In the winter of 1976, heavy snow sealed off the mountains.
In his previous life, Lu Ye was a quiet, taciturn meat hauler. A blizzard blocked the roads and left him stranded in town.
By the time he trudged back to the village on foot, his pregnant wife and three-year-old daughter had frozen and starved to death in their dilapidated hut.
The tragedy haunted him for the rest of his life. He later devoted himself to animals and became a renowned wildlife behaviorist at home and abroad.
When he opened his eyes again, Lu Ye had returned to the day before the tragedy.
The snow had already started falling, and the slaughterhouse manager was about to withhold his wages.
Without a word, Lu Ye snatched the pig offal that was rightfully his and raced back into the mountains that very night!
Living a second life, he was astonished to discover that he could understand every animal in the mountains!
"There's a nest of plump winter rabbits under the tree roots beneath the snow!" a passing squirrel grumbled.
Lu Ye followed its voice and came away with ten pounds of fresh meat from a single swing of his stick.
From the start, his ability to communicate with wild animals let Lu Ye move through the perilous snowy mountains as if they were level ground.
He won over a lone wolf king and made it his guard dog, then directed the monkeys all over the mountain to pick top-grade, century-old wild ginseng from the cliffs.
While the villagers were still chewing tree bark, Lu Ye already had savory pheasant soup and braised wild boar simmering in his iron pot!
The village bullies who once tormented him and his widowed mother come to steal their food? Lu Ye gives a cold laugh. The black bear and wild wolves behind him are already baring their fangs.
