can cure that kind of lip sore.
1:35:04
The only cure is to go
into the fields and catch some frogs...
1:35:08
slit one open at the belly
and place the opening on the sore.
1:35:13
A minute later,
the frog should dry up.
1:35:16
Leitzu was lucky
I remembered this.
1:35:21
It was after midnight. I got
the stagehands to go with flashlights...
1:35:25
to the canal behind
the Happy Stage Theater...
1:35:28
to catch a bucketful of frogs.
1:35:32
Her friends came after the show
to tell me.
1:35:37
I rushed over.
1:35:40
The stagehands got the frogs.
1:35:42
I cared for her all night.
1:35:44
One after another,
we slit open the frogs.
1:35:47
They really did dry up
after a minute over the sore.
1:35:51
Her face was so swollen...
1:35:53
it looked like a pig's head.
1:35:55
I kept on applying
the frogs to her lip...
1:35:58
until 4 O'clock in the morning.
1:36:01
I touched her forehead.
1:36:04
The fever had gone down...
1:36:08
and color had returned
to her face.
1:36:12
I continued applying the frogs
until daybreak...
1:36:16
and touched her forehead again.
1:36:19
No more fever.
1:36:22
After that, I asked her friends
to take care of her.
1:36:25
I told them to let her sleep.
1:36:29
I was exhausted
and went back to the theater to sleep.
1:36:33
I slept until noon.
1:36:35
She woke up and saw...
1:36:37
all the dead, dried-up frogs
under her bed.
1:36:40
It was then
that her friends told her...
1:36:43
if it hadn't been for Tienlu...
1:36:45
she would be dead.
1:36:46
They told her...
1:36:47
the sore had swollen so much
her eyes had disappeared.
1:36:51
Because of this...
1:36:53
our feelings for each other
grew tighter and tighter.
1:36:57
I had told her before
that I was married with children.
