While everyone was diligently farming, many exiles noticed something unusual about the crops in the fields.
Their vegetables were being visited by wild animals!
Though the cabbages in the fields didn't look great and tasted bad, being dry and hard to eat,
it was still their own cabbage!
The cabbages they had worked so hard to grow.
With cabbages, they had hope, they could survive.
They were weak and didn't know how to hunt.
If even the cabbages were eaten up by pigs, what hope was left for their lives?
Some people even suspected human involvement, as people these days...
When starved, would eat anything and could disguise as wild animals.
So, some people guarding their crops squatted quietly by the fields, waiting for the "culprit" to fall into their trap.
But when the "culprit" came, they didn't dare act.
It was a wild boar.
Several wild boars, each strong and hefty, looking truly terrifying.
If it was squirrels or birds, everyone could still try to chase them away.
