Unlike the remoteness of Hua Village, around Wang Village, there are several nearby villages not too far away. In the past, a normal walk would take at most the time of a cup of tea; now, even at the slowest pace, it wouldn't take more than an hour.
But that's where their concern lies. Not everyone has prepared as adequately as their village. There's no need to worry about food; what they are most concerned about is water.
Whether it's a lack of food or a lack of water, neither is easy to cope with.
Especially when the men who went out yesterday to check the situation returned with news that made the whole village feel faintly uneasy.
Although the village chief said yesterday to wait and see, Wang Datian and a few men from the village couldn't shake off their anxiety. As soon as the temperature dropped, they hurried over to the village chief.
Village Chief Wang looked at the men at the door, opened the door completely, and said, "Come in."
