In the afternoon, a little after one, the train once again pulled into a small county town called Mishui, and then the broadcast and loudspeakers began to announce that there had been a collapse on the road ahead and the train could no longer proceed.
Everyone could either continue to wait on the train or get a refund for the proportion of the journey they couldn’t complete—it was here they could disembark.
After asking the train attendant for the exact location of the collapsed road section, Xue Liangliang judged that it would likely take one or two days to clear, so she led everyone off the train.

The exterior wall of the small restaurant had a slogan plastered on it: "Kill the road bandits without guilt, and get a reward!"
While eating, a person sitting alone heard Run Sheng’s accent, smiled, stood up, and inquired in Nantong dialect; as it turned out, they had encountered a fellow townsman.
