Beidahuang, 1958: Farming with a Silly Roe Deer

[Period Farming + Reclaiming the Great Northern Wilderness + Adorable Pet-Raising + Ensemble Cast and Nation-Building]

In the Great Northern Wilderness in 1958, the temperature was forty degrees below zero, snowstorms raged, and the rations were running out. In this frozen wasteland, there wasn't even a dugout to shelter in. How were the demobilized soldiers supposed to survive?

Jiang Dashan, who had spent his previous life struggling here before dying alone, was reborn as the squad leader of the Third Squad, Seventh Company of the Red Flag Regiment. Facing the extreme cold and the hard times ahead, he began preparing early, armed with sixty years' worth of survival knowledge from the future and an extraordinary affinity with animals.

From the start, he found a silly roe deer in a snowdrift. Others laughed at him for keeping a freeloader, but the deer led them to a winter hunting ground! He rounded up wild boars, tamed a pack of wolves, built heated walls, chopped holes in the ice to fish, and dug a hidden cellar...

While others struggled and froze on the edge of survival in the wilderness, the Seventh Company feasted on fish soup and roast meat, making the neighboring companies drool with envy.

When a food shortage crisis swept through the whole area, an inspection team stormed into the Seventh Company's quarters. Looking at the overflowing granary and chickens and ducks running everywhere, they were dumbfounded. “We sent you to reclaim the harshest land, and you turned it into a paradise?!”
