Reborn in 1977: Hunting Ginseng in the Mountains to Build a Fortune

[Ginseng Foraging] [Hunting] [No System] [Slow Burn] [No Cheap Drama] [Everyday Life in 1977]

In the winter of 1977, snow buried the peaks of the Greater Khingan Range. Li Jianjun was reborn, carrying a century's worth of regret. In his previous life, he was a coward who could only watch as his father and brother died beneath a wild boar's tusks, his little sister succumbed to cold and hunger, his sister-in-law, a sent-down youth, jumped into a river after enduring cruel rumors, and he himself grew old alone.

Given another chance at life, with his family's ruin and deaths only just behind him, he grips his axe and tears off his cowardly facade. He sets out to become the mountain keeper no one in the village dares to be, vowing to protect his little sister and his two sisters-in-law, both sent-down youths, and avenge his family's blood feud!

In the bone-chilling cold, he makes the most of his rebirth, wielding a two-stone bow and setting deadly traps as he roams the primeval forests. His ginseng hunts are always successful: with a red cord and a deer-bone pick, he fills his basket with clusters of six-leaf ginseng roots. He hunts wild boars and roe deer, selling his mountain wares for grain coupons and ration tickets. Starting out as a mountain keeper earning eight yuan a month, he builds his fortune from the bounty of the Greater Khingan Range.

One blast from his rifle will cleave the snowy veil. He will hunt his way through the entire Greater Khingan Range! A centenarian reborn with the memories of his previous life returns home and dares to venture into the forbidden zones of the Greater Khingan Range where no one else will go.

His rifle has yet to fire, his vengeance remains unfulfilled, and he still hasn't revealed all the cards hidden in his memories. His path to fighting his way through the Greater Khingan Range has only just begun!
