Chapter 69: The Inescapable Fog

"Is the gentleman looking to buy some pancakes? Lucky for you, these are freshly ground wheat flour pancakes my old lady made this morning, fragrant and sprinkled with sesame seeds and sugar..."

"Yes, Uncle General, my grandma's pancakes are delicious..." A little girl about six or seven years old was helping the old man promote his wares, looking lively and adorable.

But upon seeing the approaching girl, Li Danian's face twisted with horror, and he hastily backed away with his horse.

The horse, sensing its master's panic, also raised its hooves in alert, warning the little one not to come any closer.

Startled by the horse, the girl let out a sharp scream and fell backward. The old man rushed forward to pick up his granddaughter, shouting angrily, "What's wrong with you, soldier? If you're not buying, don't scare my granddaughter like that!"
