Chapter 439: Chapter 432: Saving Lives From A Thousand Miles Away

Chen Dabao and Li Xuan were restless these days because the skies were full of geese and swallows coming and going, but Jin Yanzi hadn’t returned home.

Upon hearing Ms. Chu’s words, they looked around and ran under the big tree to take a closer look. Disappointed, they said, "There’s no Jin Bao."

Li Xuan shouted loudly, "Jin Bao, come out, don’t play hide and seek with us."

Indeed, the sound of a swallow’s murmur came from the tree. It was Jin Yanzi’s voice, "Mummy, quickly find a secluded place, someone is urgently looking for you."

Chen Dabao exclaimed in surprise, "This call really sounds like Jin Bao’s voice." He then shouted, jumping up and down, "Jin Bao, is that you? Hurry down, we miss you so much."

Ms. Chu and Li Xuan followed suit by shouting after hearing this.

Chen Afu said to Hong Fei who was beside her, "Watch the kids, I’m going to the purification room." Then, she quickly got up and went inside the house.

She entered the purification room, bolted the door to the bedroom, and left a crack open that led to the backyard.

In a little while, a flash of black light, and Jin Yanzi squeezed in. Chen Afu then closed the door, and they both entered the space.

Jin Yanzi said, "I’ve found Daddy Chu’s uncle, indeed found in the morning, and I’ve been following him ever since. I was afraid he would get into trouble, so I didn’t dare return to report to you, Mum. I thought I would return when he goes to sleep at night. Unexpectedly, this afternoon, Daddy Chu’s uncle made a last-minute decision to go to another camp. When passing by a mountain, a heavy rain suddenly fell, and Daddy Chu’s uncle fell down the cliff with his horse..."

Upon hearing that Jin Yanzi had found the alive third master, Chen Afu was overjoyed. But hearing that he fell off the cliff, Chen Afu screamed in shock.

Jin Yanzi continued, "Don’t panic, Mum. Let me explain it slowly..."

Chen Afu was so anxious she wanted to jump up and down, but it was still talking slowly. It was so infuriating. Falling from a cliff, if he fell to pieces, no divine medicine would be of use.

Jin Yanzi continued, "The mountain isn’t too high, the cliff wasn’t too steep, and his subordinates quickly found Daddy Chu’s uncle. He wasn’t shattered, but he had a big blood hole on his head that kept bleeding, and he was barely breathing. His military doctor, who must have been instructed, quickly took out the medicinal pill, dividing it in two. Half was given to Marquis Chu to swallow, and the other half was diluted with some water and applied to the wound. The medicine was a little scarce, and the broken arm and leg could only be treated with the military doctor’s medicine."

Chen Afu finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Good. Third Uncle is okay now, the disaster is finally over."

Jin Yanzi added, "Mummy, I am not finished yet."

Chen Afu’s heart rose back into her throat, she urged, "Then you say it quickly. You’re making me anxious!"

Jin Yanzi continued, "Although Daddy Chu’s uncle didn’t die, he didn’t wake up either. The military doctor said that perhaps the portion of the medicinal pill was too small to heal him but only keep him alive temporarily. If he doesn’t have that kind of divine medicine to save his life, he probably won’t make it. The military doctor then rushed people to find the divine doctors, hoping that the little monk could reach before Daddy Chu’s uncle dies, and find a way..."

Chen Afu wasn’t interested in listening to the rest of the story. She bent down, picked up a brocade box from the ground, which contained another divine medicine, specifically reserved for Shiyi. When she returned, Mrs. Luo gave this piece of medicine back to her. For safety, she always kept it in the space.

She took out the pill and said, "With this pill, Third Uncle’s illness should be cured, right?"

Jin Yanzi chirped, "Since that old monk left two pills, they should be enough to cure him." It added, "If this pill can really cure Daddy Chu’s uncle, I will admire that old monk from my heart and will never call him an old baldy again."

Chen Afu handed the pill to it and instructed, "Crush this pill and secretly mix it in Third Uncle’s decoction..." She thought, with Jin Yanzi’s saliva on the medicine, the effectiveness of the medicine would be enhanced.

Jin Yanzi nodded, tucked the pill under its wings, and flew away.

Chen Afu was extremely anxious, feeling powerless, her body slightly trembling. She sat on the ground weakly, thinking that if the third master died, the sky over the Chu family would truly collapse.

Heaven really was favoring the Chus, allowing him to only encounter mishaps today under the eye of Jin Yanzi. In this era, the ones who could fly thousands of miles a day and be useful to them, was only Jin Yanzi.

Things like traveling eight hundred miles a day, sending urgent messages across those eight hundred miles, were all exaggerations. Even if they changed horses without changing riders, they couldn’t be that fast, especially at this time when there weren’t any highways, and the time it took to cross mountains and rivers would still be delayed.

Chu Lingxuan once said that Dingzhou was about two thousand seven hundred miles away from Liaozhou. It would be the fastest speed if they could get the news from there in six days.

In hindsight, both the pills should have been given to the third master at the same time. The old monk gave two pills, which should have some purpose, but they didn’t fully understand the old monk’s intention.

And Marquis Chu, such a cunning person could also make a wrong judgment. It might not be a wrong judgment. For the sake of loyalty, he’d rather let his own family take risks. That’s what a loyal minister does!

Chen Afu despised Marquis Chu for the second time, the first time was because of Abbot Liao Chen.

Suddenly, Miss Chu’s crying could be heard from outside. She quickly stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and left the space.

Outside, Chu Hanyan was wiping her tears while Dabao and Mrs. Huang were comforting her.

"What’s wrong with Yan’er?" Chen Afu walked over and asked.

With large tears streaming down her cheeks, Chu Hanyan said, "Mum, I really smelled Jin Bao just now. But, the scent disappeared again. I couldn’t find it anywhere in the courtyard. Jin Bao wouldn’t abandon us, would it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan started to cry loudly.

Chen Dabao shook his head and said, "Little sister, Jin Bao comes to us every year. It’s kind and loyal to us, it wouldn’t abandon us."

Chen Afu was really impressed by the young mistress’s sense of smell. If they were in their previous life, she would definitely be a top perfumer.

Chen Afu squatted down to wipe the little girl’s tears and said, "Your brother is right, Jin Bao wouldn’t abandon us. It must have encountered some urgent matter, took a look at you, and hurriedly went to deal with it. When it’s done, it will come back to us."

The little girl stopped crying when both her brother and mother said so, believing that it must be the case.

Initially, Mrs. Huang didn’t know who Jin Bao was. Later, when she heard it was a swallow and heard from Mrs. Luo and the maids about the wonders of Jin Yanzi, she was amazed and surprised, and her eyes widened. She kept saying, "Oh, my goodness, there’s such a bird and such a thing. That’s really strange..."

In her view, Qi Qi and Hui Hui talking so much was already extraordinary, but she didn’t expect that there were even more clever birds.

This night, Chen Afu was destined for another sleepless night. She sent the two children to the space to accompany Jin Bei, while she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
