Changbai Mountain in winter is covered with snow, like a pure world of ice and snow.

The mountains here are stacked and endless, like a natural barrier, guarding the peace and harmony of this land.

In the vast forest and snowy plains of Changbai Mountain, a young man wearing a raccoon fur hat, a sheepskin coat, and cowhide boots, led two hunting dogs and walked with difficulty in the knee-deep snow.

This young man is the character that Li Xiuyuan traveled to this time, Zhao Mantun, Manchu, fifteen years old, and already 1.7 meters tall.

Zhao Mantun's family was an ordinary farmer's household at the foot of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. His father was attacked and killed by a wild beast in the mountains when he was ten years old.

He also has a mother and a six-year-old sister at home.

The reason why Zhao Mantun went into the mountains alone was that he wanted to hunt more prey and exchange it for some money for his sister's medical treatment.

Zhao Mantun's sister is Zhao Xiaoman, who is six years old this year. She is a patient with congenital heart disease. She has been in poor health since childhood, with delayed development and easy fatigue. If she exercises vigorously or gets emotionally excited, she will be out of breath and her face will turn purple. There were several times when she was almost unable to be rescued when she was a child.

Zhao Mantun's parents took their daughter to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that the disease needed to be treated in a large hospital in a big city, and might even require surgery to be cured.

The reason why Zhao's father was attacked by wild beasts was that he wanted to go into the mountains to hunt in order to earn some money for his daughter's medical treatment.

Later, Zhao Xiaoman grew up safely until she was six years old, but she fell ill again some time ago. The doctor said that she must have surgery immediately, otherwise her life would be in danger at any time.

Moreover, Zhao Xiaoman's illness requires surgery as early as possible.

Therefore, Zhao Mantun decided to go into the mountains. He wanted to hunt more prey, or even big prey. When he exchanged the money, he would take his sister to a big city for medical treatment.

Zhao Mantun took his family's two hunting dogs into the mountains. He also took the hunting rifle, machete, and dagger left by his father, as well as the ginseng picking tools left by his grandfather, and then went into the mountains.

Li Xiuyuan came through after Zhao Mantun entered the mountains. At that time, Zhao Mantun was already holding several pheasants and rabbits in his hands. Looking at the vast forest, Li Xiuyuan was very confused.

Then after receiving Zhao Mantun's memories, he knew why he came here.

Li Xiuyuan was unfamiliar with hunting, but he found several ways of hunting from Zhao Mantun's memory, such as hunting with guns, digging traps, setting snares, and hunting with hunting dogs.

Zhao Mantun's family has four hunting dogs, two of which are old. They were there when his father was alive. He kept them at home to protect his mother and sister, because in winter prey often came down the mountain to harass people, and his mother and sister were not safe at home.

Zhao Mantun led two young hunting dogs up the mountain. One of the two dogs was named Dahuang and the other was named Xiaohei. They were native dogs of Changbai Mountain and descendants of the Khan's dogs. They were also the breed used by the Manchu Khan Nurhaci when hunting.

The two hunting dogs have clear division of labor. Dahuang's task is to scout the enemy situation in the front, and Xiaohei's task is to protect Li Xiuyuan at all times behind him.

When they found prey, the two dogs pounced on it together, surrounded and bit the prey to death, and then gave it to Li Xiuyuan.

Then Li Xiuyuan took out a dagger, cut open the prey's belly, took out the internal organs, threw them to Dahuang and Xiaohei to eat, and then continued hunting.

This is the rule of hunters: it is better to let people starve than to let dogs starve.

A dog is half of a hunter's life. Without a dog, there is no life.

A man and two dogs were running in the snow, leaving deep footprints. Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan found wild boar footprints on the snow.

So he took two hunting dogs and followed the footprints. Not long after, Dahuang smelled the scent of wild boar. It jumped up excitedly and made noises from time to time.

Li Xiuyuan hurriedly took Xiao Hei and followed the clear wild boar footprints. He soon saw a large brown-black wild boar weighing about 500 kilograms. It was lowering its head and digging the snow on the ground with its mouth, trying to find food under the snow.

The wild boar was very alert. It arched its back a few times, then raised its head and looked around, revealing two sharp fangs on the side of its mouth.

It was the first time that Li Xiuyuan saw such a big wild boar, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously.

Suddenly, the wild boar stopped digging the ground and looked towards Li Xiuyuan.

The wild boar has a very sensitive sense of smell, and it smelled the scent of Li Xiuyuan and his group who were standing upwind.

When Li Xiuyuan saw the ferocious light flashing in its little eyes, he asked Dahuang and Xiaohei to hide and not move, while he slowly changed his position and approached the wild boar.

When he was about fifty steps away from the wild boar, Li Xiuyuan raised his shotgun and aimed it at the softer area under the pig's tail.

He aimed his mental power, pulled the trigger, and with a "bang" the bullet hit the gap next to the tail. The wild boar rolled over in pain and fell on the snow, blood flowing out of the gap.

Dahuang and Xiaohei quickly pounced on the wild boar and fought with the wild boar that was still alive.

Li Xiuyuan took the opportunity to get closer to the wild boar, loaded ammunition, and aimed at the gap behind the wild boar's butt again.

The two dogs were very smart and knew what their owner wanted to do. They ran in front of the wild boar to attract its attention. Li Xiuyuan had already loaded ammunition and fired another shot at the wild boar's butt.

This time the bullet shot into the wild boar's stomach through the gap, and blood immediately gushed out from the crack of its buttocks. However, the wild boar was very tenacious, and the more pain it felt, the crazier it became.

It wanted to take revenge on Li Xiuyuan, so it ran towards Li Xiuyuan with fierce eyes...

The two dogs hurried over to stop the wild boar from biting its owner. Their desperate efforts to intercept the wild boar angered the aggressive wild boar.

One of the two hunting dogs blocked the wild boar's way in front, and the other bit the wound on the wild boar's butt from behind. The wild boar's eyes suddenly turned red, and with a sprint, it was about to stick its fangs into the belly of Xiao Hei in front.

Li Xiuyuan was shocked and quickly shouted, "Xiao Hei, run!"
