It had gone completely dark, the patrolling guards carrying guns walked back and forth on the streets. Although not everyone was armed, having a few armed members in a squad was enough. As soon as the guns were drawn, no one dared to make a move.
Tan Rou and Shang Jin were sitting in front of a window, looking out through the small window. A squad of guards had just passed by, consisting of six people, two of whom carried guns, marching one in front of the other.
Only after the guards had gone far did Shang Jin say to Tan Rou, "When I got up to go to the bathroom last night, I thought the people of Country J were highly civilized, because it was so quiet at night. I didn't realize it was because they simply didn't dare to go out."
Tan Rou said, "From now on, we need to be careful. Never go out after 8:30 pm. I've asked around, and there is a curfew from 8:30 pm to 5:30 am the next morning. If we get caught during that time, it would be very troublesome."
