The 1970S: The Whole Village Waits for Me to Starve, but I Become the Mountain King

Sold off to the Northeast by his own father and stepmother, Chen Xiangyang becomes the least welcome educated youth in Hongqigou. The villagers bet he won't last three days before crying and begging to go home. The other educated youths laugh that he's too weak to even catch a chicken and will starve to death in the snow before long. But Chen Xiangyang, armed with the [Bestiary of All Things], only smiles. On his first day, he brings back a plump rabbit, leaving everyone dumbfounded. In his first month, he hunts down a black bear, and the whole village gets to share the meat. By the end of his first year, he has founded a wild-goods processing plant and led Hongqigou to become the county's first ten-thousand-yuan village! His ginseng and deer antlers are reserved for special orders; his mountain delicacies and game are served at state banquets! Only when the people who once looked down on him are jostling to beg him for favors do they finally realize the truth. The young man everyone once expected to become a laughingstock has long since become the one and only king of these mountains and rivers!
