The Legend of White Snake
Episode 17
My Husband is kind hearted. Anyway him and Lady Ruyi are childhood friends.
Worrying about him is normal. I don't want to make things difficult for him.
Xiao Qing, you shouldn't say bad things about Lady Ruyi infront of my Husband anymore.
- I... - Come on. Let's go lend my Husband a helping hand.
Let's take a look at how that Wang Da Ling cheated.
Lets go.
At our Baohe Hall we won't call it Anti-Epidemic pill.
We'll call it Prevention pill.
What did the wind blow that Physician Xu is here?
It can't be that you want to force me to give you the prescription again?
It's not that. I want to thank you Junior Sister for being a savior.
I happened to pass by Hai Zhou Zhang's family shop.
And bought some for you.
This is Brother Han Wen's way of being reasonable.
This anti-epidemic pill isn't easy to make.
If it weren't for our past relationship,
no matter how skillful Bai Suzhn is,
she wouldn't be able to get this miracle medicine.
Ruyi, what exactly is your relationship with Wang Daoling?
Have you really decided to marry him?
My father isn't around anymore.
It's hard for me to manage Jishi Hall on my own.
Daoling is good with medicine. He can help me a little.
I don't have a choice.
He may be good in medicine, but he has bad intentions.
I don't wish for you and a man like him-
Brother Hanwen, it's rare that we talk about the past. Let's talk about something interesting.
Ruyi, as an older brother,
I can't watch you be fooled by a bad man.
Who cares about you as an elder brother!
Please be mindful of your position before butting into our business.
- Ruyi- - Apart from my husband, no one can tell me what to do!
Ruyi-
If my son dies, I don't want to live either!
Cut it out. If you want to make a racket, get out!
Divine Physician Wang, I'm begging you!
This is the title deed to my house. Take it.
I will definitely give you the rest of the money.
- I beg you to save my son! - Why would I want a lousy house in the village?
Listen up! If you want my miracle pill,
it's sixty taels of silver. Not one less.
Didn't you say it was fifty taels? Why is it sixty taels now?
That's highway robbery!
It will be eighty taels tomorrow. We have less and less medicine each day.
Whether you want it or not, it's up to you.
Isn't this Physician Xu of Baohe Hall?
Your wife came looking for us two days ago.
What did she say? You were dying.
She was begging us so miserably.
You don't look so bad today.
What do you think? The Anti-Spirit Plague is effective, isn't it?
Did you think that only Jishi Hall can cure the spirit plague?
What do you mean?
Physician Bai, do you have the Anti-Spirit Plague?
We do not have the Anti-Spirit Plague, but we have the Bao An Pill.
It will definitely be more effective than the anti-epidemic pill.
Here.
But...I don't have money.
Our lady has said, it's a duty for medical practitioners to help patients and cure diseases.
This medicine is free of charge.
Free of charge? Is this true?
Absolutely. Quick, feed him the dose.
Madam Bai or Baohe Hall truly has the heart of Bodhisattva.
All these years of living, this is the first I've heard of this.
Medicine for free.
What a joke. This medicine that can't save anyone,
even if it's free, what's the point of it?
That is true. If it can't cure the sick, it's pointless even if it's free.
Mother.
My son! You're awake!
- He's awake! - He's awake!
- Thank you, Physician Bai. - I can't accept this. it is a doctor's duty to treat the sick.
Physician, do you still have the Bao An Pill?
- I want it too! - I want it too! - Give me one!
There's no rush, everyone. There's no rush.
Anyone with a family member infected with the plague can come to Baohe Hall to receive medicine.
And we guarantee that it is free of charge.We'll supply it until you're cured.
- Let's go!
Let's go to Baohe Hall.
They really have the heart of a Bodhisattva.
Benefactor.
Can I ask you for some porridge?
High Monk, there is a plague spreading across Lin'an these days.
They might seal off the city within the next few days.
You had better not beg for alms here. Leave as soon as you can.
Master, is this the multitude of lives that you want me to see?
- Master. - We're saved.
Baohe Hall is giving the medicine for free. Let's hurry to get the medicine.
Let's go! Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry up!
We're saved! We're saved!
- Take care. - Thank you.
This is the medicine the Zhang family next door took. Really.
The medicine is even free. Physician Xu and his wife are truly living gods.
- Take care. - They truly are.
Bai Suzhen is a snake demon.
But these people see her as a god.
Master, I still don't think I understand.
It's fake. Xu Xian must have had fake medicine.
Do you remember? You gave Xu Xian three bottles of medicine.
Bai Suzhen must have used the remaining two bottles
to treat the child, and then put on a show to fool everyone.
Are you sure?
It's definitely true.
Don't worry. Once Baohe Hall uses up the medicine, they'll definitely come looking for us.
Boss!
Someone's here. Someone's here.
You see? They've come.
Come, come. Please come in.
Are you here for an examination or to fill a prescription?
Prescription? My brother took three bottles of your Anti-Spirit Plague. It was useless.
You sure have some guts. You dare to fool me with fake medicine?
That can't be.
Jishi Hall's Anti-Spirit Plague has saved many lives.
You falsely accuse of selling fake medicine. That's slander!
Who is slandering you? Stop blowing your own trumpet!
You guys are too much. How dare you sell us flour as medicine for fifty taels.
And I thought we were bad. You guys are worse!
Sir, mind your words. What do you mean flour as medicine?
That's malicious slander!
Try it for yourself.
I will.
How is it?
Gentlemen, what you're doing isn't right.
You secretly changed my medicine with flour. Now you're even blackmailing me.
You won't admit to selling fake medicine, and you're even blaming your victim.
I've never been treated like this.
Brothers! Beat him!
If you dare!
If you make a move, I'll report it to the officials.
Report to the officials? Count me in!
Jishi Hall used flour in place of medicine.
You almost delayed our old master's progress.
I'm going to report you for selling fake medicine!
You call yourselves Benefit Society (Jishi) Hall? Why don't you change it to Swindler's Hall?
Landlord Liu, how about this? If the medicine is ineffective, that's okay.
We'll give you a full refund. Will that be all right?
A full refund? That's it?
Double. Will a double refund suffice?
All right, all right. Get the money.
Go, go.
There's more, not less.
Take care.
What exactly is going on?
Didn't you say the Anti-Spirit Plague is effective? Why are they all coming after us?
Ruyi, someone is definitely behind this.
They better not let me catch them. I won't show them mercy if I catch them!
If you ruin Jishi Hall's reputation, I won't show you mercy!
The plague poison is made from the toad venom from my own body.
How could someone have created an antidote?
Here, Madam. Take it. Drink more hot water.
Da Gu, escort him out.
Here, Sir.
Miss, is your Bao An Pill really free?
Don't worry, Sir.
We aren't bad physicians. We won't take a cent of your money.
There.
You really are a good person.
Da Gu, escort him out.
- Here, Madam. - Take care.
Just as I suspected. You Baohe Hall
substituted my anti-epidemic pill, to build yours.
Fine. I'd like to see
How much medicine can you give away?
The water has come.
Drink some.
Thank you.
Slowly.
Wife, how much of the antidote is left?
There's only a couple of dozens of bottles left now.
There's double the amount of people than there is normally recently that have come to get medicine.
Continuing like this isn't a good plan.
We're curing the symptoms but not the root cause.
Recently, I've been suspecting that Wang Daoling has something to do with this plague.
I know that you are kind, so I haven't dared to say that.
Could it be that you think the same?
I've always suspected that Wang Daoling isn't a good person, so I tailed him in secret.
I discovered him pouring a strange kind of power into the well.
I continued to tail him after. That's how I discovered the antidote.
Dear, you should have discussed this with me earlier.
To take without asking is the same as stealing.
Doing things this way is a negative for your character.
Besides, no matter how much antidotes you can steal,
if Wang Daoling keeps poisoning people, we can't stop the problem.
Then what should we do?
Catch him in the act, so that Wang Daoling cannot continue his evil ways.
[ Break ]
You can't go in.
- Brother. - How can there be no more?
Fellow villagers, we're given out all of the medicine today.
We're not giving out anymore for now. My apologies, everyone. My apologies.
That's that?
I think you just don't want to give out medicine anymore.
And here I thought that the people of Baohe Hall were good.
Actually you still want to make money.
Isn't that right?
- Everyone, quiet down! We've given out all of our medicine. - Calm down, everybody!
There really isn't any medicine today.
Stop lying to us! Isn't that right?
-Sorry, everyone. -Please understand everyone. Please go back home first.
Sorry, everyone. Everyone go back home first.
Is it true or false?
You said Baohe Hall has given out all of the medicine?
And the patients scolded them.
Wasn't I right? They couldn't last more than a few days.
As long as Baohe Hall keeps giving out medicine, I'll send people to pick up the medicine daily.
I sure would like to see
how Xu Xian will look after they use up their horde.
Shut up! How can you denigrate Brother Hanwen?
What free medicine? It's a stupid idea from Bai Suzhen.
I want Brother Hanwen to know that woman is a disaster.
Also, those people that you hired to make a ruckus can only target Baohe Hall and Bai Suzhen.
They absolutely cannot hurt Brother Hanwen.
I know.
I want to induce Wang Daoling to do something out of anxiety and reveal his evil intent.
You mean...
We will open for business as usual.
We'll tell people that we developed a new medicine with other ingredients.
And this new medicine will be even more effective than the Prevention Pill.
Then this new medicine's name
will be Permanent Cure Pill.
Didn't you say we couldn't get hold of the antidote?
I'll make the Permanent Cure Pill with the leftover anti-epidemic pills.
What? The anti-epidemic pill again?
[ Baohe Hall ]
Physician Xu, after I took the Prevention Pill last time.
I was sick again in a few days.
Back and forth, when will I get rid of it?
Uncle, don't worry.
This is Permanent Cure Pill. We developed a new medicine at Baohe Hall specifically for the epidemic.
You won't get sick again after taking it.
Permanent Cure Pill?
This sounds great.
Thank you, Physician Xu.
Uncle, take care.
Thank you.
No more sickness? Sounds nice.
Xu Xian, Xu Xian, you Permanent Cure Pill may cure one tenth of my Toad toxin?
If I double the toxin,
do you think you'll be able to fight it?
Sister, do you think that Wang Daoling will get lured?
He looks like he already has.
Then that's too good.
I already arranged it according to your commands.
Once he gets hooked, we'll definitely catch him in the act.
How dare you!
You dare to poison the Lin'An City's water well.
Wang Daoling, now we know it's poison, not plague.
For money, you would harm all the people in the city. You are really evil.
Xu Xian, you are tricking me?
So what! Guards!
- Lock him up! - Yes!
Lock me up? It's not that easy.
Where is he? Where is he?
- Find him! - Yes!
Mere mortals think they can lock me up? In their dreams!
You are the one dreaming that you can escape.
What's that?
We will carry out justice for Heaven.
So it's you! You are spirits too.
Then why are you against me?
I am not like you. I cultivate the moral way.
Don't be a hypocrite. You are just a snake demon.
Don't pretend to be Guanyin Buddha.
Sister, don't speak so much nonsense with him. Kill him.
So that's the snake demon who's lost the spirit pellet!
I've enough power to deal with you.
So upsetting. He's actually escaped.
He's hurt his primal energy. He shouldn't be able to recover soon.
Luckily I've kept a hand.
White Snake, just wait and see.
Everyone rest assured. The well water is detoxed now.
Good, good, good!
We had no idea that Wang Daoling could be so vicious.
To poison the well? Jishi Hall really wants money.
They'd do such a deplorable thing.
Thanks to our skillful Physician Xu.
From now on, we won't be afraid of the epidemic.
Good, it's too good!
Physician Xu! Physician Xu!
Physician Xu, Jishi Hall has been smashed.
Wife.
Yes, it deserves to be smashed.
Smash it. Smash it.
Right. You were too much.
Wang Daoling would poison us to make money for Jishi Hall.
What keep such a practice?
Right, right, smash it!
Smash it! Smash it!
She's the one. Smash her to death!
Stop.
All give way. Give way.
Trouble you to let me through. Give way.
Physician Xu is here.
Ruyi, you're okay, right?
Physician Xu, why are you protecting this vicious woman?
That's right.
All the Elders and Fellow Residents, please listen to a word from me.
The ultimate culprit in this incident is Wang Daoling, not Ruyi.
Ruyi has kept Jishi Hall running by herself. Without an elder to show her the way, she was led astray.
Still ask everyone to give her a chance,
I would shoulder your losses.
No, you can't do that.
Let's just forget about it.
Now that Physician Xu has spoken, we'll just leave.
Let's leave. Let's leave.
Miss Ruyi, please get up.
Hypocrite! You enjoy laughing at me.
Are you done looking yet? Get out!
Ruyi, we came here to care about you.
Why are you so willful?
You are here to care about me. She doesn't care.
How can you say that?
Suzhen knows Wang Daoling was an evildoer, and asked me to persuade you.
You've seen this kind of consequence, but you still won't change to mend your ways?
I don't change to mend my ways?
If it weren't for her to lure you away from Jishi Hall,
why would I hire Wang Daoling?
Your free medicine shut our doors.
I ended up this way because of her.
Ruyi, it's your side that poisoned people, but you still blame Suzhen for saving people.
If Master were alive, he would be very sad.
You dared to mention my father?
Jishi Hall was my father's hard work.
She destroyed my Jishi Hall.
Ruyi, if you continue this way, you will regret one day.
I've said all that I can say. Please take care. Wife, let's go.
Older Brother Hanwen, are you abandoning me during my most difficult time?
You disregard our past friendship.
What's the point of having all this?
I'm going to join my father now!
Ruyi!
Husband.
Where's the medicine?
It's here.
Brother Hanwen, here's the medicine for open wounds.
No need. We are afraid to use your medicine.
Suzhen, let's go.
Older Brother Hanwen.
Liar!
Everyone are liars!
No matter how good it was in the past,
so what?
How could you be so heartless? Xu Xian!
I don't have to have you.
Ruyi. Ruyi!
You have suffered.
Ruyi, I swear that,
I will never let you suffer again.
You didn't turn your page for an hour.
Are you still thinking about Jin Ruyi?
Wife, when I was twenty years old, I paid my respects to Jishi Hall.
I grew up with Ruyi.
Even though Ruyi is pampered and prideful, she is not a bad person.
She would always take care of the disciple brothers.
When Master was dying, he entrusted Riyi to me to take care of her.
But I didn't fulfill my promise.
Husband, Ruyi is not a kid anymore.
You can't always decide for her. You don't owe her a lot.
You have been completely fair and kind with her.
Wife, I know you are worried about me
but what happened today, was really an accident.
Riyui inflicted injuries on herself because she saw us being together.
If I had met her alone, she wouldn't have done this.
That's not correct. We are in love with each other, and we are not ashamed to be with each other.
Why should we debase ourselves to appease her.
I can understand that you want to take care of her due to past friendship, but you can do everything the way she wants.
Wife, you are right.
Ruyi was truly rude and inconsiderate in how she behaved today.
As a medical practitioners, she should have followed the righteous way.
But she hurt people for her personal gain. I should try to advise her.
But she didn't listen to your advice. Every time you advised her, she wounded you.
If you go and advise her again, she will stab you.
You must be joking. Even though Ruyi is willful, she won't be that ferocious.
I wasn't joking with you.
Wife, you are usually merciful.
I have never seen you so angry. Don't be angry.
What do you want to eat? I'm going to cook now.
Look at your injury and you still want to cook?
I'm not a living Buddha. If someone else had done this, I would have given him a hard time.
Even if she's Jin Ruyi, I can only let off this time.
I'm a petty person. You know now.
Seeing how much you care about me, I'm very happy.
When you interrupted me, I forgot something important that I need to discuss with you.
What a coincidence. I have something to tell you too. Wife, you go first.
I want to set a rule. In the future,
all the patients that come to Baohe Hall will be able to buy medicine at a fair price.
You are really my muse. I was going to discuss it with you, too.
Let's also add another rule. Besides selling the medicine at a fair price,
we will allow the poor patients to get their medicine free.
This way, everyone can be treated for illnesses.
Alright.
Being able to marry such a kind and beautiful person,
I shall not want more in my life.
What flowery words.
Are you still angry?
Ruyi, you are awake. Are you still dizzy?
Why did you bring me to this place?
This is where I used to live. I saw you fainting in the rain last night.
I brought you here. Don't worry, I don't have any evil intentions.
Isn't it enough that you caused me to be in this state?
If it weren't for those bad ideas from you,
would I be so run down in Lin'An City?
Now I am homeless.
It's all thanks to you.
You can live her. Don't worry, those constables definitely will not be able to find this place.
Ruyi, after lying down for a long time, you must be hungry. Wait for me.
Ruyi, I cooked bird nest's porridge for you. Drink it while it's hot.
You don't like bird's nest? How about chicken soup?
The weather's too hot.
If this continues, I will turn into a roasted snake.
If you keep moving around, you will feel even hotter.
If you can't stand it, just look for a cool place to hide for a while.
Older Sister, why don't we go together?
I know Lin'An City really well, and I can find all the cooling places.
There are many things to be done here. I don't have the time.
To add further, Baohe operated for only a few months. How can I leave my husband here alone?
If you don't go, I'm not going too.
It it's still hot, I'm going to jump into West Lake.
Xiao Qing, you want to jump into the lake? Don't feel so unhappy.
About this...if you have any problems, just tell me. I can help you.
You are the one who is unhappy.
By the way, why are you here again?
You are always showing up in front of us. So annoying.
Physician Xu drew some medical ingredients to show me.
He told me that Baohe Hall needs them urgently.
I go some of them when I went to the mountain this time.
Take a look and see if these are the medicinal ingredients he wanted.
Ingredients? What ingredients? You're bring some crappy stuff again!
Xiao Qing.
Brother Zhang, please excuse us. Xiao Qing is such a straight talker.
I won't blame her. A good man won't fight with a woman.
Physician Bai, don't worry. I will cede to her.
Who wants you to cede to me?
About this...I previously asked Physician Xu.
Physician said that people who have bad tempers have livers that are too fiery.
I happen to bring some herbs to clear the heatiness.
Xiao Qing, I know you are afraid of snakes. I didn't bring any this time.
Afraid of snakes?
When was I ever afraid of snakes? I, Xiao Qing, am...
Show it to me.
The root is complete, and the plant is fresh.
It's indeed a top grade herb. I wonder what's your price.
Why are we talking about money? Just tell Xiao Qing to treat me to wines next time?
Do you have too much money?
Your clothes are so patched up and it can be a chess board.
Don't try to pretend you have money.
Take the money. As for the wines, I will treat accordingly.
No, Xiao Qing. Listen to me.
I didn't use that much strength just now.
I'm fine. It's just that I don't know why I'm suddenly dizzy.
I will be fine after resting.
So useless. Just a little of that and you're dizzy.
Come, Brother Zhang. Get up.
Here.
Brother Zhang.
Are you feeling fatigued, dizzy, and having rapid pulse?
Physician Bai is indeed highly skillful.
I made a few rounds up in the mountain today,
then I felt fatigued. I feel more tired than usual.
You're suffered from heat exhaustion.
I'll have Xiao Qing prepare the medicine for heat exhaustion, drink it before you leave.
- All right. - Please don't bother.
If it's just heat exhaustion, I can go home and take a nap and I'll be fine.
Don't treat heat exhaustion lightly, it can be fatal if it gets worse.
It's scorching these days, don't exert yourself outside.
I got too much sun, that's all. I'm not that weak.
Physician Bai, look at those people out there.
As long as they can move, no one will put aside their work and come to seek medical treatment.
Their salary is not even enough to pay for the medicine.
Xiao Qing, prepare more medicine for heat exhaustion.
I'll go Invite them inside.
All right.
Didn't he say he would go make me some soup?
So sneaky, what's he doing?
Demon! Demon! Demon!
Ruyi.
Demon!
Don't come any closer.
I really can't run anymore.
Ruyi, let me explain to you.
Don't come any closer.
I won't be nice to you if you come any closer.
Ruyi, don't be afraid, I won't harm you.
Don't come near me.
Ruyi, I never really wanted to lie to you.
I was worried that you'd be afraid of me if you knew it.
Ruyi, the first time I set eyes on you, I knew that it was fate that brought us together.
Don't leave me, all right?
If stabbing me can make you feel better, go ahead, stab me, stab me more.
Actually, Ruyi, I'm not a demon.
Because I stole fairy pellets, I was punished to become a toad. I am actually a celestial sprite.
Because toads are basically ugly, that's why I disguised myself as a taoist.
You really don't have to be afraid of me.
An immortal?
How can I believe that you're an immortal?
If you don't believe me, I can take you to see a place. Let's go.
It's done.
Is this medicine really free of charge?
No fee.
Thank you, thank you physician.
Let me do it.
Why did you sigh?
They are such poor people. They work hard under the harsh sun and big winds every day.
But because they can't afford to pay medical treatments, they have to endure their illness.
They came to see me only after I guaranteed that I wouldn't charge them for medical treatment.
The weather is so hot, there'll be more people getting sick.
They are not willing to come for medical treatment because they worry that they won't be able to pay for it.
How about that we open a free medical examination place.
In that way, we can treat them for free, and they don't have to worry about spending money.
This is not the proper way.
Wife, I know you are kindhearted.
But if we see patients everyday without charging them,
it may not be a permanent solution.
We just won't ask payment from the poor patients.
Did you forget our original goal for opening Baohe Hall?
If it's only for money, what makes us different from Wang Taoling?
Wife.
Even though practicing medicine is good work,
but the practitioners also need to make a comfortable living.
If we don't take payments from patients,
how are we going to support ourselves?
If things continue this way, there'll be no more physicians except the two of us.
How are we going to treat all the patients in the world?
Husband, your words are unreasonable. Only Baohe Hall doesn't charge fees.
I didn't say all the medical halls in Lin'an City should charge no medical fee.
They can make their own earnings and we will do things in our way. Didn't we do the same thing during the outbreak of the epidemic?
But last time during the epidemic, we distributed medicine for free because it was desperate times that called for desperate measures.
We also blocked Wang Daoling's plan to gain profit during an epidemic.
His reputation is ruined, and his play is stopped.
But right now, it's not a turbulent time.
If we insist on doing it this way, we won't just make an enemy out of Jishi hall,
wee will also bother all others in Lin'An's medical profession.
So we just ignore the poor patients who can't afford to pay and delay treatment?
Your plan is not unworkable,
it just cannot be carried out daily.
But I do have a plan that will work both ways.
Every 10 days, we will give free exams for one day.
We will also brew some broth that provides cooling from the summer heat to passerbys.
We'll also tell them some prevention tips against diseases.
We'll exam for free, but won't give the medicine for free,
unless the patients are particularly poor, then we'll give them special assistance quietly.
What do you think?
This is very good. Your thought is more thorough.
They argue a while, then reconcile.
Love must be a disease.
The people who are affected become insane.
Luckily, I'm not interested in those games that you mortals are playing.
You...why are you bringing me back here?
Ruyi, I want to show you something inside this cave.
