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

After Lin Hui calmed Ling Ziyi down, he began making arrow shafts.

Water Kite was busy cooking.

The fish soup was ready in about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The fish soup is whitish and has an enticing aroma.

"Little sister in purple, drink your soup..."

Shui Feiyuan sat down next to Ling Ziyi with the fish soup in her bowl, stirred it a few times with a spoon, and blew on it to cool it down.

"Come, let me feed you."

"Sister Fei Yuan, I can do it myself."

Ling Ziyi reached out and took the fish soup, took a sip with a wooden spoon, and found it to be delicious.

"Drink more, this was specially bought for you by your husband to help you recover."

As Ling Ziyi drank, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

"What's wrong?"

Water Kite hurriedly asked, "Is it hard to drink?"

Ling Ziyi didn't say anything, she just silently drank her soup.

After dinner, it was time to go to bed.

This was also the most awkward moment.

Because there was only one bed in the room, which was occupied by Ling Ziyi.

For the past few nights, the two of them had made do on the wooden planks, but Ling Ziyi was still unconscious and knew nothing at that time. Time passed.

But things are different now.

Ling Ziyi woke up. They couldn't very well have sex in the same bed under Ling Ziyi's watchful eye.

After everything was tidied up, Lin Hui said, "Feiyuan, you and Ziyi rest in bed for a while. I'll find somewhere to grab a quick bite."

Water Kite was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening.

Her husband did this to avoid embarrassment, since when they slept together, one of them would inevitably be the first to give in.

She didn't say much and rested with Ling Ziyi.

As for Lin Hui, he was resting alone on the wooden plank.

The oil lamp was blown out, and the room fell silent.

Before long, the two women on the bed were whispering to each other.

However, they were quite far apart, so Lin Hui didn't hear what they were saying, nor did he make a point of listening.

The next day, after getting up and having breakfast, Lin Hui went up the mountain.

His target was goats. He had discovered a large herd during his last goat hunt, and his goal was to kill one to make jerky.

The situation is currently unstable. If the Northern Wilderness army invades, the most convenient food for him to escape with the Water Flying Kite will be dried meat, as it is easy to carry.

After they went up the mountain, the border troops who were searching the mountain had already withdrawn.

Ma Dayuan was right; after the news of the Northern Wilderness army's assembly spread, the entire border region was preparing for war.

Cheng Wuyou had no time to attend to anything else.

This is good news for Lin Hui right now.

He went to the place where he had last encountered the goat and searched for about half an hour. He did not find the goat, but after turning a bend in the mountain, he encountered a lone wild boar.

When meat is offered to you, you shouldn't refuse it.

Lin Hui's eyes narrowed, and he drew his bow and shot.

The moment the arrow left the bowstring, the alert little wild boar seemed to have noticed and quickly changed its position.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the bushes.

The arrow just missed the little wild boar.

"Did you miss?"

Lin Hui gave a self-deprecating laugh; this was the first time he had failed at hunting since transmigrating.

Lin Hui quickly chased after it. The wild boar darted left and right in the bushes in front of him, taking advantage of its agility to hide and evade.

Although the wild boar was fast, Lin Hui was no ordinary person.

The man and the boar chased each other through the bushes, one in front and the other behind. Before long, Lin Hui had led the wild boar into the deep mountains.

This was Lin Hui's first time venturing deep into the forest. Just as he was staring blankly at the towering trees around him, he turned his head and discovered an excellent opportunity to shoot a wild boar.

The little wild boar stopped and started rooting at the ground, eating something.

Lin Hui decisively drew his bow and shot another arrow.

The arrow flew towards the little wild boar with a whooshing sound, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced straight into the little wild boar's neck, the powerful force sending the little wild boar flying quite a distance.

The little wild boar didn't even struggle; it died instantly.

Lin Hui walked over, picked up the little wild boar and chuckled. It wasn't heavy, only about forty pounds. Although it was small, it was still meat, enough for his family of three to eat for several days.

Just as Lin Hui was carrying the little wild boar on his back, a bleating sound came from under a few scattered trees on the distant hillside.

Lin Hui immediately showed his delight; it was truly an effortless windfall.

He tiptoed toward the herd of goats.

When I got closer, I almost burst out laughing.

On the hillside, a dozen or so goats were digging through the snow with their mouths and munching on grass roots.

The goat at the front was exceptionally tall, with curled horns. It ate grass roots in the snow while occasionally looking up to warily observe its surroundings; it was clearly the alpha goat.

Lin Hui didn't dare to breathe loudly, crawling slowly forward in the snow until he stopped behind a crooked tree.

Meanwhile, the sheep were still happily grazing on the grass roots, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Looking at so many goats, Lin Hui suddenly had an idea: he had to kill two of them today no matter what.

They took one head back and carried the other head up the mountain pass of Eagle Ridge for the survivors to eat.

Although there was food in the courtyard, there were more than twenty of them, so they wouldn't be able to eat for long.

After finalizing the plan, Lin Hui decisively drew his bow and aimed.

His first arrow was aimed at the largest ram.

The arrow flew out, piercing the air like lightning. The lead sheep, which was grazing with its head down, was completely unaware that an arrow had pierced its heart.

The lead sheep fell down, bleated twice, and then fell completely still.

At this point, the other goats were startled and scattered in all directions.

Lin Hui was prepared and, after changing position, decisively fired another arrow.

Another tall goat fell down.

After slaughtering two goats, Lin Hui was exhausted.

After sitting down to rest for a while, they dragged the two dead goats and the wild boar together.

Goats are at their fattest and most delicious in autumn, and are relatively thin during this season, so both goats weigh around 130 jin (approximately 65 kg).

Although there isn't much meat, goat meat is delicious.

Last time, Song Qingyan gave ten taels of silver for two lamb legs. If a whole goat were brought to the county town, Song Qingyan would probably be overjoyed.

However, Lin Hui had already planned it before the hunt.

A goat was to be brought to Fan Wujiu and his group.

Let's also check on Fan Wujiu and the others' current situation.

Lin Hui buried the goat he was going to take back in the snow, then climbed a big tree to carefully determine its location.

Because he had just chased a wild boar deep into the mountains, and the path he came from had been trampled by the scattered goats, he had no choice but to use this method.

After figuring out the location, Lin Hui headed northeast.

Of course, there was also a whole goat on its back.

Upon arriving at the forest at the foot of Eagle Ridge, Lin Hui did not go up the mountain directly, but first carefully observed the area.

Only after finding no signs of anyone going up the mountain did they feel relieved enough to go up.

After climbing the mountain, Lin Hui looked at the ruins that had once been the stronghold of Cangying Ridge and felt quite saddened.

Because of Chu Yanlai's betrayal, a once powerful faction has now vanished.

I sighed.

Lin Hui walked quickly toward the small courtyard in the mountain valley.

But the further they went, the stranger it seemed. It was one thing that there were no hidden sentries on the way up the mountain.

Why haven't we seen any sentries along the way up the mountain?

Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat.

Could something have happened?
