He wasn’t afraid that the training would be tough. He was a farmer and could bear hardships. However, he didn’t expect to be using his brain at all. He also felt that he didn’t have the brain capacity to hold anything.
He didn’t know that he had to study and read in the military camp. If he had known, he probably wouldn’t have followed Sanfu to this military camp.
It was a good thing that he had gotten used to it over time.
He couldn’t sleep for the first few days, especially when he and Sanfu were assigned to different tents. They didn’t train together. He trained with the new recruits, while Sanfu was personally trained by someone else.
Duke Shao was even more ruthless when it came to training new recruits. At first, everyone was envious of Sanfu as they felt that the Duke Shao thought highly of him. He was envious as well. However, ever since everyone witnessed how the Duke Shao trained Sanfu to the point of no return, they heaved a sigh of relief. The intensity of his training was many times greater than theirs. No one was envious of him anymore.
Shiye had told him that Duke Shao had high expectations of Sanfu, so he was rather strict with him. However, he still treated Sanfu well.
Wufu also felt the same.
Usually, Duke Shao treated Sanfu better than his own son. This was not the first time he had seen the southern general grinding his teeth enviously.
The southern general… was really pitiful.
Sometimes, he even wondered if Shao Shuting was the biological son of Duke Shao. At first, he thought that Duke Shao despised him, and he even felt inferior for a few days. Later, he realized that as long as one was not tall, they were all despised by Duke Shao. Even Shao Shuting, who was his biological son, was not any better. He felt a sense of ease knowing this.
“Wufu, I heard that you shot a blind bear to death. Not bad. Today, we’re going to practice archery. You have to perform well and let everyone see that you still have your strengths.” A centurion patted Xue Wufu’s shoulder and said in an especially bold and happy way.
Xue Wufu was thin and weak, and he was almost smacked down by the pat.
This was the centurion in charge of Xue Wufu. The reason why a centurion was called a centurion was because he had a hundred people under him, including Xue Wufu.
They saw Xue Wufu trying his best to put on the leather armor on his body while preventing his centurion from smacking it down. He said happily, “I was just lucky. I don’t really know how to shoot.”
“You’re being too humble.” Someone immediately laughed. He even wrapped his arm around Xue Wufu’s shoulder. Everyone liked Xue Wufu very much, because he was always boisterous. Sometimes he was annoying, but most of the time he was like a happy pill that was easy to swallow. “No matter how lucky he is, he won’t be able to kill the blind bear with one arrow.”
“Yup,” Many people laughed in agreement. They were all dressed, but they could only watch as Xue Wufu struggled with his leather armor. “We’re all comrades here. Don’t be so modest. Show me your true abilities.”
“But I really was lucky to kill the blind bear with an arrow! Why don’t you guys believe me?” Xue Wufu almost jumped up in shock. No one could believe the truth at all.
“Alright, that’s enough!” The centurion patted him. “You are a man of character, why are you hiding it!”
“Centurion!” Xue Wufu really jumped up. His eyes widened in disbelief. What was wrong with these people!
“Hahaha…” Everyone was very happy.
They had been in the military camp for so long, and only Xue Wufu could make them laugh so happily.
After Xue Wufu put on his leather armor, the centurion immediately ordered everyone to line up and go to the drill ground together to learn archery. This was the first time the new recruits were learning archery after coming to the camp, so everyone was very excited.
Xue Wufu was also excited.
It was easy to hurt himself with swords and knives, but not with arrows!
