Chapter 7 The First Child Prodigy

Gu Huaizhi's face was sickly pale, and his aura was extremely terrifying. He didn't look like an ordinary farmer's son at all. The noble aura emanating from his bones made him look like a child of a noble family carefully cultivated by a prestigious family.

He didn't look at Su Wan again, stood up smoothly, and went back to the house.

Su Wan looked at Gu Huaizhi's back. He was thin and slender, with a clear mind and beautiful bones, and his aura seemed to be sharp.

In her past and present lives, this man was the most outstanding she had ever seen.

His facial features were extremely elegant, and his eyebrows and eyes were flawless.

He deserved to be a beauty in the prosperous era.

She couldn't help but sigh. If she wasn't afraid of breaking her character, she would like to pick this thorny flower from the high mountain.

Su Wan looked around the Gu family. There were three terraced houses with earthen walls. There was only a square table and four benches in the main hall. There were two bamboo chairs and two low benches in the corner. There were a few baskets stacked together, and there was only a bamboo backpack and farm tools, and no other furniture.

Back to his own room, this is the best room in the Gu family. The window faces the sun. The narrow room is very clean and bright. There is a wooden bed and a wooden box under the window. There is no other furniture. It is very simple.

The ancestors of the Gu family were landlords in Xinghua Village. They were very rich until the generation of Gu Huaizhi's grandfather. Grandpa devoted himself to studying. Unfortunately, he lacked luck and talent in studying. He only passed the exam as a student. The family business was not well managed, and the family began to decline.

When the family business was passed on to Gu Huaizhi's father, it was completely in decline. He didn't even keep the old house and moved to these dilapidated houses.

Gu's father made a living by hunting, supporting his family, and supporting Gu Huaizhi's studies. He lived a comfortable life. When Gu Huaizhi was eleven years old, his father went hunting in the mountains and never came back. Gu's mother went up the mountain with Gu Huaizhi, pregnant, to look for him. They found a bloody piece of cloth and a shoe of Gu's father, and concluded that he was eaten by wild beasts, and there was no remains left.

Because the Gu family used to be landlords, they were always excluded by the villagers, especially Gu's mother who raised three children alone, and Gu Huaizhi was in poor health, and was bullied even more.

Gu's mother, who was capable and kind back then, was forced to become a wicked woman in the surrounding area.

"Cough... cough... cough..."

Gu Huaizhi's heart-wrenching cough was transmitted to Su Wan's ears through the wall.

Su Wan was a little bit appreciative of talent. Gu Huaizhi was a genius and brilliant.

At the age of ten, he passed the examination for a scholar and ranked first.

He was named the first child prodigy.

Unfortunately, Gu's father passed away. He had a serious illness for some reason. Since then, his health has been poor. When he participated in the provincial examination, the environment was too bad. He fell ill and fainted after only two days. Gu's mother was so scared that she would not allow him to take the imperial examination again.

The most urgent thing is to cure Gu Huaizhi and earn enough money.

Su Wan touched his chin, should he do his old job?

It was still early, and Su Wan carried a bamboo basket up the mountain.

Xinghua Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. The villagers dig for food in the fields, occasionally go up the mountain to collect wild delicacies or go down the river to fish, and exchange money to supplement their family income.

Su Wan often went up the mountain to collect herbs in her previous life, and had rich experience in the wild. She was surprised to find that there were many wild herbs in the mountains. She picked some of them and put them in a bamboo basket. She went back and took the opportunity to feel Gu Huaizhi's pulse, and then prepared medicine for him to eat.

There were a few Ganoderma lucidums picked from the dead tree. Su Wan squatted beside and counted them. There were actually eight or nine Ganoderma lucidums on this tree. The others were picked by others, leaving only the three in her hand. It was estimated that they did not grow before.

Su Wan happily put them into the bamboo basket.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. There was a patch of chicken mushrooms growing under the slope!

Delicious chicken mushrooms!!

Su Wan licked her lips, excitedly took down the bamboo basket, and picked all of them into the bamboo basket.

Her hand paused, Su Wan realized something was wrong, stared at the hand under the chicken mushrooms, and her heart began to beat.
