Reborn in the 1960S: From the Start, One Rifle to Raise Eight Younger Siblings

【Making up for past regrets + period setting + hunting + farming + lots of siblings + supporting the family + no golden finger + 1960s + Changbai Mountain】 When Lin Xiangdong died, he was a lonely old man worth billions. His greatest regret in life was that during the famine of 1960, as the eldest child in the family, he hadn’t been able to protect his eight younger siblings. He had watched them starve to death, one by one!!! Die of illness!!! That guilt had eaten away at him his whole life!!! When he opened his eyes again, he was sixteen, and his youngest sister was burning with fever and barely clinging to life. The family had been out of food for three days! His eight younger siblings crowded around him, their eyes full of fear and hunger. “Big brother…” That single call made Lin Xiangdong’s eyes turn red! He touched his little sister’s burning forehead, then resolutely turned and picked up the old single-barrel hunting rifle his father had left in the corner. “Wait here. Your big brother will bring home some meat!” In this life, he wouldn’t let a single one of his siblings leave him again! Changbai Mountain was rich in resources, but full of danger. People said you could knock down roe deer with a stick and scoop fish from the streams, and that pheasants would fly straight into your cooking pot. Those things might sound like legends to other people, but to Lin Xiangdong, armed with the knowledge of a later generation, they were entirely possible. He knew how to make more effective traps, where to find precious medicinal herbs, and how to wrest food from the jaws of wild beasts. He dug up salamanders, raided beehives for honey, hunted deer and wild boar… with his own shoulders, Lin Xiangdong held up the sky for his eight younger siblings. While others chewed tree bark and ate clay, the smell of meat drifted from his family’s courtyard every day. He would not only keep his siblings fed and warm, but also send them to school…. (PS: A heads-up for readers: this is a slow-paced slice-of-life novel.)
