Blind Mountain Page #2

Doctor!

What?

She slit her wrist.

To the operation room.

Go on! Hurry!

Doctor, please save my daughter-in-law.

What happened?

She slit her wrist.

Put her on the bed inside.

Where's her husband?

Here.

Did you bring money?

Yeah, but not much.

Go pay.

Doctor, is she going to die?

Save her first.

You have to pay first.

Why's medicine

so f***ing expensive now?

Hospitals are all the same.

Doctors all get a cut.

This hospital is okay.

Larger ones are more corrupt.

Ok. Don't worry.

Do you feel better?

I'm Chen. She's Deng.

Your mother-in-law asked us

to talk to you.

She's not my mother-in-law.

Hold him.

Actually,

we were bought like you.

Want to sit?

Listen.

You can't change things now.

Accept it or you'll make things worse.

That's right.

Just look at the mess in here.

Do you have a comb? I'll comb your hair.

Four years ago, I felt the same way.

I couldn't take my husband's beatings.

Chen, help me to escape.

You'll never make it.

Who doesn't want to escape?

There's only one road out.

It is blocked. There's no way out.

If I can't escape, I'd rather die.

Don't do anything crazy.

It's easy to die. Living is what's hard.

Just think of your parents.

You owe it to them...

to keep on living.

Wait until you can go about more freely.

Then think of a way to run away.

Chen, want a drink?

No thanks.

We have to go. Come see us soon.

Take care.

Okay.

Come and see me.

Why'd you buy two piglets?

Why not? We have to pay the tax anyway.

Where'd you get the money?

Borrowed it.

You always borrow money.

See if you can pay it back!

Women don't understand sh*t.

Fourth Uncle.

You've come. Come in.

Did you buy these piglets?

Borrowed them.

Where's my cousin?

In the field.

Cousin, are you feeling better?

I'm not your cousin!

Sorry. I'm your husband's cousin.

My name is Decheng.

My name means "integrity."

You're that teacher.

Thanks for saving my life.

I didn't do anything.

I've wanted to stop by.

Teacher Huang,

just call me by my first name.

I shouldn't. Don't call me 'teacher.'

You were in school longer than me.

I brought you a few books.

I hope you'll like them...

I don't have any good books.

Uncle, see you!

You just read these stupid books!

Feed the pigs!

Are you trying to burn the pigs?

If anything happens to them,

I'll beat you to death!

Village Chief! Village Chief!

Village Chief!

What is it?

She wants to see you.

Oh, your case.

I'm still looking into it.

I still haven't heard back

from the police.

Go on back.

I'll let you know when I hear something.

Thank you.

No problem.

Get back to your game.

Take care.

Snake eyes!

Royal flush!

Chen, I can't take it.

Which road should I take to run away?

Don't take the big road.

Take the small path out.

Once over the mountain,

you'll see the main road.

Then you'll have made it.

Which mountain?

The tallest mountain over there.

Auntie, what are you singing?

Do you like it?

Yes.

What's your name?

Li Qingshan.

Are you in school?

Yes.

Which grade?

Fourth.

Don't call me Auntie.

Call me Sister Bai, okay?

Okay.

Go on. Say it.

Sister Bai.

You're here.

So this is your college-educated wife.

You owe me a drink.

Then come over for a drink.

Next time.

- See you.

- Take care.

She's listening to you now, right?

I told you she just needed a beating.

It's 15.80.

Put it on my tab.

Come and get this.

Come if you need anything.

What do you want?

A bag of salt.

See that woman? She tried to run away.

Same thing would happen to you.

Chen, I'm going to run away.

Be careful.

If you make it, tell my folks I'm here.

Ask them to come save me.

Okay.

Where are you going?

To pee.

Have you seen Xue Mei?

Not good for much,

but sure knows how to pee.

Your clothes got washed away.

You two follow the road.

Er Hu, follow me.

Excuse me, which way into town?

Thanks.

Have you seen a woman run by?

- Have you see her?

- No.

To the town.

Hi, can you give me a ride?

- Where to?

- Into town.

- Three bucks.

- I don't have any money.

Then forget it.

I usually charge five bucks.

Please help me. I don't have any money.

No way. If everyone wanted a free ride,

I'd be broke.

Help me.

You thought you could run away!

Let me go.

Come back.

You still run away?

I give you stuff to eat

and buy you new clothes.

What else do you want?

- Stop beating her. You'll kill her.

- Stay out of it.

B*tch, I can make you obey me if I want.

Sister Bai, here you are.

It's still warm.

No, thanks.

Take it.

Thank you.

Fourth Aunt.

You're here.

I wanted to come earlier,

but I've been too busy.

Are you better?

I borrowed some more books for you.

Thanks.

The people here aren't well educated.

They're barbaric.

I'm the only one

who went to high school.

I always dreamed of going to college.

I wanted to leave this mountain village.

I never did well on the entrance exam.

I could only come back to teach.

Isn't it good being a teacher?

Sure.

But the pay is low,

and we don't get paid on time.

I've had it. I feel like quitting.

Don't laugh at me.

I'm a teacher

but haven't even seen a train.

I've seen a train.

Look what happened?

I was still kidnapped.

How could you have believed those guys?

I really don't know.

I had just graduated

and couldn't find a good job.

My folks owed lots of people money.

My brother also needed tuition.

I wanted to help

my folks pay back the money.

And help my brother pay tuition.

They said I'd make lots of money

by selling medicine.

So I came here with them.

After I came here,

I drank a cup of water.

Then I don't remember what happened.

Tell me,

What was it like to live

on a college campus?

Nothing special.

What a waste marrying him.

I didn't marry him.

Decheng, can you help me?

I do feel great sympathy for you.

I do want to help you.

Really? Then can you help me to escape?

That's hard.

You do know that he's my cousin?

De Cheng, you're here.

Uncle. Cousin.

- Cousin, hi.

- What are you doing?

Nothing. I brought some books.

So she's not bored all day.

She does nothing but read.

You're still not satisfied?

She's just a f***ing waste of my money.

It's going to take a while

to pay you back.

No problem. There's no hurry.

Mailman!

Can you mail this for me?

I don't have any stamps,

but I'll pay you later.

Thanks.

Chen, why haven't you come by to see me?

I'm bored out of my mind.

We were just thinking

of going to see you.

How's it going with her?

Nothing new. She can do some work.

Is her tummy getting larger yet?

No.

Why not? It's been months

and she's still not pregnant.

Who knows. We're worried sick.

Just make your son take some medicine.

Make him work extra hard at night.

Can you lend me some money?

I've been here years

and have never seen a cent.

When I have money,

I'll pay you back double.

They always pay for things.

They're afraid

I'll run away with their money.

Can you go to the police station

and make a report?
