[01:43] ---
    Miss.
[01:45] ---
    Miss.
[01:54] ---
    Miss.
[01:56] ---
    Miss.
[01:57] ---
    The fishes aren't for sale.
[01:59] ---
    What?
[01:59] ---
    You little brat!
[02:00] ---
    Why can't you stand in others' shoes?
[02:02] ---
    We come to Lizhou City from far away.
[02:04] ---
    All we want is to taste
    the fish in Jinghua Marsh.
[02:11] ---
    My name is Wang Xiaoniu, not "little brat".
[02:13] ---
    And the fishes aren't from Jinghua Marsh.
[02:15] ---
    I got them from a river.
[02:16] ---
    Mr. Miao is coming for it soon.
[02:18] ---
    Mr. Miao?
[02:26] ---
    Humph!
[02:27] ---
    I know clearly that
[02:28] ---
    Jinghua Marsh is famous for its
    peach flowers and crucians.
[02:31] ---
    Eating fish in the night fair
    and enjoying peach flowers
[02:33] ---
    will be such a great fun.
[02:35] ---
    Stop it!
[02:38] ---
    Miss Tao Yao, please behave yourself.
[02:41] ---
    God cares about all lives.
[02:43] ---
    We should avoid eating meat and fish.
[02:45] ---
    Knock it off!
[02:45] ---
    You and Gungun both had
    a craving for the fish.
[02:48] ---
    Now you're shedding crocodile tears?
[02:55] ---
    If you're hungry,
[02:56] ---
    I'll share some rice cakes with you.
[02:59] ---
    -Xiaoniu... -Amitabha.
[03:04] ---
    I guess you don't know it.
[03:06] ---
    There are no fishes in Jinghua Marsh at all.
[03:08] ---
    Peach Flower Night Fair is closed.
[03:10] ---
    All we've got is the mire,
[03:12] ---
    a scene of desolation.
[03:15] ---
    What? Are you kidding me?
[03:17] ---
    No, I'm not.
[03:18] ---
    You little...
[03:18] ---
    What?
[03:22] ---
    Xiaoniu.
[03:24] ---
    Could you tell me
[03:26] ---
    how I can get to Jinghua Marsh?
[03:38] ---
    Tao Yao, are you sure we
    are in the right place?
[03:45] ---
    If Wang Xiaoniu didn't trick
    me, I think it's here.
[03:49] ---
    Go deep into the woods.
[03:51] ---
    It'll take you half of the day to get there.
[04:03] ---
    What happened to the legendary marsh?
[04:06] ---
    Amitabha.
[04:08] ---
    The night fair... The peach flowers...
[04:11] ---
    And the fish...
[04:14] ---
    They are all gone...
[04:17] ---
    Look how deserted it is!
[04:19] ---
    Tao Yao, did your patient move away?
[04:24] ---
    Humph! If he bails on me,
[04:26] ---
    I'll make him regret for
    the rest of his life!
[04:38] ---
    Marsh Fairy!
[04:42] ---
    Marsh Fairy!
[04:46] ---
    Marsh Fairy!
[05:24] ---
    You finally showed up,
[05:26] ---
    Miss Tao Yao!
[05:30] ---
    Weren't you yellow all over?
[05:33] ---
    Why have you turned green?
[05:34] ---
    You're even wearing a green hat now!
[05:38] ---
    It's a long story, Miss Tao Yao.
[05:46] ---
    Bro...
[05:48] ---
    I didn't want to turn green...
[05:50] ---
    But I was poisoned in Jinghua Marsh,
[05:53] ---
    and I'm afraid I'll die soon.
[05:57] ---
    Poisoned? What poison?
[06:00] ---
    It was...
[06:01] ---
    Lord Autumn from the mire put the poison in.
[06:04] ---
    Back then, Jinghua Marsh
    didn't dry up completely.
[06:08] ---
    I was still living in the pond of the marsh.
[06:11] ---
    Though it began to dry up slowly,
[06:13] ---
    we Marsh Fairies could survive by sunbathing.
[06:17] ---
    Everything was OK at that time.
[06:24] ---
    But later on,
[06:25] ---
    Lord Autumn showed up from nowhere.
[06:28] ---
    He alleged that Jinghua
    Marsh was his territory.
[06:31] ---
    And he'd eat anyone who didn't obey him.
[06:39] ---
    Fairies and spirits in the
    marsh couldn't defeat him.
[06:41] ---
    Some of us died and others escaped.
[06:44] ---
    Lord Autumn is formidable.
[06:49] ---
    I only had a narrow escape,
[06:51] ---
    but got poisoned by Lord Autumn.
[06:53] ---
    In desperation,
[06:54] ---
    I hid here and waited to revitalize.
[06:57] ---
    That's why you asked me for help.
[06:59] ---
    Yes.
[07:00] ---
    You're the best ghost doctor in the world.
[07:02] ---
    The poison was being
    accumulated over a long time.
[07:04] ---
    I didn't think other doctors could cure me.
[07:06] ---
    So I asked someone to buy
    paper talismans in Ingot Hall,
[07:09] ---
    hoping something might work.
[07:12] ---
    I waited for you for half a
    year but you never showed up.
[07:14] ---
    I thought you'd never come.
[07:17] ---
    Amitabha.
[07:19] ---
    Buddha believes all lives are created equal.
[07:21] ---
    As a spirit himself,
[07:22] ---
    how could Lord Autumn bully others like that?
[07:24] ---
    It's too much.
[07:26] ---
    I guess you've suffered a lot
[07:27] ---
    when living on the bank.
[07:30] ---
    It's fine.
[07:31] ---
    Lord Autumn doesn't care
    who live on the bank.
[07:33] ---
    He'll just take away some
    small animals that pass by.
[07:37] ---
    Look, just like that.
[07:39] ---
    Gungun!
[07:41] ---
    Hold on, Gungun! I'm coming for you!
[07:43] ---
    Come back!
[07:44] ---
    Jinghua Marsh is unfathomable.
[07:45] ---
    No one can survive if they fall into it.
[07:53] ---
    Miss Tao Yao,
[07:54] ---
    isn't the monk your friend?
[07:56] ---
    Why don't you help him out?
[07:59] ---
    I will.
[08:01] ---
    I will for sure.
[08:03] ---
    Wait...
[08:08] ---
    But someone else will do it for me.
[08:27] ---
    Hi, there!
[08:30] ---
    Tao Yao, how could you treat us like that?
[08:32] ---
    You might have lost Gungun and me forever!
[08:56] ---
    Don't look at me like that. You acted alone.
[08:59] ---
    It was not something you helped me to do.
[09:01] ---
    Who cares?
[09:02] ---
    You mean girl!
[09:04] ---
    Little monk!
[09:05] ---
    If you ever acted recklessly again,
[09:07] ---
    I'd make you suffer
[09:08] ---
    Humph!
[09:08] ---
    till you die!
[09:24] ---
    Amitabha.
[09:26] ---
    Mr. Liu always comes and goes in haste.
[09:29] ---
    I didn't even have time to thank him.
[09:33] ---
    Is this Lord Autumn?
[09:36] ---
    Yes, it's him.
[09:38] ---
    But he was larger and meaner before,
[09:39] ---
    and he bit everyone he met.
[09:41] ---
    He's just a loach spirit.
[09:43] ---
    He's lost all his cultivation
    and can't do bad things anymore.
[09:46] ---
    But you sucked.
[09:48] ---
    You are a fairy.
[09:49] ---
    Why were you bullied by a spirit
    that was inferior to you?
[09:52] ---
    What options did I have?
[09:53] ---
    Marsh Fairies can only travel fast.
[09:55] ---
    We are capable of nothing else.
[09:58] ---
    Then why didn't leave for another place,
[10:00] ---
    which is better and more beautiful?
[10:05] ---
    I'm waiting for someone.
[10:17] ---
    I've known the boy
[10:19] ---
    for a long time.
[10:22] ---
    He used to visit me at Jinghua Marsh often.
[10:24] ---
    He was my best friend.
[10:29] ---
    However...
[10:35] ---
    Take more clothes with you.
[10:36] ---
    It's cold in the north.
[10:38] ---
    My mom made the padded jacket by hand.
[10:39] ---
    It's warm.
[10:40] ---
    Take it with you.
[10:49] ---
    My dad told me that
[10:51] ---
    I might not return to
    Lizhou City in the future.
[10:54] ---
    My second uncle is running
    a good business there.
[10:57] ---
    So he wants my parents and
    me to live there, too.
[11:02] ---
    It's great.
[11:10] ---
    My uncle said in his letter
[11:12] ---
    he arranged the marriage
[11:13] ---
    for me there.
[11:19] ---
    Good.
[11:25] ---
    So...
[11:27] ---
    See you.
[11:31] ---
    Do you have something to tell me?
[11:51] ---
    Take care.
[12:19] ---
    At any time,
[12:21] ---
    if you ask me to come back,
[12:23] ---
    I'll return no matter how far away I am.
[13:10] ---
    It was the last time he saw Xiao Yu.
[13:13] ---
    He used to beam at others a lot.
[13:15] ---
    After Xiao Yu had left,
[13:17] ---
    he became a different person.
[13:26] ---
    You didn't bring your date today?
[13:28] ---
    Where is the young lady?
[13:31] ---
    She doesn't live here anymore.
[13:33] ---
    Oh...
[13:34] ---
    She has moved away.
[13:36] ---
    I thought you would buy the
    newest bracelet in my store.
[13:39] ---
    What a pity!
[13:40] ---
    I may need to close the
    store earlier from now on.
[14:08] ---
    It's...
[14:09] ---
    ...for you.
[14:11] ---
    Though it's cheap,
[14:14] ---
    I hope you'll like it.
[14:17] ---
    Thank you.
[14:19] ---
    I'll cherish it.
[14:28] ---
    Sorry.
[14:30] ---
    Look! Fireworks!
[14:52] ---
    How beautiful!
[14:54] ---
    Jinghua Marsh
[14:56] ---
    may be the most beautiful place
[14:57] ---
    in Lizhou City.
[15:00] ---
    I'm not sure
[15:02] ---
    if I can see the view with you in the future.
[15:06] ---
    Why didn't you ask her to stay?
[15:09] ---
    It's difficult for you to see Xiao Yu again
[15:10] ---
    after she has left.
[15:13] ---
    Marsh Fairy...
[15:14] ---
    Why?
[15:15] ---
    You love her very much.
[15:17] ---
    Why didn't you ask her to stay?
[15:22] ---
    I can't give her
[15:23] ---
    what she needs the most.
[15:25] ---
    Why disturb her life?
[15:28] ---
    She may find her happiness
[15:29] ---
    in the new place.
[15:31] ---
    Is it because you're not wealthy?
[15:35] ---
    Well, you're impecunious.
[15:38] ---
    It's not about money.
[15:39] ---
    You fairies won't understand.
[15:42] ---
    So,
[15:43] ---
    don't ask about it.
[15:44] ---
    But...
[15:45] ---
    What if you regret it one day?
[15:50] ---
    Xiao Yu said
[15:52] ---
    if I asked her to come back,
[15:54] ---
    she'd return
[15:56] ---
    no matter how far away
[15:58] ---
    she was.
[16:00] ---
    That's great!
[16:01] ---
    I've told you that
[16:02] ---
    Marsh Fairies can travel
    1,000 miles in one day.
[16:06] ---
    I know.
[16:08] ---
    Thank you for your kind offer.
[16:09] ---
    If I miss her some day,
[16:12] ---
    I'll ask you to send a letter to her.
[16:15] ---
    Good.
[16:16] ---
    Now we've got a deal.
[16:17] ---
    Come meet me at Jinghua Marsh.
[16:20] ---
    I'll wait for you.
[16:25] ---
    OK.
[16:30] ---
    On that night, he sat at
    Jinghua Marsh for a long time.
[16:34] ---
    He said he'd moved on.
[16:36] ---
    But all he talked about was Xiao Yu.
[16:40] ---
    I knew that
[16:41] ---
    he missed her very much.
[16:43] ---
    So I'll be right here waiting for him.
[16:46] ---
    Till the moment he wants
    to contact her again.
[16:48] ---
    I will deliver his letter to her.
[16:50] ---
    I want to see him start
    a family with Xiao Yu.
[16:52] ---
    and live happily ever after.
[16:56] ---
    Maybe...
[16:58] ---
    It's what I'm meant to do.
[17:02] ---
    But many years passed by.
[17:05] ---
    He hasn't come back yet.
[17:11] ---
    Now Jinghua Marsh has dried up
[17:14] ---
    and no one comes here to enjoy the flowers.
[17:17] ---
    But I'm still waiting for him.
[17:20] ---
    You've waited for more than
    10 years for that reason?
[17:23] ---
    It's longer than that.
[17:25] ---
    It's a few decades.
[17:27] ---
    Amitabha.
[17:29] ---
    You've got some Zen's wisdom now.
[17:31] ---
    Have you ever thought about leaving?
[17:36] ---
    If I left here,
[17:38] ---
    no one could deliver letters for him
[17:39] ---
    when he came back.
[17:44] ---
    That's why I have to live longer!
[17:46] ---
    Miss Tao Yao, please help me!
[17:51] ---
    You little fairies.
[17:53] ---
    Have you gone nuts?
[17:55] ---
    Maybe he would never come back again.
[17:59] ---
    I thought about it.
[18:00] ---
    But what if he comes back one day?
[18:05] ---
    Forget it.
[18:06] ---
    I'd go nuts if I asked you more about it.
[18:12] ---
    I can help you.
[18:13] ---
    But rules are rules.
[18:15] ---
    Sign here with your thumb.
[18:24] ---
    From now on,
[18:25] ---
    you're one of my medicines.
[18:26] ---
    Got it?
[18:27] ---
    Yes.
[18:31] ---
    Wang Village.
[18:34] ---
    The boy Marsh Fairy is waiting for
[18:35] ---
    lived here, right?
[18:38] ---
    Miss.
[18:40] ---
    Didn't you go to Jinghua Marsh?
[18:41] ---
    What brings you here?
[18:43] ---
    We've been there. Now we're back.
[18:45] ---
    I told you the place was desolate.
[18:47] ---
    Jinghua Marsh has dried up
[18:49] ---
    since a dye house was built upstream.
[18:52] ---
    What a shame!
[18:54] ---
    No fish lives there at all now.
[18:58] ---
    Are you still missing my fishes?
[19:00] ---
    Mr. Miao took it home.
[19:02] ---
    Does Mr. Miao
[19:04] ---
    have freckles on his face
[19:06] ---
    and love to eat fish?
[19:07] ---
    Yes.
[19:08] ---
    I fell into a well three years ago
[19:10] ---
    and Mr. Miao saved me.
[19:12] ---
    It's weird.
[19:13] ---
    He didn't take our "thank-you gift"
[19:15] ---
    but asked me to deliver fishes every month.
[19:17] ---
    For three years?
[19:18] ---
    That's 36 months!
[19:20] ---
    You've been doing it all the time?
[19:21] ---
    Yes.
[19:22] ---
    My grandma tells me to be an honest guy.
[19:24] ---
    I should keep my promises.
[19:27] ---
    I never expected I'd meet
    someone so silly here.
[19:30] ---
    Miss, what did you say?
[19:32] ---
    Nothing.
[19:34] ---
    We want to visit the village.
[19:35] ---
    Could you show us around?
[19:37] ---
    Sure.
[19:38] ---
    My grandma will be happy to see you.
[19:40] ---
    This way, please.
[19:43] ---
    Tao Yao,
[19:44] ---
    you've solved the problem.
[19:46] ---
    Why are we visiting the village?
[19:49] ---
    Take it easy.
[19:50] ---
    I haven't written the real prescription yet.
