The local snake told Ma Zi, the short winter melon, that they would leave from the west tonight. The short winter melon, Ma Zi, couldn't be happier; he just wanted to get out of this place as quickly as possible. He definitely didn't want to end up like those people from Lion Head Island.
At this moment, everything seemed to be ready.
The local snake said to Ma Zi, "We need to head to the sea exit in groups. You know how critical the times are. If we all go together, so many people will undoubtedly draw attention."
Ma Zi felt there was some sense in what he said. It would definitely draw attention if hundreds of people gathered at the western dock. He replied, "Alright, don't worry. I'll go ahead and check things out. Once I make sure it's safe, you guys can come over."
The local snake agreed with Ma Zi's suggestion, adding, "Of course, but we'll have to wait until after dark to make our move."
