Try one.
It's "Crispy Dragon Gallbladder."
Take it easy.
There's a lot.
Take these letters with you.
Hide them in the houses you just mentioned.
It's dynamite.
Choose the person you hate the most.
Here are three pigeons.
Take them back with you.
And three cloth strips.
Can you read?
No.
Three words, it means "Wait a bit."
Two words. "No go."
One word. "Go."
Got it.
How many words for "Go"?
Two.
Nonsense.
There's only one word.
No other smarter guy?
Master, all the other villagers
are too sneaky.
Hard to manipulate.
Big Pie Chu,
how many words for "No go"?
Two.
How about "Wait a bit"?
Wait for what?
How many words for "Wait a bit"?
Thr... three words.
Make sure you memorize them.
If screw up, I will peel your skin!
When everything is done,
You will have a house in the city.
Master will also give you 20 gold coins.
Thank you.
Retrieve the kites.
Didn't you know those two people?
Those were Chao and his wife.
They couldn't pay off their debt.
So Master sent them both
up to heaven.
You just ate the skin of a human face.
A little bit thick.
You can leave now.
Master,
wouldn't it be easier if just ask the "Cloud Clan"
to attack the village directly?
Why so complicated?
When bandits do bad things,
Better look like doing something bad.
When we do bad things,
Better look like we are doing something good.
Is the village really a "dragon pit"?
The fortune-teller won't be wrong.
He said my father was buried there.
Someday I will become an emperor,
as long as I take over the village.
It shouldn't be too much trouble, right?
It shouldn't be.
Any mail for Desire Village?
There was one letter.
I just delivered it.
A train is coming!
Make way for the train!
Hurry up!
What train?
Major event! A train!
Go. Go.
Hurry up!
I can't pass. Hurry up!
Come on! What train?
A train is coming!
What? A train is coming!
What is a train?
What train?
When I went out to gather some medicinal herbs today,
I bumped into Big Cow from the next town.
He told me that
a railroad is going to be built, and
it will go through our village.
It's very possible they are building a train station here.
What's a train station?
Pigs live on farms;
cows, in stables;
and trains, at train stations.
I just came back from the City.
How come I didn't hear anything?
It's a secret.
You are not supposed to broadcast it.
This is wonderful news!
I started the village over 20 years ago.
Finally it's time for us to strike it rich.
How so, Chief?
I may not have seen a train before,
but I've heard how trains carry tons of money
and dump it into train stations every day.
People living near the train stations are all loaded.
OK.
Let's prepare some nice dishes tonight
and celebrate.
Big Pie!
I want to eat your "Tyrant's Chicken Stew."
Umm... Sure.
Hold on. Why are you carrying those bird cages?
To make some "Tyrant's 'Bird' Stew" for you.
Even Big Pie knows how to crack a joke now.
Little Pie, here's some candy for you.
Come, let me release your shackle.
Let me tell you this.
Gather everything you need and pack up tonight.
Why?
I am going to make your life better soon.
We are moving to the City.
Why are we moving to the City?
Anyway, your life is gonna get better.
What are you doing?
Aren't you going to make some "Tyrant's 'Bird' Stew"?
We only have two birds left...
My dear fellow villagers,
tonight let's eat and drink to our hearts' content.
Pretty soon we will all be rich.
Maybe my son will ride the train home.
Let me raise my cup to you all!
Ride the train home?
You are day-dreaming.
Trains are monsters.
Railroads will destroy our Feng Shui.
My fellow villagers,
No trains to our village.
Not only allowing the trains to our village,
I'll also have the train station
built on the land right by the entrance
where the house named Lee.
That's my school!
That's why I am tearing it down.
Who authorize you do that?
Because I am the chief.
I started this village.
You guys all came after I did,
didn't you?
You... you shameless,
evil-looking scoundrel!
Who are you calling a "scoundrel"?
Let's go.
Why does he look so dark?
Dr. Liu,
there you are. Why don't you go over and take a look?
What happened, Autumn?
I... I don't know.
I went out to fetch some water.
When I came back, I found him like this.
What is it?
He's dead.
It looks like he was poisoned,
or got struck by bubonic plague.
Bubonic plague?
Hurry up! Carry the body outside and set him on fire!
Hurry up and carry...
Come over here!
Chief, you can't set him on fire.
This could be a homicide.
We need to report it to authorities for a thorough investigation.
Report to authorities? Then the trains won't come.
What... what's more important? A train or a person's life?
Dr. Liu said it's bubonic plague.
Why are you so fussy?
You...
Big Bro is sleeping.
I'll sleep with you.
Where was I?
Why are you so fussy?
My fellow villagers,
the murderer must be among us.
If you burn up Big Pie's body in a hurry,
you are trying to destroy the evidence.
Destroy the evidence? That's not right.
Right. Why do I have to destroy the evidence?
You are the suspect. Arrest him!
I am a lay monk. "Rainbow" is my alias.
My real name is Fortune Tien.
I am a well-travelled man who happened to pass by your village.
I saw an aura appearing right above your area.
That's a lucky sign indicating your community is sitting
on a land of good Feng Shui.
If you don't mind,
I'd like to stay here for a couple days to practice meditation.
I am the village chief.
Unfortunately there's been a death in our village,
so it's not appropriate for us to take in visitors.
Oh my!
This poison that killed him was not just poisonous
but also deadly.
It will stop the body from decaying because no bugs will touch it.
The body will not decay.
It must be Autumn.
Tie her up!
Chief!
There's no way Autumn could have done it.
Where did the poison come from?
Of course it's her. Who else?
I meant well for her
when I married her off to Big Pie.
But she hated him.
How many times has she tried to run away in vain?
This time she finally decided to kill her husband.
You meant well for me?
You sold me to Big Pie for a couple of pigs.
How ungrateful! Are you even human?
I supported and raised her for so many years.
Instead of returning the favor, she is seeking revenge.
If we keep her, we are keeping a disaster.
Put her in the pig cage tomorrow.
Chief, give me three days.
I will find the murderer.
No need for that.
Chief, I can find the murderer now.
How?
Please follow me.
This box looks just like an antique.
I wonder what's inside.
Inside the box is...
The "Worry Ridder."
What is that?
Every one of us
has an untold secret.
If you keep it inside too long, it becomes a source of discomfort.
Pretty soon it will make you sick.
You might as well remove it
and forget about it.
Which dynasty was this thing from?
It was from...
the Zhou Dynasty.
Did they have brass in the Zhou Dynasty?
Zhou Dynasty...
Have you ever lived in the Zhou Dynasty?
I can tell right away you are very good at what you do.
You must be hungry after such a long journey.
Bring out your best wine and food, everyone!
Chief!
What are you doing, Uncle Lin?
These pigs were born from the sperms of the male pigs that I raised.
Time for them to come home and see where they came from.
Guess the pigs share your last name then?
They are the descendants of the Lin family.
Big Pie owed me money.
He owed me money, too.
Don't touch anything in the kitchen.
I still need to look into it.
Doctor!
Seriously, you are taking the blanket?
I brewed this wine myself... for special guests only.
Let's welcome Rainbow the lay monk together.
You can stay here for as long as you like.
Let's raise our cups to him.
Blessings and long life to you!
Thank you, Chief!
I wish all of you
blessings and long life as well.
I'll drink to that first.
Bottoms up!
Have some more wine.
Sure.
Thank you, Chief!
Your warm and friendly welcome
has touched me greatly.
I wish all of you
blessings and long life as well.
I'll drink to that.
Scholar Lee,
you are well read.
In your experience, what do you think this is?
Rainbow, the lay monk, said
this thing was from the Zhou Dynasty,
which reminds me of a legend.
Tell us about it.
There was an official in the Zhou Dynasty.
He had this precious instrument.
People said it could remove worries.
And then what?
I forgot.
You suck at telling stories.
Anyway,
we've gained a treasure today.
Chief,
why don't we sell it
and split up the profit?
Of course we'll sell it.
But we'll use the profit to build the train station.
All right. Nobody takes anything.
What are you doing? You're still wearing it.
Where are my clothes?
Where are my shoes?
Where's my precious instrument?
I've been robbed!
What kind of village is this?!
You are
the wife of the dead guy.
People say when a hare dies, even a fox will be sad.
You can't avoid the sadness.
You are only human.
Hey, what are you doing?
Your husband just died. I am not a heartless man.
I am Rainbow the lay monk.
However, it was unfortunate.
You and him... it's like a beautiful flower planted in a pile of stinky cow poo.
Fortunately,
the flower hasn't lost its petals,
even though the cow poo is gone.
What are you doing?
Hey, hey!
Stop!
Don't kill yourself.
What are you doing?
Move away!
What are you guys doing?
Move away!
What are you doing? Help!
I... I'll go get a stool.
Forget about the stool.
Save her first.
My hand...
My hand....
You're stepping on my hand!
Oh, my hand.
Autumn,
don't be silly.
Killing yourself won't solve the problem.
Your husband is dead. So what?
Just find another one.
Right.
Autumn,
I found these two letters on Big Pie's body.
They could be his suicide notes.
Take a look.
She just tried to kill herself, right?
You think she would be in the mood to read some suicide notes.
Let me read them to you. Untie me.
Untie me.
You can read it this way.
Why did you tie me up?
I didn't tie you up.
They wanted your precious instrument.
My job is just to watch you.
Untie me then.
I didn't tie you up,
so I can't untie you.
Understood?
I know you didn't tie me up.
That's why you can untie me.
If you had been the one to tie me up,
I wouldn't be asking you now to untie me.
Understood?
No.
Read it.
It's upside down.
"To: Chief Wang..."
And then what?
The letter is inside the envelope.
"Dear uncle Wong the Double-Faced Evil Monster,
Your people have gone undercover for years.
For the purpose of this particular battle.
It's time for you to succeed and shine.
Take the dynamite and wait for my notice.
Charge into the City Court and occupy the City.
Sincerely, Dark Cloud of the Cloud Clan"
Bark Cloud
Bark Cloud?
Dark Cloud!
"To: Dr. Liu"
The letter is inside the envelope.
"Dear County Sheriff Liu—the Dark Wind and Poisonous Rain,
Please follow the order of the Double-Faced Evil Monster.
Take Golden Lin, the Mercy Buddha with a Thousand Hands,
and Scholar Lee, the Cold-Blooded Heart-Eating Ghost.
Charge into the City Court and occupy the City.
Sincerely, Dark Cloud
of the Cloud Clan"
The Cloud Clan is made up of a bunch of robbers who kill and steal.
Dark Cloud is their leader.
I've lived here a bit over three years.
Autumn,
did you know they are bandits?
Of course they are!
Otherwise why would they tie me up like this?
Could they have anything to do with Big Pie's death?
Maybe that's why he was poisoned to death.
I have an idea.
Come with me.
Come. Follow me.
Can I go with you, too?
Did you see Big Pie eat anything?
No.
This stinks.
Maybe this was the wrapper for the poison.
Pigeons.
Where did they come from?
Big Pie brought them back.
There were three of them.
I killed one.
Cloth strips.
Words.
I think I know what happened.
These are messenger pigeons.
For what?
There are two cloth strips here.
I can't read.
This one says, "Go" and...
this one, "Wait a bit."
What did the one that just flew away say?
What?
No worries.
Let me go get it back.
Sorry, Ma'am.
Spring,
...I am going to be a rich man soon!
Who is it?
It's me. Open the door.
What are you doing here?
Go home now.
No, I won't.
Take me with you now.
Did you get the money?
No.
How can we leave without the money?
Let's go.
No.
Let's go.
Why are you poking holes through my window?
Let's go.
Are you out of your mind?
I won't take you with me without the money.
I know.
You are always fascinated by Autumn.
Now she's being a widow,
Do you want me to make your dream come true?
Really? Thank you.
You...
Let's go.
Stop poking!
Let's go.
Stop poking! Please.
Let's go.
I didn't catch the pigeon,
but guess what I found?
What?
A bag of dynamite.
It looks like
they are really going for a revolt.
The pigeon that I just set free,
maybe it was used to contact the bandits.
What did the cloth strip say?
Do you think they'll act right away?
Why don't you release "Wait a bit" then?
That makes sense.
How many words are there in "Wait a bit"?
Six.
Oh, thank you.
It's three!
Liar!
Moron!
Autumn, you should leave now.
This place is the bandits' homebase.
You wanted to run away from Big Pie so badly before.
Now that he's dead, why aren't you leaving?
You are waiting for Dean Wang.
Who's Dean Wang?
He's not coming back.
He'll be back soon.
When is he coming back?
How did you know he'd be back?
This morning
a mail deliverer visited me.
Autumn Chang!
It's me.
"Dear Autumn, how are you?
It's been three years since I left.
I am hoping to return home soon.
Hope we can relive our dream together.
This morning
a mail deliverer visited me.
I received a letter
from Dean.
I'd been waiting for him for three years.
Finally he was coming home soon.
But I felt like dying.
Because I had married Big Pie Chu,
I felt too ashamed to see Dean.
Right at that moment,
I saw Little Pie lying next to a dead chicken...
Little Pie,
show me that pack over there.
I am not sure where the poison came from.
The Universe probably sent it to me to set me free.
The poison had a very strong odor.
I almost puked as soon as I placed it near my mouth.
Later on, I thought about placing the drug in a bun.
It would probably be easier to take it that way.
Then I cut up some green onions,
and added some pickled cabbage and chili pepper.
I thought to myself,
"This should make everything tastier."
So, did you eat it?
No.
A train is coming!
Because Big Pie came home.
He said he was taking me to the City.
I thought, "I don't have to worry about seeing Dean any more."
And then what?
And then Big Pie wanted to cook.
I killed one of his pigeons.
He seemed furious, but
he held his anger in.
He then told me to fetch some water.
When I came back with the water,
I saw him cooking.
He must be really hungry.
He saw the bun next to him.
He wanted to eat it.
Did you stop him?
I was going to,
but then I thought,
"If Big Pie's dead,
then I can be reunited with Dean."
I think... I deserve to die.
How could I have done such a thing?
Even if Dean is back,
I can't carry this sin of mine
and live with him for the rest of life.
Don't worry.
If the Universe arranged the poison for you,
I am sure it would also make arrangements for me to save you.
My specialty is helping people get rid of hatred
and guilt.
Do you do it with that precious instrument of yours?
Yes.
Even if you get rid of my sin,
what I did was already done.
If you forget about what you did,
then you didn't really do it.
Give it a try.
It really wasn't your fault.
Why don't you untie me, Master Wan.
Let's go and get my precious instrument back.
No, I don't steal.
Besides,
it's time for me to practice meditation.
Come on.
What do you mean "stealing"?
I am taking back what's rightfully mine.
How's that stealing?
Why don't you loosen me up?
I can turn your life around
so you won't be so miserable any more.
Easy, easy!
Turn.
Not "around."
"Over."
Over the fence?
I'll open the door for you.
No need.
You go.
Why me again?
Of course it's you.
Because you are already in there.
Then what are you doing here?
Are we seriously going to talk about this now?
He's going to wake up soon.
Go!
Oh, Dean my son,
It's been three years.
The moon is so bright tonight.
Do you know if there are four baboons
in your village?
Where are you going?
Don't jump!
What are you trying to do?
What a weird day!
How come so many people want to kill themselves?
Stop pulling me!
I told you already.
I can help you get rid of your worries.
Eh? What are they doing?
So there you are!
These two are my assistants.
This is "No Pain,"
and this is "No Itch."
What did you bring us here for?
Come.
Hang on.
Is it going to hurt?
No more than the pain in your heart.
Now,
tell me your worries.
I'll help you forget them.
Wait.
I... I am a little scared.
What are you scared of?
You were not afraid to die earlier,
and now you are scared?
You are right.
Now you can tell me.
Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival,
I fell in love with Dr. Liu.
Slowly I grew attached to him.
I thought about him every day.
Later on,
I got tired of my husband Golden Lin.
I cursed him every day,
often wishing him dead.
Because only when he is dead
can I legitimately marry Dr. Liu
and become his wife.
Until yesterday.
Dr. Liu gave me a pack of drug.
He wanted me to slip it into Golden's food.
I knew what kind of drug it was.
I thought, "Finally, my dream is about to come true."
But I got scared.
I tossed out the drug.
Little did I know it would cause Big Pie's death.
Even though I wasn't the murderer,
I indirectly caused his death.
I want to forget all of those unpleasant things.
Goodbye.
Open your eyes now.
Who am I?
Aren't you the man that removed my worries?
What worries did you ask me to remove for you?
I can't remember.
Are you happy?
Of course!
Why did you ask me that?
You can go now.
OK.
Now it's your turn.
What worries do you want to forget?
One year at most.
I'll come back and marry you.
Hold on.
I am not ready to forget.
Let me tell you this.
Right now in front of you
there are only two options.
Option 1:
You don't forget your old lover,
and you live in pain for the rest of your life.
Option 2: You forget your old lover,
and you start a brand new life.
Which option will you choose?
Option 2!
Choose Option 2!
Who's over there?
Me.
You... Aren't you supposed to be meditating?
I am done.
That was quick.
Pick Option 2. Pick Option 2.
I'll choose Option 3.
If I can wait
until Dean comes back,
I'll take one last look at him,
and then kill myself.
Or if he comes home,
and I am already dead,
then at least he can visit my grave
and burn some incense to show respect.
You are still thinking about killing yourself!
Master,
two pigeons just returned.
Which two?
"Wait a bit" and
"Wait a bit."
"No go."
Which one flew back first?
Not sure.
Bastard!
Find me the leader of the Cloud Clan.
You've been helping us for so many years now.
Little did I know
the leader of the Cloud Clan is a mail deliverer.
No wonder the officials can never catch you.
I like being a mail deliverer.
I deliver mail. I deliver death.
I like doing both.
You like delivering stuff?
I've got a gift delivered just for you.
This is called "Iron Horse."
For you.
I already inspected the village.
All my buddies are lurking outside the village.
They are ready to charge into it any time.
Here's a messenger pigeon for you.
There's a cloth strip tied around its foot,
which says "Go."
If there are no issues,
let it fly back to me with the message.
Make sure everything is fool-proof.
I am a scholar.
I can't afford to let people say
I am a murderer.
OK.
Hold on.
We are now living in a republic.
Why are you still wearing your old uniform
from the Ching Dynasty?
The new one doesn't look good on me.
What's going on with Big Sis?
We've been waiting for several days.
Why don't we just charge into the village?
Big Sis wants us
to wait so we wait.
We are the Cloud Clan.
If the clouds dissipate,
we'll be good for nothing at all.
What is that?
I learned it from the Gweilo.
Good morning, Dr. Liu.
Good morning.
Eh, how come your window has holes?
You did it.
I did?
When did I poke those holes in your window?
Stop pretending.
Are you mad at me?
It was my fault last night.
Why don't you give it another try?
Once you get the money,
we'll leave.
What's wrong with you, Dr. Liu?
You are not making any sense.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
My fellow villagers,
you found out yesterday
how important trains are to our village.
When the trains come, we'll all strike it rich.
To make sure they come and stay,
we'll need to build a train station.
To build a train station,
we'll need money.
Do you want the trains to bring wealth to us?
Yes.
Then why don't we have each family donate
some money to the project?
No.
I ask you for money, and you say "No."
Get out of here!
Chief,
I have something to report to you.
The lay monk who came last night,
he is really sinister.
What's wrong?
We tied him up completely,
but he managed to go
and play tricks on Spring.
Let her forget all the worries.
All her worries?
It's gone.
Tell me,
Where's the treasure box?
Under the bed.
Take a look.
It was under my bed.
How did it manage to place itself under this bed?
Between one bed and another,
there is an untold secret.
An ordinary man like you
will never get it.
Only I know how to operate the Worry Ridder.
If you try to play with it,
you will be doomed.
Can you really get rid of people's worries?
You don't believe me?
Try it.
Let me try it.
Untie him.
Don't ever try to fool around.
If anything bad happens to me,
they will deal with you,
especially Master Wan.
He's defeated all his challengers.
People call him
"The Magic Knuckle King."
Moron!
Liar!
What are you guys talking about?
Nothing.
Tell me now.
What are you trying to forget?
Last night I ate a rat's tail by accident.
I've been feeling nauseated.
I don't want to remember it any more.
Who cooked this?
I did.
There's a rat's tail in the dish!
Chief, rats live on human food, too.
They are clean. Don't worry.
Who cooked this?
I did.
There's a "beep" in the dish!
Chief, "beep" live on human food, too.
They are clean. Don't worry.
Chief,
do you still remember
you ate a rat's tail?
What rat's tail?
You ate a rat's tail last night.
Do you still feel nauseated?
No way.
The lay monk really got rid of your worries.
Really?
He's really good at what he does!
You can help people forget their worries,
but can you make people listen to you?
Of course.
Once people have their worries removed,
they are like a blank sheet of paper.
Whatever you tell them,
they will believe.
I want everyone in the village to listen to me.
Can that be done?
Give me back my clothes.
Let me stay at the temple,
and prepare two copper coins for me.
Tell everyone in the village,
whoever comes to have their worries removed
will receive two copper coins for free.
When everything's over you'll get your coins back.
If you dare to lie to me, you are doomed.
I'll beat you up to be a dead monk.
OK. Line up properly,
or no money for you.
Doggie Egg,
what are you lining up for?
To get rid of worries and make some money.
What worries do you have?
I can think of some easily.
After it's done,
these two coins will be yours.
Now tell me.
What worries do you have?
I don't have worries.
What are they lining outside for?
Weren't you there earlier?
It was you who were there.
Was I?
Having no worries is a kind of worry, too.
How did it go, Doggie Egg?
It's wonderful to forget.
Next!
My #1 Treasure Box!
You stole it from me, didn't you?
Are you out of your mind?
It was you who went to see that lay monk.
And then what?
And then you came back and took the treasure box.
You said you were going to see him again.
Come with me!
Move forward!
Open the door!
Give me back my treasure box.
What treasure?
Spring said I brought my treasure box to see you.
You never came to see me.
Let me take a look at your memory.
Go home now, children.
Go.
Tie him up quickly.
I can also help you locate
all the money that you forgot you had.
Really?
Then hurry up and open the door.
Help me find more money.
Come on. You're not supposed to "pull" the door.
You're supposed to "push" it.
How could I have forgotten?
Autumn.
That lay monk
is wicked.
You know what?
All the villagers now are obedient to Chief's every command.
For sure he is going to lead them to a revolt.
I think we'd better hurry and run.
I thought you were an invincible Kung Fu master.
How can you be afraid of a couple bandits?
Unless you are a liar.
I am not a liar.
I was a timid child when I was little.
People bullied me.
That's why I took up martial arts.
I got better at Kung Fu,
but I am still very fearful.
All my life I've never really fought anyone.
To fight well, you'll need energy.
For some reason, I just can't muster up any.
Then what about your alias, "the Magic Knuckle King."
How did you get it?
That alias...
Once it travels outside the village,
no one will recognize it.
Master Wan,
you are a good guy.
Hurry up and leave now.
You are really not leaving?
OK.
I'll go to the City and report everything to the Court.
Then I'll come back and rescue you.
Take care of yourself.
I'll be back soon.
Should I bring an umbrella?
Come with me.
You fool.
What are you looking at?
Scram!
Where is Master Wan?
Let me tell you. I'm sparing your life.
Take Little Pie and get away from here.
I want this house.
Hurry! Hurry!
Take everything.
What are you doing?
You fool,
you are still looking.
What are you doing? Tie her up.
Tie her up quickly.
You are asking for death, you stupid girl.
When I come back, I'll burn you alive.
Let go of me.
Wait...
Autumn, why don't you just marry me?
Good thing Big Pie's dead.
It's nice now that Autumn is a widow.
However, what good does it do me?
Spring is gone,
and Autumn still hates me.
What in the world am I doing?
Come, let's drink.
How come you are not drinking, Mr. Tien?
I am not here to drink.
The wine that your village produces
is not for everybody.
Then what are you doing here?
To help you.
You know way too much.
This wine...
is not for everybody.
Right.
What is your name?
He doesn't remember.
He's forgotten everything.
Look at him.
Chief, it's your turn.
What do you mean "my turn"?
You think I am that dumb?
You are not dumb, just a little gullible.
Gullible? Me?
Grab him!
Oh!
Let go of me.
Autumn.
Little Pie, where's Autumn?
Autumn!
Who tied you up and put you up there?
Little Pie is a retard.
No need to worry too much about him.
You are the only one that remembers everything.
You are lonely and all by yourself.
All the things in the past,
just forget about them.
Forget about them?
What will happen if I do?
If you forget,
you can start a new life.
But Dean...
Shush.
You are thinking...
way too much.
Every morning before I wake up,
I seem to have this dream.
But whatever was in my dream,
I could hardly remember.
I just feel like I am the luckiest woman in the world.
Because my husband Fortune Tien spoiled me like crazy.
Everybody loves him.
Who am I?
My husband, Fortune Tien.
People come and ask him for help every morning.
Good morning, Chief!
Good morning, everyone!
He has this beautiful box.
Inside lies this precious instrument.
He calls it
"The Worry Ridder."
It gets rid of the villagers' worries.
People are therefore worry-free.
Their main task is to dig for treasures.
My husband says our village has good Feng Shui.
If we find the treasures,
all our lives will be changed for the better.
But for some reason people have poor memories.
They often forget the little things.
Why are you sleeping in my house?
This is my house.
Then who's the one behind you?
Why are you sleeping in my house?
This is my house.
Then who's the one behind you?
Sometimes men even forget their own names.
Good morning, Mr. B and Mr. C.
So their names are written on their foreheads.
What happened to the names on your foreheads?
Your name is missing, too.
What was the name written on your forehead?
It was "Mr. C."
No, I am Mr. C.
I am Mr. C.
You are Mr. A.
Am I?
Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C,
From now on don't wash your faces.
OK.
Do you want me to blow dry your face?
Sure.
Can you do that for me, too?
It feels good.
As for women, a petal is drawn on each of their faces.
I am First Flower.
This is Third Flower.
Good morning, Ma'am!
Good morning, Chief!
What would we do without Fortune Tien?
"Spring morning arrived unnoticed,"
"Because we were all sleeping like a baby."
"A noisy storm raged through the night,"
"But none of us were worried."
"In the winter thick blankets keep us warm."
"Throughout the year Fortune Tien keeps us safe."
Clink-clank, clink-clank, clink-clank, clink!
What would we do without Fortune Tien?
It's another new day.
All the misfortunes we experienced in the past,
we've tried our best to forget.
From now on make sure you remember only one thing,
which is,
to keep digging for treasures.
Digging for treasures.
Make sure you remember
to tell me your worries if you have any.
Because I can help you
get rid of the worries.
Now that you've been fed,
go back to work.
Even though life appears peaceful,
I often feel a disconnect.
My husband says,
"If you can't remember it, it means it's not important."
But I am really curious about
what I've forgotten.
A dead body!
Chief! A dead body!
Whose body is this?
Did this person live in our village?
You seem to have all forgotten.
This is the body of
a cold-blooded bandit,
whose name stirred widespread fear and paranoia.
He was Dark Cloud of the Cloud Clan.
Dark Cloud?
No wonder his face looks so dark.
The last time they launched an all-out war,
they wiped out our village.
Mr. A.
Mr. C.
The bandits killed your wives, too.
So I had a wife.
I can't even remember what my wife looked like.
You were in so much pain.
You asked me to help you forget it all.
Did I have a wife?
No, you didn't.
Why not?
How would I know?
Not only did you not have a wife,
Mr. B,
but your parents
were also killed by the bandits.
Really?!
Mom! Dad!
First Flower,
you were seriously injured, too.
Mr. D,
you had
an older brother,
but the bandits killed him as well.
Big Bro...
That day, our village lost more than 20 lives.
I happened to pass by the village,
and I saved you.
Our chief Fortune Tien is a big hero!
Big hero!
Chief,
you perform righteous acts,
and your Kung Fu skills are the best, bar none.
What would we do without Fortune Tien?
What would we do?
Chief, I didn't know you are a Kung Fu master.
What is your alias?
My alias is...
Tell us.
My alias is...
"The Magic Knuckle...
King."
Big Bro...
Big Bro, wake up!
Why did he call him "Big Bro"?
He's a retard.
He's always acted crazy, right?
Hurry up and carry him out.
Carry him out
and bury him.
We can never allow Dark Cloud to come back to life.
Make way.
Don't you know?
I am Rainbow Slicer.
I only yield to seniors and children.
If you don't make way for me,
I will slice you up.
Your brain will explode.
Body in blood.
Your stomach will burst open.
Your bones will break.
No descendants to your name.
And you can never be
reincarnated.
Big Sis!
Why did it take you so long?
I had to deliver mail.
What is this?
Iron Horse.
Does it eat grass?
No.
I've never carried any horse in my life.
Let me ride it later.
Kiddo,
go home and find Big Pie Chu.
See if he's taken care of the business.
If he hasn't,
then take care of it for him.
Understood.
Take this messenger pigeon with you.
Release him when you are done.
Then meet us at Rolling-Horse Hill.
Understood.
Kiddo,
I gave her your letter.
A gorgeous girl.
Are you ill?
Isn't anyone taking care of you?
Later on let me fix you something to eat.
"Dear Dean,
The windy season is here again.
All the flowers and blades of grass
are calling out your name.
The rooster has been counting the days since you went away.
The butterflies are recounting everything about you.
You said, 'Ducks don't fly
because they are yearning for someone.'
I wish I were a bird,
so I could fly to you this instant.
I often think about the Shangri-La you talked about.
How I wish you and I could live in that
worry-free,
timeless place!
But does Shangri-La really exist?"
"The winds have stopped blowing.
All the flowers and blades of grass have
also stopped calling out your name.
I've been waiting for you for two years.
I feel like a dry, dirty dish towel."
"Dear Dean,
Today your father asked me to marry Big Pie Chu.
He told me to stop dreaming.
You are going to be a prestigious government official someday.
And I am just a woman who brings bad luck.
A duck is no match for a dragon.
Ducks may not fly,
but they can walk.
As for me, I want to run.
I want to run to you.
But do you still remember me?"
Hey, everyone!
Time to eat!
Wonderful! we are having buns today.
Buns!
- What are you doing?
Grab him.
Go, go grab him.
I tried to remove his worries a couple times.
So much trouble.
Grab him.
Go, go grab him.
Beat it!
Be careful! Careful!
Too dangerous.
Be careful!
Too dangerous...
My precious instrument!
Too dangerous...
Don't hit my...
precious instrument!
Oh my!
Bury him!
Are you sure?
Am I sure?!
Shove that into his mouth!
How dare you!
Does the law not apply here any more?
You... Who are you?
Uncle Golden Lin.
You don't recognize me.
Me?
I am not your Uncle Lin.
I am Mr. A.
Who's Mr. A?
Master Wan.
Me? I am not Master Wan.
I am Mr. B.
And I am Mr. C.
Are you all joking?
Is there a Mr. D then?
Mr. D is here.
Stop goofing around.
Where's my dad?
Who's your dad?
The village chief!
Hi, Chief!
You are the village chief?
Yes, I am.
If you are the village chief, then what about my dad?
I am Number 2.
Dad!
He's a bandit.
Arrest him.
Hurry, grab him.
Grab him.
Take him away.
Hurry! Take him away.
Autumn!
Release the pigeon!
Who's that?
Why does he keep calling me "Autumn"?
He's a bandit.
Don't be afraid.
Go home now.
Let me go take a look.
Dad,
I am an awful son.
I was too ashamed to come back to see you.
Ashamed...
Three years ago,
You wanted me to go exam for public officiats.
Guess what happened?
When I was halfway to the City, the revolution happened.
And the great Ching Dynasty was gone. - Gone... gone... gone...
Then I ran into a bunch of defeated Ching soldiers.
They robbed me blind.
I almost lost my life.
Fortunately, the Cloud Clan saved me.
I am riding on the somersault clouds.
Now the village is about to be wiped out,
I need to get you out of here, Dad!
Out of here... out of here...
Dad!
What happened?
Why have you become like this?
"Baaaaa."
You two are too noisy.
Where's Autumn?
I want to see her.
You and Autumn.
What's your relationship with her?
She's my wife.
Autumn is your wife?
She's my wife.
I am her husband.
That's impossible!
She promised she would wait for me.
It's impossible she would marry...
The Worry Ridder.
Whose wife is Autumn now?
Mine!
Have some tea, Chief.
Do you have worries, Chief?
Let me get rid of them for you.
Don't touch it!
See!
"Welcome to the Worry Ridder.
What you are doing now
involves danger.
Please think twice before proceeding.
To view your life, click 'Life.'
To remove your worries, click 'Delete.'
To restore your soul, wait for further instructions.
You are about to enter the viewing mode.
Use your right hand to turn the handle.
Use your left hand to choose your option."
Quit it.
I want you, Spring.
Quit it.
I want you, Spring.
Stop! Don't get any closer.
Why are you staring at me like that?
You are so pretty.
Stop that nonsense.
Third Flower,
was your old name "Spring"?
I've always used the name "Third Flower."
Do you like Mr. C?
Mr. C?
No.
He looks like a monkey to me.
Can you write a couple of words for me later?
I can't read.
How's that even possible?
The lingering dreams from the past are hard to forget.
Souls are restored where the four baboons gather.
Four baboons...
Are we eating the same things we ate yesterday?
Yes.
Just like yesterday.
We are eating the same things we ate yesterday.
Four baboons...
That's right. We had the same food yesterday.
You can remember things just by knocking on your head?
Four baboons...
It really works.
Why don't you give it a try.
Four baboons...
Stop right there!
Take a step back.
Stop!
Take a small step forward.
A little bit more...
Stop!
Eureka! I found it!
I am the fourth baboon.
It's right here.
Start digging, you all.
Right here.
You move forward.
What's wrong with you?
Move forward.
I need a couple of people here.
Keep digging.
Hurry. Hurry up.
I hear...
I hear everywhere chirping...
I hear everywhere chirpinig birds...
I hear...
I hear everywhere...
I hear everywhere chirping...
I hear everywhere chirpinig birds...
I hear...
I hear everywhere chirpinig...
I hear everywhere chirpinig birds...
I hear everywhere...
I hear everywhere chirpinig birds...
You shameless, evil-looking...
Shame on you!
My name is Fortune Tien.
Chief!
What are you doing, Uncle Lin?
Your pigs were born from the sperms of the male pigs...
Me?
Mr. D
Hurry up and dig!
I am dying, Chief!
Save me!
An arrow in your arm won't kill you.
You are a big hero, Chief!
Save me!
Save him!
Look at the lovey-dovey couple.
Lovey-dovey my ass!
That's right.
Chief will never allow his son to marry Autumn.
You are right.
Aren't they bandits?
Stop groaning!
Didn't I say I would help you?
So then why are you still groaning?
What are you doing?
Is this a good position for it?
No...
Remove it now.
Yes, Chief.
Oh, by the way,
write a new name tag for Mr. D.
OK.
I can't guarantee it will work.
I don't care. Just do it!
Hurry up, please.
What are you doing?
Girls, go mountain-climbing.
Go mountain-climbing.
Mr. D,
is anything bothering you?
No.
Your arm doesn't hurt any more,
does it?
Not any more.
Why am I shot again?
Who shot an arrow into my arm again?
You are healed.
Mr. D,
did you know from
before the bandit we arrested?
No, I don't.
Who shot me with an arrow?
Who shot me?
Where are you going?
So you are a member of the Cloud Clan.
Our village is going to be raided...
What are you doing here?
To feed the sheep.
Go home as soon as you are done.
Yes.
A bird!
Allow me!
I got a leg.
Big Sis, there's a cloth strip.
"Go."
It's from Kiddo.
Bastard.
Who told you to shoot the pigeon?
I was going to grill it...
My fellow villagers,
I just got wind of some important information.
The bandits are going to raid our village again.
We need to come up with a plan
and defeat them together.
In our village,
we've dug quite a few holes.
Let's place inside each hole
some wooden nails,
and cover them with hay.
Once the bandits fall into the holes,
they will be impaled and die.
Wonderful!
Let's divide into groups.
Mr. C,
take a man with you
and some barrels of corn starch and rocks.
Then go and hide behind the temple.
When you see the bandits,
spread the corn starch all over them,
and then stone them to death with the rocks.
Great!
Chief,
why corn starch?
We have nothing but corn starch in our village.
When the bandits come, just throw it towards their faces.
Then they won't be able to open their eyes.
Chief, I prefer hiding on the roof.
Put away your teeth.
My fellow villagers,
as long as we are positioned properly,
we will be able to wipe out all the bandits... from top to bottom.
How wise, Chief!
How come Kiddo is not back yet?
Let's wait for the night to fall,
whether he's back or not.
For the future of the village,
let's give it one more push.
All of you, follow me!
Follow me!
Let's go dig for treasure.
I am not hungry
or tired any more.
Next!
What's wrong?
I am not sure.
Once I am in there,
my worries will be gone.
Hmm, no more worries.
Then...
will you still smile at me like this in the future?
I don't know.
Some of you should defend our village.
The rest of you, keep digging.
Can't you be a little more careful?
That's so wasteful!
Use your brain, won't you?
Here we are.
Dad.
We ran into some bandits, and my mom was abducted.
Don't be afraid.
I'll take care of you.
Autumn, I'll go rescue your mother.
Wait for my return.
OK?
Dad.
Don't forget about me.
What are you doing?
Your dad borrowed money from me to save your mom.
From now on, you are my property.
You'd better behave youself.
Are you thinking of your dad?
He'll save your mom and bring her back.
Don't worry.
All right.
Don't be sad.
I am leaving now.
Don't forget about me.
One year at most.
I'll come back and marry you.
Promise you'll come back to me.
What are you doing?
I...
What did you see?
Whose cocoon is this?
Give it to me.
Chief,
someone found a box.
Who did? - I did.
This box is too small.
Probably not for holding treasures.
You guys keep digging, OK?
Then what is it?
It looks like a treasure box to me.
I don't know.
I'll come get you once I get it to open.
Come to think of it,
it may look like a treasure box now,
but once you open it,
it might shoot out hundreds of poisonous arrows.
Chief, I've never seen that many arrows.
Won't you just shut up?
OK.
Go and keep digging. Hurry!
Hurry up. Go.
Once I get the box to open,
I'll come get you.
Hurry! Go and dig more!
Where are you going?
I...
The Soul Restorer.
It is true.
So this was what you were looking for.
You weren't looking for treasures.
Once your worries are removed,
only the Soul Restorer
can bring back your memories.
How do you open this?
You got rid of all of our memories
just so you could fool us into finding this thing for you.
You liar!
Who are you calling a liar?
Before all the villagers could do the whole day
was just eating, drinking, peeing, pooing, and sleeping.
What was there for you all to hang on to?
Hurry and pack up.
Pack up and leave with me.
Why do I have to leave with you?
Of course you're leaving with me.
You are my wife!
I am not!
You are!
I am not!
If the box contains poisonous arrows,
I mean hundreds of them,
then each arrow should just be about this size.
Dean!
You stop right there.
Why is she dragging him?
Ma'am, why are you dragging me?
Stop asking. Just run with me.
Stop! Stop running!
Why is Chief running after them?
Should we run too?
Stop running!
Chief said to stop.
Stop running!
Run faster!
Stop! Stop runnning!
Stop right there!
Hurry up!
Why is Chief chasing after us?
We are playing a game with him.
If he catches us,
we will have no food to eat.
Then we'd better hurry.
Run faster!
Stop!
The train.
Take us, Train!
The train.
Rescue us, Train!
The train.
Bandits!
Come back.
They are bandits!
The bandits.
Catch the bandits.
If you get caught, you'll have no food to eat.
The bandits are here.
I got you.
Why the hell are you grabbing me?
Let go of me.
No more playing!
No more playing! Let's run.
The bandits are here.
We are stuck.
Hack!
Hack off the bridge?
The bamboo branches.
Chop off all the extra ones!
Whose idea was it to make this thing so big?
Hack!
Let go of me!
We are not playing any more.
Not any more!
The bandits are here.
Hurry up!
The bandits are here.
Move to your positions.
The bandits are here.
You are not supposed to be here.
Where's your position?
I thought we'd stopped playing.
This is a new game. Hurry!
Mr. A,
you are supposed to be at the village entrance.
Go now!
Easy.
First Flower...
Oh!
You know I've been waiting for two years.
I feel like a...
like a dry, dirty dish towel.
I am late.
You are not supposed to be here.
Go away!
What!?
You are not supposed to be here.
Man.
You got shot!
I got shot!
Save me!
You got shot again?!
The rooster has been counting the days since you went away.
Move into your positions and kill them all!
From top to bottom!
The butterflies...
You said, "Ducks don't fly,
because they are
yearning for someone."
No Pain and No Itch,
kill him!
Toss it at her!
Careful, Mr. C!
I am dying...
Mr. C!
Are you all right?
You can't die yet.
If you die, then there'll be no Mr. C.
Mr. A can't die, either.
How are you doing, Chief?
What are you doing up there?!
Come down this minute!
Save me,
my big hero!
OK,
I'll save you.
Come...
But can I ask you to
open this for me first?
Here you go.
"Turn back the Worry Ridder,
and the Soul Restorer will appear."
Holy Mother.
Your mother wrote to you?
Your mother wrote to you!
Listen.
You are the only one that can save us all.
You are a great Kung Fu master.
You know martial arts.
You are the legendary "Magic Knuckle King."
I am no Kung Fu master.
You are the "Magic Knuckle King."
No, you are.
You are -You are.
I am -I am.
Right, you are.
OK, you listen to me.
You listen to me.
Let me help you restore your power.
Come...
I often think about the Shangri-La you talked about.
How I wish you and I could live in that
worry-free...
Kiddo!
This is the scholar's.
I am really afraid.
Don't be.
It'll be done in no time.
Let me find yours.
You son of a bitch,
hiding in the pit with a girl!
You son of a bitch! - Let go of him!
You son of a bitch. You betrayed us.
You be...
You betrasyed us.
This is yours.
"Turn back the Worry Ridder,
and the Soul Restorer will appear."
I've restored your memories.
You are now
"the Magic Knuckle King."
You go.
Go and kill all the bandits.
What bandits?
Bandits? I can't beat the bandits.
Don't be afraid.
What in the world are you afraid of?
What trauma did you endure in your childhood?
Come, let me take a look.
Big Sis.
How should we deal with them?
Very good.
Look.
Kiddo's wife is gorgeous,
isn't she?
I told you.
I'll help each of you find a wife.
Each one of you.
This was supposed to be a happy event.
Very good.
But
Brother Number Five is now dead.
He died alone.
So sad.
You go and keep him company.
I'll get rid of all the memories you had before you were ten.
Done.
Now you are someone
without childhood memories.
No.
Big Sis.
Master will never let you go free.
If you are manly enough, tell me your name.
I am the Magic Knuckle King.
Just you wait and see.
Big Sis.
Our big hero...
Congratuations, all my fellow villagers!
Because of my ability to remain calm under pressure,
and my invincible
fearless leadership,
all the bandits are now gone.
We killed all of them, from top to bottom.
Liar!
He's a liar!
Fortune Tien was planning to run away with all the treasures we dug up.
Tie him up,
and split up the treasures among us all.
Are you ok?
Take this to the chief's wife.
The big hero asked me to give this to you.
This happened a year ago.
I woke up that day suddenly.
I found myself in a cave,
wearing the Worry Ridder on my head.
Inside the Worry Ridder, there was a cocoon.
Next to me was a dead body.
I didn't know what had happened.
Nor could I remember who I was,
or where I lived.
My brain was drawing a blank.
There was
a blurry face that belonged to a woman.
I didn't know who she was,
or why her shadow
would appear in my mind.
Now I only have one wish.
Please restore my soul.
As long as you can help me remember who I am,
and who that woman was,
I'll have no regrets.
My cocoon is inside that cloth bag.
The dark gray one.
First Flower,
can you do that for me?
Is there anything else you would like to say?
At least
let me remember your face.
Is that OK?
Just think of it as a dream.
If this is a dream,
then after I wake up,
what will I find?
You are thinking way too much.
Done.
Your soul has been restored.
Thank you, Madam Chief!
How are you, Madam Chief?
About face!
Run!
I helped the villagers restore their souls,
so they made me their chief.
I suggested we make some handicrafts
and turn our village into a paradise.
This way when the train comes,
it will surely bring all of us wealth.
When I saw everyone practice and prepare with joy,
I realized the worries I had before were unnecessary.
I guess this is the Shangri-La I had in mind.
Actually, I have another little secret.
To face Dean without guilt,
I made everyone forget
about my past with Big Pie and Fortune Tien.
This little selfishness of mine
It's not too much, is it?
Butler Hu,
I think you've forgot something.
What is it?
Has any of the pigeons returned yet?
It's been a while.
No.
But a mail deliverer has brought us something.
Why don't you bring him in?
What is this?
Dynamite!
