After rubbing his hands, Chen Wen decisively climbed the tree to pick dates.
The date palm is a plant in the palm family. Its trunk is relatively straight and does not have too many branches at the base.
Moreover, the bark is quite rough and hairy.
Climbing up requires extra caution.
Besides the fact that the bark can easily tear delicate skin, causing injury, it also often harbors small bugs, sometimes even poisonous ones.
If something unexpected happens while climbing, it is particularly easy to be caught off guard and get hurt.
Therefore, Chen Wen was especially cautious.
As he climbed the tree, he was practically looking four steps ahead with each move.
Under such vigilance, Chen Wen slowly reached the area where he could pick the date palm fruits.
He pulled out his spear and knocked off a small portion of the still green dates.
At the same time, Chen Wen left the majority of the dates.
