Countless of lives come into the world
Countless lives disappear
They come and go in an endless cycle
Why we come to this world?
Do you know it?
Mentor, you tell me
l don't know either
But it is said this world is a wondrous place
lt is said, they who know the truth are not equal to those who love it
And they who love it are not equal to those who delight in it
Like a road
You think it is the end
But it is the beginning of another
Chase! don't let it run away!
Go pick it up! Yes!
Take it back
Mo Ma! Put the boar down!
Get him! Yes!
Don't go...stop!
Where is he? l can't find him
You look over there, we look here Yes
He's here! Young Master, he is here!
Young Master, he got away!
Mo Ma!
Come and have a look...
Mom, be careful
Mom, it is getting cold
After we have sold the vegetables and have money
Let me buy you a quilted jacket for winter
l know you are a loving son
Song Ching, it is heavy, let me help you
A woman that can work hard is a good daughter-in-law
You are not yet married and you pamper her
You will spoil her
Mom, she is tired from carrying it for so long
lt is not heavy at all
Let me buy you a pair of embroidered shoes later
Since the fall of Yuan Shi-kai
The warlords have been at war
The Yin clique and the Chiu clique keep fighting all the time
l wonder who will win out
The Yin clique has suffered one defeat after another
Who can tell who will get the capital?
Whoever, l just want the wars to end
With the fighting going on
How can we do business?
You are right...
Fung-nin, what are you doing here?
lf only l can go to the capital
Staying in Choi Shek village
l will have no future at all
You mean it? Just kidding
Then let us go
Mama is waiting for us
Or she will scold you
Come and have a look
The greens are fresh
Have a look
Today is the market day
How come Mo Ma is still not here to change his catch for food?
lt is good that crazy Ma won't show up
Every time he shows up, there is trouble
He is a pest
He burnt down the granary when he was small
Mom, it probably was an accident
He probably had nothing to do with it
You were small, what do you know?
Some villagers saw him do it
The village had a famine that year
Mo Ma is a bane
Mom, you shouldn't have prejudice against him, actually...
You still take his side?
Fung-nin, give me a hand
You all listen!
From this market day on
Every transaction in Choi Shek village
Have to hand in half of the goods
Or profit, to Master Ning
What? Where is the law?
All the land in Choi Shek village belongs to Master Ning
We pay him rent every year
We can't make ends meet with what we've got
lndeed, now there is this transaction tax
Where is the law? lndeed...
Shut up! Law? What law?
Master Ning rules this village
What he says is law!
You say it and we have to pay?
What kind of law is this? No...
You all shut up!
Mo Ma is here
As usual, a boar for a bag of rice
But Steward Ho said you have to hand in half as tax
A boar for a bag of rice
You didn't hear me?
Master Ning has set up a new law
Every transaction has to be taxed
There is no exception!
A boar for a bag of rice
The half on the ground is tax
lf you want the full bag
Pick them up
What does he want?
Half a boar for half a bag of rice
Mo Ma, if Mentor leaves you What will happen to you?
Mentor, where are you going?
Don't leave me behind like Dad and Mom did
Mo Ma, l really don't know how to tell you
l don't want to hear it!
l have no Dad and Mom
l don't want to lose Mentor as well
lt is me
lt would kill a boar Not to say me Mai Fung-nin
You didn't you ask me why l am here?
l brought you half a bag of rice
lt was stepped on, l don't want it
No, l stole it from Master Ning's granary
Smart?
l am not a thief!
Hey...
l walked all they way carrying half a bag of rice
l am tired
Why don't you invite me in for some water?
To take my breath back
Hey, l wanted to ask you
l have known you for so long You have never asked me in
There are gold and jewelry inside?
Oh yes, what about this bag of rice?
You stole it, you take it back
l wish
But l suddenly have half a bag of rice
Mom will question it
Then she will know l stole it
Throw it away
Oh no...
The rice all gone, what a waste
l have twisted my foot as well
You have to invite me in this time
lt is not easy to be a good man
l risked myself for you
Now the rice is gone
And l have twisted my foot
Mom will give me a piece of her mind
l did it for you
Stealing from the Ning family
The Ning family!
lf Master Ning got me, l would be dead
l took such a great risk for you
You not only didn't take the rice
You didn't even say thank you
Can you just say something?
Song Ching, is dinner ready?
Almost, when this dish is done
Hurry up Yes
When Fung-nin is back he will say he is hungry
You are now very rich?
You fed the stray cat with our bun?
lf it was not fed it would die of hunger
l fed him from my portion
Such a dirty cat, you really
Kindness will be returned
You were kind and you took me in
l think you don't mind me taking the cat in
How come Fung-nin is not home yet?
He said he went to see Mo Ma
Mo Ma?
Mom, l am back
Fung-nin
What happened to you?
l twisted my foot
You crazy Ma, what have you done to my son?
Mom, he had nothing to do with it
l was careless only
Mo Ma is kind, he saw me back
Hey, since you are here
Stay for dinner
The dishes are not good enough for guests
You twisted your foot
Let me take you in and rub it with medicinal wine
Mom
Mo Ma!
Just go
Mo Ma
Don't you kill it!
Your foot all right now?
Song Ching has rubbed it with medicinal wine, it is fine now
That's good
l have bought mutton, it is tender You try it
Mama Mai
What about yourself?
l have my bun
You have worked so hard, you try it
She gave it to you, you just eat it
We don't have mutton all the time Have more
Mom
l should have asked Mo Ma to give us some boar meat
You really, Mo Ma is a savage
Why you went to see him?
He is crazy, he is a bane
You twisted your foot this time
Mom, l said Mo Ma had nothing to do with it
He is not a bad man
He just doesn't know how to get along with others
lf Mo Ma had a beautiful fiancee like l have Song Ching
He would be tamed
You just laugh me words off
lf you are still so unambitious
l will not let Song Ching marry you
Mom, you will
Have some mutton
Let great force strikes
Neutralize and repel
When great force strike Leverage and repel...
Mentor, l got a fish!
Ning Tin!
Ask Ning Tin to come out!
Mo Ma, what do you want?
Hand Ning Tin over!
You got off easy by having your house burnt down
You dare to stand up to the Ning family?
Come! Whoever gets him will be rewarded!
You are doomed this time
Come, beat him to death!
Dad, l am home!
Son!
Don't you come over!
Mo Ma, you take it easy!
Back off! Or l will kill him!
Back off...all back off!
You dare to come over, l will die with him!
Mo Ma, you can't get away!
You just surrender!
lt seems Mo Ma has said
Whoever gets in, he will die with Young Master Ning
lt has got out of hand
That Mo Ma is a savage
But he has the guts to stand up to Master Ning
Seeing Master Ming like this
We feel revenged Yes, revenged
Master, what should we do?
l hired you as steward
You have to deal with the troubles
Master, let us send a mediator in
We can say we will rebuild his house for him
And give him several horses
Just fool him into releasing Young Master
Once he is out of danger, we can...
Then who will go in?
All cowards!
Rubbish!
Ho Wing, you go in!
Me?
Master Ning
Excuse me
Let me go in
You?
ln Choi Shek village
Mo Ma only listens to me
Don't worry
l will persuade him to let Young Master Ning go
lf anything happens to my son...
lf anything happens to Young Master Ning
l will die a gruesome death!
l will never see my mom!
Master, he seems to be quite confident
All right, if you can make him let me son go
You will be rewarded
Yes, yes
Mo Ma, it is me, Fung-nin
l come as the mediator
Can l come in?
Don't you harm Young Master Ning
l am coming in
lt is just me alone You don't have to be scared
l am coming in
What are you doing here?
Take it easy, l come to help you
With what?
Right, l am not armed
l don't know martial arts
l can't harm you
You take this away first
Cut it out! don't think l won't kill you!
No! No!
l just want to tell you
Master Ning means to send in a mediator
That's me, to negotiate with you
Once you let Young Master Ning go
They will kill you
Why you want to help me?
Because l see you as a friend
Fung-nin is not back yet
l think he will be back when dinner is ready
He must be poking his nose around
He wants fun, but he won't cross the line
He still has not grown up
lt is about time he got married
Let me learn to be the man of the family
Song Ching, what so you think?
Mama Mai, you raised me up, you decide
We are not wealthy
The wedding has to be simple
Mama Mai, you decide
That's good
We have only this chicken left
lt can't be spared
We have to kill it
Fung-nin's mom, it is serious!
What is so serious?
Master Ning's son is taken hostage by that Crazy Ma in the temple!
What has it got to do with me?
Your son Fung-nin volunteered to be the mediator
He has gone into the temple!
Fung-nin? How is he now?
l don't know
When l left, he was still in the temple
Still in the temple? Oh no
He won't be able to come out again!
Oh no!
Buddha above, have mercy
Fung-nin has to be all right
What to do?
Mo Ma, if you don't let me son go
We will barge in
You will be killed too
You just go!
You have no reason to die with me
Who says you will die?
Let me take Ning Tin out and demand them to let you go
l will wait till you have gone far to get Ning Tin go
Before l had got far
We would have been killed
You have to take the gamble
Fung-nin
Who is it?
You all right?
How come you are here?
They let me in
lt is dangerous here, you know it?
l don't care what you are doing
l just don't want you go without food
l have brought you food
Who cares about food at such a time?
l just know you will die at any moment
lf you have no strength
How can you fight your way out?
l know nothing at all
l just know what we can't do anything with an empty stomach
l have killed our only chicken for the meal
l have not eaten the whole day
Then you dig in
Fung-nin's life is now in your hands
lf you have no strength to take care of yourself
How can you take care of him?
Actually l was an orphan
l used to have no roof over my head
l used to go hungry
l have learned one thing
When you have food you have to eat as much as you can
Because you don't know when your next meal is
But l was lucky
Mama Mai took me in and gave me a home
This home is everything to me
For this home, for this family
l will sacrifice anything
l will do anything
You...
You crazy Ma, you were such a fool to believe that woman
You had it coming
Song Ching!
You crazy Ma, you want to scare us?
Beat him up!
You crazy Ma, don't fake dath!
Wake him up and beat him again!
Run?
Why did you do it?
Mo Ma would think l betrayed him
Mo Ma had such a poor past
He has only me this friend
He trusted me
Why did you do it?
You just shut up
lf Song Ching had not done it
You would have died in the temple with that crazy Ma
There must be some other way You didn't have to do it
What's wrong with you?
You blame the one that saved you
You helped the one that put you in danger
Mo Ma had brought the village nothing but bad luck
Now that he is dead the curse is gone
He will not be our bane anymore
Fung-nin Fung-nin
Where are you going?
To claim his corpse, l can't even do that?
You all listen
lnform us if you have news of Mo Ma!
What happened?
He is now seriously injured
Hand him over and Master Ning will reward you
Whoever dares to hide him
lt means becoming Master Ning's enemy
You bear the consequence
Search house by house!
Yes, Steward!
Mo Ma is not dead, that's good
He is still alive? How come?
Oh no, you drugged him and almost killed him
Now that he is still alive
He will come back for revenge
Oh no, go block up the windows and the door
Fung-nin, give me the hammer
Fung-nin....
Mo Ma...
l...
How dared you...betray me!
Don't!
l didn't betray you
l didn't know Song Ching laced the food with drug
You still try to fool me?
l didn't, you have to believe me
lf l betrayed you
Why should l look for you?
lt should be people from the Ning family
Not me
We are friends, l will never betray you
You didn't, but your woman did
She did!
Don't you blame her
Song Ching was worried for my safety only
l know she has regretted it
You listen to me
Now that the Ning people are still looking
Let us run away
Run away? Where to?
Let us leave the village
l know you want revenge
But you listen to me
You are so seriously injured You can't fight them
Go into hiding for a while, all right?
Mo Ma, we will be fine once we pass this mountain
Don't move, people here
Halt! Where are you going?
l have collected a lot of straws
l mean to take them home
You are all sweat, it is that heavy?
Steward Ho, have you found Mo Ma?
You know it
l drugged him last time
l am worried he will come for revenge
Don't you worry
We will get him very soon
That's good
Fung-nin, don't just stand here
Mama is waiting for you
You don't want her scold you again
Right
You come with me and keep searching!
Yes!
Song Ching
l still want to collect more straws
l gotta go
Fung-nin
You be careful
l will wait for you at home
You have to come back in safety
Take it easy, be careful
Careful
We are far from Choi Shek village
We should be safe
Thank you
No thanks at all. We are friends
Oh yes, what have you in mind?
l want my revenge!
What? don't you do it
Ning Ngok is powerful here
Going for revenge means going to your death
Even if l am going to die
He will die with me!
Why bother?
l say now that we have left the place
We should go out to see the outside
We as partners, we may make our name!
Faster, or we cannot make it
We have walked for several days Let us take a break first
You want to get rich? Then bite the bullet
All right... Come on, let's go
Brothers, why are you in such a hurry? There is fortune to be made?
Right, we are going to be enlisted
To become soldiers?
Going to battle is dangerous
You have not heard of the saying? No risk, no gain
lf we win in battles
We will become officials and rich
Become officials?
Right, farming has no future
When we become officials
We can do whatever we want!
Come on!
lndeed, Mo Ma
We will have no future staying in the village
Fung-nin, you just said we should go to see the outside
Hey, let us join them
You want to become official and rich?
l join the army, not to become an official or rich
lt is for revenge!
You want to become an official and come back for revenge?
Right! Ning Ngok is powerful here
l will be more powerful than he is!
Though going to battles means gambling with our life
Staying in Choi Shek villages means always a loser
lf l can become an official
Mom and Song Ching will not go hungry
But l have only one life
You are afraid?
l am not even afraid of you
l have nothing to be afraid of
All right! Let us be partners!
We will make our name together!
General, we can't hold on any longer
Retreat! Retreat!
General
How is our casualty?
Very bad indeed
We have less than a hundred men left
Dad, will we be there soon?
lf it goes on, Mom and brother cannot hold on
Young Mistress, we will be met once we pass the mountain
Then we will be safe
General, let me ride over for liaison
Then go
You don't have to be worried
Help will come very soon
Who knew Yin Pak-to would end up this way?
Dad, you will make a come back
lf you lose heart, what will become of us?
You don't have to worry
Wong Sun will find us help
We will be fine
But...l am worried that Wong Sun...
l dare him to betray us
He will find us help
Don't cry...
Mom, how's brother?
He is fine
Tsui-kiu, help Mom carry your brother
Yes
Be a good boy...
Chi-kwai, run with your mother and brother!
Come on!
Dad, let us run together
You two take care of Lady and Young Mistress
Come on! Run! Run!
Master! Run!!
Master! dad!
Run!
Dad! Master!
You betrayed me!
Winner takes all
General, don't blame me!
Mom...
Young Mistress...
What now? We have been soldiers for so long
But all we have done are moving things or feeding horses
We have not been to battle yet
We may never have the chance to kill enemies and gain credits
And gain promotion and wealth
The chance will come
My gun will get rusty before it comes
Assembly!
You all come over here
Remnants of the Yin Clique are still at large!
We are going to get them
Take no prisoners! Yes...
Hey, come on!
l have to get my gun, you wait for me
Mo Ma, so many people
Wait for me
What is going on?
Young Master!
What? We have to kill women and babies?
Brother!
Mo Ma...
You all right?
Be quiet, we are saving you
Go! Go!
Give me your hand!
