The Legend of White Snake

Episode 16

Miss Xiao Qing, why do you look so pale?

Your eyes are red, too.

You must have had too much to drink so you have too much heat in your body.

Wait.

Miss Xiao Qing, I just caught this this morning.

It's fresh gall bladder of a green snake. It's for heat-relieving and detoxifying.

I'm giving this to you. It's complimentary.

Zhang Yutang, take your lousy goods and scram!

What lousy goods?

All these things are top-grade.

I, Zhang Yutang, am a good hunter. I don't trade dishonestly.

My goods are the cheapest and the freshest.

I dare to guarantee that you won't be able to buy such good snake gallbladders out there.

Ridiculous.

When I say they are lousy goods, they are lousy goods!

Don't make me hit you. Leave now!

You are really ignorant. You even insulted the good intentions of others.

To add further, these are the best medicinal goods. How can they be lousy?

If you don't make it clear today, I won't leave. Why would I leave?

I'm going out to take a look.

All right, Physician Xu.

Excuse me.

Xiao Qing, what's going on?

This...

Brother-in-law, he's creating a scene here.

Are you the physician?

Yes.

You came at the right moment. Judge this.

Check my medicines and tell me what you think.

These are quality medicines. They are not bad.

Did you hear that?

There is public opinion on whether these medical ingredients are good or not.

Miss Xiao Qing is a novice at medicinal ingredients. She can't differentiate them.

Please accept our apologies if we have offended you.

Brother, these snake sloughs are not bad. Can you name the price?

- Physician... - You are not allowed to buy these!

"A wooden club as a carrot; Cinnabar as red clay."

Since someone doesn't acknowledge my goods, I won't do business with her even if she gives me money.

Even if you give them to me for free, I won't accept them either.

Give them free to you?

Consider that I misjudged you. You want such good stuff? Dream on!

The famous Baohe Hall of Lin'An is not impressive.

Let's not see each other again.

Zhang Yutang! You think you can climb all over us?

Let's see how I take care of you!

Xiao Qing!

Looks like I need to find another worker.

The color of jasper. Golden eyes.

This is a good snake.

I didn't imagine there would be such a beautiful place in Lin'an city.

I know this place very well.

If you want to view this place in the future, I will show you around.

Thank you, Miss Xiao Qing, for saving my life.

I didn't think too much about it. I just like to do what is right.

I couldn't tell that you were so good at martial arts.

We should learn from each other when we're free.

But... why were you up on the cliff?

We operate a medical hall. Of course, we need to gather herbs.

There is an excellent Golden Dendrobium on the mountain.

In order to save you, that's why I fell from the mountain.

Let's go look for it now.

Come back. What are you looking for?

When I fell from such a high place, I would certainly have lost it.

I will compensate you then.

You... Even if you pawned yourself, you wouldn't be able to trade it for the Golden Dendrobium.

Forget it. Consider me unlucky.

I'll compensate you with ten bottles of Tusu wine.

Ten bottles of Tusu wine?

You, will you keep your words?

I, Zhang Yutang, keep my words.

This rascal is on the right track.

Since you're willing to give away your treasures,

by giving me ten bottles of Tusu wine, and since you're carrying me,

I will be magnanimous and forgive you for doing an immoral deed.

What immoral deed did I do?

You caused me to lose the Golden Dendrobium.

My apologies.

Xiao Qing,

you are different from other girls.

What's the difference?

I don't know how to say this, but you're not like other girls.

They're delicate, reserved, and proper.

But compared to them, you are better at martial arts, can drink, and very loyal.

Anyways, we get along well.

Rotten rascal, you are good at talking.

Hurry up. Quicker.

Move aside!

I waited in line for two hours.

- My legs are sore. - My maid queued up yesterday.

I was ahead of you.

- Who says so? - Move aside.

Ladies, you are fighting with full energy. You don't look sick at all.

Who says so? I feel stuffy in my chest.

For the past few days, I feel that my face and body...

- are rather itchy. - My chest is stuffy.

A stuffy chest requires calm and quietness.

Do not argue so much.

About the itchy face and painful body,

it's almost summer. The sun is very strong.

If you stay in the sun daily, I fear it won't be only your face that itches.

- Who are you? - Who are you?

- My Lady. - His wife?

You are here.

If Older Sister were not here, she wouldn't know how happy you are at work.

Ladies,

this is my wife, Bai Suzhen.

She's also good at medical skills. Let her diagnose you.

A female physician? Can she do it?

That's right.

Ladies, you may not know. When it comes to gynecological diseases,

I'm not as good as my wife.

Hence, if there are any women who want to be treated here, my wife will do the examination.

No need. I don't feel that uncomfortable now.

Let's leave.

Move aside.

Let's go.

- What are they doing? - It's our turn.

Don't hold up our visits.

Whose turn now?

Physician Xu, this is...

[Baihe Hall]

Come.

My Lady.

My Lord, you are so effective at work.

But are you sure about rejecting those young and beautiful ladies?

Who says they are beautiful women? They are like tigers and wolves.

My Lady, you must help me.

Look at you. How can you talk about those ladies in this manner?

Those ladies don't know of people's suffering. They come to Baohe Hall to pass the time.

But this is the medical hall.

If they hinder those wounded and sick patients, they may cause a loss of life.

Among the sick today, there were children who swallowed hard objects

and seniors with asthma attacks.

They were all obstructed by those women.

Fortunately, nothing bad happened.

What you said, makes sense.

Why don't do we do this? Let's add another clause on the notice at the entrance.

If there are urgent cases, they can jump the queue. We will treat them first.

I was thinking about that.

No one knows me better than my wife.

But I could see that those ladies are afraid of me.

If you insist that I treat them,

I fear the sick patients won't be willing to come here.

Don't you find it a pity?

My Lady, please spare me.

You were already renowned when you were in Jishi Hall.

Sick people can't wait to seek treatment from you.

Those insincere people, it's better that they don't come.

Let's do this. I have a solution.

You treat the female patients and I will treat the male patients.

Everyone will be happy this way.

They may be happy but I'm not.

[Yunxuan Pavilion]

Is Miss Xiao Qing here?

So, you are the person who was here to sell the medical ingredients.

I offer an apology on behalf of Miss Xiao Qing.

I'm really very sorry.

No, you misunderstood.

I'm here for a presumptuous request.

This is...

This is my savings for the whole year.

I'm here to buy her slave contract.

If this is not enough, I can gradually make up for this.

One,

two, three?

Just three taels?

These are my savings for me to marry a wife.

Your savings for a wife? Are you willing to part with it?

Yes. I already checked.

The maids at Lin'an can be bought for two taels.

Xiao Qing is so smart. She definitely costs three taels.

I'm only worth just three taels?!

Get lost!

Move aside.

My Lady.

I'm furious. I thought he was a smart person.

I didn't expect him to be so blind.

He... He only thinks that I'm worth three taels?

I really wanted to smash the taels on his face.

Xiao Jing, he was sincere.

What do you mean? He catches snakes.

Zhang Yutang is a snake catcher. He does this for a living. He didn't kill them.

But you are a cultivator who should follow the rules, but you wanted to kill.

You knew it was evil in front of you, but you still wanted to make trouble.

If you do this, you'll be punished by Heaven.

What do you mean by making trouble?

There are so many rules for a human. I might as well just be the demon.

Being human means you gain some but lose some.

When you gain two legs, you must walk straight and sit upright.

If not, why would so many cultivators want to cultivate as a human being?

Xiao Qing, you must endure in order to complete your cultivation.

So, Miss Xiao Qing is your wife's younger sister?

And not a maid?

I have offended you.

Although Miss Xiao Qing is rather hot-tempered,

she's kind-hearted.

Please don't blame her.

I know. Although she is emotional, she's a good person.

It's just that...

Physician Xu, when Xiao Qing is angry, her face changes quicker than flipping a page in a book.

Furthermore, it's without any reasons, too.

I'm guessing. Does she have any illness which has affected her head?

You are a skillful physician, you should take a look at her when you have time.

- Older Sister. - Did you forget what I just said?

But he said there's a problem with my head. He's the one with the problem instead.

You have already scolded him. It's even now.

It's not yet Duanwu Festival (aka Dragon Boat Festival), why are so many people burning mugwort (to avoid demons)?

[Prosperous home from harmony and diligence]

What are you burning?

I bought some Chinese mugwort.

When I went to buy groceries today, many people were buying this.

I heard there's an epidemic in the western part of the city.

Many people were brought down by it. It wasn't easy for me to fight for this small amount.

Why did you come back so early today?

Don't talk about this.

My brothers in the government office are sick, too.

Lord told us not to go there.

There's really an epidemic?

It won't spread to the eastern part of the city, right?

Who can tell?

Enough, keep burning.

- Don't burn so much. - Need more smoke.

What's wrong with him?

He vomited blood.

Is he okay? Is it that serious?

Is he all right? He's having a seizure.

It's too scary.

Physician Xu! Physician Xu! Physician Xu!

Physician Xu, save our shop owner now. He's dying!

Physician Zhao from Hundred Physicians at Zhu Bridge.

Physician Xu, this is an epidemic.

It's infectious via the mouth and nose. It's very aggressive.

Epidemic? Are you saying there's an epidemic in Lin'an city?

Yes. It's already chaos in the western part of the city.

This epidemic spreads very fast.

In less than three days, the eastern part of the city won't be able to do anything either.

Physician Xu, close your medical hall immediately.

But this is when the people need the physician the most. How can I close the medical hall?

I'll first try the Plague Prevention Pill and Melon Shell Nourishing Soup.

It's useless.

I already tried the usual medicines.

There aren't any medicines to treat this epidemic.

Physician Xu! Physician Xu!

There are people who are sick out there. Save them, please!

- Were they infected by the epidemic? - Yes.

My Lord! My Lord!

- Physician Xu! - Get up now!

Please save my husband!

The physician at Jishi Hall has the miracle medicine but the price is too high.

You were from Jishi Hall. You will be able to save my husband.

Jishi Hall?

Is this for real? Can it really treat the disease?

My mom is awake!

You are really a miracle physician. I'm bowing to you.

It really works.

Miracle Physician, here. Thank you.

But it's ten taels. Who can afford it?

But my son is starting to talk nonsense. Even if I go bankrupt, I still need to buy it.

My miracle medicine is especially good at treating infectious diseases.

The medicine can guarantee to cure illness.

If you don't believe me, it's fine. You can try the other medical halls.

If you can't get it cured, you can still find me.

But it will be ten taels and not a single coin less.

When did this Physician Wang come to Jishi Hall?

I heard he was traveling to Lin'An.

Let's consult Physician Xu first.

Pinellia Agastache Soup.

Ginseng Monkshood Nourishing Soup.

Dirt Removing Powder.

These formulas can't be used.

How can I make the concoction to find the solution for this disease?

Chinese gentian?

My Lord.

- My Lady. - You won't be able to find the solution for this disease right away.

You should rest early.

My Lady, this epidemic spreads very fast. I'm very worried.

You are tired from working the whole night. You should rest now.

By the way, you and Xiao Qing should stop coming to the medical hall tomorrow.

Just me is enough.

How can you say this like I'm an outsider?

I'm your wife.

I can't leave you here alone.

I am also a physician, and I should not run away from my duty.

- But... - You are lacking manpower now.

You are busy and won't be able to handle it alone. Don't be polite with me.

With a wife like you, what else do I need?

Carry my husband out!

Quickly!

What are you doing?

He can't be cured here.

I might as well send him to Jishi Hall.

Stop talking nonsense to him.

If we are late, the medicine at Jishi Hall will be sold out.

Wait!

She just said that Jishi Hall has a miracle medicine?

Physician Xu,

it's not that we don't trust you, but nothing has changed here.

It's best that we change to another medical hall.

Could Jishi Hall really have a miracle medicine?

This is good, too.

The people in Lin'an can be saved.

Looks like the Wang Daoling that Ruyi hired

is really capable.

But we can't afford it.

Aren't you sending the sick patients to Jishi Hall?

The miracle medicine at Jishi Hall

has already increased to thirty taels.

We really can't afford it.

It's too expensive.

Thirty taels? Isn't this daylight robbery?

How can normal people afford this?

That physician at Jishi Hall holds on to the miracle formula;

he's already made a ton of money.

Physician Xu, you were from Jishi Hall.

You can come up with this formula, too. Right?

Jishi Hall is making unjust profits from this miracle medicine.

I'm going to persuade her.

Ruyi, now we have money.

why don't we get married soon?

We only received earnings for a month.

It's only enough to fill in the losses from previous months.

It's not a problem. I will raise the price to one hundred taels tomorrow.

I guarantee you will be rich soon.

Wouldn't this kind of earned money scald your hands?

Xu Xian?

What are you doing here today?

You can see that everyone in Lin'an is here to buy my medicine.

I have been accepting money until my hands are tired.

If there's nothing else, I won't keep you here.

Ruyi, the situation is critical.

I hope you will help

by reducing the price of the medicine.

Based on what?

Who are you to me?

If you tell me to reduce the price, I will do it?

Do you think it's that easy for Daoling to concoct this medicine?

That's right. You think it's that easy?

Ruyi, when a virtuous man makes money, he'll follow a principled way.

Master Jin liked money, too.

But he wouldn't earn it in such an unjust fashion.

A physician is humane. I hope you won't stain the reputation of Jishi Hall.

Who gives you the rights to mention my father?

Now that I have a prosperous future,

you still want to cut my path to wealth?

These are the formulas for the medicines I took years to research.

I hope to exchange these for the formula of your medicine.

Didn't you learn the formulas and medical skills from my father?

You are now using the items from the Jin family to trade for the formula for treating the epidemic.

But if you want the formula for the medicine, it's possible, too.

You only need to do something.

If I can do it, I will agree.

Write a divorce letter and get rid of Bai Suzhen.

I will let you have the formula immediately.

Ruyi, Suzhen doesn't have any enmity against you.

Why must you go against her?

I'm happy with it.

If you want to protect her, I insist on going against her.

Do you want the lives of the people of Lin'an or do you want your wife?

Make your choice.

How could you turn out like this?

Anyway, I have spoken.

If you don't want to divorce your wife,

the death of those people

will be caused by the both of you.

You are unreasonable.

Older Sister.

Older Sister, do you think Physician Xu will be able to obtain that medicine to cure the disease?

Ruyi is very stubborn. She won't give it that easily to him.

Perhaps, she may even make some unreasonable requests.

What should we do then?

Ruyi has never studied medical skills.

How could she have suddenly concocted such a formula?

This...

My Lord.

What's wrong with you?

Are you okay?

My Lady.

Don't touch me. I may have been infected.

Xiao Qing, help him up.

Older Sister, is he really infected?

What should we do?

Once he's infected with this disease,

there won't be any medicine which can save him ten days later.

I must save him.

What do you plan to do?

Go to Jishi Hall.

Older Sister, are you crazy?

Ruyi hates you very much.

If you go and get the medicine, wouldn't you be humiliating yourself?

Xiao Qing, take good care of him.

I will be back soon.

Miss Ruyi.

You people from Baihe Hall are really strange.

One just left and another is here.

Are you done with this?

Miss Ruyi, I want to buy the miracle medicine.

Sorry, we are closed for today.

It involves a life. Please go easy on me.

Don't think that I don't know what you are up to.

You are trying to steal our formula.

Dream on.

Miss Ruyi, name your price.

If I say 1,000 or 10,000 taels, do you have it?

Why don't we do this?

Be my maid for a year.

Do the laundry, cook, mop the floor and fetch the water.

Even if you are more stupid than Yinxiang,

because of Brother Hanwen, I will use you.

A year is not long.

It's not too hard to earn dozens of taels of silver.

It's just that I don't know how long my husband will last.

Your husband?

Are you saying that Older Brother Hanwen is sick?

Without the antidote, I fear he won't live past tonight.

Wang Daoling! Wang Daoling!

Coming!

What's wrong, Ruyi?

Bring the miracle medicine here.

Hurry up.

Ruyi, we can't give this to Baihe Hall.

There are only three bottles left.

Cut the crap. Bring it here.

If you help him, will he think of you?

Give it to me.

It's more urgent to save his life.

Take this.

Thank you very much, Miss Ruyi.

Go now.

Between him and me,

do I still need words of thanks?

My Lord, you are awake.

I'll get some water for you.

My Lady.

I have made you suffer.

Do you feel better?

I feel much better.

Your medical skill is really very advanced.

I'm also helpless to cure your illness.

I got the miracle medicine from Jishi Hall.

Luckily, it's true that it works just as they say.

It indeed cured the illness.

Miracle medicine?

My Lady.

- Come. - My Lady.

Show it to me.

My Lady,

when did you use this on me?

How much dosage did you use?

How long did it take me to regain consciousness after taking this?

I fed this to you last night.

It's just that I don't know what the ingredients are for this miracle medicine.

What did you find out after trying this medicine?

Even for a miracle medicine,

the effect should be gradual.

But only a bottle can cure the disease.

It doesn't seem like it's medicine.

Maybe it's detoxifying powder.

This odor is unique.

It's not made from herbs.

It's more like something from ground mineral rocks.

A medicine which helps to expel pestilences.

But minerals...

can detoxify.

My Lady.

If the miracle medicine is really for detoxification,

those people may not have a disease.

They were poisoned instead.

Poisoned?

This is not right.

If it's really poisoning from the epidemic,

how did Jishi Hall

discover this kind of epidemic poisoning?

How did they concoct this antidote, too?

My Lord, you just recovered from a serious illness.

You should rest more.

Older Sister,

is Mister Xu awake?

He just fell asleep.

Xiao Qing, can you help me with something?

Come with me to a place.

Older Sister, where are you going?

To investigate this epidemic

and check if it's caused by Heaven or man made.

The weather is dry, beware of fire.

The weather is dry, beware of fire.

The weather is dry, beware of fire.

Older Sister, what did he put in the well?

If my guess is right,

this should be the source of the epidemic.

He's so evil. He's spreading the toxicity of the disease.

He caused many people to die.

Let's follow him and see what other evil acts he has done.

All right.

How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?

This Wang Daolin is evasive. He is strange.

It's a pity I lost my spirit core. I can't see his original form.

When tomorrow comes,

the miracle medicine will cost fifty taels.

They will buy it willingly.

I was wondering what he was. So, he's a toad.

No wonder his actions are so fishy.

Let's go in and take a look.

Subtitles brought to you by The Legend of White Snake Team @ Viki.com

Sister, is this the miracle medicine?

This is the smell. This should be the antidote.

Let's steal this.

When that toad comes back and discovers we've found out about his nest,

I bet he'll be so upset that he'll jump 3-yards high.

But we must not let him find out for the time being. We need to do something

before we expose Wang Daoling's true colors publicly.

What a good method of substitution.

I want to see whether he dares sell this fifty taels of flour.

Boss!

Come, place them here.

Place them here. Put that over there.

Hurry up.

- Brother Bao, give this to me. - Okay.

Open them.

My Lord, why did you get up?

I heard some movements here

and came out to check.

What are you doing?

We are concocting medicines.

Concocting medicines?

What are you concocting?

Of course, it's the medicine that can cure the epidemic.

But...

Don't be dazed. Fill up what's left.

But this is flour.

Using flour to concoct medicine? It's too absurd.

Ancient good physicians used manure from cows and horses, or broken leather to concoct medicine.

It's not absurd to use flour to concoct medicine.

To add further, the flour is only one of the primers for the medicine.

My Lady,

using the flour as a primer, how will you combine them?

My Lord, don't worry.

I guarantee this medicine will be exactly like that from Jishi Hall.

It will cure the disease.

But we must not be so black-hearted like them.

We will give out the medicine for free.

My Lady, that Wang Daoling's medical skill is not bad.

If he treated Ruyi better, he could be the successor of Jishi Hall.

But during this epidemic, he used the opportunity to make an unjust profit.

I can't personally watch Jishi Hall

fall into the hands of this kind of person.

That's right.

Not only is this Wang Daoling ugly,

- but he is also evil, too. - Is it okay? - Yes.

If Jin Ruyi were to marry such a bad person,

Master Jin would be so furious that he would come back to life.

No, I must go to Jishi Hall to advise her.

Where are you going? She deserves that useless toad

and being tricked by a toad that wants to eat swan meat. (T/N: Chinese saying to marry a girl out of his league)

Did I say something wrong?

You just recovered and you are going to see Jin Ruyi?

Do you think that this antidote was that easy to obtain?

Do you know that because of you, Older Sister...

Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing, I know that you are prejudiced against Jin Ruyi;

but after all, she's my Master's daughter. Now that he's no longer around,

I can't just watch her take the wrong path.

My Lord, go and advise her now.

Older Sister.

What do you mean by prejudice?

He doesn't know what Ruyi did to you?

Older Sister, why did you stop me from telling him?

My husband is a kind person.

He also grew up with Miss Ruyi.

It's normal for him to worry about her.

I don't want him to be put in a difficult spot.

- Xiao Qing, stop talking bad about Ruyi in front of him again. - I...

Let's help my husband

to expose how that Wang Daoling scams people.

Let's go.

At Baohe Hall, we won't call it a miracle medicine.

Let's call it Safeguarding Pill.
