It could not be helped. Maple Ridge was a famous bandit's nest back then. The bandits were like rats. Not only did they dig the entire mountain full of holes, but they also opened up fragmented fields in a slightly flat place on the mountain.
In order to make it easier to take care of these fields, they built various simple stone houses and wooden sheds near the fields.
After so many years, the fields opened by the bandits had returned to the forest, but the ugly stone houses in groups of three to five still existed, and they were everywhere in the mountain.
Maple Ridge itself was a stone mountain. There was rubble everywhere. After so many years of wind and rain, those stone houses were already covered in moss and mixed with the surrounding rubble. They might not even be able to distinguish accurately during the day, let alone at night.
