Her gaze swept over everyone: "Think long-term! These things are more valuable than those vegetable scraps!"

Everyone looked at the broken vegetable stalk in Jiang Chan's hand, then at the piglets happily rooting around in their feed and the chicks pecking at bits of scraps...

It seems... that makes sense!

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! You can't catch a fat pig without risking your vegetable leaves!

"Understood, girl!" Zhao Si's wife was the first to react, taking the feed bag and quickly preparing to mix the feed. "Feed! Feed it well! Feed it until it's strong and healthy!"

The others also got to work, some chopping vegetables, others mixing seasonings, carefully tending to these "golden nuggets".

The chicks were temporarily placed in incubators, and Jiang Chan briefly explained the insulation requirements. The piglets and lambs were treated less carefully and were temporarily confined in a makeshift fence made of branches and hemp rope.

The piglets were quite lively, burrowing around in the pen and grunting softly.

But those little lambs, though still small, had amazing jumping ability! In just a few moments, they leaped out of the low, swaying branch fence! The crowd gasped in fright and hurriedly chased after them back.

"This won't do!" Chen Yan frowned as he looked at the flimsy fence. "We need to build a sturdy enclosure!"

"Yes! Pigs need to be penned up too! Otherwise they'll run around everywhere and damage the vegetable garden!"

Jiang Chan looked at the group of energetic little ones, then at the practically useless fence, and nodded: "Get it done right away! Build pigsties! Chicken coops! Sheep pens! They have to be sturdy! They have to provide shelter from the wind and rain!"

At the command, the entire camp sprang into action once again!

With previous experience in building houses, this time the approach was more targeted.

Zhao Si led several strong men, dragging hastily sawed tree trunks, and carrying stone axes and machetes, to begin building a sturdy frame.

"Bury the pillars deeper! Tamp them down with stones! Secure the beams firmly!"

"The pigsty walls need to be thick! Pigs will root around! Put stones at the bottom, and then build mud bricks on top!"

Chen Yan then gathered several skillful men and women to go to the riverbank to cut down the resilient bamboo.

"Split the bamboo! Turn it into strips!"

"Yes! Fine bamboo strips are used to weave the walls, and coarse bamboo strips are used for the beams!"

"The chicken coop is made of woven bamboo! Layer upon layer, woven very tightly!"

The bamboo strips danced in the air, their clinking creating a crisp sound. The women's nimble fingers flew across the paper, and soon, a dense and sturdy bamboo wall was woven into existence.

The children weren't idle either; they were assigned to cut more flexible thatch and collect it to prepare for the roof.

Those digging foundations, cutting down trees, splitting bamboo, weaving walls, mowing grass...

The entire camp resembled a small workshop with a clear division of labor.

Clang! Crack! Shouts! The sound of bamboo strips rubbing together! The dull thud of a tree trunk hitting the ground!

A lively and bustling scene!

Everyone has only one goal: to provide a secure home for the precious creatures bestowed upon them by the Mountain God!

Jiang Chan stood on a slightly higher point, watching the busy crowd, listening to the vibrant noise, and feeling the ground tremble beneath her feet.

The chirping of chicks, the grunting of piglets, and the bleating of lambs, mixed with the sounds of labor, weave together a hopeful symphony of life rooted in this place.

The enclosures, through the sweat of everyone, emerged from the soil like crops in the field, slowly taking shape.
