1940s: I supported my wife and sister-in-law by hunting.

(This story is a fictional tale set in a parallel world, on the border of Heilongjiang Province. If some details differ from reality, that's perfectly normal. Don't take it too seriously; this story is purely fictional, and any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.)

(For those under 18 years of age, please have a parent or guardian accompany you while reading.)

(Read without thinking, just for the thrill, not the heart.) The male lead starts off timid, gradually grows stronger, and eventually just goes for it. Just so you know, there's a pretty wicked fat guy who dies at chapter 40. I'm really afraid of getting criticized, and it's hard to revise, so this is the only way. I accept criticism of the story, but please don't resort to personal attacks.

January 1946, a cold winter month.

The northernmost part of the Great Northern Wilderness.

Xiaoling Mountains, Nangou Village.

Mountains upon mountains, mountains surrounding mountains.

"Shanzi, what are you doing? Take it easy, my calves are cramping, why are you pushing me onto the ground?"

"Are you a fucking animal? You have no guts whatsoever."

Chen Gaoshan was stunned. He heard the long-lost woman's voice and looked at the woman's back.

Is this how they test their cadres? What kind of cadre can withstand such a test?

His body's memory compelled him to quickly complete what he was supposed to do.

After finishing.

He squinted as he looked around. He was certain that this wasn't his small private room, nor was it the creaky metal bed that made him groan when he turned over.

It was pitch black and smelled of coal smoke, so I couldn't see what the room looked like.

"What are you doing? Why are you spacing out? Shanzi, don't scare me!"

As she spoke, the woman quickly got out of bed, not caring about anything else.

I reached out and smacked him in the face twice.

After being slapped twice, Chen Gaoshan came to his senses.

His grandmother's father time-traveled, just half an hour ago.

The daughter-in-law went to the outer room to fetch water.

He was lying on the scorching hot kang (a heated brick bed), his mouth covered by a blanket. It was cold, so cold! In contrast to the warm quilt, the room was filled with the steam of his breath.

In that brief moment, he sorted out his thoughts and memories, and accepted that he had indeed transmigrated into this parallel world, and that his brother was still the same brother.

Even the birthmark on her hand is still there.

After merging the memories, it felt as if I had actually lived in this world for nineteen years.

Name: Chen Gaoshan, Age: 19

Gender: Male.

Hobbies: Women.

There was a hunter whose father and mother were still alive, but his elder brother had been licked by a bear a year ago and died young, leaving behind a widowed sister-in-law with no children.

The woman who just helped me was my wife, an 18-year-old girl from the countryside named Lianhua.

Wang Lianhua is his sister-in-law's younger sister. Their family has been hunters for generations, and their conditions are among the best in the village. Half a year ago, his sister-in-law introduced her youngest sister to her brother-in-law, which can be considered as strengthening family ties.

As for why there is a person like him in this world, he doesn't know, but since he has already transmigrated, he can accept it even if some inexplicable things happen.

Chen Gaoshan was an ordinary online novelist, nothing special. He didn't have any stroke of luck, nor did he fall off a cliff, get electrocuted, be struck by lightning, or fall ill. He didn't die from overworking himself while writing all night. He just inexplicably fell asleep and came to this world.

After writing so many time-travel novels, damn it, it's finally my turn?

Cheat codes, system, space—come out!

Ugh, stop messing with me!

He mentally screamed for a long time, then patted himself down, but there were no jade pendants or rings. Damn it, he had nothing. In this era, surviving in such a harsh environment was incredibly difficult.

That's not fair!

In an instant, he seemed to appear in a vast, ethereal world with no end in sight.

That makes sense; how could a time-traveling adventure not have a cheat code?

He kept thinking about going out, but then he returned to the warm kang (heated brick bed). He reached for the broom handle next to him to try it out, and it disappeared in an instant.

Then it appeared again, and Chen Gaoshan finally breathed a sigh of relief. With this space, even without the system, he could survive here and live a comfortable life.

Just as he was seriously thinking about what to do next, the door was pushed open without him noticing. Hearing the creaking of the door leaf, he sat up abruptly, and a chill immediately rushed into the bed.

"Who?"

Wang Lianhua quickly put the wooden basin on the ground, walked briskly to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and reached out to hug his left leg.

He was muttering something under his breath.

"Hey buddy's here, he's here, he's here, he's here."

It called out seven times in a row, asking and answering itself, and then hit him on the head.

"Touch its fur, it won't scare you; touch its ears, it'll scare you for a while. Chen Gaoshan, you've come home with me, you're back."

At this moment, her big eyes were fluttering, and in the moonlight, her face was oval-shaped. Her face and body were two different colors; her body was quite fair, but her face was a bit yellow. However, she was quite pleasing to the eye.

She was wearing a floral jacket, and the bag looked quite large, indicating it contained a lot of goods.

Wang Lianhua was busy running around in front of him. He didn't know why. When ordinary people transmigrate to a world where they don't know what year it is, they only know that their peaceful life has just been overthrown. So it could be four or five years, or even four or six years.

Others would be shocked and scared, but he felt a little lucky.

Does this mean there's no 996 or 007 work schedule here?

He doesn't need to stay up all night writing anymore? He doesn't need to worry about dying suddenly.

Chen Gaoshan's parents were hit and killed by a truck when he was seven years old. The truck driver has never been found. After that, he lived with his grandmother. His grandmother passed away when he graduated from elementary school.

Fortunately, the village chief was a kind person and gave him a minimum living allowance, which saved him from starving to death.

He had thought about finding a wife and settling down, but he had no money, no house, and no stable job. What girl would want to be with him?

He already has a wife? Did he get her for nothing?

Not 188,000?

He has a family now.

Chen Gaoshan didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to grab her hand. "Wife, I'm fine now, I'm alright. I must have been tired just now, don't call me anymore."

"Is it really nothing, or am I just pretending?"

"Did you... when you went to the outhouse just now, did you expel something? Tomorrow I'll have my mother go to Aunt Wang Er at the east end of the village to have her take a look."

"It's really alright now." After saying that, he picked up his wife and carried her onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Seeing that he had recovered and was back to his old self, Wang Lianhua felt relieved. That's how it should be; it's never been so easy to finish in one go.

It seems that the old-fashioned method of calling back the soul is really effective.

Another hour passed, and Chen Gaoshan looked at his wife squatting on the ground washing their underwear, and he couldn't help but laugh.

A wife, kids, and a warm bed—that's a pretty good life.

Hearing the men on the kang (heated brick bed) chuckling foolishly, Wang Lianhua threw her washed underwear at them.

"Put it on the fire wall, bake it overnight and it'll dry. The silly woman drank her own piss and was laughing non-stop. Hurry up and come down to wash up and go to sleep. I have to get up early to cook tomorrow."

He definitely needed to wash, otherwise his skin would be peeling from all the dirt. When he got back to the kang (heated brick bed), he could hear Lianhua's even breathing; she was exhausted.

He was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open. He had just arrived and had already exerted so much effort, so he was indeed a bit tired and drifted off to sleep.
