"What's wrong?"
"The ferocious beasts aren't the scariest thing. The scariest thing is the thirty dead bodies in the box in the Water Curtain Cave. Where is the murderer? Could he be lurking in some corner of the deep mountains?"
My aunt, Uncle Zhong, and Village Chief Lin had discussed several times about carrying the people out of the Water Curtain Cave and burying them, but they were busy clearing land for farming and going into the mountains to find food. In addition, they deliberately forgot about it, so they have been putting it off until now without dealing with the dead people in the Water Curtain Cave.
Actually, there aren't enough seeds this year, so people don't have much land to plant. They can only plant more crops next year. What they're planting now is barely enough to make ends meet. To sustain them until next autumn's harvest, they'll have to rely on hunting and gathering wild vegetables for subsidies.

He didn't dare to go to the Water Curtain Cave to see it with his own eyes. He often had nightmares even without seeing it, and he didn't want to be frightened again.
He originally thought that with food and clothing already a problem, clearing land for farming and going into the mountains to find food was tiring enough, so who would have time to do anything else? But after learning that there were dead people in the Water Curtain Cave, he took the initiative to persuade the villagers to practice martial arts whenever they had free time.
Whether they were children, teenagers, or adults, whoever had free time would learn to make them. They also made quite a few handy weapons, including kitchen knives, farm tools, and large knives they found on the road. They also had many sharp wooden spikes and sharp bamboo tools made.
Of course, the most lethal weapons were the poisons and anesthetics developed by Ye Moxun. It can be said that he was very well prepared and was just waiting for the villains to enter the village.
