The Guillotines Page #3
I want the heavens to know
I:
refuse to die at the hands of a Han Chinese
You won't
Forget your Han name, Wang Lei
From now on, you're Nala Leng
Leng
You're one of us
Leng, you outcast!
Leng
Leng
Leng
Your words are poisoned!
Wolf!
Wolf!
Wolf!
When we were little,
we braided each other's hair
Do you remember?
I thought you had forgotten
Just let the Guillotines finish off Wolf
as a favor to my brothers?
Your brothers again
When will the firearms squad arrive?
before they arrive
Haidu
Help me just this once
Green Army Base, Wuguan
Haidu
Help me just this once
The rebel Wolf
to surrender
will be executed
He's going to get Musen killed
Mister
if I give this to you
It's Su's badge
What about my rice?
U:
U:
U:
U:
Shisan
Bravo
Where is Wolf?
Stay over there!
Tell me
Where is Wolf?
Tell me
Shisan, stop it!
Calm down
They killed Su!
Leng
Don't move!
Come on
Come on
Get up
We're brothers
Leng
Shisan
Leave some wine for me
Give me
Smallpox victims are always around Wolf
No one goes near them
Their homes
are ideal hideouts for the Herders
If they want to play cat and mouse
we'll play along
Tomorrow at noon
In exchange for Gua-erjia Musen
If Leng fails to appear
Musen will be executed
you can't go tomorrow
I must go
I promised Musen's father
to bring her back
You're going to exchange your life
for hers?
They belong to His Majesty
to replace the Guillotines
Tomorrow
Let the Guillotines behead Wolf
then let my brothers go free
I'll go back with you
Looks like you've had enough of being bullied
Eat
I think you're ready for my story
As you know
Han weddings are grand, joyous occasions
One day
the wedding day of Zhuang's daughter
and arrested everyone in the Zhuang family
Master Zhuang pleaded
I'm only a book dealer
What have I done wrong?
The captain asked
Have you ever sold a book
titled "The story of Ming Dynasty"?
Master Zhuang recalled
"The story of Ming Dynasty"
cost six coppers each
It sold well
The captain said
the book appears to be about the achievements
of the Ming regime
but in truth, it's an attack on the Qing court
Master Zhuang pleaded innocence
"I didn't write the book!"
The captain said he didn't order the arrest.
It was His Majesty!
The wedding banquet
turned into a funeral
His four older sons were to be beheaded
The youngest son just turned 16
The judge took a year off his age
so that he could be spared
The young son was devastated
"My father and brothers are to be executed
How can I live on?"
