[The Wolf]

[Episode 1]

The kingdoms of Jin and Yang are opposing powers that fought and resisted each other.

King Chu Kui of Yang launched large scale war campaigns, causing war fires to ravage everywhere.

The loyal and righteous King of Jin could not fight off Chu Kui and retreated to the North

to raise and rebuild an army for a future war with the enemy.

Chu Kui had no morals, killing all those who resisted without mercy.

He swore to exterminate the Jin Kingdom and unify the land under one ruler.

[Xiahou Yi, Chu Kui’s Adjutant General]

Entire army, listen up! Kill everyone! Leave no one alive! [Xiahou Yi, Chu Kui’s Adjutant General]

Thus, the world was divided into North and South

by two opposing major powers.

[Ten Years Later in Langshou (Wolf Hunt) Mountain, Kuizhou City, Yang Kingdom]

Recently, a rumor has been going around that wolf meat will cure any illness!

One ounce of wolf meat is worth 10 thousand taels!

Father, let’s prepare to be prosperous!

Father, what are you doing?

What is that?

Demon Subduing Rod.

It’s for getting rid of demons.

Father, don’t listen to the nonsense saying that this mountain has a wolf monster.

It’s all fake! There’s not a single movement at all.

It’ll be too late if there are movements.

Who is it? Hurry and come out!

Stop hiding in the dark and acting like a ghost!

[The animals in this scene are all computer graphics]

There really is a wolf monster! Let us hurry and go down the mountain!

Father, look! There’s a big wolf!

Father!

Father, look!

It finally fell into our trap.

Father, watch me.

Go on.

The demon is about to come! Let’s hurry and run!

- Hurry and run! - No, Father! I must take this wolf with me!

There won’t be time if we don’t run now! Hurry and run!

I cannot!

Hurry, there’s no time!

[Kuizhou City, at the foot of Langshou Mountain]

Young Feudal Master! You are the temporary Feudal Master of Kuizhou City! [Ma Manor]

The wolf monster wreaking havoc on Langshou Mountain was personally witnessed by me!

Look! It ripped apart my arrow pouch!

He looks human-like yet wolf-like, his actions are beastly and terrifying. [Ma Jun, son of the Feudal Lord of Kuizhou City]

My father has been so scared that he’s bedridden.

Young Master and Lady, please rid the city of evil!

[Ma Zhaixing, Kuixhou City, Feudal Young Mistress]

Enough, enough! What looks like a human and a wolf?

I think you drank too much.

Everyone, listen to me! There’s no wolf demon in Langshou Mountain!

If there really was then would you be able to leave the mountains alive?

Young Master, Feudal Lord and Young Mistress Zhaixing are caring towards the common people.

How come only you do not worry about the lives of the commoners?

Nonsense! You mean looking for Ma Zhaixing is better than looking for me?

Don’t you know who’s in charge of the city now?

The legend of the wolf demon is just nonsense!

I was willing to waste my time to let you finish talking

so you should be grateful!

Men! Kick out this person who is talking nonsense and leading people astray!

Hold up!

The legend of the wolf has been recently spreading everywhere, affecting the lives of the commoners.

They just hope that Ma Manor can figure out if it’s real or not and give them an answer.

What sort of temporary feudal lord are you if you resolve this matter half-heartedly?

Ma Zhaixing! Impudence! [Madam Ma, wife of the Feudal Lord of Kuizhou City]

Don’t you know Jun’er is in charge of the city now?

A concubine’s daughter has no right to speak here!

Yes, Main Mother is right. I am just reminding Elder Brother.

If Father returns and learns that he ignored the people’s safety,

I wonder if Father will take back the order of making him the temporary Feudal Lord.

Ma Zhaixing, you dare to threaten me?

Jun’er!

Let me tell you. Your father favors her.

Don’t let her see your weakness. Sit down!

All right!

Ma Zhaixing! Then, what great ideas do you have?

May Young Feudal Master lead the army up the mountain and confirm the authenticity of the wolf monster for everyone’s sake.

If there is a wolf demon, please immediately order to seal off the mountain.

Forbid the eating of wolf meat and hunting of wolves to keep the people safe!

We ask Young Feudal Master to go up the mountain to see if there really is a wolf demon!

What? You are afraid? Are you not firm that there is no such thing as a wolf demon?

All right! I will personally take some men up the mountain to investigate.

If there are no wolf demons up there, what crime have you committed?

If there isn’t a wolf demon, then isn’t that a great thing?

It not only removes the people’s fear, but Father will also be proud of you!

You’re really something, Ma Zhaixing! Being a smooth talker now?

Thank you for your praise!

I will go with you to boost your courage and destroy evil things for the people’s benefit!

There’s no need! With an unlucky star like you around, nothing good can happen!

Then... I will not get in the way of my heroic brother saving everyone!

Young Master is intelligent! Thank you, Young Master,

for putting yourself in danger to give us justice!

Many hunters have seen the wolf demon here! Everyone be careful!

Yes!

There’s demonic wind!

Everyone be alert! Protect Young Master!

Protect Young Master!

We’re surrounded by wolves! We’re surrounded!

Young Master, where are you going?

- Don’t follow me! - Young Master!

Help! Help! Save me!

- Where is everyone? - Young Master!

Hurry and open it! Open it!

It’s a trap set by wolf hunters!

Young Master!

Seal the mountain! Seal the mountain! This mountain must be sealed!

Yes!

[The animals in this scene are all computer graphics]

Wolf Boy!

Your wolf mother, siblings, and friends have all left.

Can I come down now?

I knew you would catch me!

Thankfully I learned how to make sleep mist from Housekeeper Wang!

It will make people hallucinate and think they saw a wolf demon!

After the mountain is sealed, I won’t have to worry about you and the pack getting hunted!

And I don’t need to worry about you falling into a trap and having no one to save you!

Wolf Boy, we’ve known each other for over a year. Good thing you’re smart!

Although you can’t talk very well yet, you understand what I say now. You are a good student!

I heard the elders in the city say there was a family that lived in the mountain over ten years ago.

The husband died on the way to take the scholarly exam.

Not long afterward, the wife died after hard labor.

But no one knows where that child went.

My guess is you might be that child who was eventually raised by the wolves.

Wolf Boy, listen to me!

We only pretended to be a wolf demon in order to curb the practice of eating wolf meat!

But from today on, everything is finished.

You did a good job!

You can have a piece of candied fruit!

I said one piece! Just one piece!

Give it back to me!

You! You bad thing!

Wolf Boy, there are many delicious and fun things below the mountain.

That includes your favorite meat buns and roasted chicken!

Tomorrow, why don’t you go with me down the mountain to take a look?

Wolf Boy, listen to me!

It’s a hunter’s trap!

Are you all right?

People... are very bad.

That’s right. A bad person set this trap.

But that does not mean everyone below the mountain is bad.

Wolf Boy, you are human, not a wolf. You cannot hide here forever.

You have to return to humans sooner or later.

If you do not associate with people, how can you learn to tell who is good or bad?

All right. Then rest early today. I’ll bring you down the mountain tomorrow.

I will show you there are many good people in this world.

Sleep early!

- Look, Feudal Lord is back! - Feudal Lord is back!

Feudal Lord is finally back!

Yes, this is wonderful!

This is a great thing!

- Feudal Lord is finally back. - Yes.

[Ma Ying, Feudal Lord of Kuizhou City]

[Ma Manor]

Welcome, Feudal Lord!

You may all rise!

Thank you, Feudal Lord!

Father, you’re back!

I got up early every morning to practice writing and martial arts, waiting for you to return!

Mother has prepared many delicious dishes! Hurry and go inside.

There’s no rush. I must take care of our guests from far away.

Adjutant General Ma, who is that noble guest who came back to the estate with the Feudal Master? [Ma Fengcheng, Adjutant General of the Ma Family Army]

In this world, there are very few people that Father must personally entertain.

The person in the carriage must come from a strong background!

Madam and Young Master, the person in the carriage is no regular person.

He is the emperor’s sworn brother, Xiahou Yi.

Commandant Xiahou? Why did he suddenly come to a place as small as Kuizhou City? [Wang Xiang, housekeeper of Ma Manor]

I heard he came due to the rumor that wolf meat will cure any illness.

Commandant Xiahou, we have arrived at my estate.

[Commandant Xiahou Yi]

Wolf Boy, isn’t it exciting?

Look! There are many flowers here! How pretty!

Sir, take a look at my paintings!

- You can’t touch them! - Butterflies!

Boss!

Boss, my friend thought your painted butterflies really knew how to fly!

- You’re amazing, amazing! - Oh really?,

- You’re exaggerating. Thank you. - I’m not!

Customer! Take a look at my chickens! Aren’t they bigger than other shops’?

That’s because the chicken feed they eat is the best of the best, so the meat is bouncy and healthy.

You can take a look at its eyes, such innocence.

That’s because I use literature to reign in their wildness every day, without fail.

- What are you doing? - Boss! Boss!

Boss! I’m sorry! My friend... just wanted to let the little chickens go!

Let them go?

- It’s my first time hearing about letting little chickens go! - I’m sorry!

Go, go, go! Why are you creating trouble?

Come here! Come!

Come, sit down. Sit here. Sit down.

- What is today’s play? - I don’t know.

Watch closely.

I prepared this just for you. Don’t go away!

A long, long time ago,

in the faraway northern lands, there was a girl.

Her name... is Xing’er!

Xing’er?

You?

It’s starting!

Ever since her mother died, her father often was not at home.

She kept feeling down and was very lonely.

Until one day, Xing’er heard the mountain had mother’s favorite, usnea herb.

And so, she risked danger and bravely went up the mountain to search for it.

Xing’er accidentally stepped into the wolf’s territory and became his prey.

When Xing’er thought she was about to die, she discovered that the little wolf was sick.

You have a fever!

Xing’er did not find her mother’s favorite usnea herb.

Instead, she used mint leaves to save the sick little wolf.

[Usnea]

Wolves are animals that repay those that help them.

He waited for Xing’er to go up the mountain and took Xing’er to find the usnea plant.

My mother’s favorite usnea plant!

Wolf Boy, thank you!

Thank you!

After Xing’er met the little wolf, she was able to slowly forget the pain of losing a mother.

The little wolf became her playmate from then on.

Xing’er always went up to the mountains alone to find Little Wolf.

Little Wolf brought her into his wolf world.

Little Wolf is the most important existence in Xing’er’s life.

He enriched her life.

Because of Little Wolf, Xing’er learned that the wind can be seen.

This is the shape of the wind!

And because of Little Wolf, Xing’er learned that butterflies create sound when they fly.

You can hear the sound of the butterfly’s wings!

Here.

I heard people who take care of wolves will use wolf teeth to make charms.

So, I asked an artisan to make you a wolf tooth necklace.

It can protect you along the way. Do you like it?

Xing’er really wanted to ask Little Wolf

whether he was willing to turn into a human and stay by Xing’er’s side forever?

Candied hawthorn!

Candied hawthorn!

Candied hawthorn!

I don’t know if Wolf Boy understood what I meant.

The play was very good.

Right, even wolves know to repay kindness.

- This girl was very pitiful. Thankfully, she had a wolf friend. - Yes.

Where is my friend?

I don’t know. I was fascinated by the play.

Young Master, your story was very good and very moving just now.

Oh no! He doesn’t understand anything.

What will I do if something bad happens to him?

Candied hawthorn!

- Steamed buns! - Selling fruits!

Come here and see the candied hawthorn.

It’s very tasty. Buy one stick.

Fresh and hot buns!

Thank you, customer.

Candied hawthorn, do you want to buy it?

Steaming hot buns!

Candied hawthorn. Five wen for one stick. (T/N: Wen - imperial currency)

You haven’t paid yet!

Why are you hitting people! Take him to the local constabulary!

What kind of person is this? Catch him!

Right! What kind of person is he? Take him to the local constabulary!

He also wants to hit people?!

There are many of you surrounding this child.

How can he not be afraid?

- Leave, leave, leave. - All right.

Just now, it looked like he was going to help me get up.

He definitely wasn’t doing it on purpose.

This child took his stuff

but he didn’t try to run away. How can he be a thief?

Boss, look. This is the money that he dropped on the floor just now.

You just did not see it.

Yes, he did give me the money.

I was wondering why I couldn’t find it. So it dropped on the floor!

Yes, yes.

Okay, it’s okay! Leave, leave!

It’s okay now! Go back!

Go, go!

Too bad...

Child, I’ll pay it for you.

Hold it. You need to remember.

Stealing is wrong.

You need to remember, okay?

You must be hungry. Eat it.

Grandma and Uncle, I’m sorry.

My friend is shy towards strangers since very young.

I apologize on his behalf. He wasn’t stealing on purpose.

It’s okay. Just treat it as doing something good.

We’ll give him another chance.

Wolf Boy, give it to grandma.

Don’t give me money.

I gave him the steamed bun out of pity.

Eat it then.

Thank you, Grandma!

It’s okay. You can go.

- Let’s go. - Go.

- Thank you. - Okay, leave.

Come here.

Come, sit. You didn’t get scared, right?

You ran out here because you wanted to give me this?

- Wolf Boy. - You’re very obedient.

- Hurry and look! - Mother is very happy. I care for you.

Come and give me a kiss.

Look! That is love.

Wolf Boy, are you willing to believe that there are good people?

Wolf Boy, you’re so great and wonderful!

I’ll give my candied hawthorn to you.

You are giving me your favorite steamed bun?

Okay.

[Ma Manor]

The emperor will be personally visiting Kuizhou a few days from now.

Your Ma Family Army has been guarding Kuizhou City for some years now,

but the contributions to the imperial court is just this little?

I say, Feudal Lord Ma,

His Majesty has been gracious with you.

You must improve your performance in serving the government.

Commandant, you are correct.

We are the emperor’s left and right hand.

- We are both state subjects. - Father is back.

How come His Majesty gave positions with such huge differences?

In His Majesty’s eyes, you are...

a dog, stationed outside the capital for a long time.

What makes it different from a guard dog?

While I am like an invincible wolf,

assisting His Majesty in sweeping through all four directions.

Wolves actually are not invincible.

When they meet stronger opponents, they also know to retreat

and preserve their strength. This is a wolf’s intelligence.

Only foxes, once they have a backing, will start to show off,

afraid others cannot see how powerful they are now.

I am Ma Zhaixing, the daughter of the Feudal Lord Ma Ying of Kuizhou City.

Just now, I was just talking about animal instincts with you, sir.

If I offended you, please forgive me.

But I think you would not be so petty.

Impudent! Do not forget your manners!

How could you act this way towards the Commandant Xiahou?

Go back to your room and think about what you did.

You cannot leave your room for seven days.

- Housekeeper Wang! - Yes, Master.

Quickly lock up this wild girl!

My Lady...

Leave!

Yes, I’ll leave.

- Father. - Do you understand you were wrong?

You are deeply reflecting on your mistake, right?

Okay, you can get up.

Stand up, stand up.

Your legs are numb, right?

Look, I did not punish you to kneel.

Why are you punishing yourself like this?

When I was little, when I made a mistake,

my mother told me to kneel as punishment.

But you kept saying, "She’s a girl. Why do you make her kneel?

As long as she reflects on her wrongdoing, that’s enough."

Your mother was stricter than me, a man who goes to war.

How are you now? Hungry?

Okay, let’s go and eat.

Zhaixing, during these next few days while Commandant Xiahou is here,

If you can, stay far away from him.

This person’s mind is smaller than sesame (petty).

Father, how about I officially apologize to him tomorrow?

No need.

Right now, everyone in court is afraid of him because he is the emperor’s sworn brother.

For Kuizhou City’s citizen and for our Ma family,

I have to lower my head to him.

But, today, you helped me release that resentment.

You are truly my good daughter.

All right, I won’t hold you accountable anymore for being rude to him.

But I must hold another matter against you.

I’ve never forbidden you from going outside.

That is because I believe in you.

You are a distinguished Feudal Young Mistress,

a lady of noble upbringing, yet you stayed out until the middle of the night?

Aren’t you ignoring proper decorum?

I won’t do it again!

Father, there won’t be a next time.

It’s because I have a good friend who entered Kuizhou City for the first time!

As a local,

I took him around the city!

What kind of good friend?

He’s a loyal and obedient person,

and he is willing to take responsibility for his wrongdoings!

He loves to eat, too!

He sounds like a good child.

In the future, bring him to me if you have the chance.

I want to take a good look at him.

It’s a promise!

It’s a promise.

Ma Zhaixing, if I wasn’t giving your father consideration,

I would have let you have a taste of my skills!

- Commandant. - Come in.

Commandant, our young mistress is young and innocent.

She said many wrong words just now. Please forgive her.

Feudal Lord has given instructions.

Commandant has been on expeditions most of the time, personally joining the battle,

yet you are being bothered by joint inflammation.

So, he had me brew this nourishing soup for you.

This medicine soup reminded me of an important matter.

This Langshou Mountain, have you heard of it?

I understand medicine and previously went up the mountain to pick herbs,

so I am quite familiar with it.

That’s perfect!

I order you to immediately go up the mountain and catch me a few wolf pups.

I’ve recently heard that wolf meat and blood

have great medicinal properties to treat joint inflammation.

Don’t forget that your family’s young mistress

earlier insinuated that I was like a fox showing off.

I won’t fuss with her,

but it was still a serious crime of disrespecting the emperor’s sworn brother!

Commandant!

Commandant, please calm down!

Why don’t I just report it all

to the emperor in a few days?

Commandant, please don’t!

Please no! You must not!

Then why aren’t you rushing up the mountain catching me wolves to treat my illness?

If that medicine works,

I might stop making a fuss about your young mistress.

Yes, Commandant.

This servant will immediately go work on this. I surely will help unburden you.

This water source is the nearest from where wolves are seen.

Selling buns!

Here, take this.

- Candied hawthorns! - Quickly go!

This morning when I went up the mountain,

didn’t you want to thank them with those fruits?

Fresh hot buns!

Go! Hurry!

Buns!

Here you go.

Come here!

How come you’re here, child?

Right.

Such nice fruits...

Yes, thanks!

Thank you, good child!

Wolf Boy, you’re awesome!

Now, you not only know how to accept people, but also be good to them.

Good job!

What? You don’t like it when I touch you?

Who taught you this?

- It was me... - Son, you’re so obedient!

- Hurry, hurry look! - Mom is so happy.

Mom loves you. Give me another kiss.

Look! That is love.

Like XIng’er.

You can only do what you did earlier to me.

You cannot even with the wolf pack!

Also those words, you can only say them to me.

I am very fair. I also won’t do these things to anyone else.

If you don’t make me sad,

then I will never hurt you, either.

I believe you, you believe me.

We trust each other. Do you understand?

- What’s wrong? - Your roasted chicken is here!

Here, please try this!

You’re hungry again?

You greedy foodie!

Wolf Boy, I promised my father that I’ll go home earlier today.

I won’t be going up the mountain anymore. You go back by yourself.

Be careful, okay?

I’ll make Wolf Boy a new set of clothes.

After a while, when he goes to meet my dad, he can wear it!
