"The Laugh of Peach Blossoms" by Rio Wang
Let's go.
Are you all right?
Hurry up. Let's leave through the backyard.
Leave quickly.
Giddy-up!
Giddy-up!
- Hurry up. Are you all right? - I'm fine.
Giddy-up!
- I'm about to give birth. - Hold on.
Hurry up. Let's go. They have caught up to us.
Fei'er!
Fei'er.
Hold on.
Don't make a sound.
- Let's go. - Let's go. Hurry.
Fei'er!
Hold on.
Fei'er! Fei'er!
It's a daughter.
Older Brother,
let me hold her.
Here.
Be gentle. Be gentle.
Fei'er, everything is fine.
Everything is fine.
Fei'er! Fei'er!
What are you doing, Fei'er?
Strangle her.
She must not stay alive. Brother,
let's throttle her right now.
She is your daughter!
She is a creature that will attract evil!
If we let her stay alive,
she would only be fought over, used by others
her whole life just like me.
What's the point for her to stay alive? It's better for her to just die now.
It's better for her to just die now!
Fei'er.
Fei'er.
I won't let you two die. I won't give up.
They have caught up to us. Older Brother, you take the child and leave immediately.
Hurry up and leave!
- There is nothing here. - Nothing here.
Nothing.
Go chase them.
You must find the child and bring her back to me.
- Hurry up and go. - Yes, sir.
Xue Fei,
is it worth the trouble?
I already don't care about your having an affair with someone else.
I even willingly married you as my secondary wife into my royal manor.
Why can't you just stay with me truthfully?
Your motive for getting close to me
was merely for Biluotian (literally: dark green luminous sky).
When have you ever treated me with sincere feelings?
The misunderstandings between us are too deep.
Take her away.
Prince.
Don't worry, Prince. The bloodline of the Saintess will surely not be terminated.
What Xue Fei gave birth to is surely a girl.
We only have that gleam of hope.
We must find that child.
The ones in the back, catch up!
- Giddy-up. Giddy-up. - Giddy-up.
Be nice. Don't cry. I won't leave you behind. Be good.
After sidestepping them,
we'll live incognito so no one will be able to find us.
Follow them.
Stop.
What's going on, Sirs?
What's going on? Do you two understand the rules?
You actually dare to beg in our territory. Is that right?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. If we have offended you,
please forgive us. We'll leave immediately.
What? You want to leave!
No way. Give me the money.
Big Brother, please have mercy on us. We haven't eaten for three days.
We have only gotten a little by begging with great difficulty.
When we were on that street earlier,
you sing for a living and have attracted so many people. You have earned so much.
Why do you still say you have none? Bring it over.
Buqi, give the money to them.
No way. This is my money.
This girl! Give me the money!
Do you give or not?
You're beating people, is that it?
Uncle Jiu, are you all right?
- Buqi. - Beat him up to death. - Don't beat him anymore.
Don't beat him anymore.
Beat him!
- I beg you no to beat him up anymore. Won't it do if I just give you the money? - Hit him!
Quickly flee!
Buqi, let's leave quickly.
Let's go.
Uncle Jiu, are you all right?
I'm all right.
Ah Huang. (yellow)
Come here.
Uncle Jiu, it's all my fault. I should have given them the money.
Buqi, you must remember from now on that money is mere worldly possessions. You must let go when it's time to do so.
We can still beg for more later on if we lose a few pieces of coins,
but we only have one life. Do you understand?
I got it. Are you all right, Uncle Jiu?
I'm fine. They are all superficial wounds. They'll heal up after a few days of rest.
It's just that we can no longer go begging here.
Then, we'll go somewhere else. There will eventually be a place where we can beg.
Buqi, it has been hard for you
to beg with me.
It's not hard. It's not hard at all.
No other kids have gone to places more than where I have been.
Uncle Jiu, thanks to that big yellow dog for saving us today.
Can we raise it?
She counts as our savior.
Let her follow us from now on.
That's great!
I'll call you Ah Huang. From now on, we'll be a family!
Uncle Jiu, eat some buns.
Uncle Jiu, from now on when we beg,
let's save some money every day to do business!
No, you can't do business.
Why not?
You don't need to know why, just listen to me.
The fewer people know about you the better. Your face must be dirty when you are outside.
You cannot associate with many people, nor can you do business. Got it?
Then won't we have to beg forever? I don't want to be a beggar for life!
Buqi.
I owe others so much money that I can't ever pay it back, so I can only hide.
Nor can others know who I am.
I dragged you down.
Uncle Jiu, don't say that. If you didn't take me in,
I would have starved a long time ago!
Uncle Jiu, don't worry! I won't do business anymore.
In the future, I'll beg with you forever!
Uncle Jiu, eat. I've had some already.
I'm going to give Ah Huang a bath.
Buqi! Be careful when outside.
Don't associate with too many people.
Got it!
Ah Huang!
Come on!
Ah Huang, come on! Hurry!
Ah Huang, what sort of debt can't ever be repaid?
Uncle Jiu looks so scholarly.
He doesn't seem like someone who would owe debts!
Could it be a lover's debt?
Do I resemble Uncle Jiu?
I can't be his daughter, can I?
No wonder I have to look dirty, so others won't recognize me!
It must be!
I really have to beg forever? Perhaps, after people have searched for Uncle Jiu for so long,
they already stopped looking!
No, I must still secretly make money!
I'll cover my face to earn money!
No one will recognize me!
Ah Huang, don't you think so?
Ah Huang, you think I'm right, too? Then it's settled!
From now on, I'll cover my face to earn money!
Candied fruits!
- Xiao Hua! - What?
When will the sorghum wine from the Li Winery in the west side of the prefecture be sent here?
Don't worry, I guarantee it'll be delivered this afternoon!
Okay!
Sister Xiao Hua!
Sister Xiao Hua, here are today's old clothes!
So many?
Don't tell me you got beaten again
for spilling ink on someone.
How could I? I'm good now!
My brothers and I watch the rich people's houses every day!
Every time they throw out their clothes, I grab them immediately!
Not bad! Here!
Have you seen this person before?
No.
- Come take a look! - Let's go.
Move aside.
Rock, paper, scissors!
- Big Sister Xiao Hua! - Big Sister Xiao Hua!
Here.
Thank you, Sister Xiao Hua!
Xiao Hua, you've come?
Granny!
This is the money for the clothes from last time.
