Chapter 1127: Six Years Later

Editor: Henyee Translations

The clouds cleared, leaving behind mist clinging to the mountains. In Liang City, the hills were rich with wild fungi, and from May to October, it was peak mushroom-picking season.

Gu Yang led Feng Jue and the others up the mountain to gather wild fungi, planning to make soup later.

“Yangyang, check out this mushroom! It’s huge and bright!” Shen Ran called out excitedly, holding up a red mushroom.

Gu Yang sighed, holding her forehead. “That’s a poisonous parasol mushroom. It’s toxic.”

Shen Ran’s smile vanished, and he quickly tossed the mushroom away like it had burned him.

...

The mushroom flew and hit Shen Qin on the head. Rubbing her head, she glared at Shen Ran. “Brother!”

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It was an accident!”

“Then why are you running?”

“Sis, put the hoe down first!”

Shen Qin chased Shen Ran all over the mountain, brandishing the small hoe she had been using to dig for mushrooms.

Gu Yang couldn’t help but laugh. “Most brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, but not all. There’s actually a type of red mushroom that looks like the poisonous parasol but isn’t toxic.”

She added, “The poisonous ones are only harmful if eaten, so everyone be careful. If you’re unsure, bring the mushrooms to me, and we’ll figure it out together.”

Just then, Shen Qin returned, breathless from chasing Shen Ran, but excited. “Yangyang, there’s a huge patch of mushrooms over here! Come and see!”

Gu Yang and the others followed her to find a large cluster of white mushrooms with brown stripes growing under the pine trees.

“This mushroom isn’t bright at all—it looks pretty tasty,” Shen Ran said, squatting down beside Gu Yang.

Gu Yang crouched down for a closer look. “This is a brown-scaled ring-handled mushroom.

It’s highly toxic and has a high mortality rate if eaten.”

Shen Ran immediately wished he could retreat at the speed of light.

“That dangerous?” Shen Qin asked, surprised.

Gu Yang nodded seriously. “Yes, it’s easy to mistake for an edible one. Everyone, be extra cautious from now on.”

After that, Shen Ran and Shen Qin were eager to have Gu Yang identify all sorts of wild fungi. Seeing Gu Yang’s attention drawn to them, Feng Jue, Gu Jin, Gu Ying, and Cao Cuo shifted their focus from picking mushrooms to joining in on the fun. They collected not only edible mushrooms but also strange and unusual ones for Gu Yang to examine.

As a result, the group gathered a large variety of wild fungi, learning about many different types along the way.

With their baskets full, they headed back down the mountain.

Gu Yang walked at the front, and when she glanced back, she noticed that all the young men and women following her had grown much taller than her. A sense of time passing hit her suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, six years had passed since she came to this world. The first batch of children from the orphanage were already in junior high school.

Gu Jin and Feng Jue were progressing rapidly in their studies. By the age of 13, they had already mastered the high school science curriculum.

Gu Yang felt confident they could easily pass the College Entrance Examination if they wanted to. However, neither of them seemed particularly interested in it and chose to stay by her side.

Gu Yang understood—they were attached to Cloud Rising Orphanage, and truthfully, so was she.

Not only were Gu Jin and Feng Jue brilliant in science, but they also had exceptional talent in computing. What started as Gu Yang casually teaching them turned into a self-driven journey. Over time, they even learned hacking skills.

They’d gone so far as to design small programs and make money from them.

However, Gu Yang repeatedly reminded them not to use their hacking abilities to harm the nation’s interests or make money through unethical means.
