Second Home

What is it?

Iron Abacus Ting Erh-ma

has an urgent message for our boss

Hand it over!

Yes.

Ting Erh-ma has a message.

We`ll have business.

Let`s go to see the boss!

Boss!

What is it?

Ting Erh-ma sends you a message.

Please have a look!

Hand it over!

What does that mean?

We`ll have big money...

sun in the middle-noon

Sixth is sixth day of this month.

The place is San-li Slope.

The flag bears Te-wei Security Service.

50 straws means 50,000 dollars.

That is to say...

500,000 bucks passing through San-li Slope.

Yes.

Heard that Hung Te-wei

is pretty tough.

He is a top swordsman.

People nickname him Steel Fly.

He`s no common guy.

Shall we do it, Boss?

Why should we give it up?

That old chap is pretty smart.

You guys can`t handle him.

I`ll go myself.

When shall we set out, Boss?

Today is the fifth.

Let`s get going right away!

It`s awfully hot.

Yes, it is.

Dad, it`s nearly noon.

We find a place & give them a rest.

San-li Slope is just ahead.

There`s a well. We`ll take a rest there.

Yes.

Hurry up. We`ll have a rest there.

Hurry up. We`ll have a rest there.

Dad, look!

Robbers!

Everybody split up!

Split up!

I am Hung Te-wei from Che-kiang.

May I know, who you are?.

This is Chao I-fu from Chiu-Hua Mt.

So, you`re the master of the Hei`s Fortress.

Yes I am.

This is Butcher Li Erh-yu.

Killer Liu Piao.

Swift-Sword Chieh Fei.

I`m greatly honoured

to be received

by you all here in An Fei.

Don`t give me that!

Leave behind the money

or you`ll all die!

This is a relief from Chan-che

for the 1000 refugees.

We`re volunteer escorts too...

please don`t interfere.

I`ll will thank you afterwards.

Very well, leave the money to me

and I`ll do the job for you.

It`s very kind of you!

But I`m to deliver it to Hu Pei personally.

If you would let us pass through

I do have something for you.

Deputy!

Yes

Just a small token

as our passing-through money.

You ask me?

Men!

Weapon!

Charge!

Go & give butcher a hand!

Get going!

Sword!

Yes!

Surround him!

You...

Iow-down villain!

Take the money back home!

I give you a toast!

Butcher is right.

Had it not been for you, Boss...

we wouldn`t have succeeded. Cheers!

Of the money we got

each of us four get 50,000.

The treasury keeps a 1000.

The rest will be distributed among you.

What do you say?

We make our living

by risking our lives.

After this big job...

you should keep your eyes open.

Prevent other gangs from taking advantage

and upright knights from interfering.

Do as I tell you to...

and you`ll have the best food & clothing

and a life to enjoy.

Come tomorrow morning to get your share.

Enjoy yourselves today!

Boss!

Ting Erh-ma!

You did a great job in informing us

Say what you wish to!

I heard that Hung`s daughter is called Tien Chao.

A little bit hot-tempered.

She`s skillful at using her pair of daggers

and her piece of rope.

I`m afraid she`ll come for us one day.

She`s need`s to be eliminated.

Stop exaggerating!

The so-called Steel Fly is already dead.

Why should we be scared of a girl?

Let`s have a few drinks

and find ourselves some girls to enjoy.

Just a moment!

Ting Erh-ma makes sense.

We must finish her off to avoid future trouble.

She`ll pass Ching Yang Town anyway

Report to me at once if she turns up.

Yes!

People all know my name here.

She won`t get past my eyes.

Don`t worry about it!

Let me toast to you all.

Hi!

Give me some tea!

Yes

Here it is.

Stand back!

Hsiao Pao!

Hsiao Pao!

If it had not been for him...

the girl would have been trampled to death.

He looks ordinary...

but he`s really something.

There are lots of people who look ordinary...

but are in fact invincible heroes.

Where do you think she`s heading in such a hurry?

She must be going to Chiu Hua Mt.

to retaliate on the bandits.

She can use her sword

as well as her rope.

She can tie a person up mid-air.

I don`t think she`ll escape.

The leader of the gang is called Devil`s Whip.

He`s a skillful swordsman.

Even his three partners

are experts at fencing.

They`re all cold-blooded killers.

Those vicious rascals

robbed of the relief funds.

They must have no conscience.

Like I said...

It`s possible that one day

some chivalrous knights

will cut down those scoundrels.

Please be quick!

Right away!

Hurry up with our dishes!

Right away!

Sit down!

People have to carry on with their journey.

You mustn`t keep them waiting

or we`ll have less customers in future.

This is the only shop around here.

Otherwise they`d have to travel with an empty belly.

Don`t worry.

How can I get it through your thick skull?

We are doing business.

We mustn`t keep people waiting

Move it!

Take care!

How could you wash dishes with this?

Is a kettle round?

Are the dishes round?

Why can`t I use it then?

That was a great rider we saw this morning.

The rider was a girl.

I can`t figure out why she`s in such a hurry.

May I have some food?

What would you like?

A bowl of noodles.

I`m in a hurry.

I`m sorry but the noodles are sold out.

If you don`t mind, I`ll get you some buns

and a glass of water.

What do you think?

Fine, anything will do.

I`d like to ask you something.

Find, the food will be ready soon.

Just tell me what you want to know.

Hey, bring some buns here!

Coming!

Coming!

Which way are you heading pal?

How can I get to Chiu Hua Mt.?

Chiu Hua Mt.?

Yes.

It`s no place for you.

It`s where the bandits of Hei`s Fortress hideout.

I know that.

Just tell me how I can get there.

I run this shop to make a living...

I`ve met many people like you.

I can see that you`re no ordinary person.

You`re kidding me!

Do I look different?

I know that you`re a brave knight

but those bandits...

are known for being blood-thirsty

particularly their master Chao I-fu

who`s known as the Devil`s Whip.

His whip is a deadly weapon.

Recently some escorted wagons were robbed

and the escorts were all killed.

Be careful if you go there.

This is the main road.

This is the side-path.

They lead to Ching Yang Town.

Chiu Hua Mt. isn`t far from here.

Which is the shortest way?

The main road will take you a day

and there`s a lodging-place.

Merchants & traders go that way.

How about the side-road?

It`s a short-cut,... but don`t use it.

What do you mean?

There are no inhabitants.

The only resting place is a ruined temple

but it`s haunted!

Mister, have you seen a lady

riding through here?

Yes, this morning...

on the main road.

She was riding fast

I`ll be on my way.

Thank you.

Who is that man?

He doesn`t have the look of a bandit.

I guess he`s a cavalier.

Cavalier?

Look, he took the side-road!

Are you a human being or a ghost?

How can a ghost scream?

What`s your name, where`re you from?

Ouch, please release me.

Speak up!

My name is Lao Liu...

I`m from the Hei`s Fortress.

You are one of them?

Yes

Why aren`t you there

instead of playing such dirty tricks here?

I`m sent here by my Boss...

to make the merchants & traders use the main road.

The main road is twice as long

and so you may have enough time

to plunder them, right?

Yes!

Yes!

If I let you off this time

will you remain a bandit?

I promise I`ll turn over a new leaf.

Alright, don`t let me see you again!

Want a room, lady?

Follow me please!

You want a room, lady?

Please!

I`ll get you water to wash your face.

Just tell me if you need anything.

Later.

Chiu Hua Mt. is not far from here.

How can I get there?

Chiu Hua Mt.?

Walk straight on from the North Gate.

Alright, I`ll call you if I need anything.

Yes, please do.

Cashier!

Cashier!

Cashier!

What`s wrong?

Cashier!

A lady rider lodges in our inn.

She inquires about the way to Chiu Hua Mt.

Didn`t you tell us

to pay attention to ladies travelling alone?

I believe it`s her.

How old is she?

About 20. She has a pair of daggers.

It`s her alright!

Take me to her horse.

OK.

This is her horse.

Anything besides the horse?

She took everything to her room.

Want a room, sir?

Yes.

Inside please.

Where`s the saddle?

Here it is.

A Brand mark...

Te-wei Wagons Escorts.

It must be her.

Here is your room, sir.

Waiter!

Yes!

Is that man in the yard the cashier?

Yes, do you know him?

I seem to have met him before, what`s his name?

His name is Ting Erh

Everyone here know`s him.

So, he`s Ting Erh.

Alright, you may go!

Tell me if you want anything.

How shall we take her prisoner?

She isn`t easy to deal with

and she`s got a hot temper.

I`m afraid we can`t subdue her.

What shall we do?

Their wagon will pass Ching Tsao Village.

Our men might have all gone down.

Anyway, go and take a look.

They will have all gone before midnight.

OK

Go to the gambling den

to tell those gamblers to gather up here.

Yes.

If we succeed

each of them will get 5 bucks.

Go that way!

Where are you going, miss?

To stretch in my legs.

You`re a nice girl, but a bit hot-headed.

If I was not so fast

I would have lost my arm.

Shameless!

You lurk outside my room at this hour.

How violent!

Stop the nonsense!

You just don`t realize my sincerity.

There will trouble soon.

You`d better save your strength!

How dare you insult me!

Look, they are all here.

Fight if you want.

I`ll deal with you later!

What do you want?

We have a slight problem.

Close your doors if you don`t want any trouble.

Madam, are you going to Chiu Hua Mt.?

I`ve come to take you there.

Chiu Hua Mt.?

That`s your bandits hideout.

Why aren`t they here yet?

Is there anything wrong?

I suppose not.

Cut down that kid as well.

You mentioned Ching Tsao Village & Hei`s Fortress.

Are they on their way?

Yes

Tomorrow afternoon.

Did you take part in the last robbery?

I never rob. I only provide the information.

I won`t spare you, bandit!

Wait!

If you hadn`t of saved my life

I wouldn`t let you off!

Miss Hung, we`ve a lot of questions to ask

but you killed him.

We`ll get no information.

What`s the use!

He had told us tomorrow at Ching Tsao Village.

I`ll be on my way!

Hurry up!

Fetch two more chairs!

The wagons have arrived!

What are you yelling at?

Put them there, there!

Come & take a rest.

We`ve plenty of delicious food.

Please sit down.

Secure the carts & take a rest!

Secure this cart there!

Hurry up!

Order whatever you like!

You must have had a hard trip.

What would you like to have?

We are in a hurry.

Get me some already prepared dishes,

a few boiled eggs & some steamed bread.

Fine, I`ll get you some cooked chicken

and eggs right away.

Chan-chi, Chang-san

a few days ago, the Te-wei`s

were robbed at San-li Slope nearby.

We must be cautious.

Yes.

Don`t worry, Captain

we`ve been keeping a good lookout.

Hey!... Lookout!

Yes!

I can relax now.

Chickens.

Damn!

This egg is covered in salt.

They`re all like it!

This is the only shop around here.

Don`t expect too much.

Robbers! Weapons!

Charge!

How dare they rob people in my place!

Strange, why isn`t Chao I-fu here?

I`m grateful to you both.

But for your help our carts

and even our lives would be lost.

Don`t mention it. I`m Pai.

This is Miss Hung of Te-wei`s.

She`s come to take revenge on Chao I-fu.

Miss Hung.

I met your father once some years ago.

How unfortunate.

I knew that you were no ordinary person

but I never knew you`re so great.

You flatter me.

Miss Hung and I heard about

the Hei`s Fortress plot, so we came...

but the ring-leader didn`t show up.

That`s Chieh Fei.

This is Liu Piao.

Where are you heading for, Captain Huang?

Tientsin!

Would you send a message to my teacher

that I`ll return right after I`ve finished here.

Yes, certainly. Who is your teacher?

He lives in Pei-ping, his name is Wang Wu

Wang Wu?

Wang Wu?

Well?

Your surname is Pai.

Yes.

Wang Wu has a fine student

nicknamed `Iron Palm`, is that you?

Yes, that`s me.

My respects.

I`ll do that for you.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Let`s go, Miss Hung.

Why aren`t Liu and Chieh back yet?

Is there something wrong?

With their skill

they can handle it with ease.

Otherwise how could we make our living?

You`re right.

But we can never be too sure.

In fact...

I should have gone myself.

Don`t worry about it!

Ting Erh-ma will inform us if anything has happened.

I guess the wagon is slow

so they are late.

I hope you`re right.

Someone from Ching Yang Town!

From Ting Erh-ma? Show him in.

Yes!

Tell them to come in!

Yes!

Here`s the messenger!

Well, any news?

Boss, there was trouble at the inn.

Mr. Ting was killed.

The chief was also killed at Ching Tsao Village

What?

Why didn`t you come earlier? You idiot!

I was tied up for a whole day.

Somebody only just found me & let me loose.

Who did it?

Hung Te-wei`s daughter.

She alone can do that?

It was her.

I`d like to see how capable she is.

You go to take a rest.

Thank you.

Erh-yu.

Yes.

That bitch will come here.

Tell the boys to watch out.

OK!

I`ve met you before

but don`t know where.

Why don`t you say something?

Try to think, where did we meet before?

You`re such quick tempered.

You were riding through Chang San Town

You rode so fast in the street

that you almost knocked a child down.

No wonder your face is so familiar.

You saved that girl

You do remember?

I thought only of taking revenge.

I almost made a terrible mistake

but for you.

Let bygones be bygones.

Let`s figure out a way

to get in to finish off Chao.

Why should we care about how to get in?

That`s unnecessary.

Let`s figure our way in

and kill him, will that be OK?

You`re so simple-minded.

Not to mention the large number of bandits...

the two leaders alone are tough enough.

Otherwise your father wouldn`t have been killed.

I don`t care how many there are.

You`re afraid of them, even with your skill?

I`m not.

I`ll go alone.

Miss Hung, I am concerned

our recklessness will spoil it.

What do you suggest?

Devil`s Whip is no regular guy.

I can just about manage him

but he might have tricks in his whip.

We must think of a way to defeat his whip.

If you can`t think of a way soon

then we`ll never get revenge on him.

I just don`t care so much.

I`ll fix him if I meet him.

Let`s find a lodging-place first.

I`ll tell you once I have a plan.

The bill!

Madame, are you going out at this hour?

I won`t be staying here tonight.

Give this to my friend tomorrow morning.

This is for you.

Do to him what he does to others.

Why didn`t I think of it earlier?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Assassin, send the alert!

Go!

Stand back! Surround her!

Are you Chao I-fu?

So what?

Pay for my father`s life!

Weapon!

I want her alive.

Yes!

Everything is alright now.

Shut her in the cellar.

Take her!

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

Your girlfriend checked out last night.

What?

She left you a letter.

This is bad.

Is there a blacksmith nearby?

Yes, walk right from here.

OK?

Alright, thank you.

Don`t mention it.

Where can I sharpen & polish my stuff?

The second house at the left turning.

Who are you?

Please report to your boss..

I`m Feng Szu. I want to join your gang!

Lower the bridge.

Boss.

What are we going to do with that girl?

Leave her shut in the cellar for a few days.

I`ll get my pleasure from her.

She has quite a bad temper but she`s beautiful.

Boss.

What is it?

A certain Feng Szu wants to join us.

He`s brought a present.

What present? Let me see it.

Not bad.

Where is he? Show him in.

Yes.

Bring Feng Szu!

My respects, Boss!

Are you Feng Szu?

Yes, people nickname me Single-Eye.

Single-Eye?.. really.

Let me see your eyes.

Well...

Why don`t you obey our boss?

I was blinded for stealing chickens. It looks ugly.

You`re just a little thief.

Take it off!

Alright, put it back on.

I didn`t want you to see it, I`m sorry.

We do business involving bloodshed

not stealing chickens.

Show us what you can do.

I`ve been practising hard since I was blinded.

I can chop up a log with my bare hand.

You can?

Get him a log.

Yes!

So thick?

You`d better go back to stealing chickens!

Well done!

That was nothing.

Hey, test him out!

Pardon me.

Come on, try me!

I wouldn`t dare.

You wouldn`t dare?

You have a very powerful blow.

Your foundation ain`t bad.

But you`re far fom being my match.

I`ll give you 5 dollars.

Thank you!

You ain`t bad. You`re now an underboss.

You`ll get a raise you if you do well.

Underboss? Thank you, Boss!

Black Dog, show him his room.

I win!

Come on...

Cheers!

Nothing ever happens here, right?

Nothing?

Last night a lady came looking for trouble.

A lady looking for trouble?

Yes.

She came to take revenge for her father Hung T e-wei.

Then what?

She was caught by our boss

and is shut in the cellar.

I win again!

I`m cleaned out, I`ll quit.

Two more games.

I lend you some money.

It`s time I should be on duty.

I`m drunk. Black Dog, you help yourself.

OK

I`ve come to take your place.

Coming.

Wake up, Miss Hung. It`s me!

Come on... get going!

Damn you bastard!

Sword!

What a Single-Eye! You have a waist-sword.

I`m not Single-Eye!

Take it back to buy your coffin!

Get moving!

Hold it!

Get going.

You`re pretty smart.

You can`t get away.

Look out, I was hurt by them.

Stick close to me.

Waist-sword?

What`s Wang Wu got to do with you?

He`s my teacher, so what?

What`s your name?

My name is Pai Szu.

Pai Szu?

Are you that so-called Iron Palm?

Yes, I am!

Pai, we bear each other no grudge.

Why should you butt in?

You inhuman villain dared rob the

relief fund for the famine-stricken.

Have you any conscience?

That is how we make our living.

It`ll be your neck if you pry into it.

You wicked scoundrel!

using such dirty, low-down tricks.

The brave and the evil can never exist together.

I`ll eliminate the evil one!

The brave and the evil never exist together.

I`ll have you torn apart!

Good blow. Whip!

Miss Hung!

You won`t slip through my fingers!

Miss Hung!

Miss Hung!

Lower the bridge!

Yes!

Miss Hung!

Small...Whip...Lock

Do to him what he does to others.
