Stranded on a Deserted Island, What to Do?

The vegetation on the island is lush, full of palms and tree-like ferns, the plants are tall, and it is easy to lose sight of the sun when you go deep into the rainforest.

The road is indeed difficult to walk. In order to compete for sunlight, all kinds of plants occupy the space of the rainforest.Thanks to Bai Zhen who cleared a rough road when he came back, otherwise Hua Mu would have to suffer a lot.

But even so, the eldest lady has already complained endlessly.

The sea breeze on the beach and grass slopes is stronger, and there are naturally fewer insects.So even though Hua Mu was bitten occasionally after coming to the island, it was still within the tolerance range.In the past when he was looking for water sources, Baizhen looked for easier paths and moved faster. Hua Mu didn't suffer much, but this time it was different - she had already been bitten several times.

"Can you hurry up?"

But the white pillow that was carrying her didn't complain, Hua Mu couldn't tell why she was bitten badly by mosquitoes.

Bai Zhen didn't know what happened to his eldest daughter, so he thoughtfully said: "Hurry up, you may be scratched by the branches."

She would rather be scratched by a tree branch. It turns out that pain is not the most difficult thing, but itching is.After Hua Mu hesitated, he was bitten a few more times on his leg, and couldn't help kicking.

Bai Zhen finally realized something was wrong, and asked nervously, "Miss, have you been bitten by a bug?"

There was really no way to hide it anymore, Hua Mu hooked her hands and scratched her thigh, complaining, "It's so itchy."

Speaking of nudity, the white pillow wearing only a vest on the upper body is not much better than her, but Hua Mu saw that she seemed to be unaware of mosquitoes, so she couldn't help but wondered: "Aren't you going to be bitten? "

Bai Zhen turned Hua Mu upside down, and explained while speeding up: "I have set up a barrier. Miss, please pay attention to the branches, I will walk faster."

Concealment is a very important lesson for Sentry.Their barriers can not only block the interference of a large amount of useless information from the outside world, but also hide their own existence.

Hua Mu's teeth itched with jealousy, and she only cursed the convenience of the sentry in her heart.Guides naturally also have barriers, but they focus on mental protection.What's more, she is not only a half-guide, but also unable to disarm the guide suppressor, which is no different from ordinary people.

Once Bai Zhen quickened her pace, the degree of bumps inevitably increased, and Hua Mu had to hug her neck tightly.

Although it hasn't rained for more than ten days, and the water source they found before has basically dried up, the ground of the rainforest is still wet.There is almost no soil on the ground, and it is full of rotting plants and fallen leaves, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of action.

But the pace of the sentinel is still fast, except for some bumps, it is really difficult to find anything to criticize.

Gafly didn't let Hua Mu go, but Hua Mu couldn't care less about this—she was about to vomit.

Are you sure it's a sentinel carrying her and not a horse?

In this environment, the journey of five or six kilometers took Baizhen less than 10 minutes.

"Miss, we're here!"

Hua Mu could only bear with her eyes closed, and opened them as if she had been pardoned when she heard Bai Zhen's words.The scene in front of her made Hua Mu both happy and surprised, and even felt a little uneasy.

This is a large coconut grove. Although other plants are also growing, it is significantly different from the rainforest the two have seen these days.

There are palm plants all over the island, but the density of each species will not be much different.But the vegetation density in this forest is relatively small, and the species are more single.Qiaoben plants are mainly coconut palms, and it is rare to see other taller trees.

As for the middle and lower spaces, there are much fewer vines and shrubs than in the rainforest.

"Baizhen, have you checked how big this coconut grove is?"

Hua Mu had a vague idea in his heart.

"I roughly turned around, it should be about one hectare."

Bai Zhen wants to bring Hua Mu over, of course he must first confirm the safety of the surrounding area.Further east is another coastline, and it is much, much longer than where the two landed.She didn't go to investigate for the time being, but she has made up her mind to explore it when she has time.

A longer coastline means more food and resources, and more things that drift to the island.

"There are about two hundred coconut trees?"

"How do you know?"

Bai Zhen didn't specifically count it, but that's what the sentinel is good at, because the senses are too sharp, and many things are analyzed unconsciously.

Naturally, Hua Mu didn't have such skills, but he just asked a few more questions at the beginning.She has paid a lot of attention to her small island, from the decoration of the holiday villa to the greening and planting on the island.

Since it is a tropical island, coconut groves are naturally indispensable.She once asked the gardener about it, and the gardener also taught her how to plant coconut palms as cash crops.

Coconut trees are generally planted at a distance of seven or eight meters in squares, and seven or eight meters in rectangles. Planting in wide and narrow rows can reduce the space occupied by each coconut tree to 45 square meters.

One hectare is 200 square meters, and more than [-] trees can be planted.

"My guess."

But she wasn't sure about her guess. After all, compared with the artificially planted coconut groves, this place was too deserted.Since it is a scientific and reasonable planting method, it means that it is also the minimum requirement for wild coconut trees. Maybe it is the result of natural selection?

Bai Zhen did not suspect him, and praised him sincerely: "Miss, you are really amazing."

Hua Mu sighed, "Let me down."

Bai Zhen put Hua Mu down from his back, noticed the bite marks on her arms and legs, and couldn't help worrying: "Miss, you were bitten badly, I'll go find some mosquito repellent."

Although Hua Mu is really itchy, whether it is looking for herbs or spices, it can be discussed later.This coconut grove gave her a strange feeling, and even the joy didn't last long.

"You climbed up there to pick the coconuts?"

Most of the coconut trees here are about ten meters high, and the highest is no more than 15 meters. They are considered dwarf coconut trees.But even if it is only ten meters, it is scary enough. Just thinking of climbing up the white pillow, Hua Mu feels terrified.

Bai Zhen didn't quite understand why Hua Mu asked such an obvious question, so he nodded honestly.

It's too dangerous, this bare tree trunk, if it falls, there is no branch to stop it.

"I don't really want to drink coconut juice, so I don't want to climb trees every now and then."

Bai Zhen was a little puzzled. Seeing Hua Mu's serious face, he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he just whispered, "But we haven't found the water source yet."

Naturally, it is impossible for there to be no water in the rainforest, but the ground is full of rot, and stagnant water can easily breed parasites and bacteria, which is too dangerous.Unless it is a last resort, Baizhen never wants to choose fresh water in puddles.

"Then keep looking. You can't pick these coconuts until the water is finished."

Although weird, this coconut grove did give Hua Mu a reassurance.There are two hundred coconut trees, and many of them are hanging with fruit, so the two of them don't have to worry about being thirsty for the time being.

But she still desperately needs clean water—Hua Mu hasn't cleaned her body for two days!

Bai Zhen nodded, and Hua Mu asked her to carry her around for a while.In addition to coconut trees, there are also some other fruit trees here, such as banana trees, lotus trees, date palms, etc. Many of them bear fruit, but not many mature ones. The two of them picked off the whole ones. , still not enough to fill the pocket of the white pillow.

Bai Zhen carried her on his back and walked eastward out of the coconut grove. After a short grassy slope, a coastline stretching for several kilometers appeared in front of the two of them.The white-gold beach is followed by the green and clear sea, and the place where the sea and the sky meet in the distance is like the end of the world.

Like frogs imprisoned in a small corner, the two suddenly saw the vast world, and couldn't help holding their breath at the same time.

From the perspective of the scenery, this place looks much better than the place where the two landed.

"Miss, let me make some marks here too."

But neither Bai Zhen nor Hua Mu said they would move their positions. One was because the two had spent a lot of energy there to establish a temporary foothold, and the other was because they didn't trust the unfamiliar environment.

"Well, let's have lunch here at noon. Take me to find some mosquito repellent first, and then see if there is anything to eat."

Hua Mu had no interest in exploring the island from the beginning to the end. In her subconscious mind, the more she knew about the island, the less likely it was that she would go back.

Whether it is mosquito-repelling plants or spices, the biggest feature is that it has a specific aroma.For sentinels, even if they don't know these plants at all, they can find them with twice the result with half the effort.

White Pillow soon found a bush of wild mint at the junction of the lawn and the rainforest.

Hua Mu thought she would be looking for some herbal medicine, but it turned out to be mint grass, so she picked a piece and chewed it in her mouth without thinking.Because she hasn't brushed her teeth for many days, she feels that her mouth stinks!

Baizhen occasionally chews burnt charcoal to keep his mouth clean, but Huamu really can't stand it.No matter how destitute she was, she would never eat that dark thing!

Seeing Hua Mu eating and playing, Bai Zhen had no intention of applying medicine by himself, so he chewed mint leaves and rubbed them on her reddened skin.

The cool feeling dispelled some of the itching, Hua Mu breathed out comfortably, and then was attracted by a tall shrub next to him.

The shrub has long drooping branches, oval leaves, and sharp spines in the leaf axils.

After Hua Mu confirmed it again and again, she couldn't help feeling excited.

"Baizhen, hurry up and break off a section of this branch."

Bai Zhen didn't know what idea Hua Mu had thought of, and he was as obedient as she was, so naturally he would not question this trivial matter.

She quickly cut off a small branch, then subconsciously put it under her nose and took a sniff.

Hua Mu knew that she had a keen sense of smell, "How is it? Does it smell like mint?"

Not only minty, but also slightly sweet fruity aroma.

"Miss, this is a good thing."

Of course Hua Mu knew it was a good thing!Her naturalist friends had strongly recommended this Miswak natural toothbrush to her, but she was too lazy to give up an electric toothbrush!

The author has something to say: neither the planting of coconut trees nor the Miswak toothbrush has a mustache.
