"Don't Ask 莫问 (Mo Wen)" by Zhang Han 张翰
♫ Within a picture, the characters appear strong. ♫
♫ Withered flowers dance lightly stirring up the water of emotions silently. ♫
♫ Don't ask who weighs more in the heart. ♫
♫ Take up a pen and tell a thousand turbulent stories. ♫
♫ The rainbow streak across the horizon. ♫
♫ Does it know your whereabouts? ♫
♫ Pain spread throughout the land. ♫
♫ How long do we have to wait until it turns cold? ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask why I broke up the relationship in an instant. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ This hurdle is difficult for people to pass even in a thousand years. ♫
♫ I wish. I hope. ♫
♫ Don't ask for whom this lonely zither is playing for. ♫

The Classic of Mountains and Seas - Legend of the Scarlet Shadow
Episode 13
Timing & Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers @ Viki
It would be best if you stayed away from me.
People who get too close to me,
all don't have happy endings.
If you are really a man,
then take out your own courage
to protect the one that you truly love!
If you don't even have this bit of confidence,
then between the two of us there is no such thing as a fair competition to talk about!
Brother Shangguan, look!
Well Mansion?
Boss, are you really not leaving with them?
What I should and should not do, I know it the best.
Su Mo is not the kind of person who is greedy for wealth and fame.
That is because she has never obtained fame.
Then General Baili, what about you?
You initially had nothing,
yet you are the great General of Dong Ling.
Serving below one but above a million.
That's why
I am extremely familiar with the term 'fame.'
How much it can be used.
Let me put it like this.
There was a frog who always lived in a well.
The sky he saw from there, was only so big.
But one day, he jumped out of the well.
Then he realized how big the world was and how rich it was.
A person told him that he could have all of this.
Do you think
this frog will go back into the well again?
-Su Mo is not how you...-I'm talking about me.
In front of fame and fortune, very few people won't be lost.
Miss Fu'er,
what are you thinking about?
If you want me to do something,
you can tell me with ease.
General Baili,
I want to return to Su Mo's side. Can't I?
I can guarantee it! If Su Mo summons the Vermilion Bird,
she definitely won't treat Dong Ling as an enemy!
On the contrary, she will ask the Vermilion Bird to protect everyone's safety.
It will include Dong Ling, too!
You really are our Mysterious Lady of the Azure Dragon.
You are so kind.
Then, General Baili,
-are you agreeing to it?-As long as you like it,
I will support you.
Say, do you think I didn't look detailed enough?
You looked at each man's body multiple times.
And you say you didn't look in detail?
You also don't feel impudent?
This is work, do you understand?
Is it?
What nonsense are you thinking about?
Mo'er,
are you really sure
that what you saw on the mountain was the Well Mansion's mark?
I...
At that time, the knock out medicine had just passed, so I was a little out of it.
Perhaps it was.
So stupid!
Why am I following an idiot like you?
Those two are like you,
but me? Why is my life so terrible?
Little Imp, stop talking nonsense okay?
That answer isn't meaningful at all!
Do you know what it means when those who are closely involved cannot see the truth?
Snake!
What's so scary about a snake?
What? I couldn't have mistaken it?
You're scaring people?
I'm a child, she's an...adult.
You panicked for no reason yourself, what are you being angry at him for?
I think between the two of you, one is startled over nothing, the other is blindly brave.
You won't even know how you died.
Cold-Face Ghost!
Say it again.
Cold-Face Ghost!
Don't hold things against women and children, okay?
Do you like Shangguan Jin?
Little Imp, what nonsense are you saying?
What else? Look at Chi Yu,
he's so mean and is petty.
Look at Shangguan Jin, he's pretty and noble.
Many people like him, but you always create trouble.
You'll be spanked by Chi Yu!
If you continue speaking nonsense, do you believe I'll spank you first?
-Stop there! Don't run!-Come catch me!
Little Imp!
Is there anyone here?
It looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time.
The well is dry; there is no water.
Naturally, no one will be here.
How about we split up to look?
How can there be no water in this big mountain?
I'll go look over there.
Is there anyone here?
Is anyone here?
Anyone?
This well has already run dry; there is no water.
Miss Fu'er, rest here first.
I'll go find some water for you.
I'll have to trouble you.
Is there anyone here?
Su Mo!
Grandpa, I've traveled all day
and I'm very thirsty. Can you give me some water to drink?
Wait a second.
-Grandpa, don't give it to her!-Go!
Don't give it to her!
-Grandpa!-Go!
Miss, we only have this little water. Drink it.
Give it back to me; give it back!
This is water that Grandpa spent many days to dig out!
Grandpa couldn't even bear to drink a little and gave it all to you!
Don't listen to the child.
Go ahead and drink.
You've traveled all day, you should be tired.
I can dig out water again. Drink, it's alright.
There's finally water! Give me some!
-You can't drink it!-Why not?
This is the water that Grandpa spent many days digging. You cannot drink it.
Isn't it enough to just give money?
You always talk about money. Can money do everything?
Money can't buy everything!
Poor people! Only poor people say that!
Stop calling us poor people!
-All your money was earned by your father, what capability do you have?-You-!
You country girl! Don't think that I won't hit you just because you're a girl!
You-! You all!
You're all bullying me, right?
Fine! I'm not going with you all anymore; I'm going home!
-Pei Pei!-Miss Su!
He's a stubborn child. I'll go persuade him.
I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'll give this back to you.
This is for you. All of you should just drink it!
You young people came so far to here.
It must have been difficult.
Just drink this little water.
If it was in the past, this water wouldn't have counted for much.
Our well water used to be plentiful and sweet.
Even people from the nearby villages would often come here to draw water to drink.
But, we don't know why,
three years ago, the water supply suddenly dried up.
No matter how far we dug, we couldn't find water.
Then why didn't you move away?
A lot of families
did move away from here when they couldn't take the lack of water anymore.
But I can't leave. I am the village leader here.
This place is where generations of our family have lived.
My disobedient older grandson eventually left me.
He said that water can't be found here anymore.
But I don't believe it! I must definitely find water here!
Let's go and find the water supply.
Don't you want to?
If we leave just like this, Grandpa definitely won't give up.
Instead, why not help him find the water supply
and then leave at ease?
Okay! Then what about Shi Pei Pei?
Don't worry. Hong Tai can take good care of him.
You all are going to help us find the water supply?
Yes, Grandpa.
In the past, we also asked some able people to come.
But there wasn't anything they could do either.
You're just a little lady, what method would you have?
Elder, please don't worry.
She has a dog's nose. She can definitely find it.
Nonsense! You're the dog!
Grandpa, I will definitely help you find the water source.
I'm leaving!
I'll go back and find my father!
When my Young Master was little, he was just like you.
I'm not the same as your Young Master!
That's right! The Young Master of the Shi family isn't the same!
Go back and tell your Young Master that I'm not joining them anymore!
Why are you following me?
You are the Young Master of the Shi family.
But I only follow one thing,
I only listen to our Young Master.
He wants me to follow you, so I'll follow you.
What a nag!
If you like following, then follow!
How annoying!
Grandpa wanted me to give this to you, even if it's a bit small.
Do you take me for a beggar?
If you don't want it, then fine!
The village was just fine, how did the water dry up?
Look at the marks on the mountain.
There should have been a waterfall here in the past.
Also, those dead trees.
They should be types of trees that only grow where there's water.
Logically, something like this shouldn't have happened.
Mo'er!
Aren't you especially sensitive to water sources?
Can you try and see if there's any water sources nearby?
There is, but it's very deep down.
Then let's hurry and go.
I found you!
You have water, yet won't let me drink it!
You brat, give it to me!
Give it back to me! Give the water back to me!
Give it back to me!
Why did you spit it out?
What kind of water is this? It's disgusting and dirty!
I'll pour it all out!
Give it back!
I was collecting this for many days for Grandpa to drink! Make up for it!
Make up for it? Fine, fine.
This is a very good gemstone. It can buy your entire stupid village. Here!
Are you crazy?
Stop there!
Have you gone crazy?
Don't come over! What are you doing?
Go away!
-Give the water back to me!-Water?
You-! For water, is it worth you working so hard?
Isn't it just water? Can't you just collect more?
You make it sound so easy!
My grandpa, to let the people at home have water to drink and live,
every day he goes around everywhere digging!
When the water seeps out of the ground a little,
then he puts it into the water holder,
then he only gives us water when the sand has come out!
To pay someone to dig a deeper well, my older brother
went very far away to mine rocks!
There were many times when he almost died inside the quarry!
Also, my second older brother! Everyone in the village
put their lives on the line for this little water,
yet you poured all the water out!
That's because you didn't have the capability!
Then go! You go dig!
If you can get water, then I'll-!
-You'll what?-I will-!
Call me "Grandpa!"
Fine! As long as you can dig out water!
Fine! I'll dig! I'll definitely find water!
If I can't, then I'll call you Grandpa!
Pinky promise!
Lead the way!
Su Mo! Su Mo!
You brat, why are you running? Wait for me, Su Mo!
Wait for me!
Su Mo?
Su Mo! Is that you?
Su Mo! Don't play tricks on me!
I'm coming in!
Su Mo?
Su Mo!
Su Mo, is it you, Su Mo?
Su Mo! Don't scare me, Su Mo!
Miss, who are you?
Why did you tie me here?
Hurry and let me go!
You're not human.
Just what are you?
Hurry and let me go!
You saw?
If you can see it, that means
you are the Mysterious Lady of the Azure Dragon!
Since you know,
hurry and let me go!
Let you go? What a waste!
It looks like you couldn't wait.
The blood of the Mysterious Lady of the Azure Dragon,
you only need a little,
and you'll become the strongest python demon.
General Baili, you kept your promise and was so generous.
That's why I dared to work with you.
If a woman is too stubborn, there is nothing lovable about her.
No matter how stubborn a woman is, when she is in your hands,
they'll become as obedient as a little cat.
Remember.
The act must go on.
Let me have another taste.
Brother Shangguan, this way!
We're already close to the water source. Why is it like this?
We should be getting closer to why the water source dried up.
-The truth?-Mo'er,
in a bit, no matter what appears,
don't panic. We will protect you.
Do you two know something?
Let's go.
That should be where the water source starts.
That place is so hot, but it's so cold here.
This must be the headwaters.
Also, I feel like the water here must definitely be great.
Do you hear that?
What is that sound?
Let's go in to look.
You cannot go in.
Why not? I'm sure that this must be the headwaters!
The headwaters will not dry up for no reason.
Also, look at the bodies around here.
If they weren't poisoned, their blood was entirely drained.
Also, that strange sound.
I feel like whatever is inside that cave isn't kind.
That's right.
Based on your minimal martial arts,
going in would just distract me. You cannot go in.
Brother Shangguan!
You'd best stay here to wait for us.
In two hours, if you don't see Chi Yu and I come out,
then immediately go back to find Hong Tai.
-Let's go.-Wait a second!
Here.
It smells terrible.
It stinks!
Do you want it or not? It's an herb to keep poisonous bugs away!
My Old Father said that before someone enters a cave, they must have this in preparation.
Just in case!
Okay, we'll take it.
Chi Yu, Brother Shangguan, you must be careful!
What are you looking at? Can't I rest?
It's so obvious you're a rich young master.
You've never worked before, nor do you know the suffering of work.
That's right! I'm a rich young master, so what?
I was pampered since childhood. Compared to you commoners,
I'm not the same!
You lost! Call me Grandpa!
Who said I lost?
I haven't admitted loss yet! Don't even think of winning!
Those are called blisters. They'll heal after they rupture.
They'll rupture after they heal again.
After a long time they'll become calluses, so it won't hurt anymore.
Don't act like an expert!
Who wants to hear you talk?
Here!
I won't drink it!
Look, your lips are already cracked!
Why are you giving me water now?
Just now, I gave you a great gemstone to buy it from you.
Yet you wouldn't sell it.
Because you are working now. Only those people have the right to drink water.
Don't try to distract me. I'm going to dig out the water soon!
When that happens, you have to keep your promise and call me Grandpa!
Fine! If you have the capability, then show me!
I'll dig out water for you to see!
The water source became a crystal!
I've heard there was a type of demon magic;
they use the most pure spring water
and turn it into a crystal rock.
They use it to pull energy from the earth and sky to cultivate themselves.
There must be a snake demon here.
I can feel
that its energy is above us.
And I was wondering which direction's holy beast it was.
Indeed, you are only a snake demon.
That you two could come here, I'm very impressed with your bravery.
It's just a shame. Since you dared to trespass into my cave,
I can let you two...die!
I must drive you out of here today.
Entering my place, there is only death awaiting you!
Why is this water so bitter?
In the past, our village's water wasn't like this.
I must dig out water today! Come!
There's water! There's water!
We finally have water to drink!
This is great!
-There's water!-I won!
We finally have water to drink!
-This is great!-I won!
Are you dead yet?
I definitely won't die that easily.
I think that you have been a rich young master
and have been pampered for too long.
From the way I see it,
you're not much better than me.
Let's go.
Forget it.
That girl is quite obedient today.
We didn't let her enter the snake's cave,
and she really didn't come in.
Mo'er!
Where is she?
-Su Mo!-Su Mo!
Brother Shangguan!
-Chi Yu! Hurry and come save me!-Su Mo!
Brother Shangguan! Chi Yu!
I'm here! Hurry and save me!
Chi Yu!
So you're not dead yet.
You two only peeled off one layer of my skin!
Shangguan Jin,
take Su Mo away first.
I'll hold off this demon.
No! If we're leaving, we'll leave together!
With you two here, none of us can leave!
Leave!
Let's go!
-Chi Yu!-Chi Yu!
Brother Shangguan!
Right now, I'm going to kill the one you two love most.
To let you taste the pain of heartbreak!
Chi Yu!
Chi Yu! Chi Yu!
You are so incapable.
How can you protect your woman?
Your life is quite good.
Two men would give up their lives for you.
Right now, I will let you taste the feeling of losing the ones you love!
Chi Yu!
Every time.
Every time when there's danger,
they're always the ones saving me!
They did their best to protect me!
And I, besides being a little smart,
I can't help with anything!
Every time I hide behind them.
During fights I'm always protected.
It's all because of me that they were injured.
I can't wait for others to save me every time!
This time,
let me protect you two!
I'll let you see the power of the Vermilion Bird!
Go die!
Mo'er!
Mo'er! Mo'er!
Mo'er, wake up!
Where is that snake?
Don't worry, she's dead.
Brother Shangguan, are you okay?
It's nothing serious, don't worry.
Chi Yu, how is Chi Yu?
What's wrong with Chi Yu?
That snake demon bit Chi Yu's shoulder earlier.
The poison has already reached his bloodstream.
Chi Yu is too heavily poisoned.
We have to quickly find a way to get an antidote to save him.
Flaming Grass...
The Flaming Grass can definitely save him!
Flaming Grass. Then I'll go look for it now.
You're injured, too. I'll go look for it.
No.
It's fine; take care of Chi Yu.
Take care of yourself. I'll come back soon.

Flaming Grass...
Where is it...?
Su Mo!
Su Mo! Have you come to save me, Su Mo?
Flaming Grass...
Su Mo!
Su Mo, you've finally come!
Hurry and save me. Hurry and free me.
Su Mo, hurry!
Su Mo! Hurry!
It's this one.
S-Su Mo!
Hurry and come save me, Su Mo!
Su Mo!
Su Mo! Don't go, Su Mo!
Su Mo!
Very good, Mysterious Lady of the Vermilion Bird.
You definitely didn't let my hopes down.
Hurry and come back, Su Mo!
General Baili, you've finally come.
Miss Fu'er, don't talk.
You are very weak right now.
I'm sorry, Miss Fu'er.
It's my fault. I came late.
Or else...
you wouldn't be like this right now.
What's wrong?
Come.
Come, slowly.
Come.
Careful.
Here, have some water.
Come.
Slowly.
This container of water
almost made you lose your life.
Fu'er, I'm sorry.
I really don't know
how I can make you not sad.
Seeing you so said, it makes my heart hurt, too.
I'm sorry.
In the future I will definitely protect you and not take a single step away from you.
Alright?
Chi Yu! Wake up, Chi Yu!
Chi Yu?
Come, slowly.
Let's go.
I'll bring you to go find them now.
-Let's go.-Wait!
-Is there still some water?-There is.
Chi Yu.
-Come.-Hold this for me.
Miss Su Mo?
How will it work if you don't swallow it?
Chi Yu.
Fu'er.
Fu'er!
-It's so sweet!-Thank you, thank you!
Sir, all of you,
just what are you young people?
We are... We are only passing by.
If my Ah Su was here, it would be great.
That's right. If Ah Su was here, you all would definitely become friends.
Ah Su is a capable young man.
Is that so?
My Ah Su is a fated star constellation of the heavens.
Star constellation?
