Green Ridge Bandit Bone

Young Mo Jianjian accidentally injures a fellow village girl in a moment of carelessness, and a sudden disaster befalls him. Village rules are as sharp as knives, and official law is merciless. Unable to bear the huge compensation, he has no choice but to abandon his homeland and flee alone into the vast deep mountains. In the desolate wilderness, hungry and cold, surrounded by wolves and tigers, with no way out, Mo Jianjian finally steps into the infamous Green Ridge Bandit Stronghold. Here, there is no morality or warmth, only the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. The mountain leaders harbor their own schemes, the underlings scheme against each other, and human life is as cheap as grass. In the midst of a turbulent era, with no family background to rely on and no lucky encounters, he can only grip a rusty blade and struggle to survive amidst the schemes and conspiracies. Starting as a low-level bandit, he endures battles and betrayals, sees through the good and evil of human nature, and gradually fights for survival in the power struggles of the stronghold. His homeland is within sight but he can never return; the road ahead is fraught with danger, and only by paving it with bones can he proceed. When the flames of war rise among the mountains and the world is in turmoil, this young bandit who fled from the riverbank will eventually carve out a rugged path of blood and sweat through the Green Ridge mountains. — Description from novelcodex.org
