On the morning of the twenty-seventh, at the hour of the Chen, Wong Liang arrived with the horse-drawn carriage to pick them up. A few people and a dog climbed aboard, waving goodbye to Qian Sigui and his family as they set off towards the outskirts of the city.
After crossing the Guarding City River, the several carriages of Liang Jinzhao, Song Huaijin, Shopkeeper Cui, and others were already waiting there. Seeing them arrive, they called Qian Yixiu and her siblings along with Tiaotiao to sit in the front luxurious "Benz" carriage.
This carriage perhaps had some sort of shock-absorbing part installed; even when the horses galloped fast, it did not feel bumpy, but rather very comfortable.
Before sunset, the carriage entered Xishan County Town. After parting with Liang Jinzhao and the others, the little siblings returned to the carriage driven by Wong Liang. They hurried out of the city gate before it closed and drove westward.
