Chapter 144 Delicious Coconut

144

The three ancient princes stepped on the blue-black stone steps of Qianling Island and looked at the big trees almost full of feather-like leaves by the roadside. The long and narrow tree was full of horizontal bark, layer by layer, as if they were stitched together.

Occasionally, there are one or two large trees with narrow or oval leaves, but the trunk is full of some bud-like tentacles, several meters long, and some are in direct contact with the ground, like a super-long beard, which is another scene compared with the trees in the deep mountains and old forest.

Mr. Gu and Mr. Shan looked at it in great surprise, excitedly pointed to those strange species that had never been seen, and kept asking these two obviously not strange guys.

"In this sea, the air is much more humid, and these false roots under the trees can survive even if they are exposed to the air. The false roots have grown a lot, which is still a kind of scenery. Speaking of this, I think of the sea buckthorn tree in the desert. The sea buckthorn tree has no leaves, and the whole tree is full of sharp thorns, and its roots are deeply rooted in the sand. It is dozens of feet deep. Only in this way can it absorb the poor amount of water from the depths of water and soil, reduce the evaporation of water, and survive in the dry sand where water is seriously scarce.

At the beginning, the nine-foot man just answered questions for the ancient prince. Thinking of the back, he was not a little distracted and admired the strong vitality of the sea buckthorn tree. Thinking of the embarrassed appearance that he was almost roasted, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Mr. Lu suddenly pointed to the forest in front of him excitedly and shouted, "Brother Gu, look over there! There are a lot of coconuts! Shall we pick some and eat some?

In the tall forest in front of you, under the feather-shaped leaves of the peacock, there are more than a dozen gray-yellow fruits that are slightly larger than their fists, and the shell is full of fine whiskers.

Mr. Shan urged excitedly, "Is it delicious fruit?" It happened that I didn't eat anything in the morning. Gu Di, please climb up and pick some for us.

Thinking about these days, because they were maliciously eaten all the prepared food by a nine-foot man, they are eating almost all the poor head, rice, and those damn salty and fishy fish. Now that they heard that there could be such delicious food, Mr. Gu suddenly became interested, rubbed a pair of thin hands, and said with a grin. "Are those fruits delicious?"

Mr. Gu laughed and said, "Of course it's delicious. I like this most. Please pick some for us quickly."

The ancient prince jumped and jumped, and the gray shadow moved. The man was already standing under the coconut tree, "Wash!" He quickly climbed to the top of the tree four or five feet high in the blink of an eye, which was simply faster than an ape. At the top of the tree, Mr. Gu grabbed a dagger and rowed it. In an eye, more than a dozen fruits fell from it, smashing out small round pits and splashing pieces of sand.

"It's really like a flexible little monkey!"

The nine-foot man laughed and bounced his body. He ran to the tree to take a coconut that had not yet been smashed to the ground. He inserted his finger and made a hole in the hard fruit shell and turned the coconut over. The milky white juice was like a water line dripping from the eaves, and it fell into the huge mouth of the nine-foot man.

"Oh, it turned out to be juice. I thought it was eating pulp!"

Mr. Shan learned from their appearance, gouge out a hole from the fruit shell, and was ready to drink like a nine-foot man, but he saw Mr. Lu pulling out a jade hairpin from his head, pulling out a phoenix hairpin head, inserting it into the hole, and sucking the pipe head. This food is much more elegant!

"Ha ha, Ludi's method is better!"

The mountain prince's eyes turned, and he also pulled out the dark wooden hairpin from his head, pulled out the hairpin head, and inserted the gourd into the coconut shell to suck it.

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Ha ha, it turns out that Brother Shan also has this thing. Is it specially prepared to eat coconuts like me?"

Mr. Shan smiled and said, "I have never seen this kind of fruit before. How can it be specially prepared?"

The ancient prince climbed down from the tree, and the nine-foot-old man had already eaten a coconut and grabbed another coconut.

The ancient prince quickly picked up a coconut from the sand. He did not have the ability of a nine-foot man to insert a shell into a hole. He had to take out a dagger and insert it down, and then pick it out a round shell. Instead of learning from the two princes, he directly turned the fruit shell upside down and drank it like drinking.

The rich fruit aroma spreads, the juice is mellow and greasy in the mouth, and the bottom of the tongue is full of saliva. It is indeed much better than those annoying dry heads. The ancient prince swallowed a coconut juice directly in one breath.

Taking a long breath, Mr. Gu praised loudly, "This coconut is really delicious!"

"Who stole my coconut over there?"

A furious voice came from afar, followed by a strange man wearing a strange hat and equally dark skin, holding a curved machete in his hand, as if he wanted to run to find these people who stole fruit desperately.

"This uncle, we didn't mean it, but we saw that Zuo Jin was not guarded by anyone, so we had to drink it first. This little money is the money we bought these fruits."

Mr. Gu grabbed a piece of silver and threw it at him.

The man rushed over with a curved mountain knife in his hand. Suddenly, he saw a white silver light appear in front of him. He turned into anger and stretched out another hand, surrounded the hand holding the mountain knife high, and hugged him to the silver white that made him excited.

"Dang!"

The silver collided with the handle of the knife and fell from his unsealed fingers and smashed the sand. The man in a hurry threw the mountain knife in his hand aside and continued to grab the silver. After grabbing the silver, he picked it up and put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"Ah, it's real silver! It's so heavy that there seem to be five or six taels.

The silver was real. The man quickly put the silver into his sleeve and turned to a flattering smile at Mr. Gu: "This prince, you have a lot of money. I don't have enough money to find you. Why don't I pick more coconuts for you?

Mr. Gu grabbed another coconut and ate it vigorously. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, yes, we just want to prepare some to eat on the way."

The nine-foot man ate three coconuts in a row, and Mr. Lu and Mr. Shan were still sucking them slowly with a straw.

Mr. Lu suddenly nodded and said, "Brother Shan, this straw is the hairpin that hurt the second king last time... Is this the hairpin that hurt the second king? Isn't it poisonous? How can it be used for food?

Mr. Shan smiled and said, "You don't know that. I have other secrets in my hairpin."

Mr. Lu grabbed the mountain man's hairpin and turned it over several times. Through the narrow pipe hole, he still couldn't see any suspicion.

He looked at Mr. Shan with suspicious eyes and saw him smiling mysteriously. He pouted and looked carefully at the pipe. He almost didn't put his eyes into the pipe. He still couldn't see any problems. He was so anxious that he couldn't wait to shrink in to find out.

Mr. Shan looked at him doing it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. However, he continued to look there unconvincedly, shook his head and smiled, "Well, don't look there. The problem is not there, but on my hairpin."

"Well, what should I say!" Mr. Lu nodded and suddenly understood, and suddenly stretched out his hand to take care of his itch and said, "Wow, how dare you fool me!"

The mountain prince dodged around the coconut tree and said with a smile, "You just robbed my pipe, but you didn't ask me if the key to this problem is on this tube. How can you blame me?"

Mr. Gu looked at them with a smile. What he had in his mouth was caught. The pipe that originally belonged to Xue Yueer, that is, the one that was originally in Mr. Gu's hand, slowly tasted the second coconut there.

The nine-foot man nodded and praised, "Yes, that old man has six points of skill!"

"This gentleman, look, are these coconuts enough?"

The voice of the man's flattery came from there, with some small authentic official language.

Gu Gongzi turned his head and saw that his eyes almost fell out directly. He saw the coconuts piled up over there like a hill!

Mr. Gu said in surprise, "Are these all the changes?"

The man nodded like a chicken pecking rice, pointed to the tree with a mountain knife, and smiled: "If you don't think it's enough, I can pick some more."

Mr. Gu shook his head and quickly said, "Enough, enough, but I didn't expect there to be so much!"

The nine-foot man patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Do you think this thing is delicious and expensive? It's not valuable here. You'd better ask someone to move it to the boat quickly.

The man said, "Mr. son, I can help you carry the coconut on the ship. Where is your ship?"

Mr. Gu pointed to the foot of the mountain. The man looked at the small boat and nodded, "Okay, you wait here. I'll get the car to transport it."

In a while, the man of the bucket hat pushed a unicycle, with a basket on each side of the frame, which must be used to transport coconuts.

Mr. Gu and others were very interested in the car with only one wheel in front of them. They looked around for a long time before helping to load the coconut and fill two large baskets. The man with a bamboo hat pushed the wheelb full of coconuts down the mountain with a smile. It took dozens of direct transportation before transporting the pile of hill-like coconuts.
