The captain says that he has tried to escape from the capital, but that he will never return there. He asks if the captain is avoiding seeing anyone there, and the captain replies that he is not avoiding seeing someone. He says that if he tells the captain that he must go, he will ask the emperor to send an official letter to the county asking for him. The father asks the daughter how old she is, and she says that she is four years old, and that her uncle, the deputy of the county, looks just like her father.
