The village chief, who urged them to give it their all, was already on his way to Hua Village.
So what's the current state of Hua Village? Actually, not much has changed. Apart from everyone in the village training even more diligently in martial arts, and the adults being a little bit tense, life was going on as usual. At the very least, it wasn't like outside where just hearing about the Beicang Tartars would cause a scene of panic and unease.
The children were just as carefree as before, completely unaffected.
Of course, that's what's on the surface. Behind the scenes, there was still some tension. At the very least, the iron workshop in the village was working around the clock. All the iron that could be gathered was sent to the forging house, and even Hua Yunao wasn't spending time with his wife and children anymore; instead, he was busy in the ironhouse alongside Master Hua Tie.
