I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

Ye Ze patted her hands and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we are one family."

With Ye Ze by her side, Zhao Li's fear unconsciously subsided a bit. She looked around and asked, "Where is the person?"

Finally, her sight fixed on the three tigers squatting on the ground. Zhao Li's eyes widened in disbelief. Could it be? They...are one of our own?

Ye Ze silently communicated with the system in his heart: System, can Zhao Li leave a mark on Hu Zi so that Hu Zi can obey her orders?

"Yes, the host only needs to pay double the transaction value."

"it is good."

"Leaving the mark successfully, deducting the transaction value of 320"

Ye Ze: “…”

Wait, isn't it eighty? Double that is one hundred and sixty, do you know how to calculate? Can you be even more ruthless?

The system is silent. For the same animal, if you leave a mark for the second time, double the transaction value will be deducted. If you help an outsider bind it, double the value will be deducted again. You can calculate it yourself!

The communication with the system lasted only a few seconds. Ye Ze came back to his senses and said, "Li'er, this is Hu Zi. Try talking to him."

"Ah? Talk to it?" Zhao Li⊙﹏⊙: Husband, are you serious?

Ye Ze: "Yes, it will be your tiger from now on. You can ask it to protect you when you are in danger."

Zhao Li nodded doubtfully and said to Hu Zi: "Hello..."

"Awoo..." Master.

"It, it, it, I seem to really understand what it said?" Zhao Li covered her mouth in surprise.

Ye Ze smiled and continued to introduce the two little ones to Zhao Li: "This is Hu Da, and that is Hu Er. They are both Hu Zi's children."

Zhao Li was immediately melted by the cuteness of the two tiger cubs: "So cute... Did you give them these names? So weird."

Ye Ze: "Is it weird? It sounds so nice! Come on, I'll take you to a nice place."

"Where are you going?" Zhao Li looked at him curiously.

"You'll know when you get there." Ye Ze smiled mysteriously and said to Hu Zi, "Hu Zi, let's go to the small waterfall."

After hearing this, Hu Zi immediately stood up and led the way. The two tiger cubs followed closely behind me, keeping up with my footsteps. Ye Ze and Zhao Li walked at the end.

Neither of them spoke a word, they just walked quietly, their feet making a 'crunching' sound as they stepped on the dead branches and leaves.

Zhao Li looked around as she walked. It was dark around her and she could only vaguely see the shadow of a large tree nearby. It looked quite creepy with its fangs and claws bared.

Zhao Li unconsciously leaned closer to Ye Ze. With Ye Ze by her side, she felt less scared.

Ye Ze held the flashlight in one hand and supported her with the other, occasionally whispering to Zhao Li to watch her step. He had walked this road back and forth twice and basically remembered everything there was.

After passing through the dense forest, the two stood on the edge of the valley. They could vaguely see the outline of the mountains in the distance. It was already winter, and without the embellishment of red flowers and green leaves, the fairyland had also lost some of its color. In the night, only the waterfall was sparkling with silver light under the moonlight.

Even so, Zhao Li was still attracted by the scenery here. There seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes. Oh my God, she didn't expect that there was such a valley hidden in the depths of the dense forest. How beautiful it would be if she came here in spring!

The two of them stood together, leaning against each other, quietly feeling the peace of the moment.

Hu Zi lay on the ground with his eyes closed out of boredom. The two cubs lay beside their mother and slowly fell asleep.

After a long while, Zhao Li spoke calmly, "My husband, if you can come back alive, I will give birth to a bunch of children for you, and our family will never be separated again... If you die, I will bury your bones here, and we will die together. We will live in different beds but die in the same grave."

"What do you mean by sharing the same bed in life but being buried together in death? Wasn't this what Mrs. Meng taught you? Silly girl, don't talk nonsense. If you die too, who will burn paper for us? Wouldn't we just be a poor couple over there?" As he said this, Ye Ze laughed out loud.

"You, how can you still be in the mood to joke at this time?" Zhao Li said with a tearful tone in her voice, pouting.

Ye Ze gently held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "I won't die, Li'er, you see, I can even subdue a tiger, let alone a human. Besides, your husband is literate after all, so maybe he can get a civilian job instead of going to the battlefield, right?"

Zhao Li nodded suddenly. Yes, even a tiger can listen to her husband obediently, which means that her husband is not an ordinary person. He will definitely come back alive!

Seeing that Zhao Li had taken it in, Ye Ze continued to make big promises for her: "What if my husband makes great military achievements and is awarded the title of general? I will then ask for you to be a royal consort. Can you imagine how glorious you will be? On the day of my return, your father even refused to take me out to meet the Zhao family members. When I become a general, won't he hold a three-day banquet to let everyone in Zhaojia Village know that I am his son-in-law?"

"Pfft..."

Zhao Li couldn't help laughing when she thought of her father's ostentatious look.

Ye Ze also laughed. His young wife was so easy to coax.

Then Ye Ze talked to Zhao Li about business, "Li'er, I brought you here to find a way out for the Ye clan. The border town has been breached. If the soldiers in front are not strong enough, we will not be safe here. The road to escape from the famine is full of dangers and difficulties. It is better not to leave if we can. Anyway, we have food. You can bring the people of the clan to take refuge here when the time comes."

"Okay, I understand, husband. I will take good care of the family." Zhao Li nodded.

"It depends on the situation. If the enemy really attacks us, you can bring our parents here as well."

"Okay." Zhao Li knew that Ye Ze was referring to her own parents. She felt warm in her heart. He always thought of her.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous when the two looked at each other. There was no need for too many words. Everything happened naturally. With just one glance, they could understand each other's thoughts...

Ye Ze was satisfied, his (her) first kiss in both lives was finally delivered!!!

Huzi looked up and then closed his eyes wisely. He saw nothing! Go to sleep!

......

It was already late at night when the two returned home. Zhao Li helped Ye Ze pack the things he would take with him on the journey, including bedding, food, and spare clothes.

Ye Ze put all the food in the space into the cellar and the kitchen, and piled the rest in the outer room where he and Zhao Li lived.

In addition, there are self-defense weapons, knives, swords, daggers, electric batons, and a box of powerful pills. Some daily necessities are also prepared, and he promised to give Zhao Li a flashlight and a box of batteries.

Then there was the silver. Ye Ze sold a jewel necklace and got two thousand taels of silver. The price shocked Ye Ze. He didn't expect that a random item would be worth so much money. If he sold them all, he wouldn't need those in the cave, and it would be enough for him to spend for several lifetimes!

Wait, it seems that I don’t have to worry about the transaction value anymore, killing two birds with one stone!
