Survival on a deserted island, a fake daughter raises a tiger cub and makes the star cry

Chapter 239 Golden Eagle
Shi Nianqing was about to go out that day to bring back the remaining baobab fruit trees.

Now that we have two-wheeled vehicles, it's very convenient to go there and collect baobab fruit.

Shi Nianqing planned that the round trip would take about two days. She had the family's ox pull a two-wheeled cart, and she lay down in the back, walking slowly.

After preparing these things and saying goodbye to my friends, I embarked on my journey away.

Fortunately, the original road is still there, and it's relatively easy to walk on.

The bison are also very fast. They basically set off during the day, rest in a big tree at night, and then feed themselves.

The next morning, we continued our journey and arrived at the baobab tree just before sunrise.

The baobab trees are spaced some distance apart, and quite a few of the brown-skinned baobab fruits have fallen off, but there are still many hanging on the trees.

We cleaned up the fallen fruit on the ground, and put all the relatively intact ones into the basket. Then we started climbing the tree, and the baobab fruits on the tree kept falling down as we shook them.

If it won't fall, just climb up and pick it.

They quickly picked a large pile and put it all into the basket, filling the two-wheeled cart to the brim.

There were still quite a few left, and Shi Nianqing thought she would come back to collect more next time, as she simply couldn't bear to leave any more.

I thought a two-wheeled vehicle would be enough, but I underestimated the harvest from the baobab tree.

I also collected a lot of tree branches, intending to use them to extract starch.

Before leaving, Shi Nianqing saw the exposed roots on the ground. Feeling a bit thirsty, she pulled one out and cut off a small section with her dagger.

These are newly grown rhizomes, tender and looking very fresh.

One bite reveals a hint of coconut flavor; the taste is quite good.

It tasted pretty much as I imagined, with a lingering aftertaste and a slightly erotic flavor.

This is a very good source of carbohydrates, and compared to the food I brought with me, the roots and stems of this baobab tree are quite unique.

After tidying up, I noticed it was still early.

It will take another day and night to get back, so I estimate I won't arrive until the next day.

Instead of heading back, we continued exploring this side.

The area where the baobab tree grows is covered with a lot of vegetation, and Shi Nianqing wanted to look around to see if she could find some new ingredients.

The altitude difference here is quite large compared to where they live, and they soon arrived at a sheltered cliff.

Standing on top, you can see scattered wildflowers blooming on the cliff, but many have already fallen due to autumn.

It's nowhere near as beautiful as it is in spring. Going down from the side, you can see that the cliff edge is covered with dense tamarisk.

I had seen these wild fruits before by the hot springs; they grew in dense clusters.

You can see a large number of purple fruits growing on it.

When Shi Nianqing was about to leave, she picked some to take back and use to make wine.

That's right. Shi Nianqing had already prepared the yeast and collected the rice, and she was going to brew her own high-proof liquor.

Using these high-proof liquors to soak fruit wines results in a very good taste.

As Shi Nianqing continued walking, she discovered not only five-finger peach but also wild yam.

Wild yams grow into tiny little yam balls, and when you look closely, they grow in large patches, creating a truly spectacular sight.

The yams on the ground were densely packed. Shi Nianqing used a dagger to dig open the surface. She didn't even need to dig too deep to see the rugged-looking yams.

These yams stayed there quietly, along with some fallen yam seeds.

Year after year, a great many accumulated. Shi Nianqing couldn't help but open her mouth wide, utterly incredulous at how there could be so many yams in this place.

They dug up all the shallow, easily excavated areas on the surface, filling a whole basket, weighing over fifty pounds.

While digging up these yams, Shi Nianqing saw something even more surprising.

That's wild gastrodia elata. I remember when I was a child, my grandparents would often buy it to make soup for me when I had a bruise or sprain.

I never expected to see wild Gastrodia elata here.

However, the quantity was not large; after a simple digging, it was found to be about one pound.

The supplies here were more plentiful than she had imagined. Shi Nianqing put these things in a hidden corner and continued walking down the cliff.

Finding so many things was already beyond expectations; Shi Nianqing hadn't thought she could find anything else.

Just then, a loud shout was heard.

Before I could even react, I suddenly felt a chill down my back.

In that instant, Shi Nianqing quickly lowered her head and lay face down on the ground.

Then a wing at least 5 meters long descended swiftly, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at Shi Nianqing, as if it wanted to devour her completely.

This means that they treated Shi Nianqing like prey, quickly descended, and prepared to pull Shi Nianqing to the highest point before dropping her down.

Due to inertia, Shi Nianqing will be thrown to her death, and then the big bird will have a delicious meal.

The attack missed, and the large bird quickly took flight.

Viewers in the live stream, who were leisurely watching the broadcast, suddenly started shouting in surprise upon seeing such a thrilling scene.

Holy crap, what was that thing just now?

[What a huge bird! It looks like a Zergling. What's going on?]

[Oh my god, that was so close! Luckily, Sister Shi is amazing, otherwise I don't know if we would still be able to continue watching the live stream.]

[Ahhh, what a cool bird with golden feathers! It looks so handsome!]

……

Shi Nianqing carefully observed the large bird flying in the sky. It had golden feathers all over its body, a sharp beak, and sharp eyes, and looked extremely aggressive.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a golden eagle.

The golden eagle spread its arms, its wingspan estimated to be over 5 meters, and its two legs were very strong and powerful, with sharp claws and a hooked beak.

When hunting prey, it can quickly concentrate and deliver a heavy blow.

Judging from its appearance, the golden eagle saw itself as prey and kept circling in the sky.

Wherever Shi Nianqing went, that big bird flew there too.

Looks like I'm not going to be able to leave today.

Shi Nianqing looked at the golden bird floating in the sky, holding a dagger in her hand.

And he also brought a large sword; thankfully, he brought the large sword with him.

Holding a dagger, he stared intently at the birds flying in the sky.

Perhaps Shi Nianqing's gaze touched a nerve with the golden eagle.

After a short while, Shi Nianqing found a very good position for self-defense.

Just as we were trying to lure the golden eagle down, it swooped down and was right in front of us in just a few seconds.
