Seven Swords
Episode 12 Seven Swords
I don't want to fall in love.
I just can't do it.
Don't! Don't!
Green Pearl! Green Pearl!
Green Pearl!
Green Pearl.
Green Pearl!
Green Pearl is dead... And it's because of you!
Have you learnt anything from this?
You thought that you could save Green Pearl.
But you're worse than me. Worse than Duo Geduo.
We didn't cheat her.
We were honest from the beginning. It's only business and nothing else.
But you...
you wanted her to believe in love and she died for it!
Sincerity...
trust...
and honour.
Look what your principles lead to!
You cheated Green Pearl, but don't cheat yourself anymore!
Big brother.
Zhibang. You stay here with the children!
Swordsman Chu.
Green Pearl...
Let's go back to Mount Heaven.
Big brother! Where are you going?
Fire-wind was too reckless.
He disobeyed my orders and led his own troops to fight Chu Zhaonan.
Green Pearl is too much. Chaos follows her around.
Now Chu Zhaonan has the sword she has run away with him.
She makes my blood run cold.
Chu Zhaonan. I will defeat you!
I may not have captured your sword this time,
but I have set up a weakness in you with Green Pearl.
Sincerity, trust and honour.
Chu Zhaonan believes in these principles.
I will ruin them.
To let him know that those things don't exist in this world.
Once his heart is broken,
it will be easy to defeat him.
Your Highness is right.
Chu Zhaonan, you must know that I've paid a high price.
Rest assured, I will control the Dragon Sword!
Your Highness, I expect that the horses would have run away.
But the rain must have washed away their footprints.
General Nalan, order the troops to make a thorough search for them.
Yes Sir.
Your Highness.
Look Your Highness.
I found these seeds under the bridge.
I believe that they fell through the bridge...
when one of the bags was accidentally cut open.
I think that a groups of rebels must have fled down the river.
Good!
Send someone to search for them immediately!
I don't want any of them to live long enough to plant those seeds.
Yes Sir!
Teacher...
Why do weddings have to be so loud?
It's to let everybody know to come and give their blessing to the bride.
Why does everybody have to come and bless her?
Because it is very difficult for two people to live together.
That's why blessings are very important to them.
Teacher.
You grew up with Zhibang.
And you live with him now.
When Zhibang gives you the betrothal gifts,
we will bless you like they do.
We will bless you like they do.
Stop talking nonsense!
I didn't.
Stop it!
Zhibang and I are different.
When you grow up, you will understand.
Yufang, there are no soldiers in sight. We can hide here for the moment.
And they are delivering bride cakes to the temple.
We'll have something to eat soon.
All right. Let's go.
Be careful. Don't make any sound!
Come on.
Here.
Brother. Can I have some more?
Can you have some more?!
This is the bride cake.
It's for good fortune, and celebration.
One for every person, there's no need for more.
Don't take it then. - No.
Big brother. Don't be angry.
My brother spoke hastily.
I apologize on his behalf.
How about this?
We'll just take one each.
All right. Take this then.
What are you waiting for?
There are people waiting in line.
Go on!
Brother, look...
You have so many bride cakes.
But there are only a few people left.
Please give us some more.
Why are you causing trouble for me?
What is it?
Uncle Zhao. They've had one each but they want more.
Brothers, you don't look familiar to me.
Are you from out of town?
Today, my daughter is receiving betrothal gifts,
so we give bride cakes to the people to bring good fortune.
The two of you are young...
and healthy.
You don't look weak.
In fact you look strong.
Why do you keep asking for more?
You shouldn't beg.
You are a full grown man.
Why don't you make an effort to earn a living like other people?
You're useless!
I was asking.
So scold me.
But don't scold my brother!
Hwazhao!
Zhibang. Don't get upset.
The old man is right.
Sir, you have misjudged my brothers.
They are heroes.
They are very good men.
They asked for more on our behalf.
We haven't eaten anything for two days.
We are too weak to walk.
Sir, please give us some more!
Hwazhao. Get up!
Please sir. Please!
Masan... Give them some more.
Thank you sir.
Miss, please accept this basket of cakes.
Thank you.
Do you mind me asking...
what happened to your hometown?
Why have you brought all the children here?
There is a famine in my hometown.
We were supposed to head south.
We never thought we would encounter thieves.
We have been robbed.
We were lucky to escape with our lives.
These are troubled times.
True.
All right.
I can tell that...
you don't have a place to stay.
If you wish...
you can stay at our temple until you regain your strength.
You can live there for now.
Please don't go to any trouble!
Not at all.
Everyone encounters difficulties in life.
Follow me!
Look. The children's clothes are all wet.
I'll find some dry clothes for them.
Or else they'll get sick which would be terrible.
Stay here for the time being.
Later on, you can make plans to go south.
Master, we have done as you asked...
and given them clean, dry clothes.
All right. You may leave.
Master, I don't know if I should say this or not.
Are you suspicious...
about these people?
I've said too much.
I know what I'm doing.
Don't tell other people about them.
I understand.
Reward offered for information on the whereabouts of rebels formerly of Martial Village.
My clothes look very nice.
Mine are better.
No mine are.
Teacher.
You should go and change your clothes.
I'll stay here and look after them.
Swordsman Mu. Thank you.
My clothes look very nice.
Let me help you.
Swordsman Mu.
I know it was difficult for you...
to ask for food.
It's nothing.
Stop! Search him!
Stop there! - Don't move.
Swordsman Mu. Can I ask you something?
Why so mysterious? Ask away!
Who will you grow old with?
My master, I guess.
But since leaving the mountain,
I have no idea when I will go back there.
No!
I meant... a man and a woman...
just like the bride and groom next door.
I don't know. I haven't thought about it.
Think about it now.
How can I?
On Mount Heaven, there was just men. There were no women.
How do you feel about our teacher?
Hwazhao. Mantou. Come and help me!
Where is Panda and the others?
They are in the corridor.
Take these out to them!
Panda.
Xiaolan.
Xiaoxiaolan.
Go on!
What is the situation?
Captain.
We have searched the area by the river.
We haven't found any traces of an abandoned raft.
Have you looked everywhere?
Yes!
I swear on my life.
All right. If they haven't gone ashore,
then they must have fled down the river.
Look further downstream!
Men at their birth are naturally good.
Their natures are much the same; their habits become wildly different.
If there is no teaching, their nature will deteriorate.
Good teaching attaches importance to thoroughness.
Of old, Mencius' mother, chose a neighbourhood,
when her child would not learn, she broke the shuttle from her loom.
The seeds are wet, let's dry them.
If they sprout now,
then we won't have anything to plant next year.
Yufang. We can't stay here for long.
The soldiers will find us here.
I guess... we should leave tomorrow.
We'll head directly south.
All right. This place seems safe,
but I'm still worried.
And Uncle Zhao...
he doesn't know who we are.
But if he finds out...
Let's not think about it. We'll just leave as soon as possible.
Uncle Zhao has left some food for us.
How long will it last?
Maybe two or three days.
We can't keep asking for charity all time.
We could...
trade one bag of seeds for food.
No way!
The children have risked their lives for these seeds.
They didn't forget the seeds even when Xiaopi died.
How could you sell them now?
I understand.
I'll think of something else.
Where are you going?
Take care of my sword for me.
I can't take it with me.
Zhibang. I'll come with you.
There's no need Fourth Brother.
Please stay here and take care of Yufang and the children.
Be on your guard.
One bowl... Two bowls.
Uncle Zhao received the betrothal gifts today,
and has given us some noodles.
The noodles are very long.
They represent long life.
How about the eggs?
They are round, which represents coming together.
Does everybody have some?
Yes, we have.
What about Xiaopi?
Don't cry.
If teacher hears you,
she'll be upset.
Let's save this bowl of noodles for Xiaopi.
Xiaopi has not eaten eggs for a long time.
I can give him mine.
That will be enough for him.
Teacher, Zhibang will be all right.
I know.
Tell you what, I'll go and find him.
No need, Zhibang will be all right.
Let's go in and have dinner now.
What is it? Hwazhao?
I miss Xiaopi.
If Xiaopi knew that you missed him so much,
he would want you all to be brave.
Teacher, I scolded Xiaopi in the past. I was wrong.
Teacher! Teacher! - Panda!
Panda, don't die. Panda! - What's wrong?
What happened?
Panda. Panda, don't die!
Listen to me!
Hwazhao, have everybody eat their dinner.
Teacher.
I'll try to find some medicine.
Swordsman Mu!
Beware of fire!
Zhibang!
Fourth Brother, where are you going?
Panda has a fever. I must find some medicine for him.
We're closed. Come back tomorrow can't you.
No, the child at home has a fever.
Can't you just give me some medicine?
Give? You're not even asking to buy it?
No, brother, please don't misunderstand.
I will pay you for it tomorrow.
Ask me again tomorrow when you have the money.
Fourth Brother, you go back now. I'll think of something.
We don't have any money.
If we can't get free medicine, there's nothing we can do.
Go back to the temple. I'll think of something.
Zhibang!
- Let me go!
Zhibang, you can't do this! - Let me go!
Don't forget that we are swordsmen.
Swordsmen should act virtuously.
How can we turn to theft?
If Master Shadow-glow found out about this,
we would cease to be his apprentices.
I understand that.
But, it's more important to save lives.
I'll give them the money tomorrow.
Do you know which medicine to look for?
On Mount Heaven, I always picked the herbs myself.
Let me do it.
Zhibang. You went out today...
Yufang was worried about you.
I was fine.
I found work today.
I'll earn some money to buy food.
Panda is sick.
I think we'll have to stay here for a few more days.
I will go to work with you tomorrow.
There's no need.
It's better that I do it myself.
You have to stay and take care of Yufang and the children.
If the soldiers find us,
you have to be there.
Come on. Let's make up the medicine.
Teacher!
Zhibang and Mulang have come back with the medicine.
Yufang.
Medicine.
It's good that there is medicine.
Zhibang. Take care of Panda for me.
I'm going to make up the medicine.
All right. Go on.
So, where did you get the medicine?
Yufang, Panda's really sick.
Make the medicine up quickly. We'll talk about it later.
Swordsman Mu.
Where did you get the medicine?
Don't ask him!
This has nothing to do with him.
I stole the medicine from the drugstore.
Stole it?
Swordsman Mu. What happened?
I...
I told you not to ask him!
He tried to stop me but couldn't.
Hwazhao, take care of the children!
Zhibang, how can you say such things in front of the children?
It was you who kept on asking.
The kid is seriously sick.
His life is hanging by a thread.
I took some medicine and I'll pay them for it when I have some money.
You stole from others. How can you keep a straight face?
Zhibang, how can you be so foolish?
Look at us! How can we afford medicine?
Are we supposed to let the kid die?
It's the soldiers! The soldiers are here!
Panda!
Xiaopi! Xiaopi!
Teacher, am I going to die?
No, you aren't. Don't be scared.
It's going to be all right. I'm right here.
You will get well soon.
Zhibang and Swordsman Mu...
have brought some medicine back for you.
Teacher, I won't be so greedy anymore.
Panda!
Swordsman Mu!
Let him sleep for a while.
The medicine will be ready soon.
Zhibang... I'm sorry.
It's all right.
You've done nothing wrong.
Yufang was just too worried.
Don't blame Teacher Yufang.
She was right.
However,
if I let you take all the responsibilities, I...
Stop it!
You are a swordsman from Mount Heaven.
You are a hero.
The truth is...
we have made you follow us,
beg and even steal for us.
It's us who should apologize.
I shouldn't have involved you in what happened today.
Fourth Brother.
You have to maintain your reputation.
The Swordsmen from Mount Heaven must not become a laughing stock...
or have a bad reputation.
I may have received a sword from Master Shadow-glow,
but deep down I know...
that I am not...
a real swordsman compared to you.
That's why I can do what I did.
Zhibang... What are you talking about?
Since the day we came down from Mount Heaven,
we have been brothers.
The seven swords can never be separated.
We'll enjoy our fortunes together, and suffer together.
But today...
I let you take the responsibility alone.
I let you take the blame in front of Yufang and the children.
A man should know when to yield and when not.
It's all right.
I...
Let him take the medicine first.
Teacher, the medicine is very bitter. I don't want to drink it.
Good medicine is always bitter. Come on.
Drink it, and you will be cured.
Panda. Take the medicine! Hurry up!
It's not only you who's suffering.
Take the medicine and get well. Don't make us worry about you!
Teacher, let me feed him.
Panda... You have to be good from now on.
It was hard to get this medicine.
Teacher, Zhibang and Swordsman Mu,
have suffered a lot to find this medicine.
Teacher has to take care of you even though she doesn't feel well.
You don't want her to suffer either, do you?
Captain.
We're at the end of the river.
There is no road ahead.
What about the mountains?
It is too dangerous for ships to land on the shore.
They would die in the mountains even if they stayed on the shore.
Good. Check everything!
Continue the pursuit tomorrow morning!
Duo Geduo has instigated a thorough search for you.
Every route is being patrolled.
We'll go by the mountains to avoid the roads.
With these clothes, we can hide our identities.
Any other news?
I have searched everywhere, there are no traces or marks of the Red Spear Society.
However, a woodman said that he saw a raft on the river yesterday.
There were children on the raft.
Could they be Yufang and the children?
It must be them.
With so many children, they will expose themselves too easily.
We have to find them before the soldiers do.
We'll set off when the sun sets.
Yes Master!
Stop there!
Who are you?
What's in the cart?
I don't want to fall in love.
I just can't do it.
No!
