He approached cautiously, avoiding Chen Yongnian and Wu Gousheng.

After a while, he seemed to find a suitable spot, squatting down next to Wan Qiqi, his little head resting against her clothes, as if seeking a sense of security.

Wan Qiqi handed a pancake to the little monkey, "Eat up! It doesn't taste very good, but it'll fill your stomach."

The little monkey stared wide-eyed at Wan Qiqi, took the pancake, and hurriedly stuffed it into its mouth.

An adult would need several large bites to finish a pancake, but he stuffed it into his mouth and finished it in no time!

Wan Qiqi offered a second one, but the little monkey didn't take it; instead, it pushed it into Wan Qiqi's mouth.

"I'm not hungry. You're still growing, so eat more."

The little monkey, whether it understood or not, stared blankly at Wan Qiqi.

Hearing Wan Qiqi say this, Chen Yongnian figured she probably had no appetite, so he reached out and rummaged through the food.

His actions startled the little monkey, who abandoned the cake and immediately retreated back into the corner.

Chen Yongnian looked at Wan Qiqi with a slightly helpless expression. He didn't mean anything by it; he didn't know why the little monkey was so afraid of him.

Seeing Chen Yongnian struggling to search, Wu Gousheng immediately squatted down to help. "Brother-in-law, what are you looking for? Do you want some meat? I saw them grilling meat, so I secretly took some!"

As soon as he unearthed the meat hidden among the food, Wan Qiqi's stomach churned, and she began to gag.

The fire in the water town that day and the fire in the mountain stronghold today ignited a shadow in Wan Qiqi's heart, making her feel nauseous at the smell of meat.

Chen Yongnian also realized the problem and quickly stood in front of Wan Qiqi, trying to block the food from getting too hot. He said coldly, "Take it away, take it away now!"

Wu Gousheng was scolded and appeared slightly flustered.

He didn't understand why Wan Qiqi felt nauseous at the food, but dared not say anything, and hurriedly ran out of the tent with the food in her hands.

Chen Yongnian held Wan Qiqi in his arms, gently patted her shoulder, and said softly, "It's okay, we won't eat these."

Wan Qiqi didn't want things to turn out this way, but what happened today seemed to have shattered her worldview.

She seemed to finally realize that this was no longer the peaceful era, and the law was no longer the law she knew.

Chen Yongnian could feel the person in his arms trembling, so he hugged them tighter, wanting to give them comfort, but also afraid of touching their wounds.

"My wife, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
