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

Sigou Village, Lin Hui's courtyard.

Shui Feiyuan and Ling Ziyi saw the workers off together.

The courtyard became deserted.

Shui Feiyuan stood at the door and looked around, wondering why Lin Hui hadn't returned yet.

Ling Ziyi walked over and took Shui Feiyuan's hand: "Sister Feiyuan, don't look anymore, he will come back."

"Little sister in purple, I'm still a little worried."

"Sister Feiyuan, what's the use of worrying? He has legs. Besides, with his skills, he can escape even if surrounded by dozens or hundreds of people."

Water Kite nodded, but the worry on her face remained.

Ling Ziyi joked, "Let's go, Sister Feiyuan, let's go cook. What if he comes back and we haven't finished cooking yet, and he gets starving?"

"If you get too hungry, you won't have any strength, and if you don't have any strength, your sister won't be able to enjoy herself tonight."

Shui Feiyuan smiled shyly: "Little sister in purple, what are you saying? I don't want to, I just want to sleep. You're worried that your husband won't have the energy to bother you, aren't you?"

Amidst their playful banter, they headed towards the kitchen.

"Little sister in purple, what should we cook for dinner tonight?"

Ling Ziyi looked at the ingredients in the room and took down half a lamb leg: "Okay, Sister Feiyuan, let's stew the lamb leg and then make porridge."

"Okay, then I'll cook, and you can start the fire."

The two had already become very close during their time together and worked together very well.

Soon, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Ling Ziyi had practiced martial arts since childhood and had excellent hearing. She could hear the sounds outside as soon as she twitched her ears.

At first, it wasn't very clear, but as time went on, Ling Ziyi's expression suddenly became serious.

It was the sound of horses' hooves, but judging from the noise level, Ling Ziyi knew it couldn't be Lin Hui.

Since both of the family's horses were still tied up in the stable, the visitor couldn't possibly be Lin Hui.

"Sister Fei Yuan, someone's here."

"Huh? How did you know?"

"I could tell from listening to it."

"It must be my husband returning."

Shui Feiyuan dropped the spatula and was about to go out to greet them, but was stopped by Ling Ziyi.

"Sister Feiyuan, you should stay out of the way, or you might get into trouble." As she spoke, Ling Ziyi picked up the cleaver behind the stove and stood up, her gaze cold and stern.

Shui Feiyuan understood what was going on and told Ling Ziyi to be careful.

Ling Ziyi nodded, then stood in the middle of the courtyard with her machete in hand. She closed her eyes and listened carefully. After confirming that the sound of horses' hooves was coming from the courtyard, she decisively slipped behind the gate and hid.

Listen carefully to how close or far the person is.

A few seconds later, the sound of hooves stopped outside the courtyard.

"Second brother, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is this the place?"

"Brother, there's no mistake, this is the place. Look at this grand gate and mansion, they're obviously rich."

The leader smiled with satisfaction and spurred his horse directly into the courtyard.

Ling Ziyi could see clearly through the gap, and she was certain that these people were bandits.

Ling Ziyi's killing intent was revealed. Before the man could rein in his horse in the courtyard, she had already attacked from the side.

Although the cleaver wasn't as easy to wield as her longsword, it was still quite powerful in Ling Ziyi's hands.

The machete drew an arc and struck the bandit squarely in the neck.

Ling Ziyi struck with great force, severing the man's neck with her cleaver. Before he could react, his body was severed from his head.

As he fell from the horse, his body slammed heavily onto Lin Hui's newly paved stone floor, his head rolling down the floorboards before finally stopping in the corner.

The third bandit leader's expression changed drastically, and he shouted to his eldest brother, "Big brother, there are experts inside! The brothers who went in are all dead!"

The man known as the leader rode forward, carrying a halberd. He raised an eyebrow, glanced at her sideways, and said disdainfully, "She's just a woman. She killed someone by sneak attack. Nothing special."

The second brother carefully examined Ling Ziyi and chuckled, "Big brother, look, this woman is really beautiful."

The man with half an eyebrow grinned lewdly: "Let me take her down."

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped off his horse, and the other bandits followed suit, with five or six bandits surrounding Ling Ziyi.

Half-Browed, wielding a halberd, decisively charged towards Ling Ziyi.

Ling Ziyi moved nimbly, dodging left and right, and parrying with her sword.

However, even though Ling Ziyi used all her strength, she still found it somewhat difficult. After all, her weapon was limited, and her shoulders were also restricted from exerting force as her injuries had just healed.

After several moves, Ling Ziyi was at a disadvantage.

Half-Eyebrow noticed Ling Ziyi's weakness and, as he made his move, gave a look to the person beside him. The person immediately understood, and the instant Half-Eyebrow blocked Ling Ziyi's path, the person decisively drew his gun, striking Ling Ziyi's lower abdomen with a single blow.

The shot didn't pierce directly, but rather struck with a gun, carrying great force. Ling Ziyi staggered back several steps without regaining her balance, eventually falling to the ground, her weapon knocked from her hand.

Ling Ziyi groaned, her face contorted in pain.

Several bandits, their faces fierce, swarmed forward.

But at that moment, the water kite suddenly rushed out, holding a fire poker in its hand.

Shui Feiyuan didn't know martial arts and was trembling when facing the bandits, but she still stood in front of Ling Ziyi without hesitation.

Without saying a word, he started hitting randomly in front of him, shouting, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer..."

The bandits were forced back two steps by the water kite.

She turned to look at Ling Ziyi, reached out to help her up, and asked with concern, "Little Ziyi, are you alright?"

Ling Ziyi nodded, picked up the machete again, then pulled Ling Ziyi behind him, staring coldly at the bandit in front of them.

Seeing that the two women were both incredibly beautiful, Half-Eyebrow chuckled and said to the bandits beside him, "Brothers, we're in for a treat today."

The bandits laughed heartily.

"That's right, I never expected that such an exquisite beauty could exist in a remote mountain village."

Half-brow's gaze remained fixed on the two women the entire time, a lewd smile playing on his lips.

"Hehe, brothers, tie them up."

Several bandits responded and slowly approached the two women, their eyes filled with greed.

However, at this time, the goodwill that Lin Hui had cultivated in the village came into play.

After hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the old village chief Li Hairong came out to investigate and was terrified when he discovered that it was bandits.

However, upon learning that the bandits' target was Lin Hui's two wives, they gathered the villagers who worked for Lin Hui without further ado.

At this moment, the villagers were not afraid of the bandits. They held their farm tools and stood in a stalemate with the bandits.

Li Hairong stood in front of the villagers, holding up his cane, and shouted, "Heroes, we don't want to have a conflict with you, but you can't touch those two."

With a cold snort, Half-Frown looked at these villagers who didn't know their own mortality and thrust his halberd forward.

"Old man, if you know what's good for you, take the villagers and leave. Mind your own business. We, White Tiger Mountain, are not to be trifled with."

When the villagers heard that they were bandits from White Tiger Mountain, they looked at each other in fear.

No one dared to go up and fight the bandits. Seeing this, Half-Eyebrows smiled and gave a look to the bandits beside him: "Drive them all out. If they don't leave, kill them all."
