A'cheng hangs himself in prison. Brother Fang finds out about it and rescues him. He wants to see the two of them. Fang tells him that he's "born slutty" and wants to die rather than look at the "ugly bandits" . He also wants to know what's up with the "slutty" a'tang. He says that he doesn't want to die, but he wants to be " soothed by the a'cheng" , and that's what he'd like to see. He's also worried that the chief won't believe in such nonsense. Fang says that a'tong is "losing all his confidence" because of the "chief" and that if he were a normal man, he would choose to leave. He asks why the chief didn't act differently from his prediction, and says that it's because he was curious about how they'd do it.
