Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 125 Bai Jin's Thoughts

The official walked hurriedly and turned back after a while, leading Shen Yu steadily into the government office.

Bai Jin was sitting in front of the desk, writing an important document with a brush in his hand.

Seeing Shen Yu coming, he just raised his hand slightly, and lightly tapped the seat next to him with his slender fingers, then continued to bury his head in the documents.

Shen Yu did not dare to slack off at all. He hurriedly bowed respectfully to Bai Jin, then carefully put down the bamboo basket on his back, and then slowly sat down on the chair, his posture still straight and his eyes not looking away.

Not long after, Bai Jin put down his brush and finished his business. He turned his gaze to Shen Yu and asked softly, "What did your village master tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu quickly stood up and replied respectfully again, "Sir, our young lady said that it has always been you who has been working tirelessly to manage the many matters related to growing high-yield crops, and she feels deeply guilty. Therefore, she sent me to bring you a lot of fruits, all carefully selected by her. Especially the thorny durian..."

As Shen Yu spoke, beads of sweat began to roll down his forehead, soaking his clothes. He wiped his sweat away, but his mind drifted back to the time the young lady had forced him to taste the durian, and his body trembled slightly. The smell of the durian was so strong and pungent that he ultimately refused to eat it. He couldn't understand why Lin and Miss Liu loved it so much.

Bai Jin's mind flashed with the image of Shen Li's playful, clever, and quirky appearance. The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, revealing a gentle smile. He then said, "Bring out this durian so we can try it!" Then, he turned his head to Li Tiezhu and instructed, "Li Tiezhu, go call the Yanyu brothers over so we can enjoy the fruit together."

Shen Yu stood quietly to one side, thinking to himself, "So the official who sent the money bag to my family was called Li Tiezhu."

Bai Jin walked slowly to the bamboo basket, gently put his hands in, took out the fruits one by one, and placed them all on the table.

His eyes slowly swept over each fruit, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.

He quickly determined that half of these fruits were ones he had never seen before. Such exotic fruits would be hard to find in this small county, not even in the bustling capital.

As a result, Bai Jin's doubts grew even stronger.

Shen Li is just an eight-year-old kid, but she can not only produce these magical fruits and cultivate high-yield crops, but also has the amazing rain-making talisman, and her speech and behavior are far beyond her age. Is it true, as the rumors say, that Shen Li has a divine master secretly helping her?

Bai Jin frowned slightly and fell into deep confusion.

He thought to himself: This girl always acts unexpectedly. The gift of fruit this time is probably not as simple as it seems. There must be some hidden meaning.

What is she planning in her clever and cunning little head? Is she using these unique fruits to convey some kind of message, or does she have other purposes? Everything is like a fog, making it difficult to understand.

Although Bai Jin was full of doubts about the deeper meanings behind Shen Li's actions, he also understood that these mysteries might be slowly solved through their future interactions and experiences.

At this moment, the most attractive thing in front of you is to be the first to taste what this durian that you have never seen before tastes like.

Bai Jin raised his head slightly, his eyes wandering over the pile of fruits of various shapes. Then, with a hint of doubt, he raised his hand and asked Shen Yu, "Among these fruits, which one is the durian?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu respectfully extended his finger, pointing to the large fruit covered in sharp thorns, and explained in detail, "Sir, this fruit is called durian. Its shell is extremely hard and can only be pried open with a sharp weapon like a dagger or hard iron. The light yellow flesh inside is what you eat."
