The Ground was still cover'd with Snow, tho' not so deep and dangerous as on the Mountains, and the ravenous Creatures, as we heard afterwards, were come down into the Forest and plain Country, press'd by Hunger to seek for Food; and had done a great deal of Mischief in the Villages, where they surpriz'd the Country People, kill'd a great many of their Sheep and Horses, and some People too. 去书内

    This excerpt effectively sets the scene and heightens the sense of danger and unease. The description of the snow-covered ground provides a backdrop that both hints at the harshness of the environment and serves as a reason for the animals' descent. The mention of "ravenous creatures" immediately creates a threat. The details of their actions in the villages, preying on livestock and even people, paint a vivid picture of the chaos and destruction they cause. It not only showcases the external conflict but also implies the vulnerability of the local inhabitants, drawing the reader deeper into the world of the story and the challenges the characters face.
