Chaotic Frontier: I Picked Up a Peerless Little Wife at the Start

Shui Feiyuan looked at Lin Hui with a shy expression. The next second, she slowly closed her eyes, completely letting go and surrendering herself entirely to Lin Hui.

"Be good, your husband won't let you suffer."

His warm voice gradually calmed Shui Feiyuan's fluctuating emotions. As Lin Hui used both hands to pull Shui Feiyuan into his arms, she was completely captivated.

The warm breath and broad chest transformed the fear I had felt earlier into a feeling of comfort.

"My husband, I am yours from now on."

Outside the thatched hut, a cold wind whipped up snowflakes, while inside, on the simple bed, whispered sweet nothings filled the air. The two lovers, lost in each other's embrace, were completely oblivious to the passage of time and the changing seasons.

They are now only indulging in immediate pleasure.

………….

Lin Hui stopped after an unknown amount of time, looking at the scattered red petals with great joy.

It was enjoyable, but the problems were just as numerous, in fact, there were even more.

Lin Hui looked at Shui Feiyuan, who was exhausted, and told him to continue resting, while he got up to prepare to go hunting in the mountains.

Now that he has a wife, she is his responsibility. In order to help his beloved wife survive better in this chaotic world, he must work harder and hunt down more prey.

Moreover, he beat An Shicai up yesterday, which cemented their enmity.

We must hunt down a large prey that will last us ten to fifteen days, and then we can start dealing with An Shicai's troubles.

If this hidden danger is not eliminated, he will inevitably come back to cause trouble.

Full of energy, Lin Hui simply ate a little of the leftover meat from last night and then went out.

Today, he was very confident. Although his bow and arrows were mediocre, the iron-rimmed bows belonging to the border soldiers he had killed were hidden in the mountains, and those were his true hunting weapons.

The wind was strong; as soon as Lin Hui stepped outside, he felt the howling wind relentlessly whipping against his face.

Perhaps because he had unleashed his fury on An Shicai yesterday, the villagers he encountered looked at him differently.

Yesterday's events must have spread throughout the village by now.

Who is An Shicai? He is the young master of the An family. No one would dare to mess with him normally. But even such a young master, whom no one dares to mess with, was beaten up by Lin Hui.

The villagers were curious about what Lin Hui had gone through to cause such a drastic change in him.

Lin Hui was too lazy to explain anything to anyone.

This is just the beginning. In the future, if anyone dares to make a move against him or his family, there's only one word: attack... If attacking doesn't work, then... kill...

Lin Hui walked through the village and was about to leave when he heard the neighing of horses.

His heart skipped a beat. There were no horses in the village. Only two kinds of people could ride horses into the village: bandits and border soldiers.

Just as Lin Hui was pondering, five figures on horseback appeared in the distance. They were moving slowly, with village chief Lin Hairong following beside them.

Looking at the attire of these horsemen, Lin Hui felt even more confused, because their clothing and equipment were uniform. Everyone wore a long robe with soft armor on top, and they all carried a standard long sword and a bow and arrows on their backs.

They are border troops.

Could it be that the fact that I killed two border soldiers was discovered so quickly?

That shouldn't be the case.

Since he had already disposed of the bodies of those two border soldiers, they must have been almost completely eaten by wild animals in the mountains, so they shouldn't have been found.

Even so, Lin Hui still felt that it was best to avoid it if possible.

But just as Lin Hui was about to dodge, he heard the village chief, Lin Hairong, call him.

"Lin Hui, come here, the general has something to ask you."

Seeing that the border guards had already locked onto him, Lin Hui hesitated, but still walked up to them.

Facing the five border soldiers who stood high above him, Lin Hui felt a little intimidated, but he quickly regained his composure and remained calm.

"Lin Hui, why don't you pay your respects to Captain Zhao? He's a squad leader in the border army."

Lin Hairong pointed to a burly border soldier in front of him and said, "Whatever Captain Zhao asks you, just answer honestly. Don't say anything out of line."

"If I say something wrong and it misleads Captain Zhao..."

But before Lin Hairong could finish speaking, Zhao Hong interrupted him, staring at Lin Hui and asking, "I heard from the village chief that you went into the mountains yesterday. Did you go far or nearby? Did you go to Anjia Wopeng?"

"Did you run into anyone?"

Anjiawopeng is the largest village around Sigou Village, with taverns and gambling dens, a place Lin Hui used to frequent.

Lin Hui was unsure of what was going on. When he asked if he had gone into the mountains and if he had met anyone, was he perhaps asking if he had encountered two border soldiers?

Because the place where the border troops were killed was on the road to Anjiawopeng.

Lin Hui's mind raced. He knew he couldn't tell the truth now, or he'd be finished. Since the body had already been destroyed, no one would know as long as he kept quiet.

"Captain Zhao, I did go hunting in the mountains yesterday, but I went straight up the mountain after leaving the village and didn't go anywhere else."

"It was too cold to stay in the mountains, so we came back before dark."

"On the way back, I was afraid of freezing to death in the mountains, so I walked very fast and didn't encounter many people."

Lin Hairong chimed in, "Yes, Captain Zhao, he came back just in time to find debt collectors blocking the door. We even went to mediate. Captain Zhao, did something serious happen?"

Zhao Hong snapped his whip, his face full of impatience.

"Recently, the Tartars in the north have been rampant, with their army pressing in on the border. The higher-ups suspect that Tartar spies have infiltrated the border villages."

Upon hearing that the Tartars might have infiltrated, Lin Hairong's expression changed drastically. Living on the border and having witnessed countless battles, he knew all too well how terrifying the Tartars were.

Once the Tartars come in, no one will have a good life. They burn, kill, and plunder. What do human lives mean to them? With a single swing of their scimitars, an entire village is wiped out. It's no different from slaughtering pigs and sheep.

Men are killed, women are either kidnapped or raped on the spot, and all food, poultry, and valuables are stolen.

There's only one word to describe it: miserable.

Seeing how nervous Lin Hairong was, Zhao Hong laughed and said, "Go ahead, there's nothing for you to do here."

Lin Hui frowned. He had a feeling that these people had come to the village not to inquire about the two border soldiers, but for something else. Although they didn't say it outright, he could tell.

However, the squad leader did not continue speaking, and Lin Hui himself did not feel comfortable asking. Besides, as long as he was not there to investigate the killing of two border soldiers, it was a good thing for Lin Hui.

Lin Hui didn't linger any longer and turned to walk into the deep mountains.

Last night, the cold wind carried heavy snow, and the mountains were covered with a layer of snow, a silver-white world, a frozen expanse.

Although it wasn't to the point where it was impossible to move an inch, it was still difficult to walk.

After going up the mountain, Lin Hui returned to the place he had been hiding yesterday, took the bow and arrows he had hidden, and then began searching for prey in the mountains.

His idea was to go to a sunny hillside because his target today was wild deer. These animals are high in calories and have a lot of meat. If he could hunt one, he wouldn't have to worry about food anymore.

Lin Hui climbed up a sunny hillside where the snow was thin and there were many traces of animal activity on the ground.

They then hid in the woods, waiting for their prey to appear.

But after waiting for a long time, no animals appeared.

"No way, could it be that I misjudged?"

Lin Hui lost his patience and got up to search around, but still found nothing. In this cold weather, after being out for several hours, he was starving and his whole body was freezing.

Lin Hui was even considering going down the mountain, but just as he was feeling discouraged, a commotion suddenly came from afar.

Lin Hui rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, and upon seeing it, he almost lost his footing and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Oh my god..."

Suddenly, an entire herd of deer appeared before him.

Lin Hui was overjoyed.

"Good, good, that's great, just kill them all..."
