People died in the village, and there were cries and howls.

Wan Qiu was getting dressed and was about to go out. Shan Yu pulled him and said, “What are you doing?”

Wan Qiu said, “I heard Grandma Wang crying. I had to go out and have a look.”

Shan Yu disagreed and pulled the quilt away. He walked around Wan Qiu’s body and said, “It’s windy outside. You’re pregnant and just took medicine. Stay at home and don’t go out. I’ll go take a look.”

There was only one doctor in the village, Grandpa Yaba. He had been to the Deadly Forest yesterday and had not come back yet.

Everyone gathered in front of Grandpa Yaba’s house and cried. Shan Yu heard a few words and found out that people all died and became sick after eating fish caught from the stream. The only one who survived was a woman, who had never eaten the poisonous fish.

Shan Yu was unwelcome, and no one paid any attention to him after he asked around. Only Grandma Wang wiped her tears and said, “You don’t know, the water for watering the fields in our village was diverted from the stream on the mountain. I didn’t know what the wind was blowing today, but suddenly a lot of fish swam down in the river. Everyone happily caught a few fish and went home. Unexpectedly…”

Grandma Wang wiped her tears sadly. Now her family’s situation was pretty good. Her husband and grandson were only unconscious. Unlike others who were out of breath.

.

Shan Yu and Grandma Wang went into her home and saw that the unconscious person had a bloated abdomen, dark lips, and spots on the skin similar to corpse spots.

Very obvious symptoms of poisoning.

“Where is the fish? Is there any more? Take it out and show it to me.”

“That fish is poisonous and cannot be eaten. If you are hungry, I will give you a piece of cake…”

“No, I will just look at the fish.”

Grandma Wang was a kind and easy-to-talk person. If this was in another house, let alone talking with Shan Yu, others would definitely not be willing to look at him.

Shan Yu glanced at the very fat half fish on the table and found nothing wrong. He tentatively opened the fish’s head with a knife and found a bead inside.

It was white and about the size of a baby’s fist.

Shan Yu couldn’t help but smile, thinking that the ancients were really honest and never deceived people.

According to records in ancient medical books, fish with eyelashes on their eyes, fish with eyes that could open and close, fish without gills, fish with scarlet letters on their belly, fish with two different eyes, and fish with beads in their brains were all poisonous and could not be eaten.

Shan Yu was very glad that he believed in his ancestors; otherwise, he would have been in trouble today by the stream.

It didn’t matter if he was dead, even if he could go back, it was a relief. But Wan Qiu was still pregnant, if he killed two souls because of a mouthful of fish, it would be a big sin.

Shan Yu was a little scared, and because these fish only existed in ancient books, it was his first time seeing them, so he was not sure how to save people.

In the end, thinking that life might be lost without trying, Shan Yu thought about it for a while and said to Grandma Wang: “I have a method. I don’t know if it will work. Grandma, are you willing to give it a try?”

Grandpa Yaba was not there, so everyone could only hitch a bullock cart and go to a neighboring village to invite a doctor. While waiting, people continued to die one after another.

The villagers were panicked for a moment, and the women were everywhere screaming and crying. Grandma Wang’s psychological defenses also collapsed. Shan Yu had a method and she swore to God that no matter what the outcome was, she would not blame him.

With Grandma Wang’s promise, Shan Yu rolled up his sleeves and induced vomiting for the grandfather and grandson, and also gave bled some blood.

This was the simplest way to detox and it worked great.
