Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 1 What a ridiculous world!
At the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, in a dilapidated adobe house.

"So, I have traveled through time?"

Gu Yuan, lying on the bed, shook his head and felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

My forehead is hot, my whole body is weak, my head is dizzy, and my stomach is extremely hungry!
There were several hideous wounds on his waist, abdomen, arms, shoulders and other parts of his body.

These wounds had teeth marks on them, and some were torn, obviously caused by the bite of some kind of animal. There was medicine powder sprinkled on them, and the edges had turned purple and black, and pus and blood were oozing from some places.

Gu Yuan knew very well that the reason he felt so weak and uncomfortable was because his wound was infected.

The wound was caused by a vicious dog bite.

A few days ago, Qian Yunjie, the young master of the Qian family, a wealthy family in the county, called his friends, rode horses and dogs, and brought guards to the countryside to hunt in the mountains.

At that time, Gu Yuan was working in the fields and was bitten by several hunting dogs as prey. He fainted from the pain.

Those people didn't care whether he lived or died, and rode their horses into the mountains.

It was his parents in this life who got the news and took turns carrying Gu Yuan back home and asked a doctor to treat him.

It was not until just now that Gu Yuan finally woke up and realized the mystery in the womb.

"Not only did he let the dog commit the crime, but he also ignored me afterwards and treated me like a pig or a dog. Damn Qian Yunjie, in this world, the lower class have no human rights!"

Recalling the scene of being torn apart by several hunting dogs three days ago, Gu Yuan felt the wounds on his body begin to ache again.

Especially when he thought about the young man in the lead, who was dressed in fancy clothes and carrying a longbow, sitting on his horse and looking down at him with a look of disgust, Gu Yuan felt even more annoyed.

But Gu Yuan didn't have time to think about it. He was hungry and his throat was very dry. He just wanted to drink some water to moisten his throat.

He struggled to get out of bed, but his legs went weak and he fell to the ground, grimacing and gasping for air.

"Oh, my son, you finally woke up!"

At this time, a skinny old woman pushed the door open and walked in, holding a pile of clothes.

Seeing Gu Yuan wake up, he was very surprised and happy, and hurriedly helped Gu Yuan up.

The old woman was wearing a coarse cloth skirt, her hair was gray, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked a little haggard and old.

It was Gu Yuan’s mother, Gu Wang.

Gu Yuan sat down on the edge of the bed and forced a smile: "Mom, I'm fine, just a little dry mouth."

"Okay, as long as my son is okay, it's okay!"

Gu Wangshi's eyes became increasingly red with excitement. After pouring the water, she hurried out of the house:
"You haven't eaten for a few days. Drink some water first. Mom will go cook for you soon."

Gu Yuan picked up the chipped porcelain bowl and took a sip.

The cool water moistened my dry throat, and my throat felt noticeably better.

Soon, the meal was ready.

A plate of dry salted radish and two bowls of porridge.

The dried radish was pickled in salt water without any oil or water, and the thin porridge was made from inferior rice. It tasted very bad and looked really shabby.

But Gu Yuan didn't show any disdain at all.

This is not his previous life where he had abundant material things.

In his previous life, as long as one had hands and feet and was willing to endure hardships, he would never go hungry.

But in this world, due to excessive taxes, corvee labor, natural disasters, man-made disasters, and low productivity, many people starved to death every year. Meat, eggs, milk, sugar, and even refined grains were only available to landlords.

Being able to have something to eat and not starve to death is already a great happiness in the eyes of mountain people who rely on the weather for their livelihood. How dare they complain about anything!
There were two bowls of rice porridge, one thick and one thin. The thick one was for Gu Yuan and the thin one was for Gu Wangshi.

Gu Yuan did not refuse. His father was old and could not bear the burden. As the only male in the family, he had just recovered from his injuries and the only way he could take on the burden of supporting the family was to recover as soon as possible.

"Mom, where's my dad? Where did he go?"

Gu Yuan was puzzled.

crunch--

Before Gu Wangshi could answer, the door was pushed open and an old man walked in.

The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, his thin clothes were stained with mud and water, and his face was a little pale.

"Ayuan is awake?!"

Gu Dashan was also very happy to see Gu Yuan.

After speaking a few words to Gu Yuan, he pulled out a patched small cloth bag from his bosom and handed it to Gu Wangshi: "Old woman, keep it. I helped someone dig a ditch today, and the owner was generous enough to give me two kilograms of brown rice."

As he was speaking, a late autumn breeze blew in from outside the door, and Father Gu shivered.

Looking at his father's lips that had turned purple from the cold, his messy white hair, and his hands that were shaking from exhaustion, Gu Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing, but his heart felt a little sour.

The family was not well-off to begin with, and this time, in order to hire a doctor for him, they probably had to spend all their savings, and there was probably not much food left for the winter.

How to get through this winter is still a problem.

The family sat down to eat. Although he was extremely hungry, Gu Yuan still managed to drink the porridge in small sips to avoid hurting his body.

During the conversation, they talked about the incident of Gu Yuan being bitten by a dog. When they learned that the housekeeper Wu from the Qian Mansion had come once, gave a symbolic penny of silver as compensation, and threatened Gu's father not to publicize the incident, Gu Yuan's face turned unhappy.

He almost killed him and pushed his family into a desperate situation, but the money he was given was so little that it wasn't even enough to pay for a doctor to treat his injuries. Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?

That would have been fine, but he actually threatened Gu's father not to spread the news, otherwise he would bear the consequences!

Whose logic is this?
Is there any royal law?
Are there any laws? !

"Baby."

Father Gu glanced at Gu Yuan with some worry, mumbling: "Dad knows you are wronged, but we are just peasants digging for food in the fields. We can't afford to offend these wealthy families in the county. Let's just forget about this matter."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yuan's face with worry.

We are just country folk with two acres of thin land. If we encounter a bad year, we might starve to death.

On the other hand, the Qian family was a wealthy family in the county, owning more than 3,000 acres of fertile land and doing business in medicinal materials. They had a large number of slaves and hundreds of clansmen, and they employed more than a dozen strong martial artists as guards, as well as several servants with their own abilities.

It is said that the best among them can even climb walls and tear tigers and leopards apart alive!
It can be said that the Qian family is the undisputed powerful and influential person in the county, a local tyrant!

The gap between the two sides is extremely large.

My son is too straightforward and stubborn. He is at the age where he does things without considering the consequences.

If you can't hold back your anger and retaliate, or even just show some intention, it may bring disaster to the whole family!

Gu's father thought Gu Yuan would be furious and retort, but Gu Yuan just nodded calmly: "Dad, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."

The old couple was stunned and looked at each other, seeming a little surprised.

However, he didn't know that the Gu Yuan in front of him was no longer the same Gu Yuan. His mental age was much more mature than the original Gu Yuan, so he would naturally not be impulsive.

The situation is better than people.

Gu Yuan knew very well that when facing a behemoth like the Qian Mansion and not having enough strength to resist, the correct way to deal with it was to swallow one's anger and compromise.

If you seek revenge out of sheer courage, you will not only lose your own life, but also bring trouble to your parents. That is not courage, that is stupidity!

Of course, you can lower your head, but you still have to remember this account!

"Fuck the world!"

Gu Yuan sighed lightly.

This is the sorrow of the lower class
The evildoers are free from punishment, but the victims have to compromise, live in fear, and worry about retaliation!

How ridiculous?!
After dinner, Gu Yuan went back to bed and lay down. During that time, his wound was pulled and he grimaced in pain.

After a while, the voices of my parents could be faintly heard from next door.

The old couple were discussing where to go to help with work and wash clothes in the next few days so as to save some food.

Gu Yuan was silent and began to think about what he should do next.

In this feudal society, winter is the "death season" for the poor.

Every winter, many people starve to death or freeze to death at home.

"It's late autumn now, and winter is approaching. We're almost out of food at home. So my first priority is food! Second is firewood for heating!"

Gu Yuan looked thoughtful: "As a mountain dweller, the only way to make money is hunting and chopping wood. Hunting requires tools, and chopping wood..."

Just as he was thinking, Gu Yuan seemed to realize something and suddenly turned his head to look at the door.

There was a gap under the shabby wooden door, and at this moment, a yellow-gray mouse stuck most of its body in.

After a moment, it sneaked in, raised its head and sniffed around.

As if smelling the scent of food, the mouse actually ran straight to the rice jar in the corner!

This mouse is slightly different from ordinary house mice. It is larger and more slender, its fur is slightly yellowish, and its eyes are full of spirit.

Gu Yuan could see that this was a unique mountain rat at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. It was an omnivorous animal that fed on plant roots, wild fruits, and grains. Sometimes it would also catch insects, small snakes, and toads to eat.

At this time of year, the crops in the fields have been harvested and sown, and there are fewer insects. This mountain rat is obviously here looking for food.

"If I remember correctly, this mountain rat is much cleaner than a house mouse, and it seems to taste very good and is very nutritious."

Recalling the delicious taste of the mountain rat, Gu Yuan instinctively secreted saliva in his mouth and couldn't help swallowing.

This body hasn't eaten meat in a long time.

When the mountain rat got into the rice jar, he quickly got up, grabbed his clothes, and tiptoed over barefoot.

The mountain rat in the rice jar seemed to have heard the noise and suddenly jumped out, but was covered by Gu Yuan's clothes who was prepared. It squeaked and began to struggle.

Gu Yuan grabbed the shoe next to him and was about to send it to see the Buddha, but at this moment, a line of small words appeared in front of him:
[You have caught a white mountain rat. Do you want to tame it?]
