The Starry Night, The Starry Sea Season 2

Episode 10

- Who could it be?- Who could it be?

- Do not make any sounds.- Okay.

- Dachun, you're home.- Yes, I am here.

Dachun, it is like this.

Isn't it you have always been unable to settle your marriage matters?

It just so happen that the niece of the in-law of the second older brother of my husband

also is not yet married.

I was thinking of pairing you two together.

You are going to set me up for marriage? That seems to be inappropriate.

What is inappropriate about it? You are already quite old.

You two are both unmarried. What if you two like each other when you meet?

Dachun, you don't have other people living in your house, right?

Nothing. Just me alone.

Isn't that a person? Who is this?

I am his father.

Dachun, isn't your father already dead?

And also...the age doesn't fit too.

That is right.

Auntie, Liu, right?

I am Ma Dachun's stepfather.

I was instructed by her mother to visit him from afar.

- Really?- Really?

Of course, it is real. Am I right, son?

Father!

Then Dachun's father, it is good that you are here.

I was even telling Dachun earlier that I am arranging a possible marriage partner for him.

What do you think about this?

Of course, it's good.

Then this matter is settled then.

I heard that the prefectural governor has already ordered the arrest of the merpeople.

Why still arrest them? Against beasts like that, they should be killed when seen.

Who are you calling a beast?

I am talking about the merpeople, so what?

Try saying it again.

I will say whatever I want! What? You want a fight?!

Come, I have been enduring you for so long.

Let us fight then! Come!

Stop! All of you, stop!

Okay already.

All of you do not want to work anymore, is that it?

What do are you two treating this place?! If you do not want to work anymore, then leave!

Zhang Tiezhu, remember this. The merpeople are my friends.

If you dare insult the merpeople again in front of me, I surely will not let you off.

Only a stupid person like you still treat the merfolk as friends.

Just wait and see. There will come a day that your wife and children

will get killed by merpeople, let me tell you!

Okay already. Lessen the words you say!

Ancient people create zithers to correct their thoughts. To guide them in governing, to harmonize the six natural factors, and to aim for world peace.

It is a gentleman's means of cultivation.

Yet Brother Mingzhe's zither sound is full of impatience and hatred. It really is against the initial intentions of the ancient people.

Qing Ci, why are you back?

The two of us had always been perfect in merging our sword and zither.

Leaving you now here playing the zither alone, isn't that too lonely?

Qing Ci, it is not safe for you to stay here for long. Go to my house first.

Once I am done with work at the shipyard, let us then have a good drink and only get home when we are both very drunk.

Okay. Not going home until we are drunk.

Say you...if you want to disguise as a man, you better do it very well later.

If you show any inconsistencies, we all will be dead!

I am talking to you, do you hear me?

Auntie Liu, my father's brain is not that good.

Wrong.

Not bad. This one then. Change to this one.

That is too ugly.

This is out of fad already. I am not wearing that.

How is it out of fashion? I feel that it is quite pretty.

If you wear something that will not satisfy me, it might affect my mood.

If my mood gets affected, it will be easy for me to expose myself.

- Stop!- Are you changing or not?

Fine, I'll wear it.

Good boy.

Uncle Liu, come, come in. Go inside and have a seat.

Isn't this the Miss Bai that asked me to write a poem for her last time?

You like that guy selling meat at the western street--

Don't mention him anymore. He dumped me.

After thinking about it, I still feel that it is Brother Dachun that's better.

Really?

Dachun, you dressing up like this today,

is really so original.

If you ask me,a perfect choice for a husband like Dachun,

is really so hard to find even when you are carrying a lantern.

Brother Dachun, when I actually first met you,

I already have a very special feeling.

I then decided that I will not marry anyone in this lifetime other than you.

Since the kids already met each other,

how about we just decide on this marriage already?

Look at my brain. You two have arrived for quite a long time already

yet I still haven't made you two any tea.

Ma Dachun, what are you still standing there for?

Come. Come. Auntie LIu, come sit here.

A huge matter like marriage cannot be treated as child's play. We need not rush it now.

Husband and wife depend on fate.

If fate has already come, why still wait?

Ma Dachun! I thought you are different from other guys!

No! No! You misunderstood!

If you ask me, Dachun just had a moment of carelessness. Do not be mad anymore.

Our Dachun has a weird illness.

That is when he sees pretty ladies,

he then will have these weird movements.

Especially when he sees someone older, the more he feels seduced by it.

I really never thought that you are this kind of beast hiding in human's clothing!

- Let's go!- I really did not!

- Auntie LIu!- What kind of person was that?!

Listen to me explain!

Wife!

Wife, I am home!

Wife!

Wife! Wife!

Wife, what is wrong with you?

Wife!

Wife...

What is wrong?

Merfolk...

Listen to me explain!

- I am going to kill you! You murderer!- Calm down a little!

I am not the one who killed your wife and child!

Other than you, who else?!

They clearly died under the hands of merpeople!

I really am blind that I lured a wolf into my home.

My son isn't even a year old.

Kill the merpeople!

Kill the merpeople!

Kill them! Kill them!

Ming Zhe, calm down a little! Your wife and child were not killed by me!

Once you have calm down, I will come back to explain things to you.

He clearly promised me! Why isn't he back yet?

Wu Julan, you liar!

Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Sparkling Stars Team @ Viki

Wu Julan?

Did you miss me?

You finally decided to come back?

It's only been two days, and you're already calling me a liar.

If I still didn't come back, who knows what you'd call me?

How did you know I called you a liar?

You eavesdropped on me!

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have made Ms. Lu wait, or eavesdrop on Ah Li.

Then since you want to apologize, be sincere. Stay here with me for a few days.

What is it? You don't want to?

Of course not.

Right now, the relationship between the merfolk and humans is so tense.

As a prince, I must think on behalf of the merfolk.

So, I cannot often stay in Chang Le.

Then when are you going back?

Before the sun rises.

So soon?

What is this?

If you miss me,

then come here and blow into this seashell.

No matter where I am, I will rush to come see you.

Really?

Prince. Where did you go just now?

Since you are keeping guard here, you must have an answer already.

Chang Le City is currently rounding up the merfolk.

Even regular citizens dislike us.

You shouldn't put yourself in danger for a human girl.

I know. I have my own plans.

For Ah Li, it is worth it.

Also, I came back safely. Don't worry.

Rest early.

You've come?

I said that once you calmed down, I'd come explain to you.

There's no need!

Die!

Draw your sword!

You're my brother! My sword,

will not be used to fight my own brother!

You killed my wife and child, and you still say that you're my brother?

Ming Zhe, I never did anything that would hurt you.

I can swear to the heavens!

I just know that my wife and child died in the hands of merfolk!

You merpeople are all beasts devoid of any conscience.

Killing merfolk is getting rid of trouble for the world!

Useless thing.

Qing Ci!

Do you know now?

Qing Ci didn't lie to you.

The one who killed your wife and child wasn't him. It was me.

It looks like the trust between human and merfolk is nothing much.

You claim that he is your brother,

Actually, your relationship cannot endure any bit of provocation.

My Lord. Another murder occurred in Chang Le City.

After my investigation,

I discovered something strange.

A black fish scale?

Interesting. This is the first time I've seen a black fish scale.

Jiu Feng. Do something for me immediately.

[Cisun Teahouse]

Changzhou Cisun?(Cisun is a kind of tea)

[Changzhou Cisun]

Since you understand tea, why not sit down?

It's you.

So it was you, Sir. What is your name?

Mo Heng. What about you?

My name is Ming Zhu.

Miss Ming Zhu. It looks like we really have fate.

Then Miss Ming Zhu, can you tell me now,

since you cannot see, how could you determine that day

the texture and color of the tea?

Very easy. Just by smelling you can tell its form.

Just by smelling and you can know its form?

Perhaps you have heard that blind people's other senses are stronger than others.

The spices that the teahouse owner added to his tea that day are contradicting each other.

They not only did not improve the tea flavor, they even made its flavor more dull.

I thought it was strange.

Hence, I deliberately probed him and his reaction showed him to be excessively guilty.

From the shopkeeper's reaction,

you can already conclude that he used tea leaves that have grown molds to make the tea

and a tea made from tea leaves with molds will surely be turbid and grayish.

It seems like you are someone who understand tea.

To tell you the truth, I frequently travel to the southern ocean and sell tea leaves for a living.

So that's how it is.

Miss Ming Zhu, I'd imagine that your tea making skills are extraordinary.

You will know once you give it a try, Sir.

This mouth of mine! I just didn't like Ming Zhu and wanted to get rid of him.

Never thought that what I said would come true.

Their entire family was really killed by the merfolk.

How could we blame you? You should blame the merfolk!

Qing Ci really is cruel! It wasn't enough to kill his wife and child.

He even killed his own friend!

And Ming Zhu always spoke on his behalf too!

Shut up!

Qing Ci worked here for so many years. Do you not know how he is?

I don't believe that Qing Ci killed Ming Zhi's entire family!

But that day in the streets, when Ming Zhe was fighting it out with Qing Ci,

we personally heard him saying that his wife and child were killed by Cing Zi.

-A lot of person heard that, right?-That's right, I heard it too!

Alright, disperse!

Dachu, you must be tired from reading for so long!

Drink some tea to wet your mouth!

Dachun!

Chun Chun! Eat a tangerine! I peeled it for you!

Hey! What are you getting mad about?

Anyway, you have fear of women. Even if I did not interfere, you two still would not end up together.

That's right! Who told me to have such a phobia? I deserve being alone forever!

D-don't be sad.

Who said that you're all alone?

At the worst...I'll stay with you.

Don't joke around like that.

I wasn't joking!

Deserving to die... All deserve to die!

There isn't a single good merfolk! They all deserve to die!

Don't talk so much! The merfolk might come after you!

Come!

Let them come!

I'll kill each one I see! If two come,

I'll kill a pair!

Hey!

Who are you?

I came looking for you,

so you can kill me.

Murder! A merfolk killed someone!

-Come with me!-A merfolk killed!

After him!

Come with me!

He must not have gone far! Search!

Yes!

You and I are strangers, but you helped me.

What motives do you have?

You don't recognize me, but I know who you are.

I know that you are the sole culprit of the recent crimes here.

I also know that you are doing this

so you can provoke the hatred between the humans and the merfolk.

But don't be nervous. Your secret is fully safe with me.

You are not exposing me then it means that you have something to blackmail me.

It doesn't count as a threat. But I can tell that you truly hate merfolk.

What a coincidence.

I also deeply hate merfolk.

You and I can work together.

What vengeance do you hold against the merfolk?

Just to take revenge, you are even willing to sacrifice the lives of your co-humans.

Aren't you the same?

The reason isn't important. The importantthing is, as long as we work together, we can succeed.

How about it? Are you willing to join hands with me?

I will not refuse good things that are delivered to my door.

However, if you dare to ruin my plans, I will kill you first.

My Lord, are you okay?

I'm okay.

Working together with such a demon to defeat the merfolk, is it worth it?

As long asI can kill all the merfolk,

I could not only work with a demon.

Even I have to turn into a demon, I am willing to do so.

My child's father!

Another died!

- Creating evil karma.- It has been a long time already yet the government is still unable to find out any truths, whether it is done by humans or by merfolks.

Government officials just know to collect taxes and harvests. When problem arises, they just know to hide from it.

Look at these Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Hao, two useless things.

If this keeps going, who will dare to leave their house?

Starting from today, add reinforcements to Chang'an City!

Search day and night! You must not let go of any clues!

We must catch the culprit and give an answer to the citizens!

-Come here!-What are you doing?

Why are you capturing me?

Stop!

Over there?

Catch him! Catch him!

Don't let him escape! Catch him!

Catch him! It's a merman!

I didn't believe it before, but now I have proof!

The most ruthless beast is good at hiding himself within a vast open space

and then attack in surprise to gain success.

Now, the people have clearly seen that the culprit is a merman.

The merpeople now have become the target of public criticism by human.s

Right now, we can use humans to defeat the merfolk.

You're strange. As a merman,

you want to kill all of your own people.

I don't think that has anything to do with you.

You've misunderstood. I am not interested in your personal matters.

Everyone has deep secrets. We are not exceptions.

I only care if your hatred for the merfolk is the same as me.

You hate merfolk to your bones.

I have only forced myself to live on

with the only goal of getting revenge!

That's good. In this world, what goes around comes around.

That is this world's biggest lie.

Instead of trusting the heavens, why not trust ourselves instead?

As long as they are individuals that hurt me, I will eat their flesh,

drink their blood, and gnaw on their bones.

After investigating, we found out that the numerous murders happening recently were all done by merpeople.

The town is now issuing an order for their arrest. If anyone knows anything but did not report it, he also will not be spared.

While the perpetrators are not yet captured, the whole town will have a curfew.

No one is allowed to leave their houses without any reason. If something important must be done...

The magistrate has finally done something right!

As I see it, cruel beasts like the merfolk should be all killed!

That's right! Beasts are completely irrational.

That's right! If we are merciful, we will only suffer ourselves!

That's right!

Bro, are you not making conclusion so hastily?

There are even good and evil among humans.

There are gentlemen with upright conduct and their are villains with illicit affairs.

How could there not be an exception among the merfolk?

What do you mean by that?

Just one merfolk has turned the entire city into chaos!

It is because they haven't killed anyone related to you yet that is why you are able to say such words with confidence.

Are we supposed to wait until the merfolk have killed us all

before we make a counterattack against them?

-That's right!-Shut up!

The merfolk are kind people! I saw it myself!

We also personally witnessed the merfolk killing, right?

That's right!

Everyone, don't get agitated!

Everyone, listen to me! We cannot, because of one merfolk's wrongs,

destroy the long time affection between us and our merfolk brothers!

Who are brothers with them?

The merfolk are our enemy now! We have to capture them

and then braise and stew them.

Right! Braise and stew them!

- You talking like that...- You two...

Why are you talking on behalf of the merfolk? Are you merfolk too?

That's right, are you merfolk?

Brother Geng Ji, there are too many of them.

A wise man knows not to fight when the odds are against him.

Right! Leave already!

Hurry and leave! They are accomplices of merfolks!

Where is Miss?

-Miss! Miss!-Zixuan!

-Miss!-Zixuan!

Ah Li.

Wu Julan, there's trouble.

What happened?

Then, that culprit is definitely a merman. But who could it be?

Anyways, as soon as there is news, I will tell you.

You must not appear rashly. Wait for me to call you with the seashell.

Ah Li. In a few more days,

after the troubles between human and merfolk are pacified, I will go to the Lu house to propose marriage.

I'll be waiting!

What are you doing?

I read your book '18 Techniques to Get a Guy'.

So I'm going to feed you some congee! Here!

It's so hot!

I just wanted to give you a massage!

Miss Yin Hu, I did save your life before.

Can you be nice and spare me?!

What do you mean by that?

I just want to stay by your side and take care of you!

Alright! Then I agree.

Really?

You're going too quickly! I'm not ready yet!

Lord Guan above, I swear to become brother and sister with Yin Hu today!

From today on, we will suffer and be happy together!

What sworn siblings?!

Don't you want to stay by my side?

I want to become your woman!

Come on!

-Spare me!-Don't be shy!

Don't be like this!

Rape! Help me!

Save me! Don't come over here!

King Father. Besides Liu Man Tang, we have no troubles with the humans.

This time, I don't know who holds such deep grudges against the humans

to massacre people in Chang Le City.

Right now, the citizens in Chang Le town are getting angry.

If we don't clear our name soon, I'm afraid the entire merfolk tribe will be in trouble.

When that time comes, war will be unavoidable.

Your Majesty, I am willing to bring soldiers ashore and capture the culprit!

You can't.

We are now in a situation where there is mutual hostility.

If you brought soldiers ashore and openly went after the criminal,

you would be acting with good intentions,

but the humans would misunderstand.

Julan. You should investigate this secretly.

Yes, Father.

Big Brother.

Ah Li.

I've heard about the merfolk murders.

If this keeps going on, will the magistrate office really order to kill all merfolk?

I've heard about what the people are saying. Merfolk are not humans.

They lived in Chang Le for many years.

yet instead of being grateful for the generosity of the citizens, they repaid it with hateful acts.

If the magistrate office orders mass killings of merfolk now,

that is also just going with what the citizens want and nothing to be criticized about.

But public opinion is public opinion.

As for how we'll deal with the merfolk, leave that to Lord Qin.

Lord Qin is a very fair and righteous person.

He has always been a fair judge in investigating crimes.

Right is right. Those who do wrong will not be spared.

I believe that he will discover the truth soon and give justice to everyone.
