Episode 14
I'm afraid you will have to bear with this lodging for a few days.
It does not matter.
It's just I wonder where Fourth Master is.
Where will we find him?
Pei Lin is now in Qianping, monitoring military operations.
We will search for him there.
But the war rages on the front.
How are we going to get to Qianping?
The road has been cut off by the flames of the war.
I think it will be impossible to use them.
But this place is near the Qianping Hill.
There is a shortcut leading to the North.
The Yingzhou Army rarely goes through there.
That's great. Then, tomorrow morning
we'll head towards Qianping Hill?
We will set off tomorrow morning, traveling by a small path in the mountain.
We will follow this path for about five days.
If we reach Qianping Hill, we will be in a good situation.
It's just that...
What is it?
It is a rugged mountain trail.
There are not many houses.
For the following days, there may be problems with lodging and food.
Also there may be exhaustion from traveling.
I'm afraid you will have to endure a lot.
It's okay.
Mr. Cheng, because of me,
you have suffered. I would never complain.
It's not the same.
I have worked abroad many years as a physician.
Often I was called to rescue people from different places.
Eating wind for dinner and sleeping under the stars is common for me.
Miss Yin, you are different.
You are coming from a rich family.
The struggles you will go through in the following days are beyond your imagination.
Since it was my decision,
I will endure everything.
I am not afraid.
Good morning, Uncle!
Why did you wake up so early?
Good morning, Aunt.- Morning.
What family are you really from, Miss?
Will you go to the fields or to the market, Big Brother?- I...
Look, they are so well matched.
Dressed up like this, they really do look like a couple. Am I not right?
Yes, like a young couple.
Miss Yin, are you interested in plants?
It's my father's influence. He loves flowers and plants.
When I was little, my father would often make
a whistle from a leaf. It would produce a very pleasant sound.
Miss, are you tired? Should we rest a bit?
By reminiscing about such things, I feel for my family.
How worried they must had been when I fled.
Also, how bad will this affect their health.
Big decisions always come at a big price.
You should've understood that sooner, Miss.
Despite that, I think everything occurred naturally.
If that is the case, you shouldn't over think it.
If an opportunity arises,
you can explain everything to them.
You are right.
When everything settles down,
I will go back and explain everything.
I will ask for their forgiveness.
You are right.
After choosing the path, one should keep his eyes on the future.
What do you say?
I will soon see Fourth Master.
I am unbelievably happy.
Let's go.
Miss Yin, there is a structure ahead of us. Let's rest there.
Miss Yin, drink some water.
No need.
What happened? Did you injure your leg?
My legs are sore after climbing without a rest.
Maybe the muscles are slightly injured.
If it bothers you, I can massage them for you.
All right. I will not refuse.
All right.
Here? - Yes, here.
I saw you for the first time
while treating your wound.
Despite the tiredness and long distance, you made it through.
You are really tough.
Be honest. You took me for a spoiled girl and underestimated me?
I will not dare think that anymore!
Mr. Cheng, please don't call me Miss Yin all the time.
Calling me Jing Wan will suffice.
All right. Then instead of calling me Mr. Cheng,
Call me Xin Zhi, all right?
It's better. - Really?
Thank you.
Thank you for taking care of me on this trip.
It is really nothing, Miss Yin.
Still using Miss Yin?
I told you to call me Jing Wan.
As punishment, you must sing a song.
No. No. No. I don't know how to sing.
Liar! Everyone in the world knows how to sing.
You have to sing today.
I really don't know how to sing.
Let's be on our way. Let's continue on.
Sing along the way.
Let's leave.
Senior Fu, why have you stopped? Are you not going with me?
Master, are you really going to apologize?
I am afraid that at this difficult time you will be slandered and will lose respect.
How can I not lose my respect in such circumstances?
We have betrayed the trust of the Xu family.
All I can do is beg them them for forgiveness.
Yes, Master.
You came, Mr. Yin.
Our Master wants to see Master Xu.
Please wait here. I will inform him.
Master Yin, please sit down.
Thank you. It's very kind of you.
Where is everyone else?
Where have they gone?
Why is it so quiet here?
Master Yin, you do not know.
After returning yesterday, Master Xu locked himself in his room, refusing to eat or drink.
Madam, severely upset by this has fallen ill.
The other children are at their Grandmother's house.
Master Yin, please wait a bit. I will go inform Madam.
Master, you came especially here.
Jian Zhang will have to come out to meet you.
Jian Zhang.
Jian Zhang. Master Yin came.
He came to see you.
You have to come and see him.
Jian Zhang. Jian Zhang!
Despite what happened,
Master Yin is your elder.
We cannot be ungrateful.
We also can't be rude towards him.
Leave me alone!
I will not see him!
Master Yin, here.
Oh, Grandmother Xu. You...
I made you wait long.
How can I bother you, Grandmother?
Sit.
Grandmother Xu. Are you okay?
Even if we are not in-laws,
friendship still exists between the Xu and Yin families.
How could I not welcome you?
Grandmother Xu. I kindly beg you to go back and rest.
I simply want to talk with Jian Zhang.
I do not want to bother you.
Jian Zhang is less understanding.
I am unable to do anything.
But this incident
was really shocking.
Is Jian Zhang still refusing to come out of his room?
Our Yin family is unworthy of you.
No. It's Jian Zhang who was not given a choice.
You do not have to say that.
I don't know where to hide myself from all the shame.
Since this is the way it is,
I have nothing more to say.
Our Yin family
teaches its children with compassion.
I never thought
my daughter would be unfaithful to our principles.
Grandmother Xu.
Our family is not worthy of yours.
Please accept my apology.
What are you doing? I cannot stand it.
Quickly get up, Master Yin
I know that you suffered great humiliation because of our family.
In fact my apologies are worthless.
I am not worried about myself.
I am just worried that my grandson, Jian Zhang
will not be able to overcome this shock.
That he will be discouraged (to live on).
Without his support, our Xu family
will surely face ruin.
- Grandmother Xu!- Senior Madam!
Senior Madam!
Take her to rest in her room.
Here you are. You head upstairs and turn right. The two rooms at the end of the hallway are yours.
It's bad! It's bad!
A woman is going into labour. Her water broke.
Boss, call a midwife for her!
The only midwife is 10 leagues (about 10 hours) from here.
The local midwife left last night to visit her daughter in Xiaofang.
Then... when what will we do?
Boss, then call a doctor.
Where would I find a doctor in such a place? They are not too often here.
What should we do?
We are all men. What should we do?
Do not worry. I am a doctor.
Great! What a relief! Go and see her!
Yes!- Where is she?
I will take you to her. This way!
Follow me!- Let's go.
She is in the room upstairs.
Jing Wan, come and help me.
Hold on.
Step aside. Don't worry. I am a doctor.
She is not in a good condition. I need to prepare for an operation.
Give me it.
Jing Wan, look for scissors and desinfect them.
Scissors?
There at this side. Hurry up.

Relax.
Relax. Don't be nervous.
Is there a clean sheet?
All right, I will look for one.
Doctor, here it is.
I have to make strips from it. Can you tear it into smaller pieces?
All right.
Take deep breaths. Don't be nervous.
Relax.
Don't be nervous.
- Take it. - All right.
Don't be afraid.
The doctor is here. Nothing will happen.
Don't be afraid.
Chaos is everywhere because of the war.
Why did she come here anyway?
The woman came to look for her husband.
Several days have gone by by she has not even seen a shadow of him.
It appears the others in the room come from a wealthy family.
Right.
You will find the hot water in the kitchen downstairs.
How is it?
It is a difficult childbirth.
The doctor said he might be able to save only one of them. The mother or the child.
Look at that!
I brought the hot water.
Wait a little bit.
I am dying.
I am gravely sick.
When I got pregnant with this baby,
I knew I was risking my life.
You'll be safe and sound.
The doctor is there. Do not be afraid.
I beg you.
You need to save this child.
I promised my husband
I will bear his child.
I want to give birth to the baby
even at if means risking my life.
The most important thing is that you stay alive.
No. The most important thing for me is to give birth to this baby.
Madam, think positively. You should enjoy your life.
You can have another child.
My husband died on the battlefield.
This baby is the flesh of his flesh.
I have to keep his offspring alive at all costs.
I promised to
give birth to his baby
Even at the risk of my own life.
At any cost.
You are really foolish!
No.
I am happy.
I will see him (husband)very soon.
When I see him,
I will tell him
that I bore him a child.
He will be really happy.
Xin Zhi, promise her.
Jing Wan,
what do you mean?
For this woman,
love is the main thing in her life.
We need to fulfill
her request.
It is here? - Yes.
Descend!
We're going in!
Let me hold the baby.
Baby, don't cry.
Don't cry, my baby.
Be wise. Stop crying, baby, all right?
Come.
Don't cry.
Be quiet, all right?
All right, don't cry.
You are...
She's my sister-in-law.
My little nephew,
I arrived too late.
I could not save your mother.
Give him to me.
I'm sorry. We did all that we could.
I know.
My sister-in-law was gravely ill.
It is all thanks to you.
In the end,
we were able to grant her final wish.
To let her die and save the child.
It was not easy for her to keep this baby.
On behalf of my younger brother,
I am really thankful for your efforts.
There is no need for it.
This child's father
was my brother in arms.
But a short time ago,
he died on the battlefield.
Still heavens were merciful.
Finally, there is a family descendant.
Don't worry, child.
I will do everything in my power
to raise you in a way that will make your parents' proud.
Take care of yourself.
You as well.
As a doctor I want to save every life.
Unfortunately, medicine has its limits.
In the end, we were faced with a dilemma.
What dilemma?
Any choice can be regrettable and unreasonable.
Jing Wan, you did well.
Thank you for making the decision for me last night.
Don't thank me.
I only witnessed a great love.
They could not live together
in this lifetime.
Yet their love was greater than life and death.
This baby
is the result
of his parents love.
It will not go away.

Senior Madam, please drink a sip.- I won't drink. I won't.
Just a little bit otherwise you won't recover.
Leave it here.
I have drank enough.
Jian Zhang!
Grandmother, relax.
You finally came out of your room.
Do you know how much I worried about you?
I lack in filial piety (respect towards one's parent) towards you.
You are ill because of your worries.
No, it is my fault.
I knew how hard it was for you.
Although, I saw you plagued with sadness,
I didn't know what to do.
Grandmother.
Have some more. Finish your tea, all right?
I really can't drink any more.
Just one more spoon, for your Grandson's sake.
Go.
Go and bring a meal for Young Master.- Yes.
Jian Zhang.
How long has it been since you've eaten?
When the meal is served,
you should eat before me.
When you finish your meal,
I will finish my tea.
I promise, Grandmother
You are a wise man.
Then finish your tea, Grandmother.
Master. Master.
Master!
It is you, Mr. Lao.
Master, during the last few days, I visited all our former customers, one by one.
What did they say?- They were all very kind.
They said they would not forget their long-time friendship with the Xu family.
But then they said that they entrusted their goods to someone else.
They would discuss our offer with us next time.
Master. Grandmother is becoming more and more sick.
We must do something.
Maybe we should bring in a foreign doctor for a consultation?
That might be useful.
Then do that.
But...Master...
But what?
Foreign doctor's consultation fees are very expensive.
We do not have a lot of means to pay.
There are still antiques and paintings left.
We will sell some of them for this pressing matter.
There is no other way.
Young Master. I will handle it
Look out! Careful.
Xin Zhi, we are going in circles.
How come we keep passing the same trees?
Jing Wan, we are lost.
We need to wait for sunrise to get out of here.
It's dangerous to spend the night in the mountains.
Why is it be dangerous?
What is it?
Wolves!
Run!
Xin Zhi, I can't run anymore.
Run faster, Jing Wan. Faster!
Run faster! Lay down!
Who is there?! Stop!
It's all right , Jing Wan.
Are you okay?- Yes, I am okay.
I am sorry but you have to come with us.
All right.
Good! Aim!
Load the rifles! - Jin Zhi why were we arrested?
Don't be afraid. I don't know the reason yet.
Don't show them their fear. Understand?
We need to hide our identity.
We cannot reveal our identity to the Yingzhou Army.
Try to relax.
Reporting to Commander. The prisoners are here.
Let them enter.
Commander invites you in.
Ease down!
Attention!
Ease down!
What? Do you not recognize me anymore?
I went through a lot of trouble to find both of you.
Commander, do you have any instructions for us?
You are my supporters.
How can I give you instructions?
Sine we separated in haste,
I didn't have time to express my thanks to you.
You disappeared from the place very quickly.
I had to send my men to look for you.
Please forgive me for scaring you.
You are too kind, Commander.
Saving the dying and healing the sick is every doctor's duty.
I admire you as a doctor who stays loyal to his duties.
What is your name, doctor?
My name is Cheng.
This is my wife.
Doctor Cheng. Madam Cheng.
If you don't mind
I would like to invite you to stay here for a while.
This way I will be able to offer you a warm reception
in name of my brother and his wife.
Thank you, Commander but we are in the hurry to leave.
We do not have time to stay. Can you forgive us?
There is nothing here but marching armies.
Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Commander, it's because
our two relatives who live in Pehnix are very sick.
That is why we cannot delay too much on our way there. I hope Commander will understand.
All right. I will not push you anymore.
Then, how about this?
Since you are traveling, you should rest here for the night.
You will stay here for the night to rest.
Tomorrow I will organise a banquet in your name.
Will that be all right with you? - Well...
No more excuses. There is chaos everywhere and the war is raging.
If you want to leave tomorrow,
I will send the guards with you.
This will make me more at ease.
Thank you for your kindness, Commander
but please do not trouble yourself.
It is no trouble at all.
You are my supporters and friends.
Therefore, you must allow me to give respect and show my gratitude accordingly.
In this case, accept my offer gracefully rather than rejecting it.
Then...
Then we will graciously accept your offer.
Very well.
Bearer! - Listening!
Prepare lodging for my guests of honour.
Doctor Cheng. Madam Cheng.
Come in.
Commander ordered me to bring you these fruits.
These are freshly dried blankets. Please take it.- Oh, thank you.
All right. Rest well. I am taking my leave.
Jing Wan, take the bed tonight.
I will sleep on the chair.
The chair is too narrow to sleep on.
It's nothing. I am used to this kind of life.
It is not important.
Jing Wan, I was thinking.
Commander Yu is hospitable,
nevertheless he is from the Yingzhou Army.
We cannot stay long here.
I think we should leave tomorrow morning.
I think so too.
Xin Zhi, the chair is too narrow to sleep well.
As we need all our strength tomorrow,
you need to be in the best shape.
Just sleep in the bed.
No need. It's nothing.
If you remain there,
the soldiers will be curious.
They will suspect something, am I right?
If you do not come to bed, I will not sleep either.
Xin Zhi.
Surveillance is very tight here. How are we going to run away?
I am not sure either.
We can only look for an opportunity.
Jing Wan, you're afraid?
Love knows no fear.
It is a verse from the Bible.
Do you know it as well?
Pei Lin was lucky
to have met you.
Aim well.
Steady your arm.
Guard your back!
I am talking to you!
Let's go.
Again, aim for 50.
Big Brother, we want to go pick some medicinal plants on the back slope.
Can you let us out?
You are our Commander's guest. You may leave.
Thank you.
Don't mention it. - Let's go.
All right!
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @Viki
Faster! We will be discovered!
Jing Wan, are you all right?
It's nothing. Just a small scratch.
Let's go quickly.
It seems Hejiapu is ahead of us.
After crossing the summit, we'll arrive in Qianping Hill.
All right, let's go.
Jing Wan, it is too dark to continue our journey.
Let's look for a place to hide.
It's too dark. Where shall we go?
There should be a small temple that way. Let's check it out.
All right. - Let's go.
There's nobody.
Maybe it is an abandoned cabin.
Jing Wan, let's spend the night here.
We'll continue on the path tomorrow.- All right.
Is everything all right?
Jing Wan, sit down.
It's cold here. I'll make a fire.- All right.
Xin Zhi, what's the matter?
The situation here is unknown.
Starting a fire might attract others.
Then don't do it. I am not that cold, really.
