This time we did not meet Yuan Baotong, brother and sister, only six brothers and sisters from the Song family walked up the mountain.
Compared with yesterday, there were obviously many more people entering the mountain today.
It is said that someone picked relatively rare wild fruits and put them at the city gate and sold them all at a good price.
With such a temptation, the victims who are extremely short of money naturally don't want to miss it.
This time, Song Qingqing and others kept a close eye on Song Xixi, fearing that she would do something heart-stopping as soon as she was out of sight.
Song Xixi couldn't find a chance to "escape", so she could only follow them to look for wild fruits.
With the premise of "independent picking", the wild fruits Song Qingqing and the others found, no matter whether they were poisonous or not, could not be counted in her mission. This made Song Xixi very distressed and had to work hard to be faster than them.
The discovery of wild fruits.
After bypassing a tall forest, a large bush suddenly appeared in front of it, with densely packed orange-red fruits hanging on it. The size and color were similar to small kumquats, so she almost thought they were small kumquats.
Song Xixi did not hesitate, and quickly stepped forward to pick off one. She gently pinched the skin of the fruit with her fingernails, revealing the yellow flesh inside. There was a light fragrance in her nose.
"It looks like it's not poisonous at first sight!" Song Xixi was so happy that she just wiped it twice and put the whole fruit into her mouth.
As she imagined, the fruit tastes good, no worse than the small red fruits and wild grapes collected yesterday.
"Little sister, we have never seen this fruit before. It is probably poisonous. Don't eat it yet." When Song Qingqing saw this dense wild fruit, her scalp went numb for some reason, and she quickly stopped Song Xixi from stuffing it into her mouth.
Wild fruit behavior.
"It tastes so good, can't it be poisonous?" Song Xixi bit into half of the fruit and felt it carefully, but did not notice anything strange about her body.
"If you like it, let's pick more. We'll ask the locals when we get down the mountain later." Song Qingqing was still worried. She had never eaten this kind of wild fruit in her previous life, and she wasn't sure whether it was poisonous or not.
Song Xixi didn't want to get entangled in such a trivial matter, so she followed her suggestion.
But when Song Qingqing was picking fruits with her back turned, she still secretly stuffed several into her mouth.
Regardless of whether it is poisonous or not, I have eaten it anyway. It is just a good time to confirm whether this wild fruit is the third non-toxic wild fruit I am looking for.
It's best if it's not poisonous, and there's no need to be afraid of poisonous ones. Unlimited amounts of antidote pills are still waiting in the system warehouse. So far, she hasn't had a chance to verify the miraculous efficacy of these pills.
Thinking of this, Song Xixi simply gave up and stuffed one into his mouth as soon as he picked one. In a short time, he had eaten at least a pound of wild fruit.
There were too many of these wild fruits, and they were not sure whether they were poisonous or not. Song Qingqing and others stopped after picking a bag and prepared to look for other wild fruits.
Song Xixi felt thirsty, so she took out the bamboo tube she carried with her and drank the full tube of water in one breath, barely relieving the dryness in her throat.
At this time, Song Xixi didn't realize that she had been tricked. Seeing that 001 did not send a reminder that the mission was completed, she thought that this guy was stuck and didn't take it to heart.
Before she could find the next wild fruit, she began to feel thirsty again, and even felt a strange burning sensation in her throat, as if it was on fire.
No matter how big-hearted Song Xixi was, she realized something was wrong and silently called 001: "Am I poisoned?"
001 sighed: [Host, did you just react now? 】
Song Xixi was confused, but found that her vision was blurry, and Song Qingqing, who was walking at the front, had completely changed her shape.
Is this a deepening of toxins?
Song Xixi's face changed slightly, and she immediately took out the antidote pills from the system warehouse, poured one pill into her mouth, bit it into pieces and swallowed it directly.
The taste of the detoxification pills is not good. Not only is it bitter and astringent, it also has a strong stench, which is comparable to a dead rat in June. I really don’t know what it is made of.
However, the effect of the medicine is indeed very obvious. In just a few breaths, a warmth rises from the heart and flows to the limbs and bones, which greatly relieves the discomfort in Song Xixi's throat.
"vomit--"
A foul smell of blood rushed straight into his throat. Song Xixi couldn't help but hold on to the big tree next to her and spit out the black blood.
"Little sister!"
The sudden change frightened Song Niannian, Song Qingshan and others who were walking behind her, and they staggered forward to help their shaky little cousin.
When Song Qingqing heard the noise, she looked back and her expression suddenly changed. She dropped her bag full of poisonous fruits and rushed over: "Little sister, what's wrong with you!"
Song Xixi's face turned pale, as if she might die at any moment: "No, it's okay. It'll be fine in a while. Don't worry..."
She was still too impatient. She shouldn't have been poisoned in front of their interview. The way she looked now frightened them.
"I'm vomiting blood, how can I be okay! Stop talking, I'll carry you down the mountain to find a doctor!" Song Qingqing held Song Xixi's face covered in blood, and she was so anxious that tears fell down.
"It's okay, I'm really okay." Song Xixi felt that her breathing was much smoother, but her vitality was severely damaged, her hands and feet were weak and she couldn't use her strength: "Everything you vomit is poison, spit it out and you'll be fine."
"Really?" Song Qingqing was doubtful and observed her face carefully.
Song Xixi had to carry out her ancestor: "Really, my ancestor couldn't bear to let me accompany him, so he gave me a bit of immortal power to let me detoxify on my own."
At this moment, her complexion looked better to the naked eye, and Song Qingqing had to believe her words: "Just lie down and stop talking."
Song Xixi nodded slowly, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to bear the medicinal properties of the detoxification pills, impacting the veins of her body over and over again.
The taste is so sour and refreshing, as if there are thousands of ants crawling back and forth in the thick and thin meridians.
Immediately afterwards, a layer of black mud oozed from Song Xixi's exposed skin. The smell was smelly and fishy, causing Song Qingqing who was closest to her to vomit.
"Little sister, this, this is too scary, are you okay?" Song Qingshan and others also covered their noses due to the smell, but they still squatted on the spot and did not move away. They looked at Song Xixi with increasingly worried eyes.
"It's okay, I feel much better..." Song Xixi also felt disgusted, and had to accept the fact that she had become smelly, with a look of despair written all over her face.
After another half an hour, Song Xixi's face finally returned to normal. It was no longer as pale as before, but her strength had not yet fully recovered, and she was almost the same as an ordinary child.
If a wild boar jumped out at this time, she would have no choice but to lie flat and let it be trampled on.
001 said that this is the sequelae of every poisoning. The stronger the toxin, the weaker it will be after detoxification, and it will take a few days for the body to repair itself.
At the end, this fellow said in a tone as if Song Xixi had taken advantage of him: "There is no detoxification pill in Shennong's Taste of Baicao. The host is so lucky to have encountered this system~"
Song Xixi closed her eyes and rested, too lazy to argue with it.
She didn't have to test the poison without meeting this guy, but there was a high probability that she would die on the way to escape. After careful consideration, she was still grateful to it.
