Edge City Wanderer (Border Town Prodigal / 新边城浪子 / Bian Cheng Lang Zi)

Border Town Prodigal Episode 3

Faster!

My lady is really nice. You knew I was getting bored staying in Ten Thousand Horse Hall,

so you're giving me a tour of the desert.

Today's excursion is not for leisure, it is to capture wild horses.

Capture wild horses?

This desert is home to some wild horses.

They have great physiques, strong endurance, and amazing speed.

A mount truly capable of travelling 10,000 miles. Unfortunately they are difficult to tame.

To maintain the quality of our horses,

every year we come to the desert

to capture a few stallions and breed them with our broodmares,

then we release them again.

In doing so the foals that are born are the best of the best.

Stop, rest here.

Up ahead is the desert's death zone, the Sea of Quicksand.

Sea of Quicksand?

The whole area is spotted with areas of quicksand.

Once you take a step in one, you can't be saved.

And what happens when you can't be saved?

You become a part of the desert.

So you have the horse slaves go ahead of you to test the route.

There is no need to feel guilty, this is how we have always done it.

Eventually you will get used to it.

Attend me, prepare my horse. -Yes!

You, come with me.

She's talking to you, get up!

Faster, let's go!

Say, if I bury someone in the desert,

will anyone find out?

Don't worry, I'm not referring to you.

I'm referring to this.

Ten years ago someone read my fortune,

and said I would marry someone who could draw my Morning Dew Sword.

My father who was in isolation will be returning soon.

Do you know what that means?

It means that I will be married off to MuRong Mingzhu.

He isn't bad as a person,

but he isn't the one I'm waiting for.

Realistically we are both slaves of Ten Thousand Horse Hall,

our body and souls bound by shackles,

unable to take a single breath.

Actually, I admire you.

At least you can rebel against your fate,

whereas I can not.

Leave,

someone like you deserves to continue living.

Who are you?

People who want you dead.

Leave quickly!

If one day you meet someone who can draw your Morning Dew Sword

What would you do?

If they exist..

I would give up everything and follow them

Let's go, it is dangerous here.

Get away from me!

Stay away from me.

You damned horse slave, where are you taking me!?

What are you doing?

We have neither food nor water.

You'd best calm down.

We still have a long way to go.

Fu Hongxue, let me go.

Let me go, my life or death has nothing to do with you!

I only want to save you.

I don't want your saving and I don't want you to drag me like this.

You should let me go and leave me here alone.

Save your strength.

Let me die! I would rather die here.

I would rather die in this desert!

Just looking at you makes me feel hatred.

Attack!

Save me!

Help me!

Help me, quickly!

Save me!

Stop moving! I am too busy to help you now.

Hook this onto something, then drag yourself out!

Of all the people here you just had to latch onto me didn't you?

I'll just drag along with you!

I don't trust anyone else, just you!

Stop moving wildly, spread out your arms and relax your body!

I'll pull you out and save you for sure!

Let go first!

No! Ye Kai, you can't leave me behind! Hurry up and save me!

Let go of the shackle! As soon as I've dealt with the enemies I'll save you!

The more you move the faster you sink!

Save me!

Hurry up and save me!

I can't breathe anymore, hurry!

We will split our men and search in 3 directions.

No matter the method, we must find the Young Mistress!

Yes sir!

I'm here... I'm here!

Miss!

Miss are you alright? - Wa... ter.

Give me water.

Fella, this doesn't involve you anymore.

You can leave.

Miss, water.

Don't kill them, stop it!

No!

Why did you kill them all?

Why!

Since you seem to love killing so much, just kill me too!

Kill me!

Don't touch me, just kill me!

They aren't your people. They were here to kill you.

Lay down.

Brother Ye! Brother Ye! Wake up!

Brother Ye!

Are you alright Brother Ye?

Brother Ye, don't scare me like this!

Brother Ye wake up!

I won't let anything happen to you.

You're awake!

You're awake! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!

Hey, with all your shaking, even if I was alive you would have killed me instead.

I just knew you wouldn't abandon me!

Where are we?

From when we were sucked in by the quicksand,

I don't know what happened after that.

When I woke up we were here already.

It must be the underground river below the desert

Underground river?

Quicksand often has an underground river below it.

That is, the flow of water below the surface.

We must have been brought here by that river.

Let me help you pull it out!

What are you doing? What are you trying to do?

Pulling out the arrow, heavens! -I'll do it myself thanks.

Oh, fine, be careful.

Are you alright?

You call this alright?

If you follow this river for a distance,

you should find a settlement somewhere.

Hurry up and go home,

the world isn't as much fun as you imagine it to be.

Then what about you?

This arrow is poisoned, I'm probably not going to be able to leave this place.

It's alright! I learned medicine from my mother!

I can save you!

If you really care for me,

I have one final heart's desire,

could you help me?

Heart's desire?

Sure, sure, tell what it is.

I'll help you make it happen.

My wish is...

for you to leave me alone, okay?!

I, Ye Kai, had a pretty good life, then after meeting you I've been so unlucky!

Am I that troublesome?

Troublesome! Super troublesome!

I won't leave even if you tell me I'm troublesome!

I'm hungry..

How about... we go eat!

Come on, let's go!

How is it?

We've only found these two so far.

Master MuRong was hit by an assassin's poisoned arrow,

Luckily the maidservant had some background in medicine.

The danger to his life should have passed,

but Young Mistress' whereabouts are still unknown.

What are you loitering here for? Quickly get treatment for Master MuRong!

Poisoned arrow? You said he was hit by a poisoned arrow?

Who would dare

act against Ten Thousand Horse Hall's Young Mistress! -The situation is unclear at the moment,

but the horses are already exhausted.
