In this short scene, Mr. Long's grandson, Longnanxio, explains to his grandfather that he has recorded every word that his uncle and aunt have said in order to make them lose all their reputation. He also explains that his name is Long, which means "inner self" in Chinese, and that one year ago, he was able to see through the inner self of his brother, uncle, and aunt. He tells Longzhou that his parents are dead, while his aunt and uncle are "despicable human beings." He also mentions that an archeologist friend gave him a ring, which is said to protect the wearer from the elements. Longzhou tells his grandfather to put the ring on for him, and he is worried that his grandson has passed out.
