After recklessly breaking away from his companions, he is attacked by Kalmyk Khan Konurbay, his father's longtime enemy. Konurbay shoots at Semetey with an ochogor (heroic rifle). The wounded Semetey is found by his companions - a wise old man Bakai, who was formerly an adviser to Manas, and Semetey's vigilantes, his milk brothers, the sons of his father's vigilantes, Kanchoro (Hanchoro) and Kulchoro (Gulchoro). Bakai, seeing Semetey's threatening condition, stops Kulchoro, who is going to catch up with Konurbay and avenge Semetey. Bakai calls on Kulchoro to ride Surkoyen's fast-footed horse and immediately go back to Talas to visit Semetey's wife, Aichurek. He says that the bullet is stuck in Semetey's body and Aichurek needs to perform a stepping ceremony when his wife, whose loyalty is beyond doubt, steps over the wounded to get the bullet out of the body. At the same time, the vigilantes Semetey and Bakai decide that if Aichurek steps over Semetey, but the bullet does not come out, which indicates her infidelity, they will kill Aichurek by cutting her throat, and try to open it themselves with a knife Wound Semetey and get a bullet. Kulchoro, thanks to Surkoyen's playfulness, who literally flies across the sky, arrives in Talas in three days and three nights and tells Aichurek about the incident. Aichurek, shedding tears for her husband, turns into a white winch and flies to Semetey. Bakai, meanwhile, breaks a tent over exhausted Semethei, while Kanchoro, to alleviate his suffering, sucks black bad blood from the wound with cards, a special jar of cow's horn. When Aichurek arrives, he turns back into a person. Overjoyed, Bakai calls on her to immediately perform a stepping ceremony. Aychurek steps over Semetey twice, but the bullet doesn't come out.
