Chapter 72 Drinking Soapy Water
Bai Dashan was the village chief. He rushed back like a gust of wind and shouted for people to dilute the soapy water.

Soon after, Bai Duoxi and others came back carrying white peaches. This scene instantly made the villagers confused and panicked.

"what happened?"

"What's going on here?"

"Auntie, what's going on?"

"What happened?"

Was he bitten by a snake?
No, soapy water can induce vomiting.

Soon soapy water was brought over, and the villagers who gathered around after hearing the news also knew what was going on. Suddenly, more people became panicked and scared.

Bai Tao was finally put down. She sat up and shouted, "Don't panic! Don't believe everything you hear. I'm really fine!"

"Auntie, please drink a little."

"I don't want to!" She was crazy again. Why should she drink soapy water for no reason?

It’s not that the villagers didn’t want to pour the wine into the pot, but they were afraid of hurting Bai Tao. Plus, she got up and jumped into the sedan chair, not allowing anyone to get close.

"I've already told you, I'm fine. Look at my face." Bai Tao put her hands behind her back and tilted her face to show everyone, saying, "Look, do I look like I'm fine?"

"I'm fine!"

"Don't scare yourself. Don't I know whether I'm poisoned or not?"

After hearing this, everyone stared at Bai Tao's face closely.

Well... he looks fine, but his face seems a little pale and a little red, and the corners of his ears seem a little red as well.

"This..." Not sure.

At this moment, Bai Dayong squeezed in while coughing, his hair was messy, the corners of his eyes were red, and his voice was weak: "Where is my aunt? Is my aunt okay?"

"Cough...cough...cough..."

At this moment, the villagers who were still hesitant immediately felt a pang in their hearts. Bai Dayong was in such a state, how could the old lady be okay?

No, I can't let me do that. The lack of reaction now doesn't mean that I'm not poisoned. If the poison takes effect, it will be too late.

Bai Shanquan pulled Bai Youfu beside him, and as soon as the two took a step forward, Bai Tao immediately pointed with her little hand: "Don't move!"

"I am the aunt, if anyone dares to mess around, I will drive him out of the village!"

Bai Tao could never have imagined that she had only been secretly having a meal, but this would lead to such a ridiculous incident.

But at this moment, Bai Tao could not take back her words even if she was beaten to death, otherwise she would lose all face.

The main purpose of poison testing is to test it, but it doesn’t say that it must be poisonous.

"I say again, I'm fine and don't need to drink soapy water!" Soapy water is not a panacea.

"Auntie..." No one knew who started it, but the villagers knelt down in a large number.

Even Bai Dongdong and the other three, who were in confinement after giving birth, didn't know when they came out. At this moment, they came out holding their babies and knelt beside the tent.

"Auntie, if anything happens to you, what should we do?"

"How can we face our ancestors..."

"Woo woo... We are useless!"

Who would test poison for no reason? It must be for the big guy.

I said those new and novel things come at a price, but I didn’t expect the price to be this much.

No wonder the old lady hid herself. She was just afraid that everyone would find out.

Bai Tao had no idea what the villagers were thinking, but she was speechless to see so many people, old and young, kneeling on the ground.

But it was impossible to make her drink soapy water. It was impossible no matter what, not in this lifetime.

"Well, if you're worried, two of you can give it a try and see for yourself whether it's poisonous or not, okay?"

"Ahem... Auntie, I'm not..." Bai Dayong said while coughing. "Shut up!" Bai Tao yelled at him in anger.

If it weren't for him, the villagers would have believed her a long time ago.

"The reason you're coughing is because you ate too hastily and choked on the spicy sauce."

what?
Is that so?
Bai Dayong was stunned for a moment. This shouldn’t be the reason, right?
The villagers looked at each other. What the aunt said made sense, but they were not sure at the moment.

What if the poison reaches the heart and lungs?

But my aunt refused to drink the soapy water, and who knows what kind of problems would arise if we dragged it on.

Now that things have come to this, let's just listen to my aunt and let someone try again.

"Okay, let's give it a try." Bai Dashan rolled up his sleeves and took a big step forward: "I'll do it."

"No, I'll do it."

"Don't argue, I'll do it."

"I'll come, and I must be there."

"..."

The villagers vied to be the poison tester and no one was willing to back down. If there wasn't only one self-heating pot, they would have rushed forward long ago for fear of tipping it over if they tried to grab it.

"I think……"

"Shut up!" Bai Tao interrupted Bai Dayong again.

He was coughing so hard because of choking, and if he opened his mouth again, who knows what kind of trouble would come out.

Bai Dayong had no choice but to shut his mouth in grievance. He just thought that since he had tried it, he should be given a place so that he wouldn't need to have one more person to take with him if anything happened.

But his aunt wouldn't let him say a word.

"Stop arguing, draw lots!"

This is how I used to do it before.

Bai Tao spoke, and although the villagers all thought that they would try the fastest now, no one else would give in, so it seemed that they had no choice but to decide by drawing lots.

Soon, two people came forward holding short signatures.

Although they knew it was a poison test, the two were not afraid at all, and the sense of honor of standing out was still written on their faces.

Bai Tao was helpless, why were they so enthusiastic in testing poison?

If she hadn't sneaked out to eat the snail noodles, she would have thought that the villagers had already known that the poison testing story was just nonsense from her.

"Auntie~"

The two of them called out obediently, then looked at each other and took the chopsticks handed to them by Bai Dashan.

She had clearly prepared the snail noodles herself, but she only ate two bites. She could have happily eaten the snail noodles, drank milk tea and watched a drama.

Bai Tao was still hungry and watching others eat, you can imagine how depressed she felt.

There was no way Bai Tao would admit that this mistake was caused by her own slip of the tongue.

The smell of the spicy and smelly snail noodles made the villagers believe that it was poisonous. The two villagers who were chosen did not hesitate. They took turns to eat it with chopsticks and quickly ate it all, even the soup.

The main thing is not to waste it. What if the poison in the soup is more concentrated? How will you know the effect if you don’t finish it?

But to be honest, although it doesn't taste good, it tastes really good. It would be great if it wasn't poisonous.

"Okay." Bai Tao: "Everyone wait a moment."

In fact, half an hour had passed since Bai Tao was found to have been troubled by eating snail noodles. Apart from her slightly red cheeks and ears, she seemed to have no other symptoms.

There was no rolling around in a stomachache, no foaming at the mouth, no sweating, no pale face, or black lips...

The villagers gradually believed that she was fine, but they were not sure, so they decided to see the reactions of the villagers who had won the lottery to try the food.

　Da da da...suddenly want to eat snail rice noodle
