Chapter 286 Unable to Empathize
After all, it's unimaginable what people could do in an era of abundant resources where they would never go hungry.
The soldiers stopped, and their fatigue vanished. Although they were still tired, at least they wouldn't be even more exhausted.
One of the soldiers said, "Finally, we don't have to shovel snow anymore. I was about to throw up from shoveling it. This mechanical action is so annoying. We are human beings, not machines."
"Besides, the snow is so heavy that there's no point in continuing to shovel. We might as well rest and recover our strength. Once the snow stops, we'll still have a lot to do. We probably won't be able to stop going up the mountain and down to the countryside then."
"Although we are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and our training volume is very high, it's different from doing manual labor. Our superiors are understanding and won't make us train all the time. Hmm."
Many soldiers are suffering because of the snow; the amount of exercise required is indeed very high.
Their physical strength was already extraordinary, yet they were so exhausted that they almost lost a layer of skin. It must be said that although the young master appeared to be a kind and gentle person, he was still quite capable.
The court and the common people had extremely high opinions of the young master, but after spending more time with him, they realized that the more kind a person seemed on the surface, the more cunning and ruthless they were inside.
To order them around, are they completely ruthless, even more so than the officers in the military camp?
It was as if they wouldn't stop until they were completely drained of their last drop of energy, and they wouldn't let them stop at all.
When they worked alongside Fusu, they weren't allowed to even think about slacking off; at most, they could slow down their snow shoveling.
They couldn't just stand there and rest, so even though they slowed down, they were still exhausted; they had been producing snow for several days.
If it weren't for the cold and heavy snow on the ground, they would have liked to lie down and take a good rest.
Although Fusu and General Chen were far apart, their hearing was fine, and the soldiers had very loud voices.
Even though they thought their voices were too soft for others to hear, it was actually Fusu and General Chen who heard the soldiers' complaints.
Fusu didn't take it to heart. They worked every day, and Tang Fusu watched from the sidelines, so he could understand why they felt it was hard work.
It seems a bit too much, but Fusu had no choice but to do it in order to save some firewood.
After General Chen heard those complaints, especially since Fusu was standing right next to him, he could hear them, and Fusu must have heard them too.
He felt so embarrassed that he felt like he was digging a room out of his toes.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had always been too nice to these kids, which made them forget the proper order of respect and dare to criticize him in front of the young master.
Who is this young master? He's a celestial being; they can't possibly question him.
They even felt that the young master had assigned them too much work, which was like an old man hanging himself because he was tired of living.
They thought the young master couldn't hear them, but General Chen knew he definitely could.
Hmm. It's fine to complain privately; no one will report them. But for the young master to hear it in person makes a difference.
This is a capital offense, but unfortunately he can't teach it a lesson in front of Fusu and let his men know the proper order of seniority.
