Wan Shu's lips twitched.

Oh right, how could she forget? It's a famine year. Even a young girl's first reaction to seeing a rabbit wouldn't be to raise it, but to eat it.

Si Ya looked up at Wan Shu with adorable eyes and asked, "Mommy, shall we have rabbit for dinner tonight?"

He readily agreed: "Okay!"

She once lived in Sichuan for a period of time and ate rabbit dishes such as boiled rabbit, dry pot rabbit, cold rabbit, hot pot rabbit, and even spicy rabbit head. She didn't resist eating rabbit at all.

Actually, when she was on the mountain the day before yesterday, she had considered whether to buy a rabbit and pretend that she had caught one, since there were the most rabbits on the mountain and they were the easiest to catch.

But after thinking about it, she realized that rabbits were all lean meat and not fat at all, so they were not suitable for her child who lacked oil and fat to supplement his body, and she gave up on that idea.

Unexpectedly, Siya caught one on her own today.

Although there is no fat, the protein in this dish is still a good thing.

Moreover, she hadn't eaten rabbit meat for a long time and was starting to miss it.

The mother and her two daughters returned home.

Dazhu, Sanshun, and Wuping were also delighted to see the rabbit, exclaiming how cute it was, and then quickly skinned it.

"Siya, you caught this rabbit. Tell me, how do you want to cook it?" Wan Shu asked.

Siya smacked her lips twice, remembering how Liang Yaozu had once boasted to her about how delicious the braised rabbit in the county restaurant was, and loudly replied, "Braised, Mother, I want to eat braised rabbit!"

Rabbits have a strong earthy smell, so they need to be heavily numbing and spicy, or seasoned with spices, to mask the smell.

However, the Great Sheng Dynasty did not have chili peppers at this time, and it would be too abrupt for her to take them out now. Thinking about it this way, braising would be a good option.

After all, when braising, all you need to do is add spices. And spices are grayish and inconspicuous, so they're not easy to spot.

Even so, Wan Shu carefully sent the five people away while she was putting out the spices.

"Why is there such a commotion outside? Go out and see what's going on."

After Wan Shu finished putting away the spices, the five people returned with the news.

"Mother, I heard from those uncles and aunts that it seems Aunt Wu ate some poisonous herbs and got poisoned!"

"Everyone is gathered around her house now, helping her induce vomiting!"

Wan Shu: "Poisonous grass? What's that?"

"A poisonous weed is a poisonous weed."

"It's a kind of green grass that's poisonous; eating it will cause poisoning."

Wan Shu: "..." That's like saying nothing at all!

She decided to go and see for herself.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would have to go up the mountain frequently in the future, and if she accidentally ingested poisonous herbs, she would be doomed.

She instructed the others to keep watch over the fire at home, and then headed towards Aunt Wu's residence, following her memory.

As luck would have it, just as she arrived at the Wan family's door, Wan's parents and Wan Feng also came out.

Upon discovering Wan Shu standing outside the door, the three of them were startled and instinctively tried to hide inside.

"Father, Mother, Little Brother."

But this time, Wan Shu didn't spit at them as usual. Instead, she gave them a faint smile and took the initiative to talk to them.

Are you also going to Aunt Wu's house?

The three of them were stunned at first, and then their eyes reddened again.

It seems that their misperception last time wasn't wrong. Shu'er/Sister really has forgiven them and is willing to talk to them!

Wan's father and Wan Feng were not good with words. They blinked their sore eyes, unsure of what to say.

Mother Wan glared at them, thinking to herself, "What two useless men!" Shu'er had finally managed to get them to talk, so they had to seize this opportunity!

She immediately forced a smile, and, seizing the opportunity, dragged the two useless men to follow beside Wan Shu.

"Yes, we've had experiences with poisoning from eating poisonous plants before, so we wanted to go and see if we could help in any way."

Wan Shu was just asking casually to strike up a conversation, but she never expected that this question would lead to the discovery of three victims of poisonous plants.

Based on this probability, there must be quite a few people who have eaten poisonous plants.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Are poisonous plants really that delicious? If they're poisonous, why do so many people eat them?"

When the topic came up, Mr. Wan became more talkative: "What's so delicious about it? The poisonous plant tastes just like any other wild vegetable. We got poisoned because the poisonous plant had just started growing and no one knew it was poisonous, so we ate it as a wild vegetable."

"As for you, Aunt Wu..."

Mother Wan sighed, "Aunt Wu has had a hard life. Her husband passed away a few years ago, and her son passed away last year, leaving behind two boys who are about ten years old. As a woman raising two boys, how could she possibly save any money? To keep her grandsons from going hungry, she only eats wild vegetables to fill their stomachs every day."

Wan Shu frowned slightly: "Wild vegetables have no nutritional value. How can we endure this for a long time?"

Mother Wan: "That's right. I guess she was so hungry that her eyesight was failing, which is why she mistook the poisonous plant for a wild grass."

As they were talking, the group of four arrived at Aunt Wu's house.

A considerable number of people had already gathered in Aunt Wu's dilapidated mud-brick courtyard.

Chief Wang stood in the middle with his son. One of them pried open Aunt Wu's mouth, while the other tried to pierce her throat.

With a "vomit," Aunt Wu vomited up a large pile of lush green wild vegetables.

The vomit certainly didn't smell very good, but the villagers watching all laughed.

"It's good to spit it out, it's good to spit it out!"

"The poisonous herb isn't very toxic. Once you vomit it out, you'll gradually recover!"

Aunt Wu slowly woke up, still unaware of what had happened: "What happened to me?"

"You ate poisonous herbs and almost lost your life!"

“Aunt Wu, no offense, but no matter how much you try to save food, you can’t eat poisonous plants.”
