Balsa clarifies rumors about her past to Chagum and Tanda while buying medicinal herbs. She purchases a watermill in a village to hide with Chagum until next spring. To earn money and pass the time, they grind grain for local villagers. Balsa assures Chagum that he should not worry about finances because she will provide for him. Tanda observes how Balsa treats Chagum as her child during their stop at the shop. The group uses the watermill to support themselves while remaining hidden from those who might seek them out. This arrangement allows Balsa and Chagum to stay in the village safely until the arrival of spring.
