Doctor, our Miss...

I'm very sorry, I've already tried my best

As I see it, your Miss might not...

even be able to last through the night

Doctor, please try again

Let her live for two more days

Just two more days will be enough

Please, you must help her

Our Miss has been engaged since she was small

Her fiance is Mr. Han, that was fourteen years ago

I think Mr. Han is now twenty years old

Where is he now?

Master Han used to be the governor of our town

He was attacked by slander, lost everything

The whole family left this place...

and is now living in the capital

I've sent Deqi to the capital two days ago

...to ask Mr. Han to return

I'm very sorry

I'm unable to do anything with this illness

Deqi is back

Deqi is already back

Where's Mr. Han?

Mr. Han is not here yet?

Didn't he come back with you?

That's strange! When I arrived at the Han House

Mr. Han had already left for two days

Carried with him a certain amount of money

Is that true?

Sure

Miss, please wake up

There's good news. Mr. Han is on his way

He will be here soon

Miss, you must wait for him

You must wait for him...

Hurry up�-

Three...

You've won and you want to leave

You need money to gamble, where's your money?

Asshole, I have money. Don't you try to leave

Wait for me and let's gamble again

No problem, go get your money!

Make way...

If I don't see you when I return

...beware of your life

Get off! You're driving me nuts

It's my bad luck to have married you

That's enough, my good wife!

Look at you, gambling all day long

You only come back when you've lost everything

What exactly are you thinking of?

Tell me, isn't it enough to have lost all money

But you have to bring back a dead body also

What exactly is on your mind?

What are you thinking of?

Who said it's a dead body, he's alive

He said he will pay me well if I bring him to town

Stop dreaming

He's been robbed

What else can he give you?

If he dies in our house...

we even have to buy him a coffin

I said he didn't die

Okay, even if he's alive...

do we have to get him a doctor?

Who is going to pay for that? Tell me

Doctor

Doctor, can he still live?

Too much blood has been lost. But it's lucky that...

he's been found early enough, that saves his life

That's good

Thank you, Doctor...

He's awake now, you can go in

Yes, yes. Thanks, Doctor

Don't move, stay still...

Just take a good rest

Thank you so much for rescuing me

Don't mention that

But, you did scare me a lot

This may cost me a few years of my life

Mister, you come here

For what purpose?

Mister, can't you tell me that?

Would you be a local by any chance?

Yes, I was born here

I'm here looking for someone, if you can help me

No problem

What's his name?

Zhangniu

What? Zhangniu?

What's your name?

You? Are you the son of Lord Han?

How do you know?

You haven't changed much since you were a kid

Mr. Han, I'm Zhangniu

What?

So it's you

Mister

What...what has happened?

Not long after I left here, my mom passed away

Before I could return, my father passed away too

This...is so sad!

They have been so good to me

I can never forget that

You should know that...

we've a marriage agreement with the Song family

Of course I know that

Mr. Han and Miss Lianhua are engaged to each other

And the two families are in-laws

I see. So Mr. Han is here to get married

Miss, you die so young

Mr. Han will be here soon

But you can't even wait a minute more

Miss, Miss...

At his deathbed, father ordered me to repay the debt

ls there a lot?

Not a small sum. When we left here...

it was such a mess, we have borrowed...

a thousand silver dollars from Master Song

Father has been running around for years...

to come up with the money, and finally got enough

After he died it's my duty to come here and repay the debt

But I was robbed on my way here

Now...

Such misfortune!

But, Mr. Han

Master Song has also passed away three months ago

You can just leave the debt unsettled

Even so, but a debt is still a debt

You should know my father pretty well

Yes...of course

If I can't repay the debt

Then I can't fulfill his last wish

Then I'm an unworthy son

Mr. Han,

what's done is done. There's no use feeling sad

You can leave this matter to me

I will do my best for you

Please take a good rest here

Thank you so much for your kindness

After all these years, I'm quite well-known here

You don't have to worry a bit

Honey

Honey

Come, come...

What's up? What is it?

Go in quickly

Come, hurry up

What's up?

This is Mr. Han that I've always talked about

Go and greet him

This must be the lady, never mind the etiquette

Mr. Han is so nice

Go and greet everyone, hurry up

Awhile back I didn't know it's you

Sorry if I've offended you

Today I'm the uninvited guest

What are you talking about?

As long as I'm here, you don't have to worry a bit

Just take a good rest

Excuse me

What does it say?

Can't you read that yourself?

I won't ask you if I can read

The Song family is looking for Han Shilong

Han Shilong? Why?

Don't you know? Miss Song is dead

Miss Lianhua has passed away...

Master & Miss Song are both dead. Hence they are...

looking for Mr. Han to take up the inheritance

Inheritance?

It's what Master Song ordered at his deathbed

Jeez, this Mr. Han sure is a lucky fellow!

He has become a millionaire all of a sudden

What? Miss has passed away

They said she died last night

What a pity!

If only I can come earlier

Mr. Han, even though you're not yet fully recovered

But you have to get up quickly

I'll bring you there

Where to?

Of course the Song House

What else is there to think about?

The thousand dollar debt isn't repaid yet

I'm still regretful about it

I was told to bring the money back

But instead, I got robbed

Now I don't have anything to pay

How can I go there?

Mr. Han, please don't think too much about that

Even though she had died,

yet I can't be there without the money;

Otherwise my father won't rest in peace

But...but

Zhangniu

Don't talk about it anymore

But...but...

Excuse me...

Is this the Song House?

May I ask who this is?

I'm Han Shilong from the capital

So it's Mr. Han

I heard Miss is dead. I couldn't see her...

the last time, so I've come to pay my respects

Please come with me, Mr. Han

Please

Bring this gentleman in

Please

How many are there?

He is the ninth one

The ninth?

You've taken care of Miss for so long

And you've never seen Mr. Han?

I've seen him when he was small

But I don't know him anymore

Suddenly we have nine posing as Mr. Han

How can I tell who is who?

When the other family members get the news...

they too will surely be here to claim the inheritance

We have to find the real Mr. Han as soon as possible

Can you come up with any good idea?

Of course I have an idea

This can surely tell who is real Mr. Han

What is it?

Go to the living room

And take them one by one to the mourning hall

One who can stay with Miss...

until the next morning

He is the real Mr. Han

All the impostors will be scared to death

We'd have got our answer by then, right?

But...

C'm0n, just do as I said

When Miss is alive...

She missed Mr. Han day and night;

Hoping he can soon return

Now we have so many fake Mr. Han

Let's hope our Miss in heaven helps us

...to find out the real Mr. Han

Deqi, do it as I've planned

But be very careful

Yes

This way

This way please

This is the mourning hall

Is it?

Maybe you guys think I'm here for the inheritance

That's why you have to test me; How very rude!

I'm sorry. If you could kindly stay with Miss

...until morning, then everything will be clear

Please!

Help!...Ghost...

Please go in

I'm the only real Mr. Han

All of them are fake

Kick them out

Yes

Let's

Please!

I knew it, they are all stupid jerks

Please go in

I'm telling you, I'm the only real one

I'm the real Mr. Han, let's go

Go

Please

Mr. Han, you may not realize this

But a lot of greedy men are pretending to be you

Hoping to get the inheritance of Miss Lianhua

Even Miss Lianhua's cousin and her husband

went to cause trouble in the Song House

Even I can't stand it and want to kick them out

How can you stay away from all these?

Then what do you want me to do?

That's easy. Come with me to the Song House...

and tell them who you are

They will believe me that...

you are the real Mr. Han

No

Why?

I don't have one thousand silver dollars with me

They will say I'm just there for the inheritance

But...

Don't mention about this anymore

Such a nice lady has to die in regret

The Heavens have played too big a joke on us

If sacrificing my life...

can make her wish come true

I'm willing to die at once

It stinks even in here

How much longer are they going to keep the corpse?

Why don't you ask the wet nurse

...to bury the body quickly

She won't listen to me

My good wife, the old hag must have known that

all those sitting outside...

are all Mr. Han's impostors

But still, she won't give up

The Song family has at least

a few thousand silver dollars in cash

Where did the old hag hide it? It's so strange

Let's do it this way!

What?

Me...me...

A big man as you being afraid of an old hag?!

Dead...she's...dead

Come, open the door quickly

Who is it?

I'm just passing by. Can I stay the night here?

Shit, and I thought god knows who it is!

We don't have a vacant room, go ask somewhere else

Hold it there

Hey you, go inform your Master quickly

How rude! Let me tell ya

Even though I'm wandering from place to place

Yet I'm no ordinary man. Open the door quick

And what's so special about you?

Are you a spirit or what?

Damn, consider this as stronger than some spirit

The devil has entered your house

Open the door quickly

Otherwise you'll have big trouble

Go tell your Master quickly

We don't really have a Master here

Then who is in-charge?

Even though our Mister is at home

But for all matters, he listens to me

He is now studying

And he doesn't have time for you

Servant, I said go tell him

Cut the crap

Shit, why do you have to add the word "servant"

...in whatever you speak

Servant, open the door as I told you

Old fart, if you keep on nagging...

I'll teach you a good lesson

Mr. Han, are you taking a rest?

This is strange! Where is he?

May I ask...why are you here?

Sorry if I've scared you

Please come with me and you'll know why

Who are you?

You don't have to ask

I've been waiting here a long time for you

Tell me, who are you?

Why are you waiting here for me?

Don't bother with who I am. Just come with me

And you'll know the whole story

Please don't worry, I won't hurt you

Wait

Why are you walking into the deep mountain?

Are you a human, or a devil?

This is a long story

Anyway, I'm no devil

Please trust me

It's hard to walk in a dark forest

Let me take your hand

Why is your hand so cold?

Because of the dew on my hand

Please don't get suspicious

Let's go

Be careful

Please

You must be tired, please have a seat

Miss, whose family are you from?

I'll tell you, please have a seat first

Please

I'm sorry to have invited you here so late

You're so gracious in your manner

You must have come from a respectable family

Why do you bring me here at this late hour?

We've been through a difficult time, so I stay away

...from the earthly concerns with my wet nurse

Maybe you have forgotten me

But, I'm always looking forward to see you

You are...

I'm Song Lianhua

Miss Lianhua has passed away a few days ago

Mr. Han...

Mr. Han

Please let me explain this to you

Please don't trust the rumor outside

Miss has not died yet

Mr. Han, you know that I've taken care of Miss

...ever since she was small

Upon the order of the late Master and the Lady

She has been engaged to you

Although she hasn't met with you before

But she has always missed you

Since the Master and the Lady have passed away

Miss has taken ill due to deep grief

And her cousin, the Lian couple

They have evil desire on her inheritance

So they wish her death

Miss Lianhua's sickness has become serious

Even though she has seen a lot of good doctors

But still no one can do anything

For the others, they may have already died

But since Miss has loved you for so many years

And she wishes to see you when she's still alive

That love has sustained her life until now

But, that evil Lian couple

They feared that if Miss is still alive

And that when she's married to you

They won't get the inheritance

So they've set an evil plan

To have Miss buried alive

What? Buried alive?

Yes

A pair of heartless beasts are they

That night when I passed by their room

I unexpectedly overheard their plan

They planned to take out the seriously ill Miss

...to bury alive

When there's nobody around

So I've tried all means

...to bring Miss over here

Thanks to the heaven

We found glossy ganoderma in the deep mountain

which keeps her alive, so as to see you

Mr. Han, what I've told you is true

Please do believe me

Please, for the sake of her love for you

And all the suffering that she has gone through

Please fulfill my wish

What is your wish?

I wish that you and our Miss

...can get married tonight

Get married?

Yes, get married at once

You two have since long been engaged anyway

You two are separated because of other circumstances

Now Miss is so lonely by herself

She has got no family but you

You two have every reason to get married

...to continue the family line

if this wish can be fulfilled, I've no more regret

This is strange

It seems that Mr. Han has come this way

Mr. Han?

Miss, you can fulfill your wish now

Ghost...

Wet nurse, what has happened?

What a pity!

Even though you two have already got married

But someone here has ruined the day

You can't stay with him tonight

Miss, we have to leave quickly

There's no more chance tonight

We have to go...

before daybreak

Miss

Honey

Open the door...

Darling

Open the door

Tell me honestly

Which girl has kept you for the night?

You are so late at home

Tell me the truth

Otherwise I'll beat you to death

Come, strip, let me see...

who are you staying with?

Ghost

Ghost

Ghost, ghost...

Mr. Han, it's good you're here

Come take a look!

My husband

I don't know what he has seen last night

He kept saying there is ghost

Give me a hand

He has frightened me

I got him a doctor...

to try to cure him

Zhangniu, don't yell

Zhangniu, do you recognize me?

Zhangniu, Zhangniu

Ghost...

Husband

Zhangniu

So, Mr. Han

Please don't leave the room tonight

Yes

You are the one that got superstitious

Well...well...

Mr. Han, this is for your own goodness

Please listen to us

Don't go out tonight

I beg you, please. Don't go out

Please, Mr. Han

Don't you go out

Okay okay, you can leave now!

My beloved

I think that's not enough

Maybe we should go get a priest here

To drive out the evil

Wait for me

Mr. Han, you can't go out

Again

You don't look good lately

And there's the disturbance of the evil spirit

Did you hear the drumbeat over there?

They are the priests I got for you

They are very famous here, they can...

drive out the evil spirit that surrounds you

Please listen to me, and don't leave your room

I beg you

I won't listen to you no matter what

Get off my way

Mr. Han, you can't leave

Are you taking your hands off?

If you don't listen to me...

Then kill me first

I can't let you go to your death

You...better kill me first

You're so annoying

Please don't get annoyed

It's my goodwill

Mr. Han

If something happens to you...

How can I face up to the Master and the Lady?

I beg you, please go back to your room

If you don't listen to me...

Then I'll die here

Okay, since you're so sincere

Then I won't go out tonight

Thank you, thank you

Mr. Han

Miss Lianhua

When did you come here?

After waiting for long, I can only come

The rumor against you is very bad

You have to be very careful

I knew that already

No matter how bad the rumor is

We have already got married

As long as you haven't changed

There's nothing to be feared

Mr. Han, even though...

you've married Miss Lianhua

But you two haven't spent the first night together

That's why I accompanied Miss here

...so as not to miss the best moment

Okay, then I'll follow you

Thank you so much

What is that sound?

They said that I've been surrounded by evil spirit

So they brought in the priests

So we are the evil spirit

Don't get mad, it's only their ignorance

Please don't get suspicious

I just need to go tell them

to stop spreading the rumor

So as not to affect the love between you two

Mr. Han is looking for you

Mr. Han is looking for me?

He said it's urgent, go quickly

Honey

What's the matter?

Mr. Han is looking for me

Mr. Han is looking for you?

Just now an old woman came and said

Mr. Han has something urgent to see me

An old woman? How come I didn't see her

What? You didn't know that

What does that mean?

I've always been here

I haven't seen any old woman

This is strange

How come there's an old woman telling me

that Mr. Han is looking for me

Ghost...

What are you waiting for, keep knocking

Knock, keep knocking

What?

Do you know what is he doing in there?

No

Should I go take a look?

He's not there

He's there

Mr. Han, where are you going?

Mr. Han, come back

Come back

Mr. Han

Let's go back!

Mr. Han, where are you going?

Let's go back, go, go...

Let's go

Don't pull me

Let's go back

Miss...

Mr. Han

What are you doing?

Let's go back

Lianhua

Mr. Han, let's go

What are you looking at?

Lianhua

Don't look, just go...

Miss...

Good, good...

It's nothing

It's nothing

There's no ghost. If there really is a ghost

I'll give it a punch

Thank you so much, everybody

Please have a drink inside

Come inside

Come on

The food is here

A toast

Take as much as you want

Get me another drink

Yes, please wait

Come, drink it...

How come you've blood in your mouth?

Blood? You look pale

Blood

This is not wine, but blood

How come you're all so scared?

I'm afraid that there is not enough wine

So I bring some more

There's no more blood

That's true

It's wine

What happened?

Nothing, nothing

Please give me the wine

Okay

Smells good. Don't go

Drink with us

No

Why do you despise us?

No, I...

How can I sit here?

Don't go

Stay for a moment, just a moment

Don't do that, they can see us

Miss, I'm still single

Go to some place where no one is around

Let's have a good time

No...

Come on

This is strange, where is he?

Let go

What does it matter, no one is here!

No

How soft is your hand!

No

Come on

Come on...

Where is she?

Ghost...

It's my fault

I should have known better; it's my fault

Please forgive me for what I did to you

Please save our Mister, I beg you

To be honest with you

I saw an evil wind in your house

What? An evil wind?

What should we do? I beg you

Please save our Mister, I beg you

Okay!

Since he's so young and such a nice man

I don't want him to die

I'll help you this time

Thank you so much

See

Now you can believe me

Is that true?

The Miss Lianhua...

that you are seeing every night...

as actually a spirit

This is the grave of her wet nurse, Yuegui

From now on, you can't get close to the spirit

Otherwise, you will die, because...

the spirit will take away all your energy

So that it can wait long enough to enter the Heaven

No, no

If you are still unconvinced

Let's open the coffin for him to see

Come

Yes

No, this is too cruel

You can't do such a thing

Take him home, and remember my words

Tonight is the critical moment

Mister

Don't listen to all those rumors anymore

They are harming our love

Please touch my heart

Then you'll know that I'm true to you

Ghost...

Why are you avoiding me?

If you suspect me...

Please touch my heart

Please believe me

Lianhua...

What happened?

Zhangniu, Zhangniu

Lianhua, what's up?

Are you sick?

Miss, what happened?

Go...go quickly

Lianhua

Lianhua

What happened?

What happened?

Lianhua

Are you sick?

What are you doing?

I've put the incantation as a decorative chain

It will be hard for the ghost to break in

You don't have to worry about me

I'm feeling a lot better now

That's good

We've been worrying about you

As long as you can stand firm, then

no matter what kind of ghost they are

They won't dare to come

Please don't worry about it anymore

Darling

Look, I've put the incantation on my face

It will scare the evil spirit

Let's go

It has all been covered with incantation

Come

What should we do?

Mr. Han

Miss Lianhua is here

Mister, Miss Lianhua is here

Mister, Miss Lianhua is here

Mister, please tell me what has happened

If it's my fault, I'm willing to be punished

All I want is to see you

Mister, what has happened?

Please tell me

Mister, this is too much

You don't want her now after getting married

You two have to spend the night together

Please open the door quickly

Please open the door

Leave me, just leave me

Mister, please open the door!

Don't you try to hurt me anymore

This is not true

I don't understand what you said

Please don't believe in all those rumors

You've got me wrong

Please leave me alone

What do you mean?

Do you want to deny the marriage

...with our Miss?

I've never imagined that you're such a ruthless man

This is too much

Can't you hear that Miss is crying?

Mister

Mister, please open the door!

Can you be that cruel?

Please, fulfill the wish of our Miss

Mister

If you really want to break up this marriage

I won't force it upon you

After I go back this once, I will never come again

Mister

Please just let me see you for the last time

Then I'll have no regret

Mister

Please open the door

Mister

Mister, please listen to that

Don't you think our Miss is pitiful?

Mister...please open the door

Mister

The front door, the back door...very good

I think Mr. Han will be okay this time

This incantation is very powerful

She's here

Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you

Please, please...

Please, spare our lives

Okay, but only upon one condition

Tell us!

What condition?

As long as that can save our lives

Take away all the incantation...

on Mr. Han's room

No, we can't do that

No way

Do you agree to that or not?

No, just this one is a "no"

If you don't listen to me

I'll kill you

Yes or no?

This...we can't agree to that

Mr. Han is our saviour

Yes

If you're going to harm him...

we won't agree to that even if you've to kill us

That's right, we won't agree to that

We'll never harm Mr. Han, no way

It's very good that...

you're so loyal

Then I'll just kill one...

among you both

Say, who is willing to die

Me. But after I die, you'll become a widow

How are you going to live?

You don't have to worry about me

After you die, I'll keep my chastity

And I'll pay you respects everyday

No, this can't be it

After I die

You have to remarry

Marry Little Black...no, maybe Iron Rod

Iron Rod is more honest than Little Black

Honey, you've to take my word

As long as you can do it

I'll have peace in mind in the heaven

You're so good to me. You have such a good heart

...and you're so generous

You're so considerate

Madam Ghost, did you hear that...

my hubby is such a good man

It'll give you bad luck to kill such a good man

Then you die for him

No

No way, if you kill her...

I'll be left all alone in this world

Without her

What's the meaning of my life?

Who will want to marry me?

If you kill my wife, then kill us both

Yes, if you want to kill

Then kill us both

Since you two are a loving couple

Maybe...if you will do as I say

I'll give you a thousand silver dollars

One...one thousand silver dollars?

Yes, one thousand silver dollars

The money can redeem...

not only the lives of you two

But you can also...

buy land and property

You can then lead a very comfortable life

Yes, with the one thousand silver dollars

We can send Mr. Han to Hanyang

With the one thousand silver dollars

We can enjoy ourselves for the rest of our lives

Qkay...

We'll agree to that...

Then come with me to get the money

Come

Money...this is true

Okay, then come with me

...to where Mr. Han stays

Take away all these nasty things

Otherwise

you still won't get the money

Mr. Han will need this money

But what if something happens to him!

That shouldn't be a big deal

As long as he stands firm

It will move even the ghost to become a Buddha

Now I can see it, you're really ghostly

Please trust me, I just want to come in

to have a few words with you

Get out quickly, you evil spirit

Mister, please listen to me

Since we are each other's fiance

Why do you want to harm me?

No, I did not harm you

Even though I'm lifeless now

But during the very last moment of my life

...I still love you

It's a pity that I can't see you

Although we can't get married when I'm alive

I still want to settle my love for you after death

Please understand me

Mr. Han, according to our custom here...

Avirgin dying unmarried is most unfortunate

Her heart will be so full of regret...

that she can't enter heaven

She will forever become a wandering ghost

Please have pity on her

Please marry her

And make her truly your wife

Mr. Han, I knew Miss so well

In her whole life

She loves only you

Tonight

Please marry with our Miss

and spend the night with her!

Lianhua, what she said is true or not?

Love between a married couple should never end

Since we have performed the wedding ritual

and become husband and wife

How can I let you become a ghost...

wandering forever!

Mister

Lianhua

Beloved, O' beloved

Where are you going?

Where?

Home, of course

Home? Are you nuts? ls our home over there?

What, you've lost your sense of direction?

Don't you even know where our home is?

How can you take that haunted house as our home

Put the thing down

Let's talk about this

Now we have this sum of money

We can lead a good life

We can buy land and houses

We can also have a lot of servants

By that time we'll have three or four people

...at our service

Hey you, come here

Yes, Lady, what can I do for you?

Hubby, by then, you are the Master

and I'm the Lady

I'm the Master

You want to flee?

What else should we do?

For whatever reason

We can't do that, even if we have to leave

We have to say goodbye to Mister

We don't need to

He's so occupied by the ghost

And he will die when morning comes

What are we waiting for?

Let's g0, hurl")! up

Let's go...

Honey, wait

We need money to flee

You just can't go like that

Why are you so stupid?

We have the thousand dollars here

And you said we don't have money

Just take it with us and go!

Let's go before daybreak

One thousand silver dollars

We're rich

That's right

We can do whatever we want

Yes

We have let him down

But no matter what, my wife is always right

Okay, let's go

Hold on

Is this really a thousand dollars?

Of course

I know it's a thousand dollars in there

But still it looks like a dream

Dream, what dream?

It hurts! So I'm not dreaming

Go! Let me take a look

What's there to see?

Just now you saw it, the money is in the box

Just let me look at it again

It won't disappear by just one glance

Close the box and bring it home

If you give it to Mr. Han, it will turn to money

If you're greedy, it will become frogs again

Do you hear me?

Yes...we won't dare again

This is for Mr. Han

Mr. Han

Come greet Mr. Han

The money for the trip to Hanyang is ready

What happened?

Mister, you take a look

The one thousand silver dollars here

is the same that you've lost to the robbers

Mister

Miss Lianhua has got the money back for you

...to express her gratitude

Mister

Thank you for fulfilling my wish

I've to go

Please take care
