=Parallel World= (Adapted from Wei Yu's novel "Parallel World")

=Episode 5= (This story is a work of fiction.)

Bro, two cars are coming.

They are not here to steal away our business, are they?

(H-F8819)

Can you drive with your heart?

I'm fine.

Are you sure about that?

Oh my god.

Dong, someone is following me.

The rear car is blocking us.

There must be a car up ahead trying to intercept us.

How about leaving Tang behind?

Sacrifice him in order to save us.

There are enough supplies in the car

for both of us anyway.

Liuxi, Liuxi.

How could you come up with this idea?

Why leave me behind?

We are coming together.

When you speak ill of me,

you're not as united as you are now.

When did I bad mouth you?

How did you know that?

I don't have to know everything.

He can talk behind your back, so he can do the same thing to me.

You are right.

Look what you did to me.

Just leave me behind when we're in danger.

Good for you.

Your hearts are too dark.

I am still too innocent.

Quick.

Quick.

Hurry up!

Look at the road you brought!

Chang Dong.

How about this?

I can have a talk with them.

And find out what they want.

Wait a second.

If you are going to talk tough,

maybe it's more effective for me to do that.

Just calm down. They have weapons.

Oh, right.

You can't go out later.

I don't want to let them know

that there is a pretty lady in my car.

Go ahead.

I can protect you.

I’m halfway there,

carrying the cigarettes.

If you don’t mind,

we could be friends.

Do you have a light?

We’re being treated like a hijacker.

Let’s go off and take a look.

Okay.

(Hui Ba)

(Huo Ya)

What are you going to do?

Retrieve the body.

What?

Yes.

None of us are easy.

I wonder if you could bend the rules

and let us go.

Don’t worry.

I'm not going to

stop you from getting rich.

Be nice, okay?

See if they have guns in the car.

Okay, I got it.

Bring the cigarettes.

Keep the road wide.

We are not the unreasonable people.

Good for Chang Dong.

Liuxi, I have no knife. But I have this.

If something is terrible, we'll have to fight them later.

There is still water in the car.

He doesn’t sell us out, right?

He is not like you.

How dare you look at me like that?

Is there any alcohol in the car?

Yes, a couple of bright beers.

I will get them.

Wait here. Let me take a look.

Liuxi, they are coming.

We should get the drop on them.

What’s going on?

Are you not done?

What happened?

I am not sure.

What?

Bro,

there is a lady in the car,

who looks a lot like the picture

in your book.

Are you sure?

Why don't you take a look?

Nice to meet you.

I am sorry.

I don't know it's you, Liuxi.

I am so careless that

I should be punished.

You know me?

No.

But now I know you.

Liuxi, are you cutting on?

The wind is heavy tonight.

Why not

come with us?

Buddies, serve them well.

Let’s go.

Have you seen him?

No.

One pair two of...

Who is it?

I don’t know.

Let’s go out and see.

-Ba. -Ba.

I am so sorry.

We’ve been mining for the past two years,

and the two mines we mined in a row

were the chicken nest mine.

We have no solutions.

So we tried to find another way out.

It's so dark outside,

and I can't see things clearly.

So I didn't recognize you, Liuxi.

You didn’t meet me.

How could you know I am Liuxi?

Well, it's hard to say.

Huo Ya.

Help me unfold it.

Do it again. This way.

It’s here.

Look at it.

After the mine closed,

we had no livelihood.

A new quarry just opened up.

So we found some rare stones,

and sold them to the bosses for a living.

In fact,

we keep an eye on some tough people

who come in and out of the Dalpur.

If we encountered some tough guys,

and we got in trouble,

we couldn't handle those things.

But some people

can be friends with us

if we give them something special.

We should take good care of them.

Then why my photo is here?

Those photos have been there for a long time.

But we don't have many of them.

These are remade photos,

including yours.

None of them are original.

Well,

what do they say about me?

Actually,

this book doesn't have a history.

I just heard about it from others.

So I made one by myself.

And I can update new photos if I meet new people.

We don't know the story

behind every photo.

What's going on?

What happened?

What did you do?

Pull up the tent.

Put the plug in tightly.

Who can take a look?

I can!

Quickly!

What's going on?

Good for you.

Your photos are even in the book.

Are you jealous?

That's fair enough.

After all, you are the Sand Fang,

and you are the guide all the path,

but finally my photos are in the book.

Take the time to think about

who you really are.

And why your photos are in the book,

and why these people are afraid of you.

Oh right.

Just now you jumped out of the window,

and you are more like a bandit

than them.

We can handle this tomorrow morning.

These bunch of cowards.

Liuxi.

It's still dark.

You can sleep here if you don't mind.

Okay.

Thanks.

Go get our stuff.

Are we really staying here with them?

Or what?

You are a man. Don't whine about it.

All right. Let's go.

It's going to kill me.

Liuxi.

We are going to sleep now.

Why are you still drinking so much water?

You got a problem?

Dong.

I had a feeling Liuxi wasn't normal.

I told you not to mess with her.

Is it too late for me

to get along with her now?

Well, it depends on what you want.

If you just want to be safe on the way,

and you behave yourself,

then she won't bother you.

I forgot to tell you,

if anything happens at night,

just ignore it.

What do you mean?

This place is so weird.

Especially

on windy nights,

it's haunted.

Really?

When the wind blows,

you can listen to it.

It sounded like a whine, like a ghost crying.

I was scared to death.

The sound

was right above my head.

You must close your eyes,

not open them,

as if you could not hear the sound.

If you open your eyes,

you're dead.

That's right.

I even saw a ghost.

No wonder

someone said that Yardang Terrace here was originally a city.

The people here

blasphemed the gods and were punished by them.

And then

the city lay in ruins.

Where did the people of the city go?

They were buried in the ground.

And?

They are angry,

so they are crying all the time.

Whenever there is a strong wind,

the sound comes up from the ground.

Just like this.

Listen!

You scared me.

Okay, let's stop here.

Go get sleep.

Okay.

Let's sleep now.

I shouldn't have drunk the water.

Where did you go?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Can't you hold it in?

I will go with you.

You're going to walk me to the bathroom?

I have rules as a guide.

Two people must go to the bathroom at night.

Especially the women can't be alone.

Why?

Years ago, an expedition went into the desert,

and a girl went to the bathroom, and she never came back.

Not a person in life, not a body in death.

Later someone speculated that...

I don't care.

She might have encountered quicksand.

Stop.

I can go alone.

I can go with you.

I'm not blind, am I?

Did you also see that?

There are shadow puppets

on the camels.

But there is no sign of a pole.

No one pulls the strings.

What?

No one?

Yes.

It's not really haunted, is it?

Explain it to me.

How can I explain this?

Have a look.

Wait a minute.

There is nothing.

How about going inside?

At least there are a lot of faces there.

Are you going to the bathroom or not?

I forgot if you didn't tell me.

Now that you say it, I feel like going to the bathroom again.

All right.

Let's go.

How long till dawn?

Almost two hours.

Wu, cook for us.

I had a dream.

It really scared me.

It's all sand. What terrible weather today is.

It's terrible.

Are you awake?

Yes.

Didn't you say

you were going to play nice for Liuxi?

You're not going to hold her?

Oh right.

I will do that.

Liuxi.

Let me hold you.

No.

Are you okay?

I am satisfied.

Are you sure?

Yes, I feel great.

Morning.

There's just too much sand.

Wu, serve the food for Liuxi.

Okay.

Liuxi, I have prepared your food.

Alright, do it yourself!

Give me two eggs.

Okay.

I'm going to ask them about last night.

What's so good about this wine?

What is he going to do?

You want to know?

Buddies,

I want to ask about something.

What?

Just ask me.

Did anything strange

or unusual

happen

in the middle of the night?

Well, something strange...

Listen, the boss needs to know something.

You guys should listen carefully.

When you guys go out to pee in the night,

have you ever seen anything scary?

Listen, I am serious.

If you make that up,

I'll break your teeth.

Do you understand?

I...

Look at Yardang Terrace at night,

it's like a ghost.

So scary.

And the sound at night!

When I sleep at night,

I have to put cotton in my ears.

Yes!

One time, I went number two,

and suddenly a thing crawled up my foot.

I was scared.

There are jerboas here.

Why are you laughing?

Bro, can we eat this thing?

Yes, you can eat that.

They're a bunch of illiterate, superstitious people.

All day long,

it's either ghost stories or dirty jokes.

Every day they have nothing to do but brag.

You ask them,

who's actually seen a ghost?

Do you believe them?

If they steal two pieces of flesh from others,

they will frame them on a ghost.

All right. I won't bother you.

Okay, do your business.

I got nothing.

What did you ask?

Last night,

I saw shadow puppetry on the tent.

What?

A shadow puppetry?

Were you hallucinating?

I also saw that.

Don't you two gang up and scare me.

What a shadow puppetry?

Tell me!

It is like...

It's like a camel caravan walking.

Dong.

It's not the Ghost Camel Caravan, is it?

What?

Ghost Camel Caravan?

Dong,

when do you expect to

be in the Dalpur town?

If we hurry, we'll be there around noon.

Great.

Finally get out of here.

I'm going to take a good bath when I get to town.

And have a good sleep.

Tang.

When we get to the town, you just go back to Li City.

What?

I go back?

What do you mean?

The three of us are aware

that you want the Sheep's Head.

You also know that you can't take it away.

And the path later is more difficult for you.

So I give you a choice.

There is a highway in the town going to Ying City.

The road conditions are very good.

You can go straight home that way.

I closed the store.

And spent all this money getting here.

Do I have to listen to anything you say?

If you ask me...

I'm not going back there.

Want to make a fortune?

What are you doing?

Why do you have to open it every day

when it's covered?

If you grow flowers,

do you have to

take out the seeds every day?

Eat, sleep, go to the bathroom,

why are you everywhere?

How soon will I get better?

You're infected. You need to amputate.

From here.

Do you believe I will kill you?

Come on.

Don't you know that the salt crust isn't as good as a knife?

Wounds like this are slow to heal.

If you don't notice,

that's amputation, right?

Oh right.

You are in the book.

So it's better to have some features.

Later,

you can have a knife in your right hand and a cane in your left.

Then no one else has to read the book.

Because they know who you are half a mile away.

Well, you help me bind up my wound.

I'm not as professional

or patient as you.

Right, I bound up,

and then you took the bandage off again for fun.

I swear I won't do that again.

Okay, this is the last time.

If you still take it off,

then you help yourself.

So what should we do then?

Just go?

Yes, we can get there around noon.

Really?

Or what?

So just forget about

what happened yesterday?

There's a lot of weird stuff around here.

Do I have to care about all that?

Hui Ba said

that we put the quilt over our heads and slept it off.

So the shadow puppets have nothing to do with you?

There are a lot of people who can carve shadow puppets.

As long as it is shadow puppets, does it have anything to do with me?

Don't move.

You know, when you're not talking,

you're kind of cute.

I'm not in pain.

Buddy, sorry to bother you.

Don't be polite.

I should go.

Goodbye.

Take care.

Liuxi, take care.

From the Dalpur to Ying City,

we will come across Hailongdui in the middle of the Yi'er Highway.

Yes.

The roads there are more dangerous and wilder.

Ancient texts say

it's a place haunted by ghosts.

The picture of Kong Yang is in the Hailongdui.

♪Where sands converge into the sea♪

They say there's a lot of wind.

It's hard to pitch a tent.

I didn't stay here either.

Prepare for it.

Well, we should take Tong with us.

One more person, more help.

I don't like to involve irrelevant people.

I don't care what you think.

After all, I have the nerve.

You took the gauze off again!

It dropped by itself.

Wait a minute.

I just told you before.

I am serious! It just dropped!

I didn't lie to you.

Let's go this way.
