He Qiang stared at the somewhat plump woman in front of him, stunned.

Although time has changed her figure, he will never forget her face.

He remembered that summer when he ran in the sunset; those were his fleeting years.

Ah Zhen also looked at He Qiang with tears in her eyes. Over the years, she had accumulated too many words in her heart, wanting to tell this man in front of her. She could open her mouth, but no sound came out.

The two of them gazed at each other tenderly.

"Hiss~, it seems that Lao He is a man with a story."

Li Chang'an squatted by the roadside, holding a handful of sunflower seeds, sizing up the adulterous couple.

"Your Highness, could I have some too?"

Zhang Xianzong reached out his hand. Having spent so much time with Li Chang'an, he had picked up all sorts of bad habits himself.

You have to yell twice to get up, you have to eat melon seeds while watching a play, you have to wave a fan while reciting poems, and you have to shake your head twice after peeing, and then say "Oh~".

"Here you go, here you go."

Li Chang'an pulled a handful of melon seeds from his backpack and handed them to Zhang Xianzong. Turning his head, he saw a row of soldiers staring at him with burning eyes.

"Give them all to me."

With a wave of his hand, a large pile of sunflower seeds rained down from the sky. Each soldier grabbed a handful and began to watch the show intently.

The little fool looked at the pile of sunflower seeds, moved his feet lightly and stealthily, and secretly walked to the sunflower seeds under the noses of all the soldiers. Then he scooped up a handful and prepared to take it to his aunt.

Li Chang'an stared at her, somewhat dumbfounded.

No, that's going too far! You stole my things right in front of me.

He grabbed the little fool and said, "Do you even know how to eat? You're just stealing sunflower seeds."

The little fool wasn't afraid even when he was caught; he grinned and said, "I can."

As she spoke, she put the sunflower seeds into her mouth and chewed them like beans.

Li Chang'an looked at her and patted her forehead: "That's not how you eat it, you silly child."

"Come on, I'll teach you."

"This is called a melon seed. The outer layer is the shell, and the inner part is the kernel, which is the edible part. You have to spit out the outer part."

Li Chang'an held the little fool and earnestly taught her how to eat sunflower seeds.

The little fool had never seen this thing before. He was a bit clumsy and looked like Lin Doudou.

However, the little fool is much more patient than Lin Doudou. The little girl has a bad temper. If she can't crack the sunflower seeds, she will yell and then throw the seeds hard on the ground.

Every time Lin Youchu saw them, she would feel sorry for the sunflower seeds. She would pick them up, blow off the dust, and put them into Lin Doudou and Miao Qingqing's bowls.

Thinking of the lively family members, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

The other soldiers laughed heartily at the sight.

The reason they were willing to risk their lives for Li Chang'an, besides the good treatment, was because this prince suited their tastes very well.

He never looked down on ordinary people; on the contrary, he would happily chat with them about everyday matters.

On the contrary, the prince only becomes sharp and assertive when facing those with power and influence.

It has both the heart of a Bodhisattva and the wrath of a Vajra.

"Would you like some?"

Li Chang'an looked at the group of bandits, who kept glancing in their direction, and asked a question.

The other bandits looked at each other after hearing this.

Their brains went blank the moment Ah Xing fired the Cloud Piercing Arrow.

These people never expected that there would be a martial arts master in their own village.

They watched their chieftain raving about, while also eyeing the soldiers squatting on the ground eating sunflower seeds.

When they saw the little fool stealing sunflower seeds right in front of others, their hearts skipped a beat.

They only relaxed when they saw the prince holding the little fool and teaching her to eat melon seeds.

The man in front of me doesn't seem like a bad person.

That's why they hesitated when Li Chang'an invited them to eat melon seeds together.

Ah Xing was the bravest. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you afraid of? Our chieftain seems to know these people. They might even have some kind of relationship."

As he spoke, he walked over shakily, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and squatted down.

Seeing this, the others followed.

"What's your name?" Li Chang'an asked, while eating the sunflower seeds that the little fool had peeled, looking at Ah Xing who was squatting next to him.

"Tang Xingxing, everyone calls me A-Xing."

“Li Chang’an, people in the underworld call me Bloodhand Butcher, you can just call me Brother Chang’an.”

"Hello, Brother Chang'an."

"Hmm, not bad, young man, you're getting the hang of it."

Li Chang'an patted A Xing on the shoulder, then lowered his head to continue enjoying the sunflower seeds.

After waiting for a long time without seeing him, I looked down and saw the little fool eating sunflower seed shells in his hand.

"This can't be eaten, it should be thrown away."

The little fool shook his head: "This is delicious."

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an was stunned for a moment, then looked around and discovered that the bandits basically swallowed the food whole, skin and all.

"How long has it been since you last ate?"

Li Chang'an looked at these people and asked Ah Xing a question.

"Food? It's been a long time."

Ah Xing scratched his head; he couldn't remember the last time he had eaten.

"When I'm farming at home, I usually drink some wild vegetable soup and eat some thin porridge."

"Food is only served during festivals, or when there are weddings or funerals in the village."

"After arriving at the village, we basically didn't eat. There were many people in the village, and we often went hungry."

"Many times, when the weather is not good, not much grain can be grown in the fields, so the village chief has to bring some grain from outside."

"If it weren't for the chieftain, we would have starved to death long ago."

"Weren't you from the village before?" Li Chang'an asked, looking at him.

Ah Xing sighed: "I originally lived on the outskirts of Suzhou, with a house and fields, and my life was very happy."

"Who knew that the Hua family had a tyrant named Hua Quan? He was ruthless and cruel, colluding with the government and acting with impunity. He seized my house and land. My grandfather confronted him and was brutally beaten to death with a stick. The dog we kept at home was dragged into the Hua family mansion and defiled a hundred times over."

He also drove my father and me out of our home and left us to wander by the river. To support my father in his old age, I had no choice but to beg alone in front of the temple.

"Who knew that the Hua family was so treacherous? Knowing this situation, they actually sent people to ambush us, and beat my father and me to a pulp in front of the market. I am strong and healthy, so I survived, but my poor father died! This hatred is even harder to bear."

"In order to survive, I had no choice but to go to Mount Lüliang and learn martial arts diligently, just to avenge my grudge, reclaim my land, and destroy the Hua family in this world!"
