In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2025, deep in the forest area of Xing'an Mountains, Zhang Xiangkun, a lonely forest guard in his seventies, died drunk of regret. Throughout his life, he favored sons over daughters, treated his wife and daughter coldly in order to seek his son, and eventually betrayed and separated from his relatives. When he woke up from the dream, he was back in 1984. His wife had just given birth to their eighth daughter, and my mother and second brother were forcing him to adopt his nephew.
Facing his desperate wife and eight emaciated daughters, Zhang Xiangkun repented. Hunting ducks with a hatchet, hunting rats with a slingshot, and capturing deer with a trap... He relied on the hunting experience accumulated in his previous life to earn a living for his family from the mountains in this golden age when hunting was not prohibited.
He angrily denounces his eccentric parents, beats his vampire brother and sister-in-law, earns opportunities for his daughters to study, and gradually melts his wife's frozen heart. The slingshot, lasso, hatchet... Will eventually be replaced by the powerful water linking ball that shocks the mountains and forests. Wild boars, black bears, sables... Treasures and dangers coexist in the mountains.
This is the legend of a bastard man's atonement, the rise of an Orion in the Northeast, and the glorious life of a father who used hatchets and shotguns to carve out a glorious life for his eight daughters!
It's so beautifully written!
Good-looking, super good-looking.
