The First Military God of the Border

"My lord, is it possible for her to wake up like this?"

Lin Hui shook his head: "It's hard to say. This is all I can do. Whether she can pull through depends on herself."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Shui Feiyuan's face.

In her heart, no matter who the other person was, it was always better for them to be alive than dead.

"My wife, you should rest for a while."

As he spoke, Lin Hui walked toward the pot. He was starving. He had eaten yesterday afternoon's meal, and after a night of intense exertion, he was starving.

Seeing Lin Hui searching everywhere, Shui Feiyuan asked, "Husband, what are you looking for?"

"It's alright, my wife. You rest, I'll go find something to eat."

Shui Feiyuan smiled and said, "Husband, wait for me, I'll go and get ready for you."

"I knew you'd be back and want to eat. I've already prepared it. I'll go heat it up for you."

Soon, the water kite brought out the steaming hot food: a plate of stir-fried wild boar meat, a plate of stir-fried wild boar liver, and a large bowl of white rice.

Lin Huimei ate and drank her fill.

Perhaps due to the intense fighting and nervous tension of the night, Lin Hui felt very tired after eating.

Seeing Lin Hui stretching and yawning, Shui Feiyuan said considerately, "Husband, you should go to sleep for a while."

"I'll go make your bed."

Shui Feiyuan looked at Ling Ziyi on the bed and was at a loss. Her husband was tired, but where should he sleep?

Lin Hui noticed Shui Feiyuan's helplessness and chuckled, patting her head. "Wait for me, I'll go get us a bed."

"Ah, my husband, you should rest well. I'm not tired."

Lin Hui chuckled mischievously, "Wife, how can that be? Your husband is tired, so he needs your help even more."

"Wait here, didn't you say our bed is too hard? I'll go get a really bouncy little bed, and we can have a good time together." Shui Feiyuan rolled her eyes at Lin Hui: "Husband, there are other people in the house, how can we do that kind of thing?"

Lin Hui laughed and gave Shui Feiyuan a look that said, "You'll have to figure it out yourself," before going outside to bring in a few planks of wood.

These wooden planks were made by the village carpenter a few days ago when Lin Hui wasn't hunting in the mountains; he planned to use them to make a bathtub.

A short while later, Lin Hui set up the bed board, and then Shui Feiyuan reluctantly took out the spare bedding and laid it out.

Lin Hui sat down and wiggled a couple of times, then chuckled, "Come on, wife, let's sleep together."

Shui Feiyuan glanced at Ling Ziyi on the bed, blushed, and shook her head.

"What are you afraid of? She's unconscious and doesn't know anything."

Seeing that Shui Feiyuan was still hesitating, Lin Hui simply hugged her and kissed her.

Lin Hui was already very tired, but the bed was shaking so much that it made the whole thing last longer.

By the time I was ready to go to sleep, there wasn't much time left before dawn.

Lin Hui and Shui Feiyuan both slept very soundly.

Lin Hui was finally awakened by a series of knocks on the door.

I got up and listened carefully, and sure enough, someone was knocking on the door.

The commotion was so loud that it woke up Shui Feiyuan, who was fast asleep: "Husband, who is it? Knocking on the door so early in the morning, don't they want people to get any sleep?"

Lin Hui gestured for Shui Feiyuan to be quiet.

Although Lin Hui brought Ling Ziyi back for treatment, he was very worried.

This concern mainly stems from two directions. On the one hand, there is the worry that Fan Wujiu and his group are foolish enough to brazenly come over and be seen by the villagers.

If you do this and are discovered and reported by concerned villagers, you will never be able to clear your name of colluding with bandits. The government doesn't care whether you are a thief or a Robin Hood-like bandit.

Another concern Lin Hui had was that the border troops had seen his face yesterday, and if that were true, it would cause even more trouble.

Lin Hui cautiously approached the door, pondering whether or not to open it.

Just as Lin Hui was struggling with his decision, the voice of Widow Qiang rang out from outside.

"Lin Hui, open the door quickly!"

Upon hearing that it was Widow Qiang's voice, Lin Hui immediately breathed a sigh of relief and then opened the door open in a generous manner.

"Sister Qiang, is something the matter?"

Lin Hui opened the door and stepped out, not giving the widow Qiang a chance to see what was going on inside.

Looking at Lin Hui's sleepy face, Widow Qiang said, "How long did you work last night? What time is it? Get up!"

Lin Hui smiled awkwardly: "Sister Qiang, no, no, I was cleaning the house last night. The thatched hut was drafty, so I fixed it up, which is why I went to bed late."

"real?"

"Did you stay up too late doing something else?"

The widow Qiang smiled knowingly: "Youth is wonderful. Your wife is living the good life. If you continue like this, can her delicate body handle it?"

Then she gave Lin Hui a flirtatious wink and leaned closer, saying, "If you don't have enough wives at home, you can go to my house. I'm really good at this."

Lin Hui laughed, neither refusing nor agreeing, but instead asked, "Sister Qiang, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Oh dear, look at my brain! What was I thinking about? I forgot something so important."

"That's right. I heard something big happened at Anjiawopeng. The border troops came and ordered everyone to go to the threshing ground, saying they have something important to say."

Lin Hui's heart tightened. He hadn't expected the border troops to arrive in the village so quickly.

"What could possibly happen in a shack like this?"

Widow Qiang shook her head: "How would I know? When the border troops entered the village, they brandished their knives and acted all high and mighty. Who would dare not go? The village chief sent people to notify everyone in the village, and that's why I came to call you."

After thinking it over, Lin Hui realized that since the border troops had arrived, he couldn't refuse to go. If he didn't go, he would inevitably be suspected. He could only go and then act according to the situation.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Hui said, "Sister Qiang, you go first, I'll be right there."

Widow Qiang nodded and then urged, "You'd better hurry. You know what kind of people those border soldiers are. If they find out someone is missing, they might really start killing us."

After saying that, she wiggled her round, chubby bottom and set off.

Lin Hui returned to the house, put on his clothes, and instructed Shui Feiyuan, "I'm going out. Border troops are coming. Stay home and keep the door closed. Block it from the inside with wood. No one can enter our house until I return."

Shui Feiyuan sensed Lin Hui's anxiety and looked at him with reluctance, fearing that something might happen to him.

Lin Hui, holding Shui Feiyuan's hand, said with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Wait for me at home."

Then Lin Hui walked towards the threshing ground at the entrance of the village.

It didn't snow today, but it was very cold, a dry cold. The wind felt like knives cutting your face.

Lin Hui walked at a leisurely pace. When he arrived, quite a few people had already come, but some had not yet arrived. He timed it perfectly so that he could remain in the crowd and not easily attract the attention of the border troops.

The villagers around him were whispering among themselves.

Lin Hui couldn't hear what was being said.

"Yang Yun?"

Lin Hui looked up and saw the border soldiers at the front, whose leader happened to be the captain who had clashed with Lin Hui.

A few days ago, Lin Hui went up the mountain and encountered an ambush by the border troops, but Lin Hui killed the border troops in retaliation.

I wonder if this captain knew about his men's attempt to kill him.

If Yang Yun knew about this, then this feud would be over.

As Lin Hui pondered his next move, Yang Yun, who was at the front, also noticed him.

He gave Lin Hui a meaningful smile.
