Mind your feet.
Be careful.
We found it.
Tian Zhen.
You saw it, right?
We have to be careful when we harvest it.
Our trip will be in vain if we sever its root.
And, you have to be quick.
We might not be able to go back if the weather changes.
That won't happen.
It already rained today.
That's why I dare to come here.
Mind your feet. Follow me.
Okay.
Be careful.
Hey, be careful.
Be careful.
Okay.
Be careful.
Good.
Mission accomplished.
Hold it horizontally.
The root is really long.
Yeah.
Its root is really long.
I've never seen such a long root before.
It's definitely a treasure.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Don't move.
Give me your hand.
Slowly.
Watch out!
What's wrong?
You were bitten by a snake.
-Don't! -Suck it out!
You watched too many dramas.
What should we do then?
Call for help!
Go back!
I'm lost!
I don't know how to get back!
What if the snake bites me
-after this? -Call someone!
-There's no signal here! -Tou Tou, look for a rope.
-Look for a rope. -I have one.
I have a rope.
Wait.
Calm down. I'm fine.
Calm down.
Stop trembling!
I...
Tie the knot tightly.
Luckily, it didn't bite you.
When there's a snake,
the antidote will be nearby.
Here.
Tian Zhen?
Ren Tian Zhen?
Tian Zhen,
you mustn't sleep now!
Wake up!
Open your eyes!
This is...
Come here!
Apply pressure onto his wound!
Hurry!
Tou Tou!
We're here!
Over here!
Ren Tian Zhen?
Over here!
Keep an eye on the water.
How is he?
Luckily, Tou Tou
tended to his wound in time.
His internal organs weren't damaged.
That's great.
By the way,
the ginseng farmer just brewed
this antidote.
Feed him.
Luckily, it didn't bite you.
Tou Tou,
luckily, it didn't bite you.
Tian Zhen's life isn't in danger now.
Everyone, don't worry.
Stop right there.
Where are you going?
I'm going to check on him.
Check what?
I'm going to check on him.
Are you going to check on his dead body?
Mr Ren had emphasized time and time again
that you guys
weren't allowed to dig for ginseng.
It's fine that you disobeyed him.
But how dare you coerce Tian Zhen
into joining you?
He's my only son!
-That's not it. -His life is connected to mine!
It was Mr Liu.
Mr Liu, he...
Mr Liu?
You mean Liu Chang Qing?
What benefit did he give you
for you to bring Tian Zhen along?
Do you know
that Liu Chang Qing
has already left the mountain with the ginseng
that my son risked his life to gather?
Ling Lan,
calm down.
What's wrong?
Did I say something wrong?
It's all her fault!
My son is an obedient boy.
Why would he try to harvest ginseng without permission?
He wouldn't have been bitten by a snake
and ended up like this if it weren't for her!
Ling Lan.
Sun Tou Tou.
Sun Tou Tou!
Leave immediately.
Ling Lan.
If she doesn't leave,
I'll leave!
Master,
it wasn't me.
It was Liu Chang Qing.
Liu Chang Qing said
if we didn't harvest the ginseng, we would...
Shut up!
Don't chase me away.
Please don't chase me away!
It wasn't me!
It was Liu Chang Qing!
Tou Tou.
Leave the mountain.
Escort her down the mountain.
Tou Tou,
don't be too worried.
Madam is just worried
about Tian Zhen.
She said that out of spite.
I'm sure she wasn't sincere in chasing you away.
You should go back.
Tou Tou, I'm serious.
I believe you too. I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose.
I'm serious too.
You should head back.
I can get down the mountain myself.
You should check on Tian Zhen.
Although they said he was fine,
I didn't check on him myself.
I'm still worried about him.
Head back
and tell him to call me.
You hear me?
Will you be fine?
Of course.
It's not like I was bitten by a snake.
I'll be fine.
Head back and check on him.
I'll be waiting
for your news
at the village down the mountain.
Got it?
Go now.
Go ahead.
Remember to tell him to call me.
You have to be careful, okay?
Tell the guys not to worry about me.
Okay.
This is an unexpected calamity.
No, it's a man-made disaster.
We don't know what happened for sure.
We mustn't jump to conclusions.
Tian Zhen.
Tian Zhen?
Are you awake?
Mum.
What's the matter?
I'm a little thirsty.
Have some salt water.
I'm sure he's starving.
I'll make him some food.
Slow down.
Take a small sip.
Here.
Mum.
Where's the ginseng?
You're still thinking about the ginseng?
Liu Chang Qing left the mountain
together with it long ago.
You're truly
dumb.
How could you do
whatever people tell you to do?
You're so silly.
I...
Slowly.
I'm fine now.
Don't...
Don't worry about me.
Don't worry about you?
You almost died, you know?
Mr Qiu said
you were bitten by a Vipera russelli siamensis.
My goodness.
Tou Tou.
Stop calling for her.
I've already chased her away.
You...
You chased her away?
Mum,
I was the one who promised Mr Liu
that I would harvest the ginseng.
Even now, you're still
trying to defend her?
This time,
it...
It wasn't Tou Tou's fault.
She insisted on
following Dad's instructions.
It was my fault.
I wanted to retain the apprentice class.
The apprentice class
is Dad's life's work after all.
That's why I promised Mr Liu to do so.
Tou Tou
joined me
in order to help me out.
Mum.
You...
You maligned Tou Tou.
Kid,
you risked your life
just to fulfil his request?
Mum.
You...
This time, you mustn't chase Tou Tou away.
This accident
was my responsibility.
Ling Lan,
I heard what Tian Zhen said just now.
Keeping one's emotions in check
is something we have to practice forever.
You lost control of your emotions today.
Tou Tou.
Where is she right now?
Tou Tou isn't here.
Your mother chased her away.
What are you doing?
I'm going to look for her.
How could you look for her in this state?
You...
You should rest first.
Mum.
Tou Tou is bad at directions.
She got lost once
when she entered the mountains.
I'm worried about her.
Calm down.
We can call her.
Hao Hao!
Is anyone there? Help!
Help!
Hao Hao!
Help!
Hao Hao!
Miss, please save my son!
Hurry up!
He fell unconscious!
Hurry!
Does he have epilepsy?
I don't know!
He has never been like this before!
He only became like this when I sent him to school today!
What are you doing?
I'm a doctor. Listen to me.
Okay.
Son?
Her phone is switched off.
Mum.
How long has it been since Tou Tou left the place?
Mr Ren, are you looking for me?
What are you doing here?
Didn't I instruct you
to escort Tou Tou down the mountain?
She didn't want me to escort her.
She told me to come back and check on Tian Zhen.
But...
But how could you let her
leave by herself?
There's only one road to get down the mountain.
She should be fine.
Besides, she said she would wait for us in the village below the mountain.
What's the matter?
Tou Tou.
Tou Tou switched off her phone.
We couldn't reach her.
She spent the entire night in the yard last night.
I think her phone ran out of battery.
Mum,
help me up.
Miss, how is he?
His pulse is stable now.
His life is out of danger at the moment.
This is great.
-Thank you, Miss. -You should
still send him to the hospital for a check-up.
Epilepsy needs to be treated.
He won't be this lucky next time.
You're right.
There's transport that can send us to the town hospital in our village.
What are you waiting for then? Hurry and go.
You're right.
-Come on. -Son.
-Okay. -Up.
Hold the rod for him.
That's his treasure.
Thank you.
My child,
hang in there.
Miss!
-Hurry up! -Coming!
Hang in there!
Mr Ren, Mr Qiu,
we went to the village to inquire about her.
There was no one in the reception house.
-Yeah. -There was no one in the hotel too.
We asked the ticket office too.
They said they didn't see her.
Are you sure?
Yes.
The vehicle that was heading to the city departed this morning.
They didn't see her.
Where can she be then?
It'll be dusk soon.
And, she's a girl
trapped within the forest.
What if something happens to her?
It's all my fault.
Ling Lan, calm down.
Mr Qiu,
you and Ling Lan
can bring the students
and catch the next ride.
You guys should head back.
No! I'm going to look for Tou Tou.
Don't worry about her.
Alright. You guys.
Li Quan.
Stay here with me. We'll wait for Tou Tou.
Don't worry.
Dad,
Mum,
I'll stay here too.
Tian Zhen will stay.
Don't worry.
I'm here.
Li Quan,
look after Madam.
Yes, Master.
You guys must apologise to Tou Tou
on my behalf if you see her.
Alright.
Don't catch the night ride.
You guys must reach home by nightfall.
Take care of yourself.
Just go.
-Miss. -Wait, mister.
-Miss. -This is nothing.
-Miss, wait! -Don't do this.
Miss!
I already told you. Don't be so courteous.
Miss, I haven't got to thank you yet.
I'm lucky
to encounter you today.
Coincidentally, you're a doctor.
I'm so thankful to you.
You saved his life.
It's fine.
As long as the kid is safe.
Besides,
doctors are meant to save lives.
Although that's the case,
and this may be nothing to you,
you're still
my son's benefactor.
I don't know how
I can repay you.
Let me kowtow to you.
Mister!
This won't do.
Listen.
It's fine as long as the kid is safe.
You don't need to...
What's wrong?
If you truly wish to repay me,
can you give that to me?
You mean this?
This is inappropriate. It's cheap.
-My son just picked it up. -It's not.
To me, this is more valuable than money.
-Really? -Yeah.
Alright then.
Sorry about this.
Miss,
why don't you join us for dinner?
No, thanks.
Go and check on your child.
Mister, you should check on your child.
Miss,
you're a kind Samaritan.
Thank you.
Thank you!
It's all thanks to you.
My son was lucky.
I'm lucky to encounter you today.
Coincidentally, you're a doctor.
I'm so thankful to you.
You saved his life.
Hello?
Sun Tou Tou, do you think it's fun to vanish like that?
Where are you right now?
Wait. Are you okay now?
You...
I'm at the town's health centre now.
Hello?
Tou Tou!
Was it fun to disappear on us like that?
-I didn't! -Why did you run away?
-We were worried. -I didn't disappear.
Do you know how many people are worried about you?
Are you okay now?
I'm fine now.
My mother is worried about you.
What are you doing here?
Did you fall and get hurt?
If so, what are you doing here?
Tell me what happened. I'll punish you later.
I met a kid in the middle of the road.
I saved him
and sent him to the health centre.
His father...
His father called me a doctor.
That was my first time
hearing someone refer to me as a doctor.
Master,
I think
I've found my calling.
I wish to be a doctor.
I truly wish
to be an excellent doctor.
Master,
I've decided that you're my master.
You'll be my master
for the rest of my life.
So, please teach me.
I'll definitely study hard under you
and strive to improve myself.
Once I master the required skills,
I'll definitely spread the name of our sect.
Please believe me.
I will accomplish my mission
and not let our sect down.
I don't expect that much from you.
And, I don't need you
to bring honour to our ancestors.
I only hope
that you won't tell anyone my name
when you get into trouble in the future.
Is that all?
Yes.
Alright.
Words alone are no proof.
We need to write it down.
You don't trust me?
That's not it.
Roubecca said this before.
If students of the apprentice class wish to treat people,
they have to sign a contract.
After the required amount of training time,
we need to take the apprentice exam and pass it.
Only then can we practice medicine.
Before this,
I wasn't paying attention at all.
Now, I wish to study hard.
We should still write it down.
Only then, I can have peace of mind.
We wrote it down long ago.
We already signed the note
during our first encounter.
When?
You forgot.
Is that so?
Read your ID number for me.
3-1-1-1
9-9-7-0-8
0-9-4-1-2-0.
You're an experienced TCM practitioner indeed.
I can't read
a single word you wrote.
Sign it.
Where?
Here.
Keep this copy.
Keep it well.
It'll be of use in the future.
Really?
Can I sue you with this if you don't pay up?
That's not it.
That was not an official document.
It wasn't a formal one.
You have to at least
give me a printed version.
That's exuberant.
Alright, let's go back.
Master, wait.
Please keep this.
Why are you giving me a broken rod?
It's not.
This is the consultation fee
I received from my first patient.
People say
that we must hand our first consultation fee
to our masters, right?
Okay.
I'll keep it for now.
This is good.
I can use it to beat you up
when you commit mistakes in the future.
Alright.
Master,
this rod
is at least
worth ten yuan, right?
This broken rod
is worth ten yuan?
-You can keep it. -Wait.
-No, thanks. -It's not like I want money from you.
Why are you so stingy?
Wait. Just hold it.
We can talk this over.
The money box.
You should put ten yuan into the money box.
I saved someone,
right?
Come, I'll carry it for you.
Master, is this okay?
Put ten yuan for me.
Is it comfortable?
How's the strength?
Tian Zhen, take my bag!
What's going on?
What's wrong with Liu Chang Qing?
-What's going on? -I don't know.
Hasn't Mr Liu dealt with the issue yet?
That's impossible. He already took the ginseng.
Put that down!
We bought the beds with our money.
-You... -We're leaving them here.
Hurry and move them away.
What?
Everyone, come and see.
They're already starting to clear the dorm.
How could they do so? Are they seizing our place?
Didn't Liu Chang Qing tell you anything?
Master, call him.
Call him right now.
Sorry about this.
Professor Ren, Ms Song.
I've let all of you down.
Liu,
did you not manage to pay your debt?
Or have you
mortgaged the entire place?
Lu Chang Qing,
where's the ginseng?
Have you delivered it to him?
Speak up!
Tian Zhen risked his life to get it for you!
What do you mean by keeping quiet?
That ginseng of yours,
I can't return it to you right now.
-I'll kill you! -Tou Tou!
-I'll kill you!
-Tou Tou!
(One day ago)
Mr Liu, over here, please.
Mr Liang.
I went to the golf club to look for you.
They said you were here.
I play golf on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I swim on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
You're a healthy person indeed.
Here, have a seat.
No, thanks.
Have some water.
It's okay.
Your water is too sacred for me to drink.
Don't misunderstand me.
I'm not saying that I mind drinking with your cup.
You're a saint.
This isn't water.
This is gold.
It's just normal drinking water.
It's not expensive.
Do you need anything?
You see,
I brought a treasure here.
It's a 100-year-old wild ginseng
that I newly harvested
from Changbai Mountain.
I guarantee it's genuine.
Professor Ren had his eyes on it since ten years ago.
Everyone was protecting it.
I got myself in trouble
when I harvested it.
It was dangerous.
I killed
the venomous snake
with one blow during the crucial moment.
Without me,
Professor Ren's son
would be dead by now.
So, you saved Professor Ren's son.
It's no wonder Professor Ren gave this treasure to you.
Not to me, to you.
Professor Ren said
this was for you.
Our TCM industrial park
can only survive
with your help.
Please take a look.
You have no idea.
Searching for this ginseng
was harder than mining for gold.
Throughout our journey,
we have to follow
the trees
with markings on it.
Mr Liu, you're too modest.
You're daring indeed.
I'm sure the issue with the TCM industrial park
will be resolved successfully.
Thank you.
So, according to what you said,
Professor Ren's son risked his life to harvest this for me?
-That's right. -I don't deserve it.
Wait, Mr Liang.
Mr Liang.
Where can you find
another 100-year-old wild ginseng?
Tell me how old you want the ginseng to be.
Forget about acquiring investments.
I dare to say
that Mr Liang has blocked my contact number.
Let me ask you this then.
Where's the ginseng?
Where did it go?
You'd better give me a logical explanation.
That's the creepy part.
I don't know where it went either.
You don't know...
Yes.
I did carry the ginseng down the mountain personally.
When I reached home, I found an expensive
and solid wooden box.
I placed it inside.
After that, I kept it in a safe.
It was always there.
But when I opened the box
in front of Mr Liang,
it was gone.
You
-must be lying! -Did someone take it away?
Who else knows about the ginseng
besides you?
No one else.
Only my assistant and I knew about it.
However, I kept an eye on the box during the entire meeting.
Your words make no sense.
How could no one else take it? Don't tell me the ginseng ran away by itself?
I did search for it
online.
They say that ginseng has life.
They can run away by themselves.
Think about it.
Many strange phenomena happened.
Maybe it did run away.
It ran away, huh?
Liu Chang Qing,
you'd better stop your nonsensical tale.
Today,
it's either you return the classroom to us,
return the ginseng to us,
or let me
beat you up!
Tou Tou!
-Enough! -I'll kill you!
Tou Tou!
Master! Don't let him escape!
Tou Tou!
He must be lying to us again!
Listen to me.
Let's trust him. He's not lying.
But Master...
Think about it.
He'll incur more losses
if the industrial park is closed off.
What should we do then?
Bone Zhu.
Bone Zhu has a ginseng that's several decades old.
We can find him.
Let's find him.
It's too late.
I just confirmed it over the phone.
The bank has already initiated the mortgage procedure.
Even if someone is willing to invest in it,
it's too late.
Will this happen for real this time?
I guess our class will be cancelled.
I resigned
in order to study here.
I never expected this to happen.
Where should I go now?
We can still study in the medical centre, right?
Don't be so down.
Theory classes might work,
but not practical classes.
For example, the medical centre is too small to accommodate
the beds we need to use
for Ms Dong's technique class.
That isn't the main point here.
The main point is our accommodation.
Local students or those who own a house will not be affected.
But what should we do about the students from other states?
Don't tell me Mr Ren
is going to let them stay in his house?
Why don't you guys do what I'm doing?
You can get a job on weekdays
and attend the class and consultation sessions
during weekends.
I burnt my boats just to study medicine here.
I didn't expect this to happen.
If I go back now,
my wife will definitely mock me.
She said it's tough enough
to sustain your own life if you study Chinese medicine.
I never expected
a famous figure like Professor Ren
to teach without any classrooms.
Is there still hope for Chinese medicine?
If I work
as a pharmaceutical representative,
does this count as my medical qualification?
What's with the despondent attitude?
The class hasn't been cancelled yet.
Besides, look at all the people we have.
I'm sure we can figure something out.
I'll ask my buddies when I get back.
I saw many cheap places
for rent before this.
I'll contact them when I head back.
I'll tell you guys about it once I confirm the details.
Just wait for my news.
Quan,
you're not the unluckiest one here.
At least you have a job and a place to stay.
You should cherish them.
Ming's Mum, listen.
Le Le likes
Ms Meng the most.
-It's the same for us. -Yeah, right?
It's been some time since I saw you.
Ms Meng
is pregnant.
Really?
The two-child or three-child policy is the trend nowadays.
Our government is providing plenty of benefits to them.
Ms Meng always wanted a child.
Now, she's finally pregnant.
-Yeah. -It's great news.
What are you doing here?
Tomorrow's the weekend.
I was thinking
that I would bring Le Le back with me
and let him spend the weekend with us.
Do you remember the wrong date?
Le Le will only head
to his father's place next week.
