Chapter 244. The Valley’s Great Transformation
At the exit, after more than half a year of organizing, it had drastically changed. The shrubs and trees at the entrance were left untouched, but Hua Chengtian led people to build a large stone gate, with walls nearly two zhang high. The gate itself was half a foot thick; it was almost impossible to pass through this place from the mountain.
The next step was to enclose the valley along the mountain range where they resided and dig some traps.
Although no large beasts had been discovered yet, once everyone moved over, including the elderly, children, and parents, it was necessary to take precautions.
It’s better to be safe than sorry!
There wasn’t a lack of anything in the mountains, especially wood. Hundreds of strong men spent half their days cutting down trees, while the other half were led by Hua Meng and Meng Cai to enclose the mountain range. Everyone had their duties and was full of enthusiasm.
Occasionally, a few wild animals would stumble in, providing a chance to improve their meals.
After another month’s time, the areas around the mountains were completely enclosed by neatly trimmed trees. It was almost impossible for large animals to enter.
By this time, it was the ninth month of the extreme cold.
"Song’er, are you going out again?" The old master Luo asked knowingly as he looked at his fully armed grandson.
"Yes, Grandfather. I’ll be back soon, you should stay in the cave and not go out," Luo Song reminded worriedly.
