Reborn in the Great Northern Wilderness in 1982, I farmed and hunted to support my whole family.

"Don't worry! I know all of this, there won't be any trouble." Li Siming patted his chest to assure him, after all, his ancestors had started out in business.

He still remembered the basic principles of doing business very well.

With Li Siming's assurance, Li Mu felt reassured and left the village with Gao Ga Zi on a sled.

However, after leaving the village, Gao Ga Zi did not immediately drive his sled towards the mountain forest; instead, he headed towards the winter road.

This piqued Li Mu's curiosity. "Brother Ga Zi, where are we going?"

"The forest farm, where we can borrow a gun."

Gao Ga Zi's reply was simple, but Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

A shotgun!

In his past life, he had also been a hunter.

But back then, with the Russians, tens of thousands of dollars could buy any kind of gun, let alone a hunting rifle.

Just thinking about it is exciting!

However, this also brought back memories of Lin Mu's past life.

In the 80s, the forest farm was larger than the entire inspection team, and you needed a work permit to enter the forest farm.

Moreover, the entire forest farm can be said to be the richest place in this area. The family compound is full of brick and tile houses, unlike most of the houses in their village, which are still mud-brick houses.

He remembered that several of his classmates came from the forest farm, and after graduation, most of them returned to the forest farm, while a few went on to university.

Lin Mu couldn't quite recall who they were for the moment.

I only remember a guy named Lin Jiadong. His father was a forestry hero who sacrificed his life to fight a fire. Later, he took over his father's job and stayed at the forestry farm.

He later appeared on television for arresting a poaching gang.

As Li Mu was thinking this, he saw five people standing at the entrance of the forest farm's office area. The one in the lead was almost identical to Gao Ga Zi in both appearance and demeanor.

"Gao Tuan!"

As soon as Gao Ga Zi stopped the sled, the leader stepped forward and stood in front of it, giving Gao Ga Zi a straight salute.

"Is everything ready?" Gao Ga Zi asked coldly, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

"Everything is ready!"

The person answered loudly, the sound so loud that Lin Mu's ears were ringing.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him handed him two hunting rifles and a green satchel full of bullets. The person quickly handed them to Gao Ga Zi.

But just as Gao Ga Zi reached out to take it, the man pleaded, "Commander Gao, please let me go with you!"

"Look at him, he's barely grown any hair, would he even know how to use this thing?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was displeased and glared at the man, shouting, "Who are you calling immature? Who can't use it?"

But his words piqued Gao Ga Zi's curiosity.

"You know how to use this?"

"Of course! Which village hasn't had a hunting rifle? I've known how to use one since I was a kid."

Li Mu boasted without thinking, and seeing that Gao Ga Zi and the other man were looking at him with suspicion, he immediately got angry and snatched the hunting rifle from the other man's hand.

He turned around, cocked his gun, and fired a shot at a pheasant that suddenly flew overhead.

The pheasant, which had just spread its wings from the grass, fell to the ground with a thud.

Li Mu smiled smugly, holding the hunting rifle, "How about it? Does it work?"

As he spoke, he grabbed his hunting rifle and headed towards where the pheasant had landed. Before long, he pulled a large pheasant, weighing at least three pounds, out of the bushes.

Seeing this, Gao Ga Zi raised his eyebrows and turned to the person next to him, "Alright! We're not going into the mountains to fight, we're going to find something."

Hearing this, the man reluctantly handed over the two hunting rifles and the green satchel to Gao Ga Zi.

“Then I’ll have two more men follow you, Gao Tuan, otherwise they’ll also need to go into the mountains to patrol.”

Fearing another rejection, the person spoke and explained.

"Alright! Let's go with the two of them!" Gao Ga Zi casually agreed.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Mu ran back carrying a pheasant, grinning as he said, "Brother Ga Zi, let's roast this, it'll be absolutely delicious."

Gao Ga Zi glanced at the pheasant, then turned and pointed to the two people beside him, saying, "These two will come into the mountains with us."

Help!

Li Mu greeted them with a smile, "Hello, brothers!"

The two men also politely replied to Li Mu's words.

"Hello comrade, my name is Zhang Feng, but everyone calls me Shanfeng."

"Hello comrade, my name is Zhao Lei, but everyone calls me Landmine."

Zhang Feng and Zhao Lei, together they are Lei Feng, aren't they?

What a coincidence!

Li Mu nodded and smiled at the two of them, "Hello, my name is Li Mu, but everyone calls me Mu Zi."

After everyone gave each other brief introductions, they began their journey into the mountains and forests.

However, this trip into the deep forest proved to be more difficult than they had anticipated.

The heavy snow began falling on the sixth day after Li Mu and his group entered the forest, making it impossible for them to turn back.

To avoid getting lost in the heavy snow, the group quickly reinforced a snowdrift using the available resources.

The four of them huddled in the snowdrift, patiently waiting for the snow to stop through the opening they dug every day.

When thirsty, he drank water boiled with snow; when hungry, he ate the cornbread he had brought; and during the past few days in the mountains, Li Mu would hunt one or two pheasants or rabbits whenever he had free time.

"I wonder when this will ever end!"

After digging through the snow that had blocked his calves, Zhang Feng frowned deeply as he looked at the snow still falling gently outside the door.

"Let's wait three more days! If the snow doesn't stop in three days, I reckon it'll be about time in another three days." Li Mu said lazily, sitting in the innermost seat with his hands in his sleeves.

He was on night watch last night and was exhausted after not sleeping all night.

As they spoke, they kept yawning.

"Three days? Will this snow really stop in three days?" Zhao Lei peeked outside in disbelief. He felt that the snow not only showed no signs of stopping, but was actually falling even harder than before!

He voiced his doubts, intending to ask Li Mu again, but as soon as he turned around, Li Mu started snoring.

"That kid, he falls asleep quickly."

Zhao Lei smiled and turned to Gao Ga Zi, "Gao Tuan, what do you think about recruiting this kid into the army?"

"Not so good. All he thinks about is how to make money. Our army isn't suitable for him." Gao Ga Zi shook his head with a smile.

Zhang Feng and Zhao Lei looked at each other, puzzled. What he said seemed reasonable, but something just felt off.

However, just as the three of them fell silent, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the snowdrift.

"Crackling, crackling," it sounded like something was lying down in the snow.

Li Mu, who was catching up on sleep, was suddenly awakened. He quickly sat up and, before anyone else could react, rushed to the door and peered out through the crack in the door.

Amidst a vast expanse of white snow, a two-meter-long tiger, its body covered in golden fur and black tattoos, strode fiercely toward them.
