[The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Adapted from Weiyu's novel, The Seven Relics of ill Omen]

[Episode 22]

Chubby.

Chubby?

Chubby!

Help! Someone help me!

No, Qingshan, put the knife down.

- Stay back. - Drop the knife!

Just leave if you can't find your friends.

Why insist on throwing your life away?

But

my friends are here.

How can I just leave?

It wouldn't be right

if I left, right?

Alright then.

Is it too late

for me to leave now?

Where is he?

Over there.

Where's Mu Dai?

They're all dead.

What?

Say that again.

Where's Mu Dai?

I'll say it again.

They're all dead.

One was crushed into a pulp with rocks,

and the other was buried alive.

Yafeng.

Luo Ren.

Relax your body and don't move.

Or the dagger won't hold much longer.

Mu Dai, climb up.

Mu Dai, there's rope in my bag.

Take it out and tie it around my waist.

You go down first.

Why do you think

Yafeng took a liking to Qingshan?

She always said she wanted to marry someone rich.

Who knows?

Maybe she got tired of playing around

and wanted to settle down with a decent man.

You know what? I heard

Yafeng came on to Qingshan.

Really?

What does she see in him?

Did Qingshan cast some kind of spell on her?

Does it hurt?

If it does, look away.

What's wrong?

Will my fingers break?

No.

There.

You always come prepared with all the right gear.

Old habit.

Better safe than sorry.

This new bandaging feels much better.

Looks like they're wearing little hats now.

Ouch.

They really saved us this time.

When we get back,

I'm going to pamper them with hand cream every day.

And maybe even get a nice manicure.

Mu Dai,

thank you for saving me earlier.

If it weren't for you,

I might have fallen to my death.

See?

I can save you too, right?

I can protect you as well, can't I?

Don't mention it.

Ren,

I just hope nothing ever happens to you.

How did you fall down here?

Me?

I heard someone screaming for help.

Then I was lured here.

I saw Chubby tied up,

with something in his mouth.

That's when I knew someone was in the cave.

I tried to hit him with a rock.

He was hiding behind that rock.

The moment I took aim,

the ground gave way beneath me.

Same old trick.

So this whole thing was staged by Qingshan.

Yafeng is his accomplice.

Yafeng?

Earlier, Qingshan dragged Yafeng in at knifepoint.

I saved Yafeng.

And guess what?

She's the one who pushed me down.

Then

could they...?

Chubby is still up there.

Why would Qingshan

go this far to hurt us?

We've never done anything to him.

And Chubby is his cousin.

What do you think?

The relic of ill omen.

I tested Yafeng with blood.

She didn't react.

Qingshan probably didn't use the power of the relic of ill omen

to control her mind.

Maybe

just simple brainwashing.

What about Chubby?

Do you think they'll hurt him?

Don't worry.

Right now, he's probably the safest one.

The pitfall trap he set for us

was meant to kill.

But with him,

so far, it's just restraints.

Maybe he's sparing him

out of family ties.

But right now,

I'm most worried about Thirteen-Thousand.

What if he...?

I was just saying.

I just feel like we're trapped here

with no way out,

and no way to save him.

What if we never get out?

Don't lose hope.

Think about it.

Even stuck in this hopeless place,

you're still fighting to survive.

I believe

they're doing the same.

Don't forget,

we still have Hongsha.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Excuse me,

how much farther is it

to Cao Village?

Cao Village?

It rained heavily last night.

The road collapsed.

Just go straight along this path.

It should take about two hours.

- Two hours? - Two hours?

Yeah.

That's way too far.

Shouldn't have come.

Right?

Sir,

Where's the collapsed road you just talked about?

I'd like to ask

if I can climb over the mountain to get into the village?

Climb over the mountain?

Yes.

Young lady, you've got some nerve.

That's so dangerous.

It rained heavily last night.

There could be falling rocks everywhere.

Better stick to the main road.

It's safer.

Would I get lost taking the mountain path?

Not really.

Height gives you perspective.

If you lose your way,

just climb to the highest point.

You'll spot Cao Village for sure.

Got it, thanks.

Be careful.

Someone was buried by the mudslide.

Thirteen-Thousand?

Thirteen-Thousand.

Thirteen-Thousand!

Thirteen-Thousand!

Thirteen-Thousand.

Thirteen-Thousand!

Thirteen-Thousand.

Oh my gosh.

You're awake.

Are you alright?

How are you feeling?

Just survived a brush with death,

only to wake up to this horror scene.

Almost scared me to death again.

Got any water?

Yeah.

Easy, easy.

What are you doing here?

Luo Ren called, saying you'd all lost contact.

He entered the village yesterday.

Now I can't reach him either.

I hadn't even arrived yet.

I'd just entered the village

and met you halfway.

Right.

Qingshan...

Something's wrong with Qingshan.

The relic of ill omen

might be inside him.

Dai?

Dai?

Look at you, completely useless in a fight.

The relic of ill omen might be inside him.

I couldn't go head-to-head with him.

I had to rely on brains instead.

What brilliant strategy did you use?

I...

Such as cutting his power base,

substituting crucial parts,

and making a secret move.

I...

Ah, forget it.

I played dead.

I tried climbing out later,

but I was too weak

and got buried again.

So, when you woke up and found yourself in Luo Ren's car,

were you overjoyed?

Thirteen-Thousand.

Hang in there.

Please don't die.

Thirteen-Thousand!

Thirteen-Thousand!

Not really.

What do you mean, "not really"?

Who in their right mind

would be overjoyed to see themselves

in such a creepy look after waking up?

I even thought I'd gone to heaven

and been mummified.

And Fiery, no offense,

but your bandaging skills...

Dockworkers packing cargo

do a neater job than this.

Don't hit me. Don't.

Everything hurts. Spare me.

See?

If I don't teach you a lesson,

the heavens will.

Yeah, I'm sloppy. You're the meticulous one.

The most meticulous.

Then unwrap it

and do it yourself.

You're amazing at this. The best.

I love your bandaging style.

Thinking back now,

the day Dai lost contact with Luo Ren

was probably when she got into trouble too.

So what do we do now?

Call the police?

With what evidence?

Everyone in Cao Village will side with Qingshan.

Who'd believe the two of us?

Our top priority

is finding Luo Ren.

Are you sure the relic of ill omen is inside Qingshan?

Not a hundred percent,

but he's definitely up to no good.

And doesn't this feel different

from before?

Like we've been set up.

First, Chubby

was lured back to Cao Village by a letter,

then went missing.

Then Dai and I came looking for him.

All we did was buy some insurance.

We didn't piss anyone off,

yet someone's trying to kill us.

Now Dai's missing too.

Then Luo Ren went into the village to look for us.

He also went missing.

Lucky for you.

You didn't just go straight into Cao Village.

Or you'd have been fooled

by Qingshan's harmless face

and ended up just like the others,

missing.

I'm setting an alarm.

Is that necessary?

Dark, confined spaces

can cloud your judgment

and push you toward emotional collapse.

That's why keeping a routine matters.

I've already checked all the spots

you just looked for.

The only way out is up there.

Really?

I'm starving.

Tighten your belt will make you feel less hungry.

Try this.

Sure.

It's really much comfier than lying on the ground.

But aren't the mesh holes a bit too big?

What if I fall through?

Did I say

this was for you?

It's not for me?

Then where do I sleep?

Here.

We'll sleep together?

Madam Hong always taught me

that girls shouldn't stay out overnight,

let alone sleep next to boys.

Suit yourself.

But

desperate times

call for flexible rules.

Do you like xiaolongbao?

The ones with shrimp filling.

With a touch of crab roe.

Juicy filling wrapped in thin skin.

Slurp up the soup through a straw.

Delicious.

I want to have roast duck.

Crispy skin and tender meat.

Stop.

Now you're making me hungry.

Just sleep.

Maybe there'll be food

tomorrow.

You're treating me like a kid.

My poor stomach.

It's never been this empty in my life.

Let me see.

Does it hurt?

Luo Ren,

don't take advantage of the situation.

♪Gazing at each other's burning teardrops♪

Fine, I won't.

Now sleep.

♪Together we brave the storms of adversity, oh♪

This rope bed is perfect in every way.

If only the ropes were a bit softer.

They hurt my head.

♪This fickle fate♪

Lift your head.

♪Is like a cliff of thorns♪

♪Through the pain we march on♪

Better now?

♪Dreams arrive where perseverance holds fast♪

Sleep.

♪See our future, I believe, I believe, I believe love's horizon awaits♪

♪Just want to slowly love you with all my hope, oh♪

[Alarm clock, Snooze]

♪Through all the time we've spent together♪

♪Countless memories forever♪

Why are you looking at me like that?

Mu Dai,

you know what?

You snored and drooled

when you were sleeping last night.

What?

That's nonsense.

Really.

Never mind. I'll stop teasing you.

Get up and stretch a bit.

Time to eat.

You're making empty promises.

Where's the food?

Close your eyes.

Don't peek.

Open your mouth.

Chocolate?

A little snack won't fill you up.

But it's better than nothing.

Then why didn't you bring it out last night?

I was starving back then.

We don't know how long we'll be trapped here.

Of course we need to ration.

Fine.

Did you eat any?

I did.

Did you sleep well last night?

Not bad.

Sleeping on ropes beats sleeping in water.

In water?

It rained the night before last.

I woke up

in the middle of the night

only to find myself lying in a puddle.

Luckily, the water receded after the rain stopped.

Did the water recede quickly?

The water here came from seepage.

This place is all soil.

And there probably aren't many rocks underneath.

That's why the water could seep through so fast.

This cave goes deep.

Judging by the mountain's height,

it should be close to the surface.

If it's all soil below,

that means

we can dig.

Dig what?

A path.

A tunnel?

How many years would that take?

Are we really going to dig?

Yes.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello.

And you are...?

Is this Jenny Cao's place?

You mean Jinhua?

Yes.

Yes, it is.

Jenny! Jenny!

Your boss is here to see you!

Boss!

Boss?

Hurry up.

I'm Maria.

I'm the local manager of the Central Region

for Atlantic Life Insurance Company.

Hello.

Central Region?

Local manager?

Ma...

Madam Maria.

Madam Maria, what brings you here?

Have a seat.

Alright.

Here's the thing.

Our customer service department

received a call from a client named Henry.

He said he wanted to buy insurance for himself and his siblings.

He specified you as his agent.

I couldn't get through to your phone.

After asking colleagues in Yan City, I learned

you were attending a wedding in your hometown.

I was afraid the client might go elsewhere if we kept him waiting,

so I came personally.

I've brought the client's documents and requirements

to help you tailor the insurance plans.

This...

This is really appreciated.

Thank you so much for coming personally.

So heartwarming.

This is the power of our team.

Madam, please enjoy your tea.

I'll go check the client details inside.

Take your time.

Jenny.

Yes, ma'am?

This village looks festive.

Preparing for a wedding?

Yes.

I've never seen a wedding with so many flowers.

In the city, weddings are all handled

by wedding planning companies.

They end up looking the same.

Yours here in the mountains is better.

It's unique.

Exactly.

We have lots of traditional rituals

for weddings in the mountains.

Just the banquet alone lasts three days.

Banquet?

Yes.

Now that you mention it,

I am a little hungry.

Then

stay for the feast, ma'am.

Would that be alright?

Of course.

The more, the merrier. Just an extra seat.

I really shouldn't impose.

At least stay for a toast.

Stay for a toast.

Why are there four armchairs there?

The bride and groom were both orphans.

Those armchairs

will stand in for their parents.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

When will the newlyweds make their entrance?

Right from here.

Soon the groom will receive the memorial tablet from here.

After that, he can fetch the bride.

Memorial tablet?

Yes.

It's our tradition.

There's an ancient memorial tablet

kept by the eldest villager.

For every wedding,

a boy under seven

fetches it from the elder's place.

After that,

he follows the gong bearer,

circling the village with the tablet.

Finally, it's presented to the groom.

The newlyweds must honor the tablet

before bowing to heaven and earth.

[Resting Hut]

I see.

Dear,

quick.

Have you seen Qingshan?

Haven't seen him.

Eat up.

Jinhua.

Jinhua.

Have you seen Qingshan?

No.

The memorial tablet's about to arrive,

but Qingshan's missing.

Come help me look for him.

Alright, sure.

Madam, have a seat.

I need to find someone.

Come here!

Look for Qingshan.

Help me search for Qingshan.

Go now.

I'll check here.

Zhu's mom!

Stop drinking.

Help me find Qingshan.

Hurry!

Move it.

Today's my wedding day.

We're cousins after all.

Even if you can't join the banquet,

I'd like you to be there.

You are my cousin.

- Pudgy? - In a couple of days,

I'll see if I can let you go.

But I can only guarantee your safety.

As for the others, there's nothing I can do to help.

Qingshan.

Jinhua.

The tablet's ready. Where were you?

Just checking if everything's prepared.

I'm coming now.

Hurry up!

This rock is man-made.

Once we remove this one,

the rest should be easier.

Mu Dai, come look.

These rocks are arranged in intentional layers.

The gaps between the upper rocks

align with the surfaces of the lower rocks.

So if you thrust a knife into the gap,

it will still hit rock below.

So someone purposely stacked them like this?

Then there might really be an exit below.

Mu Dai,

I'm the one who found this exit.

You

go climb over there.

No way.

Still think digging our way out is a joke?

Not anymore.

Then you take over the digging.

I'm tired.

Poor me.

My boyfriend is making me dig through rocks.

My hands are going to break.

Fine, move aside.

Ren,

I really like you.

Is it good?

I'm full now.

Now I'm full of energy.

Time to prove myself.

No rock lifting.

Take it easy. Your fingers haven't healed.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.
