Chapter 12 Weeds are also called medicinal materials
After what happened before, many people gave Shen Yuexi the impression that she was sensible.

"Shen Yuexi will definitely not agree to this drug dealer. She is in a hurry to send him home!"

"What's annoying is that this drug dealer actually calls these weeds, with ulterior motives!" The monk who spoke looked angry, not seeing the drug dealer's denigration of herbal medicines.

"He said this just to deceive Shen Yuexi. We all know the value of this herb."

Shen Yubai pursed her lips as the monks whispered in her ears.

He remembered that Shen Yuexi did not bring the herbs back at that time.

Thinking of Shen Yuexi's drooling salivation just for those two pastries, Shen Yubai couldn't help but wonder that she finally agreed to the drug dealer's request.

But even though Shen Yubai had such suspicions, he didn't have the position to question Shen Yuexi again.

Shen Yuexi's life was so hard, these two pastries might make her happy for a long, long time.

Even if Shen Yubai wanted to blame her, he didn't seem to have any position.

On the screen, Shen Yuexi raised her thin little face with a firm attitude and rejected the drug dealer without hesitation.

"I can't trade with you."

The drug dealer felt ashamed, "This is just a pile of weeds, but the pastries I gave you are not something you can buy just because you want to!"

Shen Yuexi tried her best to move her eyes away from the sweet smelling cakes, "These are not weeds. I need them to nurse my parents back to health."

After saying that, Shen Yuexi ran away holding the bamboo basket like a baby.

Seeing this, Shen Yubai was even more confused.

Since Shen Yuexi didn't exchange cakes with the drug seller, how could the herbs be lost?
Little Shen Yuexi left the drug dealer and walked along the mountain road toward home.

The mountain road was rugged and there were thick weeds on both sides of the road. Shen Yuexi's exposed hands and feet had many small scars cut by sharp blades.

At this moment, a slender snake suddenly sprang out from the dense grass. Shen Yuexi was caught off guard and was bitten hard on the foot.

The snake's venom was not very strong, but it had a paralyzing effect, and Shen Yuexi's body was already weak, so that bite still caused Shen Yuexi to temporarily lose the ability to move.

"What should we do now... The pharmacist told us that we should find these herbs as soon as possible and go back to recuperate our parents' bodies. It would be bad if we delay..."

Shen Yuexi was afraid that something would happen to her parents because of her delay, so she struggled to crawl all the way back.

In the field of vision, Shen Yuerong's figure suddenly appeared.

"Yue Rong..."

Shen Yuexi seemed to have seen the savior.

Shen Yuerong calmed down, saw Shen Yuexi lying in the grass clearly, opened her legs and ran over anxiously.

"Sister, it's not good, have you collected the herbal medicine? My parents' condition has suddenly worsened and they are in urgent need of medicinal materials. Wuwuwu..."

Shen Yuexi became even more anxious after hearing this, and regardless of the injury on her feet, she asked, "How is the situation now? Have you asked the pharmacist to come over and check on your parents?"

"After reading it, the pharmacist said that he must find the medicinal materials immediately. Sister, have you found it yet?"

Shen Yuerong's urgency didn't look like she was worried about her parents at all.

Shen Yuexi, who was full of anxiety and uneasiness, failed to notice and handed all the medicinal materials to Shen Yuerong and asked to take them back to the pharmacist: "You must give these herbs to the pharmacist and don't give them to your parents indiscriminately."

Shen Yuexi was worried that Shen Yuerong was young and so unfamiliar with pharmacology, which would have the opposite effect.

"I know, I know!"

Shen Yuerong took the medicinal materials and waved her hands impatiently, without the slightest intention of caring about Shen Yuexi.

Seeing Shen Yuerong's back disappearing in front of her, Shen Yuexi began to treat her bite carefully.The snake just now is indeed not very venomous, but it does not mean that it does not need to be treated at all.

……

"With all the good things Shen Yuerong has done in the past few times, I always feel that she won't do things according to Shen Yuexi's instructions this time."

"Indeed, and Shen Yuerong's expression just now was very strange. When he said that his father and mother were seriously ill, he didn't have any worry on his face."

These monks did not know that Shen Yuerong did not bring the medicinal materials back afterwards.

Shen Yubai knew it well, but at the same time, he had some suspicions in his heart...

The reason why they misunderstood that Shen Yuexi did not collect the medicine at that time was indeed because Shen Yuerong did not follow Shen Yuexi's instructions at all, but secretly took it for other things herself.

But Shen Yubai still felt that Shen Yuerong might have done something wrong just because she didn't think about it for a moment, and she actually had a good heart.

"Yes, that's right, it must be like this." Shen Yubai murmured to himself.

Lin Yang on the side didn't hear clearly and asked strangely: "Brother, what did you say?"

But Shen Yubai didn't speak again, but looked at the light screen with a hint of expectation.

Lin Yang vaguely guessed Shen Yubai's thoughts and shook his head helplessly.

Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Shen, why are you so hard on yourself?
in the light curtain.

Shen Yuerong trotted happily with a cute smile on her face, showing no signs of worry for her parents.

"What an idiot, I just believed it after just a few words!"

As Shen Yuerong spoke, she plucked the herbs in the bamboo basket, and then curled her lips, "Aren't they just some weeds? They all look the same..."

"However, these can be exchanged for delicious pastries, so if I pull out more, wouldn't I be able to exchange for more?"

When Shen Yuerong said this, she jumped up happily, plucked a lot more from the weeds nearby, and put them all into the bamboo basket.

This scene made many monks stare with disbelief on their faces.

"This Shen Yuerong doesn't even know the most basic herbs. They are obviously so different, but she confuses herbs with weeds and says they look the same! How ridiculous!"

"They are both children of the Shen family. Shen Yubai and Shen Yuexi are both proficient in pharmacology. Why is this Shen Yuerong such a loser?"

"You only know how to eat and drink all day long, and your mind is not on the right path. How can you not be a fool!"

Maybe they are gradually seeing Shen Yuerong's true face. At first, many monks were worried about Shen Yubai's face, and would lower their voices when talking about Shen Yuerong's bad qualities, but now they speak out.

Shen Yubai could not defend Shen Yuerong.

What happened next completely shattered Shen Yubai's illusions.

After Shen Yuerong picked some "herbal medicine", she happily carried a bamboo basket and found the drug dealer who had appeared in front of Shen Yuexi.

"I'll trade these with you for pastries!"

The drug dealer first dug a few times and saw a pile of weeds in the bamboo basket, thinking that Shen Yuerong was lying to him.

After the weeds on the surface were pushed aside to reveal the medicinal materials underneath, a smile appeared on the drug seller's face. He took out the cake and threw it into Shen Yuerong's hand, "Take it."

"Why is it only two pieces! I gave you so many herbs!"

Shen Yuerong complained dissatisfiedly.

The drug dealer laughed at her, "You call these weeds herbs? Stop joking!"
