhang Liu showed her sudden attentiveness.
