[Eagles And Youngster]
[Episode 18]
Mr. Ma, congrats.
We've prepared your favorite Xifeng wine for you.
I'm about to die.
Congratulations on what?
Don't say that, Boss.
Your case closed today,
so you don't need to suffer anymore.
Don't worry.
Twenty years from now, you'll be a real man again!
I hope so.
What time is it now?
Almost noon.
All right. Please wait for me a while by the door so I can clean myself up decently.
Okay, let's go.
[Prohibited]
Today, he'll be executed.
Yes. A leader of bandits ends up like this. What a pity.
Look at you. You sympathize with him?
Thanks to him, we've made such a great contribution. We'll have a better life at the end of the year.
That's right.
I've seen many prisoners with a death penalty,
but few of them are like Boss Ma.
Look at him.
He's neither desperate nor in a panic.
Yes, he seems so calm.
Listen to me. He's seen it through.
He knows he's at the end of his life.
Really...
Why is it so quiet?
Oh no!
Where is he?
How could he just disappear?
Brother, are you okay?
It seems they can't catch up with us now.
Brother, thanks.
Without you, I would have been in the netherworld now.
Returned favor.
Don't mention that again.
You left that secret tunnel for yourself.
You took all the risks.
Today, I owe you a debt of gratitude.
From now on, you're my sworn brother.
In the future, we'll share wealth and woe, heart-to-heart with each other.
It's just... those soldiers won't let me off.
They have been going after the bandits all these years.
We can't keep running away forever.
So, we've got to find another way to make a living.
We can't stay here anymore.
The... The... The Gold Kingdom.
The Gold Kingdom?
Go... Go... Gold!
Gold?
You mean, that place has a lot of gold?
[Integrity Hall] [Ma]
Brothers, the Boss left us today.
We didn't see him off.
Now, let's say goodbye to him right here.
Hold your winecups up high.
- Goodbye, Boss! - Goodbye, Boss!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Today, let me make it clear.
Whoever wants to leave, just leave! I won't stop you!
Second-in-Command. Third-in-Command. I just left for a few days,
and you're going to tear apart my stockade?
- Big Brother is back. - Big Brother is back.
Big Brother, so great!
- Big Brother. - Big Brother.
Are you a human or a ghost?
What do you think?
Great! Big Brother is back!
It's really Big Brother! How did you escape?
It was thanks to this brother.
I've heard what you said just now.
Big Brother, we thought you were really gone, I've failed you.
What you said is right.
Now, if we keep staying here, we'll be wiped out sooner or later.
We should plan and find some other way out.
What's this?
This... This is Landlord Xu!
Yes.
My principle is to always take revenge and return other people's favors.
You guys have been following me for years.
Our friendship has withstood the test of life and death.
Today, I have a way to make money.
Brother, are you willing to venture along with me?
Big Brother, what does that mean?
[Wonder Eagle Painting]
What's this?
The secret of the Gold Kingdom is right in this painting.
There's countless gold there.
As long as we can find it, we can become the upper class.
We don't need to risk our lives for grain and supplies.
We'll follow Big Brother! We'll follow!
Great!
Let's make money together!
Make money together! Make money together!
And you know what happened after that.
They never came back.
If that is true, why does no one else in the town know it?
Ma Dianchen escaped from the prison.
He was a major criminal.
The security team couldn't bear the consequences.
So, together with the bandits on the mountain,
the team made up an excuse that he revived
and disappeared with the bandits overnight.
To avoid being punished,
the man in charge back then
didn't write the truth
in the county's historical record or in any official document.
Plus, with a deliberate exaggeration,
Ma Dianchen naturally then became a fabled devil.
A ghost.
I see.
What about the Wonder Eagle painting? Do you have any details on it?
In Tu Toutuo's early days,
he followed my grandpa to dig and rob graves.
Once, they dug out an old coffin.
Among many items, there was that painting.
Grandpa looked it up.
He found that in the coffin,
the eye-shaped totem was the symbol of an ancient tribe
named the Gold Kingdom.
He felt that the secret of the Gold Kingdom
was in that painting.
So, Tu Toutuo stole that painting
after he escaped from the prison.
Yes. He felt guilty.
When he stole it,
he left all his accumulated assets.
Well, your grandpa didn't go look for him?
A few years ago, a fortune-teller said that Grandpa had sinned too much
and was doomed to end up alone and die miserably.
Grandpa didn't believe him at first.
But within a few years, his children died of illness, one after another.
Before Tu Toutuo left, he was already going to quit the business.
He wasn't mad at having lost the information on the gold,
but at Tu Toutuo's betrayal. But thinking about it twice,
Tu Toutuo was a fugitive, he had no means of subsistence.
Even if Tu Toutuo had stayed, he would have been killed.
He stole the painting.
Perhaps, he could make a difference and live a better life.
After all, life was too hard on him.
Your grandpa was really a good man.
Yes. Grandpa had my dad late in his life.
But my dad was weak and ill, so he died young.
I couldn't speak until I was eight.
My grandpa always felt that such misfortune should have fallen on him.
That's fate.
Captain Yang, you believe in that?
I believe in myself more.
Me, too.
Grandpa treated me very well.
Gave me food and clothes.
He also left this to me.
This was grandpa's way to make a living.
He taught it to me.
Every time I perform the shadow plays,
it feels like Grandpa is still alive.
It's rare to see you not talking about money.
Storytelling is tiring.
How about rewarding me? Giving me some money?
You only see money!
Hongguo.
No--
Where are you going?
They left.
Hurry, there's no time.
The medicinal effect will fade away soon.
Wake up! Wake up Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
- Wake up! - Ghost!
Are you insane?
Am I still alive?
Where are we? Still in the stockade?
Er Bizi!
You're awake.
If you weren't, I was going to go get you a doctor!
This is a steamed bun, not a candle?
I'm still alive!
Or what?
It's daytime now. There's no ghost.
You really didn't find anything last night?
We searched the entire hill.
Didn't see anyone. He just disappeared.
That means he's very familiar with the terrain.
Another clue lost. What should we do?
Who told you it's lost?
First,
we've got to find if other entrances are here.
How did that man get in?
How? Like a sudden vision.
Yes. The Integrity Hall is just like a secret room.
But it may be just superficial.
The door was closed. But there might be other entrances and exits.
He climbed in through one of the windows?
That's impossible.
Look at the windows. They're all intact.
Then he must be a ghost.
There must be some places that we don't know about.
Guys, look carefully.
What worries me the most is Mr. Lu.
Did he also meet that man?
Let's go.
I'm dying.
Tell me what's going on, okay?
Who the hell are you?
Let me put this on,
but it may hurt.
Hang in there.
Sorry. Sorry. My older brother hit you too hard.
You shouldn't have irritated him.
What did you say?
Your older brother?
So you're...
Twins?
Yes.
I... I'm Zhao Yi.
The one who hurt you is my older brother.
He's Zhao Ren.
I've seen many twins.
But you two are so alike. I've never seen that.
You two are exactly the same.
Yes.
Since childhood, everyone says that we look alike.
But you have different characters.
Yours is much better than your brother's.
Actually, my brother is also very kind.
He just doesn't want other people to go to that stockade.
Why?
What's your relationship... with Ma Dianchen?
I can't tell you.
Tell me.
Please tell me.
No.
My brother is coming.
If he knows I've talked with you, he'll beat you again!
Right. Right. I know you're not a bad man.
I'll tell my brother... to let you go.
Don't leave.
Brother...
Brother, give it up.
You're wrong.
Useless mercy.
After so many years, why are you still so softhearted?
How much you've suffered because of that!
The professor down there is innocent.
Innocent?
Don't think I don't know that he's here for Brother Ma's stuff!
He... and those people in the stockade,
none of them are good!
Can't let them off!
Brother, what are you doing?
Put it down.
Step aside!
Brother--
Stop beating me, Brother.
I got to beat you to death!
Brother. Brother. Stop it, Brother.
Brother, stop it! Brother!
Who are you?
Are you... Zhao Yi or Zhao Ren?
Don't be afraid, I...
I... I'm Zhao Yi.
I'll let you go.
If my brother wakes up, we'll be in trouble.
I heard you fighting.
You stunned your brother?
Hurry, leave before he wakes up.
Okay. Okay.
Slowly. Slowly.
Listen. Once you leave, don't come back.
Don't go to that stockade!
Got it?
Once you leave, don't come back.
You got hurt?
It doesn't matter. Hurry, leave.
Hurry. Hurry.
Thank you.
Hurry, leave.
Hurry. Not that way!
Along this way. You go downhill.
Hurry, leave. Hurry.
- Thank you. - No need! Don't come back!
Hurry.
Leave.
[Blessings]
Keep running.
No.
Please, no.
Keep running.
My useless brother.
What a betrayal. Helping an outsider.
No, don't hurt him.
I begged him to let me go.
Care about your own self now.
Get up. Get up!
Get up!
No, you're...
Go!
- Hurry! - You're...
Hurry!
Find anything?
I've even climbed up trees nearby.
But I found nothing.
Any secret room?
Did I think it wrong?
No secret tunnels?
That's impossible.
Didn't you say there were rolling traces on the cliff last night?
How about checking it again?
Maybe there are some remaining clues.
Yes. Miss Cai Gua grew up on the mountain.
She's better at handling such a problem.
Let's go check it.
I'll stay in the stockade to keep looking.
You're not afraid of ghosts?
How could there be any ghosts in the daytime?
Fine. Fine. You're always right.
I'm right.
Let's split up and keep looking. Don't be afraid.
I won't.
Scream if you are.
Remember. Don't tell Zhang Baoqing about Tu Toutuo.
Captain, what could the secrets be in the Wonder Eagle painting mentioned by Shan?
I don't know.
But I guess that it must be a map of the route.
A map of the route?
Then, there's hope that we can find the Gold Kingdom, right?
Would the painting be in the stockade?
I don't think so.
If it's that important, Ma Dianchen would have taken it with him.
Here we are.
Let's go inside.
The door is open.
- Anybody? - Anybody?
Anybody?
Here's a bag.
Seems like it doesn't belong to Zhang Baoqing or the others.
Is someone else here?
Xiao Hongguo, hold this for me.
The Gold Kingdom?
Who are you?
Why did you take my notebook?
It's you.
Yours?
And who are you? Why you are here?
Any problem with it?
You were following us.
Really funny. Is this your stockade?
Captain, it may be a misunderstanding!
Misunderstanding?
We met on the train. Now we meet here again.
You think this place is an attraction like Tian'anmen Square and the Great Wall? Only a coincidence?
Moreover, she also studied the Gold Kingdom.
What do you want to do?
Since you said all that, you won't let me explain?
Tell me first why you are researching the Gold Kingdom?
None of your business. My notebook, give it to me!
Stop fighting!
Don't...
Stop fighting!
Your skills are not bad.
I don't want to fight with a woman. That's enough.
Defeat me first.
Still on, huh?
Stop it!
Stop it, you two!
Stop it! Stop!
Stop fighting! Stop it!
Sis, he is not an outsider. Stop it.
How is that?
You're right.
There are no rolling traces. Nothing but fake traces.
Seems that "ghost" is quite smart.
Even knows how to confuse us.
Now, it's more troublesome.
You mean what?
Think about it. He's agile and familiar with the terrain.
Moreover, he's also crafty. Hard to deal with him.
Zhang Baoqing, tonight, do we still need to stay in the stockade?
Of course. It can save us money.
What? Are you afraid?
No, I'm not.
Don't worry. There is no ghost.
Only someone pretending to be a ghost.
Let's go.
Endure it. Are you okay?
Hey.
Can't you see it clearly before you hit, Sis?
Sorry. I'll be careful next time.
Next time?!
I'm sorry.
You're really an archaeologist?
You bet I am.
Why are you studying the Gold Kingdom?
That is just one of my interests.
I read about it in an ancient book years ago. Then I began my research.
You also saw my notebook. It's not my only project.
I'm also studying something else like the jade suit. (A ritual burial suit from Han Dynasty)
Shall I report them all to you?
Sister Xuerong, you came to the stockade also about the Gold Kingdom?
Yes.
When I was studying the traditional houses nearby,
I found out by accident that there's some kind of unknown connection
between Ma Dianchen and the Gold Kingdom of Mt. Qianbai.
Based on that, I changed my route and came here.
Then, what have you found out?
Listen to me. According to my research,
the Gold Kingdom is actually buried deep underground.
- A tribe has guarded the gold for generations. It's very mysterious. No one can find it. - Guarded?
Yes, the ancient book also recorded that
the tribe of the Gold Kingdom established their city next to a gold vein,
but never took any of the gold.
It sounds like they were worshiping a deity.
That's also what I think.
How is that? Now, do you believe my words?
It's well-founded.
However, I can't completely believe you.
Never mind that. But...
To be fair, let's share information. Okay?
What has your geological team got?
I'm sorry. It's confidential information. Can't tell you.
If you still want to know, I'll suspect your intentions.
Then, I'll change the question.
Captain Yang, are you this hard on all girls?
When did they become so intimate?
What are you going to do?
What do you think, Miss?
Speaking of this...
I haven't seen the Captain treat any girl warmly.
He was just about to graduate when I got to university.
I saw a girl confess love to him on the playing field,
but he didn't even look at her.
Just walked away without ever looking back.
That girl was going to cry.
I-I... I'm sorry.
Did I say something wrong again?
Nothing wrong.
Being ruthless is better than fooling around.
Nonsense.
Where is the secret room? Show it to me.
The secret room is just ahead.
I've seen it before. Go there by yourself.
Ma Dianchen.
Xu.
Li.
Song.
Zhang.
Chen.
Why are these family names arranged so disorderly?
Lu Guohua's glasses.
He was here?
Blood.
There must be an exit.
Must be.
There really was an exit.
My brother hit you so hard.
Don't worry. He has gone to find some food. He won't come back for now.
He has gone to find some food.
He won't come back for now.
Hang in there. I'll go get some medicine for you.
Anybody home?
Wait for a second. Wait.
Anybody home?
Coming. Coming.
Who is that?
Hello. I'm just passing by. Surnamed Yang.
I want to get warm in your room.
Wait for a while.
Please come in. Please.
Come in. Have a seat.
- It's okay. - Come in. Just sit there.
I'm okay.
Let me get you a cup of water.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Who is that in there?
That's my older brother.
He is sick.
He's sleeping.
Young man, you are so porcelain-faced. (T/N: Pale-skinned, city dweller)
You're not a local, right? Why come to this mountain?
My family is in the ginseng business.
Luyun Town is famous for its ginseng.
So I came here to purchase some.
But I got lost. So...
You're so bold.
Dared to come into the mountains alone.
You didn't hear about the stockade?
I heard a little.
About Ma Dianchen...
Quite interesting.
You went there?
- No. I'm not that bold. - Oh...
Sir, usually, only you and your brother live there?
Yes. We're ginseng diggers.
For two single guys, it's convenient to live here.
I only found your house around here.
No, an old manager once lived here,
but he died years ago.
This is quite secluded.
If anything happens nearby, you would know it.
I'm old now, not that capable.
Young man, how about this?
I'll take you down the mountain.
Go. Go. Let's go.
Seems there is something wrong with your brother.
Never mind. He'll be better once he takes some medicine.
Actually, I know some medical skills.
No need. No.
My brother is afraid of strangers.
Well, you go down the mountain by yourself.
Just walk along the mountain road after you go out.
I won't send you off then.
Brother! Brother!
Go down the mountain. Now go.
Lu Guohua! Professor Lu!
- Lu Guohua! - Go down the hill.
- Lu Guohua. - Go.
Go. Leave here.
- Lu... -Go. Go.
What did you give me to drink?
What did you get?
The Wonder Eagle painting really exists.
Back then, Ma Dianchen found the Gold Kingdom using the painting.
Let's go to the stockade then. See our old friends.
Yang Ye.
Yang Ye! Wake up.
Yang Ye.
Lu Guohua.
It's me.
When you were talking just now,
I heard it all clearly.
But I had no strength; couldn't utter a word.
I didn't expect, you...
When were you caught?
About two days ago.
So you just arrived here a little earlier than me?
Maybe. I was in a daze.
Also, I heard Zhang Baoqing's voice.
Zhang Baoqing?
What the hell happened?
When I had just arrived in Luyun Town,
I heard that there was
a stockade of Ma Dianchen's on the hilltop.
So I went to look for it.
Then I found a secret room.
There was a row of memorial tablets
in the Integrity Hall.
Ma Dianchen's tablet is one of them.
I thought these may be the men
that followed Ma Dianchen to look for gold.
Weirder still,
below the altar,
there is a secret tunnel.
Then, the glasses I found in the secret tunnel
really belong to you.
Yes, they're mine.
One man attacked me.
He put me into a sack.
And thinking I was dead, he wanted to bury me.
But Zhang Baoqing bumped into us.
Stop!
What do you want to do?
You... You're still alive.
He didn't kill you.
That means he is not that vicious.
In the stockade, is it him who pretends to be a ghost?
Highly possible.
What's the relation between him and Ma Dianchen?
I don't know, he didn't tell me.
Really?
With us in this situation now,
do I need to lie to you?
Speaking of this. Just now,
when you're talking out there, how many people did you see?
How many?
He said that he has an older brother.
Yes, he did say that.
But I thought he was telling a lie.
Cooperate with me later.
Do mind your words.
What?
Don't say anything.
