[The snowflakes on the seventh night bloom and wither. Like a short reunion and a permanent separation.]

[Snowy Night Timeless Love]

[Episode 21]

♫How many obstacles must one overcome in life?♫

♫Love is the hardest obstacle of all♫

It would be great if this moment

♫We're like a lonely sail in the vast world♫

could last forever.

♫Drifting always, looking for the shore♫

♫We've crossed hundreds of rivers and scaled thousands of mountains♫

♫Why fear the coldness of fate?♫

♫If the night is lonely, I will be the lamp♫

What happened?

♫And light up the rest of our lives♫

Mr. Mingjie is awake.

But he kept saying it hurts.

I lit the soothing incense this morning

and made some medicine.

♫Whether it's fate or calamity, entangled in destiny♫

But I couldn’t get him to drink it.

Shouldn’t we tell Chief?

She drank with Mr. Seven

till late night.

♫The past is like an unbearable illusion, yet I remain resolute♫

She must be asleep now.

We still need her here.

I’ll go find her now.

♫Toasts exchanged, how many nights has snow fallen?♫

Be hush about this.

We can't let Mr. Seven know that

Mingjie is in the valley.

♫The past fades with the dimming night♫

You two stay here.

♫A lifetime with one person and one heart, all for a fleeting warmth♫

♫Bit by bit, day by day, year by year, fragments of memories♫

♫Gatherings, separations, joy and sorrow, the myriad facets of life♫

♫Looking back at the fleeting snow and wind, I have no regrets♫

My goodness.

What's going on?

This...

Was I imagining things?

Shuang Hong.

You saw it too, right?

I’ve never seen Chief

sleeping so soundly before.

Before, no matter how big the fire was,

she always said it was cold

and couldn't sleep at night.

She would get up and keep

walking around.

♫Bid farewell in the first wasteland♫

So,

let her

sleep a little longer.

♫Only with flaws can it be considered complete♫

But the patient in Autumn Garden...

Ask Lan Lan and Xiao Cheng

♫Bloom or wither, the snow is like me♫

to light another pot of soothing incense.

I’ll stay here

and tell her when she wakes up.

Go.

Okay.

♫Both fearless and brilliant♫

♫Whether it's fate or calamity, entangled in destiny♫

♫The past is like an unbearable illusion, yet I remain resolute♫

♫Toasts exchanged, how many nights has snow fallen?♫

♫The past fades with the dimming night♫

♫A lifetime with one person and one heart, all for a fleeting warmth♫

♫Bit by bit, day by day, year by year, fragments of memories♫

♫Gatherings, separations, joy and sorrow, the myriad facets of life♫

♫Looking back at the fleeting snow and wind, I have no regrets♫

♫No regrets even when looking back♫

What are you doing, Huo Zhanbai?

What did I do?

I wanted to take you back to your room yesterday.

But I saw you asleep.

So I...

I slept soundly.

So you wanted me to sleep more?

Yes.

Since you already know,

you don't have to be angry.

You have no proof.

How can you prove it?

How can I prove that?

We were drunk last night.

I wanted to send you back to your room.

-But you… -Stop it!

Didn't you ask me to tell you?

How could you turn against me?

Today, I'll show you

what turning against you means.

Why did you hit me?

Aren't I considered a patient?

Chief.

Shuang Hong.

You came at the right time.

Lock him up.

When the medicine is ready,

drive him out of the valley.

I…

Yes, Chief.

Chief.

The Autumn Garden needs you.

Mr. Seven.

It’s been a night.

You should go back and rest.

This woman

was as obedient as a cat last night.

But today, she's like a different person.

I don't understand her at all.

My legs are numb.

Mingjie.

Why are you squatting here?

You need a good rest.

Lie down.

Don't come closer.

I'm not Mingjie.

What do you want?

Mingjie.

You should have recovered

some of your memories.

Why are you still asking that?

It's all fake.

It's all fake.

It's not fake.

Mingjie.

It's me.

I’m back.

I’m Sister Ye.

Look.

What is this?

This hairpin

is yours?

Yes.

I haven't asked you yet.

Why was it

with you?

I found it in the snow

on my way to the Apothecary Valley.

Why did you pick it up?

Do you remember this hairpin?

I just think the sound it makes

is very familiar.

No wonder, in the past, you could tell

I was approaching from a long distance away.

When I asked you

how you knew I was here,

you always refused to tell me.

Now I understand.

You must have heard

the bells on this hairpin.

Right?

Is this

the reason I slept so well

every night?

Mingjie.

Since you picked up this hairpin,

it means that deep within your memories,

you remember me

and the Mo Family Village.

No one dares to look into my eyes!

Mingjie.

I'm not afraid of your eyes.

You've got the wrong person!

I'm not Mingjie.

Listen.

Give me the Dragon Blood Pearl now.

Or I'll kill you!

Why?

Why?

Mingjie.

How did you become like this?

You don't even believe

your own memories now?

Is this how

an assassin cultivated by Yuan Yi Palace's

Asura Field is like?

All these years,

what kind of torture

have you suffered?

Is she still angry at me?

Mr. Huo.

Time to eat.

Xiao Jing.

Is your chief still angry?

I don’t know.

Is she in the Summer Garden?

I don't know.

What's your name?

I don't know...

Xiao Jing.

As far as I know,

your chief is treating a patient,

right?

Feng Lyu told me everything.

Feng Lyu told you everything?

Of course.

Think about how close I am

to your Chief.

What's there to hide from me?

But Chief said

we can’t tell

you about this.

Why not?

Because the patient in Autumn Garden...

I don't know.

Xiao Jing.

The Autumn Garden

is suddenly housing a patient,

and she's keeping it from me?

Mr. Seven.

Is she inside?

The Chief is treating a patient.

Please wait for her

in the Summer Garden instead.

It's okay.

I'll just wait here.

Chief.

Chief.

Tie him up with a rope

to prevent him from hurting others.

Yes.

Chief Xue, please wait.

What is it?

I want to ask you for an explanation.

What explanation？

Chief Xue.

As a doctor,

you're not treating your patients equally.

You treat this one so gently,

careful not to disturb him.

But you scold and yell

at this patient,

even throwing a pastry at him.

Look, he has a new injury now.

Some patients

are polite and know their place.

But some patients

have visited the valley

too many times and become

increasingly shameless.

So there is really a patient

in Autumn Garden?

Yes.

So what?

An important one, too?

Just a rich

and handsome one.

Did you take him in

for the money

or his handsomeness?

Both.

Both?

Why do you care so much

about the patients in the valley?

How about

I arrange for you two to meet?

Okay.

It's just that he has psoriasis.

If you want to see him,

pack your luggage

and move into his room.

You can come out

when he recovers.

Psoriasis?

What?

Why are you asking so many questions?

Are you that free?

No.

I just want to know,

since all the herbs are here,

when can we make the medicine?

I'm working on it.

Now we just need some

codonopsis roots.

Why don't you

go to the back mountain with me to collect some?

Sure.

Sickle, shovel,

hoe, and medicine knife.

It's all in there.

Chief's hand warmer

is also inside.

Please take care of her,

Mr. Huo,

Don't worry.

I will take good care of her.

Just now, I tried to help Mingjie

remove the second golden needle.

But because

he was too emotional,

I failed to remove it fully.

But he is bleeding slightly

in the Shenting acupoint,

which means the needle has been loosened.

So within four hours,

we have to remove the needle.

What do you need us to do?

Please ask Granny Ning

to bring Mingjie to the hot spring

and force the golden needle out.

I will come back

in four hours.

Before that,

you have to complete the task.

Got it.

No wonder you're taking

Mr. Huo with you to collect codonopsis roots.

You're trying to distract him.

But Mr. Seven

always wanders around in the valley.

We can't keep it

from him forever.

It's not the time yet.

When the third needle is extracted,

I will tell him myself.

Ziye.

The second golden needle has been removed.

Thank you, Granny.

The last one.

Only one left.

The last one is left.

After that, Mingjie can

recover all his memories.

But the third golden needle

is too deep in his brain.

I'm not confident enough.

This is the first time I've heard you say that

you're not confident enough.

Twelve years ago,

I've lost him once.

I can't lose him again.

So,

we must be extremely cautious.

But now,

I can't guarantee that

he will be unscathed after I remove

the third golden needle

from his head.

If someone

can connect

his meridians

to open the acupoints

and slowly push the golden needle up,

it will help me

pull out the third golden needle.

Mr. Seven

is the best candidate.

But in Yangzhou,

he framed Huo Zhanbai

and almost killed

his master, Qiushui He.

He also killed

many martial artists.

Huo Zhanbai

has always been righteous

and hates him deeply.

I dare not

and don’t want to let him know

that Mingjie is in the valley.

I don't want to make things difficult for him.

Sooner or later,

he will find out.

Yes.

He will find out sooner or later.

Not just about Mingjie, too.

I'll go to the library with you

to get some medical books.

There might be another way.

[Mo Family Village]

Sister, run!

Sister, run!

Run!

Ming... Mingjie.

Grandpa.

Mingjie didn't mean to kill them.

Please forgive him.

Yes.

He did it to save me.

Punish me if you want.

Don't blame Mingjie.

Silly girl.

Now,

it's not about blaming him

or not.

What are you going to do to him?

Are you going to kill him?

From now on,

the Mo Family Village

must never mention Mingjie's matter again.

I will keep him

in the rooftop house.

He's not allowed to leave again.

Let's go.

Mingjie!

Mingjie!

Mingjie!

Sister Ye!

-Sister Ye! -Mingjie!

Don't be afraid, Mingjie.

We are all here.

We will visit you every day.

Really?

Yes.

But you will leave eventually.

Give me your hand.

Mingjie, don't be afraid.

I won't leave you behind.

Let’s go.

Sister Ye!

Mingjie!

Sister Ye!

Sister Ye!

Mingjie!

Sister Ye!

Let go of her!

Let go of her!

Let go of her!

Let go of her!

Let go of her!

Stop looking. Let's go.

I remember now.

This is indeed my memory.

But Mo Family Village

was just like Yuan Yi Palace.

They both locked me

in this dark prison.

Since I have escaped

from that cabin,

I will never go back.

Xue Ziye.

Where is everyone?

No one is here.

The Lixue Sword?

No wonder she kept it from me.

So the patient in the valley

is the assassin of Yuan Yi Palace.

Why did you come out?

You're still sick.

Don't wander around.

Go back and rest.

Really?

Is it hard to cure my illness?

I'm still looking for a solution...

Where is the Dragon Blood Pearl?

Tell me!

Tell me!

Huo Zhanbai!

Huo Zhanbai, don't hurt him.

Mingjie!

Is your hand okay?

I didn’t mean it.

Don't hurt him.

Please don't hurt him.

How could you bring him

back to the valley?

He wants to control us with the Eye Magic.

He'll hurt you.

He's my younger brother, Mingjie.

He was the one

who saved me

in the Mo Family Village back then.

Mingjie!

-Chief! -Mingjie.

Mingjie.

I'll take you back to the medicine hut

to bandage your wound.

Shuang Hong.

Take Eye to his room.

Okay.

You're good at dressing it.

You've bandaged me for eight years.

I learned

some skills while watching.

You have something to say?

Go ahead.

Did you bring him back

the day you saved me?

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have kept it from you.

After I recognized him,

I found that his memory

was sealed by three golden needles.

During this time,

I've been trying to

pull out the golden needles.

I wanted to

tell you after I pull out all three

golden needle.

How many have you pulled out?

Two.

Since you have pulled out two,

and he still wants to kill you,

do you think he's still

the Mingjie you knew?

Back then,

Mingjie was only six years old.

He risked his life to protect me.

It means he's kind in nature.

All these years,

Chang Wujue has kept his memories sealed

with the golden needles.

That's why he killed without hesitation.

I believe that

as long as we pull out the third golden needle,

he will recover his memories

and turn over

a new leaf.

Even if he regains his memory now,

he's no longer Mingjie.

But he turned out like this

all because of me.

I have a vague guess.

If the Mo Family Village's massacre was

really orchestrated by Yuan Yi Palace,

why did Yuan Yi Palace

only take Mingjie away?

What were they planning?

Eye Magic?

He used the Eye Magic

to save me back then.

Later, I thought about it.

Maybe the news

leaked out that night.

That's why he got into trouble

and the Mo Family Village was massacred.

But these are just speculations.

Don't blame yourself.

That night,

Xuehuai and I

didn't have time to save him.

That's why he was taken away by Chang Wujue.

We abandoned him.

It was a dangerous situation.

What could you and Xuehuai have done?

Even so,

all these years,

I still feel uneasy.

In the end,

it's all Chang Wujue's fault.

He's just using Eye.

But don't forget.

Eye has been with Yuan Yi Palace for more than 10 years.

He managed to survive

the elimination killing of Asura Field.

That means he has become

ruthless

and cruel.

I understand you.

He's your brother.

You have to save him.

But I still need to warn you.

Be careful not to nourish a viper in your bosom.

Did I

speak too harshly?

But if Eye stays here,

how can I leave at ease?

What can I say?

After all, Mingjie

almost killed his master.

I have no right to ask for his forgiveness.

Granny,

I might have to stay here

for two or three days.

Please tell Shuang Hong and Feng Lyu

to deliver some food

on time.

Got it.

Ziye.

What is it?

You have to know your limits.

There are many things you can't force.

Although all the previous chiefs of the Apothecary Valley

were called miracle doctors,

even the most skilled doctor

is still a human, not a god.

It's only natural that

there are things you cannot accomplish.

Don't be like

Chief Tang.

Granny.

Are you afraid I'd follow

the old Chief Tang's footsteps?

Yes.

Back then,

I witnessed it with my own eyes.

To find the

antidote to the poison of Soul Devouring Powder,

she exhausted herself

and vomited blood

before dying in the library.

At her last moment,

she held the

"Book of Medicine" in her hand.

That year,

she was only 31 years old.

Granny.

I know

my own body.

Oh, you...

You should learn from Chief Liao.

She is very happy now.

I must find a way

to pull out the third needle.

Is your chief inside?

I heard from Xiao Cheng that

she has been staying inside

and never came out.

I'll go check on her.

Mr. Huo.

At this time,

she won’t let you in.

Yes.

She hasn’t slept for days.

She barely eats the meals

we deliver every day,

let alone see you.

Why don’t you persuade her?

She’s always been stubborn.

Whenever she meets a difficult problem,

she forgets to eat or drink.

She's already weak.

How can she

torture herself like this?

Mr. Mingjie

is her only family left.

That’s why she desperately wants

to remove the third

golden needle

from his head

and restore his memory.

She only cares about others

and not herself.

Actually...

The Chief has found

a way to remove the golden needle

from Mr. Mingjie's head.

But in the valley right now,

only you can help with it.

Chief doesn’t want to put you in a difficult position,

so she gave up on this method.

That's why she is in the library,

flipping through the books.

If I help him remove the needle,

I would be helping a villain

who almost killed my master.

Even if I disregard that,

he's a killer who kills without hesitation.

Anyone in the Sword Sect

would kill him on sight.

Don't move.

That woman is right.

Maybe he's killing people

because Chang Wujue is

controlling him.

If I pull out the golden needle

and he regains his mind,

maybe he will

change his ways.

But if I save him

and he doesn't change,

he'll continue to

do evil from now on.

If I don't save him,

that woman

will keep tormenting herself.

What should I do?

Mr. Seven!

Something happened!

Chief... She...

Chief.

Chief!

Granny.

How is she?

Not only is her cold disease flaring up,

but she is also overworked,

causing her meridians to freeze up.

Granny.

Help her up.

Come on.

Chief.

Chief.

Chief...

Chief, wake up.

Chief.

Ziye!

Ziye!

Shuang Hong.

I’m here.

I’m here, Chief.

Granny.

What's wrong with me?

You...

You fainted in the library.

You scared us to death.

Ziye.

You promised me

you wouldn't overexert yourself.

How could you...

It's fine.

I just fell asleep while

reading the books.

You almost died,

yet you're still so stubborn.

You're here too?

I’m fine.

Chief!

I’ll ask the medicine hut to make medicine for you.

Just prescribe the one

I usually take.

I'm afraid it's not enough.

This is a serious matter.

Then,

let's add 25 grams of aconite.

Aconite is extremely strong.

How can your weak body

stand it?

Let's remove the anemarrhena asphodeloides.

Instead, add 15 grams of cinnamon

and 30 grams of lily, okay?

Fine.

Add in the guilingji tablet

and it should be enough.

Yes.

Well,

Mr. Huo, please take her

to the medicine hut.

Leave it to me.

I'm fine.

Don't act tough.

Here. Slowly.

I'm fine now.

Go back to work.

By the way.

Shuang Hong,

help me bring

more medical books here.

But Chief…

Chief...

Stop reading.

Stop...

Go.

No.

Do you need anything?

This is tea.

It's sweet.

The medicine is bitter.

Have some.

You really forget the pain after you recover.

Do you really think

you're immortal?

What else do you want?

You woman.

You're so ungrateful.

Go back and rest.

You...

Look at me.
