The Taking of Tiger Mountain Page #4

---

One stroke will break several.

Don't shoot, we can talk.

Rest assured.

What you heard in the hut

I've reported to 203

I'm tying up the splint.

- Lil' Dove.

- Be brave, act like a soldier.

How do you feel?

- 203

- Don't move.

Lie down.

Reporting to 203.

Ready to fight anytime.

You eat, I eat.

All right.

You two each have a half.

Tell me, what is your name?

Where is your home?

Knotti.

It's okay.

Knotti's last name is Jiang.

He lived at Shalan Village.

Six months ago, bandits killed his father

his mother Qinglian went missing.

Knotti drifted about alone, looking for relatives.

He bore lots of hardships.

His mother must've been abducted by the bandits

I hope she's still alive

so they can reunite.

It's sweet sorghum, the house is full of it.

So much food.

Hongyi, now our village

has food for the winter.

Hoarding so much food and ammunition

this must belong to the bandits'

connecting point in Leather Creek

I can't see through Yang.

What is he doing here?

HQ must've sent him for a reason

Let's wait and see.

Sir

I just scalp tobacco for food.

A mere trifle.

For a trifle you beat people up like that?

You goddamn liar

I thought he was a thief.

Ever heard of Advance Map?

No.

Gao said

this guy wants to sell the Advance Map to Hawk.

We must find the map

He'll confess if we beat it out of him.

- This is for Gao.

- Don't be impetuous.

We need intelligence from him.

Let me try.

Aide Luan.

You betrayed Commissioner Hou.

He sent you to deliver something to Big Stick

and you turn to Hawk.

Two gangs and Commissioner Hou

all in your pocket.

Would Big Stick be cheated by a bastard like you?

Listen-

he also conned KMT and PLA.

Big Stick joined PLA?

You're confusing me.

You can't fool anyone.

Listen, he has words for you.

You've got the Map, but going nowhere.

Hawk can't get it either.

He also ordered

a grave for you at Leather Creek.

Brother

your name?

Call me...

Hu.

This Yang, who is he?

He's Yang from Shandong.

Mr. Hu

I'm Luan.

Cut the crap

I've conveyed the message.

Now I'll send you to hell.

Wait, Mr. Hu

do me a favor, please tell Lord Big Stick

the map is with me now

I'll always have it

I won't go to Hawk.

It's a misunderstanding.

It's such a big favor, how do I not do it?

I'll spare your life now.

Let's wait and see.

Advance Map.

Report to HQ now.

- Yes.

- Go.

Wait.

There's one more scoop.

Fellow villagers-

Leather Creek wasn't afraid of the Japs,

why would it fear bandits?

As long as we raise our guns

the bandits dare not come.

There's no way to fight them.

Any village that fought the bandits

was wiped out.

We can't fight the bandits.

Why not?
