Episode 21

And there, there.

It should be there.

Big brother!

Look here!

It should be there.

Yes, it should be here.

Look over there.

Big brother, we finally find it.

Yeah!

Judicial Clerk Ye!

Why are you so tired?

Did you dig a canal to divert water?

This is a mountainous area.

Digging a canal to divert water

is not as wise as I pray for rain

Is it?

But if I can't divert water,

I won't starve to death.

If it doesn't rain tomorrow,

I don't know whether you

can keep going or not.

But you look in ruddy health

and speak loudly.

So you're likely to bask

on this platform for a few days.

Have you done enough?

I tell you.

If I were starved to death,

If the Imperial Court know it,

will the court believe that I died of praying for rain?

By the time,

you can't get away with it.

If you are so ruthless to die,

it doesn't matter if I were to blame?

Wait for a while.

When Official Hua comes to deliver you the meal,

Lord CSU

has to hide in the toilet again

to eat in a terrible hurry.

You!

Don't get too proud too early.

Let me tell you.

If the drought is not solved,

you know what?

Gao and Li villagers

will get mad at you.

By the time,

you will feel better off dead than alive.

Let's see which of us can survive longer.

Are you sure?

But I have already thought of

the method to divert water.

Judicial Clerk Ye!

My lord.

Why were you missing these two days?

During these days

I was wandering around in the mountains.

Why have you been wandering around in the mountains?

I am looking for water.

For water?

My lord, let me tell you.

I found that

between the two peaks outside the Qinghai Valley

is a big river.

This big river has plenty of water.

Just diverting a tributary from it

through the Ago and Li villages

can we solve

the problem of irrigation.

Is it so great?

You wandered in the mountains for a few days.

I never thought that you can find such a good method.

Gao and Li villagers

live nearby such a big river.

But they don't know how to make use of it.

My lord,

if this river is easy to divert,

would they get into a free-for-all fight

for water source?

How far is this river from Ago and Li villages?

It is not too far.

But there is a mountain between them.

Are you kidding me?

There is a mountain between them.

How to divert water?

If the water can be diverted,

why don't we divert the water

from Tongue River?

My lord, listen to me.

Although there is a mountain,

we can cut the mountain for a road.

Cut the mountain?

Is it really that easy?

Yu the Great can cut a mountain.

Why can't we?

And I found

the lowest part of the mountain.

As long as we can concentrate our manpower

I believe we can make a way out

and divert the water out.

Is it possible?

My lord.

This place

is only about 60 meters away

from the valley to a small mountain peak.

Although it is not high,

there are many rocks.

If we dispatch people to dig up,

it will take a long time.

But you know, my lord,

we can't waste time.

Many crops will die.

So

in order to save time

I advise to use gunpowder.

Gunpowder?

My lord, do you still remember

we found a batch of gunpowder

in County Magistrate Assistant Ming's warehouse?

I remember

the gunpowder are still stored in the warehouse.

But the gunpowder are booty.

So if we want to use it,

we need your permission, my lord.

It is not difficult.

Is it workable to cut the mountain

to divert water?

This is the only way.

Besides, give them a little hope.

The two villages will not fight again.

Or

you have a better way?

Well.

I'll give you gunpowder.

I will call squires together tomorrow

to discuss this matter.

Good.

Judicial Clerk Ye!

Ago and Li villages are so incompatible.

Why do you have to invite them?

My lord, think about it.

If the young men from these two villages

are all transferred into the mountain,

how can they fight?

Besides,

this matters these two villages.

I believe they will

disregard previous enmity.

What do you think?

I hope so.

My lord.

Two castellans!

Magistrate Official!

Judicial Clerk Ye!

If this water diversion is successful,

you two villages will be the biggest beneficiaries.

So

the sincerity of our magistrate

is obvious to all.

Magistrate Official.

We're so grateful.

Well! Well!

It is a huge water diversion project.

It need you unite in a concerted effort

and cooperate in earnest.

So

as soon as you enter into the mountain,

I hope you two

can strictly restrict your subordinates.

It is strictly prohibited to stir up any trouble.

Everything follows my arrangement.

Do you agree?

That's for sure.

I promise.

My lord,

everything is ready.

Just wait for your order.

Set out!

Big brother!

My father has brought squires to see you off.

Thank you, uncle.

Thanks for your favor.

I am embarrassed by your undeserved praise.

Lord Ye, don't be too modest.

Water diversion from mountains is related to the well-being of the people in Hu county.

Can we businessmen fall behind?!

This is raised by us businessmen.

This is a little something for you.

May you

everything is going smoothly.

Thanks for your support.

I will do my best

to solve the urgent need

for all of you.

Let's go.

Yanking!

This distance is longer.

But the terrain is relatively flat.

I give you 10 days.

You must manage to dig up a ditch

before the deadline.

Yes.

Captain Zhou!

This part needs gunpowder.

So you are responsible for the use and storage

of gunpowder.

Yes.

This part

is in the charge of Castellan Li.

This one

is in the charge of Castellan Ago.

Is there any problem?

No.

We need to dig a ditch here.

So we need some strong people.

And here,

we need some ropes.

Some people have to go down and dig some blast holes.

So we need some people who are good at climbing.

And

we have to make unified arrangement

to stonemason,

blacksmith and maosn in two villages.

Right,

and carpenter.

All of them need arranging uniformly

and dividing the work.

We can't do everything in a swarm.

Each answers the purpose intended.

Let's talk about personnel

shuffling.

Shuffling?

Why shuffling?

Yeah!

Is it okay if

we work at our own pace after distributing the districts?

Two castellans!

Such a big project

should be completed in such a short time.

Personnel must be mixed up.

We all have taken vows.

Don't you two want to go back on your words?

Are you blind?

You're blind!

What are you talking about?

Hit him! Hit him!

Don't you have eyes?

You wanna kill us?

You want to court death! Why do you blame us?

What are you doing?!

You did it on purpose, didn't you?

I didn't mean it.

I think you did it on purpose.

Quickly!

Set them apart!

Yes.

My lord,

Castellan Gao and Castellan Li are coming.

Got it.

Lord Ye!

The project schedule is so tight!

I don't know why you ask us here?

Why?

You two know that the project schedule is tight.

I think you two are not burdened enough.

Come on!

Bring me the staff that

I have prepared for two castellans.

My lord, my lord!

What does this mean?

What mean?

3 days!

We just started 3 days.

Your villagers

have fought 17 times

Just for trifles.

Two castellans, I wonder

this is the way you constrain your people?

My lord.

If you had not mixed up

two villagers persistently,

there would not be so many troubles.

Yes, my lord.

I told you

we should work at our own pace.

As you can see,

people from Ago Village

slow things down and make a mess.

What else can they do?

Li Jianwu!

Say it again!

Who slow things down and make a mess?

It is clear that you Li Villagers are slacking off.

I told you.

What can you do to me?

You old bastard!

You wanna get beaten, don't you?

You ask for a beating, right?

Stop!

At the beginning I let two villagers to mix up

because I want you work together

to get through the difficulty.

Now

the drought in Hu county is serious.

All of you are affected by it.

As an outsider,

I am still busy back and forth.

Why do you

still quarrel?

Well.

Don't you think

you are hindered by each other?

So from now on,

Castellan Li commands the people from Ago Village.

Castellan Gao

commands people from Li Village.

No matter who slows things down,

just hit him hard.

If it is drought one more day,

the crops will reduce production a little.

That's it.

What to do next?

You'd better know it.

You!

Slow down!

My lord, this is really a good idea.

What a stroke of genius it is.

Fine!

Old Zhou, don't praise me!

Actually I am not sure.

I've been holding on firmly despite extreme adversity.

But...

according to current rate of progress,

it will cost another two days

to divert water.

Right.

What's the matter?

My lord,

My leg aches.

Are you too tired these two days?

Suffer from an old disease?

Why don't you go back to have a rest for a few days?

No, my lord, you misunderstood.

Hu county

Lord CSU!

Drink the water.

After drinking off,

I'll refill it for you.

Is it okay?

Right,

I have a good news.

My big brother

will immediately divert the water into Ago and Li villages.

Lord CSU, it is not easy for you.

You've been on a hunger here for so many days.

in order to pray for rain.

But it doesn't rain.

However, everyone has witnessed your sincerity.

There are many gossips

about you.

You should ignore them.

Just sit here at ease.

OK?

What gossips?

People said

that you

put up a phoney show to pray for rain.

But god doesn't buy it.

You have been on a hunger for so many days.

But you are not fainted

or dead due to hunger.

Someone must have sent you food.

They also said that you are ugly.

That's all.

I'll pretend I didn't tell you these.

You pretend you didn't hear these.

That's it.

Lord CSU! It's true.

You just need wait for another two days.

After my big brother divert the water out of the mountain,

your hard time is over, right?

Stay here!

Stay!

I'll refill your water.

I really envy you.

It's so nice to be so high.

Luo Daheng!

You are a buffoon!

The water hasn't been drawn out of the mountain yet.

You are so eager to humiliate me!

My lord, excuse me.

I am suffering hardships here.

There is not a drop of rain.

When Ye Xiaotian diverts the water,

I would get laughed by them more.

No!

I have to think of a way!

Lord CSU!

In 2 days,

I will divert the water from the big river

to solve the drought in Ago and Li villages.

Judicial Clerk Ye, you can make such contribution!

This is really gratifying.

Thanks for your praise.

In order to solve the drought,

Lord CSU goes on a hunger.

Although it is useless,

I believe

perhaps people will remember your kindness.

You haven't eaten for days.

How weak you are!

Just sit down quickly.

Assistant CSU is fainted.

Come on! Help!

Assistant CSU is fainted.

Excuse me!

Don't forget to ask the chef to

cook some gruel for Lord CSU.

He can't eat dry food after a hunger for many days.

How silly this CSU Boyi is!

He fell in a faint because of hunger.

He was not hit by an arrow.

He just pretended to be dizzy

and fell down.

What did he do?

Foolish!

Shoo!

Assistant CSU has prayed for rain for us.

Yeah.

Assistant CSU.

My master.

Assistant CSU!

You have a rough time.

Thanks for your concern.

I am fine.

It's ok.

I just feel a little dizzy.

Dear fellows and old folks,

to solve the drought in Hu County,

Assistant CSU went on a hunger for rain.

But now

he has fainted from hunger.

I see that.

I feel pain in my heart.

So

I decide

to replace him on a hunger for rain.

As long as it doesn't rain one day,

I will not eat for one day.

Dear fellows and old folks,

you can be a witness.

Lord Ye!

Assistant CSU failed to beg for rain

because he is not sincere enough.

There is nothing to do with you.

Yes, my lord.

You blaze a way through all manner of obstacles

and cut mountains to divert water.

How can we let you

suffer hardships for others.

The canal

will open soon.

Lord Ye, even if you don't pray for rain

the drought will be solved.

Yes, Lord Ye.

You can't go on a hunger to pray for rain.

-Right, you can't. -My lord.

Everyone!

I know you care for me.

But we can't cheat the god.

How can we give up halfway?

The canal project has been almost finished.

Whether I am there or not,

it doesn't matter much.

So

from today

I'll go on a hunger to pray for rain.

I hope god

can feel my sincerity.

It will rain

to solve the drought in Hu County.

God!

I would like to give up my life.

Please give us a heavy rain.

As long as it doesn't rain in Hu county,

I won't eat for one day.

Good official!

Lord Ye is really a good official who love people as if we were his own children.

My god!

We are blessed!

My lord!

Judicial Clerk Ye announced to go on a hunger to replace Assistant CSU

until it rains.

What?

He is so smart.

Why does he ask for trouble?

What the hell is he going to do?

Big brother!

You know

If it doesn't rain tomorrow,

what should you do?

It is going to rain.

Anyway, Old Zhou told me that

it will definitely rain tomorrow.

What's the matter?

My lord,

My leg aches.

Are you too tired these two days?

Suffer from an old disease.

Why don't you go back to have a rest for a few days?

No, my lord, you misunderstood.

I'm afraid

there will be a heavy rain tomorrow.

Rain?

My lord, do you forgot?

Wasn't my leg broken by CSU Lin?

Since then,

I have been attacked by a disease.

When it rains in a cloudy day,

my leg starts to ache.

The heavier the rain is,

the achier my leg is.

I know that

there will be a heavy rain tomorrow.

I don't think so.

How about this?

Tomorrow I will go to the temple

to pray for you.

Come on!

Don't make things worse!

I think praying in the temple

is not as effective as

Old Zhou's leg injury.

Big brother!

I can't see you like this.

You know in case…

In case

what if it doesn't rain tomorrow?

It's ok.

We will finish digging the canal.

We can divert the water out of the mountain tomorrow.

Whether it will rain or not,

it's not too important, is it?

Okay!

It's raining again.

All that's left of the past is drunken bitterness.

I raise my head, shedding tears and letting go memories.

I feel a lump in my throat and in my heart.

A flower is floating from the tree.

Though afraid of heights, it falls into an abyss.

It loses its branch.

Time will heal its wounds.

A flower is floating from the tree.

Being trodden upon, it joins the mud.

Resigned to its fate, it rots with its memories.

The wilderness once blossomed in midsummer.

Look!

The wind rises. Look!

Please rains quickly.

Yeah.

Look!

It's raining.

It's raining.

It's raining.

It's raining.

It's raining.

It's raining.

It's raining.

It's raining.

It's raining.

Judicial Clerk Ye only prays for rain for one day.

But Assistant CSU prayed for so many days.

Nobody can deceive god.

God knows clearly.

Thank you. God!

It's raining.

Everybody, it's raining.

God is touched. God is touched.

God is touched.

Thank you. God!

It's raining.

Thank you. God!

One person has eaten 6 steamed buns.

But he was not full.

When he ate the seventh,

he felt full.

He said to himself that

if I had knew it,

I would eat the seventh one directly.

But he doesn't know

he would not be full without the first six buns.

You fools!

I am the first six buns.

I am the first six buns.

Lord Ye!

I didn't think that

even God is touched by you!

I really respect you.

Yes, Lord Ye.

Now

people said you are the reincarnation of the third prince of the dragon king.

I also think so.

It is not so legendary.

This time

is just a coincidence.

A coincidence?

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

In my opinion,

CSU Boyi is not sincere enough.

By the way, two castellans,

although the heavy rain has temporarily eased the drought,

this is not enough.

The canal project

can't be delayed.

We must divert the water out of the mountain as soon as possible.

Yanking!

Is this area affected by this heavy rain?

The waterwheel has already been tested.

Although the water level has risen,

it will not affect the normal operation.

The water can be diverted tomorrow.

What about Old Zhou?

In the key positions of water channel,

there are some landslides,

but I have already sent someone to clean it up.

I also sent some more people to guard.

There should be no big problem.

Good.

Then next

we have to work hard.

Take responsibility for your own part.

And check it again.

We must ensure there is no problem on water diversion tomorrow.

Yes.

Everybody,

since the beginning of summer

the drought in Hu county has been serious.

Our people are suffering hardships.

Industry and Commerce are affected seriously.

I'm too anxious

to sleep at night.

Fortunately, god has blessed us.

It rained heavily.

Now we succeed diverting the water.

We can set our mind at rest from now on.

Good, good, good!

So great! Great!

Good.

As soon as this canal opens,

the water will flow day and night

it will definitely better than manpower to divert water.

No bullshit!

Divert the water quickly!

Why are you staring at me?

It's no use staring at me.

I said I wouldn't come.

You must let me come here.

I might as well go to

Ago and Li villages to find my big brother.

What do you know?!

Such a big project!

If there is any problem…

It is completed in less than a month.

If there is any problem,

these two villagers will tear you up.

The older a man is, the more cunning he is.

It is absolutely right!

To my surprise, someone is not only old,

but disloyal to friends.

You're talking about me?

I mean Magistrate Hue!

Well.

Now I declare to

divert the water!

There is water.

Good, good, good!

Congratulation! Magistrate Hue! The water diversion is successful.

This is a great service

to our people.

It's our good fortune!

It's our good fortune

Good, good!

Talented!

Dad!

This is the first time you praise me.

Although you look like

your mother,

you are quite good in other aspects.

Right.

I have arranged a blind date for you.

She is the daughter of a ministry councillor in Tongue.

She looks

very virtuous

and beautiful.

I think she is good.

I'll show you after a couple of days.

Dad!

Dad!

Covered with bamboo groves and weeds,

the mountain stands amidst the clouds.

Beset with crisis,

I brave the thin ice to help my friends.

With bitter winds howling like mad,

things on earth at once repel and attract each other.

I'm not afraid of challenging Heaven.

I'm walking between life and death. Who sees the stains at my feet?

The good and the evil remain uncompromising and incompatible.

It's difficult to distinguish between the true and the false. I crave neither fame nor fortune.

There is water.

Yeah.

Water is coming.

I don't have a hero complex. All I want is take life easy.

Everyone follows the tide in troubled times.

But I stick to my own beliefs.

Old scores are but passing clouds.

He who laughs last laughs best.

There is no way out. Life is predestined.

But I'll fight on and roar on, determined to rewrite destiny

and get a new life.

Lord Ye!

With this mountain canal,

we Li Villagers

will never suffer from the drought again.

Lord Ye, it's so kind of you.

I will remember your goodness in my heart.

This bowl of wine,

please drink it off.

Lord Ye!

we Gao Villagers

have no way to express our gratitude to you.

Please drink this bowl of wine off.

Two castellans, there is no need to be so polite.

Although I came up with the idea,

what contributed most

are people from two villagers.

If it weren't for the two villages did their best,

the canal cannot be completed so soon.

But in order to divert the water

as soon as possible,

when we built the canal,

it was a bit hasty.

So we need maintain and reinforce it

with your joint efforts.

My lord, don't worry.

My lord, you are right.

You came up with such a good idea for us

and solve the biggest difficulty for us.

We will certainly do better in the future.

Yes, my lord.

This river is our lifeblood.

We will cherish

it like our children.

There will be no problem.

Good.

Actually I have something to

both of you.

My lord,

Just say it.

Yes.

Just say it.

Good.

In fact, this time

two villages made concerted efforts.

We not only solve the drought,

but

enhance the friendship between the two villages.

When Gao Village built a dike,

Li Village would destroy it.

You always fight with each other.

Hatred will be passed down from generation to generation.

Do you really hope this?

In the face of great difficulties,

we need to help each other.

I hope that in addition to natural disaster

we won't suffer from man-made disasters.

My lord, you are right.

We will do as you said.

My lord,

you can rest assured.

Great!
