He might be possessed by a demon.
Xiao Sui thought to himself.
In the next few days, Xiao Sui went up the mountain to hunt every day as he did before, and came back before lunch.
But this time when he came back, no one greeted him with a smile.
His little courtyard was still as deserted as before.
He is the only one there.
One day, when Xiao Sui was absent-mindedly processing prey in the courtyard, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from not far away.
His heart beat violently a few times, and he put down the prey and stood up and walked out of the yard.
But when he saw that the person who came was his former subordinate, Xiao Sui frowned, and a hint of loss emerged in his heart.
"Major General! Are you here to pick up your subordinates?"
An Lin was extremely surprised.
Xiao Sui pursed his lips and said, "No, what do you want to see me about?"
He turned back to the yard to continue processing the prey.
"Major General, I'm here to ask you on behalf of my brothers. When will you return?"
An Lin rubbed his hands and asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sui frowned even more tightly.
"Don't call me Major General, I'm just a hunter in the mountains now.
I remember telling you before I left that I had no intention of returning to the military, nor did I plan to be a general or a major general anymore.
Ever since my father died in battle, I have no intention of returning."
An Lin looked at Xiao Sui worriedly. "Young Master..., are you planning to stay here for the rest of your life, a hunter?"
"Why not? Now that the two countries have signed a ceasefire agreement, there will be no more war for at least a hundred years, and my presence will no longer be needed."
Xiao Sui said this calmly and continued to process the prey.
An Lin scratched his head, "Sir, then, then you won't get married?
I know that ordinary women are not worthy of your attention, sir.
In the capital, the women from the border are not even worthy of your attention, so I am afraid that the women in this small mountain village are even less so.
The old general's spirit in heaven would certainly not want to see you die alone!"
As Xiao Sui listened to An Lin's words, a beautiful and vivid face appeared in his mind.
His heart skipped a beat, and the little seed that had been buried deep in his heart seemed to be about to break through the soil and start sprouting.
His lowered eyelids trembled, "An Lin, do you know what it feels like to be attracted to a woman? How can you tell if you're attracted to that woman?"
When this topic was brought up, An Lin became excited.
"Sir, this is simple. When you like someone, you will think of her when you eat, when you sleep, and when you work.
And when it rains, I worry about whether she gets wet, whether she eats enough, how she sleeps, and I always worry about this and that.
Of course the most important point is that you will want to live with her, want to see her every day, want to have children with her and live a happy life, want to kiss her and hug her.
And if you see her with other men, you will get angry, jealous, and upset!"
After An Lin finished speaking in a very proud manner, he looked at Xiao Sui, who was a little dazed, with curiosity.
"Sir, do you have a girl you like?"
Xiao Sui thought back to what An Lin had just said, and it all seemed to match.
When he saw Miss Ying chatting and laughing with that bastard cousin, he felt very annoyed and angry.
He used to live with Miss Ying in the courtyard. When he saw Miss Ying's beautiful smile, his heart would beat faster.
Sometimes when he was in the mountains and saw it was raining, he would wonder if Miss Ying had gone into the house to hide, whether she would get wet, etc.
So this is what it feels like to love someone?
Xiao Sui put his hand on his chest and felt the fluttering of his heart. The emotions that had been hidden deep in his heart for a long time seemed to burst out!
He likes Miss Ying!
He likes Miss Ying!
He wanted to marry Miss Ying and live with her!
I want to see her first thing every morning when I wake up!
The questions that have been confusing me for a long time have finally been answered!
An Lin, who was standing by, saw Xiao Sui's expression of sudden enlightenment and slapped his thigh with absolute certainty, "Sir, you really do have a girl you like!
Who is the girl you like? Can I take a look at her?"
Xiao Sui glanced at him and said, "No, if you have nothing to do, go back.
You can convey what I just said to others.
From now on, I will just be a hunter in the mountains, no longer a major general of the Xiao Mansion."
When An Lin heard this, he immediately looked worried.
"Sir, you, you..."
"That's it. I have something else to do. You can go now."
Xiao then got up and went to the warehouse to take out the cart board, preparing to take the prey to the town to sell it.
Of course, selling the prey was just his excuse, he had more important things to do!
"Sir, I finally get to see you. Are you unwilling to let me stay here for one night?"
An Lin made a sad face to gain sympathy.
Xiao Sui blew a whistle and called Zhuifeng from the mountains.
"If you want to stay, that's fine. Then you can wait here for me. You can't follow me. I'm going to town to sell my prey."
"Okay, okay! I'm willing!"
An Lin agreed immediately.
His eyes were rolling around, and it was obvious that he was secretly planning something.
Xiao Sui put the reins on Zhuifeng and glared at An Lin, "You are not allowed to follow me, or I will chase you away immediately!"
An Lin touched Zhuifeng's face curiously, and Zhuifeng spit on his face.
"Don't worry, sir. I won't follow you! Zhuifeng looks much better. Could it be because he's free?"
"Well, Zhuifeng usually moves around in the mountains on his own. I only call him out when I need him. Maybe because he's free and doesn't get hurt on the battlefield like before, Zhuifeng's condition has visibly improved."
Xiao Sui touched Zhuifeng with relief and explained.
An Lin seemed to be lost in thought.
He helped Xiao Sui move the prey onto the cart, and then watched Zhuifeng drag the cart and Xiao Sui away.
An Lin scratched his head and wanted to follow him to see what was happening, but when he thought of his young general's martial arts skills, he silently gave up the idea of following.
Xiao Sui went to the back door of Hongfu Restaurant with great joy.
This time Chef Liu was not waiting, but another servant was waiting.
When the servant saw Xiao Sui, he hurried over to greet him.
"Master Xiao, you're finally here! The chefs are short of ingredients today!"
Xiao Sui glanced at the bustling restaurant and said, "It sounds like the restaurant is quite lively. It seems that business is pretty good."
"Yes! Business is incredibly good compared to before! And it's all thanks to Miss Ying and Master Xiao's recipes!"
The servant was very happy when talking about this.
He quickly weighed the prey and paid Xiao Sui with money.
"Mr. Xiao, now that you are here, would you like to come in and meet our boss and Miss Ying?
They are in the private room on the second floor."
