Zhang Shixun was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Wang Dong, do you often do this?"
"I'm doing this, what can you do to me?"
"What can I do to you? This is your freedom. As long as you and I are willing, even the law can't do anything to you. However, from a moral perspective, this behavior seems... seems..."
Wang Dong turned around and said, "I know my behavior isn't very decent, but I can't control myself."
"Can't control it?"
"Since I was sixteen, as long as I lay down on the bed, it would...it would..." Wang Dong stopped talking here.
"Tell me, why are you hesitating?"
Wang Dong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as I lie down on the bed, I start thinking about... women. I can't sleep because of them."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You're a grown man, and you're in adolescence. You're full of energy, so it's normal for you to want women."
"But, I think a lot."
"How cruel?"
"Let me put it this way, when I walk down the street and see a woman, I just want to pounce on her. Do you think that's normal?" Wang Dong was troubled.
"That's not normal!" Zhang Shixun was startled and said nervously, "Old Wang, you must not do such a stupid thing. You can do other things, but you must not do this kind of thing, especially not here."
"This is just my true thoughts. I would never do such a thing even if I were beaten to death. Don't worry."
Zhang Shixun asked worriedly, "Have you seen a doctor? Is this something wrong?"
"I've seen the doctor, and he said I'm not physically ill, I just need some mental adjustment."
"What the hell is this adjustment?" Zhang Shixun thought for a moment and said, "To cure an illness, you have to treat the root cause. Your illness is just longing for women. If you just marry a wife, you'll be cured without any medicine."
"What you said makes a lot of sense." Wang Dong agreed deeply and nodded frequently.
"Pursue Chen Erniang well and try to marry her as soon as possible. She is your best medicine."
Hearing this, Wang Dong suddenly turned hostile: "Zhang Shixun, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not making fun of you. I'm telling the truth." After saying this, Zhang Shixun left him and went back to his room. It was too troublesome to talk to a lunatic.
In the following days, Zhang Shixun was very busy and asked He Ji to go to the martial arts field to practice riding and shooting every day.
Since armor was required during the test, He Ji brought a set of armor with him.
With the help of He Ji, Zhang Shixun put on armor for the first time in his life and immediately felt majestic, which could be seen from He Ji's admiring eyes.
"You are born to be a military general." He Ji praised.
"It's just a showpiece, haha." Zhang Shixun jumped on the spot and felt it was okay.
Although the armor was heavy, Zhang Shixun did not feel it was a burden and the impact was not too great.
Instructor Lin took a bow from the Tianwu Army's arsenal. It was a bow weighing two stones and five dou, and was finely crafted. It was said to be made of large ox horns and tiger tendons.
Zhang Shixun held the bow in his hand and with a little effort he pulled the bow to a full moon.
After shooting a few arrows, I felt very comfortable with it.
He Ji and Coach Lin were watching with their eyes wide open.
There are not many people who can fully pull a 2-shi 5-dou bow. There are a few people in your Majesty's royal archery team who can pull a 2-shi 5-dou bow, but they are very rare.
Zhang Shixun stood at the shooting range, shooting arrows one by one. He liked it more and more. The reason was that his hit rate had increased a lot by using this bow.
"If you want to hit the target accurately, you still need a bow that suits you." Zhang Shixun stroked the bow and felt touched.
"Brother Zhang, you seem to have even more strength than my father did in his prime." He Ji sat down on the grass, feeling a bit jealous. He said, "You've already shot more than a dozen arrows in a row, and you don't seem to be exhausted yet."
Zhang Shixun shot another arrow and said modestly, "It's just so-so."
"It seems that you still have some strength left, maybe you can pull a stronger bow." Coach Lin thought thoughtfully.
"A two-stone and five-dumpling bow is just right." Zhang Shixun pulled another arrow from his quiver and said, "Even if I could pull a three-stone bow, what good would it do? It would be useless if I can't shoot accurately."
Of course he knew his own weight. A few days ago, he used the bow that Wang Dong gave him to pull three stones, but it was too difficult and he could only pull it seven or eight times.
"It's only been a few days, and your archery skills have become so precise that almost every arrow hits the target. I admire you." He Ji said sincerely.
"Hitting the target is not what I pursue." Zhang Shixun grinned and drew the bow.
"Isn't the purpose of archery to hit the target?" He Ji was very puzzled.
"It's not enough to hit the target, you have to hit the center of the bull's eye." Zhang Shixun let go and the arrow flew away.
"Hit again. This is the sixteenth arrow, right?" He Ji leaned his hands against the pergola and looked at the scarecrow in the distance. The arrow was stuck in the scarecrow's right shoulder.
"No!" Zhang Shixun shook his head and said, "I want to shoot its chest, not its shoulder."
He Ji and Coach Lin were both surprised.
"Aren't your requirements too high?" He Ji said.
"Not really. On the battlefield, the effects of shooting someone in the chest and shooting someone in the shoulder are vastly different. A shot in the chest might kill the enemy, while a shot in the shoulder can only injure him."
He Ji took a deep breath. He didn't expect him to be so strict with himself.
Zhang Shixun reached into his quiver, but found nothing; he had already shot all the arrows.
"I'll go get the arrows." Zhang Shixun said.
"I'll go with you." He Ji followed Zhang Shixun towards the target, saying as they walked, "You said you practiced archery just to prepare for the military examination."
"That's right! I just want to prepare for the martial arts exam."
"In the martial arts exam, all you have to do is hit the target."
