There's a saying: Do things that you won't regret.

All a person can do is remain steadfast in their choices, and who can guarantee whether they will regret them later?

Okay, thank you again for reading this far.

Thank you for the book on spring outings!

Chapter 536 Extra: Daqian

The vast world.

Fenglin Village.

The moon hung high in the branches, casting its bright light.

Old Han walked through the maple forest, carrying the medicinal herbs he had picked on his back, humming a folk song as he made his way home.

He was an old doctor in Fenglin Village, but his skills weren't that professional. He usually treated villagers' sprains and bruises, which was his limit.

For better doctors, you still have to go to the village clinic.

So when business is slow, Old Man Han will sell the medicinal herbs he collects from the mountains to professional doctors in exchange for spare change.

Old Han is an alcoholic. He spends all his money on alcohol whenever he has any. Over the years, he hasn't saved any money.

Traveling at night is the most dangerous thing.

However, some medicinal herbs only bloom at night and need to be harvested at specific times to be valuable.

In order to earn more money for drinks, Old Han was willing to risk his life and do this dangerous job.

However, on this seemingly ordinary night, Old Man Han suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying coming from the woods.

The voice was loud and clear, with a touch of childlike innocence and clarity.

Old Han's heart skipped a beat.

Could this be a monster from the mountains that uses its crying to lure people in?

With this in mind, Old Han quickened his pace.

However, after walking a short distance, Old Han suddenly rushed back.

"Damn it, mind your own business!"

Old Han cursed himself.

What if it really is a child?

Old Han carefully made his way in the direction of the crying.

He's a regular in this area and has never encountered anything like this before.

As Old Han approached, he looked through the thicket into the forest ahead.

There, on the ground, lay a completely naked baby!

"My God?!"

Old Han quickly stepped forward and picked up the baby.

Who could be so heartless!

They actually abandoned the baby in the wild without even giving him clothes to wear. Aren't they afraid of him freezing to death?

But then I thought, since I've already abandoned them in the maple forest, who cares if they freeze to death? They'll probably just be snatched away by wild animals that come running at the sound of their voices.

Old Han stared at the baby and noticed nine colorful lines around the baby's navel, like a vortex guarding the belly.

The baby was clutching a green jade pendant in its tiny hand!

"Wow! This is good stuff!"

Old Han grabbed the jade pendant and thought to himself, "I'm rich now!"

However, the baby suddenly stopped crying the moment the jade pendant was snatched away.

Old Han looked at the baby strangely, only to see that the baby was pale, breathing rapidly, and looked very painful.

"this......"

Old Han quickly stuffed the green jade pendant back into the baby's hand.

Soon, the baby's complexion regained its rosy hue, and the crying resumed.

"This is unbelievable..."

Old Han was completely baffled, but he didn't dare to think too much about it at the moment. He looked left and right and, seeing that he hadn't forgotten anything, he took the baby back to the village.

The next morning.

Nearby residents, seeing Old Man Han holding a baby, began to tease him.

"Hey, Lao Han, where did you get this kid from?!"

"You look so fair-skinned, you weren't kidnapped from somewhere, were you?"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Old Han waved his hand.

"I found it in the maple forest yesterday. I don't know which heartless parents would abandon a child in the woods. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"So you picked it up for him?"

The villagers gathered around curiously.

"What can we do if we don't pick him up? With his small frame, he'd definitely be gone if he stayed in the maple forest for one night!"

Old Han's voice was tinged with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, you old drunkard, you're actually quite kind-hearted."

"But you've spent all your money on alcohol these past few years, how could you possibly have enough to raise a child?"

someone asked.

Old Han fell silent after being asked that question.

He hasn't thought that far ahead yet.

But he didn't have much money in his pocket, raising a child... something he had never thought about before.

Old Han has been single for decades, without even a wife, let alone raising children.

“I think this child is handsome. Go to the village in front and ask if anyone wants him. There are many rich people there, and someone will definitely be willing to raise him.”

Upon hearing this, Old Han's eyes widened immediately.

"I'm going to raise him myself! I picked him up! Nobody can take him away!"

The neighbors all shook their heads.

Based on their understanding of Old Han, raising a child? That old drunkard would never raise a child. What if he runs out of money for alcohol one day and sells the kid?

It's a pity for this child. He's so fair-skinned, yet he was abandoned in the wild. Luckily, he was rescued by Old Man Han.

But life thereafter was visibly impoverished.

However, what no one expected was...

From that day on, Old Han changed his usual idle habits and began to study medicine.

They also go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs more often than usual.

Of the money saved, some was naturally used for alcohol, but most of it was spent on the baby.

And so, ten years passed.

The baby grew up and became a handsome and adorable boy.

"Feng'er!"

Old Han carried a basket of medicinal herbs into his house and called out to the inside.

Han Feng immediately jogged out.

"Grandpa, you're back."

Ten years have passed, and the once hunched-over old man is now even more stooped.

He looked at Han Feng with a kind expression and nodded.

Han Feng took the medicine basket, and the grandfather and grandson put the heavy basket down together and began to sort the medicinal herbs.

Old Han was too old, so he adopted Han Feng as his grandson, which didn't seem strange to outsiders.

Han Feng was the one who gave her the name, because he met her in the maple forest, and that's why he named her "Feng".

As for the surname, it will naturally follow his!

In this way, the Han family can be considered to have an heir!

The old drunkard, who had been single his whole life, never expected that he would end up having such a good child to carry on the family line.

Everyone in the village was extremely envious.

Although Old Han's body was becoming more and more hunched, as long as Han Feng was there, he became more and more confident in front of everyone!

He has someone to take care of him now; he's not all alone!

"Feng'er, you're ten years old this year. Remember to attend the village's spirit-awakening ceremony!"

Han Feng nodded.

"Grandpa, I remember."

"Ah."

Old Han smiled and nodded.

Han Feng has never caused any trouble since he was a child.

Spirit-awakening ceremony.

It is a widespread tradition in the world.

Through spiritual awakening, children can awaken their first perception of spiritual power.

A child with exceptional talent who can sense spiritual power on the very first day is truly blessed by heaven!

Their future achievements will definitely not be limited to a small Fenglin Village.

Leaving these mountains and heading to bustling towns will no longer be a distant dream for them!

If you can't sense spiritual power on the first day, then as long as you can sense it within five days, you'll be in the second tier.

These people may become the main force in the village in the future, going into the mountains and forests to hunt wild beasts, or even monsters!

Those who are selected within five days to half a month will be the last group of talented individuals.

If one cannot sense any spiritual energy within half a month, then one is a person abandoned by heaven and has no hope of cultivating the Dao.

Throughout Maple Forest Village, there are quite a few people who have been abandoned by heaven.

Talented people are ultimately only a minority.

Chapter 537 Extra Chapter: Awakening

Fenglin Village, Qian Village.

The distance between here and Houcun is not particularly far, but the surrounding buildings are several levels better than those in Houcun.

This is the residence of the village's wealthy, and the surrounding area is filled with people who rank highly in various industries within the village.

The best medical clinics, the best martial arts schools, and the best restaurants are all located here.

Han Feng, carrying a medicine basket, went with Old Man Han to the clinic in the next village to sell medicinal herbs.

The clinic's staff led the two to the clinic's backyard.

"Dr. Qian is still seeing patients. Please wait a moment."
