"I never imagined that such a huge change had taken place in Nan Chu during the time I was in the consultation room."
After listening to Su Wan's overview of the war between Jin and Chu, Chu Yi looked up at the night sky and said, "Fifth Brother has become like this and killed Father... I really don't know what to say. Perhaps it is Heaven's punishment for my rash attack on Jin."
When Bai Zhiyi advised him to attack the Great Jin, he did indeed want to achieve great things. Although he made rapid progress in the first half, he failed to completely defeat Wei Jingzhuo in the crucial Battle of Xiping Pass. By the time the Great Jin sent a new army, he realized that Southern Chu had no chance.
He had no will to fight anymore and told Bai Zhiyi that he wanted to stop the war, but he was poisoned by Bai Zhiyi's wine.
Su Wan was quite moved after hearing this. Chu Yi was a young man, and men inherently have the urge to achieve great things, especially with Bai Zhiyi fanning the flames around him.
"Brother Chu, Bai Zhiyi is ruthless and will pay the price sooner or later. The Jin-Chu War is over, so let's not dwell on it. How could you be unharmed after being in the same room with Patriarch Jiang?"
That's what she's most curious about.
Chu Yi said, "I woke up in a separate room, and there were many strange things in it. Patriarch Jiang couldn't see me from outside. I saw a wound on his neck, and whenever the wound started to bleed, he would inject himself with a potion..."
Su Wan understood what was going on after hearing this.
From Jiang Yan's diary, she learned that this improved secret medicine could stop bleeding. Jiang Yan injected herself with the medicine to save her life. But excessive injection of this medicine would cause one to lose their mind.
“When I woke up and saw him, he was no longer a normal person, and I didn’t dare to go out,” Chu Yi said. “After you and Jiang Wenpei opened the door, he killed Jiang Wenpei and went out to chase you, and only then did I dare to follow him out.”
Su Wan exclaimed in surprise, "You were locked up inside for more than half a month, how did you survive?"
"I haven't eaten anything, I've only survived on water." Chu Yi touched his deeply sunken cheeks. "I was starving and wanted to come out to find something to eat. The houses all collapsed, so I had to eat a lot of grass and leaves in the herb garden... Don't I look like a goat?"
Su Wan looked at his face and nodded.
Chu Yi said, "Madam Su, could you accompany this goat to find some food?"
Su Wan couldn't help but laugh, "No wonder Sister Chu said you're always so frivolous, even when you're this hungry you're still joking. Here, I have some food."
She took out a few bags of bread from the apartment and handed them to Chu Yi, along with two bottles of bottled water. These were the snacks she used while watching her TV series.
Chu Yi watched as she magically produced the item, his eyes widening as he asked, "Where did you get that from?"
“I am a goddess,” Su Wan said, handing him the bread bag in her left hand. “A goddess naturally has some extraordinary abilities. Tear the bag open yourself.”
Chu Yi took the bread, touched the plastic packaging, looked at the front by the moonlight, then turned it over to look at the back, reading the words: "Expiration date... 2024..."
"Hey, are you even hungry? You still have the nerve to think about this."
Chu Yi smiled, tore open the packaging, opened his mouth and stuffed the fist-sized piece of bread into his mouth, swallowing it whole without even chewing.
Su Wan quickly handed over the water: "Don't worry about choking, eat slowly."
Chu Yi unscrewed the bottle cap, gulped down two mouthfuls, and said, "The water in the treatment room has a slightly salty taste. This one doesn't."
"You drank sodium chloride injection, didn't you?"
“That’s the name,” Chu Yi said, eating without looking up. “Are there any more? I think I could eat a hundred.”
Su Wan took out two large boxes of unopened egg yolk pies, along with vacuum-packed beef jerky. There were also sunflower seeds, spicy strips, Japanese beans, rainbow candy, jelly... but these snacks didn't fill her stomach, so there was no need to take them out.
Chu Yi devoured everything, not caring what was given to him: five bags of bread, twenty pies, and a pile of jerky. Su Wan was worried he'd get a stomach perforation.
"Alright, alright, Brother Chu, stop eating," she picked up the empty bag from the ground and stuffed it back into the apartment's trash can. "Eating too much will upset your stomach."
"I'm still not full," Chu Yi said, taking a few more sips of water. "But I feel alive again."
Su Wan said, "Brother Chu, A Jin's life is in danger. I need to get him into the treatment room as soon as possible. But Patriarch Jiang is wandering outside. Please help me."
Chu Yi said, "I will naturally grant Madam Su's request. However, I cannot harm Patriarch Jiang."
“That defensive gun can do that,” Su Wan said. “Patriarch Jiang has lost his mind, why would he carry that thing on his person?”
Chu Yi said, "I came to the Holy Land when I was a child. I saw Patriarch Jiang wearing this metal tube back then. He probably got used to wearing it."
Su Wan was also somewhat helpless. Chu Yi was right; Jiang Yan had always carried this gun, and it had probably become a habit subconsciously. After killing those blacksmiths, he habitually put the defensive gun back on his waist.
She wasn't capable of snatching the gun from Jiang Yan, so she could only pin her hopes on Chu Yi.
As Chu Yi got up to stretch his limbs, she instructed him, "Brother Chu, the Jiang family head is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is very sensitive to sound and movement. Be careful to avoid making any noise... He's here."
Peeking down, Jiang Yan wandered around outside a few times before walking into the courtyard.
Chu Yi said softly, "Madam Su, I have another idea. If I can't steal the defensive gun, I'll lure Patriarch Jiang out of the sacred land and to the mountaintop, and you can take Wei Jingzhuo directly to the treatment room."
Su Wan thought it was indeed a good idea. This way, Wei Jingzhuo could be brought into the examination room as soon as possible.
The entire Jinhua Mountain was surrounded by floodwaters, making Jiang Yan's survival a significant threat. Although Chu Yi was highly skilled, if Jiang Yan caught up with him, his life would be in danger.
