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

Li Qianjin's eyes welled up with tears as he listened to his brother's words, but he absolutely refused to accept them.

"Who do you take me for! You have to be polite with me! You have to take this money. If you don't, it means you don't recognize me as your brother!"

Jiang Xuefen listened silently. Her second brother, Li Mu, was a kind-hearted boy who always thought of his family. But Li Qianjin was also a man of principle and was unwilling to accept his brother's charity for no reason.

Seeing that the two were at an impasse, Jiang Xuefen spoke up: "Just accept it. Once you build a new house and life is better, you can return it to him. You can't expect Xiangnan to continue living in that leaky, dilapidated mud house, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qianjin remained silent for a moment before slowly accepting the money, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Muzi, thank you so much. Once I build a new house and life gets better, I will definitely pay you back."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother, we're family, so there's no need for formalities. As long as you're doing well, I'm happy."

The three talked for a while longer before Li Mu got up to say goodbye, saying he was going to the back mountain to see if he could hunt anything else.

Jiang Xuefen said with some concern, "Muzi, be careful, don't get into danger like last time."

Li Mu responded and then turned and left.

He walked towards the back of the mountain, and when he passed Huang Xiu'e's door, he knocked and called out, "Aunt Huang, are you home?"

"I'm here!"

Huang Xiu'e's voice came from inside the house, tinged with surprise and eagerness. She quickly walked to the door, pulled it open, and saw Li Mu standing outside, a smile spreading across her face.

"Mu Zi, come in quickly! You've come at the right time! The wine is already warmed up, just waiting for you! Come on, come in and sit down!"

As soon as Li Mu entered the room, he smelled the fragrance of herbs. He was very familiar with this smell; it was the same smell from his previous life!

"Come on, Mu Zi, have a taste."

Huang Xiu'e held a small bowl filled with dark brown medicinal wine and handed it to Li Mu.

"They've added deer blood to it, it's incredibly nutritious! Try it and see how it tastes!"

Li Mu took the small bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and felt a warm current flow from his throat straight through his whole body, which then transformed into a power that filled his limbs and bones.

This deer blood wine truly lives up to its reputation; it's incredibly nourishing!

He put down the bowl, exhaled a puff of hot air, and praised, "Good wine! Aunt Huang, your skills are truly superb. This deer blood wine is a hundred times better than those so-called famous wines outside!"

Huang Xiu'e smiled from ear to ear: "Mu Zi, you have such a sweet tongue. Any girl who marries you in the future will be so lucky! Come, come, have another bowl. Aunt Huang has plenty here!"

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "No, no, Aunt Huang, I'll take this wine with me today. Here's a hundred yuan, consider it my payment to you."

Huang Xiu'e quickly pushed the red banknote back.

"Mu Zi, what are you doing? It's just a pot of wine, why would I take your money? If you like it, Aunt Huang has plenty more, just come and take it."

Li Mu insisted on stuffing the money into Huang Xiu'e's hand.

"Aunt Huang, please don't stand on ceremony with me. Your deer blood wine is a very nourishing tonic, much more valuable than my sika deer hide. You must accept this money, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed to come again."

Seeing Li Mu's resolute attitude, Huang Xiu'e had no choice but to accept the money, but her heart was warmed with gratitude.

Li Mu carefully put the deer blood wine into a cloth bag, carried it on his shoulder, said goodbye to Huang Xiu'e, and then walked up to the back.

As he walked, he savored the taste of the deer blood wine, and couldn't help but think to himself: This deer blood wine is so magical, if I could brew more and sell it in the county, wouldn't I be able to make a fortune?

Thinking of this, Li Mu quickened his pace. He soon arrived at the back of the mountain and walked deeper into it.

There is a solid path underfoot, indicating that people frequently come and go.

Further in lies the depths of a dense forest, a place I've never ventured before.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Mu suddenly noticed a faint sound ahead. He stopped, held his breath, and listened intently.

The commotion seemed to be coming from not far ahead, and he could vaguely hear a low roar.

He carefully walked forward, parted the dense bushes, and suddenly the view opened up before him.

Not far ahead, there was an open space, and on this open space, a huge creature was slowly pacing.

It was a huge black bear, covered in thick black fur, with fierce eyes, sniffing at something on the ground.

Not far from it, there was a wild boar lying with its belly cut open!

Li Mu gasped in shock. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he accidentally stepped on a dry branch, making a crisp "crack" sound.

The black bear suddenly raised its head, its eyes fixed on Li Mu, its fangs bared, and it let out a low roar.

This is terrible, we're in big trouble now.

In the blink of an eye, the black bear pounced on Li Mu like a black lightning bolt.

Li Mu quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the black bear's attack. He steadied himself, looked at the enormous creature before him, and silently considered his next move.

This black bear is incredibly strong and has thick skin. If I were to fight it head-on, I would definitely be no match for it. I only have a hunting knife, so I need to think of a way to outsmart it.

"boom!"

With another loud bang, the black bear pounced on Li Mu again, this time faster and stronger.

Startled, Li Mu quickly rolled away to avoid the black bear's attack. He seized the opportunity to get up and retreat behind a large tree, intending to use the terrain to his advantage and maneuver against the bear.

Seeing that its attack had failed, the black bear became even more ferocious, searching everywhere for Li Mu's figure while roaring repeatedly.

Li Mu hid behind a tree, not daring to breathe.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the black bear's attention had been drawn to the wild boar not far away.

It turned out that there were still some pieces of meat left on the wild boar's carcass that the black bear hadn't finished eating.

A thought struck Li Mu, and an idea came to him. He quietly slipped out from behind the tree, picked up a stone, and threw it forcefully at the wild boar's carcass.

"boom!"

The stone struck the wild boar's carcass with a loud thud. Startled by the sudden sound, the black bear abruptly turned its head to look in the direction of the wild boar.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Mu quickly ran out from behind the tree and fled in the opposite direction.

The black bear roared and was about to give chase.

But at that moment, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its stomach.

It turned out that the wild boar had been preyed upon by the black bear, but before it died, it used all its might to slash a gash in the bear's belly with its tusks. Although the gash was not deep, it became the bear's fatal wound.
