Chapter 8: Poisoning due to food poisoning

"Okay, if you want to strengthen your body, that's fine, but don't overdo it. It will actually harm your body!"

Gu Luyun thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Mom, Auntie, I want to take a walk around this island and get familiar with the environment."

Su Qian stood up, planning to go for a walk and find a reason to use the trading market to exchange for something useful.

"Ah Qian, I'll go with you!"

Su Xi stood up quickly. They were unfamiliar with this deserted island, so having more people would always be helpful.

Uh, Su Qian was dumbfounded. If she went with him, how could he trade things out of thin air?

Just when Su Qian was about to find a reason to refuse, she suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry from the side, "Dabao, what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Don't scare your mother!"

Hearing the noise, Su Qian and the others all looked towards the place where the sound came from.

"Did Dabao get into trouble? Let's go check it out!"

The second aunt of the Su family stood up first and went there.

Su Dabao seemed to be the youngest son of the original body's father's cousin. Although he had not taken care of the original body along the way, he had not taken advantage of the situation to ridicule them either.

So, when the second aunt of the Su family heard that something happened to Su Dabao, she quickly got up to check it out.

"Mom, let me go and see too!"

Su Qian thought for a moment, said something to Gu Luyun, and followed the Su family's second aunt. Of course, as a good sister, Su Xi must have followed closely.

At this moment, Dabao's mother was kneeling on the ground with a sad expression, holding Dabao tightly in her arms, tears falling from her eyes.

Su Dabao in her arms had a purple face, his whole body was twitching, and there was a trace of foam at the corner of his mouth.

"What's going on? What happened to Dabao?"

The old patriarch who came rushing over after hearing the noise pushed away the onlookers and asked Dabao's father with a concerned look on his face.

Dabao's father stood there blankly, with the same sad expression. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Dabao just ate a bite of octopus and he became like this!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the octopus that had been bitten not far from Dabao.

Su Qian happened to hear it as she approached. She looked at the octopus carefully and found that there was a circle of light blue circular patterns on its body.

Isn't this the blue-ringed octopus, a highly poisonous octopus?

She frowned slightly. How did they catch it? How come they weren't bitten by it?

Su Qian glanced at Dabao, shook his head, and said softly, "He ate a poisonous octopus. It's written in the book that this octopus is extremely poisonous. A bite from it will kill you instantly. The same is true if you eat it raw."

The implication is that Dabao cannot be saved!

"What? This octopus is poisonous?"

The Su clan members were shocked and startled, "Oh, I have to go see if I caught it just now!"

Afterwards, those people dispersed and went to check whether there were any poisonous substances in the things they picked up.

"Qian girl, is there really nothing you can do?"

The old patriarch knew that what Su Qian said must be true, but he was still unwilling to accept it, "Dabao is just a child. If you can save him, you must think of a way!"

Su Qian looked helplessly at Su Dabao, who looked deathly pale, and whispered, "This poison is so severe that even gods cannot save it."

Upon hearing this, Da Bao Niang Ang Tian let out a cry and instantly fainted.

Su Dabao in his arms rolled softly to the ground, without a sound.

Dabao's father reacted at this time and hurried to check on his son's condition, and then went to check on his wife's condition in a panic.

"Hey, Ah Quan, help Ah Tian take care of Da Bao's affairs!"

The old patriarch sighed deeply, gave his son an instruction, and then hobbled towards his stone house on crutches.

After walking two steps, the old patriarch turned back and reminded, "Ah Quan, tell everyone to be careful with what they eat and not eat carelessly. If you have never eaten it, it is best to ask Qian Yatou. She has read books and knows more than us."

"Okay, Dad!"

Su Youquan responded and called on other members of his Su clan to help with Dabao's funeral.

At this point, Su Qian glanced at Su Dabao lying on the ground, took Su Xi's hand and slowly walked towards their own stone house.

"Oh my god, Dabao is gone just like that! This is too much!"

Su Xi touched her chest, looking frightened, "Fortunately, Ah He and I thought the blue color of that thing was quite enticing, so we didn't try to catch it."

In fact, she and Su He also saw this kind of octopus near the reef just now. Now that she thinks about it, it really is a survivor.

"Let's go, let's go back and talk about it!"

After looking behind him again, Su Qian shook his head and pulled Su Xi forward.

Dabao just left, so it's really not appropriate for them to discuss this now.

Su Xi understood instantly, covered her mouth and turned back to look at Da Bao Niang who was still unconscious, then took the lead and pulled Su Qian away quickly.

When she returned to the door of their own stone house, Su Xi saw that her mother had already returned. "Mom, you're back?"

"Well, when Ah Qian said that Dabao was hopeless, I came back. I'm old now, and I can't stand seeing those things. You and Ah He should be careful when you go to the beach to pick up food in the future. If you don't understand, ask little Ah Qian more often."

The second aunt of the Su family had a solemn expression on her face. "We have gone through such hardships on the road to exile, but we didn't expect that at the end, a life would be lost."

Su Qian sighed lightly, "This deserted island is full of dangers. We should be more careful in the future!"

"Oh, Ah Qian, you mean, will this happen again in the future?"

The second aunt of the Su family was slightly surprised.

"It's not just the blue-ringed octopus. There are many other things in this sea that can hurt people, such as sea snakes, lion fish, Portuguese man-of-war, box jellyfish, and stone fish, all of which are poisonous."

Su Qian found a rock to sit on and said softly, "It's not just the sea. We live on this deserted island and will also experience various dangers. For example, when the weather gets hot, there will be mosquitoes and plague. We are short of medicine here."

Although she said that there was a shortage of medicines, she was not worried. After all, she had her own trading market where she could buy such commonly used medicines.

However, she was powerless to do anything about a poison as severe as the one that Dabao had just inflicted.

"And then there's the weather we have to deal with."

Su Qian paused and continued.

"Is it the weather? Is it going to rain?"

Su Xi on the side said casually, "We have a stone house now, so we don't have to worry, right?"

Su Qian shook his head gently. "It's not just rain, there are also typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes... We have to be mentally prepared for all of these."

"No way? Is it that dangerous?"

Su Xi was so frightened that her beautiful eyes widened, with a look of horror on her face.

"Ah Qian is right. We must be vigilant on this deserted island! We must ask more questions and observe more, and don't act rashly!"

The one who spoke was Su's second uncle. He led Su He out from behind the rock, holding a large iron pot of sea water in his hands. "Ah He and I went to fetch some water. Let's boil some water and take turns to wash up!"
