Reborn in 1982: A Northeastern Mountain Hunter

[Period setting + rural Northeast China + mountain hunting + adventure + treasure hunting + folk legends] On the eve of the Little New Year in 1981, Lin Bei is reborn in Kaoshan Village. There are more mouse droppings than rice in the jar. His father is bedridden on the kang, his little sister huddles in the corner in a cotton coat two sizes too small, and his mother secretly wipes away tears by the stove. The matchmaker has just left: the other family thinks they are too poor and won't even meet to discuss a match. In his previous life, he was a lazy bachelor who spent his whole life as a loser. This time, he's going to give it everything he's got. The eight-hundred-li stretch of Changbai Mountain is blocked by wind and snow. So what? His grandfather's old bow, a hatchet at his waist, and Da Huang at his back: that's everything he owns. After one trip into the mountains, he comes back with four rabbits and two pheasants. On the way home, he also finds a woman nearly frozen to death in a snowdrift. The villagers gossip: “The Lin boy brought back trouble.” Lin Bei just smiles. No one knows that this winter is the beginning of his comeback. He hunts in the mountains and sells timber, digs up ginseng and trades mountain goods, taking on adventures and searching for treasure. Every day, a man and a dog can be seen chasing their prey through the snow. A wealthy customer from the south specifically asks for the innards of the old cat-monkey, a creature with a cat's head and a monkey's body that preys on children. An old doctor has searched in vain for the legendary deer embryo stone, said to calm the spirit and protect pregnancy. After wandering into a cave, Lin Bei discovers a mine from the War of Resistance and a map to century-old ginseng. What dangers and legends will Lin Bei encounter each time he heads into the mountains? Find out in the main story!
