5. Ask Mulan

"Mulan, those people came again last night?" Yuan looked worriedly at He Mulan, who was eating corn porridge. Otherwise, you might as well move into our house."

"No, it's just some stupid guy." He Mulan shook his head, and couldn't help but want to laugh at the thought of last night's batch of "rangers".

Hahahaha! See if they come back next time!

Let's put the real Hercules and the female ghost who carries the box!

"You're alone, it's really not safe." Yuan sighed.

"Then you can move to Huaishuo Town with me." Mulan had always wanted the whole family to go back to Six Towns with her. Most of the six towns are Xianbei people, and there are many of her close friends, which is more suitable for a woman with a special experience like her to live in this Liang County.

Although her father is a military householder and now has to be ordered to work in Liangjun County, it is not without examples of paying for others to farm.

Father Hua smashed the cane and said sharply:

"The Son of Heaven sent me to Tuntian, and I will take care of the food for the army! Pingcheng is so short of food, although we veterans are old, weak, sick and disabled and can't fight for the Son of Heaven, it is good to be able to send military rations to the front line! I don't feel at ease if someone else farms! "

But it's not your seed, it's not a flower brother's seed!

He Mullan reluctantly slandered.

After eating, He Mulan took out a cloth and wiped her mouth, which made Yuan, who saw her take a cloth to wipe her mouth again, with a pity.

Cotton is a very rare thing in Dawei, cotton cloth is only available to the Han people in the south, Dawei silk and cotton are very valuable, a small piece of cotton cloth can be exchanged for a lot of eggs. He Mulan is used to using paper towels, there are no paper towels here, there is not even cotton cloth, everything is made of burlap, winter clothes are fur not cotton jackets, and his life is very broken.

He Mulan picked and chose among Mulan's rewards, cut a piece of cotton cloth and made three handkerchiefs, which he has always used as a handkerchief. She doesn't need embroidery, she doesn't need patterns, she just absorbs water.

Wash it after use, and don't waste it.

In modern times, you can buy a long piece of cotton cloth for ten dollars, and wiping your mouth here is regarded as a luxury and waste.

Fortunately, Mulan's family doesn't covet her property, she doesn't ask what she does with her property, but when she has a pity, she inevitably brings some on her face, they are all honest people, and they can see what they want on their faces.

He Mulan pushed open the bowl, this corn rice eaten as three meals a day, the taste is really bad. If it weren't for the air-dried meat and some delicious side dishes, she wouldn't be a picky eater, and she wouldn't be able to get by just eating it.

It's really good to not be squeamish when it comes to eating.

He Mullan is still dressed as a man today. She is not used to wearing Mulan's skirt, although the clothes of Xianbei civilian women are also narrow sleeves and narrow waists, and they are not cumbersome to wear, but because there are no underwear to wear underneath, the skirt is also troublesome to move, so she has always chosen to wear men's pants pleats.

She is also reluctant to apply rouge appliqué yellow. Most of the Xianbei women have white skin, and it is their folk custom to wipe rouge on their cheeks and comb their high hair, if they are white-skinned Xianbei women, such makeup should be very beautiful.

Fang's has always been dressed like this, and she doesn't feel anything wrong.

But once the Yuan family was very interested in getting such an outfit for He Mulan once, He Mulan looked at it according to the bronze mirror, because the bronze mirror was not clear and he couldn't see his face, so he didn't see anything good or bad, but there was something indescribably awkward.

But when she passed by the water tank and saw her true face dressed like this, she endured the extreme pain and swallowed the phrase "so ugly" into her stomach in Yuan's expectant eyes, and never smeared grease and powder again.

Mulan looks like a mixed-race child, but she is a more masculine kind, her skin has not grown back to a fair appearance, her cheeks are smeared with red rouge, and her forehead is pasted with yellow flowers......

She believes that the original Mulan must look good with such makeup, but that is only limited to the fair-skinned and tall Mulan when she was a teenager, and now, it's really a little ......

Some people understand why 'when you go out and see your fire companions, your fire companions are terrified'.

In fact, Mulan is still good-looking with a plain face. Occasionally, she would tuck her skirt, and then walk around the house with a plain face to soothe Yuan's wrinkled forehead, which was about to kill insects.

In general, Mulan's family is loyal and good people, and He Mulan doesn't want to make them sad.

Just when He Mulan finished eating and was about to go out for a walk, the "headman" of Liang County and the township chief of Liu Jiaji next door suddenly visited, causing chaos in the Hua family.

The so-called "head man" is the person in charge of the disputes between the Xianbei people in the countryside, similar to the head of the Han people, and is mostly served by the local Xianbei people who are highly respected or have military merits. The Xianbei and Han people of the Great Wei Dynasty lived together, and the township chief and the head were jointly responsible for the security and related affairs of the countryside.

The head of the township of Liu Jiaji came to visit in the morning, saying that Liu Jialang, who died this morning, had an argument with Liu Meng the day before, and Hua Mulan's cousin Hua Kehu was also present at that time and wanted to ask him about the situation.

The son of the "headman" here was a subordinate of Mulan, and when he heard that this matter involved Mulan's family, he immediately rode a horse and took the township chief to Hua's house.

"This is Lady Hua, right?" Hua Kehu has a military position in the army, He Mulan is wearing a humble man's clothes, and he has a different temperament from others, the township chief of Liu Jiaji immediately found the "main master" at first sight, and greeted him very warmly, "Lao Yu is Liu Shun, the township chief of Liu Jiaji, everyone calls me Liu Lao, and this time Lao Yu is here to ......."

"General Hua, Liu Yu'an, who came to your house to ask for relatives, found himself dead in the courtyard of Liu Meng's house this morning." The Xianbei head people here once went to welcome Mulan back to his hometown in person, and at first sight, he naturally knew who this "Hua Kehu" was, and roughly deduced that yesterday. [,! Approximately what the situation was, he bowed his head respectfully at the moment and explained what had happened.

Hua Mulan is the five-grade Huwei general in the army, and the people here only know Mulan's name but not her person, and there are ugly rumors, but the local officials dare not slack off at all.

"What did you come to my house for?" Father Hua stood up with a cane, frowned and shouted: "He went to see the character of his relatives yesterday, do you think he is a murderer?"

"Not really. Hua Ye didn't know that this Liu Yu'an died in Liu Meng's house, with more than a dozen wounds all over his body, and his death was extremely tragic, and the dagger that committed the murder was also found in the water tank of Liu Meng's house. But Liu Meng insisted that he didn't know at all, and he also withdrew his hand yesterday afternoon and did not continue to harass Liu Yu'an......" Liu Lao sighed deeply.

"This was originally a sure murder of Liu Meng. It's no wonder that the neighbors next door to Liu Meng's left and right said that they didn't see Liu Meng go out to make trouble, and they didn't arrest Liu Yu'an and come back, let alone see Liu Yu'an's shadow."

Hermulan began to think in his heart.

But when you kill someone, there is always a reason. Liu Meng deceived Liu Yu'an for money, and he had already succeeded at this time, and there was no reason to kill. If a dispute starts and kills someone, there are more than a dozen wounds, not to mention that the dispute is silent, and even the family and neighbors don't know? The Han people live in a different way than the Xianbei people, but most of the Han people live next to each other.

So it doesn't make sense.

Liu Meng couldn't provoke yesterday afternoon, Liu Yu'an was worried that Liu Meng would cause trouble again, so he sent a pair of children to a cousin's house not far away, and even the children of the Liu family didn't know what the situation was. So this matter is extremely strange, and the old man wants to ask Lord Hua if there is anything special about it......"

"I see." He Mulan nodded. Where is Liu Yu'an's body now?"

"It was still parked in Liu Meng's courtyard, waiting for the messenger from Yucheng County to come, and it was not moved."

"In that case, I'll go with you and take a look at the place where the crime occurred."

"Wooden ...... What are you doing! Yuan nervously grabbed the corner of his daughter's sleeve. Since Liu Laohan came to understand the situation at that time, you told him about the situation at that time, that is, if the family can't ask for marriage, there is no fate, why do you have to wade through this bitter water! You're not an errand official, what can you see when you go to the place where the crime occurred, people are dead, and you can't speak?"

He Mulan smiled bitterly, she couldn't explain that because of her professional ethics, she couldn't see such a simple case become complicated.

"Mother, dead people can really speak."

Yuan was stunned and didn't understand what his daughter said. He Mulan took the opportunity to pull out the corners of his sleeves, took a few steps back, and bowed to Yuan and Father Hua to apologize, and then stood up and prepared to go out.

When Township Chief Liu saw this situation, and heard He Mulan shouting Yuan's "Mother", he didn't know anything in his heart, his eyes widened in horror at the moment, and he kept scanning He Mulan up and down.

This...... This man is really a woman......

Such awe-inspiring and arrogant, neither humble nor arrogant, is she really a woman?

No wonder everyone calls her a "heroine", and the head man respects her with respect.

If there really is a woman who can make great achievements, I am afraid that this is the only way!

He Mulan told the man in the Liu family who wanted to marry Mulan yesterday that her cousin "Mulan" would not marry him.

And so he had an accident today.

If Hermulan is not moved at all, it must be false. The flower mother told her to be unaware of what to do, she couldn't do it.

What's more, "Hua Kehu" has been involved in this matter. When the officials and servants in the Yucheng Yamen come, she will definitely go to the hall as a witness, and when the time comes, "Hua Kehu" is "Mulan", so she can't hide it, after all, the head knows her identity, and Hua Kehu is still training under the Six Towns tent.

"Mother of the Hua family, don't worry, I will go with General Hua, and I will not let them make a mistake." The middle-aged man in a humble costume saw that General Hua's parents were a little worried, and promised to Hua's father and mother:

"This matter is at stake for General Hua's reputation, and I will be cautious."

"It's so hard."

Father Hua made a chest salute to the leader in the army, and watched his daughter go out with them.

Because it is not a trivial matter, He Mulan took out her BMW "Yueying" from the back of the house.

He Mulan turned over and got on the horse, the head man followed, and Liu Laohan was also on a horse by a servant of the head man, and the group drove the horse towards Liu's family, which alarmed many villagers around the Hua family.

Little Brother Hua has been staring at his sister's back since He Mulan went out, struggling with whether to follow him. When Fang's saw her husband like that, she was really upset in her heart, and couldn't help but sarcastically:

"You know to keep your eyes open! It's as if there is no adult man in the house, and a daughter's house to see that kind of filthy thing! "

"My second sister has been in the army for 12 years, where would she be afraid of this!" Little Brother Hua lowered his head, "I don't know what my second sister is going to do, so I'm worried."

"If you're worried, you'll follow! It's not like there are no horses at home! "

The Xianbei military family is also responsible for raising horses for the army, and the Hua family in addition to the good horse "Yue Ying" brought back by Mulan, there are also two military horses, which are domesticated by the imperial court. Although you can't buy or sell, it's still okay to borrow a ride for the time being.

The little brother of the Hua family was scolded by his mother-in-law, and anger also rose in his heart.

Her second sister has always been an idea. [,! Otherwise, he would not have served in the army on behalf of his father back then. Although she said that she has returned to her hometown now, is it because she has returned to her hometown that she can really be willing to marry her husband and son to an ordinary person to continue the strings!

He watched his parents worry about his sister's life every day, but he didn't think so.

Does a woman like this need to get married? She can do anything by herself!

Those men can't even beat her sister in a fight, and if there is a thief in the future, will she still want her sister to protect her husband!

If he is worried that he will have no heirs, he will have a son with Fang's family in the future and give birth to his sister as a son.

It's just that he is clumsy and stupid, and he can't say anything in his stomach, so he can't talk about these thoughts with his parents and wife.

Her second sister is obviously unwilling to marry, and when his aunt is dead, he will mention it again.

Now he is worried, a battle-hardened character like his second sister must have her own plan, so he has the confidence to go and see what is going on, what is he doing there? Offering ugliness?

He hasn't even seen a dead person, and if his legs are weak at that time, he will really be a shame for the second sister!

Fang was still chattering there, complaining that he didn't look like a man, and Yuan leaned against the door and stretched his neck to look out, as if he could persuade his daughter-in-law's mouth with his eyes.

Father Hua was irritable in the room, and finally shouted:

"Mutuo, let's take a look, if you have something, you can take care of it!"

Hua Mutuo was stunned for a moment, and turned around to make sure, but Fang pulled Hua Mutuo's arm and dragged him to the manger.

Isn't he just a dead man, what are you hesitating about!
