However, Pei Zhao owed forty-nine spiritual coins, and if he didn't pay them before sunset, the Shunfeng would be towed away for dismantling. In order to deliver three boxes of life-saving medicine, he opened the seal and left the port, and retrieved an old announcement lamp in the fog that should have been extinguished long ago. What sounded mute to others, he heard two reverberations:
"There are seventeen more people on the south side."
"Don't turn out the lights."
