General Yang's eyes suddenly widened, his expression became terrifying, and his voice rose several degrees, "You ate it!"
"No, it can't eat this!"
Soon, someone came over with a military doctor, "Who ate the inedible hard-shelled monster?"
Everyone in the yard looked at Chen Li. Seeing the misunderstanding she had caused, Chen Li felt a little embarrassed.
“I,” Chen Li pointed at herself and explained, “I ate, but it’s been a quarter of an hour. I don’t feel uncomfortable now, so don’t worry.”
The military doctor was a stubborn old man who refused to listen and insisted on coming up and taking Chen Li's wrist to take her pulse.
"I see you're in good health. Last time, I saw someone die not long after eating crab. Let this old man take your pulse."
Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Li reached out and tugged at Pei Yu's sleeve, "Ayu, I'm really fine, please explain to everyone."
Also, the seafood will get cold after a while and will not taste good.
Pei Yu held her hand in his backhand and said, "Since everything is fine, let the military doctor take your pulse and everyone can rest assured."
Okay.
"Ali!"
Another tall man came outside the yard, shouting Chen Li's name with some fear in his voice.
Chen Li: Very good, another one!
"Ali!"
Shen Jingyuan's tall body flexibly bypassed everyone and came to Shen Li, his face full of anxiety, "Ali, didn't I say you can't eat it? Why did you eat it?"
He circled around Shen Li, "This Divine Doctor Mo is not here either, what should I do?"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he turned around and looked at Chen Li steadily, "Ali, don't you have internal strength? Quickly force out the poison?"
Chen Li looked at her eldest brother who had said so many words in a row, and suddenly felt a little amused.
"Brother, I'm fine, calm down first."
If she didn't speak up, her brother would probably be so anxious that he would jump up and down.
"fine!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Shen Jingyuan's voice suddenly rose several degrees. He had seen many similar people's last moments of life on the battlefield, just like Ah Li. Thinking of this, tears welled up in his eyes.
Chen Li: ...
Pei Yu looked at Chen Li's depressed look, with a curl of his lips, and told her to eat anything she wanted. Is it okay now?
The military doctor took Cheng Chenli's pulse, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. "Strange, strange, this pulse is steady and strong, this girl is fine!"
Then he looked at everyone, "Did you see it wrongly? She hasn't had time to eat yet, right?"
General Yang pointed at the table over there and motioned the military doctor to look over there. Jun Yi fell silent after looking over. Not long after, a pair of eyes turned over and stared at Chen Li.
Chen Li: ...
He sighed deeply and explained again, "I'm really fine. I read in a miscellaneous book that this thing is called crab. It's cold in nature, edible, and non-toxic. It just conflicts with some things and can't be eaten together."
"How strange~"
Chen Li looked at the old military doctor and said, "Old man, think about it, did the person you saw before eat anything else before eating the crab?"
Hearing this, the old military doctor fell into deep thought. He would definitely not remember other things clearly, but although this incident happened more than 20 years ago, he still remembered it clearly.
"We grew up by the sea. We were poor back then. Lao Du died after eating crabs. Before eating crabs, he was so hungry that he ate a lot of persimmons."
Chen Li nodded. "That's right. Crabs and persimmons are both cold foods. Eating them can cause diarrhea and stomachaches, but this shouldn't be fatal. It's very likely that the Lao Du you mentioned is allergic to crabs."
The old military doctor opened his eyes wide, "Is that so?"
The others also discussed quietly, "So that's how it is. When I was a kid, I was so hungry that after eating persimmons, I roasted this thing over the fire and ate it. After eating it, my stomach hurt, but I didn't dare to say anything because I was afraid of being beaten by the adults at home."
"I've eaten it before, but my stomach doesn't hurt. It's just that I find it a little hard to swallow."
"Hmm, this thing is fishy and hard to swallow. It doesn't taste good at all."
Chen Li fell silent upon hearing this. Could it be that those who said it was unpalatable had swallowed the crabs together with the shells?
"General Yang, old military doctor, I'm fine. It's my fault that I made you make such a trip for me."
General Yang waved his hand and said, "I'm glad the county lady is alright. Your Highness, the county lady, the mutton soup over there is almost ready. Let's go over and eat together."
Pei Yu nodded, "Ali, let's go together?"
"Okay, but I have a few more dishes in there, bring them over."
After wasting such a while, the food was almost cold. It was a good opportunity to heat it up by the fire before continuing to eat.
"Do you want to take the crab you mentioned too?"
The others were walking in front, and when they heard this, they stopped and listened carefully.
"Well, you can eat crabs, but they are cold in nature, so women shouldn't eat too much. Also, you can only eat a little when you first eat them. You can continue eating only when you don't feel any discomfort."
In this era, there is no way to detect allergens, so we can only rely on this stupid method to identify them.
"Ayu, crab roe is delicious. Would you like to try it later?"
Pei Yu nodded and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Shen Jingyuan followed behind, and his pounding heart finally stabilized.
He was just too anxious. His little sister wouldn't do such a rash thing.
He picked up a plate of crabs. The originally black shells had now turned red, and it looked a little appetizing.
In fact, Chen Li had cooked crabs for them before, but he felt that the ones from the mountains were different from those from the sea, so he didn't remember it for a while.
He thought they were all crabs, and since he could eat the ones from the mountains, he could also eat the ones from the sea. Ali said that the delicious ones must be delicious, and he must try them later.
Here, there is a large dining hall with a wooden roof and huge tree stumps driven into the ground around it. It is usually where everyone eats.
Because the wind is strong at the seaside, we built such a place.
However, because it is so large, it needs to be repaired every year, otherwise it will all be blown down by the weather during a typhoon.
Chen Li originally wanted to wash her hands before leaving, but Pei Yu pulled her, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the crab roe off her hands.
Chen Li felt a little distressed as she watched him wipe off the crab roe bit by bit.
In fact, if they had arrived a step later, the crab roe in their hands might have been eaten by Chen Li.
"Ali, don't scare me like this next time."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't value my own life?"
"No, but I'm afraid of losing you."
