Chapter 39 Let Jian Xiaotao fend for herself

Tao Xi and Jian Shiming looked at each other. Seeing Jian Laosi's guilty look, they were afraid that he had really taken it. As for whether he had eaten it or not, they didn't know yet.

"If you really take it, it's best not to eat it."

Tao Xi never thought that people could be so greedy, but there were actually many people who had the same idea as Jian Laosi.

Jian Laosi caught a glimpse of the emotions in everyone's eyes and felt quite proud, "I didn't take it, I just felt a pity that there was so much food on the ground."

He thought Tao Xi must be jealous of him and jealous that he had such a good idea!

"It's a pity that we can't eat even if we want to."

"Li Zheng, why don't we go back and take a look?"

"This is a good idea, Fourth Brother. He is a scholar after all, and his brain works faster than ours."

"..."

Li Zheng was very confused. Jian Shiming's attitude just now told him that the matter was not that simple.

But the villagers couldn't read a single word, so how could they know this? He could only look at Jian Shiming as if asking for help.

"Brother Ming, tell me something."

"My wife has just said that."

Jian Shiming shook his head, "The food in the pile of dead people is inedible, including other things. We'd better not eat or touch it."

"Why, that's such a waste."

Someone raised a question, and Tao Xi subconsciously wanted to explain that those things were contaminated by bacteria.

If you eat it, you may be infected with some kind of plague. Just explain cell contamination to these ancients, will they understand?

Fortunately, Jian Shiming was still there. He cleared his throat and explained: "It is recorded in ancient books that it is best not to eat things that have been eaten by predators and other animals that have eaten dirty things.

We used to not eat things that rats have gnawed on because their teeth are poisonous and may even be infected. We humans may be poisoned if we eat things that rats have gnawed on."

"The locusts are not carnivores."

Jian Laosi was unwilling to let Jian Shiming overturn his idea, and said rather dissatisfied:

"I think you did it on purpose."

"Of course my husband didn't mean it!"

Tao Xi sneered, "The locusts have mutated to the point of eating people, do you still think they are not poisonous?"

Everyone:......

When Tao Xi said this, everyone fell silent. Yes, locusts can eat people, so how can they not be poisonous?

Even if there are non-poisonous foods, how can they be sure that they are non-poisonous?

"How do you know if you are poisoned?"

Jian Laosi was not very happy, "If it wasn't poisoned, wouldn't we have wasted a lot of food?"

"If you really want to know, why don't you just try it yourself?"

Jian Shiwu said something unexpectedly, which made Jian Laosigeng's heart ache.

After what Tao Xi and Jian Shiming said, even though he had doubts in his heart, he didn't have the courage to try again.

"Mom, it's not good. My little girl is vomiting and having diarrhea. She's about to lose her strength now!"

Suddenly a sharp voice came over, and Lady Jian Sanniang ran over in a hurry, startling everyone.

"This idiot!"

Jian Laosi was very angry. He and Jian Xiaotao were twins, so they had a very good relationship. He also put the cake in Jian Xiaotao's hand for safekeeping.

Tao Xi and Jian Shiming's hearts suddenly trembled at Jian Lao Si's anger. Before Jian Lao Si could react, Tao Xi gave a cold snort.

"Did she eat the food over there?"

"without……"

Jian Laosi didn't want to admit it, but his twinkling eyes were enough to explain everything.

Old Mrs. Jian immediately glared at Tao Xi fiercely, "You evil woman, why are you so cruel? I will never spare you for being so evil!"

"Shut up!"

Tao Xi turned to look at Li Zheng and said in a serious tone: "Li Zheng, if Jian Xiaotao really suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after eating those foods, we have to deal with this matter properly.

Because it’s still unknown whether that kind of poisoning is contagious.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone quickly took a few steps back and stayed far away from Mrs. Jian.

She had been staying with Jian Xiaotao just now, who knew if she was infected.

"You...you..."

Jian Laosi pointed at everyone with trembling hands, his mind was buzzing and he wished he could turn back time.

"Quick, go and ask for Doctor Barefoot."

Li Zheng almost fainted with anger. These people from the old Jian family were really the rat excrement of their Taomu Village.

A speck of mouse droppings ruins a pot of soup.

"Li Zheng, my wife is right. The plague has been contagious since ancient times. It is not known whether the locusts are poisonous or not. We should be more careful."

Jian Shiming looked serious and had no doubts about Tao Xi's words, which made Tao Xi feel happy.

This male protagonist is actually quite cute.

It was because she was narrow-minded and misunderstood him before. She must treat him better in the future.

"You are right."

Li was stroking his heart, fearing that he would be fainted. He looked at the villagers who were avoiding Lao Jian's family.

"Let's all fix it where we are. I'll take the doctor to see Jian Xiaotao."

"Li Zheng, you'd better not go. What if you get infected?"

"Yes, yes, Li Zheng, you must not go, otherwise you will be harmed by Lao Jian's family!"

"It's a day-by-day thing, I think they can just do it alone."

"..."

The villagers were very dissatisfied, and Old Man Jian panicked. He immediately promised:

"Don't be angry, everyone. Don't be angry. It's Xiao Tao and Si'er who are ignorant. I will take good care of them in the future."

"Is this being ignorant? This is seeking wealth and murder!"

Someone spat at them, and it was clear that they were disgusted with them.

Jian Laosi is a scholar after all, and he cares about face most, and his face suddenly turned red.

Li Zheng was very embarrassed by everyone's dissuasion, but the barefoot doctor who had just arrived also refused the matter.

"Li Zheng, what Brother Ming said is right. This is recorded in ancient books. There was plague in ancient times. The locusts left behind when crossing the border may not be affected by the epidemic. I am old and can't be sure, so I still won't go.

Look!”

He still has a wife and children at home, so he can't afford to take this risk.

"What should I do with my little peach?"

Mrs. Jian was crying and sad. This was the first time Tao Xi saw her showing a distressed expression.

It seems that this old woman still has her heart, but her heart is too small, and she only pretends to have a few children of her own.

"This...this...what should I do?"

Li Zhengchou's hair was about to fall out, when suddenly someone whispered a suggestion.

"I think we should leave Jian Xiaotao alone and let her fend for herself."

"Yes, yes, we can't harm our entire village just because of her."

"Miss Jian Sanniang has also contacted Jian Xiaotao. I think she has to stay."

"..."

The previous scene of Hu Zi fainting happened again, and Tao Xi felt uncomfortable, but it was not because of Jian Xiaotao that she would not feel bad for that disaster.

What makes her uncomfortable is today's world. The human heart is the most unable to withstand temptation.

"No, no!"

Old Mrs. Jian was rolling around on the ground, "You can't leave my little peach, who said she was poisoned?

Maybe she just has diarrhea? Why are you so cruel!"
