Comrades
Here's our fruit drops and workpoints!
Let me take a look.
Why isn't it moving?
Don't let it die.
If it dies, its fur won't be that shiny. Let me see.
Be careful. It is good at playing dead.
Don't worry. I got this.
Fatty!
Wang Kaixuan.
Fatty!
Wake up! Are you okay?
-Fatty! -It's not working.
Leave it to me!
Damn!
East wind comes, battle drum is beating.
We're fearless in the world.
Hear! The horn of war!
We will never retreat even a step!
We will catch that evil weasel.
In the name of democracy,
send it to the supply and marketing cooperatives and make it into a scarf.
How is that? Comrades!
Fatty.
Are you okay?
Why did you slap me?
To wake you up!
Where's the weasel?
It's gone!
It's gone?
Our fruit drops!
It's gone?
What shall we do?
What do you think?
Our efforts are in vain!
It has gone back to her hole. Deep down in the ground.
We'd better go back to sleep.
Not now, Yanzi.
Our enemy is out there!
Yanzi, we can't just retreat!
Hu, say something!
We can't just leave. Xu Erhei is waiting to see us fail.
Exactly!
We must find a way to dig it out.
In the middle of the night?
How?
Let's dig this grave open.
Or just burn it to the ground!
We can't!
What if the fire spreads... Wait.
What did you say?
Burn it to the ground?
Not that.
Dig the grave?
Yes!
Exactly!
Hu.
What're you doing?
Look.
Does this look like a big grave?
Of course. Isn't this place called the Weasel Grave?
It's called the Weasel Grave because it resembles that.
Not resemble, it is a grave.
Geomantic methods,
waterside is the best.
Spiral wind takes the second.
Mountain surrounds here makes the spiral wind
to hold the air herein.
Water around here can converge it.
To lead the air to a stop.
Old saying goes, humans live on air.
Buddhas live on worships.
Humans are depending on the air.
When they're dead, they will bless their descendants with that air.
What're you murmuring about?
Have you got a plan?
Got it.
Over there!
Hu Bayi.
Are you certain it's the place?
You two have been digging for a while.
There's nothing!
Hu
Your pithy formula.
Is that serious?
We've dug for a while.
There's nothing!
I'm so sleepy.
Can you just shut up?
It's my first time to do it, okay?
Enough, enough.
You rest a little.
Let me think about it.
Okay, okay, keep digging.
It's right here.
That can't be wrong.
Hu
Stop digging.
It's right to answer the call of the party
to dig holes to hoard grains.
But it's enough.
It's almost dawn.
Look at Yanzi.
She might catch a cold.
What? He has dug it out? Only some dirt!
Not even a weasel hair.
That's right. You should listen to me.
We should be home already.
Yanzi, get up. Yanzi. Let's go home.
Go home and make us some pancakes.
I'm starving!
South and North exist relatively.
Earth and heaven exist relatively.
Soul of the living, ghost of the dead
They all exist interdependently.
You...
Keeping going.
Not that direction!
Hu!
Hu Bayi!
Hu!
Not that deep. Stop yelling!
Come.
Yanzi, go get the bag.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Hu, where're we?
It's a grave tunnel.
So we're gonna be rich!
Let's go check it out.
Let's go.
That sly weasel!
Let's catch it.
Bastard!
There's no way out for you this time!
Let's go!
Wait!
Fatty!
Fatty.
Yanzi.
Are you okay? My waist!
Yanzi, are you okay?
That hurts!
What's this place?
Where're we?
Get up.
Come, Yanzi.
Gosh.
Look.
Hu.
Are we some ancestral grave?
Such a big coffin.
The owner must be some emperor or his kin.
We're gonna be rich. Cut the crap.
Yanzi.
Candle, match.
Here.
Hu.
We have flashlight.
Why do you need the candle?
It's in the book.
Once we enter the grave,
a candle must be lit at the southeast corner
If the candle goes out,
we must leave the grave as soon as possible.
As the saying goes,
Humans light the candle and ghosts blow it out.
Geomancy guides you to treasures underground.
Ancestors, please forgive us.
We didn't mean to disturb you.
Yanzi.
We're here to hunt for the weasels.
Yanzi, stop.
Why is that?
Maybe no humans were buried in there.
It's okay.
Way to Immortal. Look.
Human body.
With a weasel head?
So the weasel became immortal.
God.
We're in a weasel's grave?
What's wrong?
Why is her eye wide open?
It's carved that way.
It was closed just now.
You must have been dazzled.
How could a sculpture blink?
Yanzi. Yanzi.
Did you see that?
I was too afraid.
I didn't pay attention.
Who cares if its eyes are open or closed, let's leave here.
If you disturbed the weasel fairy.
You'll die young!
Why leave?
We just got down here.
We haven't found the weasel.
Judging from the sculptures.
This weasel fairy is quite rich.
In her coffin.
There might be many treasures.
You two must behave.
The elders told us.
We shouldn't touch the burial objects.
It will bring bad luck.
What bad luck?
The bad luck is with me everyday.
So that won't concern me.
Fatty.
Listen
If there're treasures in the coffin.
Then they must be taken from the masses.
Let's take it back.
To contribute to Socialism.
and the world revolution
That's right. Maybe, they'll make a difference!
At that time,
We'll get a red-star on our cap. And stand under the red flag.
We'll get a military uniform!
Okay, I go first.
Go.
Listen.
The wind.
Are you crazy?
There's no window down here.
Where can the wind come from?
Damn it!
Hu.
Why did the candle go out?
Maybe we're not welcomed by the owner.
Since that.
We should leave.
Let's go.
Go, go, go. Yanzi, hurry.
Don't go there. Hush.
Hu.
We're late.
There're nothing valuable here.
What're you doing?
Don't leave me alone.
I'm so afraid.
What's this?
Fatty, there!
Fatty.
What's it doing here? Catch it.
Catch it. hurry!
Catch it.
Feet. There!
Hu.
What is it doing?
I don't know.
It seems like... What?
White phosphorus!
Jump! Hurry, Yanzi!
Fatty, the exit! Hurry!
Let's go. Yanzi, you go first. Go!
You first!
You first! Hurry!
You first! Stop fighting, go before we all die in here!
One, two, three. Push.
Push! Come on!
Hurry!
Get up.
Hurry. Back, back.
Hu.
If that keeps burning.
We'll run out of air at last.
Once the fire on the coffin goes out.
There'll be no air left.
Hu.
Why there're so much smoke?
When the white phosphorus burns. That creates phosphoric pentoxide
in solid particles.
So much smoke.
We'll be poisoned to death by that.
Yanzi, Fatty. Cover your nose and mouth, hurry.
That sly weasel.
So evil!
Set a double insurance.
To make sure we will either die lacking of air
or killed by poison.
Before I die.
I want to confess something to you.
What?
Shoot.
Do you still remember that pretty girl
last winter
at the Sichahai in Beijing.
Yes.
To be honest.
I did ask her out behind your back.
Did you succeed?
Succeed or not.
It's not your business.
That means no.
That doesn't count.
I did something behind your back too.
We're best friends.
Tell me, I won't blame you.
Your Finnish dagger.
I gave it to someone as a gift.
You did?
Yes.
Hu Bayi.
You... get up!
I risked my life to get that dagger.
How could you just give it to somebody? Don't cover your nose.
I risked my life for it! You've promised Chairman Mao.
Hu Bayi.
Fine.
You took that from me. This...
Not this, not this. No.
Hu Bayi.
Hu bayi, you're a dead man! Don't force me! what're you doing?
Hu Bayi, I'll strangle you to death!
Hu Bayi.
Look, our friendship is finished here today.
Let go!
Damn you!
Hu Bayi, I'll strangle you to death!
Stop fighting!
stop fighting!
Look!
Stop!
Does this picture look like this place?
Let me see.
That's true. Look.
Gimme
Look.
This grave was built according to the eight Diagrams.
We came down from here.
This position
Southwest, it's the death gate. All things grow in spring, and die in autumn.
Where's death, there's a chance to live.
The death gate is at the opposite of the gate of living
in the northeast
That one is the exit.
You liar, it's a wall!
Let's go.
Where is the exit?
Yanzi, flash light.
Here, push.
Fatty, help us.
Alright.
Here, one, two three!
Yanzi, flashlight.
Hu.
This wall is the exit!
Yanzi, go! After you.
Hurry.
Be careful.
Fatty, hurry.
You little thing!
Almost got us killed!
I'll catch you today! Fatty!
Don't! Come back!
Don't leave me here alone!
Fatty
This won't work.
Hu.
There're too many holes.
What shall we do?
Use the phosphate rocks.
Block it off with the phosphate rocks.
Yanzi, flashlight. Right, phosphate rocks.
Hurry, find some tiles.
Phosphate rocks.
throw it in!
Yanzi, leather bag. Hurry.
Come on.
I got it.
Want to run?
Here!
Hu, five kilograms of fruit drops!
Retreat!
Let's go!
Yanzi.
Here, Yanzi.
Give me your hand. Come.
Stand up, stand up.
Hu.
Just get out from that furnace
Now it's freezing.
Such a joke.
Fatty, don't bring shame on our educated youths.
We came here to the countryside.
To fight with the wind and snow, fight with the world.
Steel ourselves, to cast iron...
Cast iron bones!
Stop it.
Don't pretend like some hero. It is cold.
Yanzi.
How far is that from the forest farm?
Not far.
Let's go.
Let's return her gun.
There.
Hu.
That was so close.
We almost died in there!
Look,
After so much effort.
How can that be an empty grave?
We had no experience.
That grave we went in
was already raided by some grave raider.
That gate we fell in was left by those masters.
They went in and out from the death gate. He took all the treasures before anyone knows.
The elders once told me.
There're some bandits hiding in the mountain.
They all dress in black clothes and black hat.
With a red scarf.
They wear red socks in their black shoes.
They look very special.
Those bandits always dig graves in the mountain.
In the old days.
All the bandit gangs have their name.
That group of bandits are called.
Clay society.
Where're they now?
They were put down by the government after liberation.
Some got caught, come got away.
Now they're none.
That secret gate can't be formed twenty years ago.
I remember it now.
My Finish dagger.
That isn't over.
We've experienced life and death together.
Still can't get over with it?
Listen to me.
It's about the principle, that's non-negotiable.
Either you die Stop it.
Or I die! I ...damn it.
Enough, enough, enough. Cut it out!
We've arrived.
[ Forest farm of Village GangYingzi ]
Here we are.
That's the place.
Anyone in there?
I'm some educated youths from the village.
Stop yelling, Hu.
Let's go in there. It's freezing.
Anyone here?
Anyone in there?
My god!
Uncle Qiao Shan.
You're home.
Hu Bayi.
He is uncle Qiao Shan.
Our forest ranger.
Your gun. Belongs to the forest farm.
Sir.
Sorry if I've offended you.
Please forgive us.
Nice to see someone who knows the rules.
Uncle Qiao Shan, we're freezing.
Could we go in there and have some hot water?
What's going on?
He is a weird old man.
What now?
Let's go.
Come inside.
