The two of them searched the island again, and when Ling Mufeng was rummaging through the grass, they suddenly found a white object.

After seeing that thing, Ling Mufeng didn't react for a while, but Chu Xun yelled first, and then grabbed Ling Mufeng's arm.

After seeing the thing clearly, Ling Mufeng also took a deep breath. He had just accidentally turned out a skull.

This skull looks dead for some years, and even the top has rotted.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Ling Mufeng patted the back of Chu Xun's hand, and said comfortingly, and after searching around, he found the complete body of this person.

Looking at the general shape of the skeleton, it can be seen that the deceased was taller before he was alive, and judging from the width of the bones, he should be a Westerner. He must have been with the people on the boat, probably because he was out looking for resources. I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake and died here

Of course, this was just Ling Mufeng's guess, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

After being comforted by Ling Mufeng, Chu Xun really felt much better. She hurriedly patted her chest, which really shocked her just now.

And right next to the bones, the two people did find a few taro plants, but they didn't pick them.In this dead man's place, the vegetation is very lush. It is estimated that they have absorbed the nutrients from this man and grown so densely.

Both of them felt that it was unbearable to eat the taro nourished by the nutrients from the body of the dead, so they didn't break ground in this place, and moved to other places to continue exploring.

But after this incident, Chu Xun was obviously not as lively as he was at the beginning, and he was quite bored, but he followed closely behind Ling Mufeng and didn't talk much.

Because when she saw the skeleton, she thought of her experience at that time. She was bitten by a snake at that time. If Ling Mufeng hadn't saved her, she would probably be the same as this skeleton now, a dead person.

Ling Mufeng naturally saw Chu Xun's appearance, so he hurriedly said comfortingly: "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let you do anything."

After hearing Ling Mufeng's comfort, Chu Xun felt much better, and looked at Ling Mufeng gratefully, and she didn't know why the man in front of her was not very majestic or handsome, but his body gave people A very solid sense of security, the self-confidence in Ling Mufeng also deeply affected her.

Chu Xun looked into Ling Mufeng's eyes, and was stunned for a moment. It was only when Ling Mufeng's hand shook in front of her that she let her go.

"Chu Xun, are you okay? Could it be heatstroke?"

Ling Mufeng frowned, put his hand lightly on Chu Xun's head, and then quickly removed his hand.

"My head isn't hot either."

After Chu Xun came to his senses, his pretty face blushed and he said hastily, "No...it's okay, let's keep looking, these are not enough to eat."

They only found five taro now, but it took them more than an hour.

This efficiency is really too slow, which makes the two of them a little distressed.

But at this time, Ling Mufeng thought of it. The nautical chart seemed to record another kind of long strip-shaped carbohydrate plant similar to sweet potatoes, which was also near this area, but it was further east.

So Ling Mufeng took Chu Xun to explore to the east.

The two of them walked for more than half an hour, when Ling Mufeng stopped suddenly, and ran to a small shrub with some excitement.

After seeing Ling Mufeng's reaction, Chu Xun hurriedly followed.

"Ling Mufeng, what kind of plant is this? This is not taro."

After chasing after him, Chu Xun saw that Ling Mufeng was facing a short shrub. The coconut of this shrub was like a fusiform, and there was a branch like a wood in the middle, which was a relatively short shrub.

After careful confirmation, Ling Mufeng showed a look of surprise on his face, then turned around and said to Chu Xun: "I found a treasure, this is cassava, and the yield of this thing is very high, like this one, There may be several rhizomes."

"Cassava?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Chu Xun's face. She had never heard of such potato plants.

She has only heard of sweet potatoes and purple potatoes but never of cassava.

"Yes, but this cassava is poisonous, and it must be handled properly when eating, otherwise it may cause death if poisoned."

After hearing this, Chu Xun covered his mouth in fear, not expecting that this thing was poisonous.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart that Ling Mufeng's knowledge is so wide.

"Ling Mufeng, how do you know these things? Did you do any research when you came here?"

"That's not true, it's just that I used to study Chinese medicine, and I liked to study these plants when I was free. I remember I bought a plant illustration book before, which contained the appearance and efficacy of various plants. There is a record of this cassava."

Ling Mufeng explained that he did not lie to Chu Xun. He majored in Chinese medicine when he was in college. Naturally, he was very interested in these plants. When he was not free, he liked to read similar books, so he knew the types of plants. more.

"So that's the case. I didn't expect you to be a medical student. No wonder."

A surprised expression appeared on Chu Xun's face. This was the first time Ling Mufeng told him about his major.

After finishing speaking, Ling Mufeng no longer smeared the ink, and quickly squatted down, and started to dig the cassava with an axe. The cassava was much harder to dig than taro, and Chu Xun also quickly squatted down to help Ling Mufeng dig it up.

Her slender hands didn't look like they were working. After digging a little, she followed Ling Mufeng to dig for a while, and the skin on her hands was even torn.

Ling Mufeng found that Chu Xun didn't dare to use his strength when digging, so he grabbed Chu Xun's hand, then turned it so that her hand was facing upwards, and immediately saw that her fingers were red and swollen.

Chu Xun was also bewildered by Ling Mufeng's sudden movement, and after realizing it, he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Don't dig it now, your hands are almost broken, but don't get infected again later."

Ling Mufeng looked into Chu Xun's eyes and said seriously.

"It's okay, I can do it."

Chu Xun gritted her teeth. She hoped to help a little, not to make a vase, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to continue digging.

But Ling Mufeng grabbed his wrist.

"Stop digging, I'm not joking with you, you should save your hands for other things, if your hands are broken, I will have to do everything in the future."

Ling Mufeng looked at Chu Xun half-jokingly and said, then quickly let go of Chu Xun's hand to resolve the embarrassing situation.
