Seven years after an accident, the modern soul settled in Yong'an, Dajing. Shen Yan traveled through time and became a low-level hunter in a deep mountain village who made a living by hunting. The parents in the family are old and the younger sister is still young. The livelihood of the whole family of four is tied to the old wooden bow in his hand. He relied on the trapping techniques discovered by modern people and wandered through the deep and shallow mountains and forests. He originally wanted to guard a small adobe yard, rely on the products of the mountains and wild products to live a stable life, and protect his meager family property.
However, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were piled up year after year, corvee quotas were allocated layer by layer, and the evil gentry in the countryside colluded with local officials, all of which fell heavily on the poor and powerless mountain people below. Witnessing with his own eyes the neighbors' hunters selling their houses and living in caves with their families in order to collect taxes, all kinds of things in the world shattered Shen Yan's desire to stick to the mountains and wilderness. Even though his hunting skills are the best in the surrounding mountain villages, his ability to make a living cannot withstand the exploitation of the world at all levels.
In order to protect his family, Shen Yan put down the hunting bow that had been with him all year round and picked up the pen and ink that he had never touched before. He has long missed the golden stage of children's scientific examinations. Others ridiculed him for his wishful thinking, so he ignored the criticism of others and immersed himself in studying, starting from a boy in the countryside and trudging up the long road of imperial examinations step by step.
In the past, I drew my bow to capture the beasts in the mountains, but now I hold my pen and knock on the gate of the Golden Palace. A low-class hunter who came out of the loess mountains stepped into the court through the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination. With the perspective of having taken root at the bottom, he measured the sufferings of the people in the world and embarked on a career path of his own.
