Upon hearing this, Ji Huangquan nodded, but his expression showed some worry. His mission was not closely related to what was happening here; his original plan was to rescue the people and then leave.

So after helping the other party through the great calamity, he should have left, but he was ambushed along the way and then inexplicably lost some memories. Even when Ji Huangquan tried to recall them, he found that those memories were still blank and he couldn't remember them no matter what.

Ji Huangquan wanted to know what exactly happened during those days. Otherwise, why couldn't he remember anything? But whatever happened, Ji Huangquan knew that he would find out someday, even if he didn't know now.

Ji Huangquan also started going to the fields with the people of Fengjia Village. Feng Biluo originally wanted to go, but Ji Huangquan stopped her. Ji Huangquan told Feng Biluo to stay at home and not worry about her own supplies. He said that since Feng Biluo had her own supplies, it wouldn't be a big problem for her to use them while Ji Huangquan was doing his work.

Feng Biluo looked at the child in her arms and nodded in agreement. There shouldn't be so much rain this season, especially since it was almost winter, yet it just so happened to rain today.

When Feng Biluo saw Feng Biluo looking gloomy, holding the child in her arms, she couldn't help but show a bit of contemplation. She then decided to go and take a look at the Chongyang tree, which was growing very well.

Feng Biluo breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the Chongyang tree, but then she suddenly noticed a figure in the river not far away, climbing on the tree. Feng Biluo was a little surprised, as she was quite familiar with this person.

Feng Biluo placed the child directly into her spatial dimension. No one around saw it. Feng Biluo jumped down and retrieved the child. When Feng Biluo looked at Gu Guoquan, she began to perform CPR on him. Gu Guoquan soon opened his eyes.

Gu Guoquan was in good physical condition and woke up without artificial respiration. When he looked at Feng Biluo, he said, "It's you... cough cough..."

"Major Gu, what's wrong with you? Weren't you supposed to be suppressing bandits?" Feng Biluo asked Gu Guoquan. Gu Guoquan got up, swaying unsteadily, and Feng Biluo immediately helped him up. Upon hearing Feng Biluo's words, Gu Guoquan's expression turned cold and somewhat fierce.

"We were deceived." Deceived by those bandits, causing them to fall into a trap. Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo glanced at Gu Guoquan but did not ask any questions. Feng Biluo understood that many people had sacrificed their lives during the bandit suppression.

Feng Biluo helped Gu Guoquan back home. On the way back, Ji Huangquan appeared. Gu Guoquan stared at Ji Huangquan in disbelief, "You...you weren't dead?"

"As you can see, I am alive." Ji Huangquan didn't like others leaning on Feng Biluo like this, so he reached out and helped her up. When Gu Guoquan heard this, he looked at Ji Huangquan.

"That's true, how could you possibly die so easily?" Someone like Ji Huangquan couldn't possibly die so easily, so the whole thing about Ji Huangquan dying was definitely fake. He looked at Ji Huangquan with a bit of emotion.

"It's good that you're alive." When looking at Feng Biluo, Gu Guoquan didn't mention anything about her. It's better for Ji Huangquan to know such things himself than for others to talk about them. Ji Huangquan saw through Gu Guoquan's thoughts and didn't say anything more before leading his people back.

When someone heard that something had happened to the bandit-suppression team, Village Chief Feng still came to see what was going on. "You were tricked into going to Ghost Forest. That place is difficult to travel through, but how could you have been tricked?"

"We were tricked in by a woman," Gu Guoquan said, his voice tinged with anger. He described the woman's appearance and expression, and the people of Fengjia Village looked at each other with strange and unpleasant expressions.

It turns out that the person who was deceived was none other than Qian Duoduo. After being rescued by Gu Guoquan, Qian Duoduo started saying that he would lead people to suppress the bandits. Gu Guoquan and the others were not locals. Sometimes, even locals are not very familiar with the Ghost Forest.

So, foolishly, they were tricked into going in, and Gu Guoquan was seriously injured and fell into the river. If Feng Biluo hadn't seen him, he might have died. At this moment, Gu Guoquan looked at the people present and asked, "What happened?"

"That woman you mentioned, if I'm not mistaken, should be Qian Duoduo from our village." She told Gu Guoquan about this, still harboring some grudges.

“We villagers never knew this woman was such an ingrate, actually colluding with bandits and causing you harm.” Looking at Gu Guoquan, Village Chief Feng said, “We should have just let these people starve to death back then.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Guoquan's expression became somewhat complicated, but he still said, "Fellow villagers, how could you possibly see through someone else's wolfish ambitions? Besides, we've all been fooled."

The woman looked pitiful and was crying bitterly. The people are everything to Gu Guoquan, and because she was willing to volunteer to be involved, he didn't suspect anything at all. Little did he know that he had been tricked.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Feng's expression was complicated, but he still told Gu Guoquan about Qian Duoduo. At this moment, Gu Guoquan actually remembered that there really was such a person as Qian Duoduo.

This was the same person that the Smiling Yama had taken away when he came looking for someone last time. He couldn't help but feel regretful; he shouldn't have believed that woman. But it was too late to say anything now.

Feng Biluo was truly speechless about Qian Duoduo's bizarre actions. This woman was out of her mind. Fengjia Village had been so good to their family. When Qian Duoduo's family was fleeing, it was the people of Fengjia Village who took them in.

Unexpectedly, Qian Duoduo was mentally ill. In her previous life, the bandits had only helped her when she was in trouble, and she had held a lifelong grudge against them. Fengjia Village had been a great help to her entire family, but unfortunately, Qian Duoduo only remembered the hatred.
