Chapter 1 Chapter 1

My head aches and feels heavy.

It's like stuffing a bunch of water-soaked cotton.

Gu Fengyan frowned when he heard someone talking next to him. He touched the head of the bed and wanted to ring the bell to call the butler to bring up headache medicine, and by the way, tell him to fire all these noisy servants!

But I didn't touch anything.

what happened?

He opened his eyes suddenly and saw only wooden beams full of signs of being eaten by termites.

At this moment, the old wooden door creaked.

Gu Fengyan quickly closed his eyes.

"Erdan, go and see if Yan Ge'er is still burning. Alas, it's been so many days, I don't know if he can survive..." An old man's sigh was heard along with the footsteps.

There was a thin layer of calluses on the slightly cool palm. He touched Gu Fengyan's forehead and tested the temperature. "Dad, the fever is gone. Doctor Liang's medicine is effective!"

The deep, pleasant voice did not match the child's excitement and rejoicing.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he's recovered, it's good that he's recovered. I think Yan Ge'er is also a lucky man... Erdan, you stay with him and feed him some water. The bowl on the table will be fine. I'll go see if the medicine is ready."

The old man seemed to have difficulty walking and went out with a cane.

Gu Fengyan's heart was beating like a pounding drum, and his breathing was tense - could it be that he had... traveled through time? !

He was eager to understand the situation, so he opened his eyes.

The face of a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, came into view. He was wearing a short coarse cloth shirt and his long hair was tied up casually... He had a very handsome face.

The walls were all made of mud, and apart from the rotten wooden bed under him, there was only a palm-sized table and a wooden cabinet in the room.

There was straw under the bed sheet...Gu Fengyan, who was used to sleeping on a silk duck down quilt, frowned and moved his legs.

The young man in front of him suddenly became timid, "You, you're awake, Dad asked me to give you some water... I didn't mean to come in."

His voice was like pressing a switch, and Gu Fengyan's mind was suddenly flooded with a large number of unfamiliar memories.

He almost jumped out of bed, but at times like this he had to stay calm.

"Yeah." He nodded coldly, "I'll do it myself, you go out."

Erdan looked at it and said nothing. He closed the bowl and walked out.

Gu Fengyan didn't care about the gap on the edge of the bowl and gulped down most of it before he calmed down completely.

He really traveled through time!

The old man was the original owner’s father-in-law, and the young man’s name was Huo Duan, and he was the original owner’s “man”, or husband.

There are three genders in this world: female, male, and boy. Boy is a male who can reproduce, has a beautiful appearance and a soft body.

It seemed as if God was playing a huge joke on him.

He, the man in charge of the Gu Group, woke up and found himself a bro... Not only did he have to give birth to a child for a man, but his family was also penniless and he had to worry about food and clothing!

The only thing to be thankful for was that Huo Duan was born mentally retarded and the original owner did not like him, so the two of them were not actually husband and wife.

Thinking of this, Gu Fengyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that things have come to this, he thought, he can only take one step at a time.

Carefully closing the bedroom door, Erdan left the living room and headed towards the kitchen following the sounds of cutting vegetables and Huo's father's cough.

"Dad, let me help you." He glanced at the white rice porridge in the pot, which was a little thicker than usual.

Father Huo poured the chopped wild peas and goose grass into the pot and said with a smile, "This porridge is for Brother Yan. You just had it this morning. Don't think of eating it."

It was already noon, and the father and son had had breakfast, which was just wheat porridge. The family was poor, and white rice porridge was a treasure for the patient to nourish his body.

Erdan sat down and added firewood.

Father Huo glanced at him and asked, "Did Brother Yan kick you out again?"

Erdan looked distressed.

"Yan'er has a miserable life! He was born into a wealthy family, but he could never provide for farmers like us who work hard on the land... Unexpectedly, a flood hit Linchuan County, and his entire family was wiped out. He fled to our village, and he was willing to stay only for food..."

Father Huo put down the wooden spoon and sighed, "He feels bitter inside, so his face doesn't look good..."

His expression became serious, "You are a man, it's okay to suffer a little injustice, but you must not get angry with Brother Yan! Remember?"

Having lived for most of his life, although Father Huo was illiterate, he understood as much as anyone else.

Huo Duan had this child when he was middle-aged. His mother died giving birth to him, and the child was born with some deficiencies. Although he looked good, he was born mentally retarded. In addition, his family was poor, so no boy or girl was willing to give him to her.

It is unfair for Yan'er to be with Huo Duan, but for this reason, we must take good care of him.

"Dad, I know. You've said it many times." Erdan listened to his father's chattering, agreed, and went back to teasing the ants with the stick.

Father Huo shook his head helplessly, took some salt from the salt shaker and stirred it into the pot, "Go call Yan Ge'er to eat, you support him, at least let him move around, it's uncomfortable for him to lie down all day."

Erdan clapped his hands, stood up, and happily left the kitchen... The expression on his face suddenly became cold and distant, making his coarse cloth clothes look more noble.

He said something that no one in this world could understand, "System, is there any cure for father Huo's illness?"

drop--

A cold mechanical voice came from my mind, "At the host's request, the scan results show that it can be treated, and the host can view the treatment prescription through the system."

There was no expression on Huo Duan's face, because even if he had a prescription, it would be useless.

He had no money to buy those herbs, and they might not be available in this place.

The system then threw a prescription over. He recognized some of the ingredients on it, but not others. But they all had one thing in common - they were expensive!

It’s so expensive!

Now even if he spends all his money, he can’t even hope to buy one tenth of it.

Huo Duan shut down the system in frustration.

If it was Mr. Huo, the former commercial emperor of Country Y, throwing 50,000 kilograms of silver into the sea, it would only make a noise, but things are different now. He is now the fool Erdan from Heqing Village, not the domineering CEO Huo Duan.

After being assassinated at his birthday dinner, Mr. Huo woke up in this world. There was an inexplicable system in his head that said he could have a chance to return to the modern world as long as he achieved "tremendous wealth" and "a happy life".

Huo Duan didn't believe it at first, until the medicine given to him by the system cured his original husband...

But when I looked at the house that was leaking air from all sides, I remembered the unspeakable smell of wild vegetable and wheat paste, and my father who depended on money to survive...

Oh, by the way, there is also the husband who secretly tortured the original owner and didn't even let her enter the bedroom.

It would be more realistic to just let him die, Huo Duan thought speechlessly.

It was the first time in Gu Fengyan’s life that he slept on a hard bed. He really couldn’t get used to it, so he pushed open the door in his slippers.

He happened to meet Huo Duan's eyes.

Both of them were stunned.

Huo Duan immediately switched from Mr. Huo to the idiot Erdan, and said in panic: "I, I didn't mean it. My father asked me to call you for dinner."

If a fool suddenly becomes smart, it is bound to cause criticism, so you must not let anyone notice the clues.

"I understand." Gu Fengyan maintained the original owner's usual cold attitude.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

Without Erdan's help, he reached the main hall. Father Huo came in with food and said with a loving smile, "We still have some rice at home. Let's use it to nourish your body first. Erdan will push two bags of wheat to the county to exchange for some more next time."

There were some green wild vegetables in the porridge, and the plate served contained some cold wild onions with a small amount of oil and a poached egg.

The original owner was the only one in the whole family who ate white rice. Erdan and Huo's father ate porridge made from ground wheat without removing the bran, and they could eat as much as they wanted to satisfy their hunger.

The eggs were laid by the old hen at home, and Father Huo was always reluctant to eat them.

These things were something he would never even look at before, but in this family they have become delicious delicacies.

Gu Fengyan couldn't help but ask, "Dad, have you eaten yet?"

Father Huo was stunned... Yan'er had never asked him about it before.

"I've eaten! I'm old now, no matter how good the food is, it's useless." Huo's father was happy from the bottom of his heart, and told Huo Duan, "When Yan'er has finished eating, remember to take the bowl... Today is a good day, don't run around, go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, and go to the river to catch some fish and shrimp to nourish Yan'er's body..."

Father Huo wanted the two to stay a little longer, so he went out to do some work.

Erdan liked the original owner very much. He used to come near the owner no matter what, but the original owner didn't like him. After a long time, he no longer dared to do so and just sat there quietly.

Gu Fengyan broke the silence, "I can't finish it, go get a bowl."

"Ah?" Huo Duan blinked.

Gu Fengyan said it again that although he was a little hungry, he couldn't finish so much and he wouldn't feel at ease eating it.

Huo Duan brought a bowl, and Gu Fengyan gave him most of the porridge and the poached egg. "Eat it. You still have to go up the mountain in the afternoon. You need to eat well to have strength."

The two of them ate in silence.

Huo Duan glanced at the original owner's two-faced husband from time to time...he always felt something was odd.

When Huo Duan went up the mountain in the afternoon, Gu Fengyan followed him.

Huo's father didn't want him to go at first, but Gu Fengyan insisted, and seeing that it was a cloudy day without the sun, he had no choice but to agree and asked Erdan to protect him.

The Huo family lived far from the village, separated by a small river. As the only family on this side, they had a few plots of dry land under the embankment. Before the spring planting, Huo's father asked his nephew to plow the land. The few acres by the river also belonged to the Huo family, but they didn't plant anything.

Huo Duan was carrying a rattan basket with a hoe in it.

The two of them walked along the stream. Mr. Huo didn't recognize any wild vegetables. He had never even stepped on mud in his life. But with the memory of the original owner, he touched a few clumps with ease, such as the tender water celery in front of him and the wild onions not far away.

Gu Fengyan followed behind him, being careful not to step into the water and keeping a watchful eye on everything around him.

He asked to go up the mountain with Huo Duan, firstly to study this place, and secondly to relax. From being a successful person who could call the wind and rain and had fine clothes and delicious food, he suddenly became a farmer's boy. One can imagine how depressed he felt.

"There are grass heads here." Gu Fengyan quickly found a bunch of familiar plants.

Huo Duan came over and said, "Father said that we can't pick anything we haven't seen before. There are many medicinal herbs in our village, and some of them are poisonous."

He didn't believe that a guy who had barely been out of the house could know any wild vegetables.

Gu Fengyan picked a handful of young shoots and said, "This is also called alfalfa. It has a high nutritional value. Some places grow it specifically to feed livestock... Don't you also use goose grass to feed chickens? Most people can eat what livestock can eat."

Before he traveled through time, his grandfather bought an entire mountain to grow flowers, vegetables and raise fish after he retired. Through learning from him, he also recognized most of the wild vegetables.

Huo Duan looked at Gu Fengyan.

"What, what happened?" Gu Fengyan's heart beat faster.

Could it be that he... discovered something? !
