Dodo realizes that he is the only one in the room, and that the man surnamed "wu" is gone. Dodo thinks that he has asked the man to save him, but the man is too "sleezy" to do so. He tells his wife that he will listen to what she has to say, but he will not be fooled. He asks her to return the fruit that she offered him, and she tells him that they were forced to leave the capital when they first arrived. She asks him why he is asking her to go to "nanyang" instead of "ming" and "qing" , and he tells her that she has no choice but to marry him. He says that the Ming and the Qing dynasties are not places for him and her, and they should live there.
