In the winter of 1982, the first snowfall in Xing'an Mountains.
Jiang Yan, a 62-year-old ranger, got drunk on a snowstorm night and cried bitterly. He was seriously injured while hunting when he was eighteen years old, and his family had a rift. Li Xiaolu, his childhood sweetheart, exchanged marriages to save his younger brother and died in childbirth. From then on, he played in the world, made money and ruined his family, and finally had only one life left to guard this mountain forest.
When he woke up, he returned to the snow forest in 1982.
There was a familiar scene in front of him: Li Nanhua, an eighteen-year-old boy, was staring nervously ahead. Thirty meters away, a half-sized wild boar was lowering its head and sniffing the footprints in the snow. In his previous life, it was this wild boar that made Li Nanhua disabled, forced Li Xiaolu to change marriages, and made him regret for the rest of his life.
This time, Jiang Yan will not let tragedy happen again.
A hunting knife, two hunting dogs, and forty-four years of hunting experience. He kills with one knife and changes everyone's fate.
From then on, Jiang Yan took Li Nanhua with him and traveled across the vast Xing'an Mountains. Hunting squirrels, roping rabbits, catching sables, hunting black bears, chasing sika deer, fighting wild boar herds... Each piece of skin was exchanged for banknotes, and each adventure came back with great rewards.
Some are jealous, some are scheming, and some are stumbling in secret. But Jiang Yan didn't care - he just wanted to protect the two families and the girl he missed in his previous life.
"Xiaolu, I will never let you suffer any more injustice in this life."
When Lu Dabiao was greedy for power and was picked on by a wild boar, when Zhang Laosi colluded with outsiders to find out the news, and when the people in the village watched the Jiang family's life become more and more prosperous, this reborn mountaineer was writing the legend of 1982 in his own way.
The snow is falling on Xing'an Mountains, and the shotgun is loaded. This mountain forest has been his hunting ground from now on.
