The First Military God of the Border

We arrived at the cave where wild boar meat was stored.

Lin Hui quickly prepared the remaining meat.

The meat is frozen solid, making it easier to pack than it was yesterday.

Yesterday he only took back a small portion of the wild boar; the majority of it is still hidden here.

All told, we now have a deer and a wild boar to feed us, so the food problem is solved.

His plan was to take the wild boar back, and then take the venison into the city to sell for money the next day. Although there was plenty of wild boar meat, it was not as valuable as venison, so he kept it all as food.

Venison is a rare commodity even in the city, and it should fetch a good price.

The wild boar meat was kept, but the tusks had great collectible value and could be exchanged for silver. In the eyes of knowledgeable collectors in the city, the tusks were as valuable as antiques.

Although the problem of food has been temporarily solved, there are still many things that the family lacks, such as bedding and clothes.

To live a good life, you can't lack anything.

Lin Hui went to the city to sell meat to earn money, his purpose being to buy daily necessities for his shift.

He could have taken the silver when he was in the bandit's hall, but he chose to ignore it.

The main reason is that he cannot give the bandits the image of being greedy. Once he takes something, his value in the eyes of the bandits will be greatly reduced.

Because bandits gathered in the mountains and forests, they valued loyalty and righteousness even more.

As before, they tied the wild boar meat with rattan, carried it on their backs, and quickly descended the mountain following the same path they had taken before.

It's about five kilometers from here to Sigou Village, a journey that takes about an hour. However, because we came down from Cangying Ridge early, it wasn't dark when we got home.

When Lin Hui got home, he asked, "Feiyuan, did you eat after I left today?"

"I've eaten, my husband. Don't worry, I won't go hungry."

Lin Hui chuckled: "You tricked me again."

"My husband..."

The water kite let out a coquettish cry.

"You don't eat well, you'll get thin and starving, who will your husband enjoy himself with? No, I need to find a way to punish you."

Lin Hui pretended to be deep in thought, then pointed to his profile, indicating that Shui Feiyuan should kiss him.

Shui Feiyuan awkwardly leaned forward, and Lin Hui caught a glimpse of her snow-white skin.

After kissing Lin Hui, she remained motionless, waiting for Lin Hui to decide what to do with her.

Lin Hui slowly moved behind Shui Feiyuan and slapped her tender buttocks hard.

"This is your punishment for not listening to your husband and not eating properly."

"One slap is a warning; if you do it again, you'll get another slap."

*Smack*

Another crisp sound rang out.

Shui Feiyuan felt her body was out of control, her waist and knees went weak, and she almost lost her balance.

"This is punishment for your two-faced behavior towards your husband, for not taking his words seriously."

Then came the third strike, and the water kite couldn't help but make a sound.

"Ah..." A long, soft moan.

"My husband, I..."

Shui Feiyuan blushed and called out to her husband shyly.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she didn't feel any pain, but instead felt a slight pleasure, which made her legs tighten involuntarily.

She clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and waited for her husband to continue.

Before I knew it, my face had turned red all the way to the roots of my neck.

She suddenly hugged Lin Hui and said tenderly, "Husband, please, let's go to sleep now, okay?"

Liu Feng looked bewildered; after all, she was a woman from ancient times.

This level of awareness is simply beyond words.

Even if I need to get things done, I should wait until after I finish eating, since I'm still hungry.

Lin Hui ran his finger along Shui Feiyuan's nose: "You little brat, eat your fill before you go to sleep, okay?"

Water Kite's face turned even redder.

Next, Shuifeiyuan cooked in the house, and dinner was still wild boar meat.

As for Lin Hui, he was in charge of butchering the wild boar meat and hanging the pieces of meat on the beams of the thatched hut to dry slowly in the cold wind.

Lin Hui hadn't finished cooking when the food was already ready.

After eating, Water Kite wanted to help Lin Hui with the cooking:

"Husband, let me help. Let's cut the meat together."

Lin Hui looked at Shui Feiyuan with a mischievous grin: "Why are you cutting meat? Your husband wants to eat your meat right now..."

Before Shui Feiyuan could react, Lin Hui had already started talking. Of course, his hands weren't idle either; he carried Shui Feiyuan straight to the small bed.

Forget everything else, let's get down to business first.

With such a beautiful wife by my side, everything else is trivial except for exercising with her.

If even my wife can't understand it, how can I understand anything else?

What should we do today?

Although I've had several enjoyable nights, there are still a few moves and techniques involved.

Lin Hui was conflicted.

"Feiyuan, how about your husband teaches you a few new tricks today?"

"What...what new trick...?"

Shui Feiyuan nestled shyly in Lin Hui's arms and asked.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go wash up..."

"My husband, I want to wash too."

Next, they used a pot of hot water to wash themselves clean.

Lin Hui, like a big bad wolf coaxing a sheep, finally opened up a new world for himself.

Lin Hui has finally seen it all.

Although it was his first time, he was still a bit clumsy with water kites, but he couldn't resist the feeling of it. Even someone as strong as Lin Hui almost spilled it on the spot.

The phrase "dying in bed" might describe this very moment. I don't know how many times this has happened, from the moment the sky just darkened until late at night, until the water kite was completely exhausted.

Lin Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next day, the water kite had already prepared a meal and hot water for washing.

After finishing their meal, Lin Hui instructed Shui Feiyuan to hang the wild boar meat to dry, while he set off carrying the venison.

The county seat is about 20 li south of Sigou Village, and it takes several hours to walk there.

With each trip back and forth, he didn't spend much time in the county town.

Therefore, Lin Hui decisively chose to take a detour, abandoning the smooth official road.

The original owner of this mountain road had walked this way in Lin Hui's memory. It was extremely treacherous, but the distance was half as short. Moreover, this was Lin Hui's first time in the city, so he was particularly excited and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

About half an hour later, Lin Hui saw the city wall in the distance, indicating that the county town was not far away.

As Lin Hui continued toward the county town, he suddenly noticed something unusual: the surroundings were unusually quiet, except that all the birds in one direction had taken flight in fright.

A faint smell of blood still lingered in the air.

Lin Hui was incredibly perceptive; he immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly ran behind a boulder to hide.

Pushing aside the dry grass in front of them to look towards the source, they indeed discovered something unusual: a murder was unfolding on the mountain road in the distance.

A dozen or so bandits armed with various weapons were surrounding two carriages. The guards of the carriages fought desperately, but to no avail. Several of them fell down in Lin Hui's eyes, and soon all the guards were killed.

Only a middle-aged man with a full beard remained, desperately protecting the carriage with a steel knife in hand.

This man was skilled in martial arts; his swordsmanship was very disciplined, with sweeping and powerful strokes, reminiscent of a border soldier.

Even though he was highly skilled in martial arts, a tiger can't fight off a pack of wolves. Before long, he had several wounds on his body and had to lean against the carriage for support.

Lin Hui frowned deeply.

According to Fan Wujiu, they were bandits, but not ruthless killers. They generally only sought wealth and would not kill.

This was also the consensus among all the bandits.

But what's wrong with this gang of bandits? They came up here with the intention of killing, which is nothing like a typical robbery.

However, Lin Hui didn't have the habit of meddling in other people's business, so he watched for a while and then prepared to leave.

But fate had other plans. Just as he was about to slip away, his movements were a little too large, startling a flock of sparrows that were foraging for food in the snow.

Lin Hui was speechless. What terrible luck!

When a flock of sparrows takes flight, even a fool would know something's wrong.

Sure enough, Lin Hui looked down and saw the bandit leader pointing at two of his underlings and saying, "You two, go see what's going on. If anyone dares to cause trouble, kill them..."
