The little bear ran towards its mother, first giving her the fragrant Bai Ling fruit candy, then running down to the edge of the vegetable patch and dragging away a large piece of wild boar meat that Ye Liang had given it with its mouth.
Watching the bear cub drag a large piece of wild boar meat with its mouth and slowly follow its mother back into the woods, the junior sister felt a slight sense of satisfaction and thought, "I didn't expect that they, mother and cub, are still safe and sound. That's great. It's just a pity about our vegetable garden, which was ruined by the bear cub."
Ye Liang had already checked the area thoroughly, then smiled and corrected his junior sister, saying, "No. I looked at it, and the vegetable garden is indeed somewhat damaged, but judging from the footprints, it looks like it was done by wild boars from the mountains. The little bear was just eating the vegetables that they had damaged. You see, the little bear's footprints stop where I am standing now. This perfectly matches the scene when we saw it, it was sitting in this ditch."
"So, this little bear isn't bad after all!" The junior sister was even happier to realize that she had misunderstood the little bear.
Because deep down, she actually hoped that the little bear wouldn't be ungrateful and destroy their vegetable garden.
After all, they were the ones who saved it.
"Let's rebuild the bamboo fence that the wild boars damaged. Although the bamboo fence certainly won't keep out wild boars, it will be somewhat effective at keeping out wild rabbits and wild goats. As for dealing with the damage caused by wild boars, we'll just have to strengthen our own patrols," Ye Liang said.
This is why my senior sister insists on patrolling the sect every day.
There are too few people inside the mountain gate, and the area is too vast. Many places are uninhabited. Wild animals will not consider this a human-inhabited place and will wade in here and there, damaging the houses and accelerating their destruction. They will also leave a lot of droppings, and the smell will attract more wild animals, making them think this is also an uninhabited area where they can live. If this is not dealt with in time, it will truly become a wilderness overrun by wild animals.
This is also why old houses that are uninhabited deteriorate particularly quickly. When people live there and move around, there are far fewer pests like rats, and the house doesn't need frequent repairs, so the deterioration is slower. However, if a house is frequently uninhabited, even after two or three years, you'll find that one day, suddenly, the roof beams collapse, and that's why.
"Okay. Let's build the fence." The junior sister was very happy to be asked to do some work. Protecting her own vegetable garden herself gave her a sense of accomplishment.
"The children came to help too." Ye Liang smiled, and specially asked a few children to come and help, doing a little bit of work. He cut bamboo and they carried it.
Involving them in these small sect-related tasks will only strengthen their sense of belonging and awareness that they are also part of the sect. This is something Ye Liang did intentionally.
Surprisingly, the children were also very willing to do this job.
Then, they all followed Ye Liang. He used a hunting knife to cut bamboo, and the rest of them were responsible for dragging it over and handing it over to their junior sister to build a fence and re-enclose the vegetable garden.
After a while, the senior sisters, not seeing Ye Liang and the junior sister at the lotus pond, also came here. Seeing them building a fence, they smiled and joined in.
Now that everyone in the sect was present, it became a great activity for everyone to work together.
It's quite enjoyable to do something like this with everyone together.
Doing such small things is also beneficial to the senior sister's physical and mental health, helping her recover from the ups and downs of the past two days.
The same applies to children.
The childhood trauma inflicted on them by the bandit stronghold was somewhat alleviated through group activities. It wasn't a cure, but even a slight relief was a huge step forward, something that made Ye Liang feel gratified.
