Chapter 274 Counterattack



Even if they are married, both spouses have their own lives.

When He Ruixue was on a business trip, Jiang Yanxu would return to the funeral home to live.

After all, the evil energy there can suppress his physical condition, and it also makes it easier for him, a Taoist priest, to do his homework in the morning without being disturbed by curious neighbors.

That day, He Ruixue came back from a business trip. The truck driver who was traveling with her had a temporary mission, so he dropped her off outside the city and left along the provincial road.

As I was walking along the path and passing through a dense forest, I suddenly smelled a rotten smell, like meat rotting in high temperatures.

But winter had just passed, and the frost that formed in the early morning did not melt until noon.

Besides, even if the meat and fish become smelly, everyone will put them into the pot.

It won't make you sick if you eat something unclean. You would rather feel uncomfortable in your stomach than waste even a little bit of meat. How could you just throw it outside?

She thought it was a dead wild cat or mouse, but she felt something was wrong. Why did it look so much like the corpse she had carried in her previous life?

They say curiosity kills the cat. She originally wanted to take a detour, but as she turned, the smell became stronger.

When I looked down, I found a small mound on the road, covered with red soil.

He Ruixue had a bad premonition and gently kicked the pile of dirt away with her foot, revealing a pale human hand.

She was so scared that she took several steps back and looked around subconsciously.

Suddenly, under a big tree not far away, a man with his face covered with a black cloth appeared, revealing only a pair of vulture-like eyes, cold and cruel.

Perhaps he had been standing there watching her as she passed by, like a hunter waiting for his prey.

What was even more disturbing was that he was holding a blood-stained knife in his hand, the blade of which was polished to an extremely sharp edge, shining coldly in the sunlight.

As a witness, He Ruixue was discovered by the murderer and her first reaction when the murderer walked towards her was of course to run away.

Since she traveled through time, she has not neglected her exercise and often runs in the mountains with Jiang Yanxu. It is not easy to outrun the murderer.

But there was a jungle next to her, so it was not difficult for her to hide in it and then use her flexible body to escape.

The idea was good, but it was difficult to implement. She had just walked a long way and was almost exhausted.

Because he was always alert to the people chasing him, he was not focused and accidentally tripped over a tree root that came out from nowhere.

She braked in time to avoid falling, but it did slow her down.

The man caught up with her in a short while, and without wasting any time talking to her, he raised the knife and stabbed it towards her heart.

He Ruixue subconsciously dodged and stretched her right shoulder forward.

The expected pain did not come. Instead, a golden light flashed before his eyes, followed by a wailing sound.

The bird was shaken out of the forest, and the blade sank into the shoulder blade of the person in front of her. The person was in great pain, but he endured it and reached out to strangle her neck.

He Ruixue reacted quickly, stepped forward and pulled the knife from his shoulder.

While he was in so much pain that his hands couldn't hold steady, he gritted his teeth, ignored the hand on his neck, thrust hard forward in the direction of his heart, and stabbed the knife directly into his vitals.

A large amount of warm blood gushed out, poured onto her forehead, and flowed down along her eyebrows.

He Ruixue's nose was filled with the stench of rust, and the bright red color on her face made her look like a demon.

At this moment, her eyes were full of indifference, as if she had seen a stall owner killing a fresh chicken alive in the vegetable market.

I stood there and watched him bleed to death, his body gradually becoming cold and stiff.

After confirming that the person was dead and the adrenaline gradually subsided, He Ruixue half-knelt on the ground exhausted.

As if she thought of something, she took out the dark green tortoise shell that Jiang Yanxu had given her from her pocket.

Ever since he had taken over her other half of the bedroom with a clear conscience, the amulet that was used to protect her from being attacked by bad guys in the middle of the night had lost its function and no longer needed to be hidden under her pillow.

He Ruixue, on the other hand, was used to taking it out and winding it around in her hands before going to bed. She was not used to it being gone all of a sudden, so she found a rope to string it up and carried it with her.

It was this unintentional action that saved her life today.

At this time, the surface of the tortoise shell has lost its luster, the originally carved lines have disappeared, and are replaced by broken cracks.

Rebound attack, effective for one minute.

Jiang Yanxu's words echoed in her ears. He Ruixue was not only grateful for her past life experience, which allowed her to develop a strong ability to withstand pressure.

The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he can remain. He can accurately find the enemy's weak points and is ruthless enough not to hesitate when it's time to strike.

Otherwise, after this minute, she will still die.

She ignored the body on the ground, walked to the river, and simply washed the blood off her body.

Walk to the nearest police station, report the case, and surrender yourself.

After listening to her story, the comrade who received her was very surprised. Seeing the bloodstains on her clothes and the bruises on her neck, he reported it directly without any suspicion.

The people inside formed a team and hurried to the place she mentioned.

The man was still lying there. Someone went forward to check and came back to report, "Captain, there are indeed two wounds, one in the shoulder and one in the heart. The second one is fatal. The murder weapon is still there."

The remaining few people dug up another buried body and found that it was a female corpse, who looked quite young.

Apparently someone had recognized her and was surprised to see her photos for comparison.

"Captain, isn't this Mr. He's daughter-in-law? He reported her missing last week, but I didn't expect she's already..."

"Mr. He, who is that?"

Hearing that there was someone with the same surname as her, He Ruixue was somewhat concerned and asked directly.

Considering her connection to the case, the man replied, "He's a railway engineer. I heard that he designed not only the railways in the city, but also the surrounding railways.
