**[00:22] ---**
Today's lunch is ginger fish soup.
**[00:25] ---**
It's made with three-year-old ginger and ten-year-old fish.
**[00:34] ---**
Young master.
**[00:35] ---**
What poison is that?
**[00:36] ---**
You owe Zhang some wages.
**[00:38] ---**
You just got out
**[00:39] ---**
so I haven't had time to tell you yet.
**[00:41] ---**
Zhang has resigned.
**[00:43] ---**
It's Mr. Liu who's working in the kitchen now.
**[00:46] ---**
What?
**[00:47] ---**
The kitchen is like the battlefield.
**[00:48] ---**
How can you just give it to another person?
**[00:50] ---**
I should eat out every day,
**[00:52] ---**
and keep you waiting like a bunch of widows.
**[00:56] ---**
Young master,
**[00:57] ---**
please don't say that.
**[01:00] ---**
What's wrong with you?
**[01:09] ---**
This is Tao Yao's.
**[01:11] ---**
The little monk's.
**[01:12] ---**
The little fox's.
**[01:31] ---**
What is it?
**[01:33] ---**
Sir.
**[01:34] ---**
This is the kitchen.
**[01:38] ---**
I know it.
**[01:43] ---**
It's my territory.
**[01:45] ---**
I'll be cooking today.
**[01:46] ---**
If you decide to stay,
**[01:47] ---**
you can watch
**[01:48] ---**
but not touch anything.
**[01:50] ---**
I won't leave.
**[02:05] ---**
People who eat with you
**[02:06] ---**
are either family or friends.
**[02:09] ---**
No matter how simple the ingredients are,
**[02:10] ---**
you need to treat them
**[02:12] ---**
like they are the one you love.
**[02:18] ---**
I'm sure you never loved anyone.
**[02:20] ---**
I had a first love!
**[02:23] ---**
You mean Tao Yao who drools over me every day?
**[02:26] ---**
I'm not even sure she's female.
**[02:28] ---**
If you really like her,
**[02:29] ---**
I can try to bring you together
**[02:31] ---**
to break your destiny of being single.
**[02:41] ---**
Why is it still not done?
**[02:42] ---**
I'm starving!
**[02:44] ---**
Sir.
**[02:45] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[02:47] ---**
What else? This is the kitchen.
**[02:49] ---**
I'm looking for food.
**[02:50] ---**
You are right on time.
**[02:51] ---**
Take this to the dinning room.
**[02:57] ---**
Sir.
**[02:58] ---**
Can I also eat with them in the dinning room?
**[03:02] ---**
Your share is here.
**[03:05] ---**
Leave it to Moya and Rolly.
**[03:06] ---**
They like it.
**[03:08] ---**
They are not here.
**[03:09] ---**
That's right.
**[03:10] ---**
They ate your porridge in the morning
**[03:11] ---**
and became very happy.
**[03:12] ---**
So they went out to have fun.
**[03:15] ---**
Look, the youth came back in my arms
**[03:19] ---**
The tough journey turned out to be a lovely memory
**[03:23] ---**
Glory of the world makes life meaningless
**[03:27] ---**
What is the difference between a demon and a Buddha
**[03:30] ---**
If their hearts are both as pure as lotus flowers
**[03:44] ---**
We don't need to eat the things Mr. Liu cooked
**[03:47] ---**
and can have fun out here.
**[03:49] ---**
This is the best thing I can imagine.
**[03:52] ---**
Tao Yao said that
**[03:53] ---**
it's your last wish to see this flourishing world.
**[03:56] ---**
Now let's see as much as we want.
**[04:07] ---**
Alright.
**[04:08] ---**
Two vegetable buns please.
**[04:10] ---**
In the capital,
**[04:12] ---**
even the buns are bigger and whiter.
**[04:14] ---**
They are twice the size of the regular buns.
**[04:22] ---**
You shrew!
**[04:23] ---**
How could you pour your footbath water on me!
**[04:31] ---**
Rent should be paid for 3 months, with a deposit of one month.
**[04:32] ---**
I have the contract here.
**[04:33] ---**
You want to deny it?
**[04:35] ---**
You'll have a taste of my footbath water.
**[04:40] ---**
Rolly, stop eating.
**[04:44] ---**
There's a ghost in the room.
**[04:45] ---**
I was almost frightened to death!
**[04:46] ---**
You should compensate me
**[04:47] ---**
instead of asking for the rent!
**[04:49] ---**
Nonsense!
**[04:49] ---**
I just bought this house.
**[04:51] ---**
I even hired a geomancer for it.
**[04:53] ---**
If you ask me,
**[04:54] ---**
the ghost is in your heart!
**[04:57] ---**
Buns are not important.
**[05:14] ---**
You...
**[05:15] ---**
Am I right, guys?
**[05:16] ---**
Who would rent a room that's haunted?
**[05:18] ---**
He just wants to refuse to pay the rent.
**[05:20] ---**
If it's really haunted,
**[05:22] ---**
I would never live in it.
**[05:22] ---**
That's right.
**[05:23] ---**
Life is far more important than money.
**[05:24] ---**
I know.
**[05:28] ---**
Amitabha.
**[05:29] ---**
I'll buy you some more buns next time.
**[05:31] ---**
You are the one!
**[05:32] ---**
Guys,
**[05:33] ---**
I'll put this little monk up for tonight.
**[05:36] ---**
If he also thinks it's haunted,
**[05:38] ---**
I'll compensate you with a month's rent!
**[05:39] ---**
What do you say?
**[05:41] ---**
I hope you can keep your word.
**[05:44] ---**
Lady,
**[05:45] ---**
it's getting late,
**[05:46] ---**
and my family are waiting for me.
**[05:48] ---**
As a monk, you should help people in need.
**[05:50] ---**
Now my sister is stigmatized.
**[05:52] ---**
If nobody dares to rent her house,
**[05:54] ---**
she'll be starving to death.
**[05:56] ---**
Amitabha.
**[05:58] ---**
There are so many people here.
**[06:00] ---**
Why does it have to be me?
**[06:02] ---**
Because monks don't lie.
**[06:04] ---**
They'll only trust your words.
**[06:07] ---**
Am I right, guys?
**[06:09] ---**
You are right.
**[06:12] ---**
But I have to go home for dinner.
**[06:14] ---**
Dinner is on me.
**[06:15] ---**
But...
**[06:16] ---**
And I'll give you 50 buns for free.
**[06:17] ---**
Charge it to my account.
**[06:25] ---**
Well...
**[06:27] ---**
Little monk.
**[06:28] ---**
I've sent someone to take a message to your family.
**[06:30] ---**
We'll have a vegan meal for dinner tonight.
**[06:33] ---**
Let me tell you.
**[06:35] ---**
It's hard to do business nowadays.
**[06:37] ---**
This house cost me all my money.
**[06:40] ---**
If that scholar ruins my reputation,
**[06:42] ---**
my whole family will be doomed.
**[06:44] ---**
You must help me.
**[06:48] ---**
I've had your food,
**[06:50] ---**
of course I'll help you.
**[06:52] ---**
I take pleasure
**[06:53] ---**
in helping people.
**[06:56] ---**
With Buddha in my heart,
**[06:57] ---**
I fear no ghost.
**[07:02] ---**
I think this room is pretty good.
**[07:04] ---**
It's old
**[07:06] ---**
but pretty tidy.
**[07:09] ---**
Time to sleep.
**[07:11] ---**
We'll be able
**[07:12] ---**
to go home tomorrow.
**[07:24] ---**
It's so cold.
**[07:27] ---**
It's so cold.
**[07:30] ---**
It's so cold.
**[07:33] ---**
It's so cold.
**[07:55] ---**
Amitabha. Amitabha.
**[07:57] ---**
You shouldn't wake up people
**[07:58] ---**
who are asleep.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm talking to you.
**[08:07] ---**
You can see me?
**[08:15] ---**
Fox.
**[08:22] ---**
Fox.
**[08:25] ---**
Where are you from?
**[08:26] ---**
Why are you scaring me here so late at night?
**[08:31] ---**
How come there's a fox here?
**[08:33] ---**
Don't bite me. I'm afraid of pain.
**[08:36] ---**
Don't be afraid.
**[08:37] ---**
It won't bite you.
**[08:38] ---**
He doesn't even eat a chicken.
**[08:40] ---**
Really?
**[08:42] ---**
Amitabha.
**[08:43] ---**
Monks never lie.
**[08:46] ---**
I'm relieved.
**[08:49] ---**
Aren't your feet cold?
**[08:51] ---**
Put the shoes on.
**[08:53] ---**
Cold is the worst feeling in the world.
**[08:58] ---**
Hey,
**[09:00] ---**
you haven't answered my question yet.
**[09:02] ---**
If you have some difficulties,
**[09:03] ---**
you can tell me about them.
**[09:05] ---**
OK.
**[09:14] ---**
The autumn night is cold.
**[09:15] ---**
You are wearing too little.
**[09:17] ---**
Come on, put these on.
**[09:20] ---**
Don't bother.
**[09:21] ---**
Even if you put all the blankets in the world over me,
**[09:24] ---**
I'll still be cold.
**[09:27] ---**
Is this some kind of weird disease?
**[09:29] ---**
Maybe.
**[09:37] ---**
Stop it
**[09:38] ---**
or I'll give you the food Mr. Liu cooked every day.
**[09:41] ---**
He has a good nose.
**[09:43] ---**
Did you bring something delicious?
**[09:49] ---**
I only have this.
**[09:55] ---**
That is...
**[09:57] ---**
Put the light out.
**[10:08] ---**
It's beautiful!
**[10:11] ---**
It's fish-lamb herb.
**[10:12] ---**
It's a gift.
**[10:15] ---**
A gift? For whom?
**[10:18] ---**
Luo Xixi.
**[10:21] ---**
Can I hold your hand?
**[10:38] ---**
I just don't know
**[10:39] ---**
what spirits like you are thinking,
**[10:41] ---**
Why do you have to turn into lost children to hold people's hands?
**[10:44] ---**
You don't understand.
**[10:45] ---**
You tree spirits need sunshine and rain to grow well,
**[10:49] ---**
but we can only get power from the hands of humans.
**[10:55] ---**
Can I hold your hand?
**[11:04] ---**
I failed to hold any hand today.
**[11:10] ---**
It's so cold.
**[11:20] ---**
Do you want to hold my hand?
**[11:53] ---**
Are you OK?
**[12:00] ---**
I can't believe there are parents like yours.
**[12:02] ---**
How can they let you hang around alone like this?
**[12:10] ---**
Where is your home?
**[12:18] ---**
Why are you not speaking?
**[12:19] ---**
Are you scared?
**[12:21] ---**
My home is
**[12:23] ---**
there.
**[12:25] ---**
OK.
**[12:26] ---**
You'll be better soon this way.
**[12:31] ---**
Can you walk?
**[12:34] ---**
What are you waiting for?
**[12:34] ---**
I'll take you home.
**[12:38] ---**
OK.
**[12:46] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[12:48] ---**
But my parents don't like strangers.
**[12:51] ---**
You can leave me here.
**[12:52] ---**
OK, but remember,
**[12:54] ---**
you can't wander around like this again, OK?
**[12:55] ---**
OK.
**[12:57] ---**
Wait.
**[12:59] ---**
You'll be spanked
**[13:01] ---**
if you go home with such a dirty face.
**[13:03] ---**
Alright. Go now.
**[13:18] ---**
I wish I'd meet her again.
**[13:40] ---**
Why are you out alone again?
**[13:42] ---**
I...
**[13:45] ---**
What are you doing?
**[13:47] ---**
Are you carving something?
**[13:51] ---**
It's my name.
**[13:53] ---**
Your name?
**[13:55] ---**
Luo Xixi.
**[13:56] ---**
My name is Luo Xixi.
**[13:58] ---**
Luo Xixi.
**[14:00] ---**
Your hand...
**[14:02] ---**
It's OK. Just a scratch.
**[14:06] ---**
Wait. Maybe
**[14:07] ---**
I can bind it up for you
**[14:09] ---**
to thank you for last time.
**[14:18] ---**
What about your wound?
**[14:19] ---**
Is it better?
**[14:20] ---**
Yeah, it's almost recovered,
**[14:22] ---**
thanks to you.
**[14:23] ---**
Now you can recover quickly.
**[14:30] ---**
What is it?
**[14:32] ---**
You hand
**[14:33] ---**
is so cold.
**[14:36] ---**
Cold?
**[14:37] ---**
When a person is sad,
**[14:39] ---**
his hands get sad, too,
**[14:41] ---**
and then they'll become cold.
**[14:44] ---**
You can tell?
**[14:46] ---**
You are really sad?
**[14:48] ---**
Why don't you tell me about it?
**[14:50] ---**
Maybe it'll make you feel better.
**[14:56] ---**
My master refused to teach me any longer.
**[14:58] ---**
He said I didn't have the potential to become a famous cook.
**[15:01] ---**
Famous cook?
**[15:04] ---**
I wanted to cook delicious dishes
**[15:07] ---**
and watch people eat my dishes happily.
**[15:10] ---**
So I took a famous cook as my master
**[15:11] ---**
and followed him for three years.
**[15:13] ---**
But he just took me as a free maid
**[15:16] ---**
who has no talent at all.
**[15:17] ---**
He never really taught me.
**[15:20] ---**
But he said
**[15:21] ---**
if I could defeat my senior fellow apprentices in the cooking competition seven days later,
**[15:25] ---**
he'd take back what he said
**[15:26] ---**
and teach me all his skills.
**[15:29] ---**
That sounds like a good chance.
**[15:33] ---**
Good chance?
**[15:35] ---**
My master taught my senior fellow apprentices a lot
**[15:37] ---**
and they are way better than me.
**[15:39] ---**
How can I win?
**[15:41] ---**
That old fart just needed an excuse to kick me out.
**[15:45] ---**
That's why you are sad?
**[15:51] ---**
I heard from an old master that
**[15:53] ---**
there's a kind of herb called fish-lamb herb in the Hundred-herb Valley
**[15:56] ---**
which glows at night.
**[15:58] ---**
Even the worst cook
**[15:59] ---**
can make the most delicious food with it.
**[16:03] ---**
So I'm here for it.
**[16:05] ---**
But there's no fish-lamb herb at all.
**[16:07] ---**
That was a lie
**[16:09] ---**
but I believed it.
**[16:11] ---**
Since that path is so bumpy,
**[16:14] ---**
why don't you change your goal?
**[16:16] ---**
Why do you have to be a famous cook?
**[16:24] ---**
I...
**[16:28] ---**
Sis.
**[16:30] ---**
Sis.
**[16:31] ---**
I'm here.
**[16:32] ---**
It hurts.
**[16:33] ---**
It's OK. It'll be better soon.
**[16:36] ---**
I want food.
**[16:38] ---**
I want to eat the food you cooked.
**[16:42] ---**
Cook for me
**[16:43] ---**
after I have recovered.
**[16:45] ---**
OK?
**[16:55] ---**
Forget it.
**[16:56] ---**
It's meaningless to tell you this.
**[16:57] ---**
Come on, I'll send you home.
**[16:59] ---**
Aren't you gonna continue looking for the fish-lamb herb?
**[17:02] ---**
It doesn't exist.
**[17:05] ---**
I'll ask my parents later.
**[17:07] ---**
Maybe they know something.
**[17:08] ---**
Three days later,
**[17:10] ---**
I'll wait for you here
**[17:11] ---**
and tell you the result.
**[17:14] ---**
Little boy,
**[17:15] ---**
you are a good kid.
**[17:20] ---**
I'll send you home.
**[17:28] ---**
Just stop here.
**[17:29] ---**
Little boy,
**[17:30] ---**
if I really become a good cook,
**[17:32] ---**
I'll make you a big meal.
**[17:34] ---**
Yeah. OK.
**[17:36] ---**
When your parents take you into town,
**[17:37] ---**
you can come to visit me.
**[17:39] ---**
I live on the top floor of the small building at the entrance of Lizi Alley.
**[17:41] ---**
The room on the south.
**[17:43] ---**
I got it.
**[17:45] ---**
Goodbye,
**[17:46] ---**
OK. Bye.
**[17:48] ---**
Don't forget to come in three days.
**[18:00] ---**
The Hundred-herb Valley
**[18:02] ---**
is full of
**[18:03] ---**
fish-lamb herbs.
**[18:05] ---**
But only spirits can touch them.
**[18:07] ---**
They hide themselves when they smell humans.
**[18:10] ---**
They are usually in...
**[18:12] ---**
The woods by the creek.
**[18:17] ---**
But
**[18:18] ---**
don't let the fish-lamb herb be touched by two or more people,
**[18:22] ---**
or it'll turn to ashes.
**[18:26] ---**
Yeah. OK.
**[18:27] ---**
She'll come for it in three days.
**[18:30] ---**
And at that time,
**[18:32] ---**
I'll wait for her at the appointed place.
**[18:34] ---**
However,
**[18:36] ---**
it's dusk
**[18:37] ---**
and dawn again,
**[18:39] ---**
but she didn't show up.
**[18:42] ---**
Maybe she'll come tomorrow.
**[18:48] ---**
Tomorrow...
**[18:50] ---**
Tomorrow...
**[18:51] ---**
Tomorrow...
**[18:54] ---**
Tomorrow...
**[18:57] ---**
Tomorrow...
**[18:59] ---**
Tomorrow...
**[19:02] ---**
I waited for numerous days,
**[19:04] ---**
but she never showed up,
**[19:07] ---**
like she was never in the Hundred-herb Valley.
**[19:20] ---**
Lizi Alley...
**[19:21] ---**
That building...
**[19:22] ---**
Ah, the wind doesn't know
**[19:29] ---**
The moon does not listen
**[19:31] ---**
Lizi Alley...
**[19:31] ---**
To the sound of the lyre in the window
**[19:34] ---**
That building...
**[19:34] ---**
Destiny is hard to control, water is missing
**[19:38] ---**
Lizi Alley...
**[19:42] ---**
Frost doesn't know
**[19:43] ---**
Lizi Alley...
**[19:46] ---**
How to bid farewell
**[19:48] ---**
Ah, the wind doesn't know
**[19:54] ---**
The room in the corner on the third floor.
**[19:55] ---**
The table and walls there are covered in cutting marks.
**[19:56] ---**
The moon does not listen
**[19:57] ---**
It's terrifying.
**[19:58] ---**
It's said that there lived a girl who wanted to be a cook,
**[19:58] ---**
To the sound of the lyre in the window
**[20:00] ---**
and those marks are from a kitchen knife.
**[20:00] ---**
Destiny is hard to control,
**[20:01] ---**
The landlord promised
**[20:02] ---**
to give us a new room the next month.
**[20:02] ---**
water is missing
**[20:06] ---**
Green leaves diminish red flowers
**[20:09] ---**
Frost doesn't know
**[20:10] ---**
Luo Xixi.
**[20:12] ---**
Luo Xixi.
**[20:13] ---**
I brought the fish-lamb herb.
**[20:13] ---**
How to bid farewell
**[20:17] ---**
They don't know
**[20:21] ---**
They don't know
**[20:24] ---**
They don't know
**[20:27] ---**
They don't know
**[20:28] ---**
Luo Xixi.
**[20:32] ---**
From that day on,
**[20:33] ---**
you never left?
**[20:35] ---**
Actually, I got sick
**[20:38] ---**
right after I left the Hundred-herb Valley.
**[20:40] ---**
Every step I took gave me a lot of pain.
**[20:44] ---**
But I want to give her the fish-lamb herb,
**[20:47] ---**
and that's why I came all the way here.
**[20:49] ---**
But after that day,
**[20:52] ---**
the pain disappeared.
**[20:54] ---**
I just felt cold.
**[20:56] ---**
So cold that I couldn't walk.
**[20:59] ---**
So I had to rest here,
**[21:01] ---**
and gain some energy from holding the hands of the tenants.
**[21:04] ---**
One day,
**[21:08] ---**
I saw a girl passing by from downstairs.
**[21:10] ---**
She looked a lot like her!
**[21:12] ---**
I tried to catch up
**[21:16] ---**
but I found that I couldn't get out.
**[21:20] ---**
That's weird.
**[21:22] ---**
Yeah. That's weird.
**[21:25] ---**
Do you remember how long you have been trapped here?
**[21:29] ---**
I don't.
**[21:31] ---**
I just know that when I came here
**[21:33] ---**
the owner of the shop across the street had black hair,
**[21:35] ---**
but now it's gray.
**[21:40] ---**
If,
**[21:41] ---**
I mean if,
**[21:43] ---**
you can't find Luo Xixi,
**[21:46] ---**
what will you do?
**[21:47] ---**
It's impossible.
**[21:48] ---**
She's waiting for the fish-lamb herb.
**[21:51] ---**
It can't go on like this.
**[21:52] ---**
I'll find someone to cure your disease.
**[21:54] ---**
Who would know how to treat a spirit?
**[21:57] ---**
Wait for me.
**[22:05] ---**
You...
**[22:07] ---**
Someone received your massage
**[22:09] ---**
saying you were living in a haunted house.
**[22:11] ---**
And then he took me here.
**[22:12] ---**
You are my food.
**[22:14] ---**
You can't take risks without my consent.
**[22:16] ---**
You are right on time!
**[22:17] ---**
Save him please!
**[22:25] ---**
I found this in the corner.
**[22:27] ---**
What is it?
**[22:29] ---**
Maybe some tenant felt this room was haunted,
**[22:31] ---**
and got this spirit-suppressing charm from a Taoist priest.
**[22:36] ---**
But...
**[22:38] ---**
You also felt it, didn't you?
**[22:41] ---**
I don't know how to bring the dead back to life.
**[22:43] ---**
Ineffable
**[22:46] ---**
Along the way are spirits ghosts and demons
**[22:51] ---**
Ineffable
**[22:54] ---**
If there is no greed or vice, there will be no good or evil
**[22:59] ---**
Cause or effect
**[23:02] ---**
Flowers bloom at the edge of the cliff
**[23:07] ---**
In the bronze mirror
**[23:10] ---**
The spirit beckons
**[23:16] ---**
Listen, kindness has responded
**[23:19] ---**
So gently that the fangs are no longer scary
**[23:23] ---**
Regardless of how cold they are
**[23:26] ---**
I still hold them in my heart
**[23:28] ---**
Evil minds are like despairing words
**[23:31] ---**
Look, the youth came back in my arms
**[23:35] ---**
The tough journey turned out to be a lovely memory
**[23:39] ---**
Glory of the world makes life meaningless
**[23:44] ---**
I have no fear for demons
**[23:47] ---**
Put down the weapons
**[24:03] ---**
Listen, kindness has responded
**[24:07] ---**
So gently that the fangs are no longer scary
**[24:11] ---**
Regardless of how cold they are, I still hold them in my heart
**[24:16] ---**
Evil minds are like despairing words
**[24:19] ---**
Look, the youth came back in my arms
**[24:24] ---**
The tough journey turned out to be a lovely memory
**[24:28] ---**
Glory of the world makes life meaningless
**[24:32] ---**
What is the difference between a demon and a Buddha
**[24:35] ---**
If their hearts are both as pure as lotus flowers
