Candle in the Tomb: the Weasel Grave

(the entire story is fiction, any resemblance to real life events is purely coincidental)

Episode 4

You slept here last night? And didn't freeze your ass to death?

2nd big bro...

I got drunk, so I kept digging and fell asleep.

Bai Gou, where's your little mate Huang Niu?

Looking for sluts again? That bastard, who knows which woman's crotch he got stuck in.

Look at you two, digging up graves next to our village all day.

You found anything?

You don't know to share with your big bro?

2nd big bro, come!

You think I was kidding?

Here!

Big bro...

Silver pieces!

I don't want the stinky money of the dead!

Why not, big bro?

Build a house, get a wife,

ride a bike and earn work points.

All these life-goals,

can you achieve by digging graves for some silver?

You need to do something big!

Right now in the village,

two "educated youths",

are gonna hunt the man-bear.

If we take out the man-bear before they do,

then we go back to the village as heroes!

Big bro, great plan!

If we get the bear, we don't need to dig up graves anymore!

We'll raise our status too!

Wanna come?! - Yes!

Then go get Huang Niu! - OK!

You know where to meet? - Yes!

My...

Hu Bayi, do you know the ferocity of the man-bear?

What's there to fear?

The US imperialists call the Russian revisionist bears.

You think we fear them?

Bastards always try to kill and revise us too, can't let them win!

Yanzi, we are many, we fight to the bitter end!

Let's see who falls first!

To liberate the whole world,

we must catch many weasels, take many bear bladders!

And contribute to the worldwide revolution!

Keep boasting,

elevating to the world-level after catching just one weasel.

Man-bear is not that easy.

Listen to yourself...

Old man, why do we stop?

What is he doing?

The 4 formulas of the art, "watch", "smell", "ask" and "clip".

Each formula has an upper and lower part.

In "watch", the upper part is observing stars or the ground,

the lower part is checking the soil and grass.

What did you say? Don't trust everything from the books.

The soil smells bear urine, we are close.

Let's split up, little Hu will follow me, you two go together.

If you find the bear cave, blow the whistle!

Old man, I know old Hu best, can't we two go together?

I know the way, Hu Bayi comes with me!

Old man wants me to follow him, he must have his reasons.

We have whistles. I'm leaving, whistle if there's anything.

Let's go!

The hell is this...

Yanzi...

Wait for me, OK?

You leave me here, I'll get lost! - Should've lost you long ago!

Little Hu, do you know,

why you must follow me?

Please tell me.

The 36 professions all have mastery of their own.

But feeding yourself with this profession, is not easy.

I don't want this profession, just earning work points.

There are things you cannot escape from. The weasel grave is just the beginning,

your way ahead,

is still long!

I don't understand what you said.

Listen!

When the bear roars, it's gonna eat someone!

Some die, some live.

Those who live, must keep walking this path.

By path,

do you mean this?

As a Mojin officer, you can't even find your own path!

How do you face your ancestral master?!

Old man...

I wanna ask something!

Ask, you got at least 3 questions!

Do you know what's inside this bag? - Wrong question!

Did Hua Mei really get possessed? - Wrong again!

What is a Mojin officer?

Yanzi, lemme tell you. The great revolutionary mentor, comrade Lenin once taught us:

some bastards have no discipline, using banners as quilt, (exploiting revolution for personal gain)

fooling themselves as well as others.

You know who I'm talking about? I haven't read many books, I don't get what you are saying.

Just one thing:

keep quiet, don't wake up the man-bear!

But you're as loud as me, watch yourself first!

Arguing with girls, what a man you are!

Arguments reveal the truth!

You won't die from holding back pee!

If you know what's true, then tell me, why is uncle Qiao Shan interested in Hu Bayi?

Actually, I haven't figured it out yet.

Maybe the old man likes him, and wants to teach him hunting?

You can't learn hunting by watching, you must practice hard!

Why would he teach him behind our back?

True that.

Then you tell me...

Two weasels!

10 kg of candies, Yanzi, after them!

Wang Kaixuan!

Don't mess with them!

Wang Kaixuan!

Wang Kaixuan, come back!

Wang Kaixuan!

Wang Kaixuan!

Come back you hear me?

Wang Kaixuan!

Wang Kaixuan, are you OK?

Yanzi, help me!

There are 4 major schools of tomb raiders. "Mojin officers",

"Faqiu generals",

"Banshan taoists" and "Xieling warriors".

These 4 major schools have each of their own masters,

as well as their own specialties.

"Mojin officers", among the 4,

is the only school using Feng Shui and astrology to find tombs.

Your "16 words of Yin-Yang and Feng Shui secret arts",

was written by Mojin officers in Qing-dynasty.

It got passed onto their disciples along with the compass.

Little Hu,

you understand me now?

Nope!

You are a Mojin descendant.

You are a Mojin officer!

Old man, let me ask you again.

This broken book and the compass belong to Mojin officers?

Yes.

And Mojin officers pass them onto their disciples?

Right.

Only disciples, not descendants?

True. But I'm a descendant, not a disciple.

You ancestors left you treasures, you must take them.

They didn't leave me any words, but I must take their stuff? That's funny!

A Mojin officer lost his disciples, and left treasures to his descendants. It's easy to understand, why do you have so much BS?

Old man!

Old man...

One last question, how do you know about all these?

If you live long enough, how can you not know?

We are being followed!

Big bro!

Big bro!

That hurts!

Those 2 men are heading north, not turning back, not hunting. Bro, I saw them heading west.

I laid the beast traps, do we follow them?

Do we head north or west?

North! - West!

OK OK.

No matter if it's north or west, we do it this way:

while mantis catches cicada, sparrow comes from behind! (Chinese idiom)

Understand?

Yeah, yeah.

Who's the mantis?

That educated youth, Hu.

Who's the sparrow?

That old man!

What old man, you talk without thinking!

The old man is sparrow now?

Bro I get it!

The man-bear is the sparrow!

The sparrow is the man-bear!

Do you know why I brought you two?

Bro, I know!

Because we are loyal!

You are loyal?

Yeah? Because you are loyal, we are loyal too!

Of course!

If I'm loyal, then you two are schmucks!

If I'm not, then you are big schmucks!

Understand?

That makes us big schmucks then!

Bro bro, stay bro!

Now I finally get it!

That sparrow,

is Yanzi and Fatty! Right bro?

Fine, your bro is wrong!

Forget I said it.

Bro, even if I guessed right, you don't have to bow to me!

I...

No, we are the sparrows!

OK fine!

You don't need to... Spare us, boss!

You are Xu Erhei from the village!

Uncle Qiao Shan! Of course, I'm Xu Erhei!

You see, we are family!

Hope you are well?

Old man, you wanna save him or punish him?

You stole a goat from the forest last year. I haven't punished you for that!

Don't, we didn't steal that goat... Speak, why do you follow us?

Speak up, or we feed you to the man-bear!

But... feed us one by one or together?

These two go first, you watch.

But...

Go ahead then! - Why us two?

He made us follow him! Why feed us two?!

Shut up!

What did he say?

He said we can get a bike, build a house, find a wife!

Yes, he said you guys hunt the bear, we pick up your leftovers!

Nobody thinks you are mute if you shut up!

Big bro, how can you stay so stubborn!

They got guns, just confess!

I confess!

We are from Mt. Xiangya village!

We lend money from the dead, sometimes ask bro for advice.

That's all!

There's not only man-bear, but also...

Listen to me, there's also vein of gold...

I tell you...

Get down! - I won't run! I won't I won't!

Don't kill us! - Mamma mia!

Xu Erhei!

Xu Erhei!

Man-bear!

My god...

Freeze!

Hua Bangzi?

Old man, you know him?

Everyone from this area knows him!

Hua Bangzi!

The infamous bandit leader, who raped innocent girls!

Killed dozens of people too! After the liberation, the county police has been looking for him.

Where's the man-bear? - Dead.

How? - Killed by poison.

When was this? - Last fall.

I ate the meat, drank the blood, and took the fur.

And the bladder?

Dried it and ground it to powder, ate it as medicine! How much is left, and where?

What's this?

My daughter is possessed, I need it to save her!

With guns pointed at my head, I need to be saved too!

How about you take me in as your son-in-law,

and save both of us!

Shameless pervert! Blast him, old Hu!

Get lost, who are you trying to scare?

When I licked blood off my knife,

you still wore baby-pants!

We give you a chance, don't waste it!

You get lost too!

You shot me for real?

Next time, I won't miss!

Fine, it's in my inner pocket, take it!

Fatty! - Here!

Tie him up, I go back for now.

Fatty, Yanzi, tie up this bastard!

Alrighty!

Yanzi!

Take it! - OK.

Here, 1, 2...

Tie him well!

Lower!

Here, give it to me.

Commander Hu,

how's my timely arrival, my backup came in handy eh?

Like "Assault on White Tiger Regiment" or "Taking of Tiger Mountain"!

Chief-of-staff Wang, you made 2 mistakes.

First, these two are totally different stories.

Second, your infiltration failed, this counts as defying order!

Yanzi! - Here!

Execute him! - Roger!

I always wanted to shoot him!

On the way here, he ran after 2 weasels and almost died!

Shut up, traitor!

Didn't we agree to leave out this part?

You don't have to rat me out to impress him!

We didn't catch the man-bear, but caught this dude instead.

We got enough work points for the year... - Shut up!

Where did the weasels come from?

Who knows where, they almost lured away our main force!

Could they be the weasel goddess' helpers?

Forget the weasels.

Hu Bayi!

On our way here we saw two men,

who carried Xu Erhei and ran the other way!

They didn't answer our call, what's going on?

How come we forgot that bastard?

You blind? - You are blind!

Who are you talking about? - You! So what?

I dare you to say it again! - You glare at me? Try to glare at me again! - So what if I do!?

I'll chop you if you glare at me! - You kept pushing me around!

If tigers don't bite, you think I'm a fat cat!

If you don't chop me today, I'm your dad! Try to scare me, think you got the nerves?

You gonna chop me or not?

I tell you, if you didn't keep shouting, how could they catch us?

You sly bastard! You told them everything!

Try grab me again? - I kill you today for big bro!

I kill you!

Come on!

I was just lying here...

Almost got shot to death! I heard you guys fighting just when I woke up!

Big bro, are you alright?

How come you fainted bro?

Don't ask!

I beat you up if you ask! - I see I see... What are you two doing here?

Exercising! - Just playing around... - I got stretched!

I bust you in your f#%king mouth!

Big bro, calm down, I tell you something important, and you won't slap him, OK?

Speak!

Listen carefully big bro. It was not a man-bear, but a man!

A man dressed in bear fur!

A man? Bandit leader of Mt. Zhensan, Hua Bangzi!

Back to the village first, let's talk afterwards.

You spoke half a sentence back there, right?

I... what did I say?

You told Hu Bayi,

other than the man-bear on Mt. Tuan,

there's also... also what?

I... did I say that?

You did.

You said half a sentence,

before I started running.

I know what's in Mt. Tuan.

But I didn't know, that you know too.

We don't know anything!

Two liars!

He is, I'm not.

No, big bro...

How would I know, that I know what you know?

Right?

What are you doing?

This thing is from your family!

Then it's correct!

Man-bear is hard to kill.

Is this thing hard to find?

Running into man-bear,

you may survive.

Looking for this thing,

you are seeking death! Why?

In the legends,

this thing,

is at a specific place in the mountain.

Nobody can enter that place.

If you enter,

you die!

Where is it?

The ghost court!
