Lao Ma, there are snakes on the trees too.
That's a good sign.
It's Snake Valley, of course there are snakes.
Snake is one of the Five Great Immortals.
Snakes have intelligence.
Aren't you afraid they'll retaliate?
Retaliate?
A snake is worth half a silver dollar.
That's half a day's salary for us.
Try to be a man.
Here, have a snake gall.
Stop joking, I couldn't eat that.
Incompetent.
Don't scare me, Lao Ma!
You're such a coward.
-You'll always be poor. -Let's go back.
Go back?
Whenever something happens, you run.
You deserve to be poor.
Catching snakes is easier than chopping trees.
Er Wan.
Er Wan!
Don't panic, don't panic...
Victory Cigarettes.
Chienmen Cigarettes.
Three Castles Cigarettes.
Cigarettes for sale!
Do you have Chienmen Cigarettes?
Two packs for a dollar.
How about three packs?
My profit margin is low on these.
Wouldn't they be fake cigarettes?
Come on, let me try one.
Trying to steal one?
Forget it!
You little punk.
You're pretty sneaky.
Qing falls, warlords take over.
A mighty nation in disarray.
I dress up to serve my country,
but I keep running into obstacles.
What a pity.
Keep your voice down.
You're too noisy.
Sit down!
Say what?
Don't be angry.
Here, my love.
Have an apple.
Third class cabins are so dirty and stinky.
How can anyone stand this?
We'd be better off moving to first class.
Go help yourself.
An average citizen like me belongs here.
Don't belittle yourself.
Although you're marrying a man of a higher status,
I was willing to marry you.
I wasn't willing.
Your status is too high.
I'm afraid I might fall.
Let's play.
Deal the cards.
Hurry up!
Captain,
is our boss okay in the third class cabin?
Should I go check?
He's there with a date.
Why bother them?
Do you have the hots for Miss Jing Lan?
No way.
You better not.
Remember the three taboos.
Hey, new recruit.
What are you looking at?
Come make your wager.
What are you doing?
Xiao Yong.
Just ignore him.
He won't play, it's just us.
Let's go!
Make your wager.
I'll bet half your wager.
Dried snake, snake gall, snake jerky,
snake skin, snake wine; all 50% off.
Next stop, Yong'an!
Don't miss your chance to buy.
Everything is on sale on this damn train.
Clearance sale on snake oil and snake wine!
I haven't been home for years.
There are less tress in the mountains.
They look rugged.
It's because of villagers chopping trees,
but they turn a profit.
What if they cut down all the trees?
What will happen in the future?
The future is not yet here.
The present.
The present is most important.
Snake skin, snake wine,
all 50% off.
Excuse me.
Don't rub me, Jing Lan.
Didn't you learn that from college?
What are you talking about?
You caught me off guard.
Nice catch, brother!
Who are you exactly?
I'm the successor to the King of Snake.
Snake catcher from Yong'an,
Mu Sheng.
So you're the renowned King of Snake, Jr.
Pleased to meet you.
Sorry for what happened.
Officer.
This man just saved your life.
How about some gratuity?
Gratuity?
You two need to stop.
You're in this together.
It's obvious you released the snake.
It's a poisonous snake.
No one would dare raise it.
Correct.
I've seen this snake when I was young.
Even snake experts wouldn't dare raise it.
The lady's very knowledgeable.
Jing Lan, you're speaking to an outsider.
I'm not sure who's the outsider.
Mu Sheng.
I'm Jing Lan.
Long time no see.
My hand's dirty.
Save it.
Those of you with arthritis and kidney disease, listen up...
Sit down.
All snake merchandise are 50% off.
Buy yours now before we reach Yong'an.
What's going on?
Train operator!
What happened?
Is it a train robbery?
What is that thing up there?
Is that girl okay?
It's okay, dear.
Let me out!
Let's move!
Close the window!
Go now!
Jing Lan!
Watch out!
Be careful, Jing Lan!
Get back!
Get back, hurry!
Don't mind me!
My dear!
You okay?
-Wei Bin! - Wei Bin!
Get yourself together!
Hurry!
Chew the garlic and spit it, the more the better.
What?
Chew garlic to repel snakes?
Shut up and chew it!
Hurry!
You did this, didn't you?
Quit your nonsense, Ma Shaoyang.
Isn't he the successor to the King of Snake?
He can control snakes!
Help!
Did you bring the snakes here?
Quit doubting!
Go help her!
Don't go there, it's dangerous!
Brother Mu Sheng.
What is that?
Don't just stand there, run!
Get back!
Jing Lan.
Take them away.
What about you?
Forget about him, just leave!
Leave!
Jing Lan, leave!
Hurry!
Let's go!
Brother, what do we do?
-I need help! -Okay!
-Let's go! -Let's go!
Move it!
Hurry!
Get moving, quick!
Hurry, block the door!
Open the door please!
We can't open the door, I must protect everyone!
Open the door, my husband's outside!
I'm begging you!
Open the door!
Or I'll kill you guys!
Open it!
-Boss! -I"m begging you!
Move aside!
Open the door!
Shut the door!
Are you trying to kill us?
Say it!
Tell me!
Keep your hands off him!
Say it!
What are you trying to do?
You better tell me why!
Boss, what is that thing?
What should we do?
I've never seen that thing before.
Hurry, block the door!
Come help!
Shut that door!
Let's go!
So many snakes outside! What do we do?
To the rooftop! Quickly!
Help me!
Come help!
I have realgar powder.
What now, boss?
Move aside!
Hurry!
Give me your hand.
Hurry up!
Be careful!
Give her a hand, quick!
What's wrong?
Stop yelling, or I'll throw you off the train!
Pull her up!
Hurry!
I'm out of water!
Retreat!
Let's go!
Captain.
I can't bear the pain.
Kill me.
Captain, kill me!
We gotta run!
Mu Sheng.
What do we do now?
Run to the locomotive.
Its temperature will keep the snakes away.
Run to the locomotive!
Hey, dear,
go slow.
Walk slowly.
Easy, be careful.
Come down.
Come down, quick!
Come on down!
Hurry!
Hurry up!
What do we do?
Go up the mountain!
Let's go.
Come on, get moving!
Hurry!
-Line up the haystack! -Okay!
Come help!
I have hard liquor!
Quick!
Wait for me!
Hurry up!
Wait for me!
Hurry up!
Mu Sheng!
Let's go!
Let's take a break here.
Have some water.
Here, Xiao Bao.
Tear your clothes to shreds.
Wrap your wound.
It will stop the poison from spreading.
Jing Lan.
Sorry that scared you.
Don't be afraid, I'm here.
I got poisoned too.
-Get the blood out for me. -Two silver coins.
Two silver coins?
How about one silver coin?
Fine.
I'll give you two silver coins.
I shouldn't have brought you to the countryside to give birth.
It's all my fault.
Let me take a look.
Nothing major.
We must get the poison out quick,
or her life will be in danger.
How?
Mu Sheng.
How do you treat snake poison?
Snake venom is very toxic.
My tongue gets swollen after sucking it.
You've got to save me.
I paid you.
Yong'an Village is nearby.
I have antivenom herbs at home.
-We can give that a try. -Okay.
Wait.
You use snakes to attack the train.
Then you get people to buy your medicine.
So you can reap in profit.
Not a bad plan.
That's right.
He charged me for sucking poison.
I heard there's a way to summon snakes,
it's voodoo.
Perhaps this is it.
Nonsense!
This gentleman
almost got eaten by snakes trying to save us!
Are you blind?
If Mu Sheng hadn't covered us,
none of us would be alive.
He just has basic knowledge of snakes.
This is what saved us!
I believe him regardless.
If you guys want to come along,
then do so.
Why didn't you explain to them?
I'm used to it.
Xiaoyou...Xiaoyou!
Jing Lan, take them to the shrine first.
Let's go.
Mother!
Mother, I'm back!
Mother.
Be careful.
Xiao Bao.
Xiao Bao!
Mother.
Jing Lan.
Why are you two together?
-We met on the train... -Jing Lan.
You're back.
Dad!
What happened?
Last night,
a den of poisonous snakes showed up.
They were biting everyone.
Mother!
Mother.
Mu Sheng.
Are you okay, mother?
I'm fine, nothing happened to me.
It's just the villagers
were bitten by snakes.
As long as you're okay.
Don't you have antivenom herbs? Give them to us!
That's right.
My wife's life depends on them, brother!
The herbs have been heated in the pot.
Give them to me, quickly!
Save some for me!
Those herbs are useless.
They only suppress the poison,
they won't neutralize it.
No, that's impossible.
You're still taking it?
That year,
I was bitten by poisonous snakes too.
Once I took the antidote,
I was fine after a few days of rest.
But after taking these antivenom herbs,
I feel sick and nauseous.
Dad.
I didn't expect this venom
to be so powerful.
How dare you say that?
If you hadn't been killing and selling snakes,
we wouldn't have had this disaster!
Exactly.
Those snakes came after you.
But you...
you skipped town to make money, ruined the entire village.
That's right.
I knew it.
I never get credit for good deeds,
and I always get blamed for trouble.
In recent years,
warlords bombed mountains to build roads,
villagers cut down tress by the masses.
Snakes lost their natural habitat and living environment.
That's the reason for the snake outbreak.
What are you talking about?
Warlords opened mountain roads.
Wasn't that done to help villagers make money?
What are you talking about?
Mountain roads was built to hijack resources
and prep for military operations.
It's an act of robbery.
You wanna die?
Enough.
Stop fighting.
Right now we must find a way
to get the antidote right away.
Mu Sheng.
Do you have any other solutions?
Based on the bite marks and toxicity,
the venom came from the banded krait and flower snake.
My father documented it in his King of Snake Chronicle,
these two snakes hide deep in the mountains.
They prefer darkness over light.
They are extremely poisonous.
Serpent flower in Snake King Valley is the only antidote.
Snake King Valley?
Where is that?
It's past the back mountain.
Let's go find it now.
Snake King Valley is full of danger.
A lot of brave men went there,
but none of them ever came back.
Not to mention you guys.
That's right, Jing Lan.
Stay calm.
Even if I have to fight through hell,
I still have to try.
I'll go with you.
I know the mountains much better than you.
I'll go too!
If I can't save my wife,
I have nothing else to live for.
Count me in.
I want to avenge my classmates.
Why are you still drinking?
I'm celebrating in advance.
Wine can help pump you up.
No kidding.
Oh, mine.
Jing Lan.
Right here, right now,
I would like to recite a poem for you.
I'm not in the mood.
Not in the mood?
Then I'll go take a piss.
Boss!
Grab this!
Hurry!
Boss!
You okay?
Come on.
Bring him up.
Scared the hell out of me.
Xiao Jia!
-Xiao Jia, get back here! -Miss Azi!
Realgar powder!
Hurry up and toss it!
Xiao Jia!
I'll kill you!
Be careful, don't shoot!
Be careful!
He's luring the snake back!
It's right here!
Mr. Shen!
Forget your suitcase!
That's my entire property!
Help me!
Come up!
Don't come near me!
This way!
Hurry up, brother!
Hurry!
Be careful!
Lao Cui, come quick!
Give me your hand!
Don't move, everyone!
Damn.
I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
You think you can mess with me!
Ma Shaoyang.
Look what you did.
-It wasn't intentional. -Stop arguing!
The raft's destroyed.
What do we do now?
The map is soaked.
Without the map,
how do we find our way?
To get to Snake King Valley,
we must go through Snake King Temple.
I remember Snake King Temple.
It should be towards the northeast.
You remember?
Are you sure?
Mu Sheng.
It's a matter of life and death.
Don't joke around.
If you all trust me,
then let's get moving.
If you don't,
then we go our own ways.
No.
I trust you.
Boss.
How do we proceed without a map?
We'll get lost.
That's right, boss.
You want us to get killed?
You have no courage at all.
You call yourselves soldiers?
Ma Shaoyang.
Take them back.
It's none of your business anyway.
No need to risk your lives.
If you guys don't go, I will.
The money in the drawer,
you guys can share it!
Miss Azi.
Thanks for saving me.
Just be more careful.
Do we have to go through here?
It smells in here.
That's python saliva.
Everyone be careful.
This is a rough path.
Just saying.
Can't we find another way?
That's the lumberjack from the nearby village.
Damn snakes.
When I get out of here,
I'll blow them up with cannons.
Damn it.
You murderers!
Why did you crush the eggs?
Snakes must be killed.
Keeping them alive will only do harm.
Snakes do not attack humans directly,
unless they feel threatened.
Cut the crap.
What about the anaconda earlier?
You drank realgar wine
then piss in the river.
That smell stimulated the anaconda to attack us.
What about my piss?
I'll pee again.
Mu Sheng.
Don't move!
Are you okay, boss?
You guys didn't leave?
You didn't give us the key to the drawer.
We can't afford to leave.
That's right, we need the money.
It hurts so bad.
What are you doing?
Don't even think about it!
Stay put, don't move.
What are you doing?
That's harassment, don't pull my pants!
Stop, it's embarrassing.
Boss, he's treating your wound.
Luckily we treated it in time.
That means I'm fine.
We must suck the blood out, or you'll become a cripple.
Then hurry up and suck it out!
Why should I help you?
Don't you want money?
I'll give you two silver coins.
But it's in a unique location.
No amount of money can solve it.
Find someone else.
Xiao Yong.
You're a new recruit.
I'm giving you the opportunity.
Come over.
Hurry up!
I'll do it.
Don't get me wrong.
It's every doctor's duty to save lives.
No matter who it is,
or what part of the body it is.
They're all the same to me.
Jing Lan.
Looks like
I have no choice but to marry you.
Come on.
Jing Lan.
Easy, Jing Lan, easy.
It wasn't me.
Ten silver coins.
Pay me later.
That hurts.
I hate you.
Look, everyone!
What's up in the trees?
Those are black widows.
Let's go.
Don't disturb them.
Let's go.
Run!
I...
That was a spider!
Are you crazy?
That was a spider.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Miss Azi, I'll help you!
Move aside!
Go!
Let's go, Jing Lan!
Xiao Yi!
Xiao Yi, get over here!
Xiao Yi!
Over here, Xiao Yi!
Let's go!
Hurry, get out of here!
Xiao Yi!
Come in.
Scared me for a sec.
Here are some candles.
Light them.
What are these paintings?
That looks like Nuwa and Fuxi.
Yellow Emperor and Gonggong.
I heard they had human faces and snake bodies.
Who's the dark-faced old man?
That...
Not sure.
That's the Snake King.
The legendary ancestor of all snakes.
My dad said
that Yong'an Village worshiped snakes long ago.
So they built this Snake King Temple.
Please bless us.
On July 7th of every year,
is the sacrifice offering of the Snake King Festival.
But ten years ago,
there was a snake infestation in the village.
Since then, the villagers forbid snakes.
So this Snake King Temple was abandoned.
It should be abandoned.
Why go worship snakes?
Hey, check this out.
Someone lived here before.
Look.
Miss Azi.
Have any villagers lived here?
I don't know of any.
Local hunters don't spend nights in the mountains.
It doesn't matter.
We'll spend the night here.
Okay.
Works for me.
I'll cook something delicious for everyone.
Okay!
I'll go look around.
-I'll go with you. -Not necessary.
You'll get in the way.
What happened to you?
What are you doing?
Jing Lan.
What happened to you?
She was poisoned by spiders.
Prepare some hot water.
We must remove the poison to reduce her fever.
Get moving, everyone!
Why didn't you tell me you were bitten?
Luckily this bucket works.
Feel better?
Much better.
Thank you, Miss Azi.
I didn't realize you were so tough.
You didn't say a word
and held on until now.
I wasn't much help along the way.
Instead, I dragged everyone down.
Don't say that.
Actually, we should thank you.
We wouldn't have met if it weren't for you.
Stay there for a while.
Call me if you need anything.
Okay.
Mu Sheng.
Why am I still dizzy?
Can you take a look?
All the walking accelerated the spread of the poison.
What should I do?
We must get the serpent flower tomorrow.
What's wrong?
There's a snake!
Snake in the bucket!
Don't let it bite you.
Mu Sheng.
You bastard.
I'll kill you!
Did you put the snake in there,
so you can go peek at her?
You're wrong.
Mu Sheng is not that kind of person.
But he...
he saw everything!
And I..
I've never done it with you!
Now you know why I don't like to explain myself.
Mu Sheng.
Can you keep me company?
I'm scared.
Okay.
Miss Azi.
Your archery skills are amazing.
So valiant.
I'm really impressed.
I never thought women could be so mighty.
Miss Azi.
Xiao Bao's father...
Why do you talk so much?
I...
When I was pregnant,
he ran off with someone else.
Satisfied?
Go to sleep.
We'll switch shifts later.
I won't sleep.
I want to protect you.
It's been ten years.
I thought you'd just be like other rich girls.
Stuck up
and looking down on others.
I didn't realize you're still your old self.
I was gutsier before.
Now, I'm such a coward.
Especially after I came to Snake Valley.
The skills and courage I learned in medical school,
have all gone to waste.
Mountains and wilds are not your practice fields.
You should return to the city to work.
There are a lot of good doctors in the cities.
They don't need me.
Villages and suburbs need me.
Our worlds are so different.
I work hard to get away from the mountains.
But you want to come here to help the villagers.
Interesting.
Get away?
Why do you want to get away?
This is our hometown.
We should build it and protect it.
Hometown?
Villagers act like leeches.
They're all bloodsuckers,
trying to exploit this land.
They keep chopping trees at will.
What's left to build and protect?
It's a joke.
I think
once we get over this snake outbreak,
everyone will change.
They will understand the root of the problem.
Whether they get it or not won't matter to me.
Didn't you see how they treat me?
When I get the serpent flowers,
I'll cash out,
take my mom away from the village and move to the city.
And never come back to this dump.
-But our... -Don't say it.
I won't stay here for them.
I'll kill you!
I...
Save your energy.
You'll need it tomorrow.
Hold on!
Of all the women in the world,
why do you have to compete with me for Jing Lan?
Since when did I compete with you?
Since we first met.
Jing Lan has been all over you!
You think I can't tell?
Who she likes is her choice.
She didn't sign her life over to you.
Then tell me,
do you like her?
Jing Lan is a good person.
I like her.
What?
What are you guys talking about?
I knew it, you damn snake catcher,
village bum,
dirty scumbag,
do not touch Jing Lan!
I won't allow it!
You cannot...
Calm down!
There's a ghost!
Where's the ghost?
Over there!
Don't grab me!
What is that thing?
Shut the door!
-Are you okay? -Are you okay?
-I'm fine. -I'm fine.
What's going on?
We're being ambushed.
It's no big deal.
Oh no! Help!
It's a trap!
Jing Lan.
Don't move.
You don't move.
Jing Lan!
This midget!
Did he do anything to you?
No.
-I got knocked out looking for you. -You scared me.
Who are you?
Who are you guys?
You're eating and drinking in my place.
You have no regards for the landlord.
You better talk nicely.
No!
What the heck are you?
People refer to me as
Snake's Worst Nightmare.
You're a snake catcher?
So, you've heard of me.
I'm a known commodity in our field.
What a disgusting face.
You look like a toad.
How can you say that?
What happened to your face?
I was poisoned by snakes as a kid,
the venom ruined my skin,
and half of my face.
Why did you disguise as a ghost to scare us?
A woman shows up out of the blue,
and she's hot as hell.
Let me ask you,
what man can't resist?
Did you release the snake in my bath?
Yes.
Otherwise, how could I get a clear look
of your entire body?
Pervert!
A spicy one.
You've got nerve.
I like you.
Stop fighting.
You're Snake's Worst Nightmare.
Do you know where serpent flowers are?
In this Snake Valley,
there isn't a place I don't know.
We were all bitten by snakes.
We need serpent flowers to survive.
Serpent flowers are hard to find.
If no one leads the way,
even in a couple of weeks you won't find it.
Mu Sheng.
What should we do?
Why don't we work together?
How about it?
Miss Jing Lan.
This midget...
His legs may be short,
but he sure walks fast.
Hurry!
Miss Azi.
After we get the serpent flowers,
do you have any plans?
No.
Then...
what kind of man do you like?
A man who doesn't panic or yell.
You must have made a fortune selling snakes.
Why are you living in the mountains?
That's right.
You must be rich.
What can all that money do?
I can't find a wife.
I get no respect.
A man like me,
was destined to be discriminated
from the day I was born.
Honestly,
men are so much more evil than snakes.
Human nature is...
Hurry!
Look up there!
Do you see it?
Serpent flowers are right there.
But be careful,
it could be one way in, and no way out.
What is that up there?
Shh...
Those are vampire bats.
Do not disturb them.
Everyone, squat down.
Let's move it!
You want to get killed?
If you wake them up, we're all dead.
Be careful.
Let's get going!
This bridge is really beat up.
-Can we walk on it? -Are you kidding?
If you want the serpent flowers,
this is the only way to get there.
Are you afraid?
I'll go first!
This bridge is very fragile.
It won't hold that many people.
We'll go one at a time.
Be careful.
Once you pass this bridge, it's snake territory.
Don't look down.
Give me your hand.
Slowly.
No, I'm afraid of heights.
I can't do this.
Oh gosh!
I'll go now.
Get up.
Go slow.
The vampire bats could wake up anytime.
We've got to fight for time.
No, no!
My turn now.
Can you slow down?
Why are you still bothering with this suitcase?
Throw it away!
A coward like you
will never get the serpent flowers.
Miss Azi!
I got you!
Come on up!
Come on, hang tight!
That's more of an adventure!
Shut your mouth!
Boss, you guys go ahead.
No, we go together!
Stop arguing, just go!
Hurry up and go!
Mu Sheng, be careful.
It's snake territory ahead.
Vampire bats won't dare to cross.
You guys,
hurry up.
-This bridge could... -Keep your voice down!
You want to attract the bats?
My money!
My money is gone!
My money!
All gone!
My money!
You fool.
One serpent flower
is worth one gold bar.
Give me your hand.
Just get a few serpent flowers,
then you'll be rich.
Really?
Really.
Captain!
Go, quickly!
Quickly!
Come on!
Now!
Captain!
Hurry up and go!
The bats are coming!
Leave now!
The bats are coming!
Get out!
Piece of crap pistol!
Get out!
Hurry!
Your shots have improved!
You trained me well!
Get them!
Xiao Yong!
Lao Cui!
Get out of here, boss!
Go!
Lao Cui!
Don't get in my way!
Lao Cui!
I can't leave you here alone!
Xiao Yong!
Go!
Come over here!
Mu Sheng!
Lao Cui!
Xiao Yong!
Lao Cui!
Come over here!
Let me go.
Let me go!
Lao Cui.
Why did you get in my way?
You should have let me die.
You should have let me die!
Then go!
Yesterday,
we had planned to go back together.
Today...
We'll say a prayer for them.
We must find the serpent flowers soon.
So none of them died in vain.
That's right.
Stop wasting time.
The more we delay,
the more dangerous it gets.
It's just a couple of dead people.
So what?
You cold-blooded animal.
I...
For the sake of serpent flowers, don't...
Don't do it.
Casualties should be expected in Snake Valley.
I urge you to be mentally prepared.
Snake Cave is right ahead.
We don't know who will make it out of there alive.
If you're afraid,
get lost now!
Let's go.
Wait.
I don't even fear the battlefield,
so why would I fear this?
Two cave entrances.
Which way should we go?
Let me see.
Let's do this.
We split into two groups.
Four people in a group.
Whoever finds serpent flowers first,
notify the other group right away.
Good idea.
I'll go with Miss Jing Lan's group.
I object.
Go away!
In your dreams.
I'm just kidding.
Take it easy.
Follow me if you're going to the right.
I'll go with you.
The right side could be more dangerous.
Let's go!
I'll go with you.
I'll go with you too.
Miss Azi.
Be careful.
Okay.
Are those serpent flowers?
They're beautiful.
What's wrong?
There are so many snakes.
Creepy.
Female snakes releasing musk
to attract male snakes from all locations,
to form a mating ball.
How long before they are separated?
At least a few hours.
At most a few days.
Few days?
I'll be dead in a few days.
When snakes are mating,
they ignore their surroundings.
As long as they're not disturbed,
we have a chance to get the serpent flowers.
Ma Shaoyang.
Notify the others to come over.
You guys be careful.
Jing Lan.
Your leg...
It's all right.
Please be careful.
Okay.
Mu Sheng.
I'm counting on you.
Mu Sheng!
Be careful!
Snake's Worst Nightmare!
Didn't you say there were serpent flowers here?
There are no serpent flowers.
But there is a python.
You!
Brother Mian Jin!
Don't move.
I'll stop the bleeding.
I'll stop the...
bleeding.
Find the exit!
Miss Azi!
What happened?
The exit is sealed, I can't open it!
Let me try it!
Wei Guo!
Run!
What happened?
Go!
Let's go!
Miss Azi!
Help me..
take care of...
Xiao Bao...
Mu Sheng.
Grab a few more.
Two is enough.
Two won't be enough.
So many people were poisoned.
It won't hurt to take more.
It wasn't easy to get here.
Why not take more, right?
Two-headed pythons have short lifespans.
It grew that big
because serpent flowers extended its life.
So we must take more,
take them all!
Don't leave any for that monster!
No.
Doing so and the python will retaliate against the village.
By then, the villagers will suffer.
Mu Sheng, come back.
Mu Sheng, grab more!
Don't you need money?
If you do, I'll give it you!
We can't be greedy.
I don't want that kind of money.
Grab them.
Grab them for me.
Snake's Worse Nightmare.
What do you want?
I want all the serpent flowers,
plus you, pretty girl.
I'll kill you!
Get lost!
Ma Shaoyang!
Mu Sheng.
Hurry up and get me all the serpent flowers.
Otherwise,
Miss Jing Lan
will become a cripple too.
Where are Azi and the others?
Azi?
She's dead.
Dead.
She should be...
an appetizer for the python.
Did you kill them?
I...
I was partially responsible.
You're despicable.
Despicable?
A real man must be ruthless.
Mu Sheng.
You're too soft to be the King of Snake!
But in terms of women...
women are better off being soft.
I'll...
Don't be anxious.
We've got plenty of time.
What do you want?
Tell me, if I shoot you,
will the bullet stay in your head?
Or will it
go through your head?
Snake's Worst Nightmare!
Put the gun down.
Or I'll throw this bag away.
No one will get the serpent flowers!
He's threatening me.
He's threatening me!
Go ahead.
Throw it away.
Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng, calm down!
Sir, please don't be mad.
Serpent flowers come around every couple hundred years.
You can't throw them away.
Mu Sheng!
Get the flowers.
He got them.
He got them!
Don't try anything.
Give me the bag.
Give it to me!
Serpent flowers!
Sir,
please spare some for me.
Get lost!
Who do you think you are?
Men are more evil than snakes.
Do you get it now?
You can't say who's more evil,
because that belongs to greed.
Stop being a wise guy.
You made all that money
just to get away from these villagers.
Why don't we...
Why don't we partner up?
I make money legitimately.
Yes, the villagers made mistakes.
But I believe,
if I can preserve kindness,
they will abandon their prejudice.
Kindness?
That's only for the weak.
What?
Screw you!
Don't move.
The serpent flowers are mine.
Mine.
Go to hell!
Watch out!
Mr. Shen!
Let's go.
Hurry, let's go.
I'm not leaving.
I'm sick and tired of running around.
What are you saying?
Leave now!
Get out of here!
I have to kill that snake.
Otherwise, we'll all die.
It's not the time to play the hero.
Let's go now!
Village bum,
take care of her!
Ma Shaoyang.
Jing Lan.
Let me play the hero
one last time.
No!
Ma Shaoyang, no!
No!
Stop her!
Ma Shaoyang!
Jing Lan!
Remember,
I'm not a coward.
I'm a real hero!
Ma Shaoyang!
No! Come back here!
Go!
Ma Shaoyang!
You fool.
-I'll kill you! -Si Yan!
I'm gonna get you!
Come on!
Get over here!
Brother Mian Jin.
You...
When you get back,
tell my wife...
our son's name...
will be Yong'an.
Mu Sheng!
What are you doing?
Jing Lan!
Let's go!
This way.
I saw a drawing in the Snake King Chronicle.
It might help us subdue it.
Go to hell!
It's dead.
Miss Azi.
As seasons change...
And then?
As seasons change,
Autumn harvest brings winter storage.
Mu Sheng.
Don't tell him, let him learn.
Don't cry.
Let me hold him.
When will I hold my own grandson?
Mu Sheng.
This place
will be a beautiful forest in the future.
Dad.
Take a break, don't wear yourself out.
I'm good.
I'm old and fit.
Keep working, everyone!
Okay!
Jing Lan.
Thank you for helping me rediscover my hometown.
Thank you for helping me learn to share the planet.
A tough road ahead, filled with ups and downs,
get ready for battle.
Don't panic, don't go away.
Together as partners, for life and death.
Do not sit and watch,
regardless of the risks.
Keep fighting obstacles,
do not fear further predicament.
Do not sigh.
Do not grieve.
If you can't make it, then stay put,
but continue to pursue with your heart.
Do not give up,
regardless of the odds.
Do not fear to overcome sadness,
turn the situation around
with no regrets.
Preserve your beauty,
don't shed your tears.
To withstand strenuous challenge,
with nothing but optimism.
I realize you have no complaints,
because our faith in love is indestructible.
Love is everywhere, it has no boundaries.
Love will break through all hurdles.
Love in my heart will only swell for you.
Cast away my fears for a brighter future.
Our long lasting love will never change.
