(Qibo Medical Centre)

This is amazing.

This is truly amazing.

Try and move around.

See if it still hurts.

Look, I'm fine.

Ms Dong, thank you.

-Thank you. -Don't mention it.

Ms Dong, can you teach me what you did just now?

Many of my colleagues

have waist issues.

I can give them a massage after you teach me that technique.

-Yes. -I'm afraid I cannot teach you yet.

You quit the apprentice class.

Besides, you're lagging in progress.

Tou Tou, so, you were a student here?

Stop it.

If so, why did you become a delivery rider?

Ms Dong is amazing.

You must learn from her

and master her technique.

That way, we can find you

if we have waist issues in the future.

Do you wish to learn then?

I do.

I do wish to learn.

But I think Master

won't accept me.

Whether your master

wants to teach you or not

depends on him.

Whether you wish to learn or not

-depends on you. -That's right.

Faith will move mountains.

You should

apologise to your master

and beg for his forgiveness.

Yes. Ms Dong is right.

You should

apologise to your master.

Mister!

Mister, look!

My waist is fine now.

Mister,

listen.

Tou Tou

wishes to study TCM.

And, she's very hard-working.

She went to study straight away and couldn't even be bothered with

her greasy face

after making deliveries.

The dorm environment isn't the best too.

Her co-workers play poker and brag all day long.

Even so, she wasn't affected.

She writes with a brush every day.

She completes one essay per day.

She never stops no matter

how tired or busy she is.

She's very hard-working.

I'm serious.

Go now.

Go now.

Apologise to him.

-Hurry. -Master.

Thank you.

Take care.

Apologise to him.

You don't understand.

Stop it.

You...

This lass is something else.

Ms Dong,

thank you for today.

As for the fee,

I've already told Master.

I'll give it to him later.

If there's nothing else,

we'll leave first.

-Okay. -Thank you, Ms Dong.

-Where's your jacket? -Here.

It's here.

We'll make a move first.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Wait.

Let me remind you again.

Although I've restored your spine to its original position,

you need some time before the muscles can recover.

If you have time,

give him a gentle rub

along his spine

every day.

If any of his muscles feel tense,

you can

massage it gently

and help them to release tension.

-Okay. -I have a bottle of ointment here.

-Use it on him -I'm fine now.

tomorrow.

It's fine. Just take it.

Thank you, Ms Dong.

-Thank you, Ms Dong. -You're welcome.

-Don't mention it. -We'll make a move now.

Okay.

Thank you, Ms Dong.

-Don't mention it. -Goodbye.

Goodbye.

-Thank you, Ms Dong. -Don't mention it.

Mum, be careful.

Mum,

after this trip,

I'll run out of rest days.

Next time, you have to ask my brother to bring you here.

We can talk about that after this trip.

I don't even know

if I can survive until the next trip.

Mum,

don't say such inauspicious words.

I'm forsaking my career just to keep you company.

You shouldn't let my effort go down the drain.

I don't wish to be in debt too.

I'll try to repay

as much of my debt

as I can before I die.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

-Flush. -Next.

-Do it. -Ace!

He's done for.

Shuffle the cards.

Shuffle the cards.

-Come and join us. -Come on.

Ms Dong did this, right?

Not really.

Ms Dong is truly amazing.

She cured me in seconds.

Where else can you get a teacher like that?

I think Ms Dong wants to take you as her student.

If you find her,

and if you do inherit

her skills,

you'll be able to help many people in the future.

I hurt Master's heart.

Master won't take me back.

And, Ms Dong is Master's good friend.

If Master doesn't take me back,

Ms Dong won't take me under her wing too.

Silly girl,

just find your master and tell him to take you back.

It's been so many years.

I've got into contact with many people after making deliveries.

I can tell who's good or bad

in one go.

Your master

might look fierce,

but he's kind.

He told you to pay my fee for me.

In the end, he forgot about it.

I'll definitely pay him back.

Don't worry.

Why are you trying to return the money to him?

If you study under him,

you'll be doing him a favour.

This is interesting.

You didn't believe

that I was a TCM student when I told you.

(Qibo Medical Centre)

I'll never be good at this.

Calm down. You'll recover eventually.

Xia is back.

What do you think?

Did you find the tile?

Did you find it or not?

The first house

isn't even 300 years old.

Regarding the second house...

How is it?

The house is 350 years old.

The house owner could confirm it.

Isn't that good?

What about the tile?

But now,

I've encountered some issues.

Although this house

is over 300 years old,

they renovate it

once every decade.

Tell me then.

Do you think these tiles are 300 years old then?

This one?

This looks like...

Tian Zhen, come here.

Help me analyse it.

Look.

This house

is 300 years old.

But they renovate it once every decade.

So, do you think this tile

is 300 years old?

I know it's useless.

This is nothing.

If I can't find it this time,

I'll find it next time, right?

Our country is vast.

I don't believe that I can't find a 300-year-old tile.

Precisely.

I'll help you to inquire about it.

In our hometown, which is a village,

they have whitewashed

houses and grey tiles.

Houses that go on

magazine covers.

I'll also tell them

to ask if there are any 300-year-old houses around.

If so, do they renovate it

once every ten years too?

All these years,

the tourism industry

is developing pretty rapidly.

I think it might be one of the reasons too.

However, there are houses

that are nicely preserved,

which were bought by people.

I'll ask them

if they have any tiles like that.

I'll thank you in advance then.

-Thank you. -It's what I should do.

-Tian Zhen. -What's the matter?

Tou Tou is in trouble.

What happened?

Look.

You shouldn't do this.

Just return it to her.

-She's panicking! -I didn't receive anything!

I saw nothing!

She didn't

deliver it to me personally!

She said she delivered it

to your doorstep.

Maybe you took it inside by accident.

No means no.

How could that be?

She's so annoying.

Miss, I'm begging you here.

I'm truly begging you here.

Why don't you search your house again?

It's a wedding ring.

It's the wedding ring of your neighbour upstairs.

I can't afford to lose it.

Why don't you search again?

You're blaming me for it now?

You sent it to the wrong address.

What has this got to do with me?

You should compensate her for it!

Do you think you can afford it?

I didn't see it!

I wasn't at home too!

Dad, were you looking for me?

Can you show me that video

with your phone?

Yeah.

(You should return it to her.)

(She's panicking.)

(I didn't receive it! I saw nothing!)

(She didn't deliver it)

(to me personally.)

(She said she delivered it to your doorstep.)

(Maybe you took it inside by accident.)

Do you know how much it costs?

Why is she kneeling?

(I'm begging you!)

(I'm begging you here.)

(Why don't you search your room again?)

Doesn't she know that she shouldn't kneel as my successor?

She's not even a student now.

How could you call her your successor?

She can choose not to be my student.

However, she's the successor of the Jiang family's acupuncture sect.

You can't deny that, right?

How much does it cost?

It's not expensive. A diamond ring costs over 30,000 yuan.

Mainly, it's a wedding ring. She couldn't get another one in time.

(It's a wedding ring.)

(It's the wedding ring of your neighbour upstairs.)

(I can't afford to lose it.)

She's so short-tempered.

She can't even deliver her goods to the right person.

It's not entirely her fault.

The address was wrong.

Initially, it was 3003.

They wrote 303.

She sent it to the third floor since there was one zero less.

Why isn't she admitting it then?

Could it be

that the garbage collector

took it away?

You guys should check out the junkyard.

We've checked the surveillance camera

for the entrance and exit.

The garbage collector didn't come today.

It's an express delivery.

She has to ask for collection code.

I don't have it!

How could she leave it at the door?

It's my fault.

I...

I was on my way home.

I told her to leave it at the door.

After that, I gave her the code.

I didn't expect her to send it to the wrong floor.

If so, you should look for the sender.

They wrote the wrong address.

But I'm getting married tomorrow!

What?

If so, that means God

doesn't want you to get married.

Hey, mind your words.

How could you say that?

What's going on?

Why are you guys here?

And you! Why are you filming me?

So what if I'm filming you?

Listen!

Stop filming!

Have you lost your mind?

Stop filming me!

There should be a surveillance camera

above the stairs.

Yeah.

Meng Meng told me that they installed a camera in their peephole.

I'll ask her neighbour if they have one.

Over here.

I didn't.

I didn't see it.

How can I return it to her?

What are you guys doing?

Why are you guys surrounding me?

I told you already! I don't have it!

Unit 302, is someone home?

-Is someone there? -Get up.

Did you install a camera in the peephole?

Why didn't I think of it?

I'll contact the owner of Unit 302 immediately.

I'll tell him to come over immediately.

You guys should go back.

Don't gather here. Return to what you were doing.

Go back.

Please go back.

Miss, you should go back too.

You should get up first.

Here, get up.

Thank you.

Be careful.

What about this? You guys can wait downstairs.

We'll deal with this.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you for the trouble.

Miss, I just checked

the peephole from the unit opposite yours.

I'm not sure if they have installed any surveillance camera.

However, if they have,

we'll know what happened

when the unit owner

retrieves his memory card for us

after half an hour.

You still have time

to search the house again.

See if you have taken the box inside

by accident.

If you take it out now,

it'll be a misunderstanding.

However, if there's evidence,

you'll be convicted of larceny.

You'll face legal punishment.

By the way,

how much did the lady say her wedding ring cost again?

38,000 yuan.

Look.

It's that expensive.

Sir,

please give me a second.

I'll search my house again.

You see.

I did take it by accident.

This...

I'm truly sorry about this.

Miss,

the issue has been resolved.

She maligned you.

However, this does occur quite often.

Everything's fine now.

You guys should head back now.

-Sorry for the trouble. -Thank you.

Grandma, which one?

Those two.

-These? -Yeah.

Mum.

Are you looking for books?

I heard that you met Tou Tou today.

Yeah.

How was she?

She wasn't doing well.

No one will be in a good mood if they have to kneel like that.

What about the mister who came along with her?

How's his waist?

I don't know. I didn't care about him.

Xin Zheng,

about Tou Tou,

I think it's unsafe

for a girl like her to live with

a bunch of guys.

Besides,

punishing her for two days should be enough.

She's still young.

It's common for her to make mistakes.

If she stays outside for a long time,

she'll revert to her wild nature.

It wasn't easy to tame her, you know?

What do you say?

Tian Zhen,

tell Tou Tou to come back

and attend the apprentice class.

Tell her

to apologise to your father.

Tell her

not to repeat her mistake.

You hear me?

Your grandmother was talking to you.

Why didn't you give her any responses?

You're so rude.

I'm giving you a chance to put what you learned to practice.

I'm willing to let you massage my waist

even though you're terrible at it.

You must've suffered today.

If it were me,

I would've knelt too.

It costs over 30,000 yuan.

We won't be able to compensate them.

I didn't kneel because of the money.

Why did you kneel then?

You're saying as if you have 30,000 yuan.

You only make five yuan for each delivery you make.

I just didn't want her happiness to be affected.

You're willing to kneel for other people's happiness.

But you're not willing to kneel

for your own happiness.

I think

you should behave like what you did today.

You should kneel in front of your master.

You shouldn't get up before he agrees to take you back as a student.

Did you hear me?

Give me a second.

I don't have time to join you for practice.

Tou Tou,

Grandma said she missed you.

(She told you to apologise to Dad.)

(You can come back and study medicine.)

Say something.

Tell him that you'll apologise to him.

Hurry, say something.

Did you hear me?

-Hurry. -Apologise...

Wait.

Got it.

I miss them too.

That's more like it.

I used too much strength.

I'll be using some strength.

That's more like it.

Hey, watch it. It's new.

Don't break it.

Be gentle.

Uncle Tao, when did you get yourself a new bike?

You were not willing to spend money to see doctors even when you were sick.

Precisely.

It's free.

They held an event for the new eco-vehicle.

I went to help them out.

I got it from a lucky draw.

Get off the bike.

I plan to give it

to Tou Tou.

Why aren't you giving it to us?

Yeah.

She's a girl.

It's already tough enough for her to work together with guys like her.

-Yeah. -Besides,

she can begin a new life

after getting this bike.

He's right.

Later,

all of you should keep it a secret.

Let's surprise Tou Tou when she comes back.

-Okay. -Don't tell her.

Okay.

(Qibo Medical Centre)

I practised writing every day.

I didn't even skip a single day.

But you don't like TCM.

What's the use of writing them down?

I didn't want to study TCM before this.

But now, I don't know if I can be a TCM practitioner

even if I wish to study TCM.

Master, I know you're a good person.

Although I don't really get what you say

sometimes,

I know

that I won't be led astray

if I follow your advice

and study hard.

I still wish to study under you.

Go now.

Don't tell me she's in trouble?

She's not out yet.

This is bad.

How is it?

Say something. Did he say yes or no?

This is bad.

Go and tell your father

that it isn't Tou Tou's fault alone.

The others are at fault too.

He mustn't just punish her alone.

Think of something.

Yes, everyone is at fault.

We can't just let you face the music alone.

I'll tell my father about this.

I don't believe I can't resolve this.

Meng Meng!

Meng Meng! I'm sorry!

I was joking with you.

I'm not leaving.

Master allowed me to stay.

If so, why did you...

I just shook my head. I didn't say I was going to leave.

Where are you going?

Didn't you tell me to go?

You should keep your stuff

and get changed.

We have a consultation to attend.

You're lagging in the hands-on technique class.

Tell your classmates to give you tuition when you're free.

I can come back now?

But I have conditions.

Sure.

I'm fine with any conditions.

Memorise one page of the classics every day.

Okay.

I'll test you.

No problem.

After the renovation is done,

you have to clean up the classroom in advance.

Okay.

And,

no ripped pants or jeans.

But why?

No bare feet allowed.

Wear your socks.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Go now.

Go where?

Go and get changed.

You're something else.

Everything's fine now.

(As weather turns cold gradually,)

(Cold Dew arrives.)

(Fall brings gold with a hint of white,)

(describing the dew of Fall as white, it is also known as White Dew.)

(White Dew)

Meng Meng, look.

-The scenery is great, right? -It's so beautiful.

Not bad at all.

Slow down.

Guys, gather around.

Tou Tou,

come here.

Come here.

Leave the pole over there for now.

Guys,

today,

Mr Qiu will teach you guys about Chinese pharmacology.

(Qiu Jian Xian)

Wait.

I thought we were on holiday?

Why are we still holding lessons here?

Mother Nature is a natural classroom.

Guys,

we shouldn't differentiate between daily lives

and treating patients. For example,

there's a saying taught by

the natives here.

It's called

"If you're bitten by a snake,"

"the antidote can be found"

"within 100 steps".

It makes perfect sense.

It's because

Yin and Yang are not two different sides.

It's both sides of the same coin.

For example,

one side of Earth

is facing the sun.

But on the other side,

it must be facing the moon.

One bite of lychee is equal to three flaming torches.

Lychee

is considered a heaty fruit.

There's a popular saying.

To neutralize the heatiness of lychee,

you need the membrane inside its shell.

You need to peel the membrane and cook it with water.

This way, the heatiness will be neutralized.

Guys,

when we learn Chinese pharmacology

in the classroom,

it's just like how doctors

dissect bodies in the autopsy room

to understand the human body.

Therefore, if we learn Chinese pharmacology in a natural setting,

we'll be able to apply what we learn.

If you're bitten by a snake,

the antidote can be found within 100 steps.

I understand now.

It's just like

there's always a McDonald's

beside a KFC.

Am I right?

It's just like the local specialities,

they sell at tourist spots.

-Am I right? -What is that nonsense?

Tou Tou's crude words

carry fine ideas.

You get me?

Fall in.

Guys,

we can hold a contest today.

Back then, Li Shi Zhen travelled

across mountains and hills to gather herbs

and compile

the Compendium of Materia Medica.

You guys know

that dew water can be used as medicine.

So, today, you guys can

travel across the hills

to gather herbs

and train your legs.

You guys can come back

before dinner time.

The person who gathered the most herbs

can order the food they want.

What do you think?

TCM preaches

the homology of food and medicine.

For dinner,

we'll increase the difficulty of the contest.

All of you

can contribute one dish.

However, the dish you contribute

must be related

to the herbs you gathered.

That's simple.

You're cheating here.

Black sesame seeds. Homology of food and medicine.

I'll surely be able to have dinner tonight.

You're being crafty.

-We'll confiscate it. -That's right.

Master, don't do that.

We'll confiscate it. This won't do.

I guess I'm cheating too.

I'm a cook.

I can just

harvest some wild vegetables here.

I can cook soup with them, stir-fry them,

fry them with garlic, anything.

Stop right there.

I haven't finished

announcing your mission.

Not only must you guys gather edible herbs,

but you guys must also

recite a line of poem

that's related to them.

What do you think?

Any questions?

You're asking me that?

Just tell me if you don't want me

to have dinner.

A line of poem?

I guess you understood what I was getting at.

Wealth enriches one materially,

but virtue is its own reward.

Only those who are cultured

can excel at TCM.

As a cultured person,

if you guys spend some effort to study them,

you'll discover

that many ancient Chinese poems and verses

contain

elements of Chinese medicine.

This is not too tough

for you guys, right?

Who said so?

-Is it tough? -Yeah.

Just as my boat has left the dork,

suddenly I heard someone singing on the shore.

Even if the Peach Blossom Pond was a thousand feet deep,

it would not be as deep as our friendship.

Peach blossom

is a type of Chinese medicine.

Consuming peach blossom

dissipates blood stasis.

Drawing a peach charm

wards off evil.

Amazing.

Mr Qiu.

Don't you think...

Don't you think

we're like old buddies

even though we only met for the first time?

-Don't you think so? -What do you mean?

I think

you should

follow me today.

We can stay as a duo. After I gather the herbs,

you can tell me what poem I can recite and what herbs they are.

It's cheating if you bring Mr Qiu with you.

That's cheating. That won't do.

Guys, what about this?

Mr Qiu.

Let's challenge ourselves for one.

We'll only allow the students to complete the challenge themselves.

We can verify if you guys

can put what you learned into practice.

-Okay? -What will you two do then?

We'll give out free diagnoses

for the villagers there.

Guys, time to gather some herbs.

-You can do it. -We can do it!

Let's go.

What did that poem mean?

It was To Wang Lun by Li Bai.

Who's Wang Lun?

He's a friend of Li Bai.

Were they close to each other?

They were buddies.

Zhao Li Quan! Is this a herb?

Is this a herb? What is this?

Give it to me.

What is that?

I'll take it.

Let go.

Give it to me!

Mind your feet.

You should gather them over there.

Take this.

These aren't herbs.

These are weeds.

Dormmate!

What are you digging for?

I've checked the area here.

There's nothing here.

I'll check that area out, okay?

Roubecca!

Are you okay?

What happened?

We're back.

We're back.

It was pouring out there.

-It's raining. -What is this?

Where did you get this?

It's called a money box.

It's the predecessor

of piggy banks.

Your name is on it.

Yeah.

Ren Xin Zheng.

After giving out free diagnoses,

our friends in the village

made it for me especially.

There's an issue with this money box.

You can only put money in it. You cannot take it out.

You can't spend your money like this.

This design...

It's pretty...

This is passed down to them by their ancestors.

It's a token of appreciation.

By the way, Master,

Yang Xiao Hong slipped and fell when she was gathering herbs.

We sent her to the hospital.

But it's not a huge issue.

Don't worry. It's not a big deal.

She's been sent to the hospital?

Yes, Mr Ren.

Yang Xiao Hong didn't want anyone else to carry her.

Tou Tou carried her all the way to the base of the mountain.

You carried her?

Yeah.

I'm strong.

I made my dish

with the tender stems and leaves of dandelion.

With green silk and a yellow core, love is found,

and the fluttering dandelions

-descend. -Excellent.

Excellent.

That's pretty good.

Dandelion

serves to relieve heatiness and neutralize toxicity.

It also alleviates swellness and dispels nodes.

No matter how you

use it,

it's effective.

That's right.

My turn.

Under the begonia flowers bloom Solanum septemlobum,

beside the Chinese Pink bushes lies perilla.

Excellent!

Excellent!

-Not bad. -Excellent.

You passed.

My turn.

The bitter cold in the North has not passed.

The spinach under the snow are tough as steel armour.

The rich variety of winter vegetables can last.

As winter makes them tougher.

-Excellent! -Excellent!

Look at him.

He chose an unpopular poem.

It must've been difficult.

-Tou Tou. -You passed.

It's your turn.

Be careful.

The lotus blooms in outer lake tall and low.

After the rain over green hills fly the gulls white.

The painted boats on rippling water slowly go,

our shadows move on mirror bright.

-Excellent! -Excellent!

She recited two lines,

yet there were three mistakes.

What mistakes?

What do you mean?

High and low.

Slowly flow.

You should've told me earlier.

Master,

you should be thankful

that I can read them out loud.

This isn't

my expertise.

What about this?

Tell me the function of lotus seeds.

To prevent starvation.

She's right.

Speaking of lotus seeds,

the entire lotus plant

is useful.

For example, lotus leaves

can relieve heatiness,

alleviate dampness,

and prevent miscarriage.

Lotus pods

can prevent miscarriage

and protect our liver.

Lotus cores

can relieve heatiness

and aid in sleeping.

Lotus flowers

are good for the skin and can relieve depression.

The joints of lotus root

can stop bleeding

and dissipate blood stasis.

Lotus seeds

can invigorate the spleen soothe the nerves,

and prevent starvation.

-Alright. -You're right.

I'm sure you guys are starving.

-Yeah. -All of you passed.

Let's dig in.

-Let's dig in. -Let's dig in.

Let's dig in.

Master, here.

-Not bad. -Pretty good.

Not bad.

This is delicious.

Meng Meng, don't be scared.

You prepared these presents for them personally.

I'm sure they will like them.

I'll keep you company.

Let's go.

Mr Ren,

Happy Teacher's Day.

Thank you.

Mr Qiu,

Happy Teacher's Day.

Thank you.

Mr Qiu, Happy Teacher's Day.

Okay.

Happy Teacher's Day.

Tou Tou.

-Master. -Is it nice?

-Yeah. -Take a sniff.

It smells great.

Today's an important day.

Today's Teacher's Day.

I hope you can

wish me Happy Teacher's Day

to express your gratitude for me.

Master,

it's not like I'm only grateful to you

during Teacher's Day.

I'm grateful to you every day.

That's why I'm not expressing my gratitude to you

by wishing you Happy Teacher's Day

during Teacher's Day.

Got it?

You should.

If you don't,

I won't know how grateful you are

no matter what you've done for me.

You see, such occasions

are actually opportunities for you.

They give you a chance to say something

you're too shy to say usually.

If so, have you expressed your gratitude toward Madam?

I saw you two

arguing this morning.

Have you apologised to her?

Did I even argue with her?

You did.

Madam told you to put on a scarf this morning.

It was for your sake. You didn't want to.

You said there was no need to put it on

since it wasn't cold.

After that, you even glared at her.

Madam changed her expression

immediately.

Principles, Methods, Formulas and Medicinals.

You're so insensible.

You still need me to teach you what to do?
