In the deep winter of 1960, the snow in the mountains was more than half a foot thick, making a crunching sound when stepped on.
Zhao Wei was wrapped in a tattered cotton jacket, wearing a dog-skin hat, carrying an old hunting rifle, and trudging through the snow with difficulty.
The cold air scraped across my throat like a knife, as if it could freeze my lungs.
In this harsh environment, he must find a way to get some prey as soon as possible so that his wife, children and the elderly at home can survive.
Zhao Wei patted the snow that had fallen on his body and breathed heavily to absorb a little bit of heat.
The hot air he exhaled instantly turned into white mist in front of his eyes, blurring his vision.
He was originally a special operations reconnaissance soldier. While performing a covert mission, he was chased by his opponents, his car was hit, and he fell off a bridge and died.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again, I would be reborn as a man with the same name and surname.
The other party was a drunkard who was so reckless that he even planned to give his wife away in order to pay off his drinking debts.
My wife is Yunxiu, she is 20 years old. She is not only beautiful, but also hardworking and capable. She is a good woman among thousands.
But the good woman is matched with the lazy man. The original owner was born impotent and they can't have sex at all.
Afraid of being laughed at, he pushed everything onto Yunxiu, calling her a hen that doesn't lay eggs. He also liked to drown his sorrows in alcohol and would beat, scold and humiliate her at every turn.
After drinking heavily yesterday, he came back with a group of bad friends, clamoring to give Yunxiu away to pay off his debts.
The family was shocked when they heard this and naturally started making a lot of noise. The original owner, while drunk, accidentally hit his head on the edge of the bed and died, which allowed Zhao Wei to be reborn.
Yunxiu, who was treated as an object, kowtowed continuously and begged miserably with tears.
"Don't... let me go, please..."
"I can work like a slave for you. I will definitely pay back the debt. Please... don't do this to me!"
…
This group of drunkards said with ill intentions: "Stop talking nonsense. Your man owes us money for drinks, so it is only natural for us to ask you to pay him back. If you are sensible, come with us. We will treat you well, hehe..."
These people were particularly ruthless. During the struggle, Yunxiu's tattered clothes were torn in a few seconds, revealing her snow-white shoulders. Her beautiful spring scenery was faintly visible, which made these people salivate.
Zhao Wei's parents, who were standing by, rushed over to try to stop them.
"Let go of Xiu'er, you bastards!"
"I will fight you!"
…
"You two old fools, what are you doing here? Get out of here!"
These men were extremely vicious and beat the two men severely on the spot.
Seeing that these people were going to take Yunxiu away regardless of the consequences.
As for my grandmother's family and the people from the first and third rooms who lived not far away, they looked like they were dead, and no one came forward to help.
Zhao Wei couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up a bench and threw it at these people.
"I'm here, who dares to move?"
"Get out of here!"
These people were hit so hard that their heads were broken and bleeding, and they started to yell in anger.
"Zhao Wei, are you crazy? How dare you hit us?"
"You bastard, you said it well when you were drinking, but now it's too late to regret it!"
"If you have the ability, pay the money back. If you don't, use your wife as collateral. No matter what, we are right."
…
Zhao Wei frowned. He searched through the original owner's memory and finally found the so-called wine debt. It was just two bottles of liquor, which was only worth one dollar.
For such a small amount of money, he gave his wife away like a fool. The original owner was such a bastard...
"Give me three days, and I'll pay you back double. If I break my promise, you can do whatever you want with me."
"But if you still dare to pester me now, I am not afraid of you. At worst, we will both die together. It depends on who has the stronger life!"
Zhao Wei glared fiercely, with a strong murderous aura on his body, which was the result of countless experiences in the sea of blood and corpses. He was intimidating without being angry, and no one dared to underestimate him.
Normally, the original owner was just a weakling, cowardly and incompetent, and anyone could step on him.
Who would have thought that a different person had appeared at this moment, so tough that people dared not look him in the eye.
These people were afraid of death and finally left cursing. Only then did the family recover.
Although his mother Wang Caigu was beaten badly, she still rushed over first and checked on Zhao Wei anxiously.
"Son, are you okay? Did they hurt you anywhere?"
"You...I'm fine."
Faced with this unfamiliar maternal love, Zhao Wei passively accepted it, but he couldn't bring himself to call her "mother".
In his previous life, Zhao Wei was an orphan and had never felt the warmth of family.
After living on the streets for several years, he was adopted by a widower who raised him with only a rusty shotgun.
Give him some time. Since he has inherited the original owner's body, it is his responsibility and obligation to take good care of his parents and relatives.
Embarrassed, looking at Yunxiu who was still shivering on the ground, he took off his dog skin vest and draped it over her, just enough to cover up her exposed beauty.
"The ground is cold, get up quickly!"
Yunxiu shivered even more violently, not because of the cold, but because of fear.
Compared to those drunkards who just ate people, my man is the most vicious person in the world.
She subconsciously begged in a low voice: "Don't~don't hit me!"
At this moment, she is like a blue lotus in this turbid world, making people feel pity for her.
Zhao Wei had seen countless women, and he was also moved at this moment.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hit you, I'm just worried that you'll be cold."
Yunxiu looked at him with trembling pupils, unable to believe that her vicious husband would one day be so kind and cheerful.
Am I dreaming?
It was also at this time that her stomach made a rumbling sound, which made her blush.
She hadn't eaten for a day, so she was naturally very hungry.
Not only her, but her parents-in-law were also a little hungry and quickly tightened their belts a little more.
It was the dead of winter, but they were still wearing thin cotton-padded jackets and living in low, shabby thatched huts, unable to afford even the bran in the trough that the animals could not eat.
Zhao Wei felt very sad when seeing this.
It was at this time that his grandmother and her family finally showed up.
"Oh my, I was so hungry just now that I felt dizzy and couldn't walk. I don't know what happened. Fortunately, you are all okay."
"In that case, Zhao Wei, you should not just sit there idle. Hurry up and go up the mountain to get some food. We can't let the whole family starve to death."
Then he threw a shotgun to Zhao Wei and said, "Go and come back quickly. I raised you to this age, but you just eat dry food. How dare you do that?"
Going up the mountain at this time?
This mountain is cold and dangerous. Who would dare to go up the mountain alone if he is not an experienced hunter?
Does this mean old lady want him dead?
However, he had the same intention and just went up the mountain to get some food.
As for the rest, we’ll deal with it later.
