Snowed In on the Mountain: I Trade with Animals for Meat at Every Meal

Jiang Yi was reborn in the 1980s.

From the start, an unprecedented blizzard sealed off the mountains and trapped the entire village.

The family was out of food. His wife, Su Qing, was so hungry she had grown gaunt, and his daughter was shivering from the cold.

The villagers waited in despair for death, but Jiang Yi's memories of his previous life told him the blizzard would last a full month!

At the point of despair, Jiang Yi discovered that he could understand the language of animals!

"Humans, stay back! There's a black bear over there!" said a frightened rabbit.

"At the foot of that old pine tree beneath the cliff, I've hidden hundreds of pounds of pine nuts!" said a chatty squirrel.

"Deep in the back mountains there's a wild ginseng plant I've been guarding for years!" said a haughty wolf king.

The whole snowbound mountain became Jiang Yi's very own treasure-hunting map!

While the villagers gnawed on bark and dug up roots beneath the snow, the smell of meat wafted from Jiang Yi's home.

Not only did he feed his wife and daughter pheasant stew with mushrooms, he also used the animals' tips to find precious medicinal herbs and furs.

By the time the snow melted and traders flooded into the village, Jiang Yi had already amassed an astonishing fortune.

He became the only link between the mountains and the outside world!
