The First Military God of the Border

Soon, the wild boar was devoured by the villagers.

The courtyard returned to quiet after the villagers had all left.

Before long, the aroma of food filled the house.

The three of them sat around a small table and ate dinner.

Tonight's dinner table features a whole roasted lamb leg, which serves as the main dish, along with a bowl of millet porridge for each person.

The lamb leg was roasted by Lin Hui.

Although there weren't as many seasonings available in this era, Lin Hui's meticulous roasting resulted in a lamb leg that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an irresistible aroma when a piece was cut off.

It was so delicious that it made people's appetites so great that even Ling Ziyi, who didn't have much of an appetite, ate until her belly was round.

"Husband, why are you so generous today, giving away the whole piglet?"

While eating, Shui Feiyuan asked a question.

"I brought him here on purpose."

Lin Hui chuckled and explained to the two, "It's not good for the girl in purple to stay hidden in our house all this time. Today, I'm telling everyone that she's a refugee who was kidnapped by the Northern Barbarians and escaped. That way, she'll have a proper identity in our family, and we won't have to worry about anything else in the future."

"Besides, even if we eat that little wild boar, it won't last us long."

"But giving it to them would have a different meaning."

"As the saying goes, 'He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding.' They'll have to think twice before they speak in the future, and the girl in purple will be safer."

Shui Feiyuan nodded: "Husband, I understand. You are so clever."

"Purple Robe, eat more. Meat is very nutritious. Eating more will help you recover from your injuries."

Ling Ziyi nodded and accepted the venison from Lin Hui.

She remained silent the entire time.

Lin Hui knew Ling Ziyi's concerns and said with a smile, "You don't need to take those villagers' words to heart. They just like to watch the show and make things worse."

"Although Widow Qiang is a carefree person, she's not a bad person at heart, so don't worry."

Shui Feiyuan took a sip of porridge and said earnestly, "Little sister in purple, you can stay at home without worry. I have absolutely no objection."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui almost spat out the goat meat he was eating.

Even Ling Ziyi was greatly surprised, looking at Shui Feiyuan in disbelief.

Under the oil lamp, Ling Ziyi, dressed in a water kite outfit, with her hair casually draped behind her, looked somewhat shy, with a faint smile on her face.

During her recovery period, Ling Ziyi felt very safe with Lin Hui, so she had long since shed her fatigue. Her usual coldness had been replaced by a calm and serene demeanor in her every smile and frown.

Ling Ziyi noticed Lin Hui's gaze and her face turned even redder.

She said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Fei Yuan, please don't joke around."

To everyone's surprise, Shui Feiyuan immediately retorted, "I'm not joking."

"Little sister in purple, you don't know, my husband is like a wild bull at night, and I'm hoping someone can help me share the burden."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui blushed.

Ling Ziyi blushed all the way to the roots of her neck.

Lin Hui didn't know if Shui Feiyuan was doing it on purpose or what, but why she said such things today.

She wanted to change the subject, but Shui Feiyuan looked at Lin Hui seriously and said, "Husband, since Ziyi is homeless anyway, let her stay. We're like sisters."

"Besides, having someone to share the burden with, I can also have more children for my husband. Isn't that wonderful?"

Lin Hui couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of mutton.

He glanced at Ling Ziyi, who was almost too embarrassed to know where to hide, and said earnestly to Shui Feiyuan, "Feiyuan, let's eat first. We can talk about these things later."

"Yes, let's eat first."

Shui Feiyuan wanted to say something, but Lin Hui stopped her with a look.

After that, none of the three spoke; they all lowered their heads and ate, creating an extremely strange atmosphere.

After dinner, for some reason, Lin Hui really wanted to do something with his wife.

However, due to Ling Ziyi's presence, they were unable to make a move.

Feeling restless and uncomfortable, he decided to go to the yard to work in order to relieve the heat.

After standing in the cold wind for a while, the burning sensation subsided considerably.

But once I enter the house and see the water kite, my anger will rise again.

There's nothing I can do. With Ling Ziyi around, I can only suppress my feelings even if I'm about to die.

I thought I would fall asleep and everything would be fine, but I just couldn't fall asleep no matter what I did. Lying in bed felt like I was being fried like a pancake.

No, I need to vent my frustration on my wife.

He got up and walked to the bedside. Looking at the two sleeping people, Lin Hui gently patted Shui Feiyuan.

Shui Feiyuan hadn't actually fallen asleep, because she hadn't been violated by her husband for two nights. The moment she opened her eyes and saw Lin Hui, Shui Feiyuan immediately understood.

After making a shushing gesture, he tiptoed out of bed, afraid of waking Ling Ziyi.

After Shui Feiyuan got out of bed, Lin Hui immediately carried her and started looking for a place.

After searching the house, there was only one place to avoid Ling Ziyi: behind the stove.

At this point, Lin Hui didn't care about anything else. What was behind the stove? He was so engrossed in his love with his wife, why should he care about the space?

Besides, there's a lot of dry straw piled up here; you can spread it out and use it as a bed.

There were no lights, and they dared not make too much noise, but in the haystack, their bodies quickly overlapped.

It was freezing cold outside, but the two of them were burning hot.

Perhaps because of the act of stealing, the joy it brought Lin Hui was even greater than usual.

…………

On the bed, Ling Ziyi lay with her eyes wide open, hearing the heavy breathing of the two men and Shui Feiyuan's screams as she covered her mouth. Her mind was filled with images unsuitable for children.

In fact, she was already awake when Shui Feiyuan got up.

The noise outside made her feel agitated, and without realizing it, she unconsciously squeezed her legs together, her face turning as red as a monkey's bottom.

The commotion outside grew louder and louder, leaving Ling Ziyi at a loss for what to do, so she buried her head in the blanket.

But no matter how hard she tried to ignore those sounds, they seemed to have a magical power, pressing down on his heart again and again.

Her body seemed to be affected, and she felt hot all over.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she heard Shui Feiyuan's voice suddenly become urgent and alluring, as if something had happened to her.

After that, the noise from behind the stove gradually subsided.

She heard Shui Feiyuan say, "Alright, husband, once is enough. What if Ziyi wakes up?"

"Alright, my wife, go to sleep now."

Ling Ziyi hurriedly closed her eyes, trying her best to keep her breathing steady.

Shui Feiyuan quietly got into bed and quickly fell asleep. She could feel that Shui Feiyuan was very happy.

She couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and stared at the water kite beside her with her eyes open.

Her mind was in turmoil; she didn't know what she was thinking, let alone what to do next.

When Ling Ziyi woke up the next day, she acted as if nothing had happened, as if everything she had heard the night before was just a dream.

As for Lin Hui, he still went up the mountain to hunt every day, but he never encountered a large prey again, at most he would kill a pheasant or a rabbit.

Although we haven't encountered any large prey, we've already accumulated a lot of meat at home thanks to our daily catches.

Seven or eight wild rabbits were hanging under the eaves, and more than a dozen pheasants were hanging on the pillars.

Under Shui Feiyuan's care, Ling Ziyi's health is recovering day by day.
