Xu Jinan couldn't stand being in such a remote mountain forest and wanted to leave, but his wife suddenly discovered she was pregnant.
His wife was already in poor health, and now that she was pregnant, she couldn't travel at all. Besides, this was the only child he could ever have in his life.
Xu Jinan had no choice but to stay there.
He built a small wooden hut and went hunting every day with the firearms and knives he carried with him, living almost the most primitive life.
Who is Xu Jinan?
He was originally the young master of the Xu family, a well-known family in the underworld.
Later, the Xu family fell into ruin, and Xu Jin'an plummeted to the bottom overnight. He went from a dissolute young nobleman to a street thug, living a life of wandering and despair for several years, sometimes eating a full meal and sometimes going hungry.
Later, he was unwilling to accept this situation, so he worked hard and climbed back up from the bottom!
He fought his way through countless obstacles and once again became the infamous Master Xu in the underworld.
Although he has not yet overthrown the enemies who suppressed the Xu family back then, he has managed to regain his footing.
Just when he was about to avenge his great enemy, Xu Jin'an's old habit relapsed.
—A gambler.
The former young master Xu used to gamble away thousands of dollars in one night on a cruise ship, squandering his wealth recklessly.
The years of hardship had driven him crazy, and he finally couldn't resist going back to his old haunts.
He met and fell in love with a good girl when he was down on his luck, which caused them to quarrel several times.
But he felt he earned more, had more money and power, so he didn't care.
In his descent into depravity, he unknowingly fell into a trap set by his rivals, losing both his money and his life within days!
The debt collectors became increasingly ruthless, escalating their demands from seeking money to threatening his life.
Having narrowly escaped death, Xu Jinan's foundation was severed!
When he looked back, the city was full of enemies, and the only one still by his side was the girl from the beginning.
He had no choice but to flee with his wife, and after several twists and turns, they finally entered this deep mountain forest.
His wife is understanding, considerate and gentle. Although Xu Jinan is unwilling and still has ambitions, he still endures it when he sees his hardworking wife.
A few months later, his wife gave birth to a lovely daughter.
He was overjoyed for a long time and went out of his way to hunt a doe to nurse his daughter and to nourish his wife.
For months on end, the days when his family was together were the happiest days of his life.
However, with the arrival of winter, the number of prey decreased sharply, forcing Xu Jin'an to travel a long way out of the village to the market to sell his goods in exchange for food.
Even so, they still lived frugally every day, leading an exceptionally poor life.
His wife's bitter smile, his daughter's crying, the pressure of life and the resentment he felt made him restless and anxious.
One day, after selling his goods, he saw a casino and couldn't resist going inside.
That day, he brought a lot of things home, and his wife and daughter were overjoyed.
The same thing happened on the second day, and on the third day...
Day 4...
He limped home, without bringing back a single penny.
His wife then realized what was going on and had a big argument with him.
Already feeling frustrated, Xu Jinan became enraged and unleashed a torrent of angry words at his wife and daughter.
For example: "If it weren't for you, I would have made a comeback long ago!"
That day, my usually gentle wife's eyes reddened and her face turned cold.
From that day on, he never won again, and lost most of the things he had bought for the house. His wife also stopped giving him a kind look.
This family seemed to have reached its most difficult time.
To make matters worse, her daughter suddenly fell ill.
When he was rushed to a small hospital outside the mountains that night, they said it was a case of supernatural power riots. His brain had been completely destroyed and he was beyond saving. He would only be able to lie in bed and be taken care of to barely survive.
The little child understood nothing; the calamity that struck from the sky had already extinguished all her possibilities.
His wife fainted several times from crying, and hysterically beat and scolded him, saying that it was all his fault and that the retribution had fallen on their daughter.
After he had finished beating and scolding her, she cried and said she was useless and almost committed suicide, but he stopped her in the end.
That day, seeing his wife and daughter suffering a fate worse than death, Xu Jin'an was heartbroken.
After that, life became even more difficult.
His daughter, though young, is mentally challenged and unconscious. She cries only when she's hungry and is completely unable to care for herself. His wife spends all her time doting on their daughter and is indifferent to him.
Over time, Xu Jinan's initial shock and grief gradually turned into annoyance, and finally into numbness.
So, on that day, just because of something as trivial as whether his daughter's food was too hot, he hit his wife!
After the fight, his wife's broken eyes jolted him awake, leaving him breathless and unable to catch his breath.
He fled hastily from the home that had driven him to madness.
After spending two days in the casino, Xu Jinan felt frightened by the gamblers who had lost their families, but also envious of those who made a fortune.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and left.
He thought of his wife and daughters at home. He had been away for two days. How were they surviving in the mountains?
Xu Jinan went up the mountain after a long time, originally intending to hunt, but little did he know that this trip would completely change his fate.
After the worst comes the best.
On this desolate mountain, he encountered a turning point in his life.
"Oh My God!"
At the foot of the mountain, a circular pit more than ten meters deep suddenly appeared, and the surrounding ground was cracked in a radial pattern.
Xu Jin'an came from a good family. Although he was a playboy in his youth, he was not uneducated. He immediately recognized that this was likely formed by the arrival of extraterrestrial aliens.
But after standing by the pit for a long time, he found that there was no movement at all.
Suddenly, he noticed something glittering at the bottom of the pit, and he immediately recognized it.
—That's gold!
He immediately used a hunting rope to climb down to the bottom of the pit, and upon inspection, he found that it was not gold, but a golden metal.
