After returning to the village, the villagers each went to their homes to start fires and prepare lunch.
Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan emerged from the haystacks and entered the village, pretending to ask for directions.
The villagers, seeing them, became very panicked.
The village chief approached them and pushed them outwards, "Don't say anything and leave quickly, otherwise when they arrive, you won't be able to leave."
Jiang Zhanglin hurriedly asked, "Old sir, who are 'they' that you're talking about?"
"Where did you just come from?"
"You tell us what the problem is, and we'll leave right away."
The village chief, distressed, said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but there's no time. Please, just go. If you really must ask us something, come back at night. Don't appear during the day. Go now."
