Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Looking down into the light from the doorway, one could see a man in his thirties lying on the bed, pale-faced and extremely thin.

Even so, the man still smiled upon seeing Xu Qinghe and greeted her warmly, "You must be the second son's wife?"

Xu Qinghe nodded quickly, "Yes, hello big brother."

Brother Shen: "Hello, hello."

"You came by yourself, didn't the second brother come along?"

Xu Qinghe: "He built a chicken coop at home, and I brought my child here by myself."

"What are you doing here?"

Brother Shen gave a wry smile, "I fell a couple of years ago and it hasn't healed properly." He touched his leg as he spoke.

Xu Qinghe asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to town to take a look?"

Brother Shen: "I've seen it, it's just so-so."

"Have you eaten? If not, let my mom make you something."

Xu Qinghe: "I've already eaten."

"Then take good care of yourself, I'll come see you again in a few days."

Brother Shen nodded, "Okay." Then he looked at Aunt Shen.

As soon as Aunt Shen saw this, she immediately came over and led Xu Qinghe outside.

Just then, Shen's sister-in-law's voice came from the doorway, "Mother, look what Ping'an and I found."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qinghe in the courtyard. "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

Seeing the happy look on Sister-in-law Shen's face, Xu Qinghe quickly replied, "I came to deliver some things."

"It wasn't just a few, it was three meat pies this big!" Aunt Shen quickly added.

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately became excited, "Why send such expensive things? You can keep them for the two younger ones!"

Xu Qinghe: "We couldn't keep too many, so I gave you a few."

"What's wrong with you?"

Sister-in-law Shen said, "I went up the mountain and dug up some wild vegetables. Do you want some? I'll pack some for you." As she spoke, she tried to stuff the wild vegetables in the basket into Xu Qinghe's hands.

Xu Qinghe looked at the dried-out wild vegetables in the basket, a pang of pity flashing through her heart. She quickly refused, saying, "No, I'll go up the mountain to dig some tomorrow. You can keep them for yourselves!"

"Perfect timing, I've been out for a while now, I need to hurry back." With that, he turned to leave.

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen and Sister-in-law Shen hurriedly caught up to see her off.

Seeing this, Xu Qinghe pulled Shen Chengyue to stop while hurrying home.

When they got home, they found that Shen Zhi had already finished building the chicken coop and was sitting in the yard fiddling with something.

But Xu Qinghe still subconsciously complained to him, "Why didn't you tell me that your family's situation was so bad?"

Shen Zhi remained calm. "You saw it?"

Xu Qinghe: "Mm."

While fiddling with the things in his hands, Shen Zhi explained, "Aside from my brother's bad leg, he's not in too bad shape."

Xu Qinghe: "How can it not be bad? The whole family is relying on my sister-in-law and Ping An."

Shen Zhi lowered his eyes. "At least someone is hoping for something, which is better than no one hoping for anything."

Seeing his cold and indifferent appearance, Xu Qinghe subconsciously rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhi suddenly stood up and walked towards her with a rather imposing air, handing her the spear and saying, "Try it."

Xu Qinghe was completely bewildered after reading it. "How do I even try this?"

Seeing that she didn't understand at all, Shen Zhi took the spear and began to demonstrate. Xu Qinghe watched Shen Zhi wield the spear with great skill and couldn't help but be amazed.

She had only seen this kind of gun-wielding scene on TV before, and she thought it was so cool and beautiful!

When you actually experience it, you realize how shocking it is, because every move of the gun is filled with killing intent.

Just as Xu Qinghe was engrossed in admiring the scene, Shen Zhi stopped what he was doing, handed the gun to her, and said, "You do it once."

Xu Qinghe...

What? She was so busy looking at it that she didn't remember anything!

But seeing Shen Zhi's oppressive gaze, Xu Qinghe still took it and tried hard to recall Shen Zhi's movements.

As Shen Zhi watched Xu Qinghe wield the spear, his face grew increasingly dark.

"Never mind, this one isn't suitable for you. Try this one instead." With that, he gave her another sword.

Xu Qinghe looked at the wooden sword in her hand and then proceeded to demonstrate it to Shen Zhi in a showy manner.

Shen Zhi grew increasingly helpless as he watched, and in the end, he tried all eighteen weapons but still couldn't find a suitable one.

Even the slow-witted Xu Qinghe could now see that Shen Zhi wanted her to learn martial arts.

"Do I really have to learn it?" Xu Qinghe asked tentatively, looking at Shen Zhi who was studying weapons for her again.

Shen Zhi nodded seriously, "I have to learn it."

"Otherwise, if I'm not home, there's no one to protect you."

Xu Qinghe sighed, "Then give me something simpler!"

"Can you get me a bow and arrow? It doesn't require skill, just good aim."

Shen Zhi: "Archery also requires strength, and arm strength needs to be trained."

Thinking of the movements Shen Zhi had just demonstrated for him, Xu Qinghe replied without hesitation, "Okay, I'll practice."

It's always better to train one thing than to train the whole body.

Just when Xu Qinghe thought practicing archery would be easy, little did she know that a long-term commitment would be formed.

Seeing Shen Zhi working so diligently, Xu Qinghe unconsciously moved closer and asked in a low voice, "How do you know so much stuff?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Zhi's sharp gaze shot towards her, startling Xu Qinghe so much that she staggered. "Why are you looking at me like that? I was just asking casually."

Seeing that there was no further probing in Xu Qinghe's eyes, Shen Zhi withdrew his gaze. "I learned it at the garrison."

Xu Qinghe: "Oh."

"Are you still going to eat?"

Shen Zhi: "Eat."

Xu Qinghe angrily pouted at him secretly before going to make him a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).

I got three for Shen Zhi and one for myself.

Xu Qinghe was incredibly satisfied as she savored the delicious-looking and fragrant roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). She secretly vowed to earn more money to eat even more delicious food.

No sooner had she finished eating than Shen Zhi called her outside. Looking at the archery target not far away, Xu Qinghe felt utterly hopeless.

"Keep your hands flat and steady, look straight ahead, and relax your shoulders."

Shen Zhi stood behind Xu Qinghe, and his voice came from above Xu Qinghe's head.

While talking, he kept correcting Xu Qinghe's posture with his hands, making Xu Qinghe feel utterly hopeless.

But thinking of those people from yesterday, Xu Qinghe gritted her teeth and persevered. From initially missing the target to eventually hitting it, Xu Qinghe didn't know how many arrows she shot, nor how many times Shen Zhi picked them up for her.

Shen Zhi only let Xu Qinghe go when her hands started to tremble slightly, and she continued to practice for half an hour every day thereafter.

Xu Qinghe...

Half an hour? That's an hour!

Didn't she find herself a husband? When did she become a coach?

However, she only dared to complain to herself and didn't dare to say it to Shen Zhi's face.
