Chapter 577: Chapter 3: Chi Yu Says This Is My Precious Darling

After finishing, he didn’t forget to praise Lin Xijiang’s cooking skills: "Of course, Brother Lin, your culinary skills are the best."

Lin Xijiang: "..."

Oh no.

It was fine when Lin Shi didn’t mention drinking the soup secretly.

Once he did, Lin Xijiang remembered that he also tasted the mushroom soup when it was almost ready.

It was really delicious.

Thinking back now, the pot was full of this kind of tall-stemmed mushrooms, mixed together, because this shape of mushroom is best for soup and can bring out the freshest taste of mushrooms.

Lin Xijiang held the white mushroom in one hand and touched his neck with the other.

Why didn’t I look carefully at that time?

The action of tearing the mushrooms was too fast; he didn’t notice at all...

Lin Shi asked, "What’s wrong, Brother Lin?"

Lin Xijiang glanced at Lin Shi: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body?"

"No, I’m perfectly fine." After saying this, Lin Shi jumped up and down a few times, "Look, I can walk and jump, nothing feels wrong."

Lin Xijiang’s expression gradually grew serious: "I just mentioned, this mushroom might be poisonous."

Just a second ago, Lin Shi was still jumping around to prove he wasn’t feeling uncomfortable, but upon hearing this sentence again, he finally absorbed it. He was stunned, staring at Lin Xijiang: "Did you say this earlier?"

Lin Xijiang hesitated, realizing he hadn’t explicitly said it was poisonous, only that it shouldn’t be eaten.

Lin Shi realized the seriousness of the issue.

He subconsciously copied Lin Xijiang’s action by touching his neck: "It shouldn’t be, right..."

His expression gradually showed fear: "I only took a sip of the soup, Brother Lin you..." Lin Shi scrutinized Lin Xijiang’s reaction and found he looked completely fine: "Did I really the only one who drank the mushroom soup?"

Lin Xijiang swallowed his saliva: "I drank some too. I don’t know about the others, but you drank some as well."

Lin Shi, always optimistic, quickly comforted himself: "I think we shouldn’t scare ourselves. It’s just a sip of soup, not that frightening."

Lin Xijiang felt Lin Shi made a valid point. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Let’s not scare ourselves for now.

So next, Lin Xijiang calmly took out his phone to check what species the mushroom was. Maybe it’s not poisonous, who knows, right?!

Soon, everyone knew about how Lin Xijiang and Lin Shi had drunk potentially poisonous mushroom soup.

As Lin Xijiang and Lin Shi nervously looked up what the white mushroom was, everyone came to comfort the two of them.

Sheng Yi said, "This mushroom looks clean and white; it shouldn’t be a problem."

Fu Yao echoed, "Don’t worry, it should be fine."

Sheng Yi approached to observe their complexion closely: "I heard mushroom poisoning happens quickly. Both of you look pretty rosy, so it’s probably not serious."

These words somewhat had a psychological effect.

Especially for Lin Shi.

Lin Xijiang remained relatively calm.

"Haven’t found it yet?" Sheng Yi asked.

Lin Xijiang shook his head: "There are too many types of white mushrooms."

"Then I’ll go find Sister Yao to take a look. She’s been here for many years and should be more familiar with mushroom types than we are." Sheng Yi said and left promptly.

Fu Yao nodded, agreeing with Sheng Yi’s idea of involving Sister Yao: "Indeed, we should get Sister Yao to see what kind of mushroom this really is."

The people on the production team were also alerted, and several agents came over.

Lin Shi had already thought it through; when Yao Tao arrived and saw the mushroom, she would tell them it was just a false alarm.

Scaring themselves.

It’s nothing.

Although Lin Xijiang didn’t have high hopes for a good outcome, he also thought it might not be that serious.

When Yao Tao arrived and saw the white mushroom in Lin Xijiang’s hand, she was startled and snatched it away: "It got a hat, wearing a skirt, and boots... Damn, isn’t this the Death Cap? Who picked this?"

Lin Xijiang: "..."

Lin Shi: "..."

Death Cap?

The name alone sounds ominous.

It’s just... oh no!

The situation is indeed serious.

There was no time for dinner; it wasn’t that there was no time, but they couldn’t eat.

The show crew rushed Lin Xijiang and Lin Shi to the town hospital for treatment. Since mushroom poisoning incidents occur each year, the town hospital has an established treatment method for such cases.

After some fuss, it turned out they were fine.

Luckily, they only drank the soup and didn’t eat the mushrooms.

Lin Xijiang’s situation was much better than Lin Shi’s; he was merely tasting for saltiness, and didn’t consume much soup.

Lin Shi, on the other hand, sneaked half a bowl, making his situation somewhat more serious...

The Death Cap is considered one of the deadlier types of poisonous mushrooms, also known as Amanita, primarily found in areas edging Sui City. Although Ancient Water Village is not its haven, it has quite a few.

They can’t be completely eradicated, and they grow back each spring, which has trapped many gluttons.

And the more poisonous they are, the whiter and cleaner they appear.

However, its toxicity is more frightening than those with vibrant colors.

Most crucially, the Death Cap has a fatality rate as high as ninety-five percent.

Which means, this time, they were truly fortunate.

During the ride to the hospital, Lin Xijiang felt drowsy, and Lin Shi was so scared that he fainted. After all the fuss, they were both extremely exhausted. Lin Xijiang intended to rest, but suddenly Lin Shi on the neighboring bed didn’t keep quiet after waking up.

"Whoa! There’s a rat!"

"Such a big rat!"

"Brother Lin, look, there’s a huge rat on my bed. It’s crawling into my blanket, crawling on me... Ow, Brother Lin, save me!!"

Watching Lin Shi on the adjacent bed flailing his arms and legs in panic.

Lin Xijiang sighed, holding his forehead: "..."
