Fast Time Travel: The Supporting Role's Counterattack

Chapter 573
Hua Jinyue walked out at a staggering pace, there was nothing to investigate, even if the monster did a thorough investigation, the murderer would not be caught.

Outside the city, a man with a thick sword behind his back quickly chased a ball of light.

"Hey, where is the goblin running away!" The man pulled out the big thick sword behind him, and swung it towards the ball of light in front, only to hear a female scream, a woman appeared from the ball of light, and slammed it heavily on the ground.

"Little Taoist priest, I have retreated again and again, why are you still pushing me so hard?" the woman complained.

"Stop talking nonsense! Die quickly." The thick sword in the man's hand was quickly thrown towards the woman's eyebrows. The woman waved her sleeves to block it, and the thick sword directly broke through the woman's barrier and hit the woman's eyebrows.

"what!"

The woman screamed ferociously, and the man stepped forward and recalled his thick sword. The sword seemed to be alive and fell into the scabbard behind him.

"All those who are facing the battle are in the front, and the monsters will be suppressed!"

At the same time, the man took out the gourd on his waist and opened the cork, the woman's whole body was sucked in, and then he put the cork back on.

The gourd was held in front of the eyes and shook a few times. It was not an ordinary gourd. There was a circle of red charms carved on the gourd, and it was dyed with red cinnabar.

"Hmph!" The man sneered, "The little goblin is not obedient, and made me chase you for half a month!"

He tied the gourd back to his waist and took out a compass from his arms. The iron needle inside turned around and pointed forward. The man sneered, "It turns out there are monsters ahead. I'm really rich!"

The figure of the man jumped from tree to tree, and soon disappeared into the woods.

Early the next morning, Shao Jinyou came to look for Hua Jinyue, and when he saw the servant in the inn, he casually grabbed someone passing by and asked, "Did something happen here?"

The passer-by is a tenant who lives here, and he said fearfully, "He's dead!"

"He's dead!" Shao Jinyou felt uneasy, "Who is dead?"

"A man," the passer-by said helplessly, "I don't know about the others."

"Young Master" Hua Jinyue went downstairs, caught a glimpse of Shao Jinyou, and walked over.

Shao Jinyou was still worried that something was wrong with Hua Jinyue, and he was relieved to see her, "It's good that you are fine, I heard that someone died here, do you want to change to another inn?"

"No, it's fine here." Hua Jinyue waved her hand and refused, "The official has finished interrogating, let's go out and talk."

She went out first, and Shao Jinyou followed behind.

"I'll go back and ask my servants to inquire about all the Chou families in the town. Except for the Chou family I visited before, there are no other Chou families. Could it be that you misremembered the names of your relatives?" Shao Jin Yu asked.

Hua Jinyue thought for a moment, "I remember correctly, and I don't know why this happened. Could it be that they moved away?"

"It's possible," Shao Jinyou agreed.

"This is too bad, I might not be able to find them." Hua Jinyue was very distressed and at a loss.

Shao Jinyou comforted him and said, "Miss Bai, don't worry, you stay in the inn first, and I'll ask the servants in the house to help you find out."

"Thank you so much" Hua Jinyue said touchedly.

Shao Jinyou led Hua Jinyue through the streets to familiarize her with the surrounding environment.

Hungry, Shao Jinyou led her to a restaurant for dinner, and before she knew it, it was night, he sent Hua Jinyue back, and left.

The next few days were like this. Shao Jinhuan never forgot to come over to find Hua Jinyue. The two of them had a great time.

Shao Jinyou thought that it would not take long before he could take her back home by pushing the boat along the river.

Unexpectedly, a random person I met on the road would break this situation.

Hua Jinyue was grabbed by a young man's arm, "Cui Niang, it's really you, I'll see you with my own eyes..."

"Bah, bah, what are you talking about? You have mistakenly admitted the wrong person. Her name is not Cuiniang, her name is Xiaobai. Please don't pester us, or we will report you to the police." Shao Jinyou mercilessly slapped the man's hand away. The claws were in front of Hua Jinyue.

"Cui Niang, it's me, your husband, take a good look at me!" The man did not give up and decided that Hua Jinyue was his wife.

"I don't know you!" Hua Jinyue said firmly, presumably he is Cuiniang's family.

She is not the real Cuiniang, she has to maintain a relationship with Cuiniang and her family.

"You are Cui Niang, Cui Niang is my fault, I shouldn't leave you alone on the mountain, you can punish me however you want," the man said with tears in his eyes.

It is said that men do not shed tears lightly. This man seems to be sincere to Cuiniang, but it has nothing to do with her.

Hua Jinyue hid behind Shao Jinyou, "You really mistook the person, my name is Xiaobai, not Cui Niang!"

"No, you are"

Shaojinyou couldn't bear it anymore and punched the man in the face twice, the man was knocked down to the ground, he dragged Hua Jinyue back to the inn in a hurry.

"You stay in the room and don't come out. I'll go back and tell my family and come over to stay with you later," Shao Jinyou told Hua Jinyue.

Hua Jinyue waved her hand, "No, I can handle it myself."

Shao Jinyou said, "That person might be a lunatic. You can't beat him at all. I will accompany you. If he finds you, I will teach him a lesson!"

"Okay, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Hua Jinyue couldn't persuade Shao Jinyou and had to agree.

Shao Jinyou pushed Hua Jinyue upstairs, "Go back to your room and don't come out"

After setting up Hua Jinyue, Shao Jinyou went to the counter and gave the shopkeeper 20 taels of silver, "If you ask us, don't say anything."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly as he took the money, and Shao Jinyou hurried back. It was already dusk when he arrived. He asked for the room next to Hua Jinyue and ordered some dishes to eat.

Hua Jinyue was absorbing spiritual power, when there was a knock on the door, she went down to open the door, and Shao Jinyou stood at her door.

"Do you really live here?" Hua Jinyue asked tentatively, "People have died here. It's not safe. What if the murderer comes back to commit crimes again?"

"After what happened last time, there are not many people in the inn. It's even more unsafe for you to stay here as a girl." Shao Jinyou said, "I'm here with you. If you encounter anything, I can help you solve it."

Hua Jinyue sighed, it has been seven days since the last murder, and I don't know if that monster will kill again.

At night, a few drunk men were walking on the road. A black shadow followed them. The black shadow got closer and closer to them. One of them noticed something was wrong and told the people next to him, "Let's go home quickly. It's not safe here."

"What's the matter?" One of the men staggered and said, "The few of us, no matter what, others are afraid of us."

A person behind noticed that the shadow was covering them, and there were several screams one after another. After the shadow passed, several men died directly, and the corpses turned into mummies.

Early in the morning, when Hua Jinyue and Shao Jinyou went out to eat, they heard the diners at the next table say, "He's dead again, there are still five people, all of them turned into mummies, it's very weird"

Hua Jinyue frowned, unlike the dead in the inn, they were not bitten throats but turned into mummies, which meant there was another monster.
