Chapter 17 The Detoxification Incident Involving the Consumption of Spirit Dew

He only breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath of fresh air after retreating fifty meters away and no longer smelling the odor.

"Ugh~" The smell seemed to follow Lin Wenqian, even as he breathed heavily. Lin Wenqian could no longer hold back, bent over, and vomited violently.

He was vomiting and crying at the same time, not because he felt bad, but because he was heartbroken that he had thrown up his dinner.

"Ugh~" Just when Lin Wenqian thought he was the only victim, the sound of vomiting and cursing began to come from the village.

Everyone's cursing who's so heartless as to be carrying manure in the middle of the night...

Even Lin Dayou's room was filled with the sound of retching, which shows how strong and intense the smell was.

Hearing the insults, Lin Wenqian was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound. He covered his mouth and nose and stood guard not far away, trembling with fear, waiting for Lin Luoxi.

"Big brother, I guess I can't go back now." Lin Luoxi came out of the latrine with a bitter look on her face.

"What's wrong? Why can't we go home?" Could it be that, as he suspected, his sister really did fall into the latrine?

Under the moonlight, he checked Lin Luoxi up and down; aside from some dirt and blemishes, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

"Big brother, I've marinated it well." Lin Luoxi didn't need to smell directly against her clothes to smell the scent on herself.

"What's marinated well?" Lin Wenqian walked over worriedly, but before he even got close, the smell emanating from Lin Luoxi was overwhelming.

"Second sister, what did you do? It smells awful." It was even worse than poop, so Lin Wenqian quickly pinched his nose.

"Come on, I'll take you to the stream south of the village to wash up." Luckily, it's summer now.

"Okay!" Knowing she smelled bad, Lin Luoxi resigned herself to following behind Lin Wenqian, heading south of the village.

Wherever she went, the guard dogs reacted, all barking wildly in Lin Luoxi's direction.

The villagers, seeing the dog barking so loudly, thought it was some kind of demon or something unseen, and dared not utter a sound, letting the guard dog bark as loudly as it wanted.

Lin Wenqian didn't dare to get close to Lin Luoxi at all, and walked very fast, leaving Lin Luoxi far behind.

Lin Luoxi knew that she smelled bad at the moment, so she didn't dare to ask Lin Wenqian to wait for her.

"We're here. You can wash up in the shallows now, but the stream is still quite deep," Lin Wenqian instructed Lin Luoxi, pointing to the stream that shimmered white in the moonlight.

"Okay, big brother, I understand." Lin Luoxi couldn't resist any longer when she saw the water. She took off her shoes and quickly walked into the water.

The clothes that have already been marinated are now ready to be washed clean.

"Huh, why are my clothes so greasy with mud?" Lin Luoxi was sure that she had just changed into these clothes later that night, so there was no way they would have such grease.

However, the stream was flowing and the water surface was large, so washing was not difficult. Lin Luoxi stopped thinking about it and quickly washed off the smell from her body.

Lin Luoxi, who was busy washing herself, had no idea that the dirty water flowing down her body was gradually disturbing the fish of all sizes in the stream.

Lin Luoxi, who was squatting in the water washing herself, touched something cold on her face and was about to scream.

And there she was, under the moonlight, surrounded by fish that had turned belly up, gleaming with silver light.

Lin Luoxi immediately realized that it must be because of the smell on her body, and quickly stood up from the stream.

"Big brother, big brother, so many fish..." But she didn't dare say it was her smell that had upset the fish.

Lin Wenqian: "Little sister, are you still half asleep, or are you seeing things? Where did you get fish in the middle of the night?"

Despite saying that, he resigned himself to walking to Lin Luoxi's side to prevent her from being led into deeper waters by the guide fish.

"Big brother, look, what a big fish!" Lin Luoxi, afraid that Lin Wenqian wouldn't believe her, held up the big fish she had just caught and shook it in the stream.

The big fish was only stunned by the toxins expelled from Lin Luoxi's body, not dead. Lin Luoxi picked it up and exposed its body to the air. It wagged its tail a couple of times in discomfort.

However, to be honest, although the stream wasn't very big, the fish inside were quite large, Lin Luoxi exclaimed.

"Second sister, hurry back after you're done washing. There's fish, so what? It's not that strange. This fish doesn't taste good. It has a fishy smell after cooking. It's awful."

Lin Wenqian thought Lin Luoxi must be craving meat, because she was so excited to see such a fish with such a strong muddy smell.

"What? It tastes bad? Brother, if you know how to cook this fish, it won't taste fishy at all, and it's very nutritious. It would be perfect for Mom and Dad, who are feeling weak, to drink some fish soup."

The fish of varying sizes in front of her looked to Lin Luoxi like plates of delicious fish meat.

Seeing Lin Wenqian's disgusted expression, Lin Luoxi stopped arguing with him and quickly picked up the fish while they were still dazed by the smoke.

Otherwise, once the stream water dilutes the filth she excretes, the fish will escape.

The big fish was too slippery to hold with one hand, and Lin Wenqian was still standing on the shore and had no intention of coming down to help, so Lin Luoxi had to do it herself.

One by one, Lin Luoxi caught the fish and threw them onto the shore with swift and decisive movements.

So many fish have been delivered to our doorstep, let's catch them quickly, we can't miss this opportunity, let's take advantage of the moonlight.

Of course, Lin Luoxi used the stream as cover to secretly pick up a few of the largest fish and put them into her spatial storage.

"Second sister, let me do it!" Standing on the shore, Lin Wenqian saw Lin Luoxi grabbing the water with great enthusiasm and couldn't resist getting in. He rolled up his trousers and went into the water.

"Okay!" Lin Wenqian went into the water to help, and Lin Luoxi naturally got up and casually picked a few blades of grass by the river to string the fish together.

A quarter of an hour later, the water flowing down from the mountain source had completely diluted the stream where Lin Luoxi and the others were, and the unconscious fish regained consciousness.

Under the cover of darkness, it quietly swished its tail and left.

"Big brother, it's here. It's enough to eat for a long time." Lin Luoxi looked at the big fish she had skewered, there were already four skewers, and there were twenty or thirty more on top.

In summer, fish and meat don't keep well, so quickly have Lin Wenqian bring them up.

Although it is early summer, the stream water is still quite cool at midnight.

"Okay!" Lin Wenqian was in the middle of catching fish and hadn't gotten addicted yet.

However, seeing that none of the fish around him had turned belly up, he could only regretfully go ashore.

If I had known it would be this fun, I wouldn't have hesitated for so long, Lin Wenqian thought to himself with regret.

However, looking at all the fish lying on the shore, he smiled contentedly.

"Second sister, is this fish really good for your health?" Lin Wenqian hadn't forgotten how, when he was so hungry he wanted to eat people, he went to great lengths to catch a fish from the river to eat.
