In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 304 Mass Poisoning! Goodbye Mi Yao

"You guys are really neglecting your health." Old Ji stood up, calmly turned on the light, and then, amidst the puzzled looks of the others, quickly put on his clothes, donned his cotton-padded coat and trousers in the blink of an eye, and was the first to rush out of the house.

"Holy crap! The captain's playing dirty tricks on us!"

Seeing this, the other brothers stopped trying to hide themselves. After all, the situation no longer allowed them to care about their pride. They got up, put on their clothes, and rushed out of the house.

"Old Zhao! Why are you running? You think you can outrun the brigade leader?" Taozi followed closely behind Old Zhao.

"It's better than waiting in line!" Old Zhao wasn't going to be swayed by Taozi's little tricks; he was determined to use toilet stall number two!
As Taozi stepped out the door, he saw Lao Zhao running towards the toilet. He gritted his teeth, turned around, opened the large iron gate of the yard, and quickly walked into the woods across the road.

The other brothers followed suit and rushed in with Brother Tao.

Amidst the crackling sounds, everyone realized that it wasn't that they were physically weak, but rather that they had eaten the wrong things!
"Damn it! Brother Taozi, are we going to get food poisoning?" Benjun asked, his hands resting on the cold, dry tree trunk, not far from Taozi.

"No way, we ate the same things we ate before and nothing happened. It's just that the weather is cold and everyone has diarrhea, that's not impossible." Taozi analyzed, "I'll ask the brigade leader to nail a layer of plastic film inside the windows, otherwise the soles of our feet will be too cold and we'll easily get stomach aches."

"Yes."

"Makes sense."

Even now, no one has realized the seriousness of the situation.

As soon as the first round ended and everyone lay down, someone's stomach started rumbling again, and then an uncontrollable urgency rushed straight to the top of their head.

The second round begins! This time, everyone suspects there's something wrong with the food!

"Damn it, we must have eaten something bad tonight. Could the meat have gone bad?" Ben Jun complained in anguish.

"Probably not, the meat is frozen perfectly fine in the metal box outside," Taozi retorted again.

"It should be green beans!" Old Zhao said from a short distance away, a pipe dangling from his mouth. Having learned from the previous experience, he knew he might have to come again tonight, so he stuffed his pipe full of tobacco beforehand.

"The brigade leader didn't cook the green beans properly! Ugh, this scoundrel is getting sloppy at everything he does." Ben Jun had been working with the brigade leader for several years and knew that the brigade leader was a bit careless. He couldn't help but silently mourn for himself for two and a half seconds.

"Bullshit! I did stir-fry the green beans, but the one watching the fire was that new guy, Old Sun, Sun Shunli. What does he have to do with me?" An untimely voice broke the silence of the grove.

Ben Jun: "Boss, shouldn't you be in the toilet in the yard?"

"Sigh, the straight-line distance to the toilet is no longer enough for me to run. The woods are closer to the entrance." Old Ji said with a hint of mockery and sneer. "Little Jun, there's a Volvo excavator that needs to replace the big pump tomorrow. You'd better get to work on it by yourself. No food until you finish."

"Boss, I was wrong." Ben Jun squatted in the woods, tears of remorse streaming down his face.

Meanwhile, Lao Duan is a waste recycling and transfer center.

Yu Dawei was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. In his sleep, he naturally tried to endure it.

But the discomfort grew stronger and stronger, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he put on his clothes in the dark, grabbed a few scrap newspapers, and walked towards the base of the wall outside the gate.

Duan Dahai's toilet was farther from the door of the house, taking two or three minutes to walk there. So when Yu Dawei got up at night to defecate, he usually went directly to the wall outside the door.

Yu Dawei was still wondering to himself, "I didn't eat much tonight, so why did I get an upset stomach?"

Or perhaps it was from drinking that sip of cold water at night.

"You're here too." In the pitch-black night, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side, startling Yu Dawei, who was deep in thought.

"Uh, Brother Duan? You have an upset stomach too?" Yu Dawei was surprised. He hadn't noticed that Brother Duan was no longer on the kang when he got up.

"Yeah, a little earlier than you." Duan Dahai sighed, sounding somewhat exhausted, "I've come two or three more times."

"What did I eat tonight that made me sick?" Yu Dawei pondered again. "I wonder if those two guys in the next room are alright."

"Boss, I'm here." Tang Chenwu's eager voice rang in Dawei's ears from the darkness not far away.

"Boss, I'm here too." Sun Shunli's voice drifted through the night from a distance.

Good heavens, two rooms, four people, all wiped out.

"Shunli, how long did you stew the green beans?" Yu Dawei thought back on the dishes for tonight. If there was anything that could cause poisoning, it could only be the green beans.

"Huh? I don't know!" Sun Shunli said innocently. "I only know that when I received Huo'er from the captain, it was about twenty minutes ago?" Upon hearing this guy's guilty answer, Yu Dawei knew the problem lay with the green beans.

However, this is not the time to blame anyone, since the incident has already happened. It's just that Brother Duan has been dragged into it and suffered along with him.

"Brother Duan, sorry about that, my men didn't cook properly." Yu Dawei smiled apologetically at the darkness, then changed the subject, "Hey, do you have any antidiarrheal medication?"

The drug, called "Xieliting," was advertised on television around 1999, at which time it became incredibly popular. However, the drug was already available on the market before the advertisement was filmed.

Besides Loperamide, there are other drugs that also have antidiarrheal effects, such as Norfloxacin and Imodium, but Imodium disappeared from the market for a long time afterward.

"No, I don't usually take medicine. I guess the pharmacies and the town clinic are all closed now." Duan Dahai fell into deep despair. Two or three trips had already left him exhausted, and he didn't know how many more he would have to go through.

From then on, he made sure to keep some commonly used medicines on hand no matter what.

Yu Dawei sighed helplessly, glancing at the darkness in the distance. He cursed Sun Shunli a thousand times in his heart: if you can't cook, then don't cook!

As a result, I guess those guys at Fanfan's repair shop are in the same miserable state now.

"Old Sun, listen to me, don't go back to Fanfan's Repair Shop so often, or you'll get beaten to death," Yu Dawei said to Sun Shunli in a nonchalant tone, braving the chilly night wind that chilled his backside.

"Hmm." Sun Shunli knew that he was mainly responsible for this, and he would probably get a lot of eye-rolls from his colleagues at the factory in the future.

Now that everyone knows who the "murderer" is, what can they do? They're all like clay bodhisattvas crossing a river, barely able to save themselves.

Fanfan Repair Shop doesn't keep any medicines on hand. Everyone there does manual labor, so they rarely get sick.

He could only silently endure until dawn. Exhausted, Yu Dawei drove to the town's health center to buy some antidiarrheal medicine.

Pulling open the heavy, red-lacquered, spring-loaded wooden door, Yu Dawei went straight to the medicine window, which was directly opposite the entrance. He bent down and shouted into the small window, "Give me four bottles of antidiarrheal medication and a few boxes of norfloxacin."

Norfloxacin is actually the same as norfloxacin, but people usually call it norfloxacin.

"How many boxes are you talking about?" Inside the small room, the girl frowned and looked up to confirm, but when they met eyes, they were both somewhat surprised.

"Sister Yao Yao?" Yu Dawei was standing outside the small window, while the other person was sitting inside the small house, so one was looking down and the other was looking up, and the other person looked rather strange to him.

Yu Dawei looked pale and his eyes were puffy, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well.

Mi Yao, on the other hand, looked exhausted, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Brother-in-law? Why did you buy so much antidiarrheal medicine?" Mi Yao was also completely surprised to run into an acquaintance so soon after returning to town, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't say anything yet, just give me two antidiarrheal pills, I'm about to lose control." Yu Dawei recognized the person and, disregarding everything else, reached his arm through the small window and bluntly asked for them.

"Alright then." Mi Yao stood up hesitantly, glanced out the window, and then secretly placed a bottle of antidiarrheal medication into Yu Dawei's hand.

"Hey, we're not thieves. I'll pay you in a bit." Yu Dawei quickly opened the bottle cap, poured out two tablets, and without asking for water, threw them directly into his mouth and swallowed them.

Mi Yao glanced at her boisterous brother-in-law, but couldn't help handing him her enamel water cup through the small window.

"Thank you." Yu Dawei was actually fine without water, but it would be better if there was some. He took two sips without any hesitation, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Yu Dawei bought a few boxes of commonly used medicines in addition to the antidiarrheal medicine, and only then did he have time to chat briefly with Mi Yao outside the health center.

"When did you get back?" Yu Dawei was actually a little embarrassed, not expecting to run into the other person when he was at his weakest.

Last night's exhilarating battle... well, never mind, I don't want to recall it.

Even a strong man as tall as eight feet couldn't withstand the rain and wind last night, let alone the remaining three little karami. The only one who could stand up to it was Old Sun himself.

“The day before yesterday.” Mi Yao was wearing a white lab coat and a white hat. Perhaps it was too windy outside and the hat was too big, because she covered the top of her head with her hand while answering Yu Dawei’s question.

Yu Dawei could see that her eyes were bloodshot, and her once pretty baby face now seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, filled with melancholy and sadness.

"I heard about your situation. That Sun Shunli came to me yesterday, insisting that I hire him as a laborer. Sigh, I was forced into this too." Yu Dawei thought of Sun Shunli, and then of how that kid had poisoned everyone yesterday, and his impression of him dropped even further.
