Jing Ling's target was the coconut trees not far away. As a tropical light-loving plant, coconut is very common on the hot, rainy and sunny islands at sea, and it bears fruit all year round. Coconut water not only replenishes water, but also has high nutritional value, which cannot be compared with mineral water.
Following Jing Ling's line of sight, Yu Leyang easily discovered his plan, and a pleased expression appeared on his face. "I know coconuts are edible, but don't you think the tree is too high?"
It is just as he said, although the food is good, it is still a bit difficult to put it in your mouth. Because coconut trees are very tall, their trunks are straight and there are no extra branches to climb. When Jing Ling took Qiao Qiao to meet up with Yu Leyang and the others, they were already on the beach in front of them. They had discovered these coconut trees early in the morning, but they just couldn't get the coconuts down.
Jing Ling nodded, "Yes, a little, but it's okay."
Yu Leyang suddenly remembered the tree-climbing skills that Jing Ling demonstrated when they were filming "Lonely Island" on an island in the Twelve Islands. They directly conquered Director Gu, who allowed him to do it himself without a stunt double. At that time, he was moving among the tall branches like a monkey, which surprised many people. He suddenly had a bad premonition, and it soon came true.
Jing Ling walked over and came under the coconut tree. He looked up as if to look around, then chose a relatively short and tilted coconut tree, threw his backpack on the ground, bent down to untie his shoelaces and take off his shoes, and began to climb the tree.
Yu Leyang estimated that the tree was nearly ten meters away from the ground. Liu Wei, who was traveling with him before, had tried to climb up before, but couldn't even reach two meters. However, watching Jing Ling climb, it seemed very easy. It wasn't long before he reached the top. He clamped his legs around the trunk of the coconut tree, grabbed the leaves above his head with one hand, and used the other hand to pick coconuts.
It was said to be picked, but because the coconuts were too big and were tightly connected to the tree, Jing Ling only had one hand to exert force, so he could only pick the coconuts by twisting them. After a few hits, a green coconut fell from the tree, hit the beach, and splashed a pile of soft fine sand.
"Wow!" Qiao Qiao cheered from a safe distance, "Come on Jing Ling, come on, more!"
Jing Ling made an OK gesture and continued to fight with Coconut. Before long, he had twisted nearly twenty coconuts off a tree, enough for the group to replenish the water they needed to survive for the day.
But there is a problem here, that is, it is easy to climb up a tree but difficult to come down, especially for a man, it is simply a cruel torture. Every time Jing Ling moved a certain distance, he would stop to rest. After a few times, Yu Leyang figured out the problem and immediately laughed unkindly. Influenced by him, others also started laughing, and those who didn't laugh tried to hold back their laughter. For example, Qiao Qiao, as an internet anchor, knows a lot, but this is a recording program, so she still has to be reserved. So she turned around and smiled secretly, her shoulders shaking slightly, and you might have thought she was crying.
Jing Ling rolled his eyes at them. After coming down from the tree with difficulty, he sat on the sand, leaned his back against the tree trunk to rest for a while, and then prepared to enjoy the fruits of his labor. The coconut shell is very hard, but this does not pose a problem for him. He brought a knife, which was not provided by the program crew but his own equipment. He bought it from Dazui when he went on a mission in Changchuling last time. It is a genuine military product and its quality is beyond doubt.
Out of gentlemanly demeanor, Jing Ling opened one for Qiao Qiao. As for the others, they had to fend for themselves.
After drinking water, the group sat together to discuss the itinerary. Jing Ling briefly described what he had seen on the high ground and asked for everyone's opinions.
"Our mission is to survive on the island for a few days, waiting for the 'accidental rescue ship' to pass by and take us to civilized society. But the supplies you brought can only last for about two days, and the rest of the time you have to rely on finding food to survive. This island is too small, I didn't see any water source, and the food is not enough. But there is a bigger island in the north, not too far away, I think we can go there to take a look, what do you think?"
What he said makes sense, but just because it makes sense doesn't mean others have to agree with it. For example, Yu Leyang was the first to object.
"I've also seen the island you mentioned. It's not far from here, but Liu Wei told me before that the tidal channel between the two islands is where sharks often appear. Qiao Qiao also confirmed that you saw sharks on the other side before. I don't want to feed the sharks, so go by yourself if you want to."
Human beings have a natural fear of the sea. There is an endless sea and one never knows when a violent storm may come. The huge waves may make a person faint after a wave hits him. In addition, there are all kinds of poisonous or huge creatures in the deep water that can make people scared from the bottom of their hearts.
Others agreed with his opinion. Qiao Qiao was even more so. She felt her heart tremble when she thought of the shark.
Seeing everyone's determination, Jing Ling temporarily gave up the idea of ​​persuading them, and the issue was put on hold. It was still early, so he decided to take a walk around the island. The program crew threw them here only after doing the preliminary preparations, which means there must be something here that allows them to survive, either food, or an opportunity to leave. He was more inclined to the latter, because there was another larger island not far away, so there was no reason not to put them in a wider place.
He had only taken a quick look from a high place before and had not taken a close look. After he suggested going for a walk, the others became a little interested and got up and set off.
After going around in a circle, he actually found something useful - bamboo.
What does bamboo have? The answer is to make a bamboo raft to cross the waters between the two islands. So when he proposed to go to another island again, everyone did not refuse outright like before, but seemed a little hesitant.
"Let's make the bamboo raft first." said Zhang Hengyi, one of the two people in the third group.
"no problem."
Then several people began to divide the work and cooperate. Two people cut bamboo, and two people moved to the beach. Qiao Qiao, the only girl in the team, did not have to do hard labor. She only needed to find soft vines or other things that could be used for binding nearby. Jing Ling, as the person who proposed the plan, was responsible for making the bamboo raft.
There is strength in numbers. With everyone's cooperation, the bamboo raft was built quickly. Newly made items generally cannot be put into use directly, especially in this case, they need to be tested first. Several people worked together to push the bamboo raft into the water. The hollow bamboo with many closed joints has strong buoyancy. When tied together to make a bamboo raft, it floats well on the water.
Jing Ling jumped up to try it out, and then two more people joined in, and there was no problem.
A bamboo raft and a pole took all the people to the larger island on the other side in three attempts.
After they all went there, the program crew told them that they actually put shark repellent on the island, which was put in bottles of program-sponsored drinks in a not-too-hidden place. I didn't expect they were so capable.
Jing Ling looked at the others in silence.
