refers to a deceased person who can't be buried right away.

This Midnight Inn caters to both the living and the dead.

Its white lanterns in the front yard welcome passing merchants,

Hurry up.
10

A red coffin, red attire, red joss paper, and red lanterns,
11
00:01:10,365 --> 00:01:11,733
these four reds signal
12
00:01:11,733 --> 00:01:14,665
a ghost bride's reburial for a ghost marriage.
13
00:01:15,733 --> 00:01:16,666
But there's a custom:
14
00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:21,400
before the marriage, the bride must spend a night at the mortuary,
15
00:01:22,033 --> 00:01:23,933
where the esteemed innkeeper Huai,
16
00:01:23,965 --> 00:01:26,432
who knows the ways of the living and the dead,
17
00:01:27,566 --> 00:01:31,233
helps set the rules for her.
18

Hurry now.
19
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,633
The red thread and cinnabar powder.
20
00:01:40,566 --> 00:01:42,165
Oh no, I forgot them.

[Qiao Xianglan from Binjiang]
22
00:01:55,332 --> 00:01:56,733
Do you really think we might run into a ghost?
23
00:01:57,566 --> 00:02:00,165
Better safe than sorry.
24
00:02:05,965 --> 00:02:06,765
Who is it?
25
00:02:07,332 --> 00:02:08,599
Sorry to bother you.
26
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,733
You are peddlers, right?
27
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:15,232
Oh, you are the innkeeper.
28
00:02:15,532 --> 00:02:19,000
Do you have a needle, red thread, and cinnabar powder?
29
00:02:19,466 --> 00:02:20,300
I have the needle and thread.
30
00:02:21,165 --> 00:02:22,432
How much cinnabar powder do you need?
31
00:02:22,665 --> 00:02:24,665
Eight qian, and it needs to be premium grade.
32
00:02:25,265 --> 00:02:25,865
Please wait.
33
00:02:40,366 --> 00:02:42,000
We don't have any cinnabar powder.
34
00:02:48,466 --> 00:02:50,000
Isn't this just rouge?
35
00:02:53,866 --> 00:02:55,266
There's no guarantee for others,
36
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,800
but I'm giving you the right amount.
37
00:02:58,866 --> 00:02:59,400
Here you are.
38
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,066
If there's any noise outside, act like you didn't hear it.
39
00:03:06,866 --> 00:03:10,366
Don't open the door if someone knocks after I leave.
40
00:03:10,932 --> 00:03:14,066
And if the sticky rice changes color…
41
00:03:14,066 --> 00:03:17,066
it means trouble.
42
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:19,032
All right.
43
00:03:25,165 --> 00:03:25,966
See you.
44
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:46,400
Who is it?
45
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,933
Scissors.
46
00:04:03,733 --> 00:04:05,066
Scissors, huh? Wait there.
47
00:04:17,565 --> 00:04:18,399
Scissors.
48
00:04:18,833 --> 00:04:21,900
Why does she need scissors in the middle of the night?
49
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:25,765
My goodness.
50
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:30,199
Um...
51
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,800
Why are you so drenched?
52
00:05:21,665 --> 00:05:22,699
Mr. Huai.
53
00:05:23,233 --> 00:05:24,566
It's all right now.
54
00:05:25,233 --> 00:05:27,533
It's a sleep talisman drawn with cinnabar powder.
55
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,432
It can calm the spirit.
56
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,466
Cinnabar... cinnabar powder?

[Midnight Inn]
58
00:05:47,565 --> 00:05:50,599
In the end, those two crooks
59
00:05:50,632 --> 00:05:54,365
had their souls consumed by the female ghost.
60
00:05:55,932 --> 00:05:58,599
Fortunately, our innkeeper was tough
61
00:05:59,165 --> 00:06:01,600
and managed to escape.
62
00:06:02,132 --> 00:06:03,233
Just think about it.
63
00:06:03,865 --> 00:06:06,865
These scoundrels sold fake cinnabar powder.
64
00:06:07,466 --> 00:06:08,533
They might fool people,
65
00:06:09,033 --> 00:06:10,533
but can they deceive the heavens?
66
00:06:13,932 --> 00:06:15,800
You are scaring people with ghost stories again, aren't you?
67
00:06:16,865 --> 00:06:18,099
I'm not making this up.
68
00:06:19,399 --> 00:06:22,032
The innkeeper told me this himself.
69
00:06:22,432 --> 00:06:23,233
That's enough now.
70
00:06:23,233 --> 00:06:24,033
Go boil some water.
71
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:26,799
Will the Spirit of Joy really rise from the dead?
72
00:06:26,865 --> 00:06:28,132
Don't listen to his nonsense.
73
00:06:28,632 --> 00:06:31,432
It's just the old man's way of entertaining us.
74
00:06:31,766 --> 00:06:32,566
It's getting late.
75
00:06:32,865 --> 00:06:35,565
If there's nothing else, you should get some rest.
76
00:06:41,565 --> 00:06:42,265
Master,
77
00:06:43,132 --> 00:06:45,832
this place is pretty creepy.
78
00:06:51,932 --> 00:06:53,966
They are moving! Master, the paper figures are moving!
79
00:06:54,132 --> 00:06:56,832
At the entrance to the underworld, by the River of Yin and Yang,
80
00:06:57,266 --> 00:07:00,100
The Midnight Inn has many rules.
81
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:04,233
White lanterns welcome the living,
82
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,665
while red lanterns greet the dead.
83
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:10,632
Don't look at the sticky rice near the threshold when you enter.
84
00:07:11,266 --> 00:07:13,700
If it's the dead, it will change color.
85
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:16,800
It's best to stay away from this place
86
00:07:17,432 --> 00:07:20,132
to avoid risking your life for a mere bargain.
87
00:07:20,266 --> 00:07:21,665
Don't talk nonsense at this late hour.
88
00:07:22,865 --> 00:07:25,932
Who would come to this godforsaken place if they had money?
89
00:07:27,632 --> 00:07:28,132
Here.
90
00:07:29,432 --> 00:07:30,266
When did you come in?
91
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:31,866
Listen.
92
00:07:32,466 --> 00:07:33,466
The innkeeper isn't here today,
93
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,600
so I won't kick you out.
94
00:07:35,065 --> 00:07:37,000
Once the rain stops, you better head out yourself.
95
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:43,199
I suggest you all don't hang around.
96
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,033
Rumor has it that a terrifying Spirit of Joy is here,
97
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:49,865
and his name is Sage-like.
98
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,800
Are you done yet?
99
00:07:50,966 --> 00:07:52,533
- If the dead were to rise, - Enough already.
100
00:07:52,533 --> 00:07:54,133
- none of you would make it out alive. - Leave.
101
00:08:40,533 --> 00:08:41,166
Madam,
102
00:08:41,732 --> 00:08:43,765
you don't look like you're here to check in.
103
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,033
Is there something I can help you with?
104
00:08:47,033 --> 00:08:48,300
Is the innkeeper around?
105
00:08:48,832 --> 00:08:49,665
He's out at the moment.
106
00:08:50,332 --> 00:08:52,565
If you need anything, you can tell me.
107
00:09:08,932 --> 00:09:11,566
Sir, does your Midnight Inn
108
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:16,799
have a Spirit of Joy named Sage-like?
109
00:09:19,166 --> 00:09:21,233
Master, who is Sage-like?
110
00:09:25,666 --> 00:09:29,066
The Midnight Inn caters to both the living and the dead,
111
00:09:29,466 --> 00:09:30,200
so naturally,
112
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:31,665
we've had quite a few bodies.
113
00:09:32,066 --> 00:09:33,399
However, none match the one you just mentioned.
114
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:35,699
You are Mrs. An, right?
115
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,266
Your family owns half of the banks in Qingyun Town.
116
00:09:39,765 --> 00:09:40,765
Did you come at this hour
117
00:09:41,365 --> 00:09:42,765
just to search for a corpse?
118
00:09:45,732 --> 00:09:46,532
Sir,
119
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,133
could you take me to the morgue for a quick look?
120
00:09:50,232 --> 00:09:51,465
I've already told you.
121
00:09:52,133 --> 00:09:53,566
The one you are looking for isn't here.
122
00:09:54,732 --> 00:09:58,365
I've come to Midnight Inn because I am in real trouble.
123
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:00,165
If this isn't resolved,
124
00:10:01,066 --> 00:10:01,899
the An Family
125
00:10:03,732 --> 00:10:05,599
may never have a peaceful life.
126
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:06,800
In that case,
127
00:10:08,566 --> 00:10:09,899
why are you seeking out Sage-like?
128
00:10:13,732 --> 00:10:17,932
In fact, this issue's been bugging me for long.
129
00:10:19,765 --> 00:10:21,365
It's like a nightmare
130
00:10:23,166 --> 00:10:25,066
I can never escape.
131
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,533
That year,
132
00:10:29,232 --> 00:10:30,332
my mother died,
133
00:10:31,332 --> 00:10:32,765
and my father seemed to become a different person.
134
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:34,932
He became addicted to opium,
135
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:36,799
and he got into gambling.
136
00:10:46,166 --> 00:10:46,700
Sit down!

00:10:52,265 --> 00:10:53,199

Gong Laosan, your money, house deed, and land deed are all here.
140
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:01,066
Lose again, and you'll be left with nothing but your underwear.
141
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,900
Look at yourself!
142
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,700
Don't say I didn't try to help you.
143
00:11:07,232 --> 00:11:08,632
You've still got something left to bet.
144
00:11:08,865 --> 00:11:09,732
If you're willing,
145
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,500
the money and deeds will be yours again if you win.
146
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:16,232
What is this thing then?
147
00:11:20,432 --> 00:11:21,665
Go ahead and keep gambling!
148
00:11:22,765 --> 00:11:24,832
You're actually using your own daughter as a bet.
149
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,466
What kind of father are you?
150
00:11:27,832 --> 00:11:29,432
Don't you know what kind of a scumbag Luo Laoqi is?
151
00:11:30,265 --> 00:11:34,199
All his wives were beaten to death by him.
152
00:11:38,033 --> 00:11:38,899
- I might as well die! - Qing!
153
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:40,365
Don't do that!
154
00:11:41,666 --> 00:11:42,966
Please don't!

00:11:45,133 --> 00:11:46,533
I'm a terrible person.
156
00:11:46,765 --> 00:11:48,699
I've failed my daughter.
157
00:11:52,232 --> 00:11:53,265
Anyone home?
158

about the mortuary attire for our mistress tomorrow.

What burial...
164
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:10,566
Father.
165
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:14,899
Rest assured, Mr. Liu.
166
00:12:15,232 --> 00:12:16,500
I've got the clothes ready.
167
00:12:16,566 --> 00:12:17,500
I'll bring them over to you tomorrow.
168
00:12:17,832 --> 00:12:18,466
All right.
169
00:12:21,865 --> 00:12:24,332
Also, please remember
170
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,000
that the waist of the clothes needs to be half a chi larger.
171
00:12:28,765 --> 00:12:29,599
Yes, I remember.
172
00:12:30,232 --> 00:12:30,932
That's good then.
173
00:12:34,232 --> 00:12:35,365
Has Mrs. An passed away?
174
00:12:36,932 --> 00:12:39,200
I've seen her before. She wasn't overweight.
175
00:12:39,765 --> 00:12:42,232
Why does the clothing need to be half a chi larger?
176
00:12:42,765 --> 00:12:43,665
She was pregnant,
177
00:12:43,932 --> 00:12:44,832
so two lives were lost.
178
00:12:45,566 --> 00:12:46,566
You spend all your time gambling.
179
00:12:46,865 --> 00:12:47,899
What could you possibly know?
180
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:51,599
Qing.
181

[The Technique of Fortune-Bearing Child]
183
00:13:22,265 --> 00:13:23,599
Fortune-Bearing Child.
184
00:13:26,365 --> 00:13:27,899
This is quite unexpected.
185
00:13:28,033 --> 00:13:30,066
How come Mrs. An passed away all of a sudden?
186
00:13:30,633 --> 00:13:31,066
Father,
187
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,633
look at how big their residence is.
188
00:13:35,533 --> 00:13:36,865
Sir, may I ask...
189
00:13:36,865 --> 00:13:38,199
Father, he's a guest.
190
00:13:38,466 --> 00:13:39,399
Please make way.
191
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,000
Thank you.
192
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,800
He's here.
193
00:13:50,133 --> 00:13:50,865
Master,
194
00:13:51,033 --> 00:13:52,100
Sage-like is here.
195
00:14:02,832 --> 00:14:04,832
Mr. Sage, I've been expecting you.
196
00:14:05,365 --> 00:14:07,100
Hao, come and greet Mr. Sage.
197
00:14:11,066 --> 00:14:12,466
Mr. Sage, this way, please.
198
00:14:18,066 --> 00:14:18,466
Please.
199
00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:20,666
Excuse me,
200
00:14:21,033 --> 00:14:22,033
could you tell me
201
00:14:22,232 --> 00:14:22,899
who this is
202
00:14:22,932 --> 00:14:23,865
and why was he greeted by Master?
203
00:14:24,232 --> 00:14:25,065
You don't know him?
204
00:14:25,265 --> 00:14:26,099
I don't.
205
00:14:26,732 --> 00:14:29,065
Sage-like is renowned as a skilled fortune-teller.
206
00:14:29,533 --> 00:14:30,865
When the mistress was still alive,
207
00:14:31,066 --> 00:14:31,865
she would often have him perform rituals
208
00:14:31,865 --> 00:14:32,466
for divine intervention,
209
00:14:32,666 --> 00:14:33,566
and it always worked.
210
00:14:33,865 --> 00:14:34,500
Now,
211
00:14:34,666 --> 00:14:37,366
Mr. An has specifically invited him here
212
00:14:37,566 --> 00:14:39,200
to perform a funeral ritual for Mrs. An.
213
00:14:39,966 --> 00:14:40,966
Perform a funeral ritual.
214
00:14:42,432 --> 00:14:45,500
Mr. Gong, why are you just arriving?
215
00:14:45,932 --> 00:14:47,200
Have you got all the clothes with you?
216
00:14:47,432 --> 00:14:48,365
- We have. - They are all here.
217
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:49,466
Hurry and come with me.
218
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,666
Let's go.
219
00:15:28,732 --> 00:15:30,032
Oh, isn't this Gong Laosan?
220
00:15:31,365 --> 00:15:33,765
You two are really getting fancy, huh?
221
00:15:35,265 --> 00:15:36,099
Gong Laosan,
222
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,233
you have to give me 500 silver coins in three days.
223
00:15:38,765 --> 00:15:39,565
If you can't pay up,
224
00:15:39,966 --> 00:15:41,466
your daughter will be mine.
225
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,033
In that case,
226
00:15:43,033 --> 00:15:44,466
I suppose I should start calling you father-in-law.
227
00:15:44,932 --> 00:15:47,432
Guess we'll be family soon.
228
00:15:48,633 --> 00:15:49,865
What are you trying to do?
229
00:15:50,332 --> 00:15:51,199
Three days.
230
00:15:51,666 --> 00:15:52,900
You only have three days.
231
00:15:54,666 --> 00:15:55,100
Let's go.
232
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:55,865
Father.
233
00:16:12,265 --> 00:16:13,065
Father.
234
00:16:21,133 --> 00:16:22,200
I'm really sorry.
235
00:16:22,265 --> 00:16:24,132
We're out of options here as well.
236
00:16:24,466 --> 00:16:26,066
We'll definitely provide offerings every year
237
00:16:26,066 --> 00:16:27,466
and keep the incense burning.
238
00:16:28,365 --> 00:16:29,600
Father, let's leave.
239
00:16:30,232 --> 00:16:31,865
Even if you took the jade in her mouth,
240
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,865
it's not worth 500 silver coins.
241
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,666
We won't be stealing it.
242
00:16:37,133 --> 00:16:38,066
Qing,
243
00:16:38,066 --> 00:16:40,200
have you ever heard of Fortune-Bearing Child?
244
00:16:42,732 --> 00:16:44,000
This stillborn baby,
245
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,865
having died before birth,
246
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,932
carries immense resentment.
247
00:16:47,865 --> 00:16:50,399
By making offerings to keep it in the world,
248
00:16:50,865 --> 00:16:51,765
it might help grant our wishes
249
00:16:52,332 --> 00:16:54,765
and bring us luck in exchange.
250
00:16:55,432 --> 00:16:57,832
However, it's an extremely dangerous practice.
251
00:16:59,033 --> 00:17:00,166
If it works, it brings wealth.
252
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,099
If it fails, it can be deadly.
253
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:15,865
Father, how can you do something like this?
254
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,066
There will be repercussions.
255
00:17:18,066 --> 00:17:19,333
That's the least of my concern now.
256
00:17:19,365 --> 00:17:21,900
I'm not going to sell you to Luo Laoqi.
257
00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:23,333
Move aside.
258
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:48,466
Father, someone's coming.
259
00:17:48,532 --> 00:17:48,832
Someone's coming.
260
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,066
Stop hiding. Come out now.
261
00:18:23,799 --> 00:18:25,032
I knew something was off about you.
262
00:18:25,965 --> 00:18:27,500
So you really are the one responsible for her death.
263
00:18:29,165 --> 00:18:32,032
What are you up to?
264
00:18:37,633 --> 00:18:38,500
Not going to tell me, huh?
265
00:19:04,633 --> 00:19:05,966
Master!
266
00:19:06,266 --> 00:19:07,200
Young Master is dead!
267
00:19:07,365 --> 00:19:08,500
Young Master is dead!
268
00:19:10,133 --> 00:19:14,766
[Gong's Undertaking Shop]
269
00:19:32,633 --> 00:19:33,432
Mr. Gong.
270
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,799
Mr. Gong.
271
00:19:35,365 --> 00:19:36,165
Mr. Gong.
272
00:19:36,165 --> 00:19:36,965
Coming.
273
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Gong Qing.
274
00:19:38,266 --> 00:19:39,133
Mr. Liu,
275
00:19:39,932 --> 00:19:41,232
why the sudden visit?
276
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,466
Didn't we deliver the clothes to you yesterday?
277
00:19:46,365 --> 00:19:49,099
This time, it's for my young master.
278
00:19:52,633 --> 00:19:54,633
What happened to Young Master An?
279
00:19:54,833 --> 00:19:55,900
Don't even get me started.
280
00:19:56,032 --> 00:19:59,132
Sage-like said my mistress was carrying an evil fetus.
281
00:19:59,465 --> 00:20:01,132
Not only did it cause her death,
282
00:20:02,165 --> 00:20:03,200
but it also emerged
283
00:20:03,766 --> 00:20:05,300
from her corpse last night
284
00:20:05,532 --> 00:20:06,865
and killed Young Master An.
285
00:20:07,066 --> 00:20:09,566
Now, our whole household is in chaos.
286
00:20:10,133 --> 00:20:13,232
Sage-like is trying to find a way to capture that evil fetus.
287
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:16,232
Gong Qing,
288
00:20:17,165 --> 00:20:19,265
Can you rush the mortuary attire for us?
289
00:20:21,333 --> 00:20:22,432
Sure.
290
00:20:23,165 --> 00:20:24,633
I'll count on you then.
291
00:20:25,865 --> 00:20:27,665
I must attend to other matters and take my leave now.
292
00:20:32,432 --> 00:20:33,333
Oddly enough,
293
00:20:33,965 --> 00:20:35,500
ever since we made offerings to the Spirit Child that day,
294
00:20:35,732 --> 00:20:38,599
my dad's luck with gambling has suddenly improved.
295
00:20:39,333 --> 00:20:40,133
Another round!
296
00:20:43,066 --> 00:20:43,900
Qing,
297
00:20:44,532 --> 00:20:45,632
I've paid off my debt.
298
00:20:46,566 --> 00:20:47,633
And I still have quite some money left.
299
00:20:48,333 --> 00:20:49,133
Take it.
300
00:20:49,532 --> 00:20:50,332
When you get married,
301
00:20:50,365 --> 00:20:53,232
it will be part of your dowry.
302
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,700
What's wrong, Qing? Is there something troubling you?
303
00:21:07,432 --> 00:21:10,266
Father, my right eyelid has been twitching lately,
304
00:21:11,133 --> 00:21:12,766
and I have a bad feeling that something's going to happen.
305
00:21:14,266 --> 00:21:15,066
Maybe
306
00:21:15,766 --> 00:21:19,400
we should tell the An Family about the murder Sage-like committed.
307
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,833
It's better to avoid trouble if we can.
308
00:21:22,365 --> 00:21:23,365
We're just common folk.
309
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:24,700
We can't afford to make enemies.
310
00:21:24,865 --> 00:21:26,365
If the An Family hadn't listened to that evil fortune-teller,
311
00:21:26,766 --> 00:21:28,200
they wouldn't be in trouble.
312
00:21:28,932 --> 00:21:30,532
It's not our fault.
313
00:21:33,266 --> 00:21:35,466
I'm hungry. Go get me some rice.
314
00:22:54,865 --> 00:22:56,066
That's strange.
315
00:23:10,232 --> 00:23:11,133
Why aren't you eating?
316
00:23:13,432 --> 00:23:14,232
Qing?
317
00:23:15,865 --> 00:23:16,799
Father,
318
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,865
I feel cold.
319
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,000
What's the matter, Father?
320
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:32,732
I'm fine.
321
00:23:39,465 --> 00:23:42,165
Father, our lives are better now.
322
00:23:42,465 --> 00:23:43,565
Please promise me
323
00:23:44,066 --> 00:23:45,665
that we'll live a steady and reliable life from now on,
324
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,400
and quit gambling for good.
325
00:23:47,633 --> 00:23:48,633
I promise you.
326
00:23:50,665 --> 00:23:51,965
I will never gamble again.
327
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,532
I want to see my daughter
328
00:23:56,766 --> 00:23:58,800
marry with honor and pride.
329
00:24:00,732 --> 00:24:01,532
Father.
330
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:04,032
I'll go get some rice for you.
331
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,200
Who is it?
332
00:24:24,432 --> 00:24:26,766
Father, open the door. I'm back.
333
00:24:27,266 --> 00:24:28,966
I just delivered Young Master An's mortuary attire.
334
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:31,665
Open the door, Father.
335
00:24:33,333 --> 00:24:35,533
Father, open the door.
336
00:24:40,665 --> 00:24:41,465
Father.
337
00:24:42,865 --> 00:24:43,932
Open the door, Father.
338
00:24:45,333 --> 00:24:46,566
I'm back.
339
00:24:49,932 --> 00:24:50,732
Father.
340
00:24:52,932 --> 00:24:53,865
Open the door, Father.
341
00:24:59,833 --> 00:25:02,233
Father, open the door.
342
00:25:03,365 --> 00:25:04,165
Father.
343
00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:06,399
Father!
344
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:09,399
Father!
345
00:25:10,566 --> 00:25:11,365
Go!
346
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,200
Father.
347
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:14,799
Father.
348
00:25:16,566 --> 00:25:17,665
What's going on, Father?
349
00:25:18,133 --> 00:25:18,932
Father.
350
00:25:19,032 --> 00:25:26,165
Father! Open the door, Father.
351
00:25:30,032 --> 00:25:30,932
What's happening?
352
00:25:30,965 --> 00:25:31,765
Father!
353
00:25:32,232 --> 00:25:33,032
Father.
354
00:25:33,232 --> 00:25:34,566
Open the door.
355
00:25:40,333 --> 00:25:41,566
Father.
356
00:25:44,032 --> 00:25:45,032
Father.
357
00:25:52,965 --> 00:25:55,299
Open the door, Father.
358
00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:04,099
Open the door, Father.
359
00:26:05,633 --> 00:26:06,766
Cutting the clothes
360
00:26:07,266 --> 00:26:08,466
and opening the belly,
361
00:26:09,266 --> 00:26:11,566
it was you who made a wish to me.
362
00:26:12,232 --> 00:26:13,099
The red thread has snapped,
363
00:26:13,432 --> 00:26:14,500
and you didn't burn any incense.
364
00:26:14,833 --> 00:26:17,633
Now, you must pay with your life for your ingratitude.
365
00:26:20,432 --> 00:26:22,365
- Father. - Don't go inside. Let's leave.
366
00:26:22,865 --> 00:26:24,500
The fire's too intense. Let's get out of here!
367
00:26:25,032 --> 00:26:25,832
Father!
368
00:26:29,665 --> 00:26:30,465
Father!
369
00:26:31,732 --> 00:26:32,965
It wasn't until later that I found out
370
00:26:33,833 --> 00:26:35,066
the Spirit Child was a wicked fetus
371
00:26:35,099 --> 00:26:36,699
cultivated by Sage-like for his Vajra Practice.
372
00:26:38,133 --> 00:26:39,165
Getting entangled with it
373
00:26:40,266 --> 00:26:41,466
meant the only solution was to pay with your life.
374
00:26:53,133 --> 00:26:54,200
If, as you said,
375
00:26:54,665 --> 00:26:56,265
the dead fetus had been cremated,
376
00:26:56,932 --> 00:26:59,232
why are you still looking for Sage-like?
377
00:26:59,333 --> 00:27:00,633
You used to sell mortuary attire.
378
00:27:01,365 --> 00:27:02,665
How did you become Mrs. An?
379
00:27:06,732 --> 00:27:07,732
After my father died,
380
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,900
I told the An Family about the murder Sage-like committed.
381
00:27:11,633 --> 00:27:12,700
Mr. An reported it to the police,
382
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,833
and Sage-like was shot dead.
383
00:27:16,865 --> 00:27:19,532
Later, seeing my plight,
384
00:27:20,566 --> 00:27:21,700
Mr. An took me in.
385
00:27:22,165 --> 00:27:23,765
This young lady is so beautiful.
386
00:27:23,865 --> 00:27:28,532
If I were Mr. An, I'd want to marry her too.
387
00:27:30,633 --> 00:27:31,700
Daydreaming again, huh?
388
00:27:32,465 --> 00:27:33,265
Done cleaning the table?
389
00:27:33,766 --> 00:27:35,300
If you are, go keep watch at the morgue tonight.
390
00:27:35,665 --> 00:27:37,200
Why is it me again?
391
00:27:37,766 --> 00:27:38,666
Half a year ago,
392
00:27:40,066 --> 00:27:41,365
Mr. An died of illness,
393
00:27:41,766 --> 00:27:43,666
and I thought all the troubles were over.
394
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:45,932
But just a few days ago,
395
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:49,566
Once again, strange things have resumed.
396
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,333
Cutting the clothes and opening the belly,
397
00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:48,332
it was you who made a wish to me.
398
00:28:48,665 --> 00:28:51,265
The red thread has snapped, and you didn't burn any incense.
399
00:28:51,965 --> 00:28:54,365
Now, you must pay with your life for your ingratitude.
400
00:29:06,333 --> 00:29:07,133
Madam.
401
00:29:28,766 --> 00:29:29,466
That day...
402
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:37,200
That day, I almost killed my own child.
403
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,665
I thought that the evil fetus was burned to ashes.
404
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:43,699
How come it reappeared?
405
00:29:44,432 --> 00:29:45,365
I find it strange too.
406
00:29:46,965 --> 00:29:50,665
I believe that the evil fetus was crafted by Sage-like.
407
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:52,966
He must be involved in this.
408
00:29:54,032 --> 00:29:55,632
Could it be that he's still alive
409
00:29:56,266 --> 00:29:58,100
and that's why the evil fetus has returned?
410
00:29:59,532 --> 00:30:01,565
Sir, please tell me.
411
00:30:02,532 --> 00:30:03,532
Is Sage-like's body
412
00:30:05,365 --> 00:30:07,000
at the Midnight Inn?
413
00:30:15,532 --> 00:30:16,332
Master.
414
00:30:18,865 --> 00:30:19,865
Someone, please come!
415
00:30:20,465 --> 00:30:22,299
- Someone! - What's wrong?
416
00:30:23,432 --> 00:30:27,665
Sir, look. Sage-like's coffin has been opened.
417
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,665
Don't go.
418
00:30:42,066 --> 00:30:42,865
How come it's him?
419
00:30:43,965 --> 00:30:47,000
This old beggar was actually stealing from the dead.
420
00:30:51,333 --> 00:30:52,400
You miserable wretch.
421
00:30:52,965 --> 00:30:53,632
Of all people,
422
00:30:53,932 --> 00:30:54,932
you just had to steal from Sage-like?
423
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,133
It's like a starved ghost meeting the god of death.
424
00:30:57,266 --> 00:30:58,966
You're cursed with bad luck!
425
00:30:59,633 --> 00:31:00,466
Sage-like.
426
00:31:01,932 --> 00:31:02,732
Does this mean
427
00:31:03,365 --> 00:31:04,700
Sage-like isn't actually dead?
428
00:31:06,133 --> 00:31:06,966
Where's the body then?
429
00:31:07,365 --> 00:31:08,700
A dead person can't cross the sticky rice near the threshold,
430
00:31:09,965 --> 00:31:10,799
so he can't go anywhere.
431
00:31:11,566 --> 00:31:12,665
He's definitely still in the inn.
432
00:31:13,865 --> 00:31:14,665
Let's go look for him.
433
00:31:20,633 --> 00:31:21,133
Miss Gong,
434
00:31:22,465 --> 00:31:25,265
do you recall our first encounter?
435
00:31:27,232 --> 00:31:28,665
It was at Mrs. An's funeral.
436
00:31:33,865 --> 00:31:35,700
That year, the An Family invited us to perform a mourning opera.
437
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,000
Since the mistress died tragically,
438
00:31:38,932 --> 00:31:39,732
according to tradition,
439
00:31:40,066 --> 00:31:41,466
we had to perform
440
00:31:42,133 --> 00:31:43,466
for the dead on the first night
441
00:31:43,766 --> 00:31:44,833
to ward off evil and ensure peace.
442
00:31:45,965 --> 00:31:47,099
Back then, I wasn't famous yet,
443
00:31:47,665 --> 00:31:49,665
and I always played the role of the hanged ghost.
444
00:31:50,633 --> 00:31:52,833
Are you ready, Changwu?
445
00:31:53,532 --> 00:31:54,032
Yes, I am.
446
00:31:54,566 --> 00:31:55,566
Come quickly.
447
00:33:03,266 --> 00:33:05,066
Get up now and arrange the offerings properly.
448
00:33:14,633 --> 00:33:17,232
Back then, nobody dared to play a ghost
449
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:19,599
for fear of bad omens.
450
00:33:37,232 --> 00:33:38,032
Mr. Patriarch,
451
00:33:38,965 --> 00:33:40,665
when will I become a star?
452
00:34:06,465 --> 00:34:07,332
Why are you here?
453
00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:08,599
Who are you?
454
00:34:09,465 --> 00:34:10,965
This isn't for the living to eat,
455
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,532
and this play isn't for the living to watch.
456
00:34:12,565 --> 00:34:13,232
Hurry up and leave.
457
00:34:14,365 --> 00:34:15,666
I have nowhere to go.
458
00:34:15,932 --> 00:34:16,166
You...
459
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:17,465
Stop.
460
00:34:17,865 --> 00:34:20,400
Stop the performance.
461
00:34:22,965 --> 00:34:24,032
Have you seen a young girl?
462
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:25,865
A young girl?
463
00:34:26,632 --> 00:34:28,599
I haven't. Besides, no living person would have the guts
464
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:29,500
to watch this performance.
465
00:34:31,333 --> 00:34:33,633
Where did the young maid serving the mistress go?
466
00:34:34,266 --> 00:34:35,166
The mistress has passed away.
467
00:34:35,266 --> 00:34:37,932
Why is she running around instead of watching over her?
468
00:34:38,032 --> 00:34:38,532
What do you think?
469
00:34:39,365 --> 00:34:40,166
Sage-like, the fortune-teller,
470
00:34:40,166 --> 00:34:41,533
said that the mistress died with unresolved grievances,
471
00:34:41,833 --> 00:34:43,066
so they picked a maid to accompany her in death.
472
00:34:43,432 --> 00:34:44,733
Her brother agreed to get money for his bride price.
473
00:34:47,266 --> 00:34:48,166
Go check in the back.
474
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:49,465
All right, let's go.
475
00:34:51,333 --> 00:34:52,032
Don't stop.
476
00:34:52,166 --> 00:34:53,200
Hurry and continue.
477
00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:09,665
Come with me.
478
00:35:16,032 --> 00:35:17,865
Go hide in here and stay quiet.
479
00:35:18,532 --> 00:35:19,333
You go over there.
480
00:35:19,432 --> 00:35:20,233
Okay.
481
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:21,932
If you dare to hide her,
482
00:35:22,065 --> 00:35:23,665
your troupe won't be able to perform ever again.
483
00:35:24,666 --> 00:35:26,100
Don't worry. If anyone dares to hide her,
484
00:35:26,132 --> 00:35:27,232
I'll break their legs
485
00:35:27,365 --> 00:35:29,000
so they can't perform for the rest of their life.
486
00:35:32,766 --> 00:35:33,465
What's inside this?
487
00:35:34,365 --> 00:35:35,365
The statue of the Opera God.
488
00:35:35,666 --> 00:35:36,100
Open it.
489
00:35:37,666 --> 00:35:38,600
The sacred box cannot be opened.
490
00:35:41,532 --> 00:35:43,266
It really cannot be opened.
491
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:44,500
You might not know this.
492
00:35:44,766 --> 00:35:46,066
During the performance for the dead,
493
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:48,299
the sacred box backstage protects the troupe.
494
00:35:48,833 --> 00:35:51,066
Therefore, it must never be opened.
495
00:35:51,932 --> 00:35:54,199
If the box is opened, it will invite all sorts of calamities
496
00:35:54,333 --> 00:35:56,365
and cause trouble on stage.
497
00:35:56,365 --> 00:35:57,266
Exactly.
498
00:35:58,865 --> 00:36:01,166
Please be lenient.
499
00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:04,766
This box is dedicated to our ancestors,
500
00:36:04,766 --> 00:36:06,633
and we certainly can't afford to offend them.
501
00:36:06,632 --> 00:36:07,432
That's right.
502
00:36:08,432 --> 00:36:09,333
Who are you trying to scare here?
503
00:36:10,032 --> 00:36:11,032
I knew you wouldn't dare.
504
00:36:11,032 --> 00:36:12,333
Indeed.
505
00:36:12,599 --> 00:36:13,432
Know your place.
506
00:36:13,733 --> 00:36:14,633
Yes.
507
00:36:19,166 --> 00:36:20,466
Who do you think you are?
508
00:36:20,766 --> 00:36:22,666
You are just after the money.
509
00:36:25,032 --> 00:36:26,732
Hurry up and set up these offerings.
510
00:36:27,065 --> 00:36:28,099
Be careful not to anger our ancestors.
511
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:39,833
Come out now.
512
00:36:45,132 --> 00:36:47,265
Hide out here for a few days.
513
00:36:48,266 --> 00:36:50,266
I'll take you out once we finish the performance.
514
00:36:50,965 --> 00:36:51,900
Thank you, Sir.
515
00:36:52,565 --> 00:36:54,265
I don't even know your name yet.
516
00:36:54,565 --> 00:36:55,565
You can just call me Changwu.
517
00:36:56,132 --> 00:36:56,832
What's your name?
518
00:36:57,166 --> 00:36:57,833
I'm Xianglan.
519
00:37:14,932 --> 00:37:16,000
What a shame.
520
00:37:16,233 --> 00:37:17,966
Not really.
521
00:37:18,233 --> 00:37:19,533
I don't deserve to have those proper costumes.
522
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,233
Changwu, I saw it just now.
523
00:37:24,032 --> 00:37:25,132
Your performance was excellent.
524
00:37:25,199 --> 00:37:27,699
No matter how well I perform, I'll only get to play the hanged ghost.
525
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,333
You will surely get other roles other than the hanged ghost.
526
00:37:51,166 --> 00:37:52,432
Be careful, all of you.
527
00:37:53,932 --> 00:37:55,465
I'm sorry.
528
00:37:55,865 --> 00:37:58,132
- It's all right. - Sorry.
529
00:38:00,365 --> 00:38:02,199
- Bravo! - Bravo!
530
00:38:02,666 --> 00:38:04,200
It's so hard to find that brat.
531
00:38:04,565 --> 00:38:05,765
Even so, we still need to find her.
532
00:38:05,932 --> 00:38:06,666
Young Master told us
533
00:38:06,766 --> 00:38:08,300
to find her no matter the cost.
534
00:38:08,733 --> 00:38:12,566
- Bravo! - Bravo!
535
00:38:18,166 --> 00:38:21,300
Xianglan.
536
00:38:27,233 --> 00:38:27,900
Xiang…
537
00:38:28,666 --> 00:38:29,466
Changwu.
538
00:38:30,132 --> 00:38:31,032
Jiang Changwu!
539
00:38:31,733 --> 00:38:32,466
Coming.
540
00:38:35,565 --> 00:38:37,065
Mr. Ma, one more time, please.
541
00:38:38,465 --> 00:38:40,299
An encore, please, Mr. Ma.
542
00:38:43,932 --> 00:38:47,632
Sir.
543
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,865
What is it?
544
00:38:51,166 --> 00:38:52,365
When can I get on stage?
545
00:38:55,365 --> 00:38:58,400
How can you go on stage when your wig's all burned up?
546
00:39:00,166 --> 00:39:03,233
- Bravo! - Bravo!
547
00:39:18,365 --> 00:39:22,233
Changwu, I'm the one performing today.
548
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,500
You have no right to take this, don't you think?
549
00:39:42,766 --> 00:39:43,833
Changwu,
550
00:39:44,733 --> 00:39:47,932
I was just joking with you. Take it.
551
00:39:52,932 --> 00:39:55,400
I heard that you are extremely good at doing somersaults.
552
00:39:56,333 --> 00:39:57,333
Sir.
553
00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:01,699
It seems a good opportunity today. Shall we give him a chance?
554
00:40:03,199 --> 00:40:05,799
Okay then. Since Mr. Ma has made the request,
555
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:08,332
we'll give him a chance today.
556
00:40:10,965 --> 00:40:12,632
Changwu,
557
00:40:12,865 --> 00:40:14,333
hurry and thank Mr. Ma now.
558
00:40:15,365 --> 00:40:16,199
Thank you, Mr. Ma.
559
00:40:17,833 --> 00:40:19,099
- Bravo! - Bravo!
560
00:40:21,733 --> 00:40:25,365
- Bravo! - Bravo!
561
00:40:28,532 --> 00:40:30,833
You two are really getting fancy, huh?
562
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,865
He's not so good after all.
563
00:40:45,166 --> 00:40:46,566
Let's go.
564
00:40:51,432 --> 00:40:52,266
Stop.
565
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:54,833
You've failed my expectations and embarrassed me.
566
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,532
You incapable fool.
567
00:40:56,965 --> 00:40:57,865
And you are dreaming of becoming a star?
568
00:40:58,666 --> 00:41:00,200
What a joke.
569
00:41:04,065 --> 00:41:05,065
Changwu.
570
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:09,333
When did you come out?
571
00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:10,833
Are you not afraid that they might see you?
572
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:12,400
Changwu,
573
00:41:12,932 --> 00:41:14,833
I saw it just now. It wasn't your fault.
574
00:41:16,666 --> 00:41:18,133
Your somersaults were so good.
575
00:41:18,733 --> 00:41:20,233
You are bound for stardom one day.
576
00:41:21,132 --> 00:41:22,332
No need to comfort me.
577
00:41:23,199 --> 00:41:24,065
This is my fate.
578
00:41:27,032 --> 00:41:27,865
Changwu,
579
00:41:29,032 --> 00:41:30,232
this is for you.
580
00:41:36,266 --> 00:41:37,166
You are quite skilled.
581
00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:39,632
My mother used to make this for me.
582
00:41:40,666 --> 00:41:44,800
When I was little, she enrolled me in an opera troupe for training
583
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,300
I was only five.
584
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,099
We barely had anything to eat at the time.
585
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,133
My mother was bullied a lot by those jerks from the troupe
586
00:41:52,233 --> 00:41:55,233
to get me the chance to learn how to perform the opera.
587
00:41:55,965 --> 00:41:57,465
I've made an oath since then.
588
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:58,600
I must try hard
589
00:41:58,666 --> 00:41:59,500
to become a star
590
00:41:59,532 --> 00:42:00,565
and make it big.
591
00:42:04,465 --> 00:42:05,665
Now I've only got myself to blame.
592
00:42:16,199 --> 00:42:17,065
What did you use to fix it?
593
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:22,065
It's fine. My hair's quite long.
594
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,833
But you must promise
595
00:42:26,666 --> 00:42:29,466
that you won't damage it
596
00:42:30,132 --> 00:42:31,165
or give it to others.
597
00:42:31,532 --> 00:42:32,565
Also,
598
00:42:33,132 --> 00:42:34,199
you must give it back
599
00:42:34,733 --> 00:42:36,166
if you no longer need it.
600
00:42:37,266 --> 00:42:38,066
I promise.
601
00:42:39,065 --> 00:42:40,165
I will definitely treasure it.
602
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,733
I'll be doomed if I don't keep the promise.
603
00:42:43,965 --> 00:42:44,865
Sir,
604
00:42:51,666 --> 00:42:54,133
Miss An wants to see Mr. Ma playing the hanged ghost.
605
00:42:58,365 --> 00:43:00,766
Is it still okay to ask you to play the hanged ghost,
606
00:43:02,266 --> 00:43:03,666
Mr. Ma?
607
00:43:05,233 --> 00:43:06,966
Since Miss An wants to see it,
608
00:43:09,266 --> 00:43:11,099
I shall do my best.
609
00:43:23,532 --> 00:43:25,032
- Bravo! - Bravo!
610
00:43:32,565 --> 00:43:36,765
- Bravo! - Bravo!
611
00:43:45,465 --> 00:43:46,766
As expected of Ma Shuncheng.
612
00:43:55,833 --> 00:43:58,733
Sir, it doesn't seem right.
613
00:43:59,233 --> 00:44:01,666
No one would play the hanged ghost like that.
614
00:44:02,065 --> 00:44:03,065
What do you know?
615
00:44:03,733 --> 00:44:05,932
This is what we call skills.
616
00:44:17,833 --> 00:44:19,833
He's dead!
617
00:44:26,065 --> 00:44:27,465
My goodness.
618
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:31,500
Did any of you mess with the sacred box?
619
00:44:33,333 --> 00:44:35,233
What are we going to do about this, Sir?
620
00:44:35,733 --> 00:44:37,932
Sir. Something bad has happened.
621
00:44:39,199 --> 00:44:40,932
Young Master An died last night.
622
00:44:42,432 --> 00:44:44,300
This is such bad luck.
623
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:46,666
How are we supposed to perform
624
00:44:46,865 --> 00:44:48,365
the funeral opera now?
625
00:44:49,766 --> 00:44:52,032
Keep performing
626
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,100
and you must perform well.
627
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,100
Mr. Sage, you are finally here.
628
00:44:59,865 --> 00:45:01,300
Something evil appeared here yesterday.
629
00:45:01,865 --> 00:45:02,733
Please help us take a look.
630
00:45:07,666 --> 00:45:08,733
Sage-like is here.
631
00:45:30,465 --> 00:45:31,565
On the day you started your performance,
632
00:45:34,766 --> 00:45:36,099
something evil appeared
633
00:45:39,632 --> 00:45:40,965
and someone was haunted by it.
634
00:45:42,465 --> 00:45:43,333
I knew it.
635
00:45:45,132 --> 00:45:46,799
This is such a mess.
636
00:45:51,666 --> 00:45:52,533
Mr. Sage,
637
00:45:52,865 --> 00:45:53,766
please help us check
638
00:45:54,032 --> 00:45:55,932
what kind of trouble we are we faced with?
639
00:45:57,565 --> 00:45:58,432
It's a vengeful ghost.
640
00:45:59,199 --> 00:46:01,332
A vengeful ghost? What should we do know?
641
00:46:01,666 --> 00:46:02,766
What do we do?
642
00:46:05,632 --> 00:46:06,332
It will show up
643
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:08,932
tonight as well.
644
00:46:09,932 --> 00:46:11,199
Mr. Sage,
645
00:46:11,565 --> 00:46:12,665
please help us
646
00:46:13,065 --> 00:46:14,865
think of a solution.
647
00:46:15,365 --> 00:46:16,666
Yes, Sage-like, please help.
648
00:46:16,932 --> 00:46:18,233
This evil being likes opera.
649
00:46:19,032 --> 00:46:21,365
So just perform another opera tonight.
650
00:46:25,166 --> 00:46:26,200
Let him do it.
651
00:46:32,932 --> 00:46:35,365
Mr. Sage, you have keen eyes.
652
00:46:35,666 --> 00:46:38,300
He usually plays the hanged ghost in the troupe.
653
00:46:38,565 --> 00:46:39,299
No.
654
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:41,833
Let him play the divine warrior
655
00:46:43,733 --> 00:46:45,066
and slay the ghost with the blade.
656
00:46:54,032 --> 00:46:55,365
Stay focused, all of you.
657
00:47:00,166 --> 00:47:00,865
Changwu.
658
00:47:01,932 --> 00:47:02,733
Move!
659
00:47:03,166 --> 00:47:05,300
I don't want to be buried with the mistress.
660
00:47:06,166 --> 00:47:06,833
Stop struggling.
661
00:47:07,333 --> 00:47:08,532
What's going on here?
662
00:47:08,833 --> 00:47:09,700
What's the matter?
663
00:47:10,565 --> 00:47:12,599
This is the young girl we were trying to find the other day.
664
00:47:12,965 --> 00:47:15,465
It turns out she was hiding in the haystack in the barn all along.
665
00:47:16,733 --> 00:47:18,266
You are quite wily, aren't you?
666
00:47:18,465 --> 00:47:19,699
Luckily, Sage-like figured it out.
667
00:47:20,132 --> 00:47:21,599
Or else, we won't make it to the burial.
668
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,266
So this is the young maid you were looking for?
669
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,233
Of course. Or do you want to replace her?
670
00:47:26,865 --> 00:47:27,800
Are there any other maids?
671
00:47:28,166 --> 00:47:28,966
There's only one maid.
672
00:47:29,233 --> 00:47:30,900
If you want, you two could make a pair.
673
00:47:33,132 --> 00:47:33,932
Then,
674
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:36,133
who is Xianglan?
675
00:47:44,632 --> 00:47:46,732
There was a girl named Xianglan who lived on the main street
676
00:47:47,266 --> 00:47:48,099
and loved watching operas.
677
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,633
She went out one time to see an opera and never came back.
678
00:47:51,166 --> 00:47:53,432
Her body was found in a water tank.
679
00:47:53,532 --> 00:47:54,365
Her death was quite peculiar.
680
00:47:54,965 --> 00:47:56,766
She probably fell victim to a human trafficker's trap.
681
00:47:58,065 --> 00:48:00,665
Why does Sage-like want to let Jiang Changwu
682
00:48:00,666 --> 00:48:03,100
play the divine warrior to subdue the ghost?
683
00:48:03,432 --> 00:48:04,465
Don't you know?
684
00:48:05,432 --> 00:48:06,465
Sage-like said
685
00:48:07,333 --> 00:48:11,066
that the female ghost's target is Jiang Changwu.
686
00:48:31,032 --> 00:48:32,365
Changwu.
687
00:48:38,599 --> 00:48:41,333
- Slash her. - Do it now, Changwu.
688
00:48:43,833 --> 00:48:45,500
We will make you a star.
689
00:48:46,365 --> 00:48:47,233
You must give it back
690
00:48:47,965 --> 00:48:49,299
if you no longer need it.
691
00:48:50,565 --> 00:48:51,599
- Slash her. - Do it now!
692
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:55,833
- Slash her. - Changwu!
693
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,733
- Slash her. - You must give it back.
694
00:49:02,065 --> 00:49:03,532
We will make you a star.
695
00:49:04,766 --> 00:49:06,400
- Slash her! - Do it now!
696
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,666
Changwu.
697
00:49:39,666 --> 00:49:40,566
Blood!
698
00:49:41,766 --> 00:49:43,365
What's going on?
699
00:49:43,733 --> 00:49:44,533
What's happening?
700
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,033
There really is something evil.
701
00:49:52,432 --> 00:49:55,099
I need to take this broken hair and burn it
702
00:49:57,166 --> 00:49:59,100
to make sure it turns to ashes.
703
00:50:24,233 --> 00:50:25,932
[Binjiang News: Sage-like,]
704
00:50:25,965 --> 00:50:28,965
[the Human Trafficker and Wicked Fortune-Teller Is Executed]
705
00:50:29,565 --> 00:50:31,799
Later, I finally became a lead actor,
706
00:50:32,432 --> 00:50:33,532
but then I saw in the newspaper
707
00:50:33,733 --> 00:50:35,666
that Sage-like had been shot.
708
00:50:37,565 --> 00:50:38,765
Years went by,
709
00:50:39,666 --> 00:50:42,666
and I thought that was the end of it.
710
00:50:43,833 --> 00:50:44,865
Until today...
711
00:50:45,532 --> 00:50:49,932
- Bravo! - Bravo!
712
00:50:54,766 --> 00:50:57,432
Mr. Jiang, thanks for your hard work today.
713
00:50:57,565 --> 00:51:00,465
I've made a bowl of soup to soothe your throat.
714
00:51:01,599 --> 00:51:04,665
We're counting on you to support our little troupe.
715
00:51:05,333 --> 00:51:06,000
Also,
716
00:51:06,766 --> 00:51:07,666
there's a box here
717
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,466
that's specifically for you.
718
00:52:20,032 --> 00:52:21,632
Changwu.
719
00:52:29,166 --> 00:52:30,600
I don't see anything.
720
00:52:31,065 --> 00:52:31,932
I know
721
00:52:32,833 --> 00:52:34,266
that even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
722
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,199
What's that awful smell?
723
00:52:51,632 --> 00:52:53,299
Is this the hair of that ghost Xianglan?
724
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,600
I thought Sage-like had already burned it?
725
00:52:55,965 --> 00:52:56,965
I am just as confused,
726
00:52:58,766 --> 00:53:02,099
so I came to the Midnight Inn looking for Sage-like.
727
00:53:02,733 --> 00:53:03,432
So,
728
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:06,233
you're saying Sage-like really isn't dead?
729
00:53:07,599 --> 00:53:10,400
After all, neither of us actually saw him
730
00:53:11,199 --> 00:53:12,865
get executed back then.
731
00:53:14,266 --> 00:53:14,965
Mrs. An,
732
00:53:15,733 --> 00:53:16,766
it sounds like you and him
733
00:53:17,766 --> 00:53:19,865
are quite acquainted from the way you're talking.
734
00:53:24,266 --> 00:53:25,932
I wouldn't say we're well-acquainted,
735
00:53:28,666 --> 00:53:30,166
but I often hear Miss An
736
00:53:31,233 --> 00:53:32,466
mention Mr. Jiang.
737
00:53:35,032 --> 00:53:36,065
Miss An?
738
00:53:36,465 --> 00:53:37,766
Sage-like has died long ago.
739
00:53:38,065 --> 00:53:39,000
What makes you so sure?
740
00:53:39,432 --> 00:53:40,865
I was the one who retrieved his body back then.
741
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,266
The old innkeeper had some ties with Sage-like.
742
00:53:50,333 --> 00:53:51,432
I was just a kid
743
00:53:52,233 --> 00:53:54,865
when we brought the body back.
744
00:53:55,166 --> 00:53:56,400
It's been kept in this inn ever since.
745
00:53:58,632 --> 00:53:59,699
Fascinating.
746
00:54:02,666 --> 00:54:04,365
A rich and powerful lady
747
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,200
and a famous Peking opera star
748
00:54:08,065 --> 00:54:09,132
are visiting this desolate place
749
00:54:09,733 --> 00:54:13,266
in the middle of the night to find a deceased person.
750
00:54:28,666 --> 00:54:29,500
Stay here.
751
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:30,699
Don't come any closer.
752
00:54:31,432 --> 00:54:33,065
Even if you turn into a ghost, I'm not afraid of you.
753
00:54:33,333 --> 00:54:34,266
You were meant to die anyway.
754
00:54:34,932 --> 00:54:36,465
You were meant to die anyway!
755
00:54:37,766 --> 00:54:40,066
Your daughter's death has nothing to do with me.
756
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:42,199
It has nothing to do with me!
757
00:54:42,733 --> 00:54:43,533
You both
758
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,733
have told such captivating stories.
759
00:54:49,565 --> 00:54:50,799
Since you're here,
760
00:54:51,733 --> 00:54:53,365
let me share my own story as well.
761
00:54:55,432 --> 00:54:56,365
It's far more terrifying
762
00:54:58,132 --> 00:55:00,199
than yours.
763
00:55:01,099 --> 00:55:02,599
[Sage-like's fortune-telling stall]
764
00:55:02,599 --> 00:55:03,932
Freshly cooked buns.
765
00:55:07,965 --> 00:55:08,565
This one.
766
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:11,800
This one, then.
767
00:55:12,333 --> 00:55:13,166
An egg.
768
00:55:13,666 --> 00:55:14,600
One egg a day,
769
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,099
keeps the illness at bay.
770
00:55:16,932 --> 00:55:17,865
I've got an egg.
771
00:55:18,199 --> 00:55:19,699
Father, you are being biased.
772
00:55:20,166 --> 00:55:20,800
Where's my egg?
773
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:22,500
Father.
774
00:55:24,266 --> 00:55:25,465
Mr. Sage-like.
775
00:55:27,132 --> 00:55:29,065
I'm Liu Er, the butler of the An Family.
776
00:55:29,565 --> 00:55:32,232
My master would like you to come by the residence
777
00:55:32,233 --> 00:55:33,533
for an important matter.
778
00:55:34,333 --> 00:55:35,932
We'll count on you.
779
00:55:36,833 --> 00:55:37,633
A sparrow.
780
00:55:38,733 --> 00:55:39,533
You keep playing.
781
00:55:40,833 --> 00:55:42,633
Father, is he your new customer?
782
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,200
The mistress of the An Family passed away.
783
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,632
They want me to go and arrange a date for her burial.
784
00:55:48,532 --> 00:55:49,532
The An Family?
785
00:55:49,932 --> 00:55:51,766
Father, considering how rich the An Family is,
786
00:55:52,166 --> 00:55:54,033
they must have hired an opera troupe for the funeral, right?
787
00:55:54,166 --> 00:55:55,100
Even if there is a performance, you can't go.
788
00:55:55,599 --> 00:55:56,900
I'm busy with important things,
789
00:55:57,199 --> 00:55:58,732
and it's inappropriate to bring you with me.
790
00:55:58,965 --> 00:56:01,565
Father, please take us with you.
791
00:56:02,032 --> 00:56:03,565
There's no business lately anyway.
792
00:56:03,733 --> 00:56:05,666
Besides, it'll be so crowded
793
00:56:05,965 --> 00:56:07,699
that no one will notice if we slip in.
794
00:56:07,932 --> 00:56:09,032
Can we go?
795
00:56:09,199 --> 00:56:10,000
Right, Xiangyu?
796
00:56:11,666 --> 00:56:13,066
There's an opera performance. Do you want to go?
797
00:56:13,599 --> 00:56:17,732
- Father, please take us with you. - Please.
798
00:56:18,932 --> 00:56:20,233
All right then.
799
00:56:21,266 --> 00:56:22,800
You will have to keep an eye on your brother.
800
00:56:23,365 --> 00:56:23,965
Stop!
801
00:56:25,599 --> 00:56:27,432
Stop running!
802
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:29,733
Make way!
803
00:56:30,065 --> 00:56:31,465
- Stop! - Stop!
804
00:56:33,565 --> 00:56:34,432
I dare you to run away again.
805
00:56:35,132 --> 00:56:36,332
Get up.
806
00:56:37,733 --> 00:56:39,233
- Take him away. - Move!
807
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:44,799
Mrs. An was born during a time of day with heavy yin energy
808
00:56:45,365 --> 00:56:46,365
and she was pregnant,
809
00:56:46,965 --> 00:56:48,000
making her yin energy even more intense.
810
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:49,766
Tomorrow, people born in the Year of the Rooster
811
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:50,400
should avoid heading west.
812
00:56:50,532 --> 00:56:51,400
The Azure Dragon will emerge,
813
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:52,799
providing strong yang energy.
814
00:56:54,199 --> 00:56:56,500
Hence, the most suitable time for the burial is tomorrow.
815
00:56:56,733 --> 00:56:57,932
Master, we have a guest.
816
00:56:59,266 --> 00:56:59,900
Coming.
817
00:57:00,432 --> 00:57:01,032
Father.
818
00:57:02,932 --> 00:57:05,400
Father, let's go watch the opera together.
819
00:57:05,965 --> 00:57:07,299
I've got other things to attend to.
820
00:57:07,632 --> 00:57:08,432
Qiao.
821
00:57:09,032 --> 00:57:09,865
Please make way.
822
00:57:14,733 --> 00:57:16,333
Qiao, it really is you.
823
00:57:17,065 --> 00:57:18,065
Are you blind or something?
824
00:57:18,166 --> 00:57:20,365
I didn't expect to see you here, Qiao.
825
00:57:20,565 --> 00:57:22,065
It's been so long since I last saw you.
826
00:57:22,532 --> 00:57:23,932
Yes, it's been years.
827
00:57:24,766 --> 00:57:25,465
This is...
828
00:57:26,365 --> 00:57:27,199
She's my daughter.
829
00:57:27,432 --> 00:57:28,365
This is Uncle Qiao.
830
00:57:29,333 --> 00:57:31,532
Back then, we encountered some bandits at the inn.
831
00:57:32,065 --> 00:57:34,099
It was your Uncle Qiao who saved me.
832
00:57:34,565 --> 00:57:36,232
Just some old story. No need to bring it up.
833
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,333
This is my daughter, Xianglan, and my son, Xiangyu.
834
00:57:40,365 --> 00:57:42,599
Why are you two only arriving now?
835
00:57:42,865 --> 00:57:44,099
Have you got all the clothes with you?
836
00:57:44,333 --> 00:57:45,333
We have.
837
00:57:46,132 --> 00:57:47,432
Hurry and come with me.
838
00:57:47,632 --> 00:57:48,732
- Let's go. - Excuse us.
839
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,800
- Hurry up. - Qiao.
840
00:57:51,132 --> 00:57:53,465
Come to my place for a drink next time.
841
00:57:53,632 --> 00:57:54,065
Okay.
842
00:57:55,532 --> 00:57:57,232
A rich lady remains a rich lady,
843
00:57:58,065 --> 00:57:59,500
adorned even in death with gold and gems.
844
00:58:03,233 --> 00:58:04,133
Just look at this jade piece.
845
00:58:04,565 --> 00:58:05,699
How much do you think it's worth?
846
00:58:07,199 --> 00:58:09,000
She was born into immense wealth.
847
00:58:10,032 --> 00:58:11,699
How can we compare with her?
848
00:58:13,065 --> 00:58:14,332
However,
849
00:58:15,065 --> 00:58:16,500
people's fates are predetermined.
850
00:58:16,733 --> 00:58:18,533
However rich she was,
851
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,800
she's lying here now.
852
00:58:21,532 --> 00:58:22,565
I refuse to believe in fate.
853
00:58:23,565 --> 00:58:25,000
Why was I born poor
854
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,233
with a gambling addict for a father?
855
00:58:27,632 --> 00:58:29,365
I was trying to help cure your mother.
856
00:58:30,032 --> 00:58:31,266
What other options do I have?
857
00:58:31,766 --> 00:58:32,865
But she wasn't cured in the end.
858
00:58:33,233 --> 00:58:34,500
Instead, it left us with a huge debt.
859
00:59:02,632 --> 00:59:05,299
- Bravo! - Bravo!
860
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:13,733
- Bravo! - Bravo!
861
00:59:22,032 --> 00:59:23,500
Have you seen a boy who's about this tall?
862
00:59:23,532 --> 00:59:24,132
I haven't.
863
00:59:46,166 --> 00:59:47,566
Xianglan, what are you looking at?
864
00:59:47,766 --> 00:59:49,432
What are you doing? Where did you go?
865
00:59:50,333 --> 00:59:51,566
I didn't go anywhere.
866
00:59:52,233 --> 00:59:54,166
Father said that you shouldn't wonder about. Come.
867
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:55,266
I'm a big boy now.
868
00:59:55,599 --> 00:59:56,665
I won't get lost.
869
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,000
Come and watch the opera with me.
870
00:59:59,666 --> 01:00:00,266
Come now.
871
01:00:01,365 --> 01:00:02,000
Look.
872
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,500
Sit here.
873
01:00:07,365 --> 01:00:08,400
- Bravo! - Bravo!
874
01:00:11,965 --> 01:00:13,000
- Bravo! - Bravo!
875
01:00:16,266 --> 01:00:18,532
- Bravo! - Bravo!
876
01:00:20,766 --> 01:00:22,266
That's Sage-like's daughter.
877
01:00:26,833 --> 01:00:28,166
You have to give me 500 silver coins in three days.
878
01:00:28,432 --> 01:00:29,099
If you can't pay up,
879
01:00:29,733 --> 01:00:31,566
your daughter will be mine.
880
01:00:39,065 --> 01:00:40,665
He's not so good after all.
881
01:00:44,833 --> 01:00:46,365
Wait for me here. Don't wander off again.
882
01:01:02,333 --> 01:01:04,965
Actually, I think your performance was great.
883
01:01:05,666 --> 01:01:07,066
It's better than the other ones I saw before.
884
01:01:08,266 --> 01:01:09,700
You are bound for stardom one day.
885
01:01:13,365 --> 01:01:14,599
No need to comfort me.
886
01:01:15,465 --> 01:01:16,865
Our troupe leader is right.
887
01:01:17,865 --> 01:01:18,733
I
888
01:01:19,599 --> 01:01:20,900
am just so incapable
889
01:01:21,766 --> 01:01:23,000
and I'll never succeed.
890
01:01:24,166 --> 01:01:25,233
So what?
891
01:01:26,132 --> 01:01:27,099
People who start incapable
892
01:01:27,099 --> 01:01:28,500
could also achieve something great in the future.
893
01:01:38,465 --> 01:01:41,099
Trust me. You will make it big in the future.
894
01:01:50,199 --> 01:01:51,399
What's your name?
895
01:01:52,965 --> 01:01:53,865
Xianglan.
896
01:01:54,565 --> 01:01:55,299
And your name is?
897
01:01:56,432 --> 01:01:57,365
I'm Jiang Changwu.
898
01:01:59,233 --> 01:02:00,365
I'll remember that.
899
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:17,800
Get in there.
900
01:02:19,965 --> 01:02:21,032
Let me out.
901
01:02:21,565 --> 01:02:22,665
Let me out.
902
01:02:30,766 --> 01:02:31,633
You are Xianglan, right?
903
01:02:32,733 --> 01:02:33,600
Where's my brother?
904
01:02:35,166 --> 01:02:36,900
Don't worry. Someone's looking after him.
905
01:02:38,532 --> 01:02:39,599
Since you are here,
906
01:02:40,432 --> 01:02:41,233
join me for a drink.
907
01:02:42,065 --> 01:02:42,665
Come.
908
01:02:43,132 --> 01:02:44,132
What's the meaning of this?
909
01:02:45,465 --> 01:02:46,065
Come.
910
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:50,666
Do you like them?
911
01:02:51,766 --> 01:02:52,599
I don't need these.
912
01:02:55,132 --> 01:02:56,432
No. I have to go home.
913
01:02:58,833 --> 01:02:59,500
Let go!
914
01:03:01,365 --> 01:03:02,166
Let go of me.
915
01:03:04,565 --> 01:03:05,699
You better know your place.
916
01:03:06,199 --> 01:03:07,865
Do you know how many women are trying to sleep with me?
917
01:03:07,965 --> 01:03:08,900
Yet, I won't even take a look at them.
918
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:13,600
Don't come any closer.
919
01:03:18,465 --> 01:03:19,333
Come over here.
920
01:03:20,932 --> 01:03:22,166
Let go of me.
921
01:03:22,532 --> 01:03:23,365
Let go of me.
922
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:27,266
Let go of me!
923
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:50,500
You darned girl, you sure know how to hide.
924
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,432
You two, go to the back yard. And you two, go to the front yard.
925
01:03:52,666 --> 01:03:54,133
- Yes! - Make sure to find her.
926
01:03:55,166 --> 01:03:55,700
Over there.
927
01:03:55,865 --> 01:03:57,199
Hey, what's the matter?
928
01:03:57,233 --> 01:03:58,365
A young girl stabbed Young Master to death.
929
01:03:58,465 --> 01:03:59,699
Leave now since you aren't involved.
930
01:04:03,333 --> 01:04:04,066
Let's go.
931
01:04:11,565 --> 01:04:13,265
Have you seen a girl in a red waistcoat?
932
01:04:13,632 --> 01:04:14,332
I haven't.
933
01:04:15,166 --> 01:04:15,865
Really?
934
01:04:16,632 --> 01:04:17,532
Really.
935
01:04:19,599 --> 01:04:20,665
- Keep searching. - Okay.
936
01:04:25,065 --> 01:04:26,299
Why are they trying to catch you?
937
01:04:27,766 --> 01:04:28,599
Don't be scared.
938
01:04:29,365 --> 01:04:32,032
If you have nowhere else to go, you can hide here for now.
939
01:04:32,733 --> 01:04:34,166
After we finish performing in three days,
940
01:04:34,965 --> 01:04:36,165
I'll help you leave.
941
01:04:42,132 --> 01:04:42,932
Father.
942
01:04:43,333 --> 01:04:45,266
[Two months later] Please let me marry Changwu.
943
01:04:47,733 --> 01:04:48,533
No.
944
01:04:48,965 --> 01:04:49,900
I won't agree with that.
945
01:04:50,865 --> 01:04:51,666
Father.
946
01:05:15,465 --> 01:05:16,266
Father.
947
01:05:18,199 --> 01:05:19,832
I know you're looking out for me,
948
01:05:22,532 --> 01:05:24,732
but I'm already with Changwu,
949
01:05:30,432 --> 01:05:31,233
and
950
01:05:34,932 --> 01:05:36,800
I'm pregnant with his baby.
951
01:05:49,465 --> 01:05:49,932
Xianglan.
952
01:05:50,932 --> 01:05:51,932
Come here.
953
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,833
Xianglan, what happened to your hair?
954
01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:06,932
I cut it to fix Changwu's wig.
955
01:06:08,266 --> 01:06:09,133
Xianglan,
956
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,333
are you about to leave?
957
01:06:21,565 --> 01:06:23,965
Swear before the ancestors of the Qiao Family.
958
01:06:26,065 --> 01:06:26,865
First,
959
01:06:27,132 --> 01:06:29,365
you must not get involved with other women.
960
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:31,800
Second,
961
01:06:32,465 --> 01:06:34,266
you must not harm her in any way.
962
01:06:35,199 --> 01:06:35,932
Third,
963
01:06:39,333 --> 01:06:40,833
if things don't work out between you two,
964
01:06:43,065 --> 01:06:44,000
don't mistreat her
965
01:06:50,599 --> 01:06:51,400
and return her to us.
966
01:06:57,766 --> 01:06:58,700
Take care of our father.
967
01:06:59,132 --> 01:06:59,932
Okay?
968
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,000
Xianglan.
969
01:07:16,733 --> 01:07:17,566
I'll leave now.
970
01:07:33,199 --> 01:07:35,932
Xianglan.
971
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,200
Xianglan.
972
01:07:48,599 --> 01:07:52,132
Xianglan.
973
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:55,833
Soon after,
974
01:07:56,266 --> 01:07:57,532
the police chased us here,
975
01:07:58,132 --> 01:08:00,199
and my father and I had to constantly move and hide.
976
01:08:00,199 --> 01:08:07,265
[Gong's Undertaking Shop]
977
01:08:12,365 --> 01:08:13,099
Gong.
978
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:15,500
Come in.
979
01:08:18,832 --> 01:08:20,332
Dig in. Make yourself at home.
980
01:08:24,332 --> 01:08:25,732
We were completely out of options.
981
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,500
Otherwise, we wouldn't have troubled you.
982
01:08:29,765 --> 01:08:31,299
That's no trouble at all.
983
01:08:32,365 --> 01:08:33,632
You and I
984
01:08:34,666 --> 01:08:36,565
go way back.
985
01:08:37,233 --> 01:08:39,432
Just make yourselves comfortable here,
986
01:08:40,132 --> 01:08:42,599
and I'll find you a place in a few days.
987
01:08:45,233 --> 01:08:45,865
Qing.
988
01:08:47,966 --> 01:08:48,566
Qing.
989
01:08:49,865 --> 01:08:52,500
Tomorrow morning, go to the market and buy some good food.
990
01:08:52,932 --> 01:08:55,265
I want to welcome your Uncle Qiao.
991
01:08:57,132 --> 01:08:59,032
Let's catch up properly.
992
01:08:59,666 --> 01:09:00,266
Here.
993
01:09:00,265 --> 01:09:06,732
[Wanted. Generous reward for information]
994
01:09:14,432 --> 01:09:15,565
Make way.
995
01:09:19,432 --> 01:09:20,233
Move aside.
996
01:09:22,432 --> 01:09:24,033
- Go away. - Gong.
997
01:10:01,132 --> 01:10:02,199
Changwu.
998
01:10:03,966 --> 01:10:05,233
you are the only family
999
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,533
I have left.
1000
01:10:10,199 --> 01:10:11,000
Mr. Jiang.
1001
01:10:39,365 --> 01:10:40,565
- Qingnian. - Madam.
1002
01:10:42,466 --> 01:10:43,566
Where's Changwu?
1003
01:10:43,865 --> 01:10:44,466
He...
1004
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,033
I guess he's already left.
1005
01:10:49,033 --> 01:10:50,466
If there's nothing else,
1006
01:10:50,565 --> 01:10:51,800
I'll leave too.
1007
01:11:06,332 --> 01:11:07,599
About what I told you,
1008
01:11:07,932 --> 01:11:09,033
how's it going?
1009
01:11:10,765 --> 01:11:12,099
I told you already.
1010
01:11:12,466 --> 01:11:13,400
I need more time.
1011
01:11:22,399 --> 01:11:23,500
It's been over half a year already.
1012
01:11:24,332 --> 01:11:24,965
If we keep delaying,
1013
01:11:25,332 --> 01:11:26,632
the kid will be old enough to call you father.
1014
01:11:27,199 --> 01:11:28,032
Don't forget,
1015
01:11:28,399 --> 01:11:29,665
I made you famous.
1016
01:11:30,065 --> 01:11:31,300
If I could make you famous,
1017
01:11:31,632 --> 01:11:32,932
I can make someone else famous too.
1018
01:11:35,533 --> 01:11:36,966
My lady.
1019
01:11:39,865 --> 01:11:41,199
Oh, my dear lady,
1020
01:11:41,632 --> 01:11:42,699
don't be upset.
1021
01:11:43,033 --> 01:11:44,633
I truly didn't mean it like that.
1022
01:11:46,865 --> 01:11:47,932
My lady,
1023
01:11:48,932 --> 01:11:49,765
please hear me out.
1024
01:11:50,533 --> 01:11:52,966
I only have you in my heart.
1025
01:12:30,432 --> 01:12:31,632
The meal is almost ready.
1026
01:12:33,432 --> 01:12:35,365
I've made your favorite dish, West Lake Fish in Vinegar Gravy.
1027
01:12:56,733 --> 01:12:57,365
Xianglan.
1028
01:12:57,632 --> 01:12:58,432
Changwu.
1029
01:13:00,865 --> 01:13:02,565
Let's not talk about anything unpleasant today.
1030
01:13:03,565 --> 01:13:04,365
Let's eat first.
1031
01:13:22,765 --> 01:13:23,599
Stop smoking.
1032
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:25,932
It's bad for your throat.
1033
01:13:27,533 --> 01:13:29,000
Xianglan, come here. I have something to...
1034
01:13:29,065 --> 01:13:29,865
Changwu.
1035
01:13:33,533 --> 01:13:34,833
You've become a star at last.
1036
01:13:36,666 --> 01:13:38,100
I can tell
1037
01:13:40,832 --> 01:13:43,932
you've been very happy these days.
1038
01:13:46,166 --> 01:13:47,900
I'm just a country girl
1039
01:13:49,399 --> 01:13:50,532
and can't do much to help you.
1040
01:13:52,865 --> 01:13:53,666
Changwu,
1041
01:13:54,733 --> 01:13:55,565
you should go.
1042
01:13:56,432 --> 01:13:57,699
I don't want to be a burden.
1043
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,233
I can provide for both the kid and myself.
1044
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,333
I've left your belongings by the door.
1045
01:14:13,632 --> 01:14:15,500
I'll keep the hair
1046
01:14:17,399 --> 01:14:18,500
as a keepsake.
1047
01:15:09,966 --> 01:15:10,766
Xianglan!
1048
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:16,400
Xianglan!
1049
01:15:24,565 --> 01:15:26,365
By the time I found my sister,
1050
01:15:27,233 --> 01:15:29,033
she was already dead in the street.
1051
01:15:29,832 --> 01:15:32,332
The old innkeeper took me in
1052
01:15:33,432 --> 01:15:34,332
out of pity.
1053
01:15:36,966 --> 01:15:38,266
I've waited ten years
1054
01:15:38,966 --> 01:15:40,432
for this day.
1055
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,300
All these years, I've been thinking about you.
1056
01:15:44,932 --> 01:15:47,233
To tell you the truth, I've been right beside you all along,
1057
01:15:47,865 --> 01:15:49,865
though you never knew it.
1058
01:16:04,733 --> 01:16:06,333
My story is over now.
1059
01:16:07,166 --> 01:16:08,000
Today
1060
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,632
is the day to wrap things up.
1061
01:16:24,966 --> 01:16:27,066
Don't kill me. Don't come near me.
1062
01:16:31,765 --> 01:16:32,599
Don't kill me.
1063
01:16:39,365 --> 01:16:40,000
Chunsheng!
1064
01:16:49,565 --> 01:16:50,800
Your sister was a murderer.
1065
01:16:50,966 --> 01:16:51,966
She deserved to die.
1066
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:54,399
It was only right for me to report her.
1067
01:16:55,533 --> 01:16:56,333
I did nothing wrong.
1068
01:16:57,199 --> 01:16:58,065
She deserved to die.
1069
01:16:59,132 --> 01:17:00,399
She deserved to die!
1070
01:17:20,199 --> 01:17:22,065
Jiang Changwu.
1071
01:17:22,466 --> 01:17:23,333
Pick up the knife
1072
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:24,800
and kill him.
1073
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:26,833
Kill him!
1074
01:17:27,533 --> 01:17:29,800
He's a fugitive. Kill him!
1075
01:17:35,632 --> 01:17:36,265
Freeze, all of you.
1076
01:17:39,166 --> 01:17:42,065
This is getting better and better.
1077
01:17:42,399 --> 01:17:44,265
Help me. He's going to kill me.
1078
01:17:44,365 --> 01:17:45,565
He's going to kill me.
1079
01:17:51,199 --> 01:17:52,000
You...
1080
01:17:54,265 --> 01:17:54,965
What are you doing?
1081
01:17:56,365 --> 01:17:57,432
Who are you people?
1082
01:17:58,132 --> 01:17:59,233
You're quite something, aren't you?
1083
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,065
You're pretty ruthless.
1084
01:18:02,132 --> 01:18:03,765
That old beggar is still unconscious.
1085
01:18:04,399 --> 01:18:07,932
I heard everything you said just now.
1086
01:18:08,765 --> 01:18:10,265
I was also present at the An Family's funeral
1087
01:18:11,065 --> 01:18:12,099
years ago.
1088
01:18:13,132 --> 01:18:13,733
Stop right there!
1089
01:18:14,432 --> 01:18:16,932
A decade ago, I was just a rookie cop.
1090
01:18:17,733 --> 01:18:20,932
I had a fleeting encounter with Sage-like's family.
1091
01:18:22,265 --> 01:18:23,065
As fate would have it,
1092
01:18:23,966 --> 01:18:27,466
the very next day, I went to pay respects on behalf of our chief
1093
01:18:28,565 --> 01:18:31,465
and saw Sage-like there again.
1094
01:18:31,765 --> 01:18:32,699
This is Uncle Qiao.
1095
01:18:33,166 --> 01:18:34,699
You are Sage-like's daughter?
1096
01:18:36,199 --> 01:18:37,932
During the opera that night,
1097
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:41,065
I saw someone take Xianglan away myself.
1098
01:18:43,865 --> 01:18:47,666
I happened to be at the An's residence that evening when the incident occurred.
1099
01:18:50,932 --> 01:18:52,432
Xiangyu, are you scared?
1100
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,000
With you by my side,
1101
01:18:54,332 --> 01:18:55,565
I'm not scared no matter where we go.
1102
01:18:55,966 --> 01:18:56,766
Later,
1103
01:18:57,399 --> 01:18:58,399
when I tell you to run, just run
1104
01:18:58,466 --> 01:18:59,365
and don't ever look back.
1105
01:19:00,132 --> 01:19:01,032
Why?
1106
01:19:01,432 --> 01:19:02,233
No reason.
1107
01:19:02,865 --> 01:19:03,666
You remember what I said?
1108
01:19:05,632 --> 01:19:06,432
Run!
1109
01:19:09,199 --> 01:19:10,000
Stop!
1110
01:19:10,865 --> 01:19:12,199
- Xiangyu! - Stop!
1111
01:19:12,365 --> 01:19:13,166
Don't shoot.
1112
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,600
I let you go
1113
01:19:29,132 --> 01:19:31,166
because I thought there was something strange about this case.
1114
01:19:31,666 --> 01:19:32,132
Did you see him?
1115
01:19:32,166 --> 01:19:34,166
A fortune teller
1116
01:19:34,466 --> 01:19:36,600
was portrayed as an evil figure.
1117
01:19:37,265 --> 01:19:38,665
As a small-time police officer,
1118
01:19:38,865 --> 01:19:40,466
I had little influence and couldn't change much.
1119
01:19:41,832 --> 01:19:43,232
Recently,
1120
01:19:43,932 --> 01:19:46,399
I've received new information
1121
01:19:47,666 --> 01:19:51,365
that the body of Sage-like is in the Midnight Inn.
1122
01:19:52,166 --> 01:19:54,300
This is certainly related to the case from back then.
1123
01:19:55,832 --> 01:19:56,632
By coincidence,
1124
01:19:57,533 --> 01:19:58,533
I ran into you all.
1125
01:19:59,199 --> 01:20:00,832
But just now,
1126
01:20:01,199 --> 01:20:04,399
I discovered the true murderer of Young Master An.
1127
01:20:05,365 --> 01:20:06,100
Gong Qing,
1128
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:08,400
it's you, isn't it?
1129
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:10,800
Don't talk nonsense.
1130
01:20:12,033 --> 01:20:13,266
The murderer is Xianglan.
1131
01:20:14,466 --> 01:20:16,100
It has nothing to do with me.
1132
01:20:16,399 --> 01:20:19,899
Back when I was investigating the case, I also heard
1133
01:20:21,199 --> 01:20:22,832
that the jade piece of the deceased mistress
1134
01:20:23,832 --> 01:20:24,932
was stolen that night.
1135
01:20:34,533 --> 01:20:35,432
What are you doing?
1136
01:20:39,365 --> 01:20:40,432
Go check over there.
1137
01:20:40,565 --> 01:20:41,465
Okay, let's go.
1138
01:20:45,632 --> 01:20:47,032
Over there. Hurry.
1139
01:20:48,565 --> 01:20:49,365
Get in there.
1140
01:20:52,332 --> 01:20:53,365
Let me out.
1141
01:20:53,565 --> 01:20:54,599
Let me out.
1142
01:21:01,166 --> 01:21:01,966
Let go.
1143
01:21:02,765 --> 01:21:05,065
- Let me go. - Come over here.
1144
01:21:18,832 --> 01:21:19,565
Someone!
1145
01:21:21,233 --> 01:21:22,033
Someone!
1146
01:21:31,466 --> 01:21:32,066
Who's there?
1147
01:21:36,733 --> 01:21:37,666
You are the one making mortuary attire.
1148
01:21:40,865 --> 01:21:42,533
What are you sneaking around for?
1149
01:21:56,932 --> 01:21:58,600
How dare you steal from the dead?
1150
01:22:01,399 --> 01:22:02,199
Just you wait.
1151
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:04,733
Someone, come here.
1152
01:22:06,265 --> 01:22:07,065
Someone!
1153
01:22:16,533 --> 01:22:18,133
When I was examining the wounds back then,
1154
01:22:18,765 --> 01:22:21,299
I found that only one wound was inflicted with the right hand,
1155
01:22:22,466 --> 01:22:24,766
while the fatal wound was made with the left hand.
1156
01:22:25,199 --> 01:22:26,832
And just now, when you were drinking tea,
1157
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:29,900
you used your left hand.
1158
01:22:31,533 --> 01:22:32,966
On the floor of the young master's room,
1159
01:22:33,033 --> 01:22:34,033
I found rouge.
1160
01:22:34,033 --> 01:22:37,033
You used it for Mrs. An's mourning makeup, right?
1161
01:22:40,565 --> 01:22:42,199
You turned us in back then
1162
01:22:43,932 --> 01:22:46,332
to make us bear the guilt for you.
1163
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,065
So what if it's true?
1164
01:22:50,765 --> 01:22:52,432
You're just a small-time cop.
1165
01:22:53,466 --> 01:22:54,500
Yet, you are trying to overturn the case?
1166
01:22:56,065 --> 01:22:59,599
The truth of this world is defined by the victors.
1167
01:23:01,632 --> 01:23:03,365
I called the police before coming here.
1168
01:23:04,466 --> 01:23:05,566
As soon as Chief Qian arrives,
1169
01:23:07,199 --> 01:23:09,832
I'll be seen as a victim wronged by you,
1170
01:23:10,632 --> 01:23:11,632
and you
1171
01:23:15,765 --> 01:23:17,432
will still be a fugitive.
1172
01:23:27,865 --> 01:23:28,533
Hurry.
1173
01:23:46,365 --> 01:23:47,199
Don't!
1174
01:24:05,865 --> 01:24:10,065
Help!
1175
01:24:11,666 --> 01:24:12,466
Don't shoot!
1176
01:24:13,199 --> 01:24:14,000
Don't shoot.
1177
01:24:15,132 --> 01:24:16,132
Drop the knife now.
1178
01:24:21,865 --> 01:24:23,365
I'll make sure you get the justice you want.
1179
01:24:28,632 --> 01:24:29,899
You can't give me
1180
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,100
the justice I seek.
1181
01:24:35,565 --> 01:24:37,399
Do you remember what your father told you?
1182
01:24:39,466 --> 01:24:40,533
He told you to keep running
1183
01:24:40,666 --> 01:24:41,466
and never look back.
1184
01:24:42,065 --> 01:24:43,965
He didn't want you to be consumed by hatred
1185
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:45,466
and end up on a destructive path.
1186
01:24:49,932 --> 01:24:50,865
I can't.
1187
01:24:53,265 --> 01:24:54,365
I can't!
1188
01:24:55,565 --> 01:24:56,265
Fire!
1189
01:24:57,632 --> 01:24:58,300
No!
1190
01:25:57,365 --> 01:26:00,966
♪If you're meant to be♪
1191
01:26:01,365 --> 01:26:10,000
♪You'll find yourself on the path to love♪
1192
01:26:12,432 --> 01:26:14,265
Changwu.
