The basket that Lin Anshu brought was deep and large; it was woven by Lin's father himself in his spare time.
Although it has been used for two or three years, the quality is still very good.
Lin Anshu, who was squatting on the ground and moving around from time to time, dug for a long time before she could only dig up enough shepherd's purse to fill the bottom of a basket.
When she got up to move her legs again, she found that... her legs were numb.
Not only were her legs numb, but she also felt a sudden blackout in her vision.
Then, she stumbled, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground.
Oh dear, could it be that she's anemic?
"Are you... alright?"
Suddenly, a timid voice, tinged with concern, came from beside me.
Lin Anshu rubbed her temples and looked toward the source of the sound.
"You are...Xu Yi?"
"Yes, yes, I am Xu Yi." The boy standing not far away nodded frantically, a clear, slightly reserved smile in his eyes.
"Thank you for your concern earlier, I'm fine."
"I squatted for too long and stood up too suddenly, so my vision went black. But I'm much better now," Lin Anshu said softly.
Xu Yi is the child of Uncle Xu, who lives diagonally across from their house.
Including Uncle Xu's land, which is next to their land.
When Xu Yi was a child, he had a fever that was not treated in time, which caused the fever to spread to his brain and ultimately affected his intellectual development.
Despite being twelve or thirteen years old, he still has the mind of a four-year-old child.
Therefore, Lin Anshu treated him like a child.
"Yes, I'm glad you're alright."
"It's nothing," Lin Anshu said, then squatted down again to start digging for wild vegetables.
As for Xu Yi, he searched around for wildflowers in the field, picked them one by one, and gathered them together in his palm.
After a while, Xu Yi mustered up her courage and looked at Lin Anshu, asking, "Sister Anshu, do you know what kind of flowers I'm holding?"
Lin Anshu glanced at it.
Yes, those are the wildflowers that are commonly found in the fields.
But if you ask her what her name is?
I'm sorry, she genuinely doesn't know.
However, upon meeting the clear and expectant look in Xu Yi's eyes, Lin Anshu couldn't help but ask 888.
"System, what's the name of the flower he's holding?"
"The purple one is called Viola yedoensis. In the Compendium of Materia Medica, this plant is called 'Mibudai'. It is a dicotyledonous plant and a plant of the Fabaceae family."
"The medicine is called Viola yedoensis, which belongs to the category of heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs. It is often used to treat boils, carbuncles, mastitis, and intestinal abscesses."
"The small blue flower is called Veronica, an annual herb, 10-25cm tall. The stems are spreading and much-branched, covered with long soft hairs, and are slender."
It has a sweet and bland taste, and is cool in nature. It enters the liver and kidney meridians. It has the effects of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the waist, as well as detoxifying and reducing swelling.
"The yellow one is a dandelion, a perennial herb with leaves that are obovate-lanceolate, oblanceolate, or oblong-lanceolate. It is a common wild vegetable and traditional Chinese medicine..."
Lin Anshu carefully wrote down what the system said.
After the system finished speaking, she looked at the flowers in Xu Yi's hand and explained them to him one by one.
After she finished speaking, she saw Xu Yi blinking her bright eyes and looking at her with admiration.
"Sister Anshu, you're amazing!"
"Uh, so-so, third in the world." Lin Anshu chuckled awkwardly.
Perhaps it's because Lin Anshu speaks with patience and gentleness.
Gradually, Xu Yi started chatting with her quite naturally.
“Sister Anshu, are these wild vegetables you dug up? I saw my mother dig some up and took them home yesterday.”
"Yes, it's shepherd's purse."
"There are so many of these vegetables in the mountains."
"In the mountains? Yes, I can go to the mountains to dig!" Lin Anshu exclaimed as if waking from a dream.
There are some in the fields, but not many, and they're not evenly distributed; you have to search for them little by little.
"Is Sister Anshu going to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables?"
"Uh-huh."
"I...can I come with you? Don't worry, Yiyi is very well-behaved and definitely won't cause any trouble."
The fair-skinned boy made a sincere promise.
"What if your mother can't find you?" Lin Anshu didn't dare to agree casually.
"Then I'll go tell my mom first." After saying that, Xu Yi turned around and ran away.
"Xu Yi, the flowers you picked are quite pretty. Don't throw them away; you can give them to your mother," Lin Anshu said casually.
"Uh-huh."
Watching Xu Yi run away, Lin Anshu ignored him, picked up her small basket, and headed into the mountains.
And you know what? Compared to the fields, wildflowers and wild vegetables are everywhere in the mountains.
In addition to shepherd's purse, there are also purslane, iris, alfalfa, wild garlic, and so on.

While learning to identify wild vegetables using the system, Lin Anshu was also frantically harvesting them.
"Sister Anshu, I'm here!"
"Are you going to fill a basket with wild vegetables?" Xu Yi asked, panting as she ran over.
"Yes, that's right."
"Then I'll help you." Xu Yi grinned, showing off her bright white teeth, and then swung the shovel in her hand.
"Okay, thanks."
"You're welcome." Xu Yi shook her head, then followed Lin Anshu's example and began to dig for wild vegetables in a very professional manner.
And you know what? Although Xu Yi has a childlike nature, he is very efficient when it comes to work.
With his help, the amount of food in the basket increased rapidly at a visible rate.
"Xu Yi, what did you just say to your mother?"
“I gave all the flowers I had just picked to my mother and told her what those flowers were called.”
"Then I told her that I was going into the mountains to visit Sister Anshu."
