Guards!

Did anyone come in or out last night?

Madam Li said His Majesty wished
to bathe and pray.

So she called over ten maids to serve.

Over ten?

How many people went in?

And how many people came out?

Eh...

His Majesty is missing.

Seal gates. Search secretly.

Now.

Yes.

How's it going?

Master Pei, the gates have all been sealed.

No trace of His Majesty.

Register of those who left the city?

The register.

This incense calms the mind.

You can use it

before sleep.

[The Soul-Chasing Incense]

[still came in handy.]

[It seems]

[you have already left the city.]

[Do you think in this world,]

[there is still a place for you?]

Auntie,

everything seems fine for now.

Let's take a rest.

Come on.

Have some water.

Water.

We left the city at Mou hour.

We've been moving for more than half a day.

I think they

don't know which way we went.

Let's rest a bit.

Okay.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

It's been 20 years.

We finally escaped.

Even if it's a cage,

it was still the home
we lived in for 20 years.

Auntie,

anywhere you're at is home.

When we get to Lingchuan Town,

I must try the thing you mentioned,

Yulu Bun.

Okay.

[Junlai Village]

When I caught this sheep,

a wolf tried to steal my prey.

I imitated a tiger's roar.

Roar, roar!

I actually scared the wolf away.

Not bad.

Hey,

that young man,

are you looking at me?

Who are you?

Why're you in our village?

Ladies,

I am just passing through.

It is almost dusk.

Is there a place nearby to stay?

There are no inns near here.

You can only stay in our village.

Can my aunt and I

stay in the village?

My aunt is right there.

Your aunt can stay, but you cannot.

Our village does not
accommodate male guests.

Wait a moment.

I am a woman.

I am back.

Is the meal ready?

I am starving.

Welcome home.

Brought strangers back again?

Zhang Guifen,

I've been waiting for long.

You, go inside.

I have something to do.

Take it.

[Sun Daqiang, Broker]

Take it.

Don't touch her!

What kind of man are you?

How can you bully a little girl?

You...

Come on.

It's time to eat.

Come.

Hurry, hand these out.

Eat more.

Come on.

Wu,

eat while it's hot.

Here.

Thank you.

Is this the wild goat
Guifen hunted on the mountain?

She is the bravest,

running up the mountain
with a bow and arrows.

All you are capable.

You can carry such
heavy charcoal and bamboo.

Indeed.

Today is our day to go up the mountain.

We're no weaker than men.

It might be a bit presumptuous,

but just now,

I seem to find no men in the village.

Junlai Village

has no men.

All the men were taken to serve in the army.

Almost all of them died out there.

The government even occupied our land.

It's our own land,

but we have to pay rent to use it.

They also raise the rent arbitrarily!

[Zhaodi, Villager]
We have never seen

anything so absurd.

She is talkative.

Don't blame her.

Now, in our village,

only Tudou's land is left.

Although he's young,

he is the only male.

He is the young village head!

I am the village head.

Ladies.

Sun Daqiang agreed
to intercede with the Local Gentry.

Our land rent can be postponed
for a few days.

You are amazing.

Indeed.

I can not only hunt goats,

but also drives away hooligans.

Alright, stop joking.

Hurry up and eat.

[Zhang Guifen, Villager]

Where did you come from?

Let me guess.

You were ditched by husbands,

and met on the road.

As aunt and niece, you came
to Widow Village because we're famous.

We are

not.

We misunderstood.

Come on. Eat.

Eat more.

Have some meat.

Okay.

[She is a woman!]

Fortunately, she is a woman.

Bear with it a bit.

It will heal faster this way.

Rulan,

why is Junlai Village

called Widow Village?

This all happened a long time ago.

I was not originally from here.

I was a young woman who loved medicine.

My maternal family
arranged a marriage for me.

[Zhao Rulan, Villager]

However, practicing medicine

involved making a public appearance.

As a result, it brought a lot of gossip.

My husband blamed me
for lacking virtue and divorced me.

My maternal family

wouldn't accept me either.

With nowhere to turn,
I tried to drown myself.

It was Guifen who pulled me back.

Be careful.

What is so bad?

[What is so bad?]

[Silly girl.]

[Got bullied?]

[I'll help you.]

[No place to go.]

[Come to my village.]

[If anyone hurt you again,]

[I'll make them pay!]

She brought me back to Junlai Village,

and encouraged me to keep practicing.

Here,

everyone treats me as a real doctor.

Somehow, this matter was spread out.

And there was that military recruitment.

The women from all around
came one after another seeking refuge,

gradually forming the Widow Village.

We accompany and rely on each other

to spend the rest of our lives.

It's really quite good.

When I get old,

maybe I'll have a chance to join you.

Wu,

it's time to get up.

Auntie,

let me sleep a little longer.

I know you were exhausted yesterday.

But it's nearly noon.

Get up and eat something first.

Help!

The officials are k*lling people!

Is there any law left?

Let go.

Let go of me!

I'll bite.

Don't go.

Why are you taking her?

Sun Daqiang, you took my money yesterday.

And now you changed?

Are you still a man?

This has nothing to do with land rent.

I just brought Master Hu over.

[Hu Quan, Local Gentry]

You took this cloth
to the market to sell, right?

We wove this cloth.

Is there a problem?

What are you looking at?

You bad guy!

Slap her!

You'll regret it!

I'll beat you up!

Don't!

Don't go over.

How dare you hurt me?

We didn't.

And you started it.

How could you break in
and arrest people at will?

Is there any law left?

I'll tell you now.

Qinnan County has issued a new decree.

No market tickets,

no sales of cloth.

Throughout Qinnan,

only the Hu family can sell.

What you did

was disturbing the market.

Arresting you is right.

Now you tried to hurt me.

Your crime is increased.

Take them away!

Who is it?

It's the middle of the day.

It's the Buddha!

There really is a Buddha.

Could it be

something evil?

You've done all the bad things.

The heavens are watching.

Sir,

I think we should call it a day.

But the people of Junlai Village

illegally sell cloth.

We have to

make them pay for this!

I don't care if it's a God or a ghost.

It can't protect them forever!

Let's go.
