Chapter 22: The Divine Power of the System Laxative

Grandma Li sighed and continued.

"When Huasheng and I rushed back, we found that in addition to the four people in the courtyard, Da Ya in the corner had the same symptoms.

Da Ya's grandmother also fell in the room, and the most miserable one was Jiang Shizai, who fell into the latrine. It took several people to fish him out."

"Tsk!"

Everyone frowned in unison, the word "disgust" already written on their faces.

"After Huasheng checked, he said they must have eaten something wrong, which is why the whole family kept having diarrhea."

After listening to Grandma Li's description, Jiang Jinshi, who knew the truth, found it not difficult to guess the cause and effect.

His cheap grandfather liked to rely on his status as the head of the family to suppress everyone. If anyone dared not listen to him, he would inevitably scold or even beat them.

The latrine in the Jiang family was small and narrow, only enough to accommodate one person.

The whole family ate the laxative produced by the system, so he must have wanted to occupy the latrine alone.

He must have squatted in the latrine for too long, and his legs were soft when he got up, causing him to fall into the manure pit.

Someone beside Jiang Jinshi guessed: "Did they eat poisonous kudzu?"

Poisonous kudzu is cassava, which contains toxicity. Because no one knows the correct way to handle it, no one is willing to eat this thing.

And if you eat poisonous kudzu, you have to pour golden juice (manure water), and you'll be fine after vomiting it out.

Grandma Li shook her head: "I didn't see any poisonous kudzu in the house, and eating poisonous kudzu doesn't cause diarrhea. Huasheng said the situation is very serious."

At this time, Grandma Li asked Jiang Jinshi again.

"Little Ten, do you want to go see?"

Jiang Jinshi, who was still secretly laughing, was suddenly named, and he almost let them see his upturned corners of his mouth.

Damn mouth!

Stop curling up!!

Jiang Jinshi managed his expressions for a while, and finally sighed: "Listening to what you said, Grandma Li, I am also very concerned about my grandparents and eldest and second uncles, but..."

After his face showed a bit of desolation, he continued: "Since I was a child, my grandparents didn't like our family, so I'd better not go, so as not to make them feel bad when they see me."

The villagers also knew something about Jiang Jinshi's family. Hearing Jiang Jinshi say this, they all nodded deeply.

Some busybodies had already carried empty buckets and walked towards the Jiang family's courtyard, obviously wanting to join in the fun.

The queue of people suddenly became much smaller. Jiang Jinshi took the opportunity to run to the river to fetch water and walked home with the bucket.

Li Xinyue looked at his back as he carried the water. He didn't look sad at all. If there was no one around, he might even be able to sing a few lines.

Now Li Xinyue also guessed something. It turned out that going out last night was to do this.

As a scholar with "no strength to truss a chicken," a head-on confrontation was indeed unwise. No matter what method he used, at least he was willing to use his own method to protect his family, which was a bit like a man.

After pouring the water into the water vat, Jiang Jinshi took Li Xinyue and walked towards the outside of the village.

He didn't know how Huasheng's medical skills were, but it would be best for them to lie down for a few more days.

After all, he had to go out every day, and there was no man at home. If his eldest and second uncles came to make trouble again, he was afraid that his family would be bullied.

So the laxative sent by the system just happened to come in handy, allowing him to go out with peace of mind.

At worst, when they were almost better, he would go again.

No other meaning, just pure torture.

Along the way, the two kept a distance of less than five steps, but both tacitly didn't speak.

Jiang Jinshi didn't know what to say. After all, the generation gap between the two wasn't just age, but also cross-era differences.

Li Xinyue didn't think so much. She just wanted to maintain her persona and avoid being seen as abnormal.

Helping out yesterday was because she thought it would be easier to talk when they divorced later, but after that, she must not do it again.

At first, Jiang Jinshi was worried that the journey was too long for Li Xinyue to persist, so he deliberately slowed down.

Later, he realized that his worry was unnecessary. Years of labor made Li Xinyue's body have some strength, at least better than a modern college student's body.

But with such high-intensity labor and not enough food, there would be some hidden illnesses in the body.

Jiang Jinshi decided to secretly add some Hundred Diseases Fading Pills to the dishes at night, which could be considered a reward for her help yesterday.

It's just that he didn't know how to bring up the divorce. Thinking of this, the restless Jiang Jinshi scratched his scalp.

With the thinking of this backward feudal dynasty, if he said divorce, he was afraid that this girl would seek death.

Sigh! Let's just leave it for now!

It was still the familiar location at the intersection, only this time there were three people waiting.

Seeing Jiang Jinshi, Luo Jin whispered to Luo Feng.

"There is someone behind Brother Jiang, be careful when you speak."

When you don't know the other party's identity, appropriate camouflage can avoid a lot of trouble.

After getting closer, Jiang Jinshi first focused his eyes on the new member.

Less than 1.6 meters tall, naked upper body, dark skin particularly eye-catching under the scorching sun, and there was unease and nervousness on his immature face.

Luo Feng walked up and introduced him to Jiang Jinshi.

"Brother! This is my distant cousin. Don't look at his young age, he is a steady and hardworking person."

While speaking, Luo Feng inadvertently looked at Li Xinyue behind Jiang Jinshi.

Before Jiang Jinshi could speak, Li Xinyue tactfully walked to the other side, leaving space for the few to talk.

On one hand, she wasn't interested in Jiang Jinshi's social life, and on the other hand, that man was clearly lying.

In this place where communication was very backward, the clothes of those few people weren't very good, even worse than the people in Da Jiang Cun.

Although the original owner Li Zhaodi hadn't seen the world, she could still distinguish the accents of the ten miles and eight villages. That person's accent didn't match the one in her memory, and it was highly likely that he wasn't a local.

How did that so-called distant relative find him so accurately?

After getting closer, the other party's scrutinizing gaze carried a hint of vigilance. Perhaps he thought his performance wasn't obvious, but her keen observation captured this point accurately.

Overall, Li Xinyue boldly guessed that the other party was lying.

After Li Xinyue walked away, Luo Feng asked in a low voice: "Captain! I was afraid of exposure, so I didn't dare to tell the truth just now."

Jiang Jinshi didn't expect Li Xinyue to take the initiative to walk away, but this was also good for her, avoiding involving the other party.

"Oh! She really doesn't know the truth."

Luo Feng was complacent that he had done the right thing, and Luo Jin beside him spoke casually.

"Then~ Brother Jiang, who is she?"

"My wife! This is not important, introduce this little brother to me first." Jiang Jinshi looked at the other party with interest, not noticing Luo Jin's disappointed expression at all.

Luo Feng raised his hand to introduce to Jiang Jinshi: "His name is Wang Hou, he is a beggar. I saw that he was quite smart, so I prepared to pull him into the team for you to see, Captain."

Jiang Jinshi nodded and asked Wang Hou: "What is your situation? Why do you want to join our Yangguangzhai?"

Wang Hou was a bit restrained, and his speech wasn't so smooth: "I... I was originally a beggar in Jiangcheng. After the refugees gathered, I was driven out by the city guards."

Then Wang Hou paused, as if observing Jiang Jinshi's reaction. Seeing that Jiang Jinshi was expressionless, he continued to answer.

"Brother Luo said that after joining Yangguangzhai, I can eat my fill, so I came." ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
