    A period novel set in the mountains and hunting era, leaning towards slice-of-life. The protagonist gradually earns money to support his family, with both career and hunting storylines running simultaneously. It's really good; feel free to criticize if you don't!

    Set in a rural Northeast China in the 1970s, this story features no rebirth, no systems, and no cheat codes. It doesn't rely on fantastical rebirth or underdog stories; it focuses on the raw, unadulterated realism of the mountains and forests. Chen Lei gathers his brothers, builds a team, with four loyal dogs leading the way and a rifle for protection. They emphasize teamwork and brotherhood, venturing into deep mountains, battling wild beasts, investigating old cases, and eliminating evil. Through sheer skill, they carve out a blood-soaked world in the snowy forests.
