The First Military God of the Border

Why did Lin Hui not eat but instead go out?

Why did he let Zhang Laoqi go?

It wasn't because Lin Hui was kind-hearted, but because dealing with these matters required the right timing.

Tonight, Zhang Laoqi, with his broken leg and arm, will be Lin Hui's chance to escape.

It gets dark very quickly in winter.

Before long, night completely enveloped the entire Sigou Village, and the time had come.

At this moment, Zhang Laoqi was holding a wooden stick and dragging his crippled body along the official road. He walked very slowly, and every step forward required him to endure great pain.

Now he is like a stray dog, with nowhere to go in Sigou Village.

Therefore, he wanted to go to Anjia shack, recuperate at Young Master An's place, and then take revenge when the opportunity arose.

"Lin Hui, you just wait. Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."

"You think you've got a powerful backer and can act with impunity? Just you wait, Young Master An won't let you get away with this. I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons out."

As Zhang Laoqi walked forward, he muttered curses under his breath.

But just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Who is it?"

The shadowy figure didn't speak, but just smiled faintly and slowly approached Zhang Laoqi.

Only then did Zhang Laoqi realize that the person who came was none other than Lin Hui.

"Lin Hui? What...what are you going to do?"

Zhang Laoqi was so frightened that he sat down heavily on the snow. His previous arrogance vanished completely, and he stammered, "Lin Hui, you... how did you get here... I've already left Sigou Village, are you still not going to let me go?"

Lin Hui slowly squatted down, looked at Zhang Laoqi's disheveled appearance, and chuckled.

"Although I let you go in front of everyone this afternoon, I don't want to let you go now."

"Keeping you around will ultimately be a hidden danger."

Lin Hui drew the dagger from his waist; its cold gleam was particularly dazzling on the snow.

"You...you're here to silence me?"

At this point, Zhang Laoqi had lost all will to live, and his eyes were filled with terror.

Lin Hui didn't waste any more words. Instead, he raised his knife and brought it down. As a line of blood shot out, Zhang Laoqi fell to the ground in the snow.

Lin Hui wiped the blood off the dagger onto Zhang Laoqi's clothes and muttered to himself.

"It's none of my business who you mess with, but if you mess with my wife, then you're as good as dead."

"Besides, if you were alive, I would be constantly worried that you would come back for revenge."

"So, I have no choice but to send you to your death."

"Don't be a bad person in your next life."

Lin Hui threw Zhang Laoqi's body off a cliff beside the official road, as if Zhang Laoqi had never existed.

When Lin Hui returned home, Shui Feiyuan was still awake and sitting by the fire waiting for him.

The pot contained steaming rice porridge cooked by the water kite.

Looking at his wife who was still waiting for him, Lin Hui felt a warmth in his heart.

With a virtuous wife at home, what more could a husband ask for?

After sitting down, Lin Hui drank the hot tea that Shui Feiyuan handed him.

"Feiyuan, it's so late, why don't you get some rest?"

Shui Feiyuan looked at Lin Hui and said, "You're back so late. I know you must have been doing something dangerous."

"Husband, we have enough to eat and drink now, so please don't leave me alone at home late at night anymore, okay?"

"It's okay if life is tough, but if something happens to you, how will I survive?"

Lin Hui chuckled. This wife of his is truly a treasure.

Lin Hui said to Shui Feiyuan in a very gentle tone, "Don't worry, my wife. Unless it's something important, I will definitely stay home with you every night."

After finishing his meal, Lin Hui immediately became restless, reaching out and grabbing Shui Feiyuan, then taking her to bed.

Lin Hui had been chatting with Wang Ping about dirty jokes all the way back in the afternoon, and he was thinking of washing up and having his wife take good care of him.

But it's so late now, so I'll just ignore it.

A woman like my wife is a rare gem, even without all those messy tricks.

Soon, the howling of the cold wind outside was drowned out by the warm, soft sounds of lovemaking inside the house.

"Husband, how are you so amazing?"

"What's so great about me?"

"That's amazing! I feel like I'm on top of the world."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"My wife, shall we continue?"

Water Kite nodded shyly.

Next, the two completely let loose and became even more unrestrained. If anyone outside were listening, they would definitely be amazed, because the sounds coming from inside the house were the envy of everyone.

It's absolutely intoxicating.

After countless attempts, Lin Hui finally let out a long sigh of relief and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, Water Flying Kite had already prepared food and hot water for washing.

After finishing his meal, Lin Hui tidied up the house and made arrow shafts himself. As for Shui Feiyuan, he was busy cooking and mending.

Ever since Lin Hui handed the sewing kit to Shui Feiyuan, the girl acted as if she had discovered a new continent, washing and re-cutting all the tattered clothes in the house.

In the evenings, the two indulged in pleasure. Life was simple but happy. Through her time with Lin Hui, Shui Feiyuan gradually realized Lin Hui's true nature.

Inner peace.

…………

After Zhao Hong proposed the plan to Yang Yun to kill Lin Hui and use Lin Hui's head to report back to the general, he laid an ambush outside Sigou Village.

However, after waiting on the hillside outside Sigou Village for two days, Lin Hui still did not leave the village.

He was shivering from the cold, but dared not light a fire, for fear that the light would reveal his whereabouts.

According to his original plan, after Lin Hui sold the game in the city and tasted the sweetness of success, he would definitely be eager to go hunting in the mountains the next day.

But now it seems he miscalculated.

"Captain, why don't we wait until dark and go straight into the village? We'll be masked, so no one will know it's us."

A border soldier next to Zhao Hong, his teeth chattering from the cold, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Captain, if we sneak in at night, we'll freeze to death before Lin Hui even arrives."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Hong slapped him on the back of the head.

"Are you stupid?"

Zhao Hong spoke in a very low voice: "Think about it, if we went into a village and killed someone, what kind of situation would that be?"

"If we get discovered, who can save us?"

The man dared not speak again, remaining silent and continuing to lie in ambush.

Zhao Hong cursed under his breath and looked toward Sigou Village.

But visibility was poor in the snow, and he couldn't see anything at all, only a vast expanse of white in the distance.

Zhao Hong felt aggrieved, even though he knew Lin Hui was in the village, happily warming himself by the fireplace and making love with his wife.

But what about him? He was a platoon leader in the border army, in charge of six or seven men, but now he could only eat snow in the freezing cold.

Damn it.

The wind picked up, blowing gusts down his neck, and Zhao Hong instinctively wrapped his clothes tighter around himself.

A soldier pulled out a few flatbreads from his pocket. The flatbreads were already frozen solid, no different from gnawing on a cold iron disc. Taking a bite made his teeth ache.

"Don't be discouraged, I don't believe Lin Hui won't come out."

"The next time he comes into the mountains, that's when we brothers will kill him there."

"Once we get the reward money, we can go to the brothel and have some fun."
