Manbao was not in a hurry to tidy up. Instead, she took a knife and selected quite a bit of meat to inspect. She sniffed it but didn't dare to try it herself.
Bai Shan seemed to realize her thoughts and said softly, "I heard that when Shennong tasted herbs, he experienced not only stomach pains, but also chest pains, and all sorts of pains—his eyes even went blind once."
Manbao shivered but refused to believe it, "Which book says that? Why don't I know about it?"
Bai Shan calmly tidied up the mess she had made with the cactus, putting the still intact ones aside, and said, "I don't remember which book it was, but I think that eating things without knowing their toxicity should lead to poisoning, right? Didn't you say that once the body is damaged, even if healed, it won't be as good as before?"
Manbao didn't remember saying that, but it was indeed true, which made her even more reluctant to try.
The dug-out plant meat was set aside. She and Bai Shan went to tidy up the remnants.
