Jiang Dalang and his eldest son ran to open the door at the sound, indeed it was Shopkeeper Qiu. They quickly unlatched the door and led the donkey cart in.
Chou Rong also ran out of the house and saw that her parents and younger brother had come. Her heart was relieved as she helped her mother into the house, then she went to prepare two rooms for them.
Shopkeeper Qiu told his in-laws what he had seen, "Alas, I saw the city gate closed as soon as I left the city. Closing the city gates during the day means either an enemy invasion or an internal rebellion. My heart is still pounding. That was a close call!"
Fortunately, he had listened to his son-in-law and daughter's advice, otherwise he would have been trapped in the city, leaving him open to slaughter?
Hearing this, old man Jiang and Jiang Dalang's faces changed dramatically, they hastily went to call Jiang Sanlang to discuss a plan of action.
