[Episode 17]

I'm telling you. Stop scratching. It will only get worse.

Bai Chongye, what's wrong with you? Ask him to give you the antidote.

Do you want to see me die in front of you?

Nonsense!

If anything happens to Sheng Wu, you have to pay with your life.

Eldest Brother, he's just a child.

It's just because my mother died early.

Leaving me alone in this world.

I even have to be bullied by you.

Bai Chongye, you think I'm a burden. Don't you?

I will just die then!

I already said that you have to pay with your life, but I can't let you die this easily.

What on earth do you want?

What is this? Why is it so stinky?

It's the water to rinse the rice that has gone bad.

Xia Chunyu!

Haven't you heard sour rice water can get rid of the itch caused by maple sap?

I thought it was Hundred Poison Powder?

You're messing with me?

Come here.

Don't move. I told you not to move.

Listen up. You have to stay in here for four hours

before you can recover. If you get up now,

all the previous efforts will be wasted.

What are you doing?

Can you reach your back?

What? You always have such a wicked mouth. Why are you so quiet today?

No one ever bathed me before.

When I was your age, no one bathed me either.

Your father didn't love you either?

Not as much as your father does.

Forget about him. When I was born,

he sent me to that Tianyuan Medical Hall and let that crappy doctor, Han Qing, keep an eye on me.

Doctor Han is highly skilled in medicine. Why don't you like him?

Every time Bai Chongye goes there, Doctor Han always says...

"E-Everything is f-fine with Z-Zhenzhu.

N-No need to worry about it." What a load of nonsense!

So your name is Bai Zhenzhu?

So what?

Nothing. It's a good name.

Because your father didn't bring you home, you didn't want to learn medicine from Doctor Han,

and you are also raising a poisonous mouse?

You can't call him a mouse! He has a name. His name is Feng Mi.

Every time I get sick and sad, he's my only companion.

Why don't you leave? It's so stinky. Don't pretend to be nice.

Go away! Go away! Leave!

All right, all right. I'll go.

Wipe yourself. Your clothes are over there. Put them on yourself. Don't catch a cold.

It's been three days.

Not even one pigeon has returned.

Nainai.

What smells so good?

You have a sharp nose. I have tasty food here.

Here. Pigeon soup.

Roast pigeon. Chilli pepper and pigeon stir fry.

Where did you find so many pigeons?

Mrs. Zhang at the entrance of the alley made this soup.

Liu from the East Market gave me the roast pigeon.

The stir fry was made by Uncle Li.

Where did they get their pigeons?

I don't think they bought them. I heard they were gifts from somebody. It's strange.

Every household seemed to be cooking pigeons on my way here.

Which idiot do you think is giving out so much pigeon meat?

Me.

I spent all the money I have left on pigeons.

I thought I could do a food delivery business.

Turns out the delivery pigeons have been eaten.

I won't eat it then.

Forget it. Eat.

Maybe I don't have what it takes to start a business.

Not even when I traveled back in time. I just want to yell like a TV show character...

"God, are you messing with me?"

Nainai!

Even the table is bullying me.

Nainai, it looks like the gods have answered you.

What?

Look. A pigeon really flew back!

Delivery pigeon!

Come here!

An order!

"Mapo tofu. Sour duck soup.

Roasted fish. Two Bichun Bubble Waters.

West side of Shilipu. Zhang family."

Nainai, does that mean people order from us and then we send it over?

It seems so.

Nainai, there are more pigeons! All with notes!

That means our dream is a success!

Nainai, our dream came true!

Little Manager Shen, I'll give you 10 million!

I will go to the kitchen and start preparing them now!

Okay. Go, go, go!

Delivery pigeons!

But I remember painting my pigeons' feet yellow.

Why are yours red?

Mrs. Li, your delivery.

Thank you, Miss Ye.

No worries. If you order from me a lot, I'll give you a discount!

I will! You can get back to work, then.

Enjoy.

Next household!

Brother Liu!

Brother Liu! Your delivery!

Master! Master!

I have been ordering from Cupid these days. I spent two taels and three coins.

Two taels and three coins.

Master, I ordered six times. Four taels.

Master, Master.

I ordered once...

Don't be in such a rush.

Aunt Zhang, Uncle Li, Sister Fang...

These are all my regulars.

Remember. Whoever orders more from Cupid...

gets more taels.

We will!

- You must do it well. - We will.

Xia Chunyu!

Xia Chunyu! Come out!

I know you're around here! Come out!

It's you! It must have been you!

You asked Shopkeeper Feng to rent the house to me for a low price.

You kept the Ye women from harassing me.

You spent money to give me business.

What are you trying to do?

Don't think I will be moved.

You have chosen Liu Yiyi.

You're just being a jerk by doing this.

Come out!

Who's there? Stop!

Ding Qi? Why are you here?

I was just wandering around.

Why is it your business?

Hey!

What are you doing? Give those back to me!

Aren't these Cupid's delivery orders?

Turns out it's you!

Give them here!

So what if it's me?

What? You're disappointed that it's not Xia Chunyu?

I'm not.

You're... a pretty good person, actually.

But I need to clear up a few things.

I am listening.

We had a good time at Xinyi Hall because I saw you as a friend.

But that's the limit of our relationship.

Even though I am not with Stupid Donkey anymore, I won't--

Don't, don't.

What are you saying? You think I like you?

Forget that. I only went to Yongcui Pavilion because you like to flirt around.

Before you got married--

I already said I don't remember the past.

It's better you don't remember.

I am the master of Xinyi Court.

Why would I like you, a second-hand woman?

You...

Fine. Tell me why you helped me.

I heard the reason your Yongcui Pavilion

could come back to life

is your rare dishes.

So I intend to invest in your business.

Who gives you the right?

Because of your Xia Stupid Donkey.

I lost 3,000 taels of gold.

I have to get it back. I can't just lose it.

In the future, I will make your business bigger and play against Yongcui Pavilion.

I will take over all of Bai Chongye's guests.

Since you're interested, I can show you a few tricks.

This is the internet mindset. It's called cultivating the habits of customers.

I didn't understand a word of that.

It means you can have some of my shares,

but we have to make it clear.

30/70 profit.

Deal.

However, I have to make some ground rules.

Say it.

First, you can't curse all the time.

Not only will you scare away the customers and it makes us look less classy.

Gods be damned.

- I... - Everytime you say it, you should slap yourself in the face.

Also, you can't say stuff that's disrespectful to women.

We are a love-themed restaurant.

Women are our main customers.

Cut out words like "second-hand products."

Fine. All women are my goddesses. All right?

You can't say that either.

What's wrong with that?

- What? - I won't say it again.

Don't let me hear you say it again.

What's this?

When I was living in the temple as a child, after I finished the morning classes,

I liked to braid these straw grasshoppers.

You are thinking about the past again?

I am thinking, this is probably good for kids to play with.

Kids?

Which kid are you going to play with?

Do you know who is behind all the mess these days?

I just found out Bai Chongye has a son named Bai Zhenzhu.

This is the first time I heard of it.

Why doesn't anyone know he has a son?

I don't think he likes the son very much.

This kid is naughty but his mother died young and his father ignores him.

It's sad.

I have an idea.

Bai Chongye only has one son.

If we capture him, Bai Chongye will listen to us.

No.

Zhenzhu is just a kid.

They don't get along anyway.

I don't think Bai Chongye will hand over the divine weapon even if we capture his son.

Blood is thicker than water.

I don't believe any father would not love his son.

I said no.

But we have not been making any progress.

What do we tell His Highness?

We are only not making progress in this area.

It's not easy to transport 3,000 taels of gold.

You have connections. Help me find out if there's any large shipments in Wuyang County these days.

All right.

But the way I'm pointing out is the easiest.

You won't go that way and will investigate the whereabouts of the gold instead.

Do you not want to hurt Bai Chongye?

Bai Chongye has been good to me.

Prince Yu was also good to you in the past.

Two sincere hearts, but you have to betray one of them.

If you're hesitating so much now, how will you be able to make a decision in the future?

This... or that?

Have you made up your mind?

Please be assured.

I didn't forget why I was here in the Black Wind Fortress.

If the blade of grass is too dry, it's easy to break it in half.

You're taking it out on the plants after being rejected?

None of your business.

Let me guess.

You probably found out your father and I like drinking.

So you bought alcohol and thought you could drink it with your father.

Your father didn't appreciate the offer and scolded you.

"Why would a kid drink alcohol?"

Stop thinking that you're so smart.

I think I'm smart and you think you're right.

We are a perfect pair.

Who wants to be a perfect pair with you?

Don't leave.

If your father doesn't drink with you, I'll drink with you.

What a joke. Why would I drink with a sissy?

Look at my robes. Do I look like a sissy to you?

Fine. Let's say I do look like a sissy.

If you don't even dare to drink with me, how could you drink with your father?

- Who said I don't dare? - Try it then.

Don't think I don't know you grown-ups' trick of using reverse thinking.

Forget about it then. I'm sleepy anyway.

Wait a moment.

If you lose at drinking, you will kneel here and call me your father.

Also, you need to leave Black Wind Fortress as soon as possible.

Stay as far away as you can.

You want me to call you "father?"

What if you lose then?

That's impossible!

All right then, come on.

A lightweight can't make it to three cups.

It only took three sips for you.

Nonsense!

Seeing the way you're drinking, you will never admit defeat.

Right, I'll never do that.

I just want to know what's so good about you.

Why does my father like you but not me?

- He likes you, too. - You're lying.

Do you know how I found out he was my father?

I went into an icy river to swim on a snowy day.

I was freezing to death. He only gave me one glance.

Then, I followed him and found out he is the master of Black Wind Fortress.

You went through a lot to get your father's attention.

My father likes you so much.

Would he be very sad if I killed you?

You would kill someone to make him sad?

Why not? Everyone has to die. What difference does it make to die early?

Xia Chunyu, you bastard! Let me go!

I'm telling you. Life is precious. No one has the right to take another person's life.

You stay this way. Reflect on yourself.

Let me go!

I am dying!

Seeing that your father likes me so much, I will properly punish you.

You're not my father. You have no right to punish me.

Let me go!

You...

Bai Zhenzhu, wake up! You're not throwing up, are you?

Wait! Wait!

Wash it carefully. This is your punishment for losing at the drinking game.

Who lost?

I was pitying you because your wife left you.

You...

Sad?

A man is not a hero if he's only good at talking.

- I-- - "I am only a kid!"

"I am not a hero anyway." Is that what you were going to say?

Hey, Xia Chunyu, how did you practice your ability to drink?

It's not I'm good. You're just bad.

You... How can I not be so bad?

I'll give you some advice. "Read more, get knowledge, be a good person."

I'll give you a phrase back! "Twice-told story!"

I want to ask you. Why do you have to be good at drinking?

You have no friends.

You can only drink with your father.

Have you never heard of the saying, "People tell the truth after they are drunk?"

Then what?

I just want to ask him why he hates me so much.

He probably won't tell you the truth after he's drunk.

Why not?

Because your father--

Bai Zhenzhu!

Have you packed your things? You need to go back to Tianyuan Medicine Hall immediately.

I'm not going back!

This is not your call!

What's that smell? Have you been drinking?

Right. I did.

So what? I drank with him.

How could you let a child drink?

Eldest Brother, I just wanted him to try and see how bad it feels to be drunk.

- I'm not drunk. - Shut up!

You're getting out of control. I must tell Doctor Han to discipline you.

My father is not dead. Why does he have to tell me what to do?

Right, just because I'm not dead, this is not your call.

I will write to Doctor Han. If you make any more mistakes, he doesn't have to worry about my reputation.

He gets to decide how to punish you or beat you.

Reputation? Worry about your reputation?

Who would care about your reputation?

They will only think I'm a wild child who doesn't have any parents.

You...

Enough, Zhenzhu!

Send him off the mountain this afternoon.

Bai Chongye, you bastard! I hate you!

Hey, Zhenzhu!

Bread fresh out of the oven!

Come check it out!

Fresh new taste and fresh new feeling!

Check it out! Fresh bread. So delicious.

- If you don't like it, you don't have to pay. - Have a taste.

- Bread. - No. No.

Taste it. This is very good.

Nobody is interested in our bread.

It's okay. It takes time for people to get used to new things.

I can't even adjust to the taste. I don't blame people for choosing Qiaojia biscuits.

It must be because you were not loud enough. I'll do it.

Fresh bread! Taste it!

Sheng Sheng, it's pointless to scream like that.

We have to act like we are on tour.

On tour? What's that?

Sang Sang, Sheng Sheng.

Don't you think the combination of your names is very catchy?

Sang Sang and Sheng Sheng.

Sang, Sheng. Oh, I know.

Your names combined will be "sunshine."

Let's make a theme song for our bread.

Can you two dance?

- Dance? - Dance?

Of course!

That's good. I will teach you something new today.

Eldest Brother, Zhenzhu is missing.

What?

He's just hiding because he doesn't want to go back to Tianyuan Medical Hall.

I already convinced him and promised to let him have some fun after leaving the mountain.

He's been staying with me. Where can he go?

He's never kept his words. He can go wherever he wants.

No. He's just a kid.

Do you think anything could happen to him? I searched all over Black Wind Fortress and didn't see him.

If you can't find him, stop looking for him!

With his personality, it's good enough if he doesn't bully others. What could happen to him?

- But... - Don't you have anything better to do?

I will handle my own matters then.

- Eldest Brother? - What now?

Your book is upside down.

We are...

Sunshine Group!

Take it slow! Don't push!

Stand in line!

Zhenzhu?

Come out, Zhenzhu.

Help!

Zhenzhu!

Help!

- Zhenzhu! - Someone help me!

- Help! - Zhenzhu!

Come help me!

Zhenzhu!

- Help! - Zhenzhu!

Help!

Bai Chongye, don't come any closer!

They've hidden somewhere and said they will take your life. Go away!

Don't be afraid. I will drag you up.

I mean everything I said.

Who are you?

You dare to make a scene at my Black Wind Fortress?

Make a guess.

Ding Qi?

That's right. It is me.

Bai Chongye, you stole 3,000 taels of gold from me

and you killed my brother. If I don't kill your offspring,

what's going to happen to my reputation on the streets?

Try touching him if you dare!

A son should repay the father's debt. Why wouldn't I dare?

Zhenzhu!

Bai Chongye! Let go!

Don't be scared. I will save you.

What if you can't?

Then we will die together!

Don't bother.. You hate me so much.

Why don't you say something? Say something!

Say something!

Don't swing! I can't hold on!

Tell me why you hate me!

You're my son. I've never hated you.

Do you like me then?

You are my son. Of course, I like you.

Why did you abandon me then?

- Eldest Brother! - Bai Chongye!

Xia Chunyu?

Zhenzhu! You two...

Hey.

Again? Don't come closer!

Xia Chunyu! Zhenzhu! You bastards!

Eldest Brother, are you okay?

What do you think?

You're good. Added Five Mineral Powder to my firestarter.

I was just copying Guo Bing. This is Zhenzhu's idea.

Nonsense!

How could you push the responsibility onto a child?

Before you got drugged, how did you know Zhenzhu was in the cave?

Oh. You knew about it a long time ago. You even took a few sneak peaks.

Smart-alec.

Eldest Brother, you two are biologically related.

Why didn't you keep him here?

Did you ever hear that the Master Bai of Black Wind Fortress had a son?

- Never. - I didn't want anyone to know.

I understand. You didn't want anyone to know your relationship because that might hurt Zhenzhu.

The Ding Qi that you played thought so.

I'm sorry.

There's a certain kind of person who is destined to be alone.

They're a curse on their father, brother, wife, and son.

You can't believe all that.

Do you remember

when Jiang Yue tricked us, the sound of the music made my head hurt?

Indeed.

You once said no music is allowed in Black Wind Fortress. Why?

My parents died early.

My younger brother, Bai Chongyue, and I relied on each other for survival.

He was just like you. He loved music, especially the flute.

So when I saw your flute,

it felt familiar.

Chongyue and I were orphans without a home.

One time, at a dinner banquet,

he played the flute and got rewarded pearls by a rich man.

A few rich boys were jealous.

- Give me the pearls (zhen zhu)! - Don't steal my pearls!

Give me! Give me the pearls!

- Give me that! - No!

These are mine! How do you deserve such nice things?

Chongyue! Chongyue!

Run!

Chongyue!

Chongyue! Wake up!

What happened to you? Chongyue!

Pearls...

Older Brother, I'll give you the pearl.

Chongyue! Wake up!

That's when I swore I had to build my own Utopia.

It would be a safe place for the lonely and the poor. No more bullying.

From that day on, the sound of music gives me a severe headache.

So you're collecting all these pearls for him?

I want to give him the best pearls in the world.

But he's no longer here.

Eldest Brother.

I caused the death of my parents and my brother.

My wife also died in my enemy's hands.

If you were me... would you keep Zhenzhu by your side?

Instead of believing in fortune telling, I'd rather believe that man can overcome fate.

Don't you believe in karma?

I killed so many people and my hands are covered in blood.

Eldest Brother.

Bai Chongye, you're so filled with it.

That fortune telling and karma nonsense, I won't take it to heart!

I am not afraid of death.

Do you have a lot of enemies? I will stay here and protect you.

I will kill them if they come!

Nonsense! Killing people is not a child's business!

They can kill you, but I can't kill them?

Eldest Brother, you see it.

Zhenzhu's nature is good. Now he's so vicious,

so if you don't educate him, it'll turn into a bigger mistake in the future.

I can't teach him.

I don't want you to teach me. You don't care about me.

You don't love me, either. You said those general principles just to make yourself feel better.

They are all excuses!

Enough, Zhenzhu!

You are a smart kid. When you were three, you were very sick.

Doctor Han saved your life. He said you're smart.

You could memorize the names of many difficult medicines.

When you were fjour, you were good at swimming. You could swim for four or five miles.

When you were five, you missed your mother. In order to buy her a dress,

you stole money from the Medical Hall.

You came up with many weird nicknames for me. I know you hate me.

You hate me for abandoning you. You like sweet foods, especially honey.

So, you named your rodent Feng Mi. (means "honey")

This strand of hair...

I cut it when you were asleep before I had to send you away.

Whenever I miss you, I look at it.

It's like you're still with me.

You think I don't care about you?

- Bai Chongye, you-- - I've said everything I should say.

Go back to the medical hall.

I will not go back.

Xia Chunyu.

Zhenzhu, do you remember you lost the bet to me?

What?

You made a bet that your father wouldn't risk his life to save you.

The result? You lost. Call me "Father."

Why would you say this now?

Hurry and say it.
