DRAGON

1917, A SMALL VILLAGE IN YUNNAN,
SOUTHWEST EDGE OF CHINA...

Xiaotian, don't be afraid.
It'll be over quickly.

I'll pull on, "three."

One!

Where's the tooth?

Xiaotian, you tricked me!

I wanted to keep my tooth.

Xiaotian!

You tricked me!

I'll get you!

Father.

- What is it, son?
- My tooth hurts.

Come, let me have a look.

Which one hurts? Open your mouth wide.

Open wider.

Is it this one? Show me.

Zhigen's wife visited
the paper mill yesterday

to chastise the people who didn't go
to the celebration for her newborn.

I saw her from far away and ran.

Really?

I can tell from her shape
she may be pregnant again.

- She is?
- Mom.

When will you have another child?

Why do you ask?

He talks too much. Let's replace him.

No!

- Yes, we will.
- No!

- Yes!
- No!

Jinxi, would you
like some five spice stew?

That's all right. I already ate.

That's right.

I almost forgot, you're a vegetarian.

This place has prospered
since the paper mill opened.

More and more visitors
come here to buy paper.

- Welcome, gentlemen.
- You sell wine?

You're at the right place.
We make our own wine, Thousand Springs.

It may be rustic,
but it is as good as aged wine.

- Give me four pints.
- Yes, sir.

Wait, give me eight.

Eight pints of Thousand Springs!

Are you martial artists?

On your way to the county town?

I must tell you, a few months ago,

a father and daughter duo
of your trade passed through here.

They sold me some "Mighty Pills."
I can attest that...

they were very potent!

Sir, your wine.

This wine is also called Fragrant Bottle

or Drop at the Door.

It tastes horrible!

Waiter, does this village
have a general store?

Yes, it's across that way.

We're here for money.

Are you here to buy paper?

We're here for money.

Do you have a letter of credit?

We're here for the money. Understood?

Where's the money?

Stop!

Where's the money?

You cut me, idiot!

Help!

Someone's killing...

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, are you all right? Dad!

Toes, no fatal wound.

Chest, no fatal wound.

Lower back, no fatal wound.
Genitals, no fatal wound.

Shoulders, no fatal wound.

Fangzheng!

Mind your kids.

Knees, no fatal wound.

Palms, no fatal wound.

Soles, no fatal wound.

Your Honor, the herbs will kill the smell.

Ankles, no fatal wound.

Insteps, no fatal wound.

ROBBERY CONVICT - YAN DONGSHENG

Your Honor!

Xu, you seem flustered! What's the matter?

I discovered that one of the dead men

is one of the top ten
wanted criminals, Yan Dongsheng.

Your Honor, you must remember,
Yan was the mastermind

behind countless serious crimes.

We brought him to justice.
After being held for three days,

he overpowered us and escaped.

You're saying that this Liu Jinxi

accidentally captured Yan Dongsheng?

- Yes.
- Not only captured but killed him?

Yes.

It means the case was solved
in my jurisdiction!

Good. Excellent!

Make arrangements
for me to meet this hero.

Not only to meet,
but to thank him on behalf of the people

and the county government.

Let's go.

Who is Liu Jinxi?

Here, sir. Coming.

Countymen! We've solved the case!

The dead man is Yan Dongsheng.

He's the notorious criminal

responsible for countless murders.

Thanks to our hero, Liu Jinxi,

Yan was brought to justice!
This is a blessing!

Jinxi

Jinxi wants to eat pears

To the market he hurries, here and there

Time to core and pare the pears

Quickly, Jinxi, eat the pears!

He fights the thief, and peels his skin

A-Yu can't believe what she sees

Tonight she will reward Jinxi

Reward Jinxi!

July 1917, the 11th fortnight.

I was sent to Liu Village.

Crime scene: General Store.

Casualties: Paper maker
and two escaped convicts.

How could an unarmed paper maker

defeat the trained killer Yan Dongsheng?

Do you know Liu Jinxi?

Everyone knows everyone in this village.

Has he always lived here?

- No.
- No?

He moved here when he married A-Yu.

He's different than us.

His family name is not Liu, it was Gong.

"Gong?"

Fangzheng was only a few years old
when his father left.

A-Yu married Jinxi
and gave birth to Xiaotian.

I once asked Jinxi,

"Where are you from?"

He said, "Gong Village."

He said he came from a family of butchers.

Butchers?

Bloodshot eyes
indicate a brain hemorrhage.

Yan received a heavy blow to the temple,

below which,
the vagus nerve serves a key function.

It regulates heartbeat.

Traumatizing it can stop the heart.

To damage the vagus nerve
with a single blow to the temple

requires extraordinary skills.

Only three fugitive killers
are capable of such a thing.

Fang Rishou,
from Yimu County, Qinghe Prefecture.

He was once a war hero,

but was later discharged
for violent behavior.

He became a gambling addict
and he squandered his fortune.

He set fire to the gambling den.

Dozens were killed.
He vanished afterwards.

Zhao Yiguang.

Also known as, "The Eye Collector."

He robbed the Tai Fen Convoy.

The victims had their eyes gouged out
and tongues removed.

It took them three days to die.

Bu Yuan.

A psychopath famous for his knife skills,

he slit his victims' veins
and drained their blood.

He even threw their heads
into boiling soup pots.

He arrived just after the Spring Festival.

One afternoon, he came to the tavern.

- Wine, please.
- Yes, sir.

Sir, what are these?

What? You don't know?

They are amulets.
On the first day of spring,

men wear them on the left arm

and women wear them
on the right to ward off ghosts.

He claimed that his village
didn't practice the same ritual.

His home village was in Jingzhou.
It left a deep impression on me.

- Jingzhou?
- Jingzhou.

- But Jingzhou has the same ritual.
- Exactly.

I hope there's no problem.

Jinxi is a good man.

Leave it. I don't like
the smell of fish bladder.

Mrs. Tung from the herb medicine shop
said it can be mixed with water

- and drunk in the morning...
- It's mercury. It's poison.

It will harm your body.

- What if I get pregnant?
- Then we'll have another baby.

We'll just have a tougher life.

You seem upset.

A little bit.

Two men died.

But they were bad guys.

Officials said they were going
to rob a supply convoy nearby.

They were just passing through.

So, Jinxi, you did good.

The detective may be a bit eccentric,
but he doesn't accept bribes,

so, he must be a good man.

We should offer him a meal on the house.

Men are just sacks of stinking fluids
with no redeeming qualities.

A good man?

Good or bad
is determined by our physiology.

The Renying Meridian controls hunger.

The short man's Renying
appears to be overdeveloped.

He was a born glutton.

Give me four pints. Wait. Give me eight!

Wine impaired his Qi,
which accelerated his cardiac arrest.

He died
because his Renying Meridian betrayed him.

And for me, my weakness
is my Shanzhong Meridian.

It controls emotions and gives us empathy.

Mine is overdeveloped.

It makes me too empathetic.

Once it almost cost me my life.

I caught a young man.

He stole money from his adoptive parents.

But I sent him home.
I put humanity above the law.

I never imagined
that he would poison our food.

Both his adoptive parents died.

I sustained internal injuries.

That's why I use two needles.

One in the Shanzhong
to suppress my empathy.

The other in the Tiantu
to control the poison in my body.

I treat my body
and my personality flaws at the same time.

Since then, "He" follows me around.

He says, "You can't trust humanity.

Only physiology and the law don't lie."

It's you.

There's no door.

No need for doors here.

Looking for Jinxi?

- He's not home.
- No.

I've come to see you.

I'll make you congee for your heavy cough.

- Please don't bother.
- It's no trouble at all.

No trouble at all.

Last night, the tavern keeper told me

Jinxi only joined the clan
a few years ago.

His last name wasn't Liu originally?

It was five years ago. At that time,

I was pregnant with Xiaotian.

I asked for his name
to be added in the clan records.

LIU JINXI

That's all.

Then how did you two meet?

It was long time ago,
I can barely remember.

On that day, he was just passing through.

He told me he had
a fight with his family and run away.

He never talks about his family.

Unresolved conflicts?

They can be resolved.

Did Jinxi know your former husband?

No.

Did I say something wrong?

That man abandoned us just like that.

He said, "I'll come home for dinner."

It turned out,
he'd been planning to leave.

He even took his favorite pillow with him.

He abandoned his wife and child.

Jinxi doesn't need to know...

such a man.

Sometimes, Jinxi tells me
he will come back for dinner.

I tell him not to use those words.

Not to say so...

I'm afraid if I asked about his family,
he might just disappear too.

First interrogation of the suspect.
July 12th fortnight.

Describe your fight with Yan Dongsheng.

I think it was like...

I grabbed him like this.

Continue.

I held onto him.

I refused to let go.
Then he spun me around.

You used leverage
against Yan's brutal force.

No wonder Yan couldn't shake you off.

How did Yan lose his ear?

It was chaos. I don't know.

The short man came at me
from behind with a sword.

I ducked, of course,
and then I heard a scream!

I didn't know what was happening.

Are you saying they wounded each other?

Yes! They cut each other.

Just like that, so odd.

How did the short man die?

I know!

I saw it! He ran from here to there.

He flew up there and bang!
He fell and died!

You let him throw you.

You used your hands to bounce back up,

then summoned Qi energy.

You were ready to kill.

You hit his Yunmen Meridian.

It caused a blood clot,

blocking the blood flow
to the coronary arteries,

resulting in cardiac arrest.

The tall man broke the door
and dragged me out here.

He pushed me into the pond
and tried to drown me.

I fought for my life.

But I couldn't breathe underwater.

How did Yan die?

It was you who dragged him into the pond.

Water resistance
blunted the force of Yan's blows.

A direct blow to the vagus nerve

would either kill the victim
or leave him paralyzed for life.

You must have wanted Yan dead.

It was a vicious blow.

Liu Jinxi, what kind of man are you?

I was lucky.

Thank you for everything.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow? You have more questions?

I'll know very soon.

In recognition of Jinxi's heroism
and contribution to the village,

the village has decided to
sponsor Fangzheng's college studies

and county examination fees.

If he does well in the examination,

we'll host a celebration ceremony,

which will also
be paid for by the village.

A-Yu, will Fangzheng
be an adult this year?

Yes, he's 12.

After the rites,
he will receive new clothes

and be considered an adult.

You and your husband
have worked hard to raise your children.

When they grow up and succeed,
you will be proud parents.

It's the dream of all parents.

Thank you.

The House of Jinxi
is surrounded by water filled with jade.

I foresee a man of prominence.

Impossible! You're breathing
more heavily than me!

For a martial artist like you,

each breath should last
at least ten counts.

How else could you
collect Qi in your body's core?

Two counts? This can't be.

Let me help you.

No need, sir.

It's all right, sir.

It's heavy, sir!

Help!

Jinxi, Hang on! Don't move!

Help!

Help!

Given his weight
and the height he fell,

the branches should have broken
by the force of the impact.

Density could also be a factor.

If he could counter the momentum
of the fall with an equal upward force,

he might stop the fall.

But his body is 800 times denser than air!

Unless he can shift
his body density at will?

He defied gravity with Qinggong!

Are you all right?

If you hadn't come today,
I wouldn't have fallen.

It's karma.

I didn't mean it.

No.

What I meant to say is,

the fabric of existence
is composed of a myriad of karmic threads.

Nothing exists in and of itself.

Everything is connected.

For example,
If I hadn't come to this village,

I wouldn't have met A-Yu.

If her former husband hadn't left,

I wouldn't have married her.

If I hadn't been at the store,
I wouldn't have seen the criminals

and they wouldn't have died.

Then, you wouldn't have come here.

No one truly has free will.

When one man sins,

we all share his sin.

We are all accomplices.

Are you saying that a killer
doesn't have free will when he kills?

He was conditioned to the act?

And when he kills
because we're all part of that sin,

we're all accomplices?

I wasn't thinking of killers.

I found no proof of him being guilty.

Then why not leave him alone?
He's a reformed man.

We're not here to reform criminals.

Then what's our purpose?

To serve the law.

If the law doesn't help
reform people, what good is it?

A true martial artist
can control his Qi and his mental state.

He may appear to be a good man,
but he's still a killer.

Go to Jingzhou and dig around.

Once you get the information,
report back to me.

Baijiu, take care of yourself.
Don't forget your condition.

You can't actually fight.

What are you saying?

He might be a trained killer,
you said so yourself.

You think he's going to silence me?

Just be careful.

Have some more.

Where are your manners? We have a guest!

Have some more.

Have some more.

Have more.

Xu Baijiu.

Where are you from?

Wenjiang, Sichuan.

It's not far away.

I heard that your hometown is in Jingzhou?

It's so far away.

What brought you here?

You either love it here
or hate where you come from.

I like here.

Wenjiang is close. Do you go home often?

I heard the weather there is nice.

Since my father died
and my mother remarried,

I seldom visit.

But I sometimes get homesick.

I heard that you left home ten years ago.
Don't you ever miss it?

Ever thought about going back?

No. I haven't.

Xiaotian's never met
his grandfather after his birth?

Eat up, the food is getting cold.

Fangzheng said that
you owned a horse before.

It's rare for most families
to own horses. Don't you think?

What kind of horse?

Yes.

I had a horse once.

But my father killed it.

My father saw that I loved my horse...

so he killed it...

and fed me with its flesh.

I ate it without knowing.

Then he said,

if I could eat my beloved horse...

I could face anything.

Nothing could defeat me.

Would you go back to a place like that?

Did it taste good?

Not at all.

It's late

Yes, it's already so late, allow me

to sleep first.

Am I sleeping upstairs?
It's all right, take your time.

After years of killing,
the murderer's face becomes pale.

The eyes also turn dark.

Even the air around the body grows cold.

Why aren't your eyes dark?

Thirsty?

I am thirsty.

Sons of the clan,

you've reached the age of adulthood.

From this day forth,

you must dress
and conduct yourself as men.

Protect and serve the Emperor.

Liu Kaitai.

Liu Fangzheng.

Liu Tianxiang.

Liu Tianle.

With these clothes, you become a man.

Liu Tianlan.

- Let me see.
- Okay.

Take a bow.

And again.

Offer incense.

You looked quite touched.

Were you?

I've always wondered
what happened ten years ago?

Why did you leave home
and change your name?

I needed a change.

I caught a young thief once.

I thought he would reform,
so I let him go home.

I never imagined

that he would poison his own parents.

Tell me.

If he had run away and changed his name,
could he really have changed?

I don't know.

You want to arrest me.

I was a convicted murderer.

I was in Jingzhou prison for ten years.

I was originally from Gong Village.

My father was a butcher.

Once back then,
another butcher borrowed money from us,

but wasn't able to pay us back.
My father said,

men are no different from animals.

But this man is lower than an animal

because he's greedy.

My father handed me his cleaver.

I hacked the man to death.

I felt nothing.

I suddenly froze.

I heard the man's son crying.

The child was still alive.
He was staring at me.

My father was wrong.

Humans are not animals.

A murder sentence
should be more than ten years.

There was an amnesty ten years ago.

I knew I had to change.

I had to leave my hometown to start over.

I needed to be Liu Jinxi.

I almost succeeded.

Dad! The market is open.

Please leave us alone.

Will you?

Dad! We need to hurry!

Xu Baijiu, you should come with us too!

- Will be right there.
- Hurry!

Hurry!

All right. Let's go.

There is a strong energy field
surrounding him.

He's radiating Qi,
even repelling the flies!

He lied to you.

How could a common butcher's son
develop such powerful Qi?

Take this, I guarantee it won't cut him.

You told me it wouldn't cut!

The city and the trees should hear

Who cannot redress wrongs

Jinxi's resentment stays
In the mountains and forests

Man asks for justice but got empty wait

The rise of the Moon is like
The curved blade of the knife...

Bad man, get out of this village!

No ship will sail for you tonight

No one will forward the letter for you

Have you no shame?

I've verified the facts.

There's no Gong Village in Jingzhou.

There's no butcher
in Jingzhou with a last name Gong.

But ten years ago,
a butcher's family was massacred.

A butcher named Zhang
borrowed money, but didn't repay the loan.

Their flesh was used
for savory bun filling

and distributed to unsuspecting villagers.

The villagers said they had
never tasted anything so delicious.

You must be familiar with the case.

Are you all right?

I am fine.

You'll get used to it in time.

Listen, the 72 Demons

are the last surviving Tanguts.

They used to be civilized, like us.

But after the massacre of 800,000 Tanguts,

the survivors became savages.

They ate raw meat
and left their dead unburied.

Hunger for revenge is
what keeps them alive.

I guess it's karma.

After this killing, Tang Long,
the second in command, went missing.

Liu Jinxi has lived here
for about ten years, hasn't he?

So he is Tang Long.

You disappeared for ten years,
but you were never imprisoned.

You killed the butcher's family.
You're not a butcher's son.

You were the 72 Demons' second in command.

I must return to the county
to get a warrant for his arrest!

Xu Baijiu, where are you going?

Are you leaving?

Yes.

I suppose your work here is done?

You healed quickly.

The doctor said
you nearly cut a major artery.

That would have killed me.

You were lucky.

Maybe you're lucky?

I know a shortcut. Let me lead the way.

Otherwise, you won't make it
to Feng County by nightfall.

That would be a shame.

Few people know about this path.

I came across it by accident.

Will you close the case
after you leave here?

Yes, I will.

You don't believe me.

We part ways here.

Keep going straight.
After an hour, you'll reach the main road.

Keeping walking, you'll find Feng County.

What are you waiting for?

Good bye then.

That road did lead to Feng County.

Why didn't he kill me?

Xu Baijiu, you've worked for me
for ten years and you're still so naive?

Captain, it's different this time.

I could lend you the men under my command,

but they're just
a bunch of cowards and bums.

Hire some outlaws.

But using criminals
to stop a criminal is playing with fire.

Xu Baijiu, just let it go.

Tang Long is not a wanted criminal.
Why do you want a warrant?

The 72 Demons are notorious outlaws.

And Tang Long is their second in command.

Where's the proof?

Even if you bribe the judge for a warrant,
you're risking your life.

- I'll report the judge!
- Nonsense!

How much do you want?

- Twenty taels of silver.
- What?

I only receive four taels a year!
Where will I find that?

Business hours are over.

Come back to me when you have the money.

I never expected
to need help from this person,

my wife.

I'll pay you back.

Is business good?

I'll burn incense for your father.

Don't bother.

I am afraid Father won't like it.

Before he passed away, he made it clear.

What about you? You still blame me?

Does it matter?

Father was wrong to sell fake medicine.

But the medicine didn't cost any lives.

He got on his knees
and begged for your mercy.

You wouldn't let go.

What did you feel like?

It wasn't up to me. It was up to law.

He was only guilty
of selling fake medicine.

- He didn't need to commit suicide.
- I know.

You said it before.

You'll never forgive me.

You still don't understand.

Not forgiving, you'd have to still care.

Is the law
really more important than humanity?

Captain, what has the world come to?

Whatever the world has become,

you have no choice but to be part of it.

COMMAND

Tsu Kun, where're you taking me?

Where's my reward?

Whatever you have to say,
tell Master yourself.

Are you saying

Tang Long is in the village you mentioned?

Yes.

And he has two sons?

Yes, one is his.

One is from his wife's previous marriage.

Are you telling me this

because you think
I want information about Tang Long?

Tsu Kun, what's going on?

Answer me.

You didn't go to the 36 Constellations.

You didn't go to the Black Dragon Gang.

Instead, you came here.

Because you know
we have a connection with Tang Long.

True?

No, Master. It's not...

Tsu Kun, help me!

Tsu Kun, help me!

Tell him who Tang Long is.

Tang Long is the son of our Master!

You came here with this information,

so that I would kill my own son!

You...

How dare you!

Tell me, should I kill Tang Long?

Well? Should I kill him?

None of you can match him!

None of you!

Master wants to bring Tang Long back!

Who's that? Sun Quan? My boy.

- Did you ever work the land?
- I did.

What are they reciting?

They're praying for souls
to be released from purgatory.

You see, when you till the earth,

you can't avoid
harming the small creatures in it.

Jinxi performed a brave deed

by killing two criminals.

We make a record of Jinxi's great deed.

Jinxi is a man of integrity.

His bravery and kindness
are a blessing to us

and an example for our youth.

We will remember and be inspired...

Go down on your knees.

Kneel!

I am Liu Jinxi.

Liu Jinxi?

I am Liu Jinxi.

Tell the truth!

Dad!

Who are you?

This is a family matter so shut up!

What are you guys shouting about? Shut up!

Be quiet!

You deny you're Tang Long?

What's happening?

They're about to fight.

I'm not going back.

You know that he wants you back.
He won't give up!

You are Tang Long.

You still are...

I'll get you some water.

The Chief told us
to take shelter in the fortress.

That's why I'm packing.
I've already packed your belongings.

Good.

What do you mean?

I can't go with you.

So we're not going either.

We should leave
and start a new life somewhere else.

It's useless.

How can you say that?

Have some water.

Don't say that.

It's too late to say that,
do you understand?

Thank you for letting me be Liu Jinxi.

But I'm not Liu Jinxi.

Jinxi.

That day by the pond,

if the woman you met hadn't been me...

would you have stayed?

Sir, spare my children!

Kill me if you must! They're innocent!

Sir, I beg you.

Sir, please don't.

Please don't.

Sir...

Sir...

I'm sorry.

What happened?

It must be the 72 Demons!

It doesn't look good. If we capture
Tang Long, they might still ambush us.

Nothing will stop them from coming back.

We should just let them kill each other
and return later.

What for, if he's dead?

He'll receive a death sentence anyway.

Xu Baijiu, what do you really want?

I must bring him to justice.

You promised never to return.

Is this Tang Long?

Tang Long of the 72 Demons.

They will come back.

Let's wait nearby.
Let them kill each other.

No, we should all stay.

Stay if you want to! We're leaving!

We'll return for the corpses!

The other day in the forest...

why didn't you kill me?

You promised never to return.

And you believed me?

I did.

A-Yu told me something.

She said, "Xu Baijiu is a good man,
he just doesn't know it."

There is no such thing.

Good men don't exist.

The human body is amazing.
It can trick you.

I want to use your body to trick them.

Tang Long, you must die.

There are three stages of death,

the brink, the degeneration,
and the final death.

In the first stage, we appear dead.

Most people will be fooled.

I want you to enter this first stage.

You'll be in a coma.

Most people can't tell the difference.

He's dead!

But to trick the 72 Demons,

you need to enter
the more dangerous second stage.

When the demons arrive,

I'll press the vagus nerve in your neck

to induce the degeneration stage.

Your breathing and pulse will stop.

You'll show no signs of life.

You'll lose all sensation.

You can stay in this condition
for up to 15 minutes.

If I fail to revive you in time,

you will truly be dead.

We're taking Tang Long's body
to the court. Step aside!

You drove Tang Long to his death!

The dead will not return

The soul will return

The soul will return

Come back

The soul will return

The soul will return

The soul will return

Which one of you is Tang Long's son?

Tell me, which one of you
is Tang Long's son?

His name is Xiaotian.

He's four years old.

I'm returning
this murderous arm to the clan.

I'm done with the 72 Demons.

You choose a wife and children

over your own home?

My brother Tang Long is dead.

My brother Tang Long is dead!

Our brother Tang Long is dead!

You still need to tell the Master.

He's waiting for you at your home.

Let's go!

Dad!

What happened?

I'm no longer with the 72 Demons.

Everyone has arrived.

Everyone is here. Let's eat.

When your father was little,
he looked just like me,

especially when he was angry.

My splitting image.

Even if he got lost,
people would send him back to me.

Don't you agree?

Why did you nod?

Look at him now.

He doesn't look like me anymore!

But my grandson...

he does.

The beans are good.

Xiaotian, have some beanie.

Beanie beanie, yummy yummy
Eat beanie or be skinny

I didn't tell you to sing.

I didn't tell you to sing!

Beanie beanie, yummy yummy

I didn't tell you to sing!

I beg you, please!

Please stop, I beg you!

Please don't!

Children must do as they're told.

When your father was little,
he hated it when I was away.

Once I came back,

he had stripped the leaves
from the tree in front of the house.

I asked him why.

He said I once promised him

when all the leaves had fallen,

I would return.

That's why he stripped all the leaves off.

Then he asked,
"The leaves were long gone

but why were you still not back?"

In the end, I burned the tree down.

I hated it for disappointing my son!

Bastard!

After that, every time I went out,

my son made me take him with me.

He said, "Now the tree's gone,
how will you come home?"

I've cut off my arm for you.

We're not related any more.

I will let you go.

I'm a fair man.

When one leaves, another takes his place.

Your blood is mine!

His blood is mine too!

Your blood, it is not
the blood of a Tangut anymore!

Your blood is vile!

The world has abandoned us Tanguts!

How could you forget?

How could you raise a family
like you're one of them?

You are a traitor.

There's a needle in his heel.

We need another one!

You were given to me by God.

But He let you betray me.

Don't blame me for killing you!

This investigation is now closed.

The day of Frost, 1917.

Xiaotian, more rice or soup?

Soup.

Eat slowly.

Jinxi.

I'll see you tonight.
