Some villagers had initially picked up many dead chickens and seen dead pigs.
However, An Jiuyue had warned them not to pick up dead animals that had been soaked in water to prevent contracting diseases. Hence, nobody dared to pick them up.
Compared to precious lives, such a small gain was insignificant.
The people in the An Clan Village were the only ones who could protect themselves. No one tried to take advantage of the situation because the Chief patrolled every house daily, ensuring nobody picked up dead animals.
If the Chief found those dead animals, the villagers would drag the animals away to be burned.
Back on the mountain, An Jiuyue was amused by Qian Yiyun, who could now almost juggle a pickaxe when she had previously struggled to even carry it.
"Stay at home today, Xiao Yiyun[1]. I'll go for a walk in the mountain. I'll come back in the afternoon to grill fish for you."
An Jiuyue instructed Qian Yiyun in the morning before leaving with her basket on her back.
