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

With the tiger outside, Li Mu quickly waved behind him.

Just as Zhang Feng was about to push Li Mu away, somewhat confused, Gao Ga Zi grabbed his arm and handed the hunting rifle to Li Mu.

Without even turning his head, Li Mu raised his hunting rifle and fired a shot at the approaching tiger.

The deafening gunshot not only scared away the tiger, but also shook the snow off the trees, causing it to fall to the ground.

The door, which had just been pried open, was instantly covered by snow.

Li Mu didn't rush to speak. Instead, he carefully dug through the snow and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no longer any tiger outside.

"That was close, it was a fully grown tiger."

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't we have hunting rifles?" Zhang Feng asked, somewhat puzzled. He hadn't seen a tiger since he was transferred to the forest farm after retiring from the military.

But you can always hear the old people in the forest farm talking about using hunting rifles to hunt tigers. They said that even with four people and four hunting rifles, they were still afraid of a tiger.

"Hey bro, haven't you memorized the forest ranger's rules yet? That tiger was classified as a rare animal in 57, and hunting it means you have to be crouched on a fence."

Li Mu rolled his eyes at Zhang Feng, somewhat speechless, even though there wasn't yet a saying that "everyone is responsible for protecting wild animals."

However, the law protecting the Siberian tiger, an extremely rare large animal, has existed since 57.

In a year or two, not to mention tigers, even black bears, foxes, and forest frogs won't be so easy to catch.

If a pheasant falls into your pot, you can still send it in.

Zhang Feng really didn't know this. He had only been at the forest farm for less than a week, and they had indeed been given a set of rules for forest rangers.

Unfortunately, he had only flipped through a few pages and hadn't even had time to memorize it yet!

Zhang Feng turned to Zhao Lei with some suspicion, nudging him with his elbow, "Landmine, is there really a rule in our code that says we should protect tigers?"

"It seems so! I'll take a closer look when we get back," Zhao Lei said, not entirely sure.

They came to the forest farm together. From a soldier who was protecting the country, to a forest ranger who spends all day looking at trees, there was a bit of resentment in his heart.

Seeing that the two of them knew absolutely nothing about the Forest Guardian Laws, Li Mu began to guess what they were thinking.

However, their primary task now is to protect the forests. In a few years, their main goal will not only be to prevent timber theft but also to prevent poaching and damage to wild plants.

But that's all for the future; right now, the forest is a vast treasure trove.

The crackdown has not yet begun, and normal hunting and gathering activities have not yet become rampant.

Li Mu's eyes flickered slightly. If he wanted to make a fortune, he still needed to rely on the deep mountains. But if he wanted a steady stream of wealth, he still needed to build a foundation on animal husbandry and aquaculture.

He had already planned all of this, and once he had saved enough money, his first goal was to contract the Xiaohetao region.

Li Mu's thoughts drifted far away, but his hands never stopped moving.

Before long, the snow at the door was cleared away, and looking at the snow that was beginning to lighten, Li Mu crawled out of the dugout.

But before he could even stand up straight and look around properly, he felt a gust of wind howling from behind him.

Li Mu instinctively crouched down, about to turn around to see what was going on, when a huge black shadow crashed down in front of him with a "bang".

"Snap! You bear, how did this thing get out?"

Without a second thought, Li Mu raised his hunting rifle and fired a shot at the blind black bear.

However, just as he pulled the trigger, the blind bear turned around and pounced on him with a roar.

Before Li Mu could load the gun, Xiong Xiazi's paw slammed into the muzzle of his weapon.

The immense impact slammed both the gun and the man into a nearby snowdrift, while two deafening gunshots rang out at the same time.

"Muzi!" Gao Gazi and his two companions had just emerged from their dugout when they witnessed this scene.

Without hesitation, the three men pulled out their guns and fired three more shots at the blind black bear. Only then did its massive body sway and fall to the ground in the snow.

Upon seeing this, Gao Ga Zi immediately ran to Li Mu's side, "Mu Zi, Mu Zi, how are you?"

After being called twice, Li Mu, who was lying in the snow, finally responded.

"I, I'm fine! My ears are just ringing!" Li Mu replied in a trembling voice. Just as he was about to get up, he noticed that the spot where his face had been pressed down looked a bit strange.

It's bright red, could it be a ginseng fruit?

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly raised his hand to adjust his hat, which was partially obstructing his vision. "Brother Ga Zi, I think I've stepped on some ginseng."

Ginseng!

Gao Ga Zi's heart tightened upon hearing this.

They quickly helped Li Mu up and looked at the patch of snow that had been pressed down on him.

Even though the little red fruit had just sprouted, you could tell what it was just by looking at it.

"Ginseng, it really is ginseng!" Gao Ga Zi couldn't help but get excited.

This is what they mean by "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly".

Li Mu said with a wry smile, "We're really lucky to have dug our den right in front of the bear's door. I think we were just guarding it when we took the stuff, and that big tiger came here for it too."

Animals have a far more acute sense of smell than humans, and some animals can even eat precious herbs like ginseng.

In their eyes, this thing is equally important.

As soon as Li Mu said this, Gao Ga Zi realized that a huge tree hole had appeared behind their dugout at some point.

He remembered that when they arrived, there was nothing there.

No, it's not that there's nothing there, there's just a snowdrift.

They noticed that the snow there wasn't thick enough to block the wind, so they chose this snowdrift to dig their nest.

It turned out that the snowdrift wasn't because the snow wasn't thick enough, but because there was a semi-circular hole dug under it.

Black bears want to hibernate, not smother themselves to death.

"What do we do now! The ground is frozen solid, how are we going to dig up the ginseng?" Gao Ga Zi, who had already come to his senses, was at a loss for what to do.

"The ground is frozen solid. We need to dig trenches around the perimeter and light fires to warm the ground before we can dig this thing."

Li Mu spoke in a deep voice. He had finally managed to get up, but he felt as if all his strength had been drained by the black bear.

If he could, he would like someone to make up a big bed for him right now, and he would want to lie on it for three days and three nights.

"What about the black bear? What should we do with it?" Zhao Lei looked at the black bear with some difficulty. This guy was huge and he couldn't move it by force.

"Skin them, debone them!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.

This black bear is a treasure from head to toe.

Besides the bear skin, the heart and gallbladder are extremely rare medicinal ingredients.
