Chapter 826: Chapter 820: A False Alarm

He asked anxiously, "Uncle Gu, the crab looks quite plump, why throw it away?"

"That plump?" Gu Chaosheng’s face showed surprise.

Gu Youyou suddenly realized that they might not eat this kind of thing.

It was still remembered in some book that in ancient times, things like crabs and shrimps were not eaten by the common people, as they were considered lowly, and were instead given to prisoners.

Gu Youyou laughed, took a crab that he was about to throw away from his hand, and said, "Uncle Gu, you may not know, although these crabs may not look appetizing, they are actually very good for one’s health. As a doctor, I sometimes use them to treat illnesses. If you trust me, maybe you could keep them for our breakfast tomorrow morning?"

Gu Chaosheng looked at the crab in his hand with disgust and said, "This strange-looking thing can be hung on the door to ward off evil spirits and scare away ghosts when it’s dried, but eat it?"

Gu Youyou replied, "How will you know if you don’t try?"

She remembered that, at certain times, people used such things as charms to expel evil.

"Alright, then let’s leave some of the bigger crabs for Doctor Gu to eat."

They couldn’t accept it, and firmly refused to eat it.

Gu Youyou: "..." Alright, she’d eat them herself in the morning.

After collecting the nets, the large boat sailed on, heading straight for Fusang Island.

Some fishermen were sorting the fish they had caught on the ship when suddenly one of them yelled, drawing everyone’s attention.

His finger was bleeding, and Gu Youyou saw that a blue fish’s sharp mouth had pierced his finger, which soon started turning black.

She recognized the fish, the sharp part was poisonous.

Gu Youyou’s expression changed instantly, and she hurried to the fisherman’s side, saying, "This fish is poisonous; you need to squeeze the blood out of your finger."

Upon hearing this, people hurriedly killed the lively fish by slapping it dead with an object.

Gu Chaosheng asked Gu Youyou, "Doctor Gu, is Acheng alright?"

Acheng, who was terrified at the moment, had pale skin and his eyes were fixed on Gu Youyou, placing all his hopes on her.

Gu Youyou said, "Bring some water, and also, wake up that short doctor and tell her to bring some antidote."

"Okay, quickly!"

Soon, someone brought the prepared water on board, and Searcy was woken from her sleep.

"What’s happened?" she asked.

By then, Gu Youyou was repeatedly washing the fisherman named Acheng’s wound with the water, making everyone watch anxiously as the water was used up.

Gu Youyou said, "He’s been poisoned, and I’m cleaning his wound. You, bring some antidote for him to take."

Searcy took out several pills, gave them to Acheng, then pushed Gu Youyou aside, saying, "Water washing is too slow, let me do it."

With that, she bent down and started sucking the blood from Acheng’s finger.

She spat out the black blood mouthful by mouthful, which made Gu Youyou worry.

"Are you alright? This is poisonous."

Searcy replied, "This bit of poison is nothing compared to what my mother used to make me test."

Oh, dear.

"Then go on, keep sucking!"

The rescue was timely; Acheng only felt dizzy and vomited a bit but was fine after resting for a night.

It was just a false alarm.

Early in the morning, Gu Youyou cooked the crabs into a delicious meal.

As the fragrant scent filled the ship, Gu Chaosheng finally felt regret.

Could this thing really be edible, and even delicious?
