Zhang Qiushi seemed unable to understand human speech, continuing to talk about the funny things she and her cousin did together as children.
Seeing that Wang Wu was about to explode, he seemed to have misjudged him.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I really mistook you for someone else, but you really look so much like my cousin."
"I'm leaving now." With that, she stood up and ran away.
Wang Wu was left sitting there sulking, thinking, "Damn it, this woman ruined my good mood."
When Li Er returned from relieving himself, he washed his hands and felt refreshed.
"Brother Wang, why don't you go too? Why are you angry? Who offended you?"
He picked up the cup and gulped it down.
After drinking all the water, I felt like there was some sediment at the bottom of the glass.
"Ptooey, this water feels unclean. It's sticky. Ugh..."
After vomiting for a while, I looked into the cup, but it was already dark, and I couldn't see clearly what was inside.
They called over a waiter and brought them another cup of water.
Wang Wu also recounted how a mentally challenged man had just sat down and claimed kinship with him.
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a crazy woman."
You didn't see it; it was terrifying, with dark blue eyes, like a ghost described in supernatural tales.
After saying that, he was so startled that he shuddered.
Li Er was so frightened that he quickly grabbed a cup and took a big gulp of water to calm his nerves.
"Brother Wang, don't scare yourself. The sun hasn't set yet."
Besides, look around here, it's almost all men. They say ghosts are afraid of yang energy, and the yang energy here is so strong.
"Hey, Brother Wang, could it be that that lady has taken a fancy to you?"
He then gave a lewd laugh.
Wang Wu shuddered. "Brother Li, stop joking. She's scarier than a ghost."
Li Er laughed heartily and loudly called for the waiter to bring the dishes.
Normally, the two of them could sit here and eat until the Zhao family closed, but today they had only been eating for a little over half an hour when Li Er felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
He rushed to the outhouse. Luckily, Li Er wasn't fat, otherwise he would have been in a terrible daze before he even got there.
He had just come out of the outhouse, but after taking only a few steps, he turned back.
Wang Wu sat in his seat for a quarter of an hour but Li Er still hadn't returned. He also felt the urge to relieve himself, so he paid the bill and headed straight for the outhouse.
Upon arriving at the outhouse, they first relieved themselves and then began searching for Li Er.
Wang Wu was dumbfounded when he saw Li Er.
In just 15 minutes, how could a perfectly healthy person become so exhausted?
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Can you stand up? I'll take you to the clinic."
Wang Wu helped Li Er out of the outhouse, and Li Er started complaining of stomach pain again.
Wang Wu was really at his wit's end. If he forced Li Er to go to the pharmacy, Li Er would probably end up soiling himself.
After thinking for a moment, he gave the instructions.
"Brother Li, why don't you just stay here for now? I'll go to the pharmacy and find a doctor to examine you."
Dr. Gu of Baicaotang became the first person in history to treat patients in a latrine.
After taking Li Er's pulse, Doctor Gu had a rather complicated feeling.
"Did this person eat something wrong? Judging from the pulse, it seems like they ate something that causes diarrhea, such as croton seeds."
Wang Wu and Li Er both stated that they did not eat anything wrong.
The environment isn't right; you can't exactly discuss medical conditions in the outhouse.
Wang Wu helped Li Er wipe his bottom clean, pulled up his pants, and carried him to the old man's room where the latrine was guarded.
Doctor Gu quickly administered acupuncture to Li Er, and Li Er's diarrhea soon improved, at least allowing him to leave the outhouse for a quarter of an hour.
Doctor Gu quickly picked out some herbs from his medicine box, had Wang Wu use the old couple's kitchen to brew the medicine, and then fed it to Li Er.
An hour later, Li Er's diarrhea finally stopped.
"Doctor, you just said I ate something similar to croton, but the two of us only went to Zhao's Snack Shop for skewers today."
"Brother Wang has done nothing wrong, so why am I the one who is in this situation?" Li Er retorted.
"I don't know about that."
I can only make inferences based on your pulse and reaction. For example, you may have ingested something that didn't suit your constitution, which can lead to different reactions.
"How about I take this one's pulse as well?"
Doctor Gu was a serious person, so he reached out his hand to Wang Wu.
Wang Wu also expressed his incomprehension, since the two had been together all afternoon, so why was he perfectly fine while Brother Li was half-dead?
The pulse diagnosis showed that Wang Wu was indeed fine.
"That's strange. Why is it that when we two eat the same thing, I'm fine, but Brother Li is in trouble?"
Could it be that our food, Brother Li's food, was poisoned?
Wang Wu had a bold conjecture.
Doctor Gu also enjoys lively gatherings. Since the pharmacy was closed, he carried his medicine box and went to Zhao's Snack Shop.
When we arrived at Zhao's Snack Shop, everything on the table had been cleared away.
Call the waiter.
"Call your manager out here. My brother just ate your food..."
The diarrhea is severe; the doctor said it was caused by medication, so we need to get the shopkeeper out here to give an explanation.
Such a big matter was beyond the authority of the younger brother to make the decision, but he still kindly advised him.
"Gentlemen, please have a seat here. This shop has been open for quite some time now."
There has never been a case of a customer getting diarrhea after eating it, let alone someone poisoning someone.
I'll go and fetch our manager right away, and we'll investigate this customer's matter together."
When Huang arrived, she saw Li Er looking sickly, Wang Wu looking aggressive, and Doctor Gu looking gossipy.
After introducing herself, Ms. Huang sat down.
Wang Wugang was about to question Huang Shi when Huang Shi raised her hand to stop him.
"Sir, please don't be agitated. I was quite surprised by what happened to you, Mr. Li."
Let me put aside the fact that my family has had so many guests coming and going without any problems, but it just happened to Mr. Li.
Now that this has happened, we need to find out the cause.
After all, this concerns the reputation of our shop.
If it is indeed found that the cause is our Zhao's Snack Shop, then this old woman will naturally bear all of this customer's medical expenses.
I will never refuse.
Since Dr. Gu said it was due to taking laxatives or something similar, let's calmly investigate the cause.
After saying that, Huang called over the waiter who had been in charge of this table.
After clarifying the entire process of serving the food, I found out that the ingredients were the same for both of them, and the water was even poured from the same kettle.
After eliminating all the options, all that's left are the dining utensils.
"Shanwazi, go to the kitchen and see if the tableware that these two guests just removed from their table has been washed. If not, bring the tableware out."
"I'd like to trouble Dr. Gu to examine me later."
Shanwazi responded and quickly went to the kitchen.
Because the people who come to eat barbecue usually stay for one or two hours at a time, and only a few tables of customers have left.
Therefore, the dishes that were removed earlier have not been washed immediately by the kitchen staff.
Shanwazi truly lived up to his name; he was a simpleton. He called a brother, who carried the bowl of tableware to Huang's side.
