The Legend of Chinese Zodiac
Episode 14
I've discussed it with Mi Junfei,
Since we fear that Little Fish has already returned to our residence,
it would be better that we split up: Mi Junfei and I will first go to watch over the Hundred Tricks Troupe,
while you first go back and keep Little Fish safe.
No need to discuss this. Go, quick.
She couldn't tell. You've managed to fool her, and you're not a bit worse than I am at it.
- Enough with the nonsense. - Okay, okay.
Strange, why did Brother Hu suddenly want me to go back?
Little Fish is surely not in the residence.
Could it be that...Brother Hu just wanted to get rid of me?
Why is that?
No. I'll go back and have a look.
- Hey! - Hey!
What are you doing? Let him go!
This is my animal. I know how to care for him. Do I need to listen to you?
You shameful thief. Bring out Little Fish. Otherwise, I will not spare you!
You sound very confident.
Men!
-Stop your nonsense. Hand him over. -Wait.
I'm Mi Jun Fei. This brother, what is your name?
I'm Lan Tong. I'm the leader of this Lan Shi entertainment troupe.
You're the leader? I think we've had some misunderstanding.
If we've offended you, you're benevolent. Please understand.
If you said that earlier, there wouldn't have been a misunderstanding.
May I ask why you've come here, Brother Mi?
Hey. You heard what we said earlier already. Return Little Fish now.
Little Fish? Which one is Little Fish?
You keep asking me for him, but you have no proof I have him.
I can't let Brother Xiao Hu know that I've returned.
Little Fish is our brother.
He accompanied us here.
He is very young and a little mischievous.
Maybe he was a little too mischievous and came here to play and was caught by you, Brother Lan.
Do you mind returning him to us?
Then everyone can go about their business and avoid conflict.
Brother Mi, I understand what you're saying.
Leader...
Why are you spouting nonsense with this person?
Wait. Don't be rash.
Brother Mi, my subordinate has told me,
there indeed was a boy here tonight.
He was around ten years old. His actions were very suspicious.
He looked like he was coming to steal something.
Then it must be that Little Fish...
It must be his mischievousness.
Let me apologize to you right now.
It's a shame. The boy is no longer here. After my subordinate caught him, he gave him a warning
and then let him go.
If that's the case, do you dare let us search?
If you don't believe me, then you can search.
But if you can't find him, then you must leave immediately.
So we can avoid further conflict.
We humbly accept this offer.
Please.
This is our backstage. We pile miscellaneous items here before the show.
Sometimes, we will also put junk in here as well.
Brother Mi, look closely.
There's nowhere to hide anyone here.
Sorry about that.
My two brothers, I didn't lie to you, did I?
Is the child you're searching for here?
You're correct. Perhaps we received faulty information.
We've bothered you. We'll take our leave.
I don't believe it.
Little Fish.
- We're taking our leave. - Hey!
We're taking our leave.
Brother Xiao Hu and Brother Mi both haven't found him?
It appears he isn't here. I must return.
Go to the secret chamber and see if those children are hidden well.
Yes.
Brother, that Mi fellow almost found the children just now.
Thankfully, we added an extra level of protection.
I already said, I already we can't-
Brother, brother. You must prepare more protection in case they come back.
Hurry, take my brother away.
Yes.
Hurry, hurry.
Hurry.
Let go of me.
Why did you keep stopping me? You know that he's hidden Little Fish.
-The situation has changed. -What has changed?
This situation concerns the lives of multiple children and Little Fish.
What did you say?
I think that this place
has a much larger conspiracy.
Not only Little Fish, but all the missing children
have been hidden in this entertainment troupe.
You mean to say that Lan Tong is the criminal who's been kidnapping children?
You couldn't tell? Yes, he appeared calm and he let us search.
But do you remember? Every time he says something,
he will always look at that strange person in the container. There is something strange going on.
If that's the case, why did you stop me from finding Little Fish?
If I didn't stop you, then you would've started fighting them.
We could protect ourselves, but could we have protected the children from becoming hostages?
But we've already searched. We couldn't find those children
or Little Fish.
If he didn't hide them well, would he have dared to let us search?
But their little tricks have not fooled me.
From Lan Tong's expression,
we can guess that behind that stage,
there must be an unknown, hidden chamber.
Very good. Let's wait until late at night, when they're all asleep
and when they're not on guard.
Brother, are you alright?
I told you to kill them. Why didn't you?
You know that I cannot punish you,
so you've become accustomed to not heeding my word?
Isn't this the poisoned child from the performance?
Why does he seem superior to the leader?
Why does the leader refer to him as older brother?
Big Brother, it's all my fault, all my fault!
Big Brother, it's only that those two are highly-skilled.
Even if we were to fight them, we may not win.
At that point, if you were to be harmed, that would be reprehensible!
Please Big Brother, forgive me. Please Big Brother, forgive me this time!
Who is it?
I've had the feeling that someone was outside this room, looking at us.
Someone must have enacted their invisibility charm. Lan Tong, pour some water over there.
Very well.
I know you! You are the woman who came to the circus today with that smelly kid.
Speak! What did you come here for?
I came to find Little Fish.
Throw her into the secret prison, and find the servants for me.
Get some rest. No need to be nervous.
Lurking is no savage attack.
Lurking... I'm not going to spare them.
Sister Xue Lian! Sister Xue Lian!
Sister Xue Lian! Sister Xue Lian! I'm here!
Little Fish, how did you end up here too?
Did the little monkey bring you here, Sister Xue Lian?
How come you were put in here too? And what about Brother Xiao Hu?
If they hadn't captured you, I'd have turned back.
I was sneaking in by myself, so they caught me.
What shall we do then?
I didn't know you were looking for me, Leader. What is it you want?
The things you couldn't handle have already arrived here.
These two men just left here just a short while ago.
Follow them at once. And handle them in a more clean manner!
Yes, I understand.
Brother, these two men are just visiting foreigners.
If we set free the child they are looking for,
they might give it up.
Nonsense! You seem to be soft-hearted, only ruining things.
- Go now! - Yes.
- Lan Tong! Take me to the secret prison.
Isn't that the servant who was spying on us?
I told you that he and that troupe's leader are of the same sect.
You wait here, I'll follow him.
Be careful.
According to what you say, these children were brought here a long time ago.
I want to go back home.
I want my mom, I want my dad, I want my sister.
Sister, will you save us?
- I want to go back home. - We want to go back home.
Don't cry!
I want to go back home.
Don't you cty. There's no use in crying.
Me too, I want to go back home.
Relax, there's always a way out.
We will find a solution.
Brother Monkey!
Brother Monkey, quick, bite off the rope tying Sister Xue Lian. Quick!
Quick! Bite it. Bite it!
Brother Monkey, bite it off. Bite it off!
Bite, bite, bite!
Sister Xue Lian, quick, save me quick!
You wanted to run away?
Sister Xue Lian!
Come and hit me if you have the guts. Don't bully sister Xue Lian!
I understand now how the rope tying her could be loosened by itself.
It is clearly your work, you pet!
Men! Hit him!
Hey! Don't!
Don't hit him! Brother Monkey! Don't hit him!
You...
Sister Xue Lian, isn't that the toxic man in the jar from the show?
So he is the true leader of the Hundred Tricks Troupe.
Seems like you, blonde girl, have some sense.
Hit him! Hit him hard!

Originally, I wanted to keep you alive
so that I will reach a collection of 9981 boys and girls,
but it seems like... like you prefer not to live a very long life.
Brother, this...
Men, grab this girl.
Don't kill me! Don't kill me!
If you have guts, face me, Little Fish!
Don't bully little girls!
Come on! Come on!
I see you have no fear of death, or you pretend to have no fear.
- Men, grab him! - Yes!
- Little fish! - Come and grab me! Come on! Come! Come and get me!
Come!
Little...
Little Fish!
Sister, I'm fine.
You'll stop being fine in a moment.
You freak! Soaking all day long in that jar of poison, huh?
What are you satisfied about?
The negative qi on your face says you are jealous of me, aren't you? (T/N internal energy)
Jealous of men having arms and legs, and being capable of jumping and running, right?
If you dare touch one hair of my body,
I'll smash your jar of poison,
and burn your black-hearted troupe!
And then we'll see what you can do to me. I won't spare you one bit!
Than I'll first chop off your arms and legs,
and then we'll see how you smash my potion jar,
and burn my troupe! Chop off his arms and legs!
You dare? You dare? I won't spare you!
See if I dare or not! Quick, cut off his arms and legs!
And squeeze him into a jar of poison!
Give him a taste of how being a poisonous man like me
feels like after all!
- Little Fish! - Wait!
Brother, I venture to ask you, let this monkey go!
You become more and more impudent!
Brother, didn't you say that capturing these children
is only in order to train them in performing and making money?
Performing. Yes. Of course it was performing.
But without letting their families know them.
So of course a small shapeshifting was needed.
Enough with the nonsense. Men! Cut off his arms and legs!
-Yes! - This... - Little fish!
Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey, are you okay?
Give me the whip!
You pet!
- Don't hit him! - Don't hit him!
You creature, unable to tell right from wrong. You dare to betray my brother!
I'll hit you to death!
- Brother Monkey! - Don't hit him! - Don't hit him!
Brother Monkey! Don't hit him!
- Don't hit him! - Brother Monkey!
- Don't hit him! - Don't hit him!
My head hurts so much!
- Brother! - It hurts so much!
Lock them all up! Lock them!
Brother... If there's any mishap, I will hold only you responsible!
Come, quickly raise my brother.
Yes!
Why hasn't Xinghu returned yet?
Let him escape.
Okay. Let's hurry and save Little Fish first.
The affairs I handle are not for you to meddle in.
Go! Quick! Quick!
Quick! Quick! Hurry up!
Quickly!
That's a good opportunity. Xing Hu hasn't returned yet.
Whatever. I won't wait for him.

Assist me.
Big Brother!
Quick!
Could it be that this little kid in the jar survives because his clothes are soaked with poisonous liquid?
Poison treated with poison? Why is Lan Tong, who is clearly more than ten years older than him,
calling him "big brother"?
Quickly! Quickly! Do it faster!
Quick!
Faster!
Brother, are you ok?
I see you wish me to die soon!
Brother, my sin is worth a thousand deaths.
I forgot to replace your toxic liquid.
Brother, please remember that the many years I carefully took care of you.
Forgive me this time.
Do you still remember I am your big brother?
Your mercy and virtue, Big Brother, I shall cherish forever.
- Sorrowfully, sorrowfully you have already changed. - No.
- You have learned how to block me. - No.
- Unwilling to do as I say. - No, Brother!
Maybe, after so many years,
- you have grown up and became a man? - No! No!
- Up and ready to spread your wings? - No!
I have always been one who revered you, Big Brother,
wanting to be a child obedient to his big brother.
Lan Tong, you know that in the last few years I've had many hardships in my life.
Soaked within this small poison jar.
Unable to move my arms, unable to stretch my legs.
Whatever I do, I have to count other people's strength.
- Lan Tong, you have to remember to replace my poison liquid on time. - Yes.
- Replace the liquid for me! - Yes, yes.
Otherwise, it hurts like a hundred venomous snakes are biting my thighs
- all at the same time! - Yes, yes.
Such a feeling, you have never felt.
This form I have right now,
- do you...do you remember who caused it? - I remember.
Do you remember?
I remember! Brother, your mercy at saving my life
is something I shall never forget!
Back then, you saved my life, Brother,
- and then... then... - You still remember, I thought you forgot.
- I didn't! - Back then, we people of Lan tribe, suffered an enemy vengeance,
and only two children were left, you and I.
That sorcerer caught you and planned to soak you until you become a poisonous man in a jar!
And who saved you? It was I! I!
It was I who acted when they were off guard,
put myself in your place, and let you escape death by a hair's breadth!
- This thing I have become, you know whose fault it is, do you? - I know!
It was for your sake! For your sake!
Eighteen years. Eighteen years.
I'm dragging out an ignoble existence, neither man nor monster!
Look at me. Look at me! Do I look like a thirty-year-old man?
Look at me. Look at my face!
It's a pity that now you no longer listen to me.
No. No, brother,
I always listen to you.
You wanted to come to Yicheng, so I brought you here.
And here we've established Master Lan's Hundred Tricks Troupe.
You wanted me to go and kidnap these children, so I went and kidnapped them.
Brother! I have always listened to you, Brother!
I wanted you to ruin their facial features and cut off their limbs!
Make them deformed like me, so that they'll make their trade in the troupe!
Why don't you do it? You defy me, time and again!
Are you taking advantage of me being disabled and unable to teach you a lesson?
You have changed. You have changed, Brother!
You have changed completely from what you used to be.
Brother, these children are all vivid and cute.
How can you stand destroying them?
You've changed. You've changed.
Seems like the poisonous liquid in the jar
has also soaked into your brain, Brother!
You...You're changed. You're changed.
I've become wicked, terrifying, detestable!
I'm like a monster!
Do you know why?
Because I hate them. I hate their having perfect limbs,
being able to run on lawns, run under the sunlight!
Enjoying their parents, sad and disgracefully spoiled children!
But me, I'm not a man nor a monster.
This is why, why!
It's not fair! Not fair!
I want them to be changed into a monster like me!
Don't tell me that because of that little matter,
because of these insignificant children,
you are going to deprive me of the joy of revenge?
You're crazy.
You've gone crazy!
Brother! These children are all innocent, Brother!
You're crazy, Brother!
I don't care! I don't care!
I hate them. I hate them!
I have to transform them into the monster I have become.
No one will stop me!
Whoever stops me, I'll kill him!
Hey, since I see that you still have a good mind, I do not intend to kill you.
But if you'll keep on serve as his assistant for evil deeds, I won't be that considerate!
If you want to kill my big brother, you'll have to step on my dead body.
Don't talk nonsense to him. Kill him, quickly!
This time we cannot escape.
That evil person will surely kill us.
Relax, no fear. There is always a way out.
Once we have the chance, we will surely run away.
Don't waste your powers. You'll die in a flash. Get some rest.
You pet, you dare coming here wreaking havoc?
You think I won't kill you?
Brother Monkey! Save me!
Quick, Brother Monkey, do it! Do it!
Brother Monkey, are you okay?
- Brother Monkey. - Brother Monkey! Are you okay, Brother Monkey?
- Save Sister Xue Lian first. - Brother Monkey!
- You go! Brother Monkey, do your best! - You go! You go, Brother Monkey!
Little monkey, don't chew.
This is ox tendon, you won't be able to chew it off.
- Brother Monkey! - Brother Monkey, don't chew!
- Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey! - Little monkey.
Be careful, Brother Monkey!
Brother Monkey!
- Brother Monkey! - Brother Monkey!
- Don't bump there! Brother Monkey!
- Brother Monkey! Don't bump there! -Don't bump there, Brother Monkey!
- Brother Monkey! - Don't bump there! Don't bump there!
- Brother Monkey! - Don't bump there!
Little monkey, don't bump there! You'll hurt yourself!
Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey!
Brother Monkey, don't bump there! Brother Monkey!
I never thought that a small monkey can save people.
These people are no better than beasts!
But I feel that this Lan Tong has a compassionate heart.
He might have a painful background.
These are all assumptions, he is a partner of that black-hearted poisonous man.
Otherwise, why won't he set us free?
That poisonous man is soaking there in the poison jar,
What can he do about it?
- Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey!
Brother Monkey! Don't chew!
Brother Monkey! Are you ok? Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey!
Brother Monkey! Don't chew!
Don't chew! Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey!
Brother Monkey! Don't chew! Don't chew!
Don't chew, Brother Monkey! Don't chew!
Brother Monkey, don't chew!
Are you okay, Brother Monkey?
Brother Monkey, are you okay?
- Brother Monkey! - Are you okay, Brother Monkey?
What kind of demon are you?
Who are you? Let go of my little brother quickly,
or else I'll make sure you die miserably!
- Good. your aura of death is very strong. - Who are you?
Never mind who I am. I just need you to know,
I can turn you again into a normal person.
Would you like to get out of this jar?
If I would be able to get out of this jar, you can do whatever you want with me.
Do you hate these normal children?
I do! I hate them!
Then after you get out of the jar, what would you do to them?
I'll chop their hands and their legs, and then stuff them into my poison jar!
- You'll turn them into monsters like you, right? - Right!
Right!
Do you have more wishes?
I wish extreme pain for them, I wish to grind their bones to dust!
Okay, if that is what you want,
would you pay for it with your insignificant soul?
If you'll get me to come out of this poison jar and kill them,
I'll pay with anything. Anything!
Expert in taking advantage of people's desires, bewitching them into becoming demons. You are Chimei!
Secretly stabbing us in the back the whole time, it was you!
- Brother! Brother! - Hey, hey.
Brother!
I must kill all of the little children.
Brother! Brother!
Hey, hey, hey, he has already turned into a hyper-toxic demon sorcerer, and you rub him, do you want to die?
He is my brother, he won't hurt me. Brother!
He was enchanted by Chimei, his consciousness is very meager now. It's hard to say whether he'd kill you.
I'll make them turn into poisonous men like me!
Brother! Brother!
- What are you waiting for? run quick! - What happened? What happened?
Brother!
- Go! There's a monster inside. - Go!
Look!
Where did this monster came from?
I have to eliminate all of the little children, make them poisonous men like me!
Poisonous men like me!
Brother!
Very poisonous!
Don't go there!
- Brother! - Hey, hey, don't!
I'm telling you not to go.
Damn, we have to quickly go and save the little children. Where are the children? - Children?
- Where are the children? - They...they are in the secret room.
I'll stay here and block him. Hurry and rescue those children. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.
-Hurry and go. -Brother.
-Hurry.
- Monkey Brother. - Monkey Brother.
- Little monkey. - Monkey Brother.
- Monkey Brother!
- Little monkey. Monkey! - Monkey Brother.
If we can't escape now, then when those evil men come, everyone will surely die.
I must think of a solution.
Excellent, Xiao Yu'er. You can do it. It will surely come down.
If you dare harm Sister Xue Lian,
then I will surely skin you alive and break your bones!
And break your tendons!
Don't move.
No.
There's no time. Hurry, rescue the children!
Let us go.
Monkey Brother. Hey, what are you trying to do?
There's no time to explain. Brother Yan's body got possessed by a demon and wants to kill all of these children!
- Hurry up and let them all go! -Thank you.
I feel ashamed. I was the one who captured these children.
There's no time. Hurry, let them go, hurry!
- Sister Xue Lian, come save him. He's badly hurt! - Hurry up and go!
Very well.
-Let us go. We want to go home. -Hurry and go.
Hurry, hurry.
W-What is that?
Everyone be careful. This poisonous man has a hypertoxic body.
If you touch it, you will die.
Brother, stop fighting. Brother.
Brother Mi, be careful.
-Are you alright? -Yes.
- Brother Xiao Hu! - Why is he like this?
Xing Hu, his body is covered in deadly poison. You can't possibly get close to him.
Hey, you two. Don't hurt my brother.
Brother.
Xue Lian. Take the children away. Xiao Yu'er, come with me.
Children, follow me closely. Wherever I go, you go. Hurry, let's go.
Hurry and go.
-Hurry and go. -Brother! Brother!
