Chapter 312: Collective Sleep
In order to prevent the people behind from being unclear about the effect of the pills, Lin Chuyi stood directly on the platform, used his internal energy to start speaking, so that his voice could be clearly transmitted to the ears of each of them.
"This pill can strengthen your gastrointestinal function in the short term, preventing you from eating too much meat at once, causing gastrointestinal discomfort and unnecessary gastrointestinal problems. Once you have taken the pills, you can start eating. You can eat as much as you want today, and you can add more if it is not enough."
After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he jumped off the platform, sat down in the main seat, and directly pulled off the chicken leg of the roast chicken in front of him and started to chew it. Ping An was sitting next to Lin Chuyi. Seeing this, he slowly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bacon, and started to eat it.
Everyone looked at each other, a little hesitant, worried that the pill was not as simple as Lin Chuyi said, but they did not dare not to take it.
Especially Lu Fang and his group who were closest to Lin Chuyi and his group. They were sitting right under Lin Chuyi's nose. Lin Chuyi could tell at a glance whether they had eaten or not.
Taking into consideration Lin Chuyi's ability to "have eyes behind his back", Lu Fang swallowed the pill with all his heart. He waited for a few breaths with a serious expression, and when he found nothing abnormal about himself, he felt relieved and picked up the chopsticks on the table to eat.
Seeing Lu Fang like this, the people around him gritted their teeth and swallowed the pills. After making sure that he was fine, they started eating the plates closest to them. Their faces were covered in grease. They hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so they couldn't stop eating after this.
When the people behind saw this, some of them ate the pills obediently, but some just pretended to eat the pills and actually hid them inside their clothes.
Lin Chuyi was testing the waters. These little actions of theirs could not fool her at all. She just pretended to be unaware and continued to eat her food.
The pill was a low-end version of the Runmai Pill produced by the Space Pharmaceutical Factory. It only had the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach and enhancing absorption. She had taken their spleen and stomach tolerance into consideration and had kindly given them the pill. They insisted on thinking that she had ill intentions, and there was nothing she could do about it. They would later understand the benefits of it.
After the meal, most people felt no discomfort other than a bloated stomach. Only a few people started to have diarrhea right after the meal and had to go to the toilet several times. Without exception, these people did not take the pills given by Lin Chuyi.
Some of the other people sitting near these people also saw through their little tricks and knew the reason why they had diarrhea. They couldn't help but feel a little guilty about their previous suspicion that the female hero wanted to take the opportunity to drug them.
Lin Chuyi turned a blind eye to this and just told them to eat and then go to rest. They would have a tough battle to fight tomorrow when the soldiers arrived.
Everyone felt that what Lin Chuyi said made sense, but they didn't want to go back to the cramped environment they lived in before, nor did they want to live in the place where the bandits had lived, so they simply set up an open-air rest area on the other side of the square, and everyone stayed in the square to rest.
Although they said they were resting, they were actually not very sleepy. They gathered in groups of three or four and whispered something.
Some people would occasionally look at the group of bandits who were tied up tightly, with undisguised hostility in their eyes, while others fixed their gaze on a small building in the mountain village, with complicated and unreadable expressions.
About half an hour later, a man suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness. The people around him nervously rushed forward to check on him. They found that he was just asleep. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the same thing happened to other people around him.
The sleep factor seemed to be contagious. After one person suddenly fell asleep, many people fell down one after another.
Soon, everyone, whether they were walking or sitting and talking, lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The people who were originally in the rest area were fine. They just fell on the straw pile. At most, their positions were different from those previously assigned to them, and they did not suffer any substantial injuries.
But it was different for those who didn't take the pills. When they fainted, some of them were still squatting in the toilet, and some were walking out of the toilet holding their buttocks. This dizziness caused them to have a direct contact with the ground, and not only did they get hurt, but they also had a lot of abrasions on their bodies.
Even if they fainted, their gastrointestinal reactions did not stop, and you could hear them farting and their stomachs rumbling from time to time.
Lin Chuyi and Ping'an were both speechless when they saw this scene.
"Girl, when did you give them the medicine?" Ping An asked Lin Chuyi.
Lin Chuyi answered confidently, "Of course it's time to eat."
Ping An subconsciously thought that Lin Chuyi had put the drug in the pills. He raised his eyebrows, pointed at the people who fell near the toilet and asked curiously, "But didn't those people take the pills? Why did they fall down too?"
Lin Chuyi didn't keep Ping An in suspense and directly revealed the truth of the matter: "That's because I put drugs in the wine. The dishes tonight are either grilled or fried, and there is no soup. There is only wine on the table. When they choke on their food, isn't the only choice left for them to have is the wine in the jar?"
"I put a small amount of medicine in the wine, just to prolong the time for the effect of the medicine to take effect, so that they can finish their meal and then fall asleep. I have good intentions, but some people always like to be smart and make themselves look like this. I'm afraid they will be embarrassed tomorrow."
Lin Chuyi sighed, but Ping'an heard gloating in her tone and couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at those people.
Before he could retract his sympathetic gaze, he heard the new task assigned to him by Lin Chuyi.
"Well, there are still two people in the toilet. It's not convenient for me to go in. Please help drag them out, otherwise they will accidentally fall into the pit and drown. That would be a sin. After this is done, you can take the leader of Fufeng Village to find the governor of Mingzhou. I will stay here to wait for your good news. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."
After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the locked building, not giving Ping An a chance to speak.
Ping An's handsome face turned bitter in an instant. He regretted it! He should have thought of this matter when he saw those people fall down. If he had been smarter and took the leader of Fufeng Village away first, he might have been able to avoid this matter.
Now that the job has fallen on his shoulders, he has to do it even if he doesn't want to. Why is his life so miserable?
