Wei Han's Return
It's like a drop of water merging into the ocean without causing any ripples.
After visiting the neighbors in Green Willow Lane one by one and delivering some mountain products to them, and after confirming that there was no problem with his new identity, he tidied up his own small yard and then walked towards the south of the city.
The rebels are in urgent need of a large number of soldiers and talents!
Therefore, while trying their best to plunder the occupied territories, they were also constantly recruiting soldiers.
There are many recruiting locations in the city, and the largest one is located on Sihai Street in the south of the city, because the former Qingshan County garrison is nearby, which has now become a rebel barracks.
At this moment, many people gathered around the recruitment point. A group of rebels were maintaining order. A strong man who looked like a leader kept shouting, "The royal family of Dali is cruel, the emperor is incompetent and the people are living in misery. Our Highness Prince Xiao is seeking benefits for the people of the world and is willing to raise the banner of rebellion to fight back against the Li Dynasty. Therefore, we are recruiting all the kind-hearted people in the world to join the uprising."
"Those who want to live a good life and stand out, don't miss this opportunity! As long as you are willing to work hard and sign up to join the army, you will have a glorious life in the future with titles of nobility and generals! Those who sign up now will be given five taels of silver as a settlement allowance!"
"What are you hesitating about? A man should fight for a future for his family. All healthy men over the age of sixteen can join the army. Don't you want to achieve success? Don't you want to marry a wife and build a house?"
Under his constant instigation!
There are actually quite a few people who choose to queue up to sign up.
There was quite a lot of activity in front of the recruiting table.
Wei Han limped forward and lined up, but was pulled out by the strong man who was shouting after a while. He glared at him and said angrily, "Hey, what are you doing here, you cripple? Can a cripple like you go into battle and kill the enemy? Are you trying to cheat the resettlement fee? Get out, get out now!"
"General, calm down!" Wei Han hurriedly smiled and said, "I am a native of Qingshan County. Both my parents died and I have been practicing martial arts since I was young. Although I am lame, my arms are very strong and I can forge iron."
"Really?" The sturdy man's expression eased a little, and he looked him up and down, then pointed at the iron block used for testing and said, "Go test it."
"Oh, okay!"
Wei Han limped over and trotted.
He simply picked up a thousand-pound iron block, pretended to be working hard with a flushed face, and lifted it up with difficulty.
The sturdy man smiled with satisfaction, "Good, good, good! Hahaha, you are indeed very strong. Although your leg is a little lame, you can still be a blacksmith. Come on, register him and assign him to the forging camp."
"Thank you, General!"
Wei Han smiled and bowed to express his gratitude.
The registration was completed in a short while, and five taels of silver were allocated as resettlement allowance.
Unfortunately, he was not even given a cotton coat or armor, but only a wooden waist badge. The soldier in charge of the distribution took him into the barracks, and in a corner of the messy barracks, there was a bellows stove.
There were seven or eight large tents around, and more than twenty strong men were swinging hammers, forging weapons, and repairing various armors.
There was also a shirtless old man with a muscular body exposed, pacing with his hands behind his back, constantly inspecting the work.
"Mr. Yan, these are the new recruits assigned to the forging camp!" the soldier leading the way spoke respectfully.
"Um!"
The shirtless old man looked Wei Han up and down.
Seeing that he was lame, she didn't react much, but just looked at his arms a few more times.
The soldier smiled and praised, "Old Yan, don't underestimate this young man. Although he is a cripple, he is born with supernatural strength. His arms can lift a thousand-pound iron block. It is said that his father is a blacksmith. Isn't this a family tradition?"
"Okay, stay!"
The old man was satisfied when he heard it.
He's just a cripple, not his hand.
"What's your name?" the old man asked casually.
"My name is Zhang Fei!" Wei Han replied quickly.
"Hmm!" The old man thought for a moment and said, "I am Yan Jingshan, you can call me Old Yan from now on."
"yes!"
Wei Han nodded silently in agreement.
At the same time, I subconsciously felt that the name sounded familiar.
On weekdays, when he had nothing to do, he loved to listen to people gossiping in pharmacies and restaurants, and he also liked to listen to storytelling. I remember hearing the name Yan Jingshan several times.
He seemed to be a master forger in Yuzhou, who had forged magical weapons for many famous warriors and was a famous craftsman mentioned by many storytellers. Unexpectedly, he also defected to King Xiao.
Yan Jingshan didn't care about the boy's thoughts!
He casually instructed, "Since your father is a blacksmith, he should know some blacksmithing skills. Right now the forging camp is overloaded with tasks, and no one is available to take you with them. How about this, you pull the bellows and do some odd jobs on the side first, so that you can grow up a bit, and when this busy period is over, I will arrange for a blacksmith to take you with me."
"yes!"
Wei Han was not dissatisfied with this arrangement, and was even mentally prepared for it.
He knows nothing about blacksmithing, and people are too busy to pay attention to him, so he can only find a job for himself. It's the same for apprentices anywhere.
Wei Han has been hanging around at the bottom of society for a long time and has a sharp eye.
He didn't need anyone to tell him what to do and just started working.
Sometimes I help people pull the bellows, sometimes I help to move things.
He was hardworking, smiling and sweet-talking. Seeing that he looked like a simple and honest young man and was crippled, people couldn't help but feel pity and a desire to get close to him.
The invisible relationship also quickly became closer.
"Hey, who are you, young man?" A sturdy man swung a hammer and chatted cheerfully: "You look quite strong."
"I'm a local and have been practicing martial arts since I was a child!" Wei Han replied with a simple smile, "Although my leg is lame, I'm still very strong. Masters, please let me know if you need any help."
"Okay, I like your straightforward personality! You have a great body, but it's a pity about your legs!"
"Are you married? I'll introduce you to a beautiful girl."
"Go to hell, Lao Liu. You're trying to trick someone into marrying your sister again, right? You're 300 pounds, don't try to cheat on this young man!"
"Hey, with the same dowry, marrying a bigger guy, isn't that a good deal?!"
"Hahaha!"
The rough guys in the forging camp burst into laughter from time to time.
Wei Han was also happy to blend into this atmosphere and laughed along.
There was no intrigue, no yelling or cursing, only the constant busyness of pounding.
While working hard, enjoy the rare tranquility!
This kind of spiritual peace is more precious than anything else.
Of course, he was not idle either.
While helping out with odd jobs, Wei Han also paid attention to the techniques, movements, and processes of each blacksmith. Whether it was forging weapons and armor, or repairing bows, crossbows, and swords, the forging skills had already been displayed on the attribute board through his silent observation.

【bite! You observe other people's forging skills, and your proficiency in basic forging skills increases by 3.
System prompts kept flashing.
Wei Han cannot hang up because he does not have the forging skill book and the various forging materials are incomplete. But he continued to gain experience as he watched the blacksmiths work.
I already have some general understanding of the skill of forging in my mind.
I believe that as long as he keeps studying like this, he will become a master forger sooner or later.
"No rush. Anyway, I am immortal and have a long life. I can just stay in this barracks and learn slowly. If I can get some good stuff from Old Man Yan one day, I can easily become a famous blacksmith!"
Wei Han smiled with relief in his heart.
He turned around and continued to immerse himself in his own busyness.
