The villagers' voices become clearer once the rooftop is removed:
"Brother Zongxian, did the family head really send word that 'all is prepared, and the plan will succeed'?"
"Great! Father and sister's sacrifices have not been in vain. The debts of blood and justice owed to us by the bandits and the Song court will finally be repaid!"
—Revenge? What revenge? As you're wondering, they caution about the wanderer who has intruded earlier.
"Just in case, it's best to have Brother Zongxian hold the key over the next few days."
"Agreed. *coughs* I'll head back to the storeroom first. The others shall leave shortly on their own."
It's the same male voice you've heard earlier that day. Then, with the creak of doors opening and closing, the once boisterous gathering gradually falls silent.
