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.
