Chapter 115: The Beginning of Glory

Coming out of the blacksmith, Muller accepted the fact that he was already a "trumpet". No matter how strong her martial arts are and how powerful she is, the current Hua family is not rich.

If it weren't for Father Hua's leg injury, which only occurred when it rained and winter, and winter was not the season for farming, Mulan's family would be even poorer.

The sister of the Hua family is also married to an ordinary military family, and nepotism can't get through.

At this time, even if the crescent halberd is placed in front of her, she has money, and it is useless to buy it.

Because her red horse is not a shadow, if the weapon is too heavy, she can't run fast or far.

Woo woo, that's a sad story.

The footsteps of Hemulan's return trip can only be described as dragging.

On the way back, she met a pair of brothers who were practicing martial arts in a clearing. The elder brother is about 20 years old, missing an arm, and the younger brother is about his early teens, holding a wooden stick, "ho", "hey" while shouting slogans that have nothing to do with martial arts training, while waving the stick.

He Mulan stood on the side of the road, wanting to see how ordinary people practiced martial arts.

Before Shan Zhuo came, she didn't have a sparring partner, and she had been fighting with the memories left by Mulan.

In her opinion, the younger brother didn't even look like he was holding a stick. It's not a knife, why do you hold it on your chest? His feet are casually standing and very open. If you stab him now, he won't even be able to dodge.

"Have you forgotten what Grandpa taught you? Do you think you're chopping wood with an axe? Hold it with both hands! "

The younger brother did as he was told. In the time that followed, they performed a scene that Hermulan couldn't stand to watch.

Every time the younger brother stretched out his stick and was about to touch the elder brother, he would retract it, but the elder brother beat his younger brother like a dog, without mercy.

His moves weren't flashy or powerful, but his movements were unstoppable and cruel, unlike his younger brother who didn't dare to attack because he cared about his arms.

"How are you going to go to war like this!"

Boom.

"Do you think you'll come back alive like this?"

Boom.

"If I hadn't come back, would you have just gone away with a stick?"

Bang bang bang.

"Brother, don't hit me! There's a girl over there who looks at it and laughs! "

What's funny?

Her eyes are so hot.

Hermulan turned his head to look west. The setting sun dyes the sky red. It was supposed to be a very warm color, like the fiery atmosphere in the blacksmith's shop, but she somehow felt a chill from the warm red light.

It's almost dark, and I'm still practicing martial arts.

"You kid, do you already know how to watch girls when you're only a teenager?" The brother with the broken arm continued to bang the stick with a loud bang.

"You have to have such a focus when you practice martial arts, and martial arts will definitely not be like this!"

"Don't fight, don't fight, oh, flash your waist, brother, I'll flash your waist!"

The good-looking younger brother dropped his stick and began to run all over the field.

It was obviously a very happy scene, but He Mulan ran away with a heavy heart.

This is obviously a fantasy, and she shouldn't have any associations with NPC-like scene characters, but she still can't help but feel a little sad.

Because she had seen Mulan's memories, she knew what a cruel place the battlefield was.

She just picked up her narrow skirt and ran home in a hurry.

Seeing the father of the flower constantly looking at the door, and the mother of the flower wiping her tears and nagging, He Mulan's determination was stronger than ever.

No matter how dangerous it is, even if you break your mouth, you can't let the flower father go.

In this way, no one will die.

He Mulan got inspiration from where her brother beat her younger brother everywhere, and she began to invite her father to compete in martial arts.

He Mulan didn't know what level Hua Mulan was more than ten years ago, but He Mulan, who inherited all the memories and combat skills of Mulan, seemed to be a general store.

Again and again, she skillfully picks off Father Flower's weapons, and her arrows are astonishingly accurate. Even the flower mother, who doesn't know martial arts, after seeing the competition between He Mulan and the flower father, suddenly felt that "I must be pregnant with the wrong fetus".

Father Hua was almost pressed and beaten, even if He Mullan only used one hand, he couldn't find the slightest chance to turn over. If Father Hua's poor martial arts performance is because of his legs, then it is not a problem for him to fight on horseback, even if he is a cripple, he can ride a horse, but even if it is a horse battle, Father Hua is not the enemy of Hemulan.

It's just horrible. A knight who had never fought on a horse was able to easily win against a battle-hardened veteran. There is nothing to explain other than the gifted wizards.

In front of his daughter, he was full of flaws up and down, left and right, and even if he blocked left and right, he could only watch the wooden stick pound on the various vital points on his body.

If this is a real gun......

Father Hua began to look at Hua Mu Tuo with hot eyes.

This is his son, and he should have inherited this terrible talent!

Hey, by the way, where did this talent come from?

He obviously doesn't have such skills!

Seeing such a fact, Father Hua can only admit that Mulan is going to the battlefield and will only do better than himself. If it's such a martial art, I'm sure I'll be able to come back alive.

As long as she doesn't take the lead

[,! The father finally agreed to his daughter's request and began to actively participate in the matter.

"This military post was sent to attack the military camp of the Xia State and Wancheng. Now that the king is in Hong, the two armies are equal in strength, but my Great Wei is fighting every year, and the troops are stronger, and Grandpa expects that this battle will be won. You can only return to your hometown after the big victory, you take the military post from Hong, and go there quickly......"

"Grandpa, I want to go to Montenegro." What He Mulan can rely on the most is the memory of the battle of the wedge Mulan, if she goes to attack the Xia Kingdom, maybe she will either die from a stray arrow, or she will be injured by the rolling oil wood during the siege, so she shook her head.

"I'm not going to siege the city."

"Why?"

Father Hua's eyes widened, "The Black Mountain camp is still in Black Mountain City, where the wind and sand are strong, and the Rouran people are constantly harassing, and they must be ready to fight at all times, what are you going to do there!" "

He Mulan remembered Mulan's reason for persuading Father Hua at that time, and said:

"Grandpa, I'm not interested in conquering other people's cities. I am a woman, and I don't need to rob women or treasures. Uncle died at the hands of the Rouran people, and I thought that even if I killed a few Rouran people on the battlefield, I would be able to avenge the uncle."

Mulan's uncle died in a battle in the clouds, and the relationship between the two families was very good.

"Your uncle......"

He sighed, "He's much better than me, but I survived. Mulan, it's good that you have such ambitions. Although you are a daughter's family, you are not inferior to my humble man."

"The Montenegrin camp is poor, but it's not useless. It's sparsely populated and cold, so you can go winter without bathing. In this way, your woman's identity is not easily revealed. You are a good horseman, especially a bow, and there are plains for cavalry and archers."

As soon as Father Hua mentioned the war, he immediately bitterly spoke.

"When you arrive in Montenegro, always remember that you are a woman. So, you can't be out of line, you can't be too brave, you can't show your great strength. You just need to survive." He stared at his daughter tightly, "As soon as you have the chance, you will get a little injured, or find a chance to transfer to internal affairs. When the Khan wins, you will think of disarming and returning to the field. You're coming back......"

"Give me back alive!"

"I'll come back alive."

Bring back more people who survived.

Hermulan replied solemnly.

Hua Mulan is going to join the army for her father, and Hua Mu and Hua Mu Tuo's feelings are very complicated.

Yuan is a typical daughter of the Han family, originally there was a spin in the family, Yuan was literate, and Hua's father also learned some simple words in the military, so the children of the Hua family will use words in school.

But being able to write doesn't mean you're very knowledgeable.

Yuan's personality is actually not much different from Qiu Lin Mo Zhen's wife. It's just that the Yuan family still has a husband to rely on, and the Wang family has no support at all, so it is extremely weak.

If it is said that the daughter is willing to join the army, so that Hua Arc and Hua Mutuo do not have to face the miserable future, and the Yuan family does not breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it must be false.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't care about her daughter. It's just that it may be a little less concerned than a son and a husband.

Every day, she convinces herself with Mulan's amazing martial arts, telling herself that this is the best choice. But once she closes her eyes, she can always dream that her daughter who is in a different place is sent back, or as the eldest daughter said, the daughter who revealed her identity in the barracks is finally violated by a group of people.

It's because I'm scared that I'm cranky. Cranky thoughts trigger more associations.

"Mother, change Grandpa's clothes a little thinner, and let me take them to Montenegro." He Mullan can only do some simple needlework, and it is not enough to ask her to make clothes and change clothes." And the dirty pants, the middle coat, Grandma, you have to get my clothes ready."

Isn't she resentful at all?

Not scared at all?

Yuan looked at his daughter, and these questions kept floating in his heart.

"Mother, why do you think of me like that? Don't you have any clothes left at home?" He Mulan looked at the house with almost the same walls as the rest of his home.

Probably because Hua Mulan won many battles in later generations and gained a lot of money, the Hua family in Liangjun can be regarded as a rich family, and there are many belongings in the house.

The Hua family, who was not in the army and purely relied on farming, did not have much surplus, and they didn't even have the leather they needed to make new men's clothes for He Mulan to wear.

"Huh? Yes! Yuan suddenly came back to his senses. Yes, yes, and a few big jackets! Enough to wear, enough to wear! "

She panicked and opened the coat box and pulled out a thick winter coat from it. There were two relics of her father, and she turned them out as soon as she gritted her teeth, and changed them all into clothes for her daughter to wear.

"I don't need that much, I can't take that much with me, I have to bring a lot of things." He Mulan remembered that there was almost nothing in the army, "Just bring me two thick ones."

What is missing, go back and go to the Rouran people to get it.

Hermulan already had enough confidence.

Hua Xiaodi is still young, and his attitude towards "joining the army" is probably the same as that of modern children watching their parents "go to work", in his opinion, most of the adults are going to the army, and those who stay are old, weak, sick and disabled. Although my sister is also going to the army, the powerful sister is not inferior to any adult in his opinion.

"Sister, you're gone, who will play with me?" Hua Mutuo looked at her sister who was packing her things. When are you coming back?"

"Soon, in a few years." He Mulan remembered the battle of Rouran, she joined the army this year, as long as she waited for a year, Tuoba Tao began to march north to Rouran, and after a large-scale attack, she won. [,! It took less than a year to win.

If she saw Tuobatao, it should be over in one breath, right?

That won't be a few years.

"Grandma said, if you go, Grandpa and I don't have to go to the army. Can it really be? But Brother Huzi next door said that if the boy didn't join the army, he would be a soft egg...... "Hua Mutuo's eyes widened." I don't want to be a soft egg."

"The army wants to see a lot of corpses." She remembered that Hua Mutuo had been afraid of the dead since she was a child. Many, many corpses."

Hua Mutuo's face turned ugly all of a sudden, and he fought for a long time in his heart, and finally pouted. Then sister, I'd better be a soft egg."

"Hahaha, not being a soldier doesn't mean you're a soft egg." He Mullan patted him on the head. You can't be weak, you're Mulan's brother."

"Yes. I'm going to be great! "

After getting his parents done, He Mulan used the family's red horse to carry all the property that the Hua family could find—two pieces of cloth and two buckets of chestnut rice—and stepped into the market in Huaishuo.

At the beginning of Mulan's speech, there is "buy horses in the east market, buy saddle sheath in the west market, buy bridle in the south market, and buy long whips in the north market", although it is an intertextual technique, it also just shows that the business division of the Hu people is indeed a bit bad.

What a sorrow it is to have places to sell things in the north, south, west, and north.

It's just the rhythm of running a broken leg.

What's even more terrifying is that Mulan's family is so poor now, He Mulan is used to the days when she wants anything in the warehouse, and the ancient people generally don't offer prices for simple things, so she never bargains. Now I just order cloth and chestnut rice, and I actually want to buy all the horses, saddle sheaths, bridles, and long whips......

Pit! Can you not run northeast, south, west, and northwest?

You have to shop around!

Thinking of the government military system to fight, the small soldiers have no military salary, only a share of military rations, He Mulan suddenly felt a sore throat.

If you eat too much cake, the chewing muscles of both cheeks will become developed.

She sighed as she picked and picked among the stalls in the bazaar.

"How much is this bridle worth? What the? A liter of rice? What are you doing with this bridle hair?" He Mulan looked at the bridle on the ground in fright.

This era is more than ten years earlier than when He Mullan passed through! Shouldn't prices be lower?

Inflation or something!

"Now everyone in Huaishuo is buying these, you are too expensive, others are too cheap......"

As he spoke, a man dropped a liter of rice and bought one of the bridles, without even saying a word of superfluity, and He Mullan simply thought he was a nursery.

When she traveled all over the four cities, and found that everyone was robbing the good horses and good riding equipment in the market, she simply bought a set of the inferior ones, and only the horses picked a young one and ran steadily.

In this way, there were some pieces of cloth and rice left, and He Mullan replaced them with the worst kind of paper, bundled them into a large bundle, and wrapped them in a package.

Weapons and equipment can be dropped by brushing mobs, and toilet paper is difficult to find at the border.

Thinking of those small bamboo chips, He Mulan suddenly felt a faint pain in the chrysanthemum. If you use that thing once, you don't want to use it a second time.

Sure enough, when He Mulan came home with these things, he was scolded by Father Hua fiercely.

"I think you're a daughter's family, and you're smart at shopping on weekdays, so that's why you have to pick it yourself! Look at it, look at what you're buying! Father Hua picked up the saddle and threw it at her feet. With such a hard leather, your thighs will wear out after you run for a day! Even if you can stand it, your horse can't stand it! "

"I'll put a cushion under the saddle......"

"You still talk back! Now is the time for you to save your life, where can you save all this money! Go to the market tomorrow and sell this for a better one! "

"Grandpa......"

"Don't say more!"

"Don't make any noise!" Hua Mu roared with tears on her face, "Do you think Mulan doesn't want to buy good ones?" The military post sent tens of thousands, which one in Huaishuo didn't receive it? There are people everywhere who buy saddle bridles, and even kitchen knives are 30% more expensive.

She knew that Mulan went out to buy things, for fear that her daughter would be deceived, so she went out to inquire about the current market price. As a result, she went out happily, and when she came back, she was only sad.

The daughter wants to go out and work hard, they can't even give people a good weapon, it's a shame!

Yuan rarely got angry, and yelled at Father Hua like this, and even Hua Mutuo was frightened. He Mulan blinked a little embarrassed, in fact, it is not impossible to buy a better one, but when the chrysanthemum and thigh can only be kept the same, take the chrysanthemum and give up the thigh.

The thighs can also be cushioned with thick anti-friction, which ......

The flower father was yelled at by the flower mother, and the pointing expression on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the whole person fell down, dropped the saddle and went to the house.

Yuan also regretted it after yelling, turned around, hugged He Mulan and cried.

Yuan is actually a very good housekeeper, she is very calculating. But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

At this time, it was still the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the number of Rouran offenses was innumerable, Tuoba Tao had just ascended the throne for 5 years, and now he was just twenty-one years old, and the national policy of "attacking instead of defending" had not been a few years, and there was no great effect.

Hermulan traveled through a bygone era, when horses, cattle and sheep were sold at a terrible price, and riding equipment was almost cheaper than farm tools. That's because a large number of cattle and sheep have been captured in foreign wars for many years.

But now, large tracts of land that can be grazed in the grasslands still belong to someone else

[,! ]

He Mulan once disagreed with Tuobatao's national policy of "raising war with war" in his heart, thinking that he was a poor soldier, but when she went back to the past, she looked at the depression in this Huaishuo City, where everyone was surrounded by walls, and the price was so high that the income of several years could not buy a good horse, and then she was a little ashamed of her arrogance.

Poverty is a disease. Maybe it's because Mulan was poor, so she has been sending things to the Adan family and the Qiu Lin family non-stop.

"Mother, don't cry. If something is not good, I will go to the enemy and take it. The Rouran people also rode horses, and I looked for those good horses to lead, and I looked for some good riding equipment to change into. Don't cry, I always have a way......"

She hugged Yuan at a loss, but found that she was crying louder.

History repeats itself, and Hermulan realizes that he has done something wrong.

When Mulan left, although the atmosphere was not very good, it was not so tragic.

In order to save some money and come out to buy some straw paper, the flower mother cried and yelled at the flower father, the pillar of the family found out that he was incompetent, and he was sad for many days, and the flower mother was eager to give her the flower brother's socks to wear away.

God knows, Brother Hua's feet are not as big as hers.

Although Mulan is long, her feet are only thirty-seven or eight yards. Father Hua's feet are very big, and Yuan had no choice but to take the skins of the family with a shy face to change the new boots for the small ones, and then come back to change them to Mulan.

The Montenegrin camp is in the north, and it is now set off, just before the time specified on the military sticker, so there is no time for the family to prepare.

In the past, the Hua family couldn't even bring Hu cakes and jerky to Mulan, so they could only make some hard cakes, boil a few eggs, and hang a few water bladders.

A child who is growing his body wants eggs when he sees them.

These eggs He Mullan later secretly stuffed them into Hua Mu Tuo.

Although He Mulan is a forensic doctor, he went to an ordinary medical school, and for the concept of military camp, in addition to military training, there is only Mulan's memory.

She thought that her biggest obstacle was probably taking a bath and washing herself every day, and there might be other difficulties, but if she took one step at a time, Mulan could get through it, and she should be able to.

Father Hua was stationed in Montenegro, and told him in detail how to get to Montenegrin City, how to take the military sticker to seek help from the post station and the military government, and what kind of convenience he could get.

These were valuable experiences that Hermulan listened very carefully.

Before dawn, the parents of the Hua family said goodbye to He Mulan. Because her family uses her daughter to serve in the army instead of her father, people who know each other will definitely notice that Hua's father is even ready for the military government to take people.

When He Mulan left, the whole family moved back to Huajiabao outside Huaishuo City, anyway, the family's fields were there, although they lived comfortably in their own courtyard, but after all, they were all relatives, and they would not take the initiative to poke out the matter.

According to Mulan's memory, not long after Mulan left home, the Hua family did move back to her hometown. Huaishuo is a place where the army is garrisoned, and Hua's father sometimes has to help train the troops, but once he receives the military sticker, the whole family goes to his hometown to seek relatives to take care of his wife and children, which is also a normal thing.

A qiē is very smooth, He Mulan is wearing men's clothes, riding a red horse, and on the road he met people who also went to the camp of Montenegro, and several people walked together, but after a few days, they arrived in Montenegrin City.

Black Mountain City is to defend the six towns and save Zài, and the six towns are to defend the Ping City, which are not far from each other. The desert is desolate, and there is nothing to play, so it is normal to walk fast with your eyes closed all the way.

When he arrived at the military mansion in Montenegro City, He Mulan took out his military sticker and entered the military mansion very smoothly.

When the military household arrives in a place, it is immediately necessary for the general to post it, so that it can be regarded as settled, otherwise the military post and the person have not reported to the military office, and it will be regarded as a deserter.

The big camp in this place is about to lack people, plus in the past few years, His Majesty has always said that he will wait to defeat the Xia Kingdom, and he will free up his hands to solve the problem of Rouran, because the camp of Montenegro has recruits every year, and the prince and uncle of Tuoba Tao even personally sat in the camp.

But after all, recruits are not as good as veterans, this place has a high death rate, and it is not easy to replenish recruits, but it is even more difficult for recruits to become veterans.

So when He Mulan came to "report", several generals who were dignitaries in the military palace every day immediately ran out with joy to see Hunting.

"I heard it's a centurion here? In your thirties? Ouch great, you can lead people when you get started! Recently, the recruits have been practicing and their cheeks are hurting! "

A general with a full beard on his face rushed to the door excitedly.

"Which is the flower arc? Come and meet the Lord! "

"Go, go, come and worship me! I'll give you the centurion as soon as I come! "

The two walked into the class room noisily, but saw a slender young man with a hairless face and a white appearance standing in the room, and his face suddenly collapsed.

What is this white-haired chicken?

Came to serve the creep?

"Who are you? Where's the flower arc?"

"Under Mulan, the son of the flower arc. My grandfather has a leg and foot injury, which is not conducive to walking, so I joined the army for my father."

This is a very normal thing in Xianbei, leaving an important labor force in the family, or sending out the most vulnerable men, others to keep branches or preserve the strength of the family, for the father to join the army, for the son to join the army, for the brother to join the army abound.

Thankfully, Mulan is neutral and has a hoarse voice, otherwise she would have been white and tender now. [,! Wait, if you look more feminine, you will be blasted out directly.

"Why is it that he is in the army for his father again! The one surnamed Di last time, the one who was neither male nor female, was also a substitute father, right? Now these men, once they have a home, they don't want to fight anymore! All cowards! "

The bearded general seemed to hate hairless mouths, so he turned around and left on the spot.

The rest of the generals stayed, and asked He Mullan if he could ride horses, shoot arrows, and how martial arts he was. He Mulan confidently said "Ju Jia", the general thought that He Mulan was also a young man with a heart higher than the sky, he always liked to be low-key, and he shook his head and left without saying anything.

In this way, He Mullan was still assigned to the new barracks, and it was not the second battalion of black and white, but only a place to live temporarily.

Although the recruits who have just entered the camp are all newcomers, there are also people who are strong in martial arts and have excellent skills. The new battalions in the army also have competitions before they are assigned, and those with high qualifications are often picked by generals who love talent and are slowly cultivated.

In her previous life, Mulan was mediocre in the competition for recruits to verify their martial arts, and Shan Zhiqi was because he had a cold when he first entered the camp and did not play well, so he didn't get any good reviews, and was sent to the black camp to start with all the newcomers.

But now it's different, now it's Hermulan who is bent on brushing up experience, getting equipment, and clearing customs quickly.

She put the jujube red horse into the stable of the army, carried the luggage, utensils, weapons and some trivial things on her back, and went to the place where the newcomers in Montenegro City were temporarily staying.

This is a huge room, like many TV shows, although there is no bed at this time, but there are still brick and stone kang platforms on both sides, so that many recruits can sleep in the "Chase Bunk".

Bitter cold outside the gate, cold at night can freeze the snot, this kang platform inside the fire, although because of the large area is not too hot, but compared to the outside is much better.

When they were really assigned to the barracks of the Black Mountain Battalion, they could only sleep in tents with the same fire, lying on the ground.

He wanted to sleep in his tent now.

She looked at the group of strong men who were walking towards her, showing ill intentions, and had been gearing up, and knew that she had encountered the scenes that often appeared in movies:

-- Rules for newcomers.

Who told her to look white and tender, and to carry so many things?

I don't know how Di Yefei who came first lived in the new barracks.

Thinking of what the general had just said, He Mulan shook his head slightly.

"I said new, your place is on the ground! See that over there? There's no place on the kang, so you can sleep for me...... Yes! "

He Mulan casually stretched out a foot and pressed him directly to the kang, letting out a scream.

Several people found out that this slender boy was a thorn, and immediately rushed up with a fierce scream.

When there was no battalion, there was no military regulation of "no competition with the army", this is the place that can test the recruits the most, and the head of the recruit battalion is also blind to them fighting each other, anyway, the strength of being able to sleep on the kang is not weak, which is also the first round of elimination.

These early ones want to take advantage, and there is no problem at all, after all, the army is also a society of the jungle.

It's a pity that they met the stronger Hermulan.

She dropped what she was holding, drew the whip from her waist, and with great strength, whipped the group like mules and horses.

The people who were struck by the whip all let out screams and swayed from side to side as if they had broken their bones, and at this moment Hermulan took the opportunity to take them down one by one, either with a knife or with a heavy fist.

After a while, the group of people who had come to stir up trouble were lying down in a wail, and He Mullan picked a clean section in the bunk, put all the luggage on it, and drew a large piece.

"Now, your place is on the ground."

She looked around in the shocked eyes of everyone, raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"Here, I want it."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

I don't know how Di Yefei who came first lived in the new barracks.

Recruit A: Sleep with me!

Recruit B: No, sleep with me!

Recruit C: You don't want to live anymore, you want to sleep with me!

It was a mess.

Di Yefei lifted the burden and found a clean place.

Di: Here, I want it.

Recruit: (nosebleeds) Okay......
