The First Military God of the Border

Lin Hui is a former special forces soldier, and camouflage is a tactic he often uses in jungle warfare.

Chu Yan had no idea about these escape routes.

What he saw of Lin Hui was nothing more than clothes that Lin Hui had propped up with tree branches.

The real Lin Hui has long since disappeared, hiding somewhere.

Chu Yanlai reacted quickly and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Lin Hui had set up the trap, waiting for this very moment.

He had just turned around when an arrow, as if it had eyes, pierced his heart.

Chu Yanlai looked at the arrow stuck in his heart and felt the blood slowly flowing out. He felt weak all over and knelt down uncontrollably.

Blood stained the snow.

Lin Hui slowly appeared in front of Chu Yanlai. At this moment, he was only wearing a thin inner garment in the snow and ice. The garment was torn in many places by thorns and stained with faint blood.

"How insidious of you to use your own clothes as bait."

Chu Yan stared at Lin Hui and forced out a sentence.

Lin Hui nodded, staring at Chu Yanlai. Chu Yanlai looked at Lin Hui with a very unwilling gaze. At the moment of his death, he suddenly felt relieved.

"You're good...good..."

"It will be good for Ziyi to be with you. Protect her well. She is... she is..."

Then Chu Yan looked up at the dark sky and slowly lowered her head.

"Explain yourself, who is she?"

But Chu Yanlai was already dead, and he couldn't get anything out of her.

Lin Hui frowned. Could it be that Ling Ziyi had some other hidden secret?

However, he had no time to dwell on that now. He hurriedly dressed and returned to the cave to check on Ling Ziyi's condition.

Back in the cave, Ling Ziyi remained motionless in the same position as when Lin Hui left.

Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly squatted down to check Ling Ziyi's breath with his fingers.

"That scared me to death."

Although she was still alive, her condition was extremely poor, and she was just one step away from death.

The person was in a deep coma, completely unconscious, with only faint breathing remaining.

"The girl in purple... the girl in purple..."

I called out for a long time, but there was no response.

Lin Hui looked at the wound and saw that the arrowhead was still inside the body, and the flesh around the wound was turned inside out, emitting a black luster.

Clearly, the arrows Chu Yanlai used had been soaked in sewage, otherwise they wouldn't have become infected so quickly.

Lin Hui dared not delay; without treatment, the person would definitely not survive.

But where can I go now? Besides Sigou Village and my own home, there's nowhere else to go.

She carried Ling Ziyi on her back and headed towards Sigou Village under the faint moonlight. All was quiet, so quiet it was chilling.

Lin Hui moved quickly and entered the village in no time. The village was quiet. He walked to the outside of his own yard and pushed open the old wooden door.

Inside the room, the lights were still on, and Shui Feiyuan was still waiting for him.

The commotion in the courtyard quickly alerted Shui Feiyuan. The door opened, and Shui Feiyuan ran towards Lin Hui: "Husband, you're back! Are you hurt?"

But when he got to Lin Hui's side, he found that Lin Hui was covered in blood, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

"My lord, you're injured. How badly?"

Lin Hui felt a warmth in his heart at the sight of that worried look in her eyes.

Lin Hui shook his head and said, "Go quickly and prepare hot water."

Lin Hui carried the seriously injured and unconscious Ling Ziyi into the house. Only then did Shui Feiyuan realize that Lin Hui was carrying a seriously injured woman on his back.

There was no time to ask what had happened; they hurriedly started boiling water as Lin Hui had instructed.

Lin Hui put the water kite in place.

"Feiyuan, give me the scissors."

Lin Hui cut open Ling Ziyi's clothes. The arrow wound was in a very tricky spot. Although it was in her shoulder, it was very close to her heart. If Ling Ziyi had been an inch off when she lunged at him, she would have died on the spot.

Now, all Lin Hui can do is pull out the arrow and clean the infected skin and flesh of the wound.

Whether she can wake up or not depends on Ling Ziyi's own fate.

"Feiyuan, let the fire start first. Quickly find a clean old piece of clothing and tear it into strips."

Although Shui Feiyuan didn't understand, she did as instructed.

Before long, the hot water was ready. Shui Feiyuan looked at Ling Ziyi's exposed wound and turned pale with fright.

"My husband...can she...can she survive?"

She put the water down, stood aside watching, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Lin Hui took a deep breath. He had learned a lot of first aid knowledge in his previous life, so he had no problem treating basic gunshot wounds. He was confident that he could handle arrow wounds.

However, he couldn't do anything about the infection, so Ling Ziyi had to bear it on her own.

"Wife, hold her down for me, hold her tight, don't let her move."

Shui Feiyuan nodded, sat on the bed and held Ling Ziyi down. Then Lin Hui took a cotton towel and carefully cleaned the wound with hot water.

Then, Lin Hui pulled the arrow out directly.

As the arrow was pulled out, blood gushed out. At first, the blood had a blackish sheen. Lin Hui did not rush to stop the bleeding. Instead, he pressed around the wound to remove the stagnant blood.

Although Ling Ziyi was in a coma, the intense pain caused her to struggle as the arrow was pulled out.

Shui Feiyuan used all her strength to press down on Ling Ziyi. Lin Hui saw that the blood stasis had been mostly drained, so he hurriedly pressed the prepared strips of cloth onto the wound, layer after layer, until the bleeding finally stopped.

This relieved Lin Hui. After removing the bandage to stop the bleeding, she checked the wound again and found it had become clean.

However, the everted skin and flesh were still extremely frightening.

Next, Lin Hui sterilized the dagger over the fire, and then used both hands to cut away the rotten flesh around the arrow wound.

Next came stopping the bleeding. When the bleeding stopped again, the wound had regained the color of the skin.

Lin Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the arrow hadn't penetrated too deep and hadn't damaged any bones or tendons. He then began to bandage Ling Ziyi with strips of cloth.

Shui Feiyuan was always helping out, doing whatever Lin Hui asked her to do, and she didn't finish tidying up until dawn.

Lin Hui glanced at Ling Ziyi, who was unconscious on the bed, and then at Shui Feiyuan, who hadn't slept all night. He decided to tell Shui Feiyuan the truth.

"Feiyuan, she is Ling Ziyi, the third leader of Cangying Ridge."

Shui Feiyuan was immediately stunned. She considered many possibilities and thought that it might be someone her husband had rescued on the way. She never thought it could be a bandit.

"My lord, she is...she is...a bandit?"

Seeing Shui Feiyuan's surprised expression, Lin Hui nodded.

Shui Feiyuan asked in a surprised tone, "Husband, how... how come you're with bandits?"

Lin Hui explained, "An Shicai harassed our family twice. I was afraid he would hurt you while I was away, so I contacted the bandits. Tonight was the agreed time, and we went to An's shack together."

"I have already killed An Shicai."

Upon hearing this, the water kite was even more surprised.

Lin Hui continued to explain, "Originally, everything would have been fine once the An family was dealt with, but unexpectedly, the second-in-command of Cangying Ridge turned against us halfway through, which attracted the border troops."

"She shielded me from a fatal arrow when we fought our way out of the encirclement."

"So I couldn't just leave her behind, so I brought her back."

At this point, Lin Hui's expression suddenly turned serious: "Feiyuan, harboring bandits is a serious crime. If people find out, the government will not let us off the hook."

"So, the kite..."

Before Lin Hui could finish speaking, Shui Feiyuan interrupted, "Husband, you've done all this for me. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll face it with you. Even if it means execution, I'll go to the execution ground with you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui could no longer contain himself and hugged the water kite tightly in his arms.

"Feiyuan, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."
