The First Military God of the Border

Construction on the house has already begun.

Because it was the first day of construction.

Lin Hui did not choose to go hunting in the mountains, but instead stayed at home directing everyone.

Jia Hua and his two apprentices each led a team to work. Some of them were demolishing courtyard walls, some were demolishing old houses, while Jia Hua was drawing the foundation for the new houses.

Seeing everyone working so enthusiastically, Lin Hui rolled up his sleeves and got to work whenever he could help.

Shui Feiyuan and Ling Ziyi were busy in the kitchen.

The two worked together very well.

As for the topic they had just discussed, they had long since forgotten about it in their busy schedules.

Suddenly, Ling Ziyi stopped what she was doing and stared blankly into space.

"What's wrong, little sister in purple?"

Water Kite also stopped what it was doing and asked.

Ling Ziyi shook her head, still lost in thought, and almost cut her hand with the knife in her hand.

Shui Feiyuan could tell from Ling Ziyi's dazed expression that she was definitely thinking about whether or not to consummate their marriage that night. She stopped teasing Ling Ziyi and focused on her work.

Jia Hua led the team to make rapid progress, and by lunchtime, everything that needed to be dismantled had been completely removed.

In the afternoon, Lin Hui and a few others worked together to build the kang (heated brick bed) in one afternoon.

Jia Hua went up to the roof and led his team to renovate the main house without stopping.

As Lin Hui lit the kang (heated brick bed), the temperature in the room slowly rose.

"Feiyuan, Ziyi, the kang (heated brick bed) is still damp. We need to dry it before we can sleep at night. You two keep an eye on it and make sure the fire doesn't go out."

"Don't worry, my husband..."

As evening fell, the villagers who had been working returned to their homes, and Jia Hua also left with his two apprentices.

Before leaving, Lin Hui gave them their wages for the day.

"Master, how can you pay someone for just one day's work?"

Lin Hui chuckled: "Here you go. You've been busy all day. Take this money with you. When you get to the city, you can go to Shiweitian and have a cup of Thirty Mile Red wine."

Jia Hua was deeply moved. This was the first time he had ever met such a straightforward employer: "Employer, I won't say anything more. Don't worry, I will definitely renovate your house to make it magnificent."

Lin Hui naturally understood that when they worked in the city, they were only paid after the job was finished. The employer did this for a simple reason: they were afraid that the workers would take the money and then abandon their jobs.

After seeing Jia Hua and his two apprentices off, it was completely dark, and the courtyard fell silent once again.

Lin Hui was still a little worried tonight that the courtyard wall was gone.

But after a long day of work, Lin Hui didn't think much of it. After a quick wash, he went straight to his makeshift bed.

But when Lin Hui arrived at the destination, he was dumbfounded. There was no bed anywhere, and the bedding rolls were gone.

"Feiyuan, where did my bed go?"

At that moment, Shui Feiyuan was busy laying out bedding for the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove). Without turning her head, she replied, "Master Jia used the wooden planks to reinforce the beams when he was renovating the roof this afternoon. I've put the bedding on the kang."

"Where will I sleep tonight?"

Shui Feiyuan replied casually, "Of course I'll sleep on the kang (heated brick bed). Do you think I can even sleep on it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui was taken aback, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to Ling Ziyi on the side.

"Feiyuan, this...this is scary..."

Shui Feiyuan chuckled: "What's there to be afraid of? What is there for my husband to be afraid of? Husband, I've already prepared a bed for myself in the newly partitioned room next door. Tonight, you and Ziyi will consummate your marriage."

"Huh? Consummating the marriage?"

Lin Hui's eyes nearly popped out.

Is this something that can be done just like that?

Even if I'm fine, would Ling Ziyi agree?

In the morning, Water Kite said there was a surprise, and he wondered what it might be. Turns out this is the surprise for tonight. It's definitely a good thing, and it is a surprise, but...

But did you ask the girl if she meant it? I can't just force myself on her, can I?

"My lord, treat the girl in purple well tonight. I'm leaving now."

After tidying up the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), Shui Feiyuan left with a smile, leaving behind these words.

Just as Lin Hui was wondering what to do, Ling Ziyi suddenly became bold and hugged him tightly from behind, her breasts pressing against his back, leaving him at a loss.

Ling Ziyi pressed her entire body tightly against Lin Hui, and he could feel her rapid breathing.

"Purple Robe, you...."

Before Lin Hui could finish speaking, Ling Ziyi's voice rang out.

"Lin Hui, I like you, I like you very much. That day in the cave you lit a fire for me to keep warm and saw my body, but you did not do anything to me. At that moment I knew that you were a man I could entrust my life to."

"If you had had any evil intentions back then, I would have been powerless to resist, but you weren't. Later, you took my dagger, and I was actually quite happy about it."

"But on the day we went up the mountain, you returned the knife to me. I thought you looked down on me and didn't like me."

"But I still forced the dagger on you because I like you."

Lin Hui interrupted Ling Ziyi: "How could I not like you? I just..."

Ling Ziyi said, "I know."

Ling Ziyi tightened her grip even more.

"I know you can't bear to part with me. If you didn't like me, you wouldn't have risked your life to save me."

"You took me home, healed my wounds, and took good care of me with Sister Feiyuan. In this life, besides my parents, you and Sister Feiyuan are the best people to me."

Her voice trembled slightly: "Sister Feiyuan is right. I should give myself to you. I want to be your wife, bear you sons, a bunch of sons, and let them practice archery and hunt with you."

At this point, Lin Hui could sense that Ling Ziyi was shy, because she was rubbing her head against Lin Hui's clothes.

Sensing the change in Ling Ziyi, Lin Hui no longer hesitated and turned to look at her.

Ling Ziyi's face was already flushed, but her brows still exuded a heroic spirit, tinged with shyness, making people feel sorry for her.

Lin Hui didn't say anything more, but showed her through his actions that he liked her and loved her.

Lin Hui reached out and hugged Ling Ziyi, then headed straight for the warm kang (heated brick bed).

This was the first time Ling Ziyi had experienced something like this, and she had no idea what to do. All she could do was hug Lin Hui's neck and desperately hide herself in his arms.

This was the first time she had ever slept on a heated kang bed, and she had never even seen one before. It was so hot that she couldn't help but shiver when she lay down on it.

Lin Hui looked at Ling Ziyi lying down, his face slightly flushed. The two were very close, their breaths brushing against each other's faces.

"Purple Robe, I love you."

Lin Hui's voice wasn't loud, but it was sincere. His eyes burned like fire, and his body was the most honest thing in the world. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and Ling Ziyi sensed it, so her face turned even redder.

At this moment, Ling Ziyi completely let go. Before Lin Hui could make a move, he took the initiative to wrap his arms around Lin Hui's neck and pulled him down.

"My husband, come, take me..."

Lin Hui could no longer restrain himself and kissed Ling Ziyi's red lips.

The two of them continued their conversation, their bodies intertwined, enjoying the beauty of spring, wishing the night would last even longer...
