272 How Can This Be?
However, as soon as he got closer, he bent down and stared at a strawberry, as if he had been provoked. He even shouted, “Shen Qing, are you all mistaken? This isn’t a raspberry!”
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other again. Then, Xue Yan bit the bullet and squatted beside Shen Yuxuan. While watching the strawberry field with Shen Yuxuan, he slowly said, “Isn’t it? It was dug up and planted by my family in the wild, how can it not be a raspberry?”
Jiang Yue noticed that he was quite good at acting.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuxuan became anxious. “How can this be a raspberry? Look! Wait…” Shen Yuxuan quickly took out the herbal collection from the medicine box and found the page where the raspberries were. There was not only a text introduction but also a picture. It was a real raspberry.
“Look at this.” Shen Yuxuan pointed to the leaves in the book, “Although they look similar, they are different! The leaves of a raspberry should be rhombus-shaped and have a blunt tip. The one you dug up is obviously not like that, your leaves are oval!”
Jiang Yue was glad that the plant hadn’t bloomed yet. If it had, Shen Yuxuan would have been able to see the difference. This was because raspberries bloomed with yellow flowers, while strawberries bloomed with white and yellow pistils.
Xue Yan still pretended to be st*pid.
Shen Yuxuan was particularly persistent in this aspect. Seeing him like this, he became even more anxious. “I know I’m not wrong! Unless I don’t, I could be?! Didn’t you hear my father say that I can recognize each and every herb? I can even detect the slightest difference. This is really not a raspberry!”
“Then what is this?” Xue Yan suddenly asked.
“Huh?” Shen Yuxuan was stunned for a moment. “How would I know? It’s my first time seeing it too. Anyway, I’m sure it’s not a raspberry! This isn’t a raspberry, let me help you pull it out.” He said.
“Forget it,” Xue Yan stopped him. “We don’t know what else to plant since it’s already planted. Let it grow. Jiang Yue and I just wanted to plant some wild seeds that we don’t see often. We wanted to see if we could grow something. Didn’t you see just now that on the few acres of land that Jiang Yue and I are working on, other than watermelons, everything else is wild? You haven’t seen any of them before either.”
“That’s true,” Shen Yuxuan thought that it made sense, so he didn’t care.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other again and nodded.
Alright, it’s settled.
“I’ll have to trouble you not to tell my parents about this.” Xue Yan said. “They helped me dig this up and thought it was a raspberry. It’s better not to let them know so they won’t be worried too early.”
“Alright,” he said. Shen Yuxuan agreed without thinking.
After looking at the land, the three children walked around the mountain again before returning to the slope. They untied the cow rope so that the cow could walk around.
After putting the cow down, the three children led the cow back.
After the cow was tied back to the cow shed, Xue Yan took Jiang Yue and Shen Yuxuan home. However, they had only taken a few steps when they saw Dagui running out of the house in a particularly happy mood and stopping them.
“You must be Yuxuan!” Xue Dagui stared at Shen Yuxuan and chuckled. “I’m Xue Yan’s fourth uncle.”
“Hello, nice to meet you.” Shen Yuxuan was polite and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
“Very good.” Xue Dagui was even more salivating.
