Chapter 75 Chili Pepper
Feng Jiuyou sat under the tree to enjoy the shade, watching the little cubs playing not far away.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful here!” The two little girls looked at the chrysanthemums not far away and shouted excitedly.
"Third brother, there is a small sapling here. There are a lot of red fruits on it. I don't know what they are. Why don't I pick them and eat them."
Goro Pointing to the large piece of red fruit not far away, he said happily.
"Don't..." Before Sanlang could say anything, Wulang bit it down.
"Ah...it's spicy...it's spicy to death, it's spicy to death." Wulang slapped his mouth desperately with his chubby little hands.
The noise here also alarmed Feng Jiuyou. She looked over and saw Wulang fanning his mouth and howling.
Others also gathered around.
“Oh, little brother, how can you pick this red fruit and eat it? This is not edible, it is poisonous, and your mouth will turn red if you eat it.”
The little granddaughter of the village chief's family shouted in surprise.
"Auntie, wuwuwu...am I going to die...wuwuwu..."
When Wulang saw Feng Jiuyou coming over, he couldn't hold back his tears of grievance and burst into tears. It fell down with a splash, like a child who had done something wrong.
"No way... Third brother, bring the water..." Feng Jiuyou was angry and funny. Seeing how uncomfortable he was, he quickly asked Feng Chenyi to bring the water.
“Wash your mouth first and wash your hands too.”
After washing for a long time, using up two pots of water, and drinking a lot of water, Wu Lang felt relieved.
He still can't bear to leave his aunt. He hasn't even seen his cousins yet.
"You deserve it. You just put something you don't know into your mouth casually. It's not poisonous this time, but it might be poisonous next time."
Feng Chenyi learned about the fruit. It was not poisonous, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he began to scold Qi Wulang again.
"Uncle San, I know I was wrong."
"Auntie, I ate poisonous fruit, am I going to die?" Wulang sat on the grass, looking at Feng Jiuyou with tears in his eyes, his nose twitching.
"No, the red fruit is not poisonous. You will feel uncomfortable for a day or two at most." Feng Jiuyou rubbed his hair.
Fortunately, Wulang only took one bite, otherwise he would have suffered.
"But...she...she said it was poisonous." Wulang still didn't believe it and pointed at the little girl.
When the little girl saw this, her expression changed and she shook her head quickly.
"Auntie, that red fruit is really poisonous. Someone in our village ate it and had diarrhea for several days."
"Don't be afraid, what's your name? You're right." Seeing that the little girl was frightened, Feng Jiuyou bent down slightly and patted her little head, comforting her in a low voice.
"Auntie, my name is Zhao Xiaojuan. The red fruit you mentioned is not poisonous, is it true?"
The little girl asked carefully.
"It's not poisonous, but it can't be eaten raw." Feng Jiuyou didn't say much, and even children wouldn't understand.
Some time ago, she wanted to eat chili pepper very much. She just asked people at home and they didn’t know what it was.
There is dogwood, but she doesn’t like the taste of dogwood. She didn’t expect to find it here in the south.
"Little sister, do you know where we can find this kind of red fruit? Can you tell your aunt?"
Feng Jiuyou saw that there was only one pepper plant here, which was a kind of cherry. Peppers are like little lanterns. From what the little girl said, she might know that there are them elsewhere.
"Yes, yes, I know where it is. It's not far from here."
When the little girl saw that Feng Jiuyou was looking for chili peppers, she immediately forgot about what happened before and happily led the way.
