Chapter 554: A Blind Shot?

It was time to make lunch. Shao Shuting sat at the entrance of the stove, helping Jiang Yue and Xue Yan start the fire.

Shiye was preparing to boil the medicine that his master had to drink this afternoon. There were not many paper packets left, and after he finished drinking, he and Shao Shuting could return to the military camp.

This meant that the general would be leaving in two days.

Shao Shuting really couldn’t stand the bitterness and didn’t want to torture his nose at all, so he asked Shiye to take the stove and medicine pot to boil the medicine elsewhere. When it was done, he waited for the temperature to cool down before bringing it back for Jiang Yue to pour it down his throat.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could see the construction of the house from here, which was not only noisy but also loud.

When Shao Shutings injuries were almost healed, he had lunch at the same table as Xue Dafu and the others. He didn’t need to be served anymore now that he was mobile.

“Shao Shuting, are you really leaving in two days?” Xue Wufu said to Shao Shuting reluctantly while wolfing down the delicious food made by Jiang Yue.

Ever since he became familiar with Shao Shuting, he didn’t call Shao Shuting awkwardly anymore. Instead, he spoke to him in a more casual manner.

“Yes, I have to go back after I finish my medicine. My family is rushing me to come back, so I have no choice but to go.” Shao Shuting smiled. If he didn’t go back) his father, who was in charge of the southern army right now, would explode.

The deadline his father gave him was for him to fully recover from his injuries.

“Where do you plan to go this afternoon?” Xue Wufu asked casually. Ever since Shao Shutings injuries had almost recovered, he has been walking around here and there.

Shao Shuting smiled. “Isn’t there a big mountain behind the mountain where your house is? Shiye and I want to go in and take a look. We’ll come back after seeing what’s there.”

It had been more than a month since he had properly exercised his muscles and bones. It would be best if he could encounter a fierce beast or something inside so that he could properly exercise his muscles.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, who were eating quietly, looked at each other.

It was obvious that he remembered the day they had gone to the mountains to hunt before… Jiang Yue had hunted before and she caught the bear by chance.

She even managed to save Wufu amidst the chaos.

Liu Guixia was shocked and quickly said, “Don’t go too deep into the mountains. It’s dangerous. A blind bear appeared before and the Wufu almost died at its hands. Even the hunters don’t dare to enter that mountain anymore.

What if there was something better out there?”

“That’s right, why did you have to go to the mountains?” Xue Erhu laughed. “If it wasn’t for Wufu’s unknown luck that he killed that big bear with a single arrow, Wufu would have died at the hands of that blind bear.”

“You shot a blind bear to death?” Shao Shuting looked at Xue Wufu in extreme surprise. Wasn’t this young man only 14 years old? If the bear was killed by one arrow, he should have hit the heart.

“Yes, hehehe…” Xue Wufu’s mouth was full of rice, but his face was red. He had done so many things, but this was the only thing that made him so proud. “The mountains really aren’t for humans to venture in,” Li Hehua added.

“Please don’t go, it’ll be dangerous.” Xue Yifu chimed in.

Shao Shuting then smiled gently and said, “Since there’s probably something big in that mountain, then forget it. Shiye and I won’t go.”

Then, he looked at Xue Wufu.

He was only 14 years old. Whether he was lucky or not, the bear had died in the hands of this young man. He had great potential. Moreover, this young man was especially energetic every day. He liked to run around and didn’t know the definition of fatigue. This left a deep impression on him… Perhaps, he could also get Xue Wufu to join the military?

However, he had already planned to send Xue Sanfu to the military camp as a gift to his father. If he sent another one, he would cause the other party to lose two sons.. Wasn’t that too immoral?
