With that soup,
Huamei should be recovered.
Yanzi
How is she?
Her fever is gone.
Stay here, guys.
Let her have some rest.
After the bear gall's efficacy goes into blood,
perhaps she'll be back to normal.
Right, uncle Qiaoshan
That Hua Bangzi
How are you gonna dispose him?
Lock him up in the forest farm. After Huamei gets recovered,
send him to the county's public security bureau.
Uncle
The savage our villagers have been talking about,
could that be him?
That's possible.
He's been wanted for so many years.
Why didn't he run out of here?
But ends up in the mountains?
People have eyes.
He couldn't run away.
What a pity! He's ruined the bear's palms.
Otherwise,
we could get more workpoints.
The bearskin is also okay.
Later,
everyone of us can have a bear hide hat!
I can't decide that.
It depends on secretary!
Hu
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Bear hide hat, do you want one?
Hat?
I want one.
Are you okay?
Daughter
Dad
What's wrong with me?
You're fine now.
You're fine. You're fine.
Huamei
You're possessed.
We found bear gall in the mountain and cured you.
Thanks.
Look, Sis Huamei
Although we didn't catch the brown bear,
yet we've got a bandit leader.
Consider that a contribution to the world revolution.
If you thank us,
it'll lower that awareness.
Isn't it, Hu?
Yanzi
Take good care of Huamei. I need to rest.
Hu?
Hu
Where are you going?
I'm tired.
Just leave me alone.
Hu
Go back.
The way you said is this?
You're a Mojin Xiaowei. Yet you can't see your way.
Don't you fail your forefathers?
This Sixteen-character Geomancy Secrets of Yin and Yang
was created by Mojin Xiaowei in the Qing Dynasty,
passed down to his disciples together with his compass.
Hu
You know what did I mean?
You're a descendant of Mojin (treasure seekers).
You're a Mojin Xiaowei!
[ Gangyingzi Village Supply And Marketing Cooperatives ] [ Serve The People ]
Two days ago, uncle Qiaoshan brought a weasel here,
isn't that good?
You know where we got it?
The Weasel Grave.
At the foot of Mt. Tuan.
Gosh!
Really?
So bold! You really went there?
So,
If not exchanged it for five kilograms of fruit drops,
would be a great waste!
And a scorn for proletariat laborers!
So,
hand over the precious weasel to our higher authority,
even ghosts will feel touched.
No.
No ghosts.
There are no ghosts in this world.
Only our laborers!
Laborers,
invincible!
Yes.
Laborers, invincible.
2.5 kilograms, orange flavor.
2.5 kilograms, plum flavor.
Don't use the paper.
Then what?
Gosh!
Fatty, what are you doing?
It's day time. Don't... Don't kid me.
Kraft is too eye-catching.
Put it in my coat.
Don't expose your wealth.
You scared me.
Don't expose what?
This part of your clothes is exposed!
Use this.
Sis, don't...
-Do as I say. -Don't...
Be good! Be good!
Sis!
Hu Bayi!
Bad news!
Fatty went to the cooperatives.
To exchange the weasel for fruit drops.
But I won't eat any.
Hu Bayi, don't eat it.
Weasels might take revenge on you.
I'm thinking about to catch more weasels.
If two come, we'll catch a pair. Why have to fear?
What on earth is the bad news?
I can't explain it.
You'll know.
Uncle Qiaoshan
He's here.
Sir
Any findings?
Nothing.
But have found this in his clothes.
Take a look.
Uncle
What's this? Gold.
I've been staying in Mt. Tuan for decades.
Never seen such a pure gold.
Where did he find this?
Said he dug it out from the brown bear's stomach.
That's a lie.
How would the brown bear eat gold?
You won't get it.
This is the biggest secret of Mt. Tuan.
White tiger descends to the plain.
Gold dragon lands to the mountain.
To find out the treasures' hideout,
where no one has ever come back.
What he said
reminds me of a thing of the past.
It's said that many years ago,
in Mt. Tuan,
there hid a shinning gold dragon.
What's up?
They've found it.
Finally, we get some treasure!
After so long, finally we get it!
Lift! Lift!
Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.
Hurry, pull them up!
Hurry! Pull them up!
You two, quickly!
What's that?
Come on. Use your strength!
Come on! Like you're sleeping with your girl!
Are they coming?
They have some gold, right?
We're gonna be rich.
Be rich.
What happened?
What's going on?
what's going on? Check it out.
Go take a look.
What's going on here?
Run!
Hurry! Run!
Gold dragon flew away, never comes back.
Some miners died. The others escaped.
Mt. Tuan thus became deserted.
Later, Japanese occupied the three Northeastern provinces.
Had dispatched a troop to look for the gold vein here.
Did they find it?
After over half a year,
didn't dig out even a tiny gold.
Well, the gold couldn't grow legs and ran away.
Ginseng does when it grows old.
Runs around in the mountains.
Leaves you far behind.
It's all superstitions.
Hu
Give us some scientific explanation.
Don't say dragon really exists in high mountains.
Yet it conceals true self when comes to the plains.
What are you murmuring about?
Waters ahead.
A peak behind.
Mountains on both sides. This land is full of treasures.
You do have insights since you can see that.
Dig out the treasures, then! Where are they?
Sir
Can I have another look of that map?
It's too old.
Many parts of it are outdated.
Not reliable.
Hu
You know geomancy, right?
Why have to watch that damn map?
Mining gold belongs to geological prospecting.
Not the same thing.
They're all underground.
They're the same thing.
Sir
The gold vein accords with geomantic landscape?
Back then, those miners said,
all gold in the mountains belong to weasel fairies.
They pooled money to consult a geomantic master.
Then built a temple above the gold vein.
Worshiped it every day.
After the landslide,
that temple was buried underground.
Sir
People need to be enlightened.
Listen to what you said,
I've figured it out.
How?
If we wanna find the gold vein, must find the temple first.
I think Hua Bangzi has been hiding in Mt. Tuan
for that purpose.
Our village has seen poor harvest for two years.
If we really can find the gold vein,
our villagers will expect
a better life.
By then, I'll make dumplings for you every day.
Whatever stuffing you like will do.
It's disappeared for decades. Not easy to find it.
You have the skills, so you can do the job.
Senior
My experience is far from being rich.
Can't you be confident in yourself?
Even the brown bear can dig out the gold as its meal.
Let alone our revolutionary youths!
Bears have gall; humans have heart.
Heart gives you misgivings.
Make cotton-padded trousers for your uncle.
Yes, with floral cloth!
Floral cloth...
Gosh.
A carton of cigarettes.
A bottle of wine.
Two bottles. On credit.
Sold out.
Hands off.
Stay away from me.
Why did you say they're sold out?
Aren't they on the shelve behind you?
Yes.
The shelve has everything you want.
But you need to buy with money.
Sis
Don't say that.
Based on my brother's face, why have to pay?
He can have everything for free.
Your brother?
Aren't you blind?
You call that "face"?
He owed me a lot last year.
Hasn't paid his debt.
This year, wants more debts?
You women always take such little money so serious.
The money I owed you last year
will be repaid if we three can get a big deal this year.
Later, when we have decent outfits,
you can have any one of us.
Pretty boys before you,
don't you like it or not?
Gosh.
Cut the crap.
You three neither wash your face nor brush your teeth.
So stink!
You never brush your teeth .
But Sis uses face cream, smells so good.
Don't ruin that.
A dog's mouth emits no ivory.
How could a dog's mouth emit ivory?
If it can,
won't the dog become a treasure?
Right.
Even if there is a treasure, you can never have it.
Look, the educated youths from Beijing,
they've captured the most wanted Hua Bangzi.
Also found a big gold chunk.
Don't listen to their boasting.
How could those educated youths bump into gold?
They're flattering themselves.
It'll be good enough if they can dig out some bear crap.
Yes.
Sis, don't believe those brats. they're lying.
They're not lying.
Laosi saw that himself when got Hua Bangzi with secretary
at the forest farm.
That gold chunk,
as big as a duck egg, so pure.
Secretary also said,
it can offset the whole year's workpoints.
If you're capable, go get two chunks as well.
Don't talk nonsense here every day. Move! Go away!
Fine.
Keep the cigarettes and wine here for us.
I will.
Later we'll buy them in cash.
In cash.
Let's go.
Put down my sweet potatoes!
-Hurry. Leave. -Are you asking for death?! Come back! You bastards!
Did you
get what she said just now?
Yes, get it.
What the f... I get it.
No debts. Cash only.
Don't play dumb before me.
You two don't live in Xiangya Village.
But raid graves in Mt. Tuan.
Isn't it because you're going after that?
East or west, gold is the best. Really makes sense.
Makes sense.
Flowers grow in the land. Fruits grow in the tree.
To get something, find out its source.
Hua Bangzi can dig out gold from the brown bear's stomach.
God has shown us a clear path.
Erhei
What did you mean?
The bear died.
But the human is still alive.
Let's go.
There's something wrong with you today.
Yes, there is.
What are you grappling with again?
I think you're also possessed by the weasel.
We're entrapped.
You mean that old man Qiaoshan?
After all of this,
we're at the mercy of others.
Hands off!
There's nothing wrong with gold seeking.
To improve people's life.
To contribute to socialist construction.
You want the whole world know it?
That's why we should be more careful.
Don't be used by others yet still feel you're great.
Look, if we really find the gold, it can't be his.
Has tried so hard to entrap us.
For what?
If he's not for gold?
Nonsense.
Is there anything more valuable than gold?
Gold has a price.
But something doesn't.
You mean cultural relics?
His map is quite interesting.
Can't be more worn-out.
If I were him, I would have thrown it away!
Have you seen
Japanese characters in the lower right corner?
It's a map of the Japanese troop.
I suspect the Japanese troop didn't aim at the gold vein.
Keep the old man busy.
I'm gonna have another look at the map.
He hides it away as if it was something precious.
How could he let you? I have my own solution.
Fruit drops?
No.
Gimme. In your pocket. I know. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Just two.
Another two.
No more.
Who's that?
Me.
Hu Bayi?
It hurts...
I swear, my eyes were closed.
I really didn't see anything.
If you dare, I'll dig your damn eyes out!
Rest easy. I dare not no matter what.
Tell me, what were you doing in my room?
I came to send these fruit drops.
Thanks to the weasel.
If so, why did you have to be sneaky?
I wasn't.
Besides, there was no one here just now.
I had knocked the door.
Then I came in.
Your bed is pretty warm.
People from the cities always behave like this.
So delicate.
It's late in winter.
Not so cold in Beijing.
Beijing?
Our great capital, the heart of our country.
You haven't been there?
The furthest place I've been is the town.
Here.
Come up.
Sit. Sit. Sit.
You should be there once, right?
To see the Tian'anmen square, walk in the museum.
After a stroll in the Forbidden City,
go boating in Beihai Park.
Longfu Temple's stuffed sausage. Tianxingju's fried pork liver.
Donglaishun's mutton hotpot.
Quanjude's roasted duck.
One month in Beijing.
There are different ways to have fun.
Hu Bayi
It's Yanzi.
Hide yourself.
Here. Here. Here.
Hu Bayi!
You've got a wrong place.
I seemed to have heard his voice.
Don't say that! I'm bathing in here!
Perhaps I've misheard.
She left?
Come out.
That Yanzi...
Really that good?
Yes.
And very beautiful.
I mean Beijing.
I mean you.
You haven't eaten the candies.
Yet you sound so sweet.
A sweet heart is even better.
A sweet heart
is second to the revolution friendship.
Remember,
wait outside when there's no one home.
I swear,
My eyes were really closed.
Besides,
I really didn't see anything.
Don't tell anyone else
what happened today.
Okay.
Then...
Do you still want the candy?
All yours.
Tomorrow morning, get a big cart.
Send him into the county.
Got it.
Did you lock the door?
Don't worry. Locked well.
If anything happens, let me know in time.
