Nothing Gold Can Stay

Episode 1

Good!

Good!

Ladies and gentlemen of Jingyang.

My daughter and I are new in this place.

They say that we rely on friends...

...when we go to an unfamiliar place.

If you have money to spare, please support us.

If you have no spare money, please go back and get some money.

I'll thank you in advance.

It looks like the people of Jingyang...

...are not easy to impress.

If I don't show my ultimate move today...

...I'll be embarrassed!

Good!

This skill is passed on by Shaolin...

...and developed by Wudang.

It once defeated countless of fighters...

"especially in the fighters' assembly!

Stop boasting!

Look. Sir.

This is a real steel weapon. -He's so impressive.

This is real flesh and blood.

Why are you saying that I am boasting?

It's true that the weapon is real.

But, your daughter was the one wielding the weapon.

How much strength did she use?

We don't know! -Right!

Don't spout nonsense. Everyone saw it earlier.

I used all my strength.

You call that all your strength?

You call that martial art?

Sir, what is martial art then?

Why don't you let me strike you with the weapon?

If you're still fine after that...

...I'll be impressed! -Right!

You either watch or get lost.

They are boasting indeed!

There's nothing to watch here! Let's go back!

Stop!

Come. -Father.

Seriously? -Come.

Don't you doubt my daughter? Don't you want to do it yourself?

Come on!

I'm wammg you'.

You'll definitely get hurl!

You might even die! - Father, this won't do.

I'll take full responsibility for that.

Come on! Do it or you're a coward!

Do it! -Weren't you confident?

Forget it, father. -It's alright.

You all saw it! He asked for this!

If he dies or gets injured...

...it's not my fault!

Father, let's leave.

It's alright.

Today, I, Zhou Lao Si...

...will show everyone Zhou Family's ultimate move!

Father!

He killed him!

Father! -Don't run!

Stop right there! Hey, you!

You cut someone and you don't even pay!

You're too mean! -He asked me to do it.

This isn't my fault. -Pay!

Pay!

You're too mean! -Father!

Poor thing. -Poor thing.

Father! -Poor thing.

Father, what will happen to me if you die?

Father, wake up!

Father!

Father!

Ladies and gentleman, that was just a joke...

...by me and my daughter. Please forgive us.

Tea please.

Let's split the money.

You have your share.

Here you go.

I don't need so much. - Don't you love date cake?

You can buy as much as you want. -Alright.

Brother Si, where do we go for wine today?

Hongyun House. -Hongyun House?

Here's your chilli, coriander and sweetened garlic.

Please tear the pancake yourself.

It smells good. -Date cakes for sale!

Date cakes!

Young lady, do you want one?

No. Don't touch.

Here you go.

Give me a big piece.

A small one.

Someone got hit!

Are you blind? Can't you see the carriage?

Are you asking for death? The road is so wide!

Can't you walk properly? This is so dangerous!

Are you blind? -Young master, are you alright?

He's the one. -Bao Lai, don't scold him.

Are you hurt? -My leg.

I think it's broken. - Go and get a physician.

It's alright. Just give me some money.

I'll go to a physician on my own.

It's safer to find a physician now.

You hit me! Shouldn't you compensate me?

Won't anyone say something for me? -Don't spout nonsense!

Our young master did not refuse to pay! Let go of him!

You think you can bully me just because you are rich?

You hit me! I won't let you leave unless you pay!

You... -Stop acting. Stand up.

My leg is broken. How do I stand up?

You... You even kicked me.

A liar.

He can run so quickly even though his leg is broken.

Thank you, gentleman.

I've seen a lot of these tricks in the capital.

I actually know that he was trying to cheat me.

But, I just don't know how to handle him.

The problem has been settled! Dismiss!

Gentleman, may I know your name?

It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it.

Let's go. -Yes.

Gentleman, did you see my brother?

Your brother?

He's wearing clothes made of handwoven cloth.

His face is full of scars.

That's your brother? -You saw him?

He swindled our young master. -Fu Lai, forget it.

What? Gentleman, I'm sorry.

How much did he swindle? I'll pay.

I only have this jade tag passed on in my family.

It's worth 10 taels. I don't know if it's enough.

Please take it.

No. Your brother failed. You don't have to pay me.

I'm glad then. Gentleman.

Please forgive my brother. Actually...

...he hasn't done that for 2 years.

He wouldn't do it again...

...if it isn't because...

...my father is dead while my mother is ill...

...and our youngest brother has starved for 3 days.

You all...

You all aren't locals, right?

We're not locals.

The drought in our hometown lasted 2 years.

There's been no harvest.

We're refugees.

Young lady.

Your brother headed towards that direction.

Maybe you can ask others.

Thank you, gentleman.

Gentleman, why don't you...

Why don't you buy this jade tag? I only need 10 taels.

No. I don't need it.

5 taels.

3 taels.

The physician said...

The physician said he won't treat my mother...

...if we don't pay.

It's alright. Young lady, don't cry.

Alright.

Young lady, I'll give you Steels.

Thank you. You can take this jade tag.

No. This is your heirloom. Keep it.

Thank you, gentleman.

Young lady.

Please wait. My name card.

This is my name card. Feel free to come to me...

...if you have any other problem.

But, tell your brother to stop swindling.

Thank you, gentleman.

Let's move!

Young master, that lady looks quite honest.

She's so unlucky to have a brother like that.

Life is tough.

Father, why are you packing up?

We need to leave tomorrow.

We're leaving? I thought you said we'll leave in autumn.

I found you a place.

You're out of money again?

Don't you have more than 10 taels?

I couldn't resist the urge today.

I gambled at Big Mouth Wang's place.

You lost all the money? -I still owe Big Mouth Wang...

...15taels.

You sold me again.

This time...

...I made 5 taels more than the last time.

Who am I sold to? -I didn't ask.

Just stay for a few days and find a chance to run away.

I'll wait for you at Sanli Store outside of the city.

We'll flee to the grassland.

I thought we can stay in Jingyang for a few months.

We've to leave sooner or later anyway.

Early or late, it doesn't matter at all.

Father.

When can we stop running away...

...and settle down? -Settle down?

We are both destined to drift.

We can't settle down. -You don't even know my biflhdate.
