Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

The snow came a few days late, and Jiang Sen had no idea what would happen next.

He simply followed his own ideas, chopping more firewood and gathering more wild vegetables and mushrooms.

No one needs to go to work; everyone will just go out and find something to eat nearby.

After the snow lessened a bit the next day, Sui Zhongliang left with his gun.

Standing at the door, Da Liu called out to everyone, "Everyone, no work today! Come with me to find wild vegetables and mushrooms!"

The other educated youth all knew that this was how they prepared for winter whenever it came early.

Jiang Sen put on his military overcoat, cotton hat, and gloves. It had to be said, the new ones were warm and even smelled of fabric.

He went ahead, slung a basket over his shoulder, grabbed an axe and tucked it into his waistband, and also took a shovel.

An axe is used for self-defense. At this time, wild animals that come out to hunt for food don't care if there are people around. As long as they can eat, people are not safe either.

The shovel is used to clear away the snow when digging for wild vegetables. Otherwise, if you try to dig through the snow with your hands, you won't get many vegetables before your hands freeze and you'll be too slow.

Seeing that Jiang Sen was ready, Da Liu and the others also picked up their own tools, each carrying a basket, and walked along the path into the woods.

The snow is still falling, but much less, and most importantly, the wind has stopped, which makes it a little more comfortable.

Wang Haiyang and Liu Hongzhi followed suit, carrying baskets on their backs and shovels in their hands, walking slowly along with the group.

The mountains were covered in snow, offering no romance, only making it difficult to move forward, with each step sinking to knee-deep.

No one spoke, only puffs of white mist bloomed and the sound of footsteps creaking.

Jiang Sen and Dashanzi walked in front. When they were almost at the spring, Dashanzi stopped, turned around and shouted, "This area has the most food, let's get started!"

A dozen or so people dispersed to both sides.

Jiang Sen walked to the right.

There were patches of mushrooms and several pheasant nests over there; he had collected many wild eggs there.

Dashanzi followed behind him, shoveling snow back and forth with a shovel. When he saw wild vegetables, he would shovel down, even scooping up the ground, then bend down to pick out the vegetables and throw them into his basket.

Jiang Sen continued walking deeper into the area.

Soon, he saw the pheasant nests, covered in snow, looking like big steamed buns.

Jiang Sen gave a low whistle to Dashanzi behind him.

As soon as Dashanzi looked up, he saw Jiang Sen waving at him, but he didn't turn around, his eyes fixed on the few "steamed buns".

Da Shanzi's face lit up with surprise, and he walked over in a few steps. "What is it?"

"A pheasant's nest!"

"It looks like there are several nests."

"Get it?" Jiang Sen turned around and grinned at Da Shanzi.

Dashanzi also showed anticipation; no one else could cook a pot of pheasant soup in winter.

"alley!"

The two of them tiptoed over, first stopping in front of the nearest "steamed bun" and slowly squatting down.

It's easier to do it after taking off the gloves.

Jiang Sen slowly brushed away the snow from above, gradually revealing the protruding tree branches.

Further down, a section suddenly collapsed, and a pheasant poked its head out.

Jiang Sen reacted quickly, grabbing the chicken by the neck and pulling it out.

Dashanzi wasn't going to back down either; he grabbed a pheasant that was peeking out from behind him.

"Haha..." The two suppressed their laughter as they watched the pheasant flapping its wings.

Jiang Sen handed the pheasant to Dashanzi, took out a rope from his basket, tied the pheasant's feet, stuffed it into the basket, and then did the same to the others.

In just a short while, the two of them destroyed four chicken coops and a bunch of baby pheasants.

Unfortunately, there were no wild eggs; they all hatched.

They didn't continue; a string of pheasants was tied to a rope, which Dashanzi carried on his back.

In Jiang Sen's basket were a group of chirping baby wild chickens.

Although this thing is small, after raising it for a few days, it can be used to make a pot of soup.

The two returned to the road, where Da Liu, carrying a hunting rifle, was patrolling back and forth to prevent any wild animals from approaching.

"Squad leader!" Dashanzi shouted, "Look what we've got!"

Big Liu grinned and said, "Great! You've done all that."

Da Shanzi hung the rope on Da Liu's back, left one of the baskets behind, and went back to looking for food with Jiang Sen.

Someone turned around and burst out laughing.

Da Liu was already tall and burly, and he was also wearing a string of pheasants on his body, with red feathers and green skin, which was quite comical.

Da Liu didn't care and said, "What's so funny? If you're so capable, get a few yourself."

This time, Jiang Sen didn't find the pheasant's nest again, so he started looking for wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Dashanzi was very excited and kept splashing snow on the "steamed bun," only to find out after he had brushed off the snow that it was just a clump of bushes.

Keep going deeper.

Jiang Sen remembers that he took this very road when he got separated from the others.

He had to climb over the mountain, then go down, then go down again, and then he fell into a trap and met Yingzi.

However, he couldn't remember exactly where the trap was, only the general direction.

He looked up at the woods; everything looked the same.

The accident happened in my second year of being sent to the countryside in my previous life.

I'm only here now, I don't know if I'll meet her sooner.

As Jiang Sen searched for wild vegetables and mushrooms, he recalled his experience of coming here in his previous life.

I spent the entire winter here, lacking proper clothing and clothes, and became extremely thin.

But he still saved up the dried mushrooms and sent them back as soon as spring arrived.

During the Lunar New Year, we drank a thin porridge made with wild vegetables, so thin that you could see your reflection in it.

The following year, just as the ice began to freeze, Feng Chao reported him for having an affair with Shao Jiajia, and he was detained for three days.

After they came out, they pinned Feng Chao down in the snow and beat him up.

I wanted to kill him at the time, but my physical condition wouldn't allow it, and I ended up exhausted.

Immediately afterward, before any decision could be made on how to deal with him, he encountered another heavy snowfall that blocked the mountain pass. When he went out to find food, he fell into a trap.

He recovered quickly under the care of the old hunter and his granddaughter.

That period was the happiest and most blissful time of his life since he came to Beidahuang, or rather, the time he spent in his past life.

Yingzi had feelings for him, but he couldn't reciprocate because he had a "wife" and a "son".

He did not return to the camp until after spring.

At first, everyone thought he had frozen to death in the wild, but unexpectedly he came back alive.

Because of this incident, he was investigated by higher authorities for a long time and was eventually transferred to the Fourth Brigade.

In his final year, watching the educated youth who were admitted to universities and returned to the city for work, Jiang Sen felt like a walking corpse.

Finally, Jiang Dayou took pity on him and said that the street factory was hiring, so he was allowed to return to the city.

The nightmare continued, eventually leading to his imprisonment.

Jiang Sen sighed. Luckily, he was reborn. To hell with that kind of life!

All I need to do is wait until I see Yingzi.

Now, he has no ties or worries, and only wants to stay here, even if it's deep in the mountains and forests, to be a hunter with her.

"Rustling!"

A sound suddenly came from not far ahead, interrupting Jiang Sen's thoughts.

He stopped what he was doing and waved to Dashanzi, which was not far away.

Dashanzi immediately stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction he was pointing.

There's a ridge over there; the sound is coming from the other side.

Are wild animals out hunting for food?

My luck was absolutely terrible.

Only felines can make such a soft sound.

Then there are pheasants, rabbits, and the like.

Judging from the slow rhythm of the sound, the former is more likely.

Just as Jiang Sen was gesturing for Dashanzi to hurry up, a person popped out from behind the embankment.

"pony?"
