[Snowy Night Timeless Love]

[Episode 11]

The Moon Sect

had bamboo slips with records about the Mo Family Village?

That's right,

but in the fight that day,

I cut those bamboo slips.

I don't know if there are any clues left.

You've been to the Apothecary Valley many times.

Has Chief Xue never mentioned anything about it?

What are you thinking about?

If you don't tell me,

I'll go ask Chief Xue directly.

Fourth Brother.

Don't go.

Even if you're not curious,

I am.

Actually,

I once asked her

how she ended up in the Apothecary Valley.

But it seemed that it was very private,

and she didn't want to talk about it.

It's already not gentlemanly

for us to make assumptions.

We shouldn't ask her about it.

Alright.

You're a gentleman,

and I'm not, okay?

I'm just trying to help you.

With what?

Figure it out yourself!

When I was 14 years old,

I fell into an icy river

and caught a chill.

His name is Xuehuai.

Without him,

I'd have become a pile of ashes…

or been eaten by fish.

That day…

was just as cold as this.

Every time I suffer from my cold disease,

I wonder…

when he was

soaking in the icy river alone,

if it was hundreds of times more painful and colder

than how I feel.

Master,

how have you been lately?

I need to ask you about something.

On New Year's Eve of the fourth year of Huijia,

in a village called the Mo Family Village,

over 100 people died overnight.

That village is located in the territory of the Celestial Alp Sect.

I wonder if you

have ever heard about it.

If you have any clues,

please write a letter to the Apothecary Valley.

Best wishes, your disciple, Zhanbai.

[Mo Family Village]

Mr. Huo.

Mr. Seven.

It's early in the morning. Where did you…

I went out last night

and just came back.

Is Chief Xue up?

Chief just returned from collecting Rootless Water.

She's in the Summer Garden now.

You want to see her?

No.

Seven, you're back.

When I opened my eyes

and didn't see you,

I thought you had gone down the mountain.

No.

I just went for a walk.

Are you still thinking about Chief Xue's matter?

You're leaving?

If I stayed any longer,

I'd be too insensitive, wouldn't I?

I just learned from Feng Lyu

that Chief Xue has been using the money she got paid

to treat the villagers nearby

and provide them with medicine.

She also uses the money

to take care of orphans.

Although Chief Xue resides in the Apothecary Valley,

she cares so much for the people outside.

I misunderstood her before,

thinking she was mercenary.

Turns out I jumped to conclusions.

Before I leave,

I need to say goodbye properly

to her.

Let me remind you,

about the Mo Family Village massacre,

don't mention it in front of her.

You've already said

that's a personal thing.

Why would I be so thick-skinned

and bring it up again?

Although

I'm indeed very curious.

I think you'd better not go.

I don't think you can hold it in.

I'm just about to set off

to search for the next medicine.

I'll pack up in a bit

and leave with you.

You should just stay here

for recuperation.

Don't leave until Chief Xue

allows you to.

Come in.

Chief wants you

to go to the medicine hut for a check-up.

If everything's fine,

you've fully recovered.

I'll be right over.

I'll go with you.

If you have anything to say,

I can pass it on for you.

You said you're afraid

I'll mention the Mo Family Village massacre,

but that's just an excuse, isn't it?

It's a serious matter.

How could I possibly joke about it?

I just…

You just think we shouldn't

pry into Chief Xue's private affairs,

right?

Alright.

Off you go.

There's nothing you want to say to her?

No.

30 minutes as usual.

You're usually very talkative.

Why are you so quiet today?

Nothing.

It turns out

she's endured so much alone.

If you want to ask something, go ahead.

Nothing.

You've been acting strange these past few days.

I…

I'm just getting impatient.

Can't wait to go search for the next medicine.

I'm getting impatient too.

After all, you and your brother

have stayed in the valley for so long.

It's been quite noisy.

You've almost fully recovered.

You can finally leave.

Then,

I'll set off

to get the next medicine.

Qianyu will leave the valley with me.

He asked me to say goodbye to you on his behalf.

If he's willing

to continue repaying your debt,

the Apothecary Valley welcomes him anytime.

What's this?

The herb called Dragon's Tongue grows on steep cliffs.

If you want to get it, bumps and scratches are inevitable.

I made this medicine for wounds myself.

If you're slightly injured,

you can use it.

Thank you.

No need.

I just don't want

to exhaust myself saving you again.

The cliffs are dangerous.

Don't die.

You haven't paid off your debt yet.

Fourth Brother,

after you go back,

give my regards to the chief.

Okay.

You just focus on collecting medicines for Mo.

I'll handle the affairs

of the Sword Sect.

Okay.

Thank you in advance, Fourth Brother.

It's fine.

Actually,

back in Yangzhou,

I kind of took it out on you.

I know.

You know?

It was because of Fifth Brother.

I know that you

and Fifth Brother, Wei Fengxing,

roamed

the martial world together since childhood.

You're known as the White Feather Sword,

and he as Mr. Dashing.

Your stories

are known to everyone in the martial world.

It's just that Fengxing

suddenly changed his mind.

It's said he got married and had children,

became a good husband and father,

and vanished from the martial world.

Not long after he disappeared,

I killed Chonghua.

In just half a year,

the Sword Sect

lost two of its eight major disciples.

I know that

you've always valued brotherhood,

so you must feel very upset.

Fengxing is the worst.

It's fine that he didn't tell you all,

but he should've at least told me.

Alright.

Anyway, once I have news about Fengxing,

I'll tell you immediately.

Who cares?

Tell me if you want.

He still owes me

several hundred taels of silver for drinks.

Seven.

Stop looking.

There's plenty of time in the future.

Let's go.

Chief.

Come in.

What's it?

Chief,

Mr. Seven and Mr. Xia

have left the valley.

When I was cleaning the guest room just now,

I found that Mr. Seven had left

his wine flask here.

How careless.

Chief, did you think of something?

You look so happy.

Nothing.

[Ping'an Inn]

-Huo! -Brother Meng.

Mrs. Meng.

Look at him.

Huo.

Come on, have a seat inside.

What a lovely surprise to see you!

Make him feel at home.

Sit down.

Let me

bring you some wine.

No need.

I'll just have some hot tea

and get back on the road.

Huo,

it's been so long since you last visited.

Let me

warm some wine

and stew some mutton for you.

You can leave after you eat it.

You're so kind.

Forget that.

Go stew some mutton.

Alright, I'm on it.

Dad, Mom,

come out.

What's wrong?

What happened?

I was chopping wood just now

and fell.

Tai tried to protect me

and injured his leg.

I'm fine. It's not serious.

I hope the bone is fine.

Tai,

let me take you to see a physician.

Let's go.

Brother Meng.

I happen to have some medicine.

Here.

It's a wound-healing medicine.

It's very effective for treating external injuries.

Thank you, Mr. Huo.

Thank you.

It may hurt.

Here.

It's alright.

Hang in there.

Hang in there.

Does it hurt?

No.

Here's the mutton stew.

Here.

Huo.

You guys enjoy it.

Thank you, Mrs. Meng.

You may go.

Eat while it's hot.

Tai and Chu

just got married last month.

A few days ago,

they went to see a physician.

He said she's pregnant.

That's great news.

Yes, indeed.

Here. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you

for that medicine today.

You should thank

the person who gave it to me.

Well,

year after year,

you've been running around everywhere.

It's good.

Having a place to settle down

is good.

Even birds know to build nests.

People also need a shelter.

That's what we call home.

Right.

Home.

This year,

my wife

made a lot of October White, a king of wine.

When you leave,

take some with you.

Is that friend of yours

a man or a woman?

A woman,

but she also likes to drink.

Great!

Then bring her a jar of it.

Let her try it too.

Give me your wine flask later.

I'll fill it up for you.

Okay.

Thank you, Brother Meng.

Here,

try this.

You're saying

you killed everyone

in the Celestial Paradise?

Yes.

I selected those people personally.

You just killed them on a whim?

Doctrine Leader, you once said

I could do as I pleased with those people.

Eye.

Do you know

the flower

called the blue poppy?

It takes ten years for it

to sprout and bloom.

But unfortunately…

Unfortunately,

this kind of flower

only blooms once in its lifetime.

After the fleeting splendor,

it wilts quickly

and dies.

Eye.

Those people should be very grateful to you.

Because it's you

who let them bloom once in this life.

I wasn't wrong about you.

Rise.

Thank you, Doctrine Leader.

As for those nutrients…

Miao Kong,

take those nutrients

to my garden.

Let them nourish my flowers.

Yes.

Now that the White Cloud Palace's

Seven Star Sword Formation has been broken,

isn't it time

we pay a proper visit

to the Celestial Alp Sect?

Good idea, Doctrine Leader.

For many years,

the Sword Sect, the White Cloud Palace, and the Celestial Alp Sect

have been closely allied.

When one is in trouble, the other two will provide support.

To break this alliance,

you destroyed the White Cloud Palace's

Seven Star Sword Formation

and sowed discord between the White Cloud Palace

and the Sword Sect.

Then you killed Qiushui He from the Celestial Alp Sect.

This way,

when the Sword Sect is in trouble,

the White Cloud Palace and the Celestial Alp Sect

will be too preoccupied to offer help.

The Sword Sect will inevitably end up

in an isolated and helpless situation.

Feng.

You know me better than anyone else.

Then I'll give this important task

to Ming Li, Miao Huo, and Miao Shui.

You'll go together.

We won't

fail you, Doctrine Leader.

Oh no!

This was the birthday gift Senior Zhanbai

gave to our chief two years ago.

Chief has always cherished it.

Please punish me, Chief.

I broke

the teacup

Senior Zhanbai gave you

by accident.

It's alright.

Get up.

Yes.

Are you hurt?

Chief,

just a small scratch, nothing serious.

Go apply some medicine.

Someone else will take care of this.

But...

Go.

Thank you, Chief.

Chief.

Senior Zhanbai has sent a letter.

The Mo Family Village?

[Mount Jun, Dongting]

Master?

Zhanbai?

Greetings, Master.

Good.

Master,

why are you here?

I came here to look for an herb for Mo.

Dragon's Tongue?

Yes.

Zhanbai,

all these years,

to cure Mo,

you've gone through a lot.

It's completely fine.

I know you.

Even if it was hard, you wouldn't say it.

I know, in the past few years,

you've been running around

and doing everything you can

for Mo.

I really appreciate it.

I

planned to pick the herb Dragon's Tongue

and send it to the Apothecary Valley.

But since I've met you here,

I'll let you

take it to the Apothecary Valley.

Thank you, Master.

Don't mention it.

As Mo's grandfather,

I should've done something for Mo long ago.

Mo is my family too.

To save him,

I'll certainly do my best.

Moreover…

Zhanbai.

When I brought you into the Celestial Alp Sect,

you were only three years old.

In my eyes,

you and Yin are the same.

You're both my children.

Yin has gone through a lot.

I suppose she

has already moved on.

The road ahead is treacherous.

I don't want you

to move forward

with such a heavy burden.

It's time

for you

to let go.

I understand.

It's been a long time since I met Yin and Mo.

To be honest,

I really miss them.

Junior Yin and Mo

should be in the valley for a follow-up now.

Master,

why don't you go back to the valley with me

to see Mo?

Is that so?

They're in the Apothecary Valley too?

Yes.

Okay.

Then I'll go with you.

By the way, Master,

in my previous letter,

I mentioned the massacre at the Mo Family Village.

Have you found anything about it?

The Mo Family Village?

Zhanbai.

Sorry

that I have to disappoint you.

I sent people out to investigate it for a long time,

but they found nothing.

That village was wiped out quietly,

and it happened so many years ago

without leaving a single clue behind.

As a righteous sect in the martial world,

we should see it as our duty

to uphold justice.

Rest assured.

Such a tragedy happened

in the martial world.

I'll get to the bottom of it.

By the way,

how did you come to know about this?

Do you have any clues?

I was on my way to get a medicine

when I passed by that village.

I saw traces of burning and killing.

After inquiring,

I learned what happened back then.

I see.

I'll keep an eye out.

As soon as there's any news,

I'll tell you immediately.

Okay.

Good.

Let's go.

Chief Xue,

how is Mo's condition?

His condition is stable.

I'll give him some nourishing medicines.

They can calm his mind and replenish his energy.

Thank you, Chief Xue.

Mo,

thank Chief Xue.

Thank you.

By the way,

every time I came to the valley for a follow-up,

my senior wasn't in the valley.

I wonder when he left the valley

this year.

Is he coming back soon?

Every time he returned with a medicine,

he only stayed in the valley

for a month or two.

After recovering from his injuries,

he'd leave in a hurry to search for the next medicine.

If you want to see him,

just stay in the valley

and wait for him.

That'd be an imposition.

I'll take Mo

to the Longmen Village at the foot of the mountain

and find a place to stay.

No need for that.

Mrs. Qiushui,

having a beautiful lady like you

in the valley

and seeing you every day

would be quite a pleasure.

So stay as long as you like.

Thank you very much, Chief Xue.

Zhanbai.

Be careful. It's poisonous!

You're poisoned.

Chief,

are you alright?

I'm fine.

Let's hurry back.

Okay.

Chief.

What are you looking at?

Mr. Seven is back.

Looks like

he's seriously injured again.

Miss, you have an extraordinary aura.

You must be Chief Xue.

I'm Qiushui He.

Pleasure to meet you.

Qiushui He?

You're the chief of the Celestial Alp Sect,

Huo Zhanbai's master?

Zhanbai is severely injured.

Don't just stand there.

Take him into the valley.

This time, you didn't bring back the medicine

but brought back your master.

Father?

Yin?

Mo.

Mo,

this is your grandpa.

Grandpa, Grandpa,

what are you doing here?

I'm here to see you, Mo.

Let me see.

Have you grown taller?

Have you grown stronger?

He's grown taller.

You've grown taller.

Chief Xue.

Is Zhanbai alright?

His condition

has stabilized.

I need to wait for him to wake up

before continuing treatment.

Father,

what happened?

Zhanbai went to the Celestial Alp Sect

to find me

and get Dragon's Tongue.

I heard that you and Mo

are also in the Apothecary Valley,

so I decided to come back with him

to see you.

Unexpectedly,

on our way back,

we met assassins from Yuan Yi Palace.

Zhanbai got severely injured

trying to save me.

I brought this upon him.

This is Dragon's Tongue.

Before Zhanbai lost consciousness,

he told me to give it to Chief Xue for safekeeping.

It was for the medicine again.

Over these past few years,

I've watched him return

with herbs time and time again,

either poisoned

or covered in blood,

as if he'd never get tired.

My master…

Your master is fine.

Dragon's...

Dragon's Tongue

has been placed in the ice cave.

How did you know…

How did I know what you wanted to ask?

You're still so caring and selfless,

Mr. Seven.

After waking up,

you first asked about your master,

then about the medicine that can save Mo.

You only thought about yourself at last.

Why can't I speak properly?

Your throat is damaged.

It's a permanent disability.

When speaking,

you'll sound like you did just now,

and your throat will hurt like it's being cut by a blade.

You'll also be short of breath

with a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

Maybe

you'll become mute in the future.

But that's not so bad.

In the past,

you talked too much every day,

harming yourself without realizing it.

From now on, you can talk less,

which is not only less noisy

but also can earn you a good reputation

for selflessly seeking medicines to save someone.

It's worth it.

You want to ask

when you can fully recover

so you can seek the next medicine for Mo?

You'll need to stay in the valley for a while.

I just said it was a permanent disability

to scare you a bit,

but you were not scared at all.

When I said you couldn't leave to collect medicines for now,

you became very concerned.

This time,

you shouldn't be in a hurry to leave.

Mo and Mrs. Qiushui

are in the valley now.

Turn around.

Show me your shoulders.

Your hair.

Stay still.

Turn around.

♫As the wind blows and the snow falls, the scent of plum blossoms sighs♫

♫You nestle close, your whisper slow and tender♫

♫In the shadow, the stories of the heart remain untold♫

♫The bright moon in clouds reminds me of yesteryear♫

♫Drifting like smoke, I journey into the long night♫

♫In so deep, I'm trapped in the whirlpool of fate♫

♫In this world, light takes your form♫

♫Not to make my mark, just to make it all worth it♫

♫Traveling through hustle, you became my hope♫

♫Try to hide tears; how can I ever forget you?♫

♫In this world, light takes your form♫

♫Following your direction, together we tread this path♫

♫Joy and tears blurred the line between love and hate♫

Gua sha isn't just about using brute force.

♫Eyes reddened, love etched on the heart♫

♫In this world, light takes your form♫

♫Following your direction, together we tread this path♫

♫Joy and tears blurred the line between love and hate♫

♫Eyes reddened, love etched on the heart♫

That cough sounded smooth.

It seems you've recovered a bit.

Try saying something.

You're a bad woman.

I kindly saved you,

and that's what you want to say?

Although my voice is back,

why does it still hurt so much when I speak?

No way.

Looks like your injuries are very serious this time.

You'll need to stay in the valley for a few more months,

perhaps half a year.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

It stopped hurting instantly.

It doesn't hurt anymore?

No, it doesn't.

Chief Xue, you're a wonderful doctor

with miraculous medical skills.

Thank you very much.

I heard that this time

you were injured trying to save

your master.

I was an orphan when I was young.

Master adopted me

and gave me a second home.

I see him as my father.

When he was in danger,

I naturally had to do my best

to protect him.

All these years,

you've risked your life to collect medicines for Mo.

Is it really worth it?

As long as Mo can recover,

everything is worth it.

You're seriously injured this time.

You need to rest for the next few days.

Remember to take your medicine.

Don't use my inner energy.

I know.

Thanks.
