Chapter 216: 【215】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 66 (Ninth Update)

Purple Star Grass?

Ah? It’s clearly a vegetable.

Alas, poor Ziyin, such a beautiful name, yet cursed, truly a disaster born of ignorance!

She just couldn’t understand, how could Ziyin be poisonous?

Who knows if the initial consumers of Ziyin had eaten something else before?

Ultimately poisoned to death, the blame had to fall on Ziyin, what did Ziyin ever do to deserve this!

As Xiao Yu angrily stared at the wooden bucket at his feet, a large group of villagers approached them.

Leading them was a short-statured old man with a robust physique.

Only upon getting closer did Xiao Yu see his sparse black hair thinly covering his head; although his facial features weren’t pleasing, his eyes sparkled with a sharpness that marked him as someone not to be trifled with.

This person must be the village chief of Huagang Village?

Seeing him approach, Xiao Yu quickly stood up straight and politely greeted him, "Xiao Yu greets the Village Chief."

The Village Chief, surnamed Zhang, seeing Xiao Yu so courteous, softened his gloomy expression slightly, but his furrowed brows remained tight.

"Is it Sister Yaya? They’ve told me about the situation earlier, and I think you shouldn’t bring these Purple Star Grass into the village, not even to your house, and moreover, you need to throw them far away, the farther the better. Believe us, we wouldn’t harm you; everyone is saying this for your own good."

Xiao Yu slowly lifted her head, her gaze lightly sweeping across the crowd packed three layers inside and three layers out, then she serenely nodded.

"I understand everyone’s concerns, but may I say a few words first?"

Village Chief Zhang wasn’t unreasonable. After all, Xiao Yu wasn’t from their village; he naturally gave her some face.

Xiao Yu gave him a grateful smile, then lifted her head, her gaze turning seriously towards the villagers of Huagang Village.

"The reason today’s situation blew up isn’t because I, Shen Xiaoyu, am ignorant, but because I want to tell everyone that this Ziyin is not a weed, but a vegetable, and consuming Ziyin is very beneficial for the body, not only that, Ziyin is also a kind of medicinal material."

Her words earthquaked through the calm, shocking everyone inside out.

Everyone looked at her with disbelief.

What? This is a vegetable? Beneficial to the body and even a medicinal good vegetable?

How unbelievable does that sound?

Can the words of a mere girl be trusted?

Thinking this, everyone started looking at each other, all skeptically shaking their heads.

Village Chief Zhang saw everyone’s expressions and chose not to say more, just watching Xiao Yu.

"Sister Yaya, why would you say such a thing?"

Xiao Yu boldly met the clearly incredulous looks of the crowd, neither servile nor overbearing.

"I don’t know when these rumors started, but what I want to say is, this truly isn’t a poisonous weed but an edible seaweed."

"You say this vegetable is poisonous, causing death upon consumption because it’s been too long, I can’t be sure what exactly caused the poisoning, but what I want to say is, it definitely wasn’t the seaweed."

"Although the blue-purple seaweed may contain slight toxins, those toxins are not lethal—it certainly must have been something else the consumer encountered or something else they ate."

"There are many types of seaweed, all rich in nutrients, softening and dispersing hardness, clearing heat, transforming phlegm, promoting urination; it also contains various vitamins and proteins, nutritious and beneficial to the human body. These can be found in various medical skills; they are not something I fabricated on my own."

"As for those accidents derived from seaweed, those are just accidents, and they have no connection with any misfortune of seaweed."
