Episode 029
Are you angry?
Why aren't you happy about me cutting trees to build a boat?
Anigu! Listen carefully.
I don't need you to pay me money and build me a boat. If you really want to leave that badly, you can leave now.
And I teared up all those loan agreements. Are you happy now?
Look at you, you're definitely angry.
I never said I wanted to leave.
Then... Then why are you in such a hurry to build a boat?
I was thinking if I can build a boat, then we don't need to find my family in rush to pay you.
This way, I don't have to leave.
Just like you said, we can be together on the boat together fishing.
I'll do calculations, and we can have a boy and a girl.
That way, we can forever be together.
As I get older, my health is been getting worse.
Right now, the only one that's left in the house is only my daughter.
She's just like her dad, teaching at Ning Zhou University.
She's very busy and yet, she needs to attend classes and do research.
Anyways, there's a bundle of things to do, leaving early and returning home late.
As for me, I just want to help her.
Cook everyday for her so she's able to return home to my cooking.
I'm afraid I won't be able to do it anymore.
Miss,
what's wrong?
Sorry, aunty.
I've suddenly thought of one of my colleague.
I feel that you should still tell them about you condition.
As it's a severe illness.
As long as you're healthy, they'll be able to live peacefully.
Right?
You have such a kind heart.
Hey, I'm not finished yet.
Where are we going?
Don't ask so much.
You saw what I just did, right? It's your turn now.
I don't want to learn how to use a gun, nor do I want to learn how to kill.
Sometimes firing a gun is not because you want to kill, but instead to protect oneself.
You must remember, I won't be always there to protect you.
What if... one day I'm not by your side.
You must learn how to protect yourself, so, you need to learn how to fire a gun.
Do it again.
No, I can't. I'm not good at it.
Then learn it till you're good at it
Commence!
Hurry up and go!
Let go of me!
Be careful!
When Jinzhen was still here,
the first thing he would do everyday after school was come to me and say his greetings.
Then he would accompany me. He was so well mannered.
I still remember, when he was around seven to eight,
he struggled to even speak a proper sentence.
Many people said he was an idiot, and that he only knew how to solve mathematical problems.
Whatever he said, no one could understand.
But its so strange. Whatever he said, I could understand all of it.
This may be a mother and child connection that we had.
What worries me the most,
is Jinzhen.
What a pity that he's so far away from home.
Everyday I just want to see him,
and look after him,
but I'm not able to.
Miss, how old are you?
I'm twenty-three.
Do you have a boyfriend yet?
Do you?
That's great.
That's great...
Twenty-three... the year of the rabbit.
My Jinzhen was born in the year of the sheep. Sheep and rabbits...
What a perfect match!
Miss, if my Jinzhen was at home, no matter what I won't let you leave.
No matter what, I would have to introduce you both to each other.
I'm telling you, my Jinzhen is defiantly not stupid, he's very intelligent!
He not only good at mathematics,
but most importantly he knows how to care for others.
Madam, I'm very happy that I was able to have this conversation with you.
It's a pleasure to know you.
However... I need to leave now.
I welcome you to come again.
I wish you all the best, and look after yourself.
Thank you.
Please let him know that everything is fine.
The jade bangle that you're wearing right now is what my mother gave me when I got married.
I gave it to Jinzhen
so that he could give it to my future daughter-in-law.
The job you do has regulations,
and you're not allowed to say anything.
Please tell him,
I will look after myself.
And I beg you,
please help me look after him.
You went for a while.
What's wrong?
What happened?
Nothing.
How's madam's health?
All good.
You're here? -Yes.
Hey. -Good morning.
Morning. -Morning.
Boss.
- Did you find anything? - Yes.
The woman's name is Yilansuoya.
The daughter of our former chief, Ji Mu Yue Da.
But after her father was killed by the bandits, she was kicked out of the village by the current chiefs.
Okay, enough. I'm not interested in your village's affairs.
I just want to know if she has any other hideouts. Other than the old lady who is deaf and mute,
does she have anyone else to go to?
This I also asked about,
but it took my a lot of effort to find out.
Our chief never let us talk about her.
Continue.
I heard Jimuyueda loved Yilansuola very much.
He was afraid the bandits would seak revenge on his daughter, so before he went to the bandits,
he found a safe hideout in the mountain over there.
He also built a house by himself,
and said it was for hiding in the future.
Do you know that place?
How can I know this? Jimuyueda was very clever.
To protect his daughter,
he kept it a secret to all the villagers.
He only brought three relatives when he was building the house.
The others weren't allowed to follow him.
Does is mean that there are three person who know that place?
Yes, the first person was the old housekeeper of Jimuyueda's house, La Ma.
The second person was the old servant of the house, Old Lady Mi,
but these two people are no longer in the village.
How about the third person?
This third person, is our current chief.
Back then, he was only a shaman in the village. He wanted to remove the source of troubles,
so he said to leave Yilansuoya in the river to worship the River God.
In the end, Old Lady Mi brought Yilansuoya out of the village secretly.
Many years after this,
even though he's the chief now, Yilansuoya
is still his problem.
So when he heard someone was chasing Yilansuoya,
he gave me the location without thinking.
Thank you. Thank you, boss.
Anigu.
You are my Anigu if I say so.
Anigu.
Only my Anigu can eat my food and wear my clothes.
Anigu.

Like the sun, like the sunshine, warm and cozy.
Shen Yue! Shen Yue Shen Yue!
Anigu. Anigu.
Anigu.-Shen Yue!
Shen Yu, hurry up and come over here!
Hurry! Over here!
I'm coming!
What is it?
I'm about to figure out the Purple Code!
Shen Yue, I finally understand the Purple Code.
I know where I went wrong.
It's not me that's at fault, it's the time.
You must believe me, this time I will definitely figure out the Purple Code.
Here, let's celebrate and congratulate you for nearly figuring out Purple Code.
Cheers.
Drink slower.
Hey, I've got something for you.
Here.
What is this?
Open and have a look.
These are all the sheets of paper you worked on solving,
I thought they were very important. But I was going to tidy it in order;
however, I couldn't understand your alien language.
So I've assembled it like this for you.
I wrote that much? Thanks to you for keeping it safe for me.
Why? Is it not useful?
Then I'll go cook it. -Hey don't!
It's useful. It's so pretty, don't burn it.
I'm going to head to town tomorrow, so you better look after yourself.
Why are you going to town?
To buy food and grains.
We can't just have nuts and fish everyday, do you want to become a monkey?
We're not able to anyways, monkeys don't eat fish.
But we need to buy wine. I can live without food but
I can't live without wine. This is the last bottle.
Either you let me drink, or I'll become a monkey.
Then you're not even close to being a monkey. Monkeys don't drink.
That's great, you've learnt how to talk back now. If I feed you for another two days you'll really become a monkey.
Hey, you said it wrong again.
Monkeys don't know how to talk back, even if they did you won't be able to understand it.
You're still talking back, I'm going to hit you.
Thank you, for being so nice to me.
What's the taste?
It's sweet.
Like the breeze from the mountains.
Do you like me?
I'm asking you, do you like me?
Say it.
I do.
Just then when I asked you why didn't you respond?
You just called me Anigu, didn't you say you were going to call me Rong Jinhen?
That's right, that's in the future.
Right here, right now, you're Anigu, not Rong Jinzhen.
Whatever you call me, I'll be it.
Anigu. -Hey!
I want you to promise me something.
You have to forever remember
the image of me wearing the yellow dress.
You have to forever remember the kiss I had with you as sweet.
In the future, no matter where you are,
no matter who you're with,
or who you're going to have children with, or who you're going to grow old together.
No matter if I'm going to be beside you,
no matter if we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
As long as someone asks you who you like the most,
you must always say it's me.
It's me, Shen Yue.
Promise me.
I promise you.
Thank you.
I have a question to ask you.
What does Anigu mean?
Take a guess.

Until the end, Shen Yue never told me what "Anigu" meant.
Afterwards I asked someone who especially studied the language in the tribe,
and I finally understood that Shen Yue had already given me the answer.
Because the meaning behind Anigu means 'I love you."

In the future, no matter where you are.
No matter who you're with, or if I'm beside you.
No matter if we are separated by thousands of mountains. As long as someone asks you,
who you like the most.

That night, I slept very well.
I dreamt many dreams.
The Shen Yu that I dreamt of,
she was wearing the yellow dress that I gave her, at the riverside she walked towards me with a smile on her face.
She walked closer and closer towards me.
She kept on walking till we faced each other, and at that moment when she was beside me,
She suddenly left
From then on, the things that happened between us felt like it never occurred.
She then disappeared from my side.
It has become a longing memory of mine.
♫ You are the hardest riddle to solve ♫
I wanted to keep this woman called Shen Yue with all my might,
her voice, and her appearance.
Hence I've drawn many portraits of her.
Sadly,
in my mind her appearance,
has slowly become blurry.

When I woke up from my dream, Shen Yu has really left me.
Just like she has never appeared before.
But, she left some food, clothing
and a hand gun. Right in front of me, right in my hands.
From that morning onwards,
I've found the key, the key to time.
I'm fully aware that in order to break the Purple Code there's only one way.
♫ Love is the answer ♫
♫ The answer to everything ♫
Where did you get the ID permit of Comrade Cao Minghua?
You come to report and refuse to tell your name.
Where do you live? Where do you work?
What is your identity? This won't work.
My name is Shen Yue.
Miss Shen Yue,
can you tell us what's going on?
I want to see 701's leader.
Do you know what unit is 701?
Why do you want to meet people from 701?
I know the whereabouts of Rong Jinzhen. He's alive.
I am Lei Ting.
There's news of where Rong Jinzhen is.
What did you say? There's news of Rong Jinzhen?
That's right, there's a woman named Shen Yue who reported it to us.
She said she must meet with the people in 701 in order to tell us Rong Jinzhen's whereabouts.
Okay, I will ask Zhao Qirong and Han Bing
to go there first, and I'll come afterwards.
Drink up.
Is it Miss Shen Yue? Nice to meet you.
I'm the head at this police station. My name is Liu.
I've already sent your request to 701.
Within 10 minutes they'll arrive.
Thank you.
Can you tell me now where Rong Jinzhen is?
All the police force in Ning Zhou are looking for him.
We are very anxious.
Is his surroundings very dangerous?
Please rest assured, he's safe.
I want to go to the bathroom.
Xiao Yang, please accompany Miss Shen Yue.
Yes.
Over here.
I'll wait outside.
Ladies room.
Director, she's inside.
Hello, Director.
Is she still inside?
She's still inside.
How long has she been in there for?
About 7-8 minutes.
Miss Shen Yue.
Comrade Shen Yue.
Here.
The cross marked on the map is where Rong Jinzhen is.
I'll turn him over to you.
Bring him back home, because I know,
he is an important person.
Hope that he is safe all his life.
