"Mother, did our family really live in such a big house before?"

Gu Haotian, who was only three years old, snuggled into his mother's arms and asked childishly.

Hearing Gu Haotian's childish voice mixed with a yearning tone, Elena sighed softly, did not answer Gu Haotian's question, and continued to look ahead in confusion.

Since Gu Haotian can remember, he and his mother have been living in this dilapidated thatched hut, living a poor life, if it weren't for the people in the village who didn't share some of the excess prey with Gu Haotian and his mother and son for the sake of Gu Haotian's mother and son, I'm afraid Gu Haotian and his mother and son would starve to death in this small mountain village.

The village where Gu Haotian lives is called Poor Water Village, located on the edge of the Tianfeng Continent, is a relatively remote place, not far from the west of the village is a large forest, the name is the Forest of Heavenly Evil, as for how big the Forest of Heavenly Evil is, there is no way to talk about this, because no one has crossed at all, although this Forest of Heavenly Evil is very large, but it is not as rich in demonic beasts as other forests, only some uncivilized beasts, so this place is not favored by adventurers, so their footprints have never been here.

Although these uncivilized beasts are not favored by adventurers, they have become an important food in Gu Haotian's village, because the environment of this village where Gu Haotian is located is relatively harsh, and food cannot be grown at all, and the people in the village go to the edge of the Heavenly Evil Forest to catch some low-level beasts to feed themselves. Over time, the people of the village became experienced hunters. Although it is not worth mentioning compared to some martial artists who cultivate physical skills and fighting qi, compared to ordinary people, they are much stronger.

"Xiaotian, come out and pull this buck in!"

Wade stood outside Gu Haotian's gate, opened his throat and shouted into the courtyard, Wade is the captain of the hunter team in the poor water village, and he is also the strongest man in the village, Gu Haotian once heard the people in the village say that Wade killed a white-spotted hunting tiger with his bare hands when he was eighteen years old. Although the White Spotted Hunting Tiger is not yet a Demonic Beast, compared to the first-level Demonic Beast, the strength is not much worse, and Wade's ability to kill the White-spotted Hunting Tiger shows that Wade already has the strength of a first-level warrior.

When he heard Wade's shout, Gu Haotian was staying in the yard to wash clothes, Elena's body slowly weakened when Gu Haotian was three years old, and since then Gu Haotian has slowly taken on the burden of this small family, and now almost all the housework in the family is handled by Gu Haotian, and when he is free, Gu Haotian has to go to the Heavenly Evil Forest to collect some herbs to treat Elena's weakening body.

After hearing Wade's shout, Gu Haotian hurriedly ran out of the yard, and after seeing the buck on Wade's shoulder, he said happily to Wade:

"Uncle Wade, why did you send such a big buck again, the day before yesterday hasn't finished eating it!"

After listening to Gu Haotian's words, Wade put his blood-stained palm on his clothes and wiped it, and then touched Gu Haotian's head, at this moment, Wade no longer has the strength of the captain of the hunter team, only kindness and gentleness.

"It doesn't matter, move this stag in first, I still have to go to the village chief's house, tomorrow morning I will lead the hunters in the village to hunt in the Heavenly Evil Forest and store food for the winter, it may take a few days to come back, when you don't come back, you and your mother will save some use!"

After finishing speaking, Wade put down the stag on his shoulder and handed it to Gu Haotian's hand, seeing Gu Haotian's slightly struggling appearance, Wade laughed, and said while laughing:

"Xiaotian is really amazing, at what age can he resist a stag, and he will definitely be a well-known man in a few days!"

As soon as Wade said this, Gu Haotian's face also showed a look of yearning, Gu Haotian has longed for the day when he can catch prey by himself like the hunters in the village to maintain his life and his mother's life, although Wade and the hunters in the village often help Gu Haotian's family, but Gu Haotian is still very eager to support himself one day.

After Wade left, Gu Haotian moved the stag into the house, carried the bamboo basket in the yard, and prepared to go to the Heavenly Evil Forest to collect some herbs, as early as a month ago, Gu Haotian learned from the village doctor that some herbs in the Heavenly Evil Forest can treat his mother's body, although it cannot have the effect of eradicating the roots, but it can play a role in resistance and cultivation. So Gu Haotian, who was only six years old, had to go to the Heavenly Evil Forest to collect herbs every day in addition to housework.

After saying hello to his mother, Gu Haotian put on his back and set off towards the Heavenly Evil Forest.

While greeting the people in the village, while walking towards the Heavenly Evil Forest, there was a discussion of the villagers in his ears, all of which were words praising Gu Haotian, but these Gu Haotian had heard a lot, in Gu Haotian's heart, although he was very bitter and tired now, but there was a belief that had always supported Gu Haotian, that is, he wanted to let his mother live a good life. It is precisely because of this belief that Gu Haotian, who is only six years old, bears the burden of the entire family.

In the outermost part of the Heavenly Evil Forest, there are only some small animals such as pheasants and rabbits, and only further inside will some wild wolves, mountain boars, cheetahs and other wild beasts appear, so it is still very safe for Gu Haotian to collect some herbs on the periphery. In order to help his mother collect herbs, Gu Haotian also learned some knowledge about the collection and identification of herbs from the village doctor, after searching for a long time, Gu Haotian found a few safflower plants, this kind of safflower grass can only be regarded as a relatively low-level herb, it can often be encountered in the periphery of the Heavenly Evil Forest, the effect is that it can invigorate the blood, after seeing these safflower plants, Gu Haotian took out the medicine hoe from the bamboo basket, carefully shoveled up these safflower plants, and put them into the bamboo basket behind him.

After collecting these safflower plants, Gu Haotian continued to look for other herbs, and after working for about half an hour, Gu Haotian collected half a bamboo basket of safflower plants, if it was in normal times, Gu Haotian should go back after collecting these safflower plants, but today Gu Haotian looked at the sky and felt that the time was still a little early, so he continued to walk towards the Heavenly Evil Forest. Now Gu Haotian didn't know that it was this rash advance that made his life change dramatically.
