Guo Jinxuan covered his stomach uncomfortably and closed his eyes, as if doing so would make him no longer hungry.

Suddenly, he smelled a very fragrant smell, an indescribable unique sweet smell.

He couldn't help but open the door and walked out.

Guo Jinxuan saw that Doudou and Lian Jin were roasting a fire. There were a few sweet potatoes on the fire tray. The skin of the sweet potatoes was roasted and gave off a unique burnt aroma.

Doudou and Lian Jin were still holding the roasted sweet potatoes, which were a little burnt and still a little hot, but they didn't care about the heat and just broke them open and started to eat them.

Seeing that Doudou and Lian Jin's hands and faces were dirty, but they were eating with great relish, Guo Jinxuan couldn't help swallowing.

Hearing the sound of swallowing, Doudou and Lian Jin looked up in the direction of Guo Jinxuan.

Seeing that it was Guo Jinxuan, Lian Jin glanced at him with disgust and continued to chew the sweet potato in his hand.

Doudou said to Guo Jinxuan, "Do you want to eat?"

Guo Jinxuan glanced at the sweet potato in Doudou's hand, and couldn't guess what the fruit-like thing in their hands that could be roasted and eaten was.

Although he wanted to eat it very much, he pursed his lips and shook his head when he thought that Doudou was the son of his enemy.

Since he said no, Doudou ignored him and started eating by himself.

Seeing them eating so happily, Guo Jinxuan's already hungry stomach rumbled even more like thunder.

Guo Jinxuan looked embarrassed and turned to leave.

Doudou picked up a roasted sweet potato and threw it to Guo Jinxuan: "Catch it."

Guo Jinxuan hesitated for a moment and reached out to catch it, but he was a little slow and the sweet potato was about to fall to the ground.

He had no choice but to roll over and catch the sweet potato with his hands.

Lian Jin raised his eyebrows, not expecting his movements to be so quick.

"Here, this is yours." Guo Jinxuan took the sweet potato back and gave it to Doudou.

Doudou looked at Guo Jinxuan and said, "You don't know what this is, do you?"

Guo Jinxuan looked embarrassed, but he didn't want Doudou to look down on him, so he said, "Of course I know what this is. This is..." What is it? He really didn't know, but in order to prevent Doudou from seeing his ignorance, he deliberately said loudly, "It's a fruit!"

Doudou laughed. He really didn't know what this was.

Guo Jinxuan looked at Doudou unhappily and said, "What are you laughing at?"

It’s the fruit, is he wrong?

"You are indeed a young master who has never experienced the sufferings of the world. You don't even know that this is a sweet potato." Doudou said.

He had experienced having nothing to eat before, and even the small piece of sweet potato was given to him by Grandma Tian next door.

So he cherishes food very much, knows how to be grateful, and tries his best to be nice to everyone who is nice to him.

"I... of course I know it's a sweet potato, and I also know it grows on trees." Guo Jinxuan said stubbornly.

As long as it's a fruit, doesn't it grow on a tree? Guo Jinxuan felt that this must be the case.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lian Jin sneered.

Doudou broke off a piece of sweet potato and handed it to Guo Jinxuan, saying, "Don't worry, eat it. We've all eaten it before, and it's not poisonous."

Guo Jinxuan didn't say anything, just looked at the sweet potato that Doudou handed over. The orange-yellow flesh exuded a sweet and burnt aroma, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"He doesn't want to eat it, give it to me." Lian Jin stretched out his hand to grab it. The roasted sweet potatoes in the fire tray had been divided up by them, and the one in Doudou's hand was the last one.

Guo Jinxuan did not hesitate because he was really hungry.

He reached out, grabbed the sweet potato from Doudou's hand, and took a big bite.

It's still a little hot, but very sweet and delicious.

It was so delicious that he finished it in no time.

Doudou handed him the remaining half. Guo Jinxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and took it and ate it.

"You have already eaten all your enemy's food. Even if you feel regretful, at least you still have something to fill your stomach.

But you have good food and accommodation in our house, but do you know how your father treats the people of Poyuan City?

They haven't even had a full meal, their wives and children are separated, and they live in hell every day. Your father didn't let them die just so that those men could serve him, they..."

Guo Jinxuan covered his ears and shouted at Doudou: "Enough, no need to say more, I know everything."

As he spoke, his tears flowed down like a broken pearl necklace.

Seeing him crying, Doudou said nothing more and left with Lian Jin.

They went to find Xie Yunjiao and told her what had just happened.

Xie Yunjiao was packing her luggage again because of the sudden change in the weather. When she heard Doudou say that, she stopped packing.

She raised her hand, rubbed Doudou's head and said, "Thank you for helping mother so much."

Doudou stood there obediently and smiled shyly.

"Yunjiao, the Chinese New Year is only two months away. I don't know if you can make it back in time." Old lady Lian walked in, pushed in a wheelchair.

Her face was full of reluctance: "Why don't we wait until the New Year is over before leaving? Otherwise, it will be cold and it will be inconvenient to walk on the road."

"Grandma, don't worry, we have changed our destination this time and will be back soon." Xie Yunjiao said.

That's right, she changed her destination.

They originally wanted to go north, but since they had captured a city, in order to prevent Prince Duan from becoming angry and using the power of Nanyue to attack them, they had to take the initiative and capture Nanyue first.

This way, all their territories could be connected together, allowing them to focus on moving north.

She has already written a letter and sent it to Baiyue. Jing Kai should be able to receive her letter soon.

When the old lady heard this, she smiled happily: "That's good, that's good."

Due to a change in plans, Ruan Qing could not return to his hometown for the time being and could only stay in Hexi Village.

Xie Yunjiao was afraid that they would be bored, so she taught them to play mahjong for entertainment.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Qing and his friends became addicted to the game as soon as they started playing. Although they didn't gamble with money, they would use the food in their hands as bets and have a lot of fun.

Even the old lady was unwilling to return to the city. She used the excuse of recuperating from illness to stay in Hexi Village and play mahjong with Ruan Qing every day.

After spending a few days together, Guo Jinxuan gradually opened up to Doudou and would chat with him.

Through chatting, he learned that although Doudou was more than a year younger than him, he was knowledgeable and talented. He was once a young top scholar and worked in the capital.

These are things he dare not think about!

He couldn't imagine that Doudou was so much better than him despite having a worse environment and conditions than him.

“My father told me not to follow him in martial arts training. He told me to study hard so that I could become a high-ranking official by the master’s side in the future.

But I don’t like studying at all, but I don’t like practicing martial arts either. I like…”

He suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he stopped talking.
