Reborn in the 1980s: Living Off the Mountains

I'm having a question. Guns weren't strictly prohibited in the 1980s, right? Hunting rifles were still available for sale, not to mention air rifles, and there were even people manufacturing firearms! Why does the hunting rifle in this book seem like an arms deal? My family used to have a firearm, but it was confiscated by the government.

How to put it? It's not fictional terrain; it's basically based on my memories of my maternal grandmother's house. It was very poor and miserable. They couldn't farm. When land was distributed to individual households, only the mountains were allocated to each household. They had mountains and land, but they were still poor. There was nothing they could do.

This novel is frustrating. They know how to hunt, but they don't realize squirrel pelts are valuable. Squirrel pelts are worth a lot, so why bother hunting them? And the revenge plot is so drawn-out and indecisive. It's really annoying.

Does the protagonist have a cheat code? Without one, it's too tiring to read, because an ordinary person can easily encounter unexpected events. Living deep in the mountains is no joke; I've experienced it firsthand! It's exhausting.

In 1980, a hen sold for 15 yuan. Is the author serious? Even if the author wasn't born in that era, if you're writing about a period, you should at least do your research and check the prices back then before making things up!

Yeah, the protagonist gets tricked into working in a black mine for 10 years and then kicks the bucket. Reborn in 1981 I think I went back in 1991. After 10 years in the mine, I haven't gained any knowledge or broadened my horizons. What's the point of going back? Even if you escape the illegal mine 10 years later, then wander for 20 years before being reborn, it's still better than spending 10 years in the mine before being reborn.

I just want to know, was human trafficking not illegal in the 1980s? Was it a crime to traffic innocent people in ancient times?

Having read over 30 chapters, let me share my thoughts! I was born in 1981, and I've heard my grandparents and parents talk a lot about that era. Combined with my own experiences over the years, here are my reflections: First, the author failed to portray the ruthlessness of the mountain people of that era.

There's no farming or infrastructure development involved; it's all hunting, which is pretty boring.

Aside from the main character, it seems like there are no good people in this story.
