Ju Dou Page #4

"Here we are at Village Wang!"

"So many dogs... here they come!"

"They bite us all...

but we can't run!"

"We can't run so we go home!"

"Play the horn just for fun!"

What's wrong?

Your aunt's lower parts

are in bad shape.

Is your paralyzed uncle strong

enough to have done that?

Give her this medicine.

But, frankly speaking...

...she can never...

...become pregnant again.

At least it's one less thing

to worry about.

You go first.

I'll come home after dark.

Ju Dou, don't do anything silly.

Tianbai, my son...

...do you want to dye the straw?

I'll help you.

We'll dye it bright red.

You did it?

Did what?

You know very well!

Stop talking nonsense!

When I came home,

he was already floating.

Don't lie to me!

You should have let me do it.

Killing one's husband

cries out for punishment.

You're accusing me wrongly!

I'm lost in any case.

Where is the little bottle?

You threw it out?

Where?

Where??

Here.

You still have it?

Keep it.

I'm involved, too.

What are you trying to prove?

Look at yourself!

Is that a son's loyalty?

Didn't he deserve to die?

Are you sorry he's dead?

You'd rather keep on being

Tianbai's brother!

What a good, respectful nephew!

Tianqing!

You, too, are beating me?

Sure, continue doing it!

Revive the old man, and you can

both beat me!

I don't want to live any more.

According to tradition...

...Tianbai is the only Yang heir

in the Tian generation.

Tianqing isn't really

part of the family.

According to ancient custom...

...the funeral will

take place tomorrow.

Out of loyalty, Ju Dou and Tianqing

will block the coffin's path.

There is gossip about them

in the village.

Tomorrow the entire Yang family

will see with its own eyes...

...whether they are

truly loyal.

According to ancestral tradition...

...Ju Dou will not remarry.

The widow will remain faithful.

After the ceremony...

...Tianqing will move out

of the dye mill.

He will sleep at Wang's house.

A man living in a house with a

widow, even though she's his aunt...

...would cause gossip

about the Yang family...

...whose reputation

is unblemished.

Are they blocking the path?

They're waiting up ahead.

According to custom, they must

block the path 49 times.

There must be no mistake.

Block the path!

Uncle, don't leave!

Don't leave!

That's once!

That's twice!

Tianbai!

Aunt!

What is it?

I bought this at the market

a few days ago.

That's for Tianbai.

Give it to him.

No, you do it.

He won't talk to me.

Look.

Isn't it too bright?

No.

You're still very beautiful.

Your brother bought this for you.

Aunt...

...I'm leaving now.

Lock the door.

Tianbai, I'm going to Shi village.

Your sixth uncle asked for me.
