Chapter 29: The First Encounter with Jiang Yu

It takes about an hour to return from the county town to Shangyan Valley. Su Guan and Su Mu walk slowly, carrying things in their baskets. On such a hot day, sweat forms on Su Mu's forehead.

There's still about a mile to go before reaching Shangyan Valley. Along the way, they will pass by a rural temple dedicated to the Earth God. The nearby villages occasionally come to offer sacrifices, praying for a bountiful harvest in the coming year and better days.

Usually, when passing by this temple, Su Guan never had the urge to go inside. But this time, as if some mysterious force were drawing her in, she unconsciously headed towards it.

"Su Guan?"

Su Mu called out to her as she went into the temple without looking back. She didn't respond, so he had no choice but to follow her.

The temple isn't large; it houses a statue of the Earth God. The villagers in the area built it themselves, and it looks a bit run-down, with spiderwebs hanging on the door.

There are several puddles of fresh blood on the ground that haven't yet congealed. Su Guan looks around but finds nothing inside, only scattered drops of blood leading in.

Following the bloodstains, she eventually sees a purple robe behind the stone statue of the Earth God.

Jiang Yu is severely injured, almost in a state of unconsciousness. When he hears someone approaching, he instinctively tightens his grip on the sword he's holding.

Just as Su Guan reveals herself, the sword moves toward her, but Jiang Yu is too weak, and the sword doesn't manage to strike.

Su Guan is startled and takes a step back, stumbling over a stone and falling to the ground.

The sword falls to the ground, making a crisp sound. Su Mu heared it and rush in.

"What happened?"

As soon as they enter, they see Su Guan getting up from the ground.

"Brother, someone is injured!"

Su Mu is a healer, and when he hears that someone is injured, he immediately approaches. The brother and sister see a man in a purple robe covered in blood, leaning against the stone statue. It's clear that he's the one who was being pursued on horseback moments ago.

"Is it him?"

This is their third encounter, and Jiang Yu is still somewhat conscious. His eyesight is impaired, and he can only hear voices. In the chaos earlier, the pursuers threw lime at him, causing damage to his eyes. He can only vaguely see a small figure.

"Do you know him?" Su Mu asks with a furrowed brow.

"I don't know him, but I've seen him a few times, just passing by," Su Guan replies. She has a gut feeling that this masked man is likely an important NPC.

Just like I was possessed by a demon just now, I ran straight here.

Su Guan approached him, wanting to check on his condition, but was stopped by Su Mu.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm saving him. Second Brother, look at how close to death he is. We can't just stand by!" Su Guan withdrew her hand from his grasp and knelt down without hesitation.

Su Mu noticed that he was covered in sword wounds, and he also had a sword in his hand. With injuries like this, he must have encountered some trouble. If they saved him, would it bring trouble to them?

"How are you?"

Jiang Yu knew that the young girl was getting closer to him, and he could faintly smell a milky fragrance coming from her.
