Lost You Forever (2023) s01e05 Episode Script
Episode 5
1
ADAPTED FROM TONG HUA'S ORIGINAL WORK,
LOST YOU FOREVER
Actually, I prefer to eat mortals.
Someone like you is just enough
for each of my heads to take a bite.
You have little spirit power,
but your body is a treasure.
Do
Do you really eat mortals?
Do you dare to talk nonsense again?
No, I don't.
Do you want me to come over?
No.
Xiaoliu.
Let's go.
Xiaoliu, are you
What a bad bird.
Just wait and see.
You're still up?
It's so late.
Go to sleep early
and take care of your body.
You mentioned that
you wanted to talk to me in person.
What could be so urgent?
Xiang Liu?
Are you looking for him?
Who sent you?
Capture him alive.
Xiaoliu, come quickly.
Shiqi has been busy all morning,
making all your favorite dishes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Let's eat.
These are all your favorites.
Eat more.
Thank you, Xiaoliu.
Where's Mr. Mu?
Does he still refuse to go out?
Xiaoliu, let's go and smash the winery
of that wretched man and woman.
With your strength,
you're going to smash their winery?
You'd be thrown out instantly.
I don't care.
I can't tolerate it anyway.
We can't just let it slide.
In this world,
as long as you're alive,
you must swallow your anger
even if it's not fair.
You must concede even if you're unwilling.
Let me tell you.
Even those princes and princesses
live the same way.
You're speaking as if it's true.
You're not one of them.
How do you know how they live?
You brat.
You're begging for a beating, aren't you?
Xiaoliu.
I've considered everything you said.
Don't worry.
I'm fine.
Young Master,
the worker from Mr. Yu's store said
that this stuff
was transported from Haoling.
It's very valuable.
One basket can exchange
ten bottles of your tiger penis wine.
All right. Carry on with your work.
Xiaoliu, your visit
graces our humble shop.
Sorry for the lack of reception.
What would you like?
Give me a pot of your sweet wine.
All right.
Osmanthus wine.
It's sweet and smooth.
This is so sour.
Are you selling vinegar?
Forget it.
Give me a pot
of the strongest wine you have here.
This is high-quality shaojiu.
Have a taste.
Is this your strongest wine?
It's diluted, isn't it?
It's so bland.
You're deliberately causing trouble.
Let's go.
We'd better
If you're still not satisfied,
I'll get you another drink.
I see you sell
something called tiger penis wine.
The one they're drinking.
Give me a jar of that to taste.
TIGER PENIS WINE
The taste of this wine is off.
I deal with a variety
of medicinal herbs year-round.
I can sniff their authenticity.
If someone drinks your tiger penis wine,
forget about showing their masculinity,
I'm afraid they'd never
have an erection again.
-Really?
-Come on. Let's not drink it. Let's go.
Sir, don't listen to his nonsense.
Please don't go.
Sir.
Young Master,
the young lady said
she has no appetite and can't eat.
Take it to Nian.
These lychees are quite fresh.
Let me try some.
Xiaoliu,
my sister has been having
a poor appetite lately,
so I specifically sought out
some fruits she likes.
Xiaoliu, please stop teasing me.
You really spoil your sister.
I'm sorry for the offense last time.
I apologize to you.
Have your sister apologize to Mr. Mu.
My sister is stubborn.
I'll apologize to Mr. Mu instead.
What a good brother.
You're willing to bend your head
rather than letting your sister suffer.
As her elder brother,
I should take responsibility.
I heard
the mulberry wine here is very good.
Mulberry wine is our signature wine.
Isn't it because
your sister loves this wine so much
that you can make it so well?
Send a few jars of the best mulberry wine
to Rejuvenation Hall
and apologize to Mr. Mu.
If Mr. Mu accepts it,
I won't come to your shop
to taste wine anymore.
Let's go.
All right. Let's go.
Let's deliver the wine.
Where is Mr. Xuan going with so much wine?
It's for Rejuvenation Hall.
He's going to apologize to Mr. Mu.
My sister offended you the other day.
I apologize on her behalf with the wine.
All right.
All right.
Isn't the wine supposed to be for me?
Why are you drinking it all yourself?
You're indeed generous, Mr. Xuan.
Today,
I accept you as my friend.
My friend's sister is my sister.
Being embarrassed by my own sister
is nothing.
Let's forget about that.
No one should mention it anymore.
How can we not drink
when we hold a momentous occasion
such as acknowledging a friend?
Come on.
Let's drink together.
Today, we won't go home until we're drunk.
Cheers.
Cheers.
This guy is quite a character.
He's capable of humbling himself
to coax his sister
and shows manly spirit
when forming a brotherhood with others.
Are you really not drinking anymore?
I should go back.
Then the two of us
shall drink again next time.
All right.
We'll drink next time.
All right.
I'll keep the wine.
REJUVENATION HALL
-I'm leaving.
-Young Master, watch your step.
Watch out.
Slow down.
REJUVENATION HALL
There's no one to assist me.
REJUVENATION HALL
REJUVENATION HALL
You had a good time,
but now I'm left to deal with the mess.
Let me do it. You can rest.
I would rather not.
It's my turn to wash dishes today.
How can I let you help me?
Are you still angry?
Angry?
What's there to be angry about?
Mr. Mu is now friends with him.
Why should I still be angry with him?
You're angry with me.
You don't talk to me.
I talk to you every day.
Am I not talking to you right now?
I want to hear you talk as before.
As before?
What's the difference
between before and now?
Am I not treating you
the same way as Pimply and Skinny?
Xiaoliu.
I'm sorry.
Young Master, be careful.
Are you all right?
With your status,
why do you stoop so low
to apologize to a commoner?
Qingshui Town is full of hidden talents.
An unknown physician like Wen Xiaoliu
actually managed to poison Haitang.
Who knows what else he's capable of?
If we were to confront him,
it would only cause more trouble
like his nosiness and poisoning.
We have important things to do,
so it's best not to complicate matters.
With the princess around,
how can there be no trouble?
Nian is just bored
and wants to have some fun.
It's not a problem.
Has Jun Yi returned?
Not yet.
Did something happen?
Abracadabra.
I hope the Nine-Headed Demon
chokes to death while eating,
drowns while drinking,
and falls to death while walking.
I didn't curse you.
I didn't curse you.
Did you just curse me?
No.
I didn't.
Don't hit my face.
Are you scared?
Yes.
You're lying again.
That day by the lake,
you already knew the secret of my body.
I originally thought you would eat me
to increase your spirit power,
but I didn't expect you to show mercy.
You just drank
a few mouthfuls of my blood.
Naturally, I'm not afraid.
Now I only drink
a few mouthfuls of your blood.
Who knows which winter
I'll use your flesh as a tonic
to nourish myself?
I'm completely yours now.
You can do whatever you want.
You're lying again.
Are you injured?
Who is the person
that's so capable of hurting you?
You're sleeping on my bed.
Where should I sleep then?
Xiang Liu.
Nine-Headed Demon.
Nine-Headed Demon.
Nine-Headed Demon.
What should I draw for you?
When healing your wounds
with internal energy,
you can't lose focus.
In milder cases, it worsens the injury.
In severe cases,
it destroys all your spirit power
and leads to mental disarray.
Well, the tables have turned on you.
Focus on healing.
Don't be disturbed by me.
These two strands of hair.
It looks bad.
This is too ugly.
What should I draw for you?
Let me draw a turtle for you.
No, not a turtle.
I got it.
You look great.
Let me show you.
Don't you think it looks great?
Don't be angry.
Let me count.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine.
I'm still very curious.
What do your nine heads look like?
When will you let me see your true form?
I'll eat you.
Do you want to eat me?
No problem with that.
As long as you don't mind me being dirty,
you can eat me.
Come on. There you go.
Looks like you're almost done.
Then I'll leave now.
I'll disappear for a few days.
During these few days, don't look for me.
When you start to cherish my presence,
I'll come back.
Shiqi,
come.
Xiaoliu.
Come here.
Xiang Liu is a bit tired.
He's sleeping in the room.
Keep an eye on this door.
Don't let anyone in.
After Xiang Liu wakes up,
he will naturally leave.
I have something to do, so I'll leave now.
Tell Mr. Mu not to look for me.
This place is really nice.
It's safe and sound
and there's good wine to enjoy.
However smart Xiang Liu is,
he will never guess that I'm hiding here.
I'm really amazing.
It's my uselessness.
Although Xiang Liu was injured this time,
the helpers I brought
were all killed by him.
I'm the only one who escaped.
I'm worried that it has exposed our cover.
If Xiang Liu investigates,
it will threaten your safety.
Xiang Liu is truly a dangerous person.
Since he can't be used by me,
we have to strike first.
Take advantage of his severe injury
and immediately
dispatch people to find him.
We must fully remove
the threat to avoid trouble later.
Yes. I'll obey the order.
Nine-Headed Demon's life
is really valuable.
His enemies are everywhere.
Will he escape safely this time?
Your Lordship, a spy
found traces of a white eagle nearby.
Xiang Liu is likely to hide around here.
Listen.
Search carefully house by house.
Don't miss any clues.
-Yes.
-Yes.
Didn't you just change
Xiaoliu's bedding yesterday?
Why are you changing it again?
A fussy man
is creating an unnecessary fuss.
Remember to close the door.
Be careful. It's hot.
Mr. Xuan.
I'm really sorry.
I suddenly got really hungry,
so I followed the aroma and came in.
I'm hungry too.
A chance meeting
is better than a planned one.
How about having a meal with me?
All right.
This is freshly brewed wine.
I have just retrieved it
from the wine cellar.
Have a taste.
Thank you, Mr. Xuan.
Did he discover that
I was hiding in his wine cellar?
Is he planning to poison me?
Mr. Xuan,
what are you doing?
Steamed chicken.
Taste it.
Great cooking.
Are these dishes all made by Nian?
She only knows how to eat,
not how to cook.
I didn't expect that
you could make wine and cook.
Nian is really fortunate.
She calls me brother.
Isn't it natural for me
to take care of her?
Why haven't I seen her lately?
Do you want to see her?
No.
I was just asking.
I was just asking.
I had her embroider something for me
and she has been busy with it
in the room recently.
No wonder
she hasn't been out causing trouble.
What?
Nothing.
I mean,
Mr. Xuan, you are great
at teaching your sister.
If Nian makes more offenses in the future,
Xiaoliu, could you please be
a bit lenient considering she's a girl?
In the future?
He said, "Future."
So he's not going to kill me today.
Not a problem.
Rest assured, I will accommodate her
the next time I see her.
Thank you for your generosity.
You really are a good brother.
Being your sister is really fortunate.
Actually, I'm not a good brother.
Mr. Xuan, I toast you.
Thank you for your hospitality today.
It's getting late,
so I'll take my leave now and let you be.
Feel free to visit in the future.
Don't worry.
I'm very familiar with this place.
There's no need to see me out.
I was wrong.
I was really wrong.
I won't do it again.
Am I not back now?
My body and I are both yours now.
I promise
I'll clean myself up
thoroughly from now on
and you can come and eat me anytime.
Please forgive me this time, all right?
Just this once.
Why is it you?
Why are you in my room?
I'm sorry.
I let you down.
That's not what I meant.
I mistook you for someone else.
I'm sorry for my harsh tone just now.
Don't take it to heart.
You can come into my room.
It's my fault.
You want to eat me?
No problem with that.
As long as you don't mind me being dirty.
Come on. There you go.
Wen Xiaoliu.
We'll settle this account slowly.
We have all the time in the world.
My lord,
we received a message
from the Chenrong Army's remnants.
Xiang Liu has somehow healed his wounds.
That quickly?
Shall we attempt another assassination?
We've missed
the best opportunity to kill him.
For now, let's hold our forces.
Instruct our insiders to be careful
and not to arouse his suspicions.
Yes, I understand.
Why did you bring a pig's head home?
What if it scares the young lady?
Haitang, take the pig's head
to the kitchen.
Don't let Nian see it.
Yes.
I just learned from Mr. Gao
that Wen Xiaoliu has been
in this town for decades.
He has been here even longer than Mr. Gao.
Mr. Mu is a deserter from Xiyan
who refused to fight.
Skinny and Pimply are orphans
he and Wen Xiaoliu picked up.
Wen Xiaoliu is timid and greedy,
but he's gentle
and gets along well with his neighbors.
He hasn't committed any major crimes.
It sounds like there's nothing suspicious.
He's simply an ordinary physician.
WEN XIAOLIU
What about me?
You look like a wine seller.
Flawless.
Yes, flawless.
It's highly likely
he's hiding something deep.
Have Jun Yi investigate further.
That makes sense.
Perhaps Wen Xiaoliu is like you.
He's not what he seems.
Skinny.
Yes, Xiaoliu?
Has the wisteria tree bloomed yet?
I'm busy working.
I don't have the time
to care about wildflowers.
The flowers have bloomed.
Why are you asking, Xiaoliu?
Nothing. Just asking.
Go back to work.
Xiaoliu, eat it while it's hot.
Wisteria flower egg pancake.
Did you make this?
Egg Yes.
Ye Shiqi.
You always know
what I'm thinking, don't you?
However, now,
I don't want to eat this pancake.
There won't be a second time.
What did you say?
No matter what happens,
I'll never run away and hide
when you need someone to lean on.
Never again.
Xiaoliu.
Hurry. Come with me to see it.
-See what?
-You'll know when you see it.
Hurry.
Let's go together.

Shiqi has been busy all morning,
making all your favorite dishes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Let's eat.
These are all your favorites.
Eat more.
Thank you, Xiaoliu.
Where's Mr. Mu?
Does he still refuse to go out?
Xiaoliu, let's go and smash the winery
of that wretched man and woman.
With your strength,
you're going to smash their winery?
You'd be thrown out instantly.
I don't care.
I can't tolerate it anyway.

You really are a good brother.
Being your sister is really fortunate.
Actually, I'm not a good brother.
Mr. Xuan, I toast you.
Thank you for your hospitality today.
It's getting late,
so I'll take my leave now and let you be.
Feel free to visit in the future.
Don't worry.
I'm very familiar with this place.
There's no need to see me out.
I was wrong.
I was really wrong.
I won't do it again.
Am I not back now?
My body and I are both yours now.
I promise
I'll clean myself up
thoroughly from now on
and you can come and eat me anytime.
Please forgive me this time, all right?
Just this once.
Why is it you?
Why are you in my room?
I'm sorry.
I let you down.
That's not what I meant.
I mistook you for someone else.
I'm sorry for my harsh tone just now.
Don't take it to heart.
You can come into my room.
It's my fault.
You want to eat me?
No problem with that.
As long as you don't mind me being dirty.
Come on. There you go.
Wen Xiaoliu.
We'll settle this account slowly.
We have all the time in the world.
My lord,
we received a message
from the Chenrong Army's remnants.
Xiang Liu has somehow healed his wounds.
That quickly?
Shall we attempt another assassination?
We've missed
the best opportunity to kill him.
For now, let's hold our forces.
Instruct our insiders to be careful
and not to arouse his suspicions.
Yes, I understand.
Why did you bring a pig's head home?
What if it scares the young lady?
Haitang, take the pig's head
to the kitchen.
Don't let Nian see it.
Yes.
I just learned from Mr. Gao
that Wen Xiaoliu has been
in this town for decades.
He has been here even longer than Mr. Gao.
Mr. Mu is a deserter from Xiyan
who refused to fight.
Skinny and Pimply are orphans
he and Wen Xiaoliu picked up.
Wen Xiaoliu is timid and greedy,
but he's gentle
and gets along well with his neighbors.
He hasn't committed any major crimes.
It sounds like there's nothing suspicious.
He's simply an ordinary physician.
WEN XIAOLIU
What about me?
You look like a wine seller.
Flawless.
Yes, flawless.
It's highly likely
he's hiding something deep.
Have Jun Yi investigate further.
That makes sense.
Perhaps Wen Xiaoliu is like you.
He's not what he seems.
Skinny.
Yes, Xiaoliu?
Has the wisteria tree bloomed yet?
I'm busy working.
I don't have the time
to care about wildflowers.
The flowers have bloomed.
Why are you asking, Xiaoliu?
Nothing. Just asking.
Go back to work.
Xiaoliu, eat it while it's hot.
Wisteria flower egg pancake.
Did you make this?
Egg Yes.
Ye Shiqi.
You always know
what I'm thinking, don't you?
However, now,
I don't want to eat this pancake.
There won't be a second time.
What did you say?
No matter what happens,
I'll never run away and hide
when you need someone to lean on.
Never again.
Xiaoliu.
Hurry. Come with me to see it.
-See what?
-You'll know when you see it.
Hurry.
Let's go together.
