You want to buy some shoes, kid?

Steamed buns! Sponsored by dragon spinners!

Come on, hurry!

Stand in line! Come on!

- Stand in line! - Give me one!

- One each, get in line! - Don't push!

Don't snatch!

- Are you in the martial arts tournament? - No.

- Then beat it! - Move it!

Thanks.

- Move it! - Go to hell!

Trying to sponge off the rest of us, huh?

Those aren't meant for you. Eat these.

- What now? - I don't know.

- Let's ask San go. - Stop, stop!

Very well.

What is it, mister?

Congratulations! The young lady has found a good husband.

I wish them happiness and marital bliss.

- Best of luck. - Is that it? You think we're beggars?

Please, let us through. We don't want to miss the auspicious hour.

Don't mind her.

So, then...?

Sirs, please let us pass.

Maybe we should take a look at the bride!

What are you looking at?

They're a motley crew. Let's go and mind our own business.

Money!

Thank you. Let's carry on.

The martial arts tournament is starting!

Excuse me.

The aim is for them to learn from each other, so both sides benefit.

- Tell them to stop. - Sorry, magistrate yuan.

You're new to the post and maybe unfamiliar with the rules.

They were created by general nalan.

The match won't end until one side has lost or has declared defeat.

Stop the fight or someone will get killed.

Don't worry. They signed a contract, we're not liable.

If they die, it's fate.

My reward... give me my reward!

- Boss, do we reward him? - A loser like him? What's the use?

Disclaimer contract

shall we continue?

Yes, sir.

- Continue the tournament! - Who's up next?

Huang long, the single spear.

Fight!

They're seriously trying to take each other's life.

I'd do the same for a reward of fifty taels of silver.

- Fifty taels? - Move aside!

- What was that for? - Go to hell!

You talk too much! I've bet big on him.

Excuse me, how can ijoin in the tournament?

Join in? I could knock you out with one blow.

Don't bet on the fat man with the knife, he'll lose. Watch.

What are you talking about? Are you saying I'm gonna lose?

Sure. His stance is bad, not powerful enough.

Damn you! Damn you!

Hold on. One after the other!

I can't hear you, slow down.

Alright, move over.

Stop!

Arrest that man!

Who gave you permission to gamble here?

- I've been doing this for years! - Nonsense!

General nalan never allowed gambling.

- What's going on, boss? - Don't address me.

How dare you gamble here?

Don't you have any respect for the magistrate?

- Take him away. - Yes, sir.

Hey! Boss!

That's all for today!

- Take him to the magistrate's office. - Yes, sir.

- To the magistrate's office! - Let's go!

I'm glad the boss sent you to help me.

This is a dead end...

The suspect has escaped! After him!

- Is he dead? - What now?

- Teacher. - Have a seat.

Pay up!

Hurry.

- Always demanding money from me. - Unbelievable!

It's extortion in broad daylight. It's lawless.

Around here, it's not that big a deal.

People come from all over to fight in the tournament.

Many are willing to die for ke he-pu. You can't catch them all.

I'll arrest as many as I can. I won't allow them to continue.

They're only small potatoes.

You should go after ke he-pu, he's behind everything.

I'll inform the general about gambling in the martial arts tournament.

General nalan is manchurian, and so is ke he-p...

You must be sure of your convictions.

Othennise, a new district magistrate like yourself may die in an accident.

- The suspect is dead. - What?

The suspect has been killed, sir.

That's why you shouldn't act rashly.

You must have Patience.

- What a coincidence. - Come on, it's our turn next.

Let's see what's inside.

- Time's up. Next two. - Come on, it's our turn!

- I didn't see anything. - It's your father.

Run!

I'll be in trouble if father finds me dressed as a man.

Let's split up!

Excuse me, how do I get to this address?

- Well? - I can't read.

Why did you bother if you can't even read?

Excuse me, can you give me directions for here?

Sorry to bother you. Can you tell me where this address is?

Brother!

It's smudged! Totally smudged!

Hey, brother!

- Please read this address for me! - Let go of me!

- Try to remember it! It's all smudged. - Let go! I don't know anything!

Only you know the address! Please...

It's the address for the four seasons weavers.

Can you tell me where the four seasons weavers is?

- This is it. - Ah! I'm so stupid! Thanks, my friend!

Four seasons weavers

So nice.

Are you blind?

They're ruined.

- Hurry up! - Leave me some!

Good evening.

Having dinner?

I'll have the money I owe you in two days...

I'm not here for you.

Lady boss, I'd like to discuss something with you.

The dragon spinners would like to buy your four seasons weavers

for one thousand taels.

Save your breath. I won't sell.

Three thousand, then.

I said no. Please leave.

- You've said enough! Leave! - It's not for sale!

Lady boss, three thousand is a good price.

- What's wrong with you? - Oh, very well, then.

Eat up.

Lady boss, don't be so stubborn...

I inherited the four seasons weavers. I won't sell, no matter what.

I worry you won't be able to make a living when you're old.

Why don't you come live with me? I'll take care of you.

- Get out now! - Why are you so angry?

You've been a widow for so long, I'm doing you a favor.

You... you asked for it!

Oh, no! My shoes are gone.

Where are you going?

- Don't be so rude. - Hey!

- Run! - Go!

Brother duan...

You're duan qing-yun?

- And you are...? - I'm guan hou-ying's son.

He told me to look for you before he died.

I'm known as duan nan here, not duan qing-yun.

- Thank you, young man. - Thank you for the food this afternoon.

Come in.

This is your bed.

Great.

- What are you doing? - It's very comfortable.

Stay here from now on, and help them to run errands.

I hope you remember what your father told you.

- I will remember. - I really hope so.

Are you keeping something for my father?

Yes, I'll return it to you later.

- I'm going to sleep. - Hey...

- Yes? - Wash your feet.

That's strange, they're not as dirty as usual.

And clean up when you're done. Don't make a mess.

Got it!

Those are mine, but you can wear them.

Thanks!

Wait, wait!

Wait... almost done!

Good night. I'm off to sleep now.

- Thank you for letting feng-yao stay. - You're welcome.

You always dry the flowers on the 15th of every month.

- The dye comes out better this way. - Why?

I'm not sure, my mother told me so.

You could get feng-yao to do this.

No, this is a handed-down secret.

I must do it myself, I can't let the secret out.

Oh? But you told me about it.

It's hard for a person to carry so much burden.

I can relax after telling you.

I'm just a worker, I could leave anytime.

Leave? Be sure to give me enough notice.

Sure.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

If only it was like this every night.

If it was like this every night, it wouldn't be special.

Dragon spinners

boss, this bird has won many prizes.

Huh? It's useless, throw it away!

The other fellow's bird was superior, but your bird didn't do too badly.

Losers are worthless!

- Get me a more aggressive bird! - Yes, sir.

Boss!

These three won their bouts. They're reporting for duty.

Pick two and send them to work for general nalan.

- The other one can work at home. - Yes. Follow me.

Boss, this is chen who we sent to work at the four seasons weavers

to steal samples of the threads.

Please take a look, boss.

How come our dye is so much worse? Just look at it!

You know nothing. You're useless!

Their dye is made from a handed-down secret

that only the lady boss knows.

I don't care what method you use. I must own the four seasons weavers!

- Yes, boss. I'll make it so. - Go!

Out! Out!

Boss, magistrate yuan has been keeping a close watch on me lately...

- You think I'm scared of that young brat? - But he's a magistrate after all.

If he keeps interfering, I'll make sure he doesn't live long.

Oh, no! Pei from the dragon spinners has brought a gang here.

Lady boss! Lady boss! We have a problem!

- Take him back! - No! No!

Help! No! Let me go!

Hey! What do you think you're doing here?

He gambled with me and owes me money!

- No way! I've been set up! - Who asked you?

Are you trying to kill him? What's the big deal, owing you money?

- Are you going to pay his debt? - Very well.

It's five hundred taels. Can you afford that?

I'm asking you, country bumpkin!

Damn you!

You're beating people up again.

Sorry... let's sort this out.

Stop that!

I'll pay what he owes. But I don't have the cash now.

- Give me half a month. - Fine.

But I want the four seasons weavers as security.

- You can't do that, lady boss. - Please, no!

Don't think about it too long. I fear the old man might not make it.

- Take him away! - Miss!

Wait!

It's a deal.

Sign this contract to that effect.

- Lady boss! - Don't fall for his trap!

Don't sign it!

Move aside!

- Lady boss... - It's not your problem.

They're after the four seasons weavers.

- But, miss... - Don't worry.

If we make the cloth quickly, we can pay them back.

- Get to work. - To work!

Let's start working!

Faster!

Come on.

Come here to pick flowers for the dye from now on.

The dragon spinners have put you on a black list.

- I want you out of the way. - You didn't let me strike him.

How come neither you nor my father want me to fight?

"The hunting dog dies in the mountains eventually,

"and a general won't avoid death in battle."

Your father and I once were generals.

In the end, I had to change my name and move here.

But it was worse for your father.

He lost all his martial arts skills, and then died in his hometown.

We don't want you to end up like us.

Understand?

I understand.

Just bear with it. You won't have to pick flowers on your own for long.

Thanks!

Delivery from the four seasons weavers.

- Hey, kid! - Yes?

Come here. Take your money.

- Thanks. - Wait, you need to sign.

You collected the money, so sign here.

Take this.

Sign here. Go on, sign.

Go on!

Wake up! What are you doing?

- I'll collect the money next time. - Hey? What's wrong with him?

To teach well, you deeply dwell.

Then mencius' mother, chose her neighbor.

At mencius' sloth, she cut the cloth.

Dough by name, fulfilled his aim.

His five sons became famous ones.

What's a father? A good teacher.

What's a teacher? A strict preacher...

Hey, kids! Sorry to disturb you.

Can you tell me how I can study here?

- Tell me, please? - Too small.

Stop laughing and tell me. How can I study here?

I'll kill you!

- Who hit me? - I did!

You...

The last time...

What do you want here?

To study.

I can't read.

I want to...

You can't write at all?

Not even your name?

- What's your name? - Guan feng-yao.

Guan feng-yao... oh!

After you've learnt to write your name, I'll let you study here.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

What are you doing?

Writing practice. I hope the light's not bothering you.

It's fine. Continue.

I've finished.

What's he trying to write?

- Why are you standing here? - It's punishment for being late.

What's that?

A gift for the teacher.

- Teacher, I can write my own name. - Really? Show us, show us.

Son of a bitch

my name.

Your name is son of a bitch!

- Why did you play a trick on me? - Because you... you groped me!

That was my fault last time,

but you are educated, you should understand.

I want to study here, because I can't read or write.

There's no need to play tricks on me.

- What's this? - It's a gift from son of a bitch!

- Who's the offering for? - My late husband.

You must miss him.

I never met him.

The marriage was arranged before we were born.

He died when he was twelve years old.

And you've been living in widowhood since?

Everyone considers me as a widow.

My mother made me a wedding dress. I never got to wear it.

- Did you get burnt? - No.

I made a desk for you. You can sit here and write from now on.

No! I'll never write again!

Guan feng-yao

it's your name.

Come on.

And the other one.

Now they won't fall off.

Thanks.

Hey, wait.

- What's this? - For you, to eat.

- Smells good. - I made them.

Come on, come on.

Soon I won't need to pick flowers for dye. I'll be at the four seasons weavers.

- And you could study here. - Gmm.

- Sir. - This is my father.

Greetings.

Dinner's ready. I've been waiting for you.

Come here a moment.

This is for you. Put it in water.

- Good night! - Good night!

Who's he?

He works at the four seasons weavers.

That's not a job with prospects.

He works hard, and he wants to study here.

Your senior yuan studied hard for 10 years to be where he is today.

Think it over.

He knows martial arts.

He won't have a bright future. He'll just be someone's bodyguard!

Come in.

Set them on fire.

You said you were going to steal some clothes, not set the place on fire.

Hurry! Faster! Faster!

Fire! Fire!

- Hurry! - Put out the fire!

Why did you set the place on fire?

Put out the fire! Put out the fire!

- Hurry! Come help! - Come on!

Come help!

Push the racks down!

We're finished... finished!

Get water!

- Put out the fire! - Hurry!

Careful! Hurry!

Tell us, why did you do it?

Why? The lady boss is so kind to you!

How could you? How?

Stop beating him!

It'll do no good. Just pack up and send him off.

Hold on, lady boss.

Despite working overtime, there isn't enough dye.

I'll give you the dyes tomorrow.

I've been working here for years,

it's impossible to make the dyes in such short time.

That's right.

- The dyes are ready. - They're ready?

Go help.

Give me a hand.

Lady boss!

Lady boss, are you alright?

- I was poisoned while preparing the dyes. - Poisoned? How come?

Rushing the process can result in getting poisoned.

Go buy a gourd for me, hurry!

You...

Hand over the bastard who started the fire!

What are you looking at? Can't you read?

Son of a bitch

get him!

Trying to escape?

Get up!

- Give me back the I.O.U., you fool! - I don't know where it is.

Are you sure?

- Are you sure you don't know? - Stop... I know...

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

I must finish eating the whole gourd.

Come look, everyone!

Gather round, everyone!

Come in, quick!

This is our mortgage deed.

Well done!

Madam, I'm saved!

Calm down, calm down.

- There's another one! - Another one?

- What's this? I can't read. - What is it?

It's the property lease for the dragon spinners.

What's wrong? Why are you so quiet?

What's wrong?

Tell me!

- What's going on? - Excuse me...

What is it?

- Leave right away! - Why? What did I do?

You've made a big mistake.

The dragon spinners will come after you.

I'm not scared, I can fight them off.

- Then you refuse to leave? - I do!

Come here!

Your father told me to pass this on to you. Take it.

You think you're a martial arts expert? Then use that.

If you beat me, you can stay.

If you lose, you leave right away!

- Go! - You can't order me around!

If you don't leave, you'll drag everyone here into trouble.

Be careful on the road.

Damn you, I've only been away for two days,

and the house lease has been robbed!

You're all useless!

- We can get it back. - Get it back? You think you can fight him?

If you could, we wouldn't be in this position!

Boss, he really is very skillful.

If he's that skillful, you can pay with your life!

I must teach that iota lesson.

- Who is it? - It's feng-yao, looking for xiaolian.

- It's late, she's gone to bed. - Teacher hua!

It's important.

I'll be frank with you.

I don't want you seeing her. Don't come here again.

Could you tell her I'm going back to my home village?

Is feng-yao here for me?

He wants me to tell you that he's returning home.

- Why didn't you call me? - I said you'd gone to bed.

How could you?

He's only here for the tournament. He'll leave once he's made his money.

He's not like the rest. He only wants to work here.

I'm not wrong about him.

Thanks, sir!

One more passenger and then we can set sail.

Young man, welcome on board.

Thanks.

- Wait! Wait! - It's full.

Please wait for the next one. It won't take long.

Hold on.

- Young man? - What's up?

- Would you disembark? - Why?

Please. Come on, come on.

Welcome on board, sir.

- Hey, that was my place! - The next boat will be here soon.

- But I've already paid. - Here's your money.

- That was my place! - But he paid triple. Sorry.

Set sail!

Feng-yao, I'll take the next boat with you.

Is money that important?

I've made you something to eat.

I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not going back!

Where are you going?

- I won't be looked down on anymore! - Feng-yao, where are you going?

Boss, that's the trouble maker...

I am guan feng-yao, here to claim my reward.

I'm ma zhao. I'm here to claim my reward, too!

Hold on!

Hong zhentian of shanxi!

I've struck gold! I've struck gold! It's great!

- Broken nose! - You killed the dragon spinners' men!

- What did you say? - Come on!

I didn't kill anyone. Let me go! You're lying!

Hey! You're capable of anything!

You killed someone and you're trying to frame him!

I didn't...

Officers, this young man has nothing to do with it.

- This man is responsible for everything. - Not me!

He's the one who committed arson and beat everyone.

- You think I didn't know? - Arrest him! Don't try to escape!

Officers, take him back to the magistrate's office.

I'll explain it all to your supervisor later.

Take him! Go!

Young man, it was a misunderstanding.

I'm sorry about all that. I don't manage my staff very well.

- I'm terribly sorry. - It's not your fault.

How about this, young man?

If you have no objection, I'd like to invite you for a meal at the dragon spinners,

so I can apologize for everything.

- Thank you. - This way, please, young man.

Please.

Let me go! Why are you doing this?

- You two can leave. - Yes, sir.

It's settled, then... Hey, what's this?

The boss said if you're still around, the kid will find out sooner or later.

Wait. I won't show my face around here.

- Sorry, it's the boss' orders. - Hold on. I have money for you...

I've been so loyal, and now you get rid of me?

We'll see who dies first!

- Please. - Please.

Chief guan!

With your excellent skills, only you can fill the post of chief of martial arts.

From this day on, everyone at dragon spinners is under your orders.

Chief guan! We're here to receive your orders!

"Chief guan"?

I instructed someone to buy these for you.

Do you like them?

Chief guan!

Chief guan!

I once killed your cow. So, I'm reimbursing you with two.

You're too generous. Two cows?

You're welcome.

- It's getting late. You should go home. - Very well.

Come on, clear, or we will miss the boat.

We must tell our fellow villagers that he's doing so well now.

Of course.

Boss, I don't get it. Why did you want him to join us?

He could be very useful.

Not only will he win us big money in the ring,

but with him here, no one will dare to mess around with us.

- Boss, pei has escaped! - What?

He's escaped? How is that possible?

- You must find him, and hurry! - Yes, sir!

Come on, bring those over here.

Feng-yao's back!

Presents for everyone. There's one for each of you.

Listen, with me here, I guarantee that the dragon spinners won't bother you.

Oh, great!

It's me, feng-yao.

Aren't these nice? They're new.

- But your face... - An occupational hazard in my line of work.

I have a gift for you.

Look...

- You seem to like this job very much. - Yes. They give me everything I want.

- You're very proud of yourself. - Sure, everyone knows me now.

Can you write your name?

Then how are you different from before?

You still can't write your name.

I don't want this, take it back.

The dragon spinners are hunting me down.

You must help me. Let me hide for a while.

You two, look over there. You, follow me.

Why are they after you?

I worked at the dragon spinners. I know all about their illegal dealings.

That's why they want to silence me for good.

It isn't safe here.

Wait for me at the white tiger cliff. I'll inform magistrate yuan.

Come on, this way.

- Chief guan, the boss needs your help. - What is it?

Someone owes the boss a lot of money, and he refuses to pay his debts.

We need your help to deal with him.

Boss, the fool will fall into our trap this time.

We have him by the pigtail, he'll be totally under our control.

You, to the back, and you, to the corner. Don't let him escape.

That's him. Don't let him run.

- Teacher! - Men, come help!

What happened, teacher?

I helped pei. He knows all about the dragon spinners.

He can help you deal with ke he-p...

Who did this?

Pei is hiding at the white tiger cliff,

five miles outside town.

Teacher! Get the doctor!

The doctor! Now, hurry! Help him inside!

Get the doctor! Hurry!

My instructions were to bring him here! Who told you to kill him?

- Boss, me and chief guan... - Stop making excuses!

He's magistrate yuan's teacher.

Now that he's dead, magistrate yuan will come after us.

We must keep this to ourselves. No one must find out about this.

Othennise you'll be in trouble!

- Dismiss them! - Yes, sir!

Get out! Out!

Chief guan, there is no need to worry.

I shall take care of the matter. Go get some rest.

Find someone to kill pei and magistrate yuan as soon as possible.

Yes, sir.

What kind of rock is this? What's it got to do with making dye?

It's very rare.

The reason our dye is superior is because of this powdered rock.

So, that's the reason?

Now you've told me, it's no longer a family secret.

I'm telling you because I know you won't divulge it.

Everyone at the four seasons weavers depends on these rocks.

Now I know.

Sir, he's dead.

Damn it! We're too late.

That's him!

Run, sir!

Careful, sir. Hurry!

Help! Help us!

Run, sir!

I'll see what's going on.

Go on, sir! Go!

- Stop him! - Run, sir!

Help!

- Who is that man? - I don't know.

Let's go.

- Are you unharmed? - This is magistrate yuan.

- Magistrate yuan. - Thank you.

May I know your name?

I was simply doing my duty. My name's not important.

Goodbye, sir.

Let's go.

Chief guan!

Chief guan!

Let me.

Chief guan? Chief guan!

Are there any other fighters at the four seasons apart from you?

I... can't tell you.

He's spreading rumors that you're a spineless traitor.

Duan nan.

Duan nan?

That's not his name, his real name is duan qing-yun.

He and my father were once the best fighters in the capital.

Why do you insist on going out this evening?

I promised to make a delivery. I must keep my word.

I see.

Here we are. Wait for me.

Ah, you're here.

You wish to buy something, sir?

- Thank you, madam. See you again. - No, thank you.

For love, for an undying devotion

for love, for a magical moment

love is profound

and I shan't regret waiting all this time...

Brother duan, I'm surprised to see you in this weather. Welcome.

- How's business? - Not bad.

- Brother duan. - Bring us a few dishes.

Quickly. Please have a seat.

Brother duan, would you like some wine?

- No wine. - I'll have a small pot of wine.

You shouldn't drink wine. You're not fully recovered.

I feel much better now.

It's my birthday, so join me in a drink.

Oh, wonderful! My treat, then! Warm up the wine, my dear!

Wait here for me.

I'll be right back.

Have some tea.

- Excuse me, I'd like to buy... - The blusher?

- Yes. - I knew you'd be back.

- I wrapped it up for you. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

Are you blind?

- Sorry. - Watch where you're going!

Wanted fugitive

sooner than I expected.

Aren't you going to wait a little longer?

I could heat up the dishes for you.

No, thank you.

Goodnight.

Wanted fugitive

He should have talked to me first.

- Magistrate yuan. - Brother duan.

- Leave us. - Yes, sir.

Ke he-pu has discovered who you really are.

He reported it to the court. There's nothing I could do.

And?

I should handle this impartially.

But if you help me get rid of ke he-pu,

I could pretend that I've never seen you before.

- You're offering me a deal? - Ke he-pu is our common enemy.

If he knows you're in the four seasons weavers,

he'll send guan feng-yao after you, and guan will die for sure.

No matter what happens,

I'll report to the court that duan qing-yun is dead.

From now on, you're just a laborer called duan nan.

You don't have a choice in the matter.

The crime you committed was a capital offence.

Brother duan...

Have you nothing to say?

Why are you treating me like this?

You must tell me if you're planning on leaving!

I'm telling you now.

I'm leaving.

I don't know what tomorrow holds for me.

I can't offer you anything.

I won't regret it.

They made a deal last night. Please tell ke he-pu to be extra careful.

- And see him out. - Yes, sir.

Boss! Boss, we have news from the magistrate's office.

Magistrate yuan has sent duan qing-yun after you.

He's a martial arts expert. Only guan feng-yao can deal with him.

All that silly kid does is drink and practice his writing.

- He's useless. - What do we do, then, boss?

He who strikes first gains the advantage.

Invite duan qing-yun to the restaurant using the kid's name.

Brother duan...

Will you be returning?

If I'm not back before dinner, don't wait for me.

This is...

You know the dragon spinners killed my father?

You know... you know everything.

- This is for you. - Why?

She doesn't wish to see you.

- Has he gone? - Yes.

- Will duan kill him as he works for ke? - No, guan knows nothing.

Ke he-pu used guan's name to lure duan into a trap.

What I'm worried about is that duan will be ambushed.

- Here, take this money. - Thank you. I'll go now.

- Where are you off to? - My home village.

- Farewell. - Take care.

- Welcome, brother duan. - Thanks.

Brother duan, your favorite wine from shaoxing.

Brother gui.

Thanks for taking care of me all these years.

Not at all. Enjoy your wine. I'll make you something to eat.

- Ah gui, don't go. - Let go!

- Listen to me... - Don't try to stop me!

- Ah gui, don't go. - What do you know?

- Don't go. - Let me go!

- Listen! - Let me go! Did you hear me?

Brother duan!

Forgive me. They've got my son.

I didn't want to do this to you!

It's not your fault.

Brother duan!

Guan fu...

Wrong! Your turn.

Feng

correct! Come here.

- Oh, thank you! - Me, too! Me, too!

What are you doing?

My father's been killed.

They told me that you were there that night.

Duan doesn't want you to be used again,

so he's gone to the restaurant knowing it's a trap.

Are you just going to sit here?

Don't wait. Let's eat.

- We should wait for brother duan. - Let's eat.

- Brother duan! - Go!

Brother duan! Brother duan!

I can only do this once.

- Brother duan! - Run, kid!

And remember the skills that your father taught you!

Waiting for you

in the midnight rain

- bring him back. - Yes, ma'am.

My life has no future

but you made such a difference to me

through all the hardship

we had something to hope for

though our love has no future...

Lady boss, sorry...

I don't regret the passion I felt for you

sorry.

For love, for an undying devotion

for love, for a magical moment

love is so profound

I won't regret waiting all this time

the only reason I came to town was to find a betterjob.

I never knew.

Guan feng-yao

thank you for teaching me how to write my name.

Where are you going?

To the dragon spinners.

Wait for me. I'll take you to my home village.

Don't go!

So many people are dead because of me.

Do you think I can attain peace of mind?

- Sir, duan qing-yun is dead. - So no one can take care of ke he-pu?

- Sir, miss huo is here. - Feng-yao is going to kill ke he-p...

Please send him some back-up. You must help him.

- My father's dead... - I'm sorry, I can't help.

- Why not? - It's the only way to destroy ke he-p...

- In this town... - You used him!

Yes.

You're despicable.

Don't go, you can't help him anyway.

- Stop her! - Yes, sir.

- Lock her up! - You have no right!

- Take her away! - Let me go!

- Guards! - Yes, sir.

From now on, all sentry duty in town is canceled.

- No one is to leave. - Yes, sir.

- Do as I say! - Yes, sir.

Chief guan, help me!

Help me!

- Why did you lie to me? - I...

I was being used by magistrate yuan. He forced me to poison duan qing-yun.

And now he's attempting to take over the dragon spinners.

- I know I deserve my fate. - You're lying.

I knew you wouldn't believe me. Forgive me.

Watch out!

I fooled you! You're doomed now!

Hurry! Lure him outside!

Move aside!

Move aside!

Move aside!

Throw the money out!

Despicable!

Kill that man and the gold is yours!

Kill him!

Whoever kills him will be rewarded!

Kill him!

Kill him and I'll give you five thousand more!

Bastard!

Grab the gold. Hurry! Run!

The road leads me to a dead end, my heart drops into the vortex

painful memories still hurt me, marked by the stains of my tears

life should not end like this, engulfed by the sea

quietly, I keep walking, despite my devastating fall

I beg in despair, for a glimpse of hope in the next life

all I want is to have you by my side, I don't need anything else

I look towards the horizon, yet I cannot find my way home

does life turn brighter after darkness, or am I destined to suffer?

I walk all alone in life, deaf to your desperate calls

goodbye, not au revoir, your face marks the finality of it all

I beg in despair, for a glimpse of hope in the next life

all I want is to have you by my side, I don't need anything else

I look towards the horizon, yet I cannot find my way home

does life turn brighter after darkness, or am I destined to suffer?

You, stand up!

Quietly, I keep walking...

You've learnt so long and still can't write your name!

Sorry, teacher.

Go and practice again!

Goodbye, not au revoir, your face marks the finality of it all

you must put your heart into it.

If you can't even write your name, what good will you be?

That woman is the lady boss of the four seasons weavers.

She's been a widow for so many years and suddenly she's pregnant!

That's right! Now she's parading around like this. Does she know no shame?

Who knows who the father is?

Duan qing-yun happens to be the father.
