106 A Bone Piece

But there was a problem with the grain that was distributed recently.

The granary that stored the grain leaked at some point, and all the grain became moldy.

Although the grain was moldy, the village chief still ordered people to distribute it.

After all, people couldn't eat it, but livestock could.

That was where the problem was. After the villagers fed the moldy grain to their livestock, all of their livestock died.

Was it because of the mold?

No, it was because all the grain was poisoned.

If the grain was not moldy, then it would have been the entire village eating it.

Who was so vicious to want to kill an entire village?

The village chief thought that either there was a mole in the village or an outsider with evil intentions.

However, on the night when all the livestock died, a person was poisoned to death in the village.
