Chapter 72 Don't Talk Nonsense If You Don't Understand
Ma Junjie and the others were dumbfounded.
Bai Xue shouted,
"Hey, Yang Wei, why did you pick those fruits if you didn't even know if they were edible?"
Yang Wei turned his head and glared angrily.
He cursed.
"Bai Xue, you fucking shut up about me!"
"I've lived here my whole life. I picked these things to eat when I was a kid. You country bumpkins, what do you know!"
As he spoke, Yang Wei picked the fruit with increasing enthusiasm and excitement, snapping away at the same time.
Finally, they simply broke off the branches and threw them all on the ground inside the pavilion.
"Bai Xue, get me a bag!" Yang Wei shouted.
Bai Xue exclaimed "Ah!" in disbelief.
Coming to his senses, he found a small plastic bag in the large bag of snacks and handed it to Yang Wei.
He said,
"Yang Wei, this fruit looks small, but it's bright red. Is it really edible?"
"Yang Wei, you'd better not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Wei's gaze shot over.
Bai Xue swallowed back what she was about to say.
Yang Wei scolded,
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
"This stuff is called wild goji berries. They're sweet and sour, very nutritious, and can even nourish the kidneys and enhance male virility..."
"You guys eat what you bought later, and I'll eat this. I'm going to pack the rest to take back to my parents!"
Ma Junjie found it strange when Yang Wei mentioned wild goji berries.
He took a few steps closer and picked up a few red berries from the ground.
Examine it carefully.
He rubbed it between his fingers, then held it under his nose and smelled it.
The answer was immediately clear.
He said,
"Yang Wei, this isn't some kind of wild goji berry. I advise you not to eat it."
"In our rural area, we call this thing 'dead man's flower.' Guess what? Animals don't eat it either, because it..."
Before he could finish speaking,
Yang Wei stood up abruptly, reached out, and slapped the fruit out of Ma Junjie's hand.
He said angrily,
"Damn it, what's it to you what I do!"
"I'd rather die from eating this fruit than have you to tell me what to do!"
"That son of a bitch, all he did was buy some snacks and then swagger around like that!"
"A complete country bumpkin, knows nothing, pfft, go to hell!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei and Bai Xue were afraid that the two of them would argue and suddenly start fighting.
He quickly rushed forward and stood between Ma Junjie and Yang Wei.
Li Xuemei also unconsciously grabbed Ma Junjie's hand.
She looked at him with concern.
To her surprise, she discovered that Ma Junjie wasn't angry.
Instead, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
He gently released Li Xuemei's hand.
Said,
"Xuemei, I'm fine, don't worry."
"I won't be angry. After all, someone shining a flashlight in the outhouse—it's suicidal, how can you stop them?"
Yang Wei was furious when he heard this.
He immediately pointed his finger at Ma Junjie.
He cursed.
"Damn it, if you say that again, I'll mess with you!"
"You think I'm asking for death? Fine, I'll eat it right now and see if I die!"
"If I don't die, I'll make you die!"
Bai Xue was a little worried and wanted to speak up to stop him.
"Yang Wei, no..."
But it was too late.
Yang Wei grabbed a handful of fruit and, just like eating goji berries at home, stuffed them directly into his mouth.
Yang Wei looked at Ma Junjie and laughed.
He chewed vigorously while laughing.
"Am I going to die?"
"You ignorant country bumpkin!"
finished,
He made two "mmm" sounds and swallowed hard.
Yang Wei choked, probably because he had too much food in his mouth and was talking.
With a "whoosh," he spat out the fruit from his mouth.
Bai Xue quickly went up to him and asked with concern.
"Yang Wei, are you alright?"
Yang Wei raised his head.
He spat a few times, then said,
"It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong with me!"
"But these fruits don't seem to be fully ripe yet; they're still a bit astringent. Let's leave them for now and eat them when we get up the mountain!"
Bai Xue stared worriedly at Yang Wei's mouth.
I always felt that his mouth looked a little off, I don't know if it was because he ate some fruit and it stained his lips, or for some other reason.
Ma Junjie watched Yang Wei like it was a show, secretly wanting to laugh.
He shook his head and said,
"Ugh, this is tough!"
Then he said to Li Xuemei,
"Xuemei, let's go up the mountain first!"
"If it gets late and someone has an accident, we're afraid we won't have a chance to climb the mountain anymore!"
After saying that, he walked to the table, packed up the snacks, and left.
Li Xuemei turned around and glanced at Bai Xue and the others.
Bai Xue waved to her.
"Go ahead, go ahead, you all go first!"
Bai Xue nodded, glanced at Yang Wei with concern a few more times, and then quickly turned and left.
After the two people left,
Bai Xue asked,
"Yang Wei, are you... are you really alright?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wei raised his hand, pretending to hit Bai Xue.
He cursed under his breath.
"Damn it, don't you still believe me?"
"Can't you see I'm alive and kicking? I'm not going to die!"
"Quick, get me some water to drink. For some reason, my mouth tastes bitter and feels a little numb!"
Bai Xue responded with an "Oh, oh," and then handed her bottled water to Yang Wei.
Yang Wei opened the cap, tilted his head back, and gulped down the entire bottle of water in one go.
After finishing his drink, he tossed the empty bottle to the ground with a "thud."
Said,
"Let's go, let's go up the mountain too!"
After saying that, Yang Wei walked forward on his own.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head, pointed to the ground, and said,
"Damn, I almost forgot about the good stuff!"
"Bai Xue, take that bag of wild goji berries for me. I want to eat some more when we get to the top of the mountain. It'll make you feel amazing tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xue noticed that Yang Wei seemed to be in pretty good spirits.
Relieved, he figured the wild fruit was probably fine.
Leaving aside whether it can tonify the kidneys and enhance male virility,
For now, as long as we don't eat dead people, it's fine.
So he replied aloud,
"Okay, you go first, I'll take it for you, and catch up right away!"
Yang Wei scoffed and laughed.
"Then hurry up, I can walk like the wind!"
On the other side, Ma Junjie and Li Xuemei walked ahead.
Li Xuemei couldn't help but ask Ma Junjie,
"Brother Jie, I'm curious, what exactly is that fruit?"
"Is it safe to eat people?"
Ma Junjie let out a cold laugh.
ask back,
"Xuemei, what do you think?"
"Do you believe Yang Wei, or do you believe me?"
"I...I..." Li Xuemei stammered, speechless.
"Hahaha!" Ma Junjie burst into laughter.
"Xuemei, I won't make things difficult for you anymore!"
"But if you trust me, I can tell you that I can guarantee that it's definitely not wild goji berries, but the fruit of Nandina domestica."
"Even animals in the wild won't eat this fruit. Do you know why?"
"Is it... not tasty?" Li Xuemei replied.
"Haha!" Ma Junjie laughed loudly, then shook his head and said seriously,
"No, the fruit of the Nandina domestica isn't bad, it's just... it's highly poisonous!"
"Ah?!" Li Xuemei trembled, too frightened to speak...
