"Don't worry, what I let you eat is not the bark, but the heart of the palm tree. This is a rare good thing, and most people can't afford it if they want to eat it."

Qin Lie explained with a smile.

"Palm tree heart?"

Hearing this, Lin Qiuzhu frowned.

"Yes." Qin Lie nodded, and then continued, "The heart of the palm tree is called the king of vegetables by Westerners. Generally, only the most high-end French cuisine uses the heart of the palm tree for dishes."

"Oh, I remembered. I remember eating a dish made from palm tree hearts at Burj Al Arab in Dubai. It seems to be called a Monopoly salad, and it's only available for a limited time."

A flash of light flashed in Lin Qiuzhu's mind.

She often travels abroad and has eaten countless special dishes, but if Qin Lie hadn't told her, she would never have imagined that the heart of a palm tree would still be eaten.

Qin Lie didn't waste any more time, he drew his knife and started chopping down palm trees.

In no time, all five palm trees were cut down.

It took Qin Lie another twenty minutes to peel off the outer bark and get out the innermost core.

A palm tree is seven or eight meters high, about the thickness of an adult's thigh, but the heart of the tree is only five or six pounds.

Fortunately, there are five palm trees here, which should be barely enough for their dinner tonight.

Then Qin Lie gave the five palm tree hearts to Lin Qiuzhu, and he got a large bundle of palm tree leaves.

He is going to take these palm leaves back to build a house, and the waterproof effect of this thing is much stronger than that of ordinary leaves.

After walking along the beach for nearly fifteen minutes, Qin Lie and the two finally returned to the camp.

"You didn't go hunting, why did you come back with so many leaves?"

Looking at Qin Lie, who came back with a pile of palm leaves, Ye Yuqing's face suddenly showed a confused expression of crying and laughing.

"These palm fronds are used to cover thatched huts, and the staple food this evening is palm tree hearts."

Before Qin Lie could speak, Lin Qiuzhu shook the heart of the tree in his hand.

"All right."

Although a little disappointed, Ye Yuqing had already recognized the reality, and knew that they were trying to survive, and it was good to have something to eat, and she was not picky.

"Qin Lie, put your things there first, and I'll take you to the beach."

Ye Yuqing suddenly said to Qin Lie again.

"Why go to the beach?"

Qin Lie asked casually.

"You'll know when you come."

Ye Yuqing didn't say much.

"Okay, I'll take a drink first."

Qin Lie put the palm leaf next to the main body of the thatched hut just built, took a sip of water, and went to the beach with Ye Yuqing.

After arriving at the beach, Qin Lie discovered that the two sisters Su Xiaoxiao and Yang Gang were here, and on the beach not far from them, there were more than a dozen corpses, some suitcases and some tattered pieces.

"These corpses were found when Xiaoxiao and Tiantian came to the beach to pick up shells. I guess they were all blown up by the waves. I didn't let them touch them. I'll wait for you to come back and discuss what to do with these things."

Ye Yuqing said with a heavy face.

"It's simple, take off all the clothes on the corpse, whoever can wear it after washing it, pull all the suitcases back, let's keep the useful ones, and throw the corpse back into the sea."

Qin Lie quickly gave a solution.

"Brother Qin, can you still wear dead people's clothes?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked with disgust.

Because of her good family background, she always wore famous brands since she was a child, and she didn't even wear old clothes.

But now Qin Lie actually said to let them wear dead people's clothes, which made her a little unacceptable.

"You can wear it as long as you wash it. Don't be so particular about it at this time. You don't want to wear one set of clothes all the time."

Qin Lie replied lightly.

As a rural child, he is not so particular about it.

What's more, it is a desert island to survive, not a vacation, and they are not qualified to pick and choose.

"Xiaolie, I don't mind wearing dead people's clothes, but can we dig a hole and let these corpses be buried in the ground for safety? After all, they are also human, so it's a bit too cold-blooded to just throw them into the sea."

Ye Yuqing frowned.

"I see what you mean, but now is not the time to be a nice guy."

"First, there are more than a dozen corpses here. It would not be a small project if they were buried. Who among you would be willing to do this work?"

"Secondly, these people are not related to us, and we have no obligation or responsibility to do this kind of thing."

"Thirdly, if these corpses are buried near our camp, and the weather is so hot, if these corpses rot in the future, then we will be finished."

"So, burying them directly at sea is the most appropriate method."

"Of course, I know you may not be able to accept it psychologically for a while, but it's okay, I'll be the villain."

After explaining the reason, Qin Lie went straight to the corpses.

Because these corpses have been soaked in the sea for too long, they have already swelled up. Some of them have begun to rot and emit a pungent stench. Some of them have even been eaten by fish and shrimp, leaving only stumps. Arm, at first glance, it looks like Shura hell, it is really disgusting and terrifying!

But Qin Lie was like an emotionless robot, ripping off their clothes one by one.

"Qin Lie, let me help you too."

Ye Yuqing knew in her heart that Qin Lie did this for everyone's consideration. She couldn't leave all the dirty work to Qin Lie, so she took the initiative to walk up to a female corpse, ready to help.

However, when Ye Yuqing saw the widened eyes and rotting cheeks of the female corpse, Ye Yuqing's stomach suddenly turned upside down.

"vomit!"

Ye Yuqing couldn't bear it any longer, and spit out loudly.

"Xiaoxiao, take Sister Yuqing back to the camp, this place is not suitable for you to stay here, Yang Gang, you stay and help me."

Qin Lie ordered quickly.

Ye Yuqing is a female president with a net worth of several billions. She is usually very delicate, and it is normal that she cannot bear such a scene.

However, he has done a lot of dirty work since he was a child, and picking up clothes from a corpse is nothing to him at all.

"Okay, let's go first. Brother Qin, you are tired and do more work. I'll give you a leg massage when I go back later."

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it any longer, and after saying this, she hurriedly left here with Ye Yuqing.

Although Yang Gang felt nauseated for a while, he could only endure it at this time.

After everyone's clothes were removed, Qin Lie and Yang Gang carried the corpses together and threw them into the sea one by one, letting the corpses drift into the distance with the sea water.
