Young Heroes (自古英雄出少年)

YOUNG HEROES (aka LITTLE HEROES)

WANTED. REWARD. DEATH TO ALL WHO HIDE HIM.

At home we depend on our parents. Now, brothers, we are at Guilong dock.

Those with money, use it to help others. Those without money, be helpful in other ways.

My brothers and elders, many thanks! Many thanks!

Go, go, go, go.

They've arrived!

- Bring me a cup of tea. - Coming!

- Where are you going? - Homeward.

- "Where does the ship come from?" - "The Number One Spring under the Heaven."

- "How many springs are there?" - "72 upstream, 36 downstream."

"Altogether there are 108 springs."

- "Heaven and earth." - "A unison of hearts."

Master Hu, you've finally arrived!

Chief Zhang, what's the situation at the dock?

Everything's fine.

But the city gates are closely guarded by Qing soldiers.

That's quite usual. Nothing surprising.

What about the wives and children of our dead comrades?

18 of our comrades died when our headquarters was destroyed. They left behind 20 orphans.

We've taken care of them. They're all safe.

They're all here.

What about the Lord's son?

Ermao?

Rest assured, I've sent Master Li and some comrades to protect him.

They're waiting inside the city now for the order.

I think we'd better act fast.

I agree! Let's get the children on board quickly!

Hoist the sails!

What do coloured sails mean?

It means they're ... protecting someone.

Want to go on board and have some fun?

The fish are too small anyway.

The ship's setting sail.

The ship's setting sail!

Quick. Go.

Get your fortune told here.

They're leaving.

I'm hungry!

Hurry and get on board the ship!

Get on board!

Hurry up!

Come on! Hurry up.

Hurry.

They've boarded! Their disguises are so good.

Come on, let's go!

What are you worried about?

If it was dangerous, then the coloured sails wouldn't have been hoisted.

The Qing soldiers have already blocked the city gates. We must go before it's too late.

- Are the Qing soldiers guarding the dock as well? - Yes.

l've got a really bad feeling today.

Look, there are so many strangers...

- Go tell Master Zhang! - It's already too late.

All we can do is ask Buddha to protect the children on board.

Hurry.

But ... Ermao still hasn't boarded.

I'll go and find Ermao.

Hurry!

Get on the ship!

Here.

Hurry up.

Follow them.

Let us pass.

Excuse me.

Look at those two fishermen!

- What about them? - That guy's eating a live fish!

He's Sima Li!

Qing soldiers.

Go to the city entrance.

Hold it!

- Who is it? - My master's son is ill.

Let me have a look.

But it's the big boss's son.

It's been getting worse for half a year.

- Get out of here! - Forgive me... sorry.

Close the gate! Hurry!

Find Ermao and arrest him!

Come on. Fight.

Master, all the peddlers here are our own people.

Take this.

- Master Li! - Now where can you run? - Master Li!

I've caught Ermao! The 5,200 tael reward is mine!

Look! The real Ermao is here!

What?!

Hold it! Let me see who the real one is.

Take a good look.

Hurry! I'll take care of it.

Quick!

Look, old woman, there are three people dead already.

And the ship still hasn't cast off.

The ship can't get away. Are you going to try to fly?

Master, catch!

l'll cut the rope!

- Set sail! - Grandpa Hu!

Grandpa Hu!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Open up. Quick! Quick!

Get inside! Big Man, what happened?

I couldn't help it! My wife is keeping a close watch on me.

- I finally managed to sneak out. - It's always such a drama with you!

Now what about the actual problem?

Iron Tiger might be a spy.

Iron Tiger, that dog! I'll kill him and avenge my father's death.

Iron Tiger is loyal and righteous. I don't believe he would do such a thing.

- Open up! Open up! - Dammit. The wife's after me again!

- Quick! Let's go. - Yes.

Hey, who are you looking for?

Hold on...

Uhh...

Traitor, you're no longer one of us! ls Iron Tiger your partner? Speak up!

Iron Tiger ... he... he -

Nanny!

Nanny!

- Qing troops may be in the front yard. - In the front yard?

Go! Quick. Quick!

- Nanny... - Tell everyone to leave now!

Erga, tell everyone to leave quickly.

- Go! - Go in to have a look!

- Aren't you looking for that boy? - The fellow with the red bandanna may know.

Follow him!

- Who is he? - The master of Tiger Hall - lron Tiger.

Iron Tiger!

Quick, quick.

Chase them!

They won't catch us if we take this small path.

Keep going.

Come on.

Go.

Look!

Let's go down.

Come on.

Stop.

Over there.

Nanny, don't overdo it.

Let's go.

Several of our comrades died, but we still weren't able to cast off.

The Qing soldiers fought their way onto the ship.

Fortunately, Jiang in one leap hurled herself onto the pier,

and severed the rope with her sword.

The children on board were saved.

But what happened to Jiang?

She fell into the river and was swept away.

Nanny, I'm a good guy, too.

Will you let me stay?

Huh? You want to join? With your kung fu?

Now, now. You'd better go home. Your parents will be worrying about you.

And your wife, too.

Never! I'd rather face a tiger than see her!

Big Brother, please help me.

Tiandihui brothers have sworn to overthrow the Qing dynasty.

We're not afraid to die. Yet you're afraid of your wife!

Little Brother Ermao.

What?! Who said you could call me that?

- Yes, yes! Big Brother Ermao! - What's the matter?

- Your father is the leader of the Tiandihui. - Yes. What of it?

I... you... Can you...

Oh, you want us to become sworn brothers, so you can join the Tiandihui.

Right! Help me join!

No way.

Okay, okay. That's enough.

We'll be at Li's family lodge tomorrow. The stronghold is one of our branches.

Sima Li, that son of a bitch. He won't catch up with us.

Neither will Iron Tiger.

- Nor my wife! - All right.

When we get to Li's family lodge, I'll arrange someone to take you home.

Come on.

This is Li's family lodge.

Slow down.

Nanny, look!

Nanny.

Jiang!

Old fool, if you want to see your grand- daughter again, then bring Ermao here.

Don't do it, Nanny! Get out of here!

Quick. Go!

- Nanny, let me go in her place. - You can't go.

You'll just die even faster.

There's no hurry. Just take your time to think about it.

You old fool, the people of this lodge won't come to save you.

After we got here, there's no one left any more!

Nanny, what should we do?

You're all expert fighters,

yet you resort to such dirty methods!

Have you reached a decision?

Nanny, just let me go.

What do you think?

Nanny, don't fall for it!

Don't move.

Old woman, surely you don't like to see your granddaughter in this position?

She is suffering.

Hurry and give us Ermao for her!

Come over here.

Listen! If you ever want to see your granddaughter again,

you'd better bring Ermao before I count to ten.

One, two, three, four, five...

six, seven, eight...

Nine!

Fight!

Ermao, you can't run away!

Jiang, this should help!
