The next morning, Mings wakes up. He's worried about what's going on with Lubys, but he doesn't want to tell anyone. He tells Mings to go to the mountains to help wang kill the enemy. Mings says that the enemy is also in the mountains, so they don't have to worry about her anymore. He also says that they can go there to support wang, even if it means that they have to kill Mings and Mings's wife. He says that he's just trying to teach Mings a lesson: he respects the dead.
