## Synopsis

Wu Xie and the group almost meet death before they are saved by locals. However, the locals are not as they seem. Zhang Rishan begins to investigate those around him.

## Story

Wu Xie and the group continue their journey to find Gutong Jing. Ma Maonian threatened Ma Rila because he was unable to find water. Ma Rila had to lie to get out of being killed. There was a sandstorm and the group had to find cover. After the storm subsided, they realized Ma Rila had left them. Old Ma got angry and threatened to kill Wu Xie. But Su Nan walked over and told him that he should just kill everyone because killing Wu Xie meant certain death for them. They continued walking, but they all passed out from exhaustion/dehydration.

Zhang Rishan went to the hospital where Dr. Liang Wan worked. He had serious cuts on his hands which he said were from cooking gone wrong. They exchanged pleasantries and she wrapped his hands in bandages. She thought he was handsome. When he claimed he did not have his wallet, she offered to pay for his bill if he gave her his phone number. She did not realize her own brazen words until they came out, but Zhang Rishan smiled and said it was okay. He gestured to his pants pocket, because he could not get his phone without her help. She called her phone number and together they went to pay his hospital fee. Liang Wan invited Zhang Rishan to come to the hospital to visit her in the future. He left, telling her he would pay her next time.

Zhang Rishan joined Yin Nanfeng at the Xin Yue Restaurant. They discussed the damage done to the restaurant because of the Wang Clan member. Yin Nanfeng thought Zhang Rishan brought it upon himself since he wouldn't let anyone get involved in the Wu Xie matter but interfered himself. Yin Nanfeng wanted to know if he was going to further interfere in the Nine Clan's businesses. He only wanted to help Wu Laogou for old time's sake. Yin Nanfeng reminded him it was not simply helping out since it would pull him into the all of the families' problems. Zhang Rishan replied that he did not want to play it safe and was not afraid of the trouble it would bring. Yin Nanfeng reminded him of the Wang Family's goal back in the day, to control everyone. She tried to further dissuade him from getting involved but he insisted. She realized that he was too loyal to Fo Ye and he still wanted to fulfill his wishes.

Zhang Rishan and Kan Jian questioned the Wang Clan member that fell into the trap from earlier. She was badly injured and a tattoo on her shoulder was visible. Zhang Rishan wanted to know why she came to him. She replied that it was because he was interfering with Gutong Jing and helping Wu Xie. Zhang Rishan realized that they did not know what Wu Xie was up to in Gutong Jing.

Li Cu woke up in a bed with different clothes. He desperately drank the water that was nearby and Wang Meng came to his room. They were at a local's home. He went downstairs and met the owner of the home, Su Rige. She told him that her son Ga Lu saved them. He asked where the bathroom was and she told him to go outside out back. So, he went on his way to do his thing when Wu Xie popped up out of the cellar door nearby. Wu Xie wouldn't explain why he was in the cellar and left Li Cu there. Ga Lu started throwing sheep poop at Li Cu and Li Cu threw a rock in return but ended up hurting Ga Lu.

Back inside, everyone was at the dinner table. Ye Xiao desperately wanted more water and complained of pain. Wu Xie thought nothing of it and believed it was pain from prolonged dehydration from drinking water. Wu Xie was experiencing the same pain and thought it was normal, but Wang Meng said it was not. Later, Wu Xie joined Li Cu by a lake nearby. They discussed finding Gutong Jing and Li Cu was worried that Wu Xie was going to need to open his wounds again for the map now that it had healed so much. Wu Xie assured him that he didn't because he had the map memorized and would find it soon anyways. Wu Xie also warned Li Cu that he shouldn't trust Ga Lu or Su Rige. Wu Xie wouldn't tell him why yet. The two went inside to eat.

At dinner, Wu Xie made a toast to Ma Rila. Su Rige had an odd look on her face when he said this. The group continued to eat, but Yang Honglu was not feeling well. Li Cu coughed up something odd and Wu Xie warned him not to touch anything there. Everyone returned to their rooms. Su Rige knocked on people's doors to offer them some water. Ye Xiao was getting worse and had a fever. He was urged to drink water but threw up.

The documentary team started to become irritated and Zeng Ye began to lose trust in Director Wang.

Later that night, Li Cu saw Su Rige taking a bath and saw a phoenix tattoo on her back.
