Episode 08
The weasel's urine
And the water in the air.
Anyone of us will be caught in delusion.
Ghosts! Yanzi
Don't be afraid.
You know them.
What is he doing here?
Hu.
There's a hole in here!
So they went down from here?
A weasel!
Let's go.
Oh, my.
There're two more!
What's this?
Sir. You know a lot.
Please tell us.
What is this?
A weasel.
Back in the days,
those bandits worshiped the weasels.
Said the weasel can transform into human shape.
They made it like real.
To get oblations.
This is what they did.
All lies!
Hu.
Look at this.
This is interesting.
Oh my!
This is what blind aunt mentioned before.
The weasel fairy's copper box.
There must be something valuable in it then.
I think this must be what Xu Erhei was after.
But they failed, and got hanged by the neck.
If we can find this.
That will be a great victory!
Maybe the army will accept us!
Hu.
Where're you going?
It's our rule.
Leave it when the crow starts or candle goes out.
Kiddo. Save it.
There's nothing left here.
How do you know it?
You can't fight with the fate.
You know them?
I'm old.
Too far to remember.
See. All for nothing.
Someone took it already.
Somebody cut a corner.
Dug a tunnel from the mountain and took all the things.
Then why are we still in here?
Let's leave.
This place is so weird.
It can go up and down. Also bilaterally symmetric.
"Yinzhai" is a grave,
a house for the dead.
"Yangzhai" is house for the living.
In Geomancy, it's called Bazhai Mingjing Geomancy.
You also know about the fortune-house Geomancy?
I read it on the book.
Only remember a little.
Water Sub Unit?
It's called supply
Fine, fine, supply.
Hu.
Do you think they took the things in here?
[Anti-epidemic Water Supply Unit, Kwantung Army]
Hu
How could Hua Bangzi kill a bear?
Why it didn't leave?
The bear can smell further than us.
There's a gold vein under the tree.
It didn't want to leave.
Right.
It's a nice place.
Even the animals love it.
I don't want to go into the mountain again.
We burnt the weasel temple down.
Found a cart.
And brought Xu Erhei and the others' bodies back to the village.
At that time,
I always wanted to go down to the bottom when I see a tomb.
Until many years later,
I realized.
After a tomb is opened,
we can not only see treasures in it,
also the true human nature.
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! No pain?
No pain? No good luck.
Shit!
We ran that long for nothing!
No gold either.
Hu.
Listen,
That Uncle Qiaoshan
I think he is not that simple.
What did you mean?
Think about it.
He is just a forest ranger.
He knows the Geomancy methods.
Looked so calm when he was down in the grave.
Just went in and out. Is that possible?
That hurts so much.
You said it's okay last time.
Besides,
how does he know you're a Mojin from your old book?
Look uncle Qiaoshan...
You also doubted him, right?
Why're you two having a bath in here?
What're you doing in here?
Out! Out! Out!
Out! Don't look!
So much water! Don't look! Don't look! Don't!
Don't look! Don't!
The secretary came back from the mountain.
He wanted to know how did Xu Erhei died.
You two make it quick.
Fine, fine.
Got it. Out!
We'll finish and get out.
Out! Out!
This girl...
Fatty.
Listen to me.
Go buy some wine.
Drink with the secretary.
Report the whole thing And see if he can tell us something about uncle Qiaoshan.
Okay, fine.
What're you doing?
I told you to check on him, not on me.
What about you?
I'll go check something out.
Still looking?!
Can't have it enough?
You wanna play?
Play what?
Wanna play?
Secretary. I will drink first.
Bottom up.
I called you here to report the whole thing.
Why brought a bottle of wine?
And trying to get me drunk.
You educated youth.
Don't play tricks with me.
You're thinking too much.
Look,
you care about us educated youths.
Devoted yourself to the revolution career.
And you prepare me these nice dishes.
You gave us so many things.
As an educated youth,
I must give something in return, right?
That makes sense.
To devote ourselves to the revolution career is our goal.
That's right.
But the wine
is not that useful as the grains.
The wine we're drinking tonight is not that simple.
Why is that?
The wine is the soul of the grains. The more you drink, the younger you will become.
You drink, I report.
You don't drink, then I can't report.
An educated youth's gift,
my trembling hands
a toast to you!
Kiddo.
That's good to hear.
It's not easy to get some wine.
Seems I have no choice but to drink. Come on.
Drink?
Drink.
Drink. Cheers.
Cheers.
Look. Look.
Such a dab hand.
Such a delicate work.
Hu Bayi.
You blind.
You can see nothing!
If my mom is still alive.
she would ask me who am I embroidering for.
Last time, you gave him a black donkey leg.
This time, finally gave him something a girl would have?
Mom,
you know it?
Mom is old,
But I'm not blind.
He is an educated youth.
Yes.
He is well-educated.
Yes.
Well-educated people will go back to the city one day.
He will not remember you.
Then tell me, what should I do?
If you want him to fall for you.
Gift is not enough.
Then what?
Keep him by your side.
Be his woman.
Mom!
That thing
shouldn't wait until the wedding night?
You silly girl.
When you become his woman.
Tell the secretary.
At that time,
He will stay here with you!
Then...
Then what?
I'm afraid.
Afraid of what?
Kiddo, don't we have some wine at home?
Drink some wine
and go see him.
Then,
he will finish the rest!
The house is all dark.
You slip in from the yard.
Tell me.
What kind of dirty things are you gonna do?
Sister.
Nothing dirty.
Nothing at all.
Shut up.
Tell me the truth.
Shall I shut up
or speak?
Cut the crap.
Shut up first.
Then speak.
Hello.
I...
I'm here to see you.
Be careful.
Why come to see me?
I miss you.
Why miss me?
Can't forget you?
Shall I believe you?
You have no choice.
Why is that?
Because I dare to beat a bear.
I dare to get into the Ghosts Court.
I dare...
to remember you.
It's my turn now.
Why point a gun at me?
Because you're capable.
What kind of reason is that?
I'm capable, so I got a gun to my head?
If I didn't,
Then I can't stop a Mojin Xiaowei.
Who told you that?
You do listen to your dad.
The other things don't matter.
How did Huang Bangzi and Xu Erhei die.
Tell me the truth.
It's human lives!
You must tell me the truth.
So I can report it to the supervisors.
Such a big thing.
You let me report it?
Do I have the qualification?
You have been in the mountains.
Qualifications?
Secretary,
It's uncle Qiaoshan, he took us there.
I know it's him.
That old man didn't report to me first.
He is old, I'll let him be.
So I called you here.
I see, I see.
Uncle Qiaoshan is kinda an elder in the village.
We must respect him. I know that.
An elder? Don't flatter himself.
He came to the village after the Liberalization.
He wouldn't tell us where he came from.
Luckily, he is a good forest ranger.
Otherwise, he would be kicked out from here long time ago.
Look, leaders are all generous.
Don't be angry.
Where's your mom?
She died a long time ago.
My dad raised me up.
What's her name?
I don't know.
Where is your hometown?
As far as I can remember.
I live in the village.
What did your father do before he came here?
Huamei!
My...
It's late, time to sleep.
Go.
Sir.
I have something urgent.
I must tell you.
What is that?
Get lost!
Now I see it.
That uncle Qiaoshan is lying.
Look, it's not ancient times,
Grave robber? That's bullshit, right?
Right, but also not right.
What do you mean by that?
Years ago,
we caught an old bandit.
He was one of the grave robber group, Clay Society.
He said the adviser of the Clay Society,
that Know-it-all is still alive
Said he knows about some grave robber things.
He is hiding in the mountains.
They sent some people to search the mountains.
No one is there!
Might be dead already.
That will save all the trouble.
Right?
Right, right.
You're the fortune teller.
Always foretell the truth.
You smart ass.
Here.
Cheers.
A ship is sailing with a sailor.
All things grow under the sun.
Rain nourishes the seedlings.
Revolution needs....
Hu Bayi.
Why did you sleep so early?
Wang Kaixuan went to report to the secretary.
I'm here to report to you
About my true feelings.
Hu Bayi.
I love you.
I know you don't love me.
I also know
you will not marry me.
but since the day you came to our village.
I have fallen for you.
Cut it out.
Hu Bayi.
I know.
Your heart is not in the village.
I also know
you'll go back to the city one day.
But I only want to be with you for some days.
That's all I want.
Yanzi.
I'm back.
Why the door is open?
What? Hu? Go back to sleep!
Fatty.
Shut up. Shut up!
