Episode 26 Li Kui Carries His Mother

Brother Song, Song Jiang warned me over and over again

in case Li Kui gets into trouble on his way

He asked me not to follow, neither did he listen to me

What should I do?

I suppose you should go back to Mount Liang now to report it

and ask for reinforcements

If Li Kui's really captured by the government

it'll be too late to do anything

And I'll be too ashamed to meet Brother Song

Brother, calm down. Let me go investigate for now

Chief Warden Dai, what brings you here?

Song was worried about Li Kui, so he asked me to nose around

Sit down, please

Come out, Iron Ox! Li Kui! Get out!

Lord Yang! It's right here!

Where's Li Kui the outlaw?

Iron Ox, I can't see anything. Where are you carrying me to?

You'll know later, Mom

I'm taking you to somewhere abounding with food and drinks

or you'll suffer with my brother

Don't blame him. He's also my filial son

Mom

Mount Liang is awash with treasures

You can eat meat every day like it's the Spring Festival

Just see all the fellows there as your sons

And Brother Song, Song Jiang. He'll take care of you just as I do!

What you said is unbelievable

I'm telling the truth

That Brother Song is the best man in the world

He treats me like his biological brother

But what a pity that you can't see it

He must be a great man if he's really that kind to you

You'll know right after we go up the mountain

I only feel thirsty now. Go get me some water to drink, Iron Ox

I'm also pretty thirsty

But there's not a single house nearby

Let's go over this mountain to ask someone for food and water

And I'll find a cart to carry you

I can't be more thirsty now, and you're fatigued, too

Just fetch some water to drink, huh?

Mom, just hold on a little longer

I'm going to look for water now

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom?

Who killed my mom?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom…

Mom…

I've gone through trials and tribulations to pick you up

My poor mom!

You ate my mom, and I'll kill you all!

Wait a minute, tiger fighter!

-Come on, please -This way, please

Elder Cao

-Could I have your name, sir? -I'm Zhang

Just Zhang, and they call me Zhang the Bold

Brilliant, Zhang the Bold!

How could you manage to kill four tigers were you not bold!

Even if four more had come, I'd also have killed them all

-Prepare dishes and liquor! -Yes, sir!

Please stay in my manor for a few days

I'll report your feat to the county and help you ask for rewards

This man is Black Whirlwind, Li Kui

What to report? My mom's dead!

You must have got the wrong person!

Impossible! I saw him killing my husband!

Go draft an indictment first, and I'll go report it to Elder Cao

Get Li Kui drunk, tie him up, and take him to the County Yamen

What's wrong with you?

Brother! Brother! Bad news!

Brother Li's drunk and tied up in Cao's Manor

It's been reported to the County Yamen!

There are just you and me. How could we manage to save him?

The magistrate will have Yang Xiong escort him tomorrow morning

-That Sick Guan Suo, Yang Xiong? -Yes!

There they come! Pour some liquor

Sirs! Sirs, hold on, please…

Master! Thank you for your hard work

I've prepared a cup of liquor to show respect for you!

Many thanks, but we already drank a lot in Cao's Manor last night

I can't drink anymore

Master! Please come down!

With the felon arrested, you've walked such a long way

I assume you must be hungry

And we shall treat you and your men to some meat dishes and liquor

Right, sirs?

-Yeah… -Indeed…

Yes

my brother cares about you so much

Please just accept it

Master

Okay, put Li Kui down

Come to take charge of Lord Yang's horse

-Master, cheers! -Cheers

Enjoy yourselves…

You have loads of liquor! Why don't you let me have some?

You damned bastard! My liquor's not for someone on the death row

You jerk! I'll kill you!

-Get him out of here! -Come on! Move!

Move him away

I want liquor! Why don't you give me any liquor?

Let me go! I will kill all of you!

Come on, Master! Cheers!

-Okay! -Cheers

Freeze!

Brother Li! Please, no! Just leave as you please

Do not hurt my master

We'll run away, anyway. Just do it!

Which one of you dares to do it?

This is just between me and my master!

It's none of your business!

Honestly, we're here today to save a fellow Mount Liang brother

Sorry, but brotherhood always prevails

Master

That being the case, just join us in Mount Liang!

Do righteous things together. Enforce justice on behalf of Heaven

You… What are you doing?

Master!

You taught me to give priority to justice

If you don't agree, just make me his scapegoat

Iron Ox!

If you haven't made up your mind yet, then see you around!

If anything serious happens to you in the future

just come to me, Dry Land Alligator, Zhu Gui

There's always a place for you in Mount Liang

Let's go!

Leave now? Zhu Fu!

Yang Xiong?

I let a felon get away due to my oversight

I ought to pay the penalty. Please punish me, my lord

Yang Xiong, you've displeased quite a lot of people as a jailer

If I let you go, those people would definitely use this evidence

to prosecute me

In view of your conscientiousness

you'll be demoted from jailer to executioner

Thank you for your grace, my lord!

-Iron Ox -Iron Ox…

I lost my mom…

Iron Ox, pull yourself together

Brother Song has come to see you!

Iron Ox!

Just take it out on me

It's my fault that I didn't go with you to pick up your mom

Open the door, bro!

Open it, Iron Ox!

-Brother! -My brother

Don’t cry. Don’t

Iron Ox, it'll be okay

I lost my mom! I lost her!

-Come on… -It's your turn -Fill it up!

Look! Look over there! See that brutal jailer

He beat us whenever he saw us before

Never did I expect to see him hitting rock bottom! Tut!

It's my showtime

Come to drink with us, jailer

Thanks, but not today

I guess you're looking down on us, huh?

Hold on, jailer

Since you're being so formal, lend us ten strings of coins

I do know you, but never did I owe you any money

You've extorted much from many a civilian! Take it out!

Don't talk nonsense!

-Pay us, or you can't leave! -Tie him up!

-Let's do it! -Beat him!

Daredevil Third Brother Shi Xiu

Why are you beating this jailer?

You nasty beggar! How dare you meddle in our affairs?

Please spare my life, sir!

Let's go! Run!

Thank you for saving me

So you're the so-called Sick Guan Suo, Yang Xiong

Sir! Let me show my respect for you!

Hold on

You showed marvelous fighting skills when you helped me out today

Come on

-Could I have your name? -I've learned martial arts since young

And I'd risk my life to fight injustice

So they call me Daredevil Third Brother, Shi Xiu

Then why did you end up selling wood for a living?

I've suffered a lot due to my disposition

I heard scores of righteous men have been gathering in Mount Liang

They're all for upholding righteousness, and fighting for justice

To be frank with you, I want to join them

However, there's no one I can ask to recommend me

I do know someone

Your talents are wasted here. Why don't you go with me?

But, unless there's no other way, who's willing to be a bandit?

Besides, I still have a family to support

It might sound unbelievable, but now

I'm dirt-poor and homeless

You're such a good-looking and righteous man

Here's some money for you

Go open a butcher shop and make a fortune

Sir, this…

From now on, we're brothers, and my home is also yours

Well! Let me drink a toast to you, Brother!

-Cheers! -Cheers

Yang Xiong's Wife, Pan Qiaoyun

Monk, Pei Ruhai

Come in, please

I've been waiting for you for quite a long time, sis

I'm here to give thanks for Mom's fulfilled wish. Thanks, Senior

What are you looking at, Senior?

This way, please

Sis, don't you want to have a look at the Buddha's tooth relic?

Exactly

Please follow me to my room

Please

Your room looks so nice

But it doesn't look like a monk's residence

You're joking, sis

No wonder your chanting is so wonderful

It makes me feel as if I'm on cloud nine

I could chant for you exclusively in the future. How about that?

I'm afraid I don't deserve it

I've been waiting for you for two years, sis

Please! Today… Please grant my wish today

What monk are you!

Nice push

It's only what you deserve for your rudeness

Sis

Just slap me as you want

Don't you know I have a powerful husband?

If I tell him about it, he'll kill you

That Yang Xiong only has martial arts on his mind

He knows nothing about women's thoughts

Just go tell him as you please

What a bold monk!

Sis…

What's the rush, Senior Pei

Didn't you invite me to have a look at the Buddha's tooth relic?

Yeah…

Sis, here you are

It's my ex-husband, Clerk Wang's death anniversary in a few days

Could you come to my house

to chant for him that day?

Sure!

My poor ex-husband understood me and he was so tender

But… But he died young

Please come in, sir

-Senior Pei -Sis

Dear, this is my senior, Pei Ruhai, a monk in Bao'en Temple

Because his master is my family's follower

my father became his Godfather

He's two years older than me, so I call him Senior

His Buddhist name's Haigong, and he's here to chant for Clerk Wang

Thank you, sir

It's no big deal, so please don't mention it

Brother, I'm on duty in the prison tonight

Please take care of my family affairs for me

I'll handle them for you, so just rest assured when you're out

Okay. Let's go

-Mrs. Pan -This is my husband's brother

I'm preparing vegetarian food. Let me know if you need anything

He looks pretty fierce

Why are you laughing?

I laughed because you looked exactly like a wimp

Why do you think I'm a wimp?

With your consent, I dare to risk everything

Mrs. Pan!

What kind of vegetarian dishes do you want?

-Up to you -Okay

Flea on a Drum, Shi Qian

Who's there?

What an audacious thief! How dare you come here to steal?

No, please. I have some information for you

Who are you?

Actually, I'm Shi Qian, the so-called Flea on a Drum

You're really adept at burglary and running away

What do you want to tell me?

Unless you promise to let me go

That martial artist downstairs is your husband's brother, huh?

Yes, so what? He

was no more than a wanderer picked up

by my husband to be his sworn brother

Today, you fulfilled my wish

It's even worth dying for

But time feels short when you enjoy it

My husband's on duty in the prison every day

We can meet so long as you're willing to come

I'm even willing to give you my heart

But how could I get into this house?

How dare you slander my brother's wife? I'll kill you!

If you don't trust me, just look over there

See you around, sir!

Remember, after 7 p.m., if there's a candle at the back door

just come to me

But if not, you shouldn't come

If I do, you'll hear chanting and wooden fish beats in the alley

Just go back

Mr. Shi

You were up all night, right?

I'm keeping watch for my brother, so I dare not sleep

I've mended your clothes

Thank you, Mrs. Pan

If you have any need, just feel free to tell me

And you'll get everything

Mrs. Pan, these are your stuff, I guess

I made them specially for you

They're too good for me

Humph! What an ungrateful man!

Brother!

Brother Yang! Welcome back

I have something to tell you

What?

You must be exhausted after a night's work, darling

I've prepared some dishes and liquor in my room

-Come to take a rest first -Okay

-Brother Shi -Yes?

Come to have a drink with me in my room

Just enjoy yourself, Brother Yang. I need to go mind the store

Okay

Dear, you're always on duty at night, and I feel so lonely

Working for the government, I have no choice

Hope you can understand, dear

Then I'll have a few more drinks with you today, darling

Just let me drink with you

Why are you crying, dear?

My parents made me marry Clerk Wang back then

and hoped our union was for life

But unexpectedly, he left me alone in this world

I once thought you were a mighty man

But I didn't expect that you couldn't help me out

Did anyone bully or humiliate you?

I didn't plan to tell you, afraid that you wouldn't believe it

-and would even scold me instead -Just out with it

It is hard to fathom a person's mind

Ever since your brother, Shi Xiu started to live in our house

you've been on duty every night

So he just sexually harassed me!

If you dare ruin my brotherhood, I will kill you!

Considering your temper, I dare not lie!

If you still don't trust me

just kill me now

All right

I'm going to ask for an answer

No, please!

What?

Do not ruin your brotherhood because of me

If it's true, our brotherhood is shit!

Please don't go, dear

Shi Xiu is up to something

One day he'll speak ill of me

If he says nothing, then he's a good man

And just take what I said as nonsense out of thin air

Brother, I have something urgent to tell you

What's that?

I don't know how to say it

But I have to tell you! You're a brave and mighty man

But unfortunately, you're disgraced by someone

It even makes me feel ashamed

Who are you talking about?

You went on duty, while that woman had an affair with a monk!

-How did you know that? -I heard it with my own ears!

Hearing might not be true, and seeing is believing

That Flea on a Drum, Shi Qian saw it with his own eyes!

-Where's he? -Well…

In all conscience, I've been nice to you wholeheartedly!

Brother, what do you mean by this?

No wonder they say it is hard to fathom a person's mind

I saw you as a brave and upright man!

Never did I expect you…

…to covet my wife

Brother! How could you suspect me like that?

Did you believe in the nonsense that woman talked?

Enough!

I heard that woman making an agreement with the monk…

I said, enough!

Brother, what kind of person do you think I am?

Do you know how awful and nasty it is to harass a friend's wife?

It'll be so mean of me to kick you out

How foolish I was!

Don't bother! I will leave by myself!

I will leave!
