When I saw Han Feiyan walk in from outside with this expression, I felt that something was wrong. Following me getting up from the bed to ask Han Feiyan: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so scared? Your face doesn't look right at all! And what are you doing out so late?"

  I asked Han Feiyan this, and she merely looked up at me with a glance, but didn't directly answer my question. Instead, she asked me: "What time is it now?"

  Seeing her ask like this, I glanced at the quartz clock hanging on the wall and replied: "Can't you see for yourself? It's just past four o'clock, what's wrong?"

  Listen, it's just past four o'clock now. Han Feiyan also glanced at the quartz clock hanging on the wall. Then she pushed me and walked towards a chair in the room. In a moment, she took out a piece of paper from this chair.

  After she fetched this paper, she handed it to me. I could feel that her palms were all sweaty when she handed the paper over to me!

  After she handed me this paper, she said to me: "This paper is a route map I drew, it's the safest road out of the village. Now go back to the tent and give this route map to your brother, let him follow the route map and hurry up right away, don't delay for a moment! After giving the route map to him, you also don't linger too long, hurry back!"

  "What? I have to come back?" I held this paper and was somewhat puzzled as to what kind of trick Han Feiyan had up her sleeve.

  "This is not the time for you to figure it out, hurry up and get going, the sooner you do, the safer your brother will be!" Han Feiyan emphasized to me.

  Looking at her serious and eager expression, I felt that she was not telling a lie, so I nodded and followed the route map she handed me to run towards the tent in the darkness.

  Before long, I ran into the tent. After I entered the tent, I saw that Du Jie was indeed inside. Seeing me back, Du Jie hastily asked: "Why did you come back so early? And what are you trying to do by making me come back so early?"

  Hearing Du Jie say that, I didn't want to waste my time explaining to him either. I followed me and handed over the map given by Han Feiyan to him, then said to him: "This is the route out of the village, now hurry up and run out of the village according to the route shown on the map, hurry up!"

  "What? You want me to run out of the village? Are you kidding me? Even if I do, what's the point? That chick will just call me back later and I'll have to come back anyway. Isn't this a waste of energy? Isn't this just messing around?"

  When Du Jie said that, I also felt very helpless. What Du Jie said was indeed reasonable, if that girl used the blood curse to summon him back, he would have to return to the village even if he ran to the ends of the earth. However, this was entrusted to me by Han Feiyan, and I think she must have had her reasons for doing so.

  After figuring all this out, I knocked on Du Jie's head and gave him a white eye, saying: "What's the point of you caring so much? Let you go and hurry up!"

  "Even if I really can escape from the village, what about you?" Du Jie asked me.

  "What's it to you? Can't I just leave if I want to? Just do as I say and there won't be any more trouble in my village. Listen to me, hurry up and go, or it'll be too late! You don't really want to die in this village, do you?"

  As I shouted at him like this, Du Jie hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to me: "Alright, then I'll leave now, you take care of yourself."

  After I finished saying this, Du Jie took a look at the route map I gave him, then confirmed the direction and left the tent...

  Seeing Du Jie leave, I didn't waste any time and quickly returned to Han Jingjing's house according to Han Feiyan's instructions.

  When I returned, the time had already reached 4:30 in the morning. When I entered the room, I saw Han Feiyan fiddling with some oil paints, and beside her were a set of clothes and a hairpiece.

  Look, I'm back. Han Feiyan didn't say a word, directly pressed me onto the chair, then told me to sit still and not move, and then took the oil paint in her hand and started painting my face.

  "Not you, what are you drawing on my face?" I thought Han Feiyan was doing something that completely baffled me.

  "Shut up and sit still, you'll know soon enough!"

  After saying this to me, Han Feiyan's face turned cold and she started drawing on my face again.

  After fussing around on my face for almost twenty minutes, Han Feiyan finally finished. When I ran to the mirror and took a look, damn!

  Is this still me?!!

  In just a short moment, I was transformed into a woman by Hua Feiyan! And what's more, I became a stunning beauty without any sense of incongruity!

  "What's going on?" I looked at Han Feiyan in surprise.

  As I asked this, Han Feiyan put away the oil paints and said to me: "Having followed Witch for so long, on the surface, I am loyal to her, but in fact, I have also learned some tricks privately. Although I can't disguise people, through oil paintings and other things, I can still make a different face. Do you know who I've disguised you as now?"

  "Who is it?" I looked at Han Feiyan in a daze.

  "I've turned you into Qiu Lian."

  "Qiū Lì? Who is Qiū Lì?" I am a head of fog, actually, the name Qiū Lì seems not so unfamiliar to me, I seem to have heard it somewhere.

  "Qiu Li is the woman who had an affair with your brother in our village," said Han Feiyan word by word.

  "Ah? Is it her?" With Han Feiyan's explanation, I suddenly thought of it. After Du Jie and I escaped from the village earlier, Du Jie had a blood curse attack, and the name he shouted out with his mouth was probably called Qiu Li.

  "What did you turn me into her for? What are you playing at?" I asked.

  "Just stop worrying about so much and first take off the clothes on your body, and put on this girl's outfit." After finishing speaking, Han Feiyan handed me a set of ethnic minority women's clothing.

  To be honest, I couldn't wear women's clothes at all. But with Han Feiyan's "gentle" help, I finally managed to put them on...

  After putting on the clothes of this ethnic minority, at first glance, I was a big and tall man, but now I've been transformed into a beautiful girl by Han Feiyan. I reckon even Du Jie would be able to tell how I'm feeling right now...

  After taking a look at me, Han Feiyan nodded and said: "Except for the height which is different from Qiu Li's, it can almost be mistaken for the real thing."

  "How tall is Autumn?" I asked.

  "About 1 meter 65!"

  "My god! I'm a 1.8-meter-tall big guy, you want me to disguise as a 1.65-meter-short girl, do you think anyone will believe I'm Qiu Li when I walk out? Besides, why do you want me to pretend to be her?"

  "Never mind all that," said Feiyan, "just do as I say. Now I'll take you to Qiu Lian's home. When it gets to be around 7 or 8 in the morning, just walk back and forth on the attic of Qiu Lian's house. Remember to keep walking back and forth, and don't close the windows on the attic. Don't pay any attention to whether anyone is watching you from outside or calling out to you - just concentrate on walking back and forth inside. In short, turn a deaf ear to whatever happens outside and focus solely on pacing back and forth."

  "This guy, you can even make this into a poem, you really are talented. But why should I do that?" I asked with a stomach full of doubts.

  "Don't ask why, just do as I say. Also, around 9 am, you need to come out when no one is around and head straight into the mountain valley south of the village. At that time, I will meet you in that valley."

  "What are you singing, which play is this? And what about the real Qiuli? I've been wandering around in someone else's home for a while, won't the real Qiuli show up?" I'm getting more and more confused.

  As I asked this, Han Feiyan suddenly shuddered violently and then said to me: "The real Autumn Beauty was killed by... your brother, so she can't possibly appear in front of you."

  "What?! You're telling me that Autumn was killed by my brother Du Jie?! How is that possible?! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"

  When I heard Han Feiyan say that, I was stunned. I didn't believe Du Jie could kill Qiu Li at all. With Du Jie's courage, even if he wanted to kill a fish, he would have to think about it for half a day before daring to take action. How could he possibly bear to kill a living person? It's completely impossible!

  "I'm not lying to you! Believe me! Your brother, that little brat Du Jie, he really did kill Qiu Li..."
