Chapter 72 Drinking Soapy Water
Bai Dashan was the village chief. He rushed back with a gust of wind and shouted for someone to mix soap water.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Duoxi and others came back carrying Baitao. This scene instantly made the villagers confused and panicked.
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
"What's wrong with my aunt?"
"What happened?"
Was he bitten by a snake?
No, soapy water induces vomiting.
Soon soapy water was delivered, and the villagers who gathered around after hearing the news also knew what was going on. Suddenly, many more people were panicked and frightened.
Baitao was finally put down. She sat up and shouted: "Don't mess around! Don't let the wind or rain, I'm really fine!"
"Auntie, just drink a little."
"I don't want it!" There was something wrong with her again. Why did she have to drink soapy water when she had nothing to do?
It's not that the villagers didn't want to do it, but they were afraid of hurting Baitao. Plus, when she got up, she jumped into the sedan chair and no one was allowed to come near her.
"I told you, I'm fine. Look at my face." Baitao held her little face in front of everyone with her hands crossed, and said, "Look, do I look like something's wrong?"
"Isn't this good for me!"
"Don't scare yourself. I don't feel if I'm poisoned!"
After everyone heard this, they stared closely at Baitao's face.
Hmm...it seems to be fine, but his face seems a bit white and a bit red, and the corners of his ears also seem a bit red.
"This..." Not sure.
At this moment, Bai Dayong squeezed in while coughing. His hair was messy, his eyes were red, and his voice was weak: "Where is my aunt? Is my aunt okay?"
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."
At this time, the villagers who were still hesitant immediately felt in their hearts. Bai Dayong is like this, how can his aunt be fine?
No, we can't leave it to my aunt. If she doesn't react now, it doesn't mean she's not poisoned. If the poison develops, it will be too late.
Bai Shanquan pulled Bai Youfu next to him. As soon as the two took a step forward, Baitao immediately pointed with his little hand: "Don't move!"
"I am my aunt. If anyone dares to mess around, I will drive him out of the village!"
Baitao could never have imagined that she was just eating a small meal secretly, and that she would cause such a ridiculous thing.
But at this time, Baitao couldn't change her words and retract her previous words even to death, otherwise she would be completely humiliated.
The main purpose of testing poison is to try it, but it does not say that it must be poisonous.
"I'll say it again, I'm fine, I don't need to drink soapy water!" Soapy water is not a panacea.
"Auntie..." I don't know who started it first, but the villagers knelt down in a hurry.
Even Bai Dongdong and the other two who were in confinement didn't know when they came out. Now they came out with their children in their arms and knelt beside the tent.
"Auntie, if something happens to you, what can we do?"
"How can we have the face to meet our ancestors..."
"Woooo...we are useless!"
Who would try poison if they are good enough? It must be for the sake of the big guy.
Let’s just say that those novel things come with a price, but I didn’t expect the price to be like this.
No wonder my aunt is hiding, she is just afraid that the big guys will find out.
Baitao didn't know the slander in the villagers' hearts, but she was speechless for a moment when the old and young people knelt on the ground.
But it was impossible to make her drink soapy water, not even in this life.
"Well, if you are not at ease, just come and give it a try with two people. You can see for yourself whether it is poisonous or not, okay?"
"Ahem... Auntie, I'm not..." Bai Dayong said while coughing. "Shut up!" Baitao yelled at him in anger.
If it hadn't been for him just now, the villagers would have believed her.
"The reason why you cough is because you ate too quickly and choked on the spicy juice."
ah?
Is that so?
Bai Dayong was stunned for a moment. This shouldn't be the reason, right?
The villagers also looked at each other in confusion. What the aunt said was reasonable, but they were not sure at the moment.
What if the poison enters the heart and lungs?
But my aunt refused to drink soapy water, so she didn’t know what would happen if she kept dragging her on.
Now that things have come to this, let’s just listen to my aunt and let people try again.
"Okay, let's give it a try." Bai Dashan rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward: "I'll do it."
"No, I'll do it."
"Stop fighting, I'll do it."
"I'm here, I must be the only one."
"..."
The villagers were vying to be the ones to test the poison, and no one was willing to back down. If there was not only one self-heating pot, they would have rushed forward long ago, fearing that it would overturn if they tried to grab it.
"I think..."
"Shut up!" Baitao interrupted Bai Dayong again.
He was choking and coughing like this. If he opened his mouth again, he didn't know what the trouble would be.
Bai Dayong had no choice but to shut up aggrievedly. He just felt that since he had tried it, should he be given a place? If something happened, he wouldn't need an extra person to help him.
But my aunt didn't allow him to say anything.
"Stop fighting, draw lots!"
This has been used before.
Baitao spoke, and although the villagers felt that they would be the fastest to try now, the others refused to give in, and it seemed that they could only decide by drawing lots.
Soon, two people came forward holding short-term lottery tickets.
Although they knew it was a poison test, the two of them were not afraid at all, and the sense of honor for standing out was still on their faces.
Baitao was helpless, why was he so active in testing poisons.
If she hadn't sneaked out to eat the snail noodles, she would have thought that the villagers would have known that she was talking nonsense about the poison test.
"Auntie~"
The two called out obediently, then looked at each other and took the chopsticks handed over by Bai Dashan next to them.
She obviously made the snail noodles by herself, but she only had two bites. She could have been enjoying the snail noodles, drinking milk tea and watching a drama.
Baitao is still hungry and watching others eat. You can imagine her depression.
How could Baitao admit that this was her own fault?
The smell of the spicy and smelly snail noodles made the villagers think it was poisonous. The two villagers who won the lottery did not hesitate. One chopstick and one chopstick, and they quickly ate them all, even the soup.
Don’t waste the main one. What if the poison in the soup is stronger? How will you know the effect until you finish drinking it?
But to be honest, although it doesn't taste good, it tastes really good. It would be nice if it wasn't poisonous.
"Okay." Baitao: "Let's wait a moment."
In fact, half an hour had passed since she discovered Baitao eating snail noodles. Apart from her cheeks being slightly red and her ears also being slightly flushed, she seemed to have no other symptoms.
There was no rolling stomachache, no foaming at the mouth, no sweating, pale face or black lips...
The villagers gradually believed that she was fine, but they were not sure, so they decided to see the reaction of the villagers who won the lottery and tried to eat.
Da da da... I suddenly want to eat snail noodles
