LV, KI (15-30g)
When the captain of the wooden ship anchored his Yang in the calm seas near a pile of oyster shells he sprung a leak and was unable to restrain the leakage of fluids. He began shouting painful acidic curses at his parrot but as the ship went down however the captain began to feel remorse, so he softened his hardness towards the bird and even fed it some nodules of cracker-bread. Both the captain and his parrot survived by eating raw oysters which they would CRUSH and COOK FIRST.
Perhaps if the captain hadn't been a chronic drinker (cc: SP/ST deficient cold) he could have avoided the situation. While stranded on the island the captain found out that eating oysters is a good thing, but running into too many oyster shells can mean trouble (cc: overdose, especially of duan form, may cause indigestion and constipation).
