Lan Qingqing is a wandering artist who spends his days performing for wealthy men. He was too careless and thought he could make more money by working for a rich man. If he hadn't been saved by his fellow performers, he would have been taken back to the brothel. He apologizes and says he'll leave quietly as soon as danger passes. The lieutenant is upset that he was the one who rescued the girl, but he says that he's the one sleeping in the store room. He says that the girl is lying and that if they keep her there, she'll attract attention from the men. Lan asks if they can have a drink of wine during their break time. He wants to learn how to hold his stance properly. He's scared of breaking his bow.
