After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

Since the rains had stopped, there was no need to build a covered shelter.

To ensure that you won’t be contaminated by all kinds of strange bugs when sitting on the ground.

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

After the felling was completed, the exhausted girls sat down to rest, while Zhang Liu squatted beside them and pounded the two pieces of pyrite in his hands.

Accompanied by the sound of "da da da da", sparks continued to fall from the striking points of the pyrite, but because the surrounding humidity was too high, the sparks quickly extinguished.

He was not in a hurry, but just let the sparks smoke the bamboo powder that served as fuel black.

This time when making a fire, Zhang Liu was determined to succeed.

Although you can also eat taro powder more smoothly by mixing it with water.

But if you can have a sip of hot water and dry your body a little by the fire.

Neither he nor the girls around him would mind.

When Zhang Liu successfully made a fire and built the pot stand, he began to pour rainwater and taro powder into the small alloy pot and boil it.

Qin Ruoyan, who had finished her rest and then stood up to stroll around the shelter, had made a new discovery.

"Is this... a cinchona tree?"

Leaning forward to look at the tree in front of her, Qin Ruoyan seriously thought about the medicinal knowledge she had learned before.

Usually the height is about six meters...

The bark should be gray-brown and appear thin overall, so it will have many shallow cracks.

Leaves are succulent or thinly leathery.

Usually they are oblong-lanceolate, elliptical-oblong or lanceolate in shape, with either a blunt or sparsely short pointed apex.

The former are tapering or mucronate at the base, the latter are glabrous on both sides or sometimes sparsely pubescent underneath…

After comparing it bit by bit, she broke off a little with her fingers and put it in her mouth, feeling the bitter taste. She gradually confirmed the answer in her heart.

These dozen or so deciduous trees mixed in with the banyan trees are definitely cinchona trees!

And its bark can provide the important substance quinine!

To know.

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

But at this moment, Qin Ruoyan suddenly remembered another effect of quinine.

That is it can increase uterine contractions which can then lead to…inducing labor.

Fingers skimmed across the bark.

There was some hesitation in her eyes.

Qin Ruoyan took a deep breath and discarded the idea in her mind which was really too terrifying.

Swinging the half-meter-long machete in her hand, she chopped off several pieces of bark and brought them back to the simple camp that everyone had built using the aerial roots of the banyan tree.

"There is a cinchona tree here. I peeled some bark back." Qin Ruoyan walked to Zhang Liu and took the initiative to show him the bark in her hand. Then she said with a smile on her face: "You can use it to treat malaria or some dermatitis and psoriasis in the future."

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

Zhang Liu didn't know what the cinchona tree looked like exactly.

But he still remembered this particularly famous medicinal plant.

At this moment, looking at the handful of fine bark handed over by Qin Ruoyan, Zhang Liu asked: "Well, can I taste it?"

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

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

"so bitter……"

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

This thing is just like what the story says, the bark tastes bitter...

Notice the interaction between Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoyan.

The other girls gave up their rest and gathered around her to begin looking at the magical bark.

Everyone has seen the introduction of this bark in textbooks.

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

Although Qin Ruoyan chopped several times, she only brought back a palm-sized amount, and the largest piece was the size of a finger.

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

Looking at the bitter expressions on everyone's faces.

Based on the concept that everyone is a sister and should share the hardship, Qin Ruoyan once again put a small piece into her mouth in public.

Then, while savoring the bitter taste in her mouth, she said, "I'm going to take some with me when I go back. Can you guys take some with you as well?"

There was no answer. Compared to the eldest daughter of the Qin family who had a strong resistance to all kinds of strange smells because she had taken Chinese medicine since childhood, all the girls at this moment grinned and started sticking out their tongues like Zhang Liu.

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

Looking at Qin Ruoyan's hand which still had most of the cinchona bark in it.

After hesitating for a while, she suggested, "I remember reading that this thing can cure malaria or something, so why don't we put it in and cook it together?"

Including Zhang Liu, everyone showed an expression of painful rejection.

Chapter 349: Su Yan's Research on How to Ejaculate Faster

"If you eat this, it may cause problems with your uterus... In short, eating too much is harmful to girls, so we shouldn't eat it carelessly."

To be on the safe side, Qin Ruoyan didn't dare to say casually that the bark of the cinchona tree has the effect of inducing labor.

So she added in an ambiguous tone: "After all, medicine is three-quarters poisonous, so just save some and prepare for emergencies."

Everyone nodded in approval of the professional advice from Qin Ruoyan, the team doctor.

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

Along with this, fine bubbles emerged from the taro powder paste in the alloy pot.

A simple lunch also began.

Although not full and satisfied.

But my mouth had eaten cinchona bark before and it was becoming bitter.

The girls tasted sweetness from the taro paste...

As a reward for Anya's clearing the way yesterday.

After finishing lunch, Zhang Liu cut a piece of sausage from his ration, roasted it over the fire, and passed it to the other party.

However, Anya did not eat it all by herself, but divided it into nine small pieces.

In her words, this is a team effort, so we must share together.

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

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

At this moment, the same thought came to their minds.

That is, this girl who used to be arrogant and stubborn has really grown up now.

"Crunch... crunch..."

Anya was chewing the hot and greasy sausage, feeling confused and uneasy as the two men looked at her.

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

Eat grilled sausage as the final energy replenishment.

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

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

"Mmm... so comfortable..."

Song Shuyao was currently standing naked under the waterfall.

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

She couldn't help but let out a beautiful moan.

At this moment, Zhao Yiran had taken off all her clothes and soaked in the pool.

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

After careful observation, Zhao Yiran asked with a confused look on his face: "Shuyao, why are the hairs on your side all in the same direction?"

Although it is embarrassing, the hair on certain parts of a girl's body, although it has a certain pattern, can also be messy.

But now Song Shuyao showed an incomparable smoothness in moving down.

If Zhao Yiran were to use an adjective, it would probably be "as if it had been permed and straightened"...

She and Song Shuyao had had the experience of taking a bath together several times before, but at that time everyone would take a milk bath or a hot spring bath before going in naked together.

This would be the first time for both of them to just take a bath in plain water.

So at this moment, Zhao Yiran is feeling extremely curious about the direction of his friend's hair.

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

Under Zhao Yiran's confused gaze.

Finally, she hesitantly explained in a low voice: "I love swimming... In order to avoid the unsightly appearance of loose threads, I had a hairstyle."

After saying this, Song Shuyao's face was already red.

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

But under the impact of the waterfall, her action was doomed to be in vain.

"Hahahahahahaha..." Before Song Shuyao finished her explanation, Zhao Yiran was already rolling around in the pool with laughter.

"You bastard!" Song Shuyao pounced directly at the other party with a coquettish voice...

When Zhao Yiran and Song Shuyao played in the pool and took a bath, they went to the top of the mountain to collect taro.

Zhang Liu and others had already walked quite a distance into the forest.

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

When the rain stopped, everything was quiet.

But after stopping for a while.

With the first bird call, the forest seemed to be awakened.

From time to time, birds the size of pigeons would flutter their wings above the banyan tree.

Perhaps because the moisture content in the air decreased, some small insects began to fly among the trees.

Their presence provides a chicken-flavored protein feast for various birds.

Looking at this lively scene, the girls all smiled happily.

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

But they hate the silent environment of moving forward even more.

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

"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 make a path.

Then she went on: "I want to shoot a few birds for dinner."

"Okay! I'll help you with the book basket. Do you want to take a rest first?" Stopping and nodding, Zhang Liu highly approved of Su Yan's suggestion.

He was even quite attentive in helping the other person take down the book basket behind him.

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

Su Yan suddenly felt happy when Zhang Liu showed his kindness to her.
