When everyone was sure that most of the villagers had arrived, the village chief began to talk about the main topic.
True enough, he was talking about fleeing the famine.
The village chief, who had previously vowed that he wouldn't flee, changed his attitude this time.
It was said that many of the surrounding villages had the idea of fleeing. Now, he wanted to ask for the opinions of the villagers and see what they thought.
"What thoughts can we have? Let's go! There's nothing to look forward to if we stay!" someone voiced out.
"That's right! We have almost consumed all the food at home. Notwithstanding the fact it is not easy to buy grain in town, it is also extremely expensive! They are clearly not giving us a way out!" someone else said.
"There's also the well in our village. The amount of water it is discharging has become less. If this goes on, with so many households in our Brook Falls Village, I'm afraid that we will die of thirst!"
