[xi-] Xena is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where she is cleaning an old vintage 舟 boat that somebody just sold her that sits in the middle of the pawn shop. Unfortunately the 舷 side of the ship is infested with 玄 caterpillar, so Xena uses a sword to try to kill all of the 玄 caterpillars on the 舷 side of the ship.
