Over two hundred people began working together, and the once ravaged valley immediately transformed.
The scattered remains and limbs on the ground were all collected to the deep eastern side of the valley, where they were burned with branches and broken wood. Although everyone watched the towering flames with pain etched on their faces, this was the only way to prevent disease.
Although that giant wooden puppet was already dead, its body remained intact. Shang Ping gathered usable wood with his people and soon built a square wooden house over thirty meters wide.
The stove was quickly set up inside the house, and Shang Ping led people to move over a hundred pieces of pitch-black coal stone from a small cave on the southern side of the valley, tossing them into the stove.
As the flames ignited, the wooden house immediately warmed up considerably.
