In this out-of-the-way inn they meet by chance and the cups go gaily round. They feel regret that they haven t met earlier. However, each of them has reason to be on guard against the others. Sure enough, a merchant s luggage and Zhizi s money box are stolen. As the thief flees, Baqing turns up and a fight to the death begins between them.
