Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

At night, the river was sparkling, and the sounds of water and wind were like a symphony. Wujiu held my hand tightly and refused to let go.

I just let him lead me, and stood with him silently at the railing on the second floor, looking at the scenery in the distance.

Perhaps it was the long silence that made the atmosphere seem a little solemn, Wu Jiu was the first to loosen his hand, took out a bamboo flute from his waist, and began to play. If it were normal, I would probably applaud when I heard such a melodious flute sound, but when I thought about how I had worked so hard to plan a trip together, I thought I had concealed it from the world, but in the end, I was seen through by others and had no cards at all.

What else do you want to enjoy music?

Wu Jiu also saw that I was not interested at all, so he simply put away the flute and said, "Why don't I teach you how to drive the poisonous insects to find people? Are you willing to learn?"

When I heard this topic, my expression immediately changed, "Of course I would!"

He took out a small box from his arms, opened the lid and found a glowing insect inside. "This is called a firefly."

"Fireflies?" I asked subconsciously.

Wujiu smiled and shook his head, "Of course it's not a firefly. Although the firefly Gu can also glow, its lifespan is much longer than that of a firefly and it is much more difficult to raise. Come! Give me your hand." As he said that, he lifted up my palm and poured the firefly Gu into my palm.

We trained all night until the sky was getting light, then we returned to our respective cabins to rest.

I thought Wujiu was just making small talk, but I didn't expect that he was really teaching me and even gave me the firefly Gu and the box.

Although Dayue's current strength is less than one-tenth of Daqi's, I have not forgotten that Wujiu is the king of Dayue. Even if he has heard some things about Youzhou, he does not know the whole picture. I admit that I am gambling, but there is no better way at the moment.

When the ship was approaching the dock for supplies, I took the opportunity to meet up with Tianhe and the others, and left a message for Shen Yunzhou. Of course, I only told him that I had enough fun and wanted to go back, and asked him to find a way to help me stop Wujiu.

This place is still some distance from Youzhou. Tianhe said he knew a shortcut, and he didn't even need to rent a horse or a vehicle. He could take me across a mountain with his lightness skills. But this would leave the mute slave behind. In order to save time, we had to go our separate ways and meet up in Youzhou.

It usually takes two or three days to walk this distance, but it only took me more than two hours by lying on Tianhe’s back.

The efficiency of the human plane is really good.

We arrived outside Youzhou City and looked at the city gate from afar. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It was exactly the same scene as I saw in my dream.

However, the martial law inspection at the city gate was the same as in the dream, and everyone had to be inspected.

"After nightfall, we will find another way to enter the city, not necessarily through the city gate." With Tianhe's skills, the city wall is not a problem for him.

However, when I recalled the fragmented scenes in my dream, a strange idea suddenly came to my mind, and I pulled him in the opposite direction.

In front of him, I took out the box Wujiu gave me and activated the Firefly Gu. If the person I was looking for appeared within a hundred miles, the Firefly Gu would respond. This was obviously my first time, but I seemed to be very talented in controlling Gu. I watched the dots of fluorescence gradually fly away, feeling a little bit of anticipation and a little bit of trepidation.

"How do you think my foster father is not in the city?"

"Sixth sense, maybe."

"Sixth... sense? What is the sixth sense?"

I looked at him. This was a bit difficult to explain, so I changed the subject and said, "I'm a little hungry. Is there any place nearby where I can find something to eat?"

"Don't run around here. I'll go take a look."

I breathed a sigh of relief only after watching Tianhe's back disappear into the distance.

Not long after Tianhe came back with the food, Firefly Gu also came back. After seeing the feedback that I had gained something, I excitedly stuffed the half-eaten pie back into Tianhe's hands and said, "There's a discovery! Let's follow!"

Following the trail of the firefly, we found a small village two miles outside Youzhou City. The firefly stopped outside a house at the east end of the village. I was eager to visit, but Tianhe stopped me and asked me to wait on the hillside outside the village while he went to investigate first.

This time I didn't listen and followed him quietly.

There was a young man sitting in the yard of that family weaving straw ropes. Tianhe pushed open the door and went in to question him. After a few words, the man attacked first, but was subdued by Tianhe and dragged into the house. I hurriedly followed him in, but there were not many things in the house, and it was obvious that there was no place to hide people.

The man was knocked unconscious by Tianhe again and could not be interrogated at all.

"Could it be a mistake?" Tianhe questioned.

"Made a mistake? Then why did you hit me so hard?" I couldn't help but get a little angry, but deep down I still believed in the Firefly Gu's ability to detect.

"He started it first!" Tianhe answered confidently.

I simply released the firefly insect again and urged it to look for someone again. This time, after circling the room, it hovered near the bed, as if it had locked onto its target.

I walked over and tried to lift the bed board, and sure enough, there was a hidden mechanism underneath.

Tianhe pushed me aside, walked in front of me, and tentatively opened the mechanism. It was a wooden door leading to the underground, and when it was opened, it looked like a cellar.

"I'll go down and take a look. You stay here."

"Together we will!"

He looked at me and knew that he couldn't overcome my temper, so he asked me to follow him.

In the cellar, we found Fang Yian chained up.

The process of finding him was surprisingly smooth, but seeing that he was covered in wounds, even half of his face was burned beyond recognition, and the scars on his body had not been properly treated, many places had ulcerated, and even smelled bad. I couldn't hold back, and tears welled up in my eyes.

Tianhe glanced at me, took out his weapon and untied him first, and then, as if to comfort me, whispered, "He's still alive."

Finally, it was Tianhe who carried him out of the cellar. Just as we were discussing how to get him out, we seemed to hear a sound outside.

Then someone struck a gong, as if sounding an alarm, and countless arrows with sparks shot towards the hut.

This place was not big to begin with, and there was almost no room for the three of us to hide. Sparks fell on the roof, arrows penetrated the windows, and in a moment, thick smoke billowed, and the fire grew bigger and bigger. Tianhe handed Fang Yian to me and asked me to support him, and then he rushed out carrying the man who had fainted before, using him as a human shield to attract fire.

The thatched hut could not help burning, and soon the corner of the west wall collapsed. I covered my own mouth and nose with one hand with my sleeve, and covered Fang Yian's mouth and nose with the other hand. When I saw a gap, I carried him on my back and escaped from there.

Tianhe helped me buy time to escape, and I ran towards the woods outside the village in the direction he pointed. Although there were pursuers behind me, fortunately they were not powerful, and I finally managed to shake them off with my mediocre skills.
