"Yes, that's the situation." Wang Erzhu agreed.
An Ping thought about it and decided it was okay. He brought along two helpers, just in case they had to carry something heavy, all the burden would fall on them.
"Okay. Let's go then."
The three of them left home, took a ride to town, and after swaying for an hour, they arrived in the city.
Getting off the bus, An Ping asked someone, "Where is the military compound located?"
"Which one are you talking about? We have two here, one in the east of the city and the other near the west."
An Ping didn't know whether it was in the east or the west, so he asked about both, "Just tell me."
The person gave An Ping both addresses and bus routes and then he simply set out to find them.
The three of them got on a public bus, first heading to the military compound in the east of the city. When the bus stopped, they still had to walk a few miles.
As noon was approaching, they found a small restaurant nearby to grab some food.
