I'm seeing her later.

193
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,690
What gift should I bring?

194
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,810
She's a seamstress.

195
00:14:58,110 --> 00:15:00,210
Give her a fine bolt of silk.

196
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,850
I'm sure she'll like it.

197
00:15:02,630 --> 00:15:03,690
But a surprise

198
00:15:04,590 --> 00:15:05,460
shows more thought.

199
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,410
The clothes look good.

200
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:18,290
Of course.

201
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:19,930
You made them.

202
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:23,530
You aren't so bad either.

203
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:25,500
Of course not.

204
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:27,460
You picked me.

205
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:58,260
So mushy.

206
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,810
He said he'd bring her something.

207
00:17:00,830 --> 00:17:02,100
Look at those empty hands.

208
00:17:02,590 --> 00:17:03,500
He already did.

209
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,140
Goodbye.

210
00:17:19,110 --> 00:17:20,140
This is for you.

211
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,780
Is this the gift you prepared

212
00:17:28,350 --> 00:17:29,140
for my departure?

213
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:31,970
I don't know what you like.

214
00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:35,490
Anyway, the world is wide.

215
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:37,210
In the days to come,

216
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,580
take care of yourself.

217
00:17:39,670 --> 00:17:40,860
Don't let hatred bind you anymore.

218
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,380
I will remember it.

219
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,620
All these years in Chang'an,

220
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,340
meeting you

221
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,170
has been my greatest fortune.

222
00:17:58,100 --> 00:17:58,950
Mine as well.

223
00:18:24,190 --> 00:18:25,100
I came to see off my friend.

224
00:18:25,390 --> 00:18:26,380
It's fine that you came along,

225
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,140
but why is he here too?

226
00:18:32,410 --> 00:18:33,060
Yes.

227
00:18:33,910 --> 00:18:34,820
If no one watches him

228
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,410
and he runs off,

229
00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:37,540
he'll be a corpse

230
00:18:38,190 --> 00:18:39,650
when we find him again.

231
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:43,650
You really can't say a single kind word.

232
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,890
I thought you were going to propose,

233
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,450
so I came to back you up.

234
00:18:48,830 --> 00:18:49,540
Who knew

235
00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:51,170
you'd just send her away?

236
00:18:52,110 --> 00:18:52,890
Why do you all think

237
00:18:52,890 --> 00:18:54,020
I came to propose?

238
00:18:54,940 --> 00:18:56,450
Do I look like someone who is sentimental?

239
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,060
I'm a swordsman.

240
00:18:59,310 --> 00:19:00,170
A swordsman!

241
00:19:00,310 --> 00:19:01,660
My life hangs by a thread every day.

242
00:19:02,070 --> 00:19:03,330
Someone like me

243
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,220
can love many women.

244
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,980
Fine, I admit it.

245
00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:16,570
I do like her.

246
00:19:17,030 --> 00:19:18,300
But she came to Chang'an alone

247
00:19:18,830 --> 00:19:20,330
for revenge and nothing else.

248
00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:23,680
How much room would there be

249
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,610
in her heart for me?

250
00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:26,850
Besides,

251
00:19:27,750 --> 00:19:29,240
I don't want her following me

252
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,610
into danger after danger.

253
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,890
It's better

254
00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:35,370
to let go.

255
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,330
The world is wide.

256
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,850
If fate allows, we'll meet again.

257
00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:47,610
Come on.

258
00:20:01,390 --> 00:20:02,410
Besides Xiaoqing,

259
00:20:02,830 --> 00:20:04,020
do you have

260
00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:05,780
any other friends in Chang'an?

261
00:20:06,830 --> 00:20:07,780
When I was a student,

262
00:20:07,910 --> 00:20:09,450
I had a few classmates I could talk to.

263
00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:12,210
But most of them

264
00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:14,620
took up official positions,

265
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,780
and we gradually lost touch.

266
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,210
Xiaoqing is your messenger,

267
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,890
but we get along well.

268
00:20:22,910 --> 00:20:23,890
Having one or two people

269
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,580
you truly connect with

270
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,450
is enough.

271
00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:29,860
Aside from painting,

272
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,250
what else

273
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:34,690
do you do?

274
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,690
I like the hustle and bustle of the marketplace.

275
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,820
Watching people buy vegetables,

276
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,140
buy meat,

277
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,860
and choose clothes

278
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:47,580
is interesting enough

279
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,690
to me.

280
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,620
Sometimes, I run into an old man

281
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:55,860
playing the flute on the street.

282
00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:58,540
When I do, I sit beside him

283
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:00,930
and listen from dusk

284
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,300
until night falls.

285
00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:06,450
Before Mr. Yang's death,

286
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,020
the Chang'an I saw

287
00:21:11,150 --> 00:21:11,890
was ordinary

288
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,860
and real.

289
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,650
I came to Chang'an by chance.

290
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,020
After what happened in the reed marsh,

291
00:21:22,830 --> 00:21:24,140
my parents sought help everywhere

292
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:25,920
and finally sent me here to study.

293
00:21:26,670 --> 00:21:27,340
It was, in truth,

294
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,250
to shield me from danger.

295
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,340
As I grew older,

296
00:21:32,350 --> 00:21:33,450
they finally felt safe

297
00:21:33,830 --> 00:21:35,380
letting me live here on my own.

298
00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:39,580
Your family

299
00:21:41,390 --> 00:21:42,930
must miss you very much.

300
00:21:43,670 --> 00:21:44,380
Yes.

301
00:21:46,350 --> 00:21:47,620
We haven't met for a year or two.

302
00:21:48,830 --> 00:21:49,650
I miss them.

303
00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:52,620
I should go home and see them.

304
00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:54,650
Having family

305
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:56,730
and people you care about

306
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,060
is a fortunate thing.

307
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,140
If you hadn't kept in touch with me,

308
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,490
those trying to kill me

309
00:22:10,110 --> 00:22:11,300
would never have found you.

310
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,240
Seven years ago,

311
00:22:14,090 --> 00:22:15,150
in the reed marsh,

312
00:22:16,490 --> 00:22:17,490
your parents

313
00:22:19,500 --> 00:22:21,160
nearly lost their daughter.

314
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,340
I understand

315
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,300
what you're saying.

316
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:34,690
But I'm

317
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:35,860
a simple person.

318
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,820
If I want to leave,

319
00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:40,690
it's because I want to leave.

320
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,170
It has nothing to do

321
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,820
with whether Chang'an is safe.

322
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,380
And if I want to stay,

323
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,730
no one

324
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,890
can drive me away.

325
00:22:57,390 --> 00:22:58,060
Wan,

326
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,140
you're as stubborn

327
00:23:02,830 --> 00:23:03,780
as when you were a child.

328
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,620
But this time,

329
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,690
I truly must go.

330
00:23:16,190 --> 00:23:17,300
With my teacher gone,

331
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,780
my parents and sister are surely worried about me.

332
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:21,210
I have to go home

333
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:23,890
so they know I'm safe.

334
00:23:37,350 --> 00:23:38,450
From when we met seven years ago

335
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,860
until our reunion now,

336
00:23:41,870 --> 00:23:43,780
your life has been filled with blood and danger.

337
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,210
This painting of you

338
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,410
represents my wish for you.

339
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:51,930
I hope you can tend flowers,

340
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:53,890
keep a cat,

341
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,730
nap on the porch,

342
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,340
and live a peaceful life,

343
00:24:01,150 --> 00:24:02,450
even for just one day.

344
00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:12,300
I don't have the time

345
00:24:13,110 --> 00:24:13,860
to live like this

346
00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:16,020
for a full day,

347
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:18,060
but even half a day

348
00:24:19,150 --> 00:24:19,970
would be something.

349
00:24:48,050 --> 00:24:48,980
Mutton!

350
00:24:48,980 --> 00:24:49,750
What would you like?

351
00:24:49,990 --> 00:24:51,220
Fresh mutton!

352
00:24:51,740 --> 00:24:52,720
Sesame seed cakes!

353
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,950
Hot sesame seed cakes!

354
00:24:53,950 --> 00:24:55,260
All fresh out of the oven!

355
00:24:55,740 --> 00:24:56,270
Sesame seed cakes!

356
00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:57,800
Sir, how much for the cakes?

357
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:58,490
Two wen each.

358
00:24:59,130 --> 00:24:59,840
I'll take two.

359
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:00,560
All right.

360
00:25:01,450 --> 00:25:02,120
Here are your cakes.

361
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:03,240
Thank you.

362
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:04,480
Here you are, miss.

363
00:25:05,180 --> 00:25:05,760
Here you go.

364
00:25:05,980 --> 00:25:06,950
Thank you.

365
00:25:08,780 --> 00:25:09,190
All right.

366
00:25:09,330 --> 00:25:09,910
Here.

367
00:25:10,180 --> 00:25:10,720
All right.

368
00:25:10,780 --> 00:25:11,520
Come again.

369
00:25:13,330 --> 00:25:13,800
Come on.

370
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:17,690
The dishes are ready.

371
00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:19,250
Coming!

372
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,820
This courtyard hasn't been this lively in a long time.

373
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:22,820
- Here. - Thank you.

374
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:24,250
Not true.

375
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,490
When he was

376
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,020
injured here last time,

377
00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:28,820
the place was crawling with Imperial Guards.

378
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:29,540
It was...

379
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:34,930
Now,

380
00:25:35,590 --> 00:25:37,020
Bai Wan is leaving tomorrow.

381
00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:37,930
Let's have

382
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,340
a proper gathering tonight

383
00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:40,300
before she leaves.

384
00:25:40,910 --> 00:25:41,340
Cheers.

385
00:25:43,630 --> 00:25:45,540
Things had just started getting better for me...

386
00:25:45,540 --> 00:25:46,470
Drink your wine.

387
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,730
Why so much nonsense?

388
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,930
Complete your missions,

389
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,620
and your good days will come.

390
00:26:02,350 --> 00:26:02,930
Eat.

391
00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:07,340
I'm relieved to hear you say that.

392
00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:09,060
In your letters,

393
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,020
you always wrote that you were alone.

394
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,930
Now you have friends around you.

395
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,620
I'll see you off tomorrow.

396
00:26:21,150 --> 00:26:21,690
So will I.

397
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:22,960
I...

398
00:26:27,910 --> 00:26:28,890
I'm at your command.

399
00:26:33,150 --> 00:26:35,250
I'm glad you'll see me off.

400
00:26:36,110 --> 00:26:37,250
But I still feel reluctant to leave

401
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,970
and somewhat regretful.

402
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,780
Nanwei Trough isn't far.

403
00:26:41,150 --> 00:26:42,540
It's not like you can't come back.

404
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,300
My regret

405
00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:49,250
is that I didn't find my family in Chang'an.

406
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,820
But I've come to understand now

407
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,140
that in a city this vast,

408
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,380
I may never find him

409
00:26:57,430 --> 00:26:58,340
in this lifetime.

410
00:27:04,750 --> 00:27:05,940
I've been carrying a secret

411
00:27:06,830 --> 00:27:08,330
that only my parents

412
00:27:08,830 --> 00:27:10,060
and sister know.

413
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:12,700
I was not born to my parents.

414
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,300
They took me in.

415
00:27:16,550 --> 00:27:18,060
When I was very young,

416
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,820
in a bitter winter,

417
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,780
a man brought me to the reed marsh.

418
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,060
I can no longer remember his face,

419
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:27,540
his age,

420
00:27:28,030 --> 00:27:29,850
or whether he was my father,

421
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,650
uncle,

422
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,810
or brother.

423
00:27:36,510 --> 00:27:37,460
I only remember

424
00:27:38,110 --> 00:27:38,700
that he told me

425
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,020
he was going to get a bowl of hot soup,

426
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,130
so we

427
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,810
wouldn't starve to death.

428
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,890
It was so cold

429
00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:51,610
and so late.

430
00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:54,850
I waited a long time.

431
00:27:56,030 --> 00:27:58,780
Brother, I'm so hungry.

432
00:27:59,630 --> 00:28:00,540
Come on.

433
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,210
Hold on a little longer.

434
00:28:02,870 --> 00:28:03,540
We're

435
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,580
almost there.

436
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,250
Then I will

437
00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:10,250
find you something to eat,

438
00:28:10,670 --> 00:28:11,690
all right?

439
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:21,300
Sister.

440
00:28:21,630 --> 00:28:22,140
Hey.

441
00:28:22,630 --> 00:28:23,300
Listen.

442
00:28:24,390 --> 00:28:25,730
Stay here and wait for me.

443
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,540
I'll go look for some hot soup

444
00:28:27,670 --> 00:28:28,620
and something to eat.

445
00:28:29,150 --> 00:28:30,860
Once you're full, you won't feel cold,

446
00:28:30,860 --> 00:28:31,520
[Young Bai Wan]

447
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,690
and we can keep going.

448
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,410
If someone comes,

449
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:35,890
hide in the reeds.

450
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,490
Don't make a sound,

451
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,170
and don't run away.

452
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,780
I'll be back soon.

453
00:28:41,630 --> 00:28:42,410
Do you understand?

454
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:45,380
Wrap yourself well.

455
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:46,780
Now get inside.

456
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,730
I saw a light

457
00:29:04,630 --> 00:29:05,730
in the distance.

458
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,020
It was so far away,

459
00:29:10,190 --> 00:29:11,730
yet somehow I felt

460
00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:14,970
it could warm me.

461
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,020
So I walked toward the house

462
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,970
where that light was shining.

463
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,730
That is my earliest memory.

464
00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:30,380
From then on,

465
00:29:30,870 --> 00:29:32,970
I became the younger daughter of that family.

466
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,170
They told me the truth about my origins,

467
00:29:36,270 --> 00:29:37,740
yet still treated me as their own.

468
00:29:38,550 --> 00:29:39,500
My sister

469
00:29:40,550 --> 00:29:41,890
treated me with great kindness.

470
00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:44,170
But I know

471
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,740
and remember

472
00:29:50,270 --> 00:29:51,700
that I was the one who left him behind.

473
00:29:56,550 --> 00:29:57,850
I chose to leave.

474
00:30:00,330 --> 00:30:01,610
And the price was

475
00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:04,940
losing my only family member,

476
00:30:08,550 --> 00:30:10,130
forgetting my roots,

477
00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:12,510
my surname,

478
00:30:13,830 --> 00:30:15,060
and my given name,

479
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,980
and never knowing

480
00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:19,890
whether the family who lost their daughter

481
00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:21,980
would go on

482
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,700
to live a good life.

483
00:30:26,790 --> 00:30:28,020
That is my regret.

484
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,980
My life

485
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:31,980
began

486
00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:33,370
with a wrong parting.

487
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,540
Life

488
00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:39,980
is not just made of mistakes.

489
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,090
Sometimes just staying alive

490
00:30:43,030 --> 00:30:44,220
is a kind of fortune.

491
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,090
I'm fine.

492
00:30:59,110 --> 00:31:00,300
Years have passed.

493
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,260
When I was unconscious,

494
00:31:16,790 --> 00:31:17,890
I vaguely heard

495
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,460
that this protective charm was something you had carried

496
00:31:20,550 --> 00:31:21,940
since you were old enough to remember.

497
00:31:22,830 --> 00:31:23,610
Perhaps

498
00:31:24,510 --> 00:31:26,690
it is your only link to your original family.

499
00:31:27,550 --> 00:31:28,650
You are about to travel far.

500
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,130
Take it back.

501
00:31:31,030 --> 00:31:32,130
Keep it with you,

502
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,700
as if your family is still by your side.

503
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:50,610
Why do you all

504
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,610
look so down?

505
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:53,460
Come on.

506
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,610
Raise your cups.

507
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,460
Bai Wan leaves tomorrow.

508
00:31:56,830 --> 00:31:59,090
May she be safe and well,

509
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,370
and may everything go her way.

510
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:25,780
Sister!

511
00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:27,200
Sister!

512
00:32:27,770 --> 00:32:29,190
Look what I brought...

513
00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:34,460
Sister?

514
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:36,740
Sister!

515
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,130
Sister!

516
00:32:48,090 --> 00:32:49,610
Sister!

517
00:32:49,860 --> 00:32:50,870
You must be starving.

518
00:32:51,090 --> 00:32:51,880
Eat this first.

519
00:32:52,050 --> 00:32:53,780
I'll heat a bowl of noodle soup for you.

520
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:56,810
Here.

521
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:58,810
Eat.

522
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,320
Wait, wash your hands first.

523
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,080
Stay with us for now.

524
00:33:01,350 --> 00:33:03,380
- We'll look for your family. - Your hands are ice cold.

525
00:33:03,380 --> 00:33:04,930
- If we can't find them, - Put your hands in.

526
00:33:04,930 --> 00:33:06,800
- then you'll be our child. - Try one.

527
00:33:08,030 --> 00:33:08,980
Slow down.

528
00:33:10,030 --> 00:33:10,830
Have another bite.

529
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,770
- You must be starving. - Your face is all red.

530
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:14,570
Slow down...

531
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,650
Don't choke.

532
00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:31,690
Huai'an,

533
00:33:32,670 --> 00:33:34,210
even as an outsider, I can't stand watching this.

534
00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:35,410
Are you really not going

535
00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:36,450
to tell Bai Wan you're her brother?

536
00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:38,540
Turns out she's been carrying

537
00:33:38,540 --> 00:33:39,730
this regret all this time.

538
00:33:40,430 --> 00:33:41,820
Why don't you just tell her

539
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,100
you've been

540
00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:44,690
guarding her in secret

541
00:33:45,150 --> 00:33:45,970
all these years?

542
00:33:55,110 --> 00:33:55,620
Let's go.

543
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:41,910
[My sister is returning. Eliminate the remnant.]

544
00:34:41,910 --> 00:34:43,120
"My sister is returning.

545
00:34:43,850 --> 00:34:44,990
Eliminate the remnant."

546
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:04,940
This one.

547
00:35:05,110 --> 00:35:05,900
Into the water?

548
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,070
Into the earth.

549
00:35:09,270 --> 00:35:10,170
How's

550
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,780
your mood today?

551
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,650
Do I get cooked

552
00:35:15,590 --> 00:35:17,100
or raw food?

553
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,370
Back then,

554
00:35:32,750 --> 00:35:35,370
you wouldn't even spare a little girl.

555
00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:39,140
These years buried in the earth

556
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,540
are the punishment her brother gave you.

557
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,330
It ends today.

558
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,900
It's been seven years.

559
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,420
I can finally die.

560
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,810
Your family gave me so much care all those years.

561
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,220
Now I've finally repaid the debt.

00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:40,780
Watching people buy vegetables,

577
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,050
buy meat,

578
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:43,780
and choose clothes

579
00:37:44,510 --> 00:37:45,570
is interesting enough

580
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,380

Sometimes, I run into an old man

589
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,610
playing the flute on the street.

590
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,060
When I do,

591
00:38:15,750 --> 00:38:16,810
I sit beside him

592
00:38:17,590 --> 00:38:18,500

Xie Huai'an is unbelievable.

599
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,130
I can tolerate his strange temper,

600
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:48,570
but how can he not come and see her off?

601
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:51,170
Huai'an doesn't like saying goodbye in person.

602
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,290
But don't worry.

603
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:53,420
He'll always keep you in his thoughts.

604
00:38:55,210 --> 00:38:56,370
You don't need to comfort me.

605
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,500
I know what he's like.

606
00:39:00,110 --> 00:39:01,420
