Seeing the chief leave after saying his piece, the village people discussed for a little while in the square, trying to mull over the events that had transpired that night, as well as imagining the future. Some people were discontent, and others were excited about this upcoming operation, but overall, although people might have grumbled about it, nobody went against the chief's decision.
Afterward, people began filing out in groups, some heading directly towards the west side of the plaza to grab a weapon, while others, those who weren't so able-bodied, left to go get some food first.
As soon as the meeting ended, Fu Hao Xin followed Aunty Wu out of the plaza, but at the intersection, he paused for a moment before turning to the west side to go get a weapon. Sensing his movement, Aunty Wu turned around and, stared at him, and said, "Where do you think you are going."
Staring Aunty Wu back in the eyes, Fu Hao Xin said, "To get a weapon."
