Huajiabao.

Hua Arc no longer needs crutches, can walk slowly on his own, get up early every morning and walk around Huajiabao, this period of recovery is very good.

This morning, Hua Arc came back from walking outside, just after washing up and eating breakfast, a burger hurriedly walked in with a proclamation full of words, hugged his fists and said: "Castle master, the government sent someone to send a military post!" ”

"Military post?" Hua Arc's face changed, and the chopsticks in his hand also fell, he hurriedly got up and grabbed the military post and unfolded it to take a quick look.

The military post is a conscription order, which just began to write the general process of the northern Rouran Koubian, the imperial court decided to recruit retired officers and soldiers to rush to the border of Woye Town and Huaishuo Town, and the next thing written is the list of retired officers and soldiers who are recruited this time, but all the famous people on the military post must rush to the specified place at the specified time to assemble and report.

Hua Arc found his name on the military post, the word "Hua Arc" is so eye-catching at the moment, he trembled involuntarily, and the blood flow rate in his body seemed to be accelerating, faintly boiling.

He remembered the situation of fighting the Rouran people in Mobei with his comrades many years ago, and the neighing of war horses, the roars of his comrades, and the screams of the enemy seemed to echo in his ears again.

Hua Arc suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his body fell backwards.

"Castle Lord, Castle Lord!" Frightened, Fortin and Hua Yuan quickly stepped forward to hold Hua Arc and helped him to the bed to lie down.

Soon, Hua Arc opened his eyes in the anxiety of the two, and Hua Yuan stomped his feet and shouted: "Oh, master, you scared me to death, thank God, you finally woke up!" ”

Hua Arc sat up with Hua Yuan's support, and instructed Hua Yuan's family: "Don't tell Mulan about the military post for the time being!" ”

At this time, Mulan's voice came from outside: "Grandpa, I already know!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mulan walked into the room from the outside and complained: "Grandpa, didn't Doctor Zhang say it, you can't be excited!" ”

Hua Mulan picked up the military post in her hand and said, "Grandpa, now that you look like this, how can you still be on the battlefield?" It's okay if you don't take this military post! ”

Hua Arc got off the bed with Hua Yuan's support, took the crutches from the burger's hand and walked out of the room, and several people came to the courtyard.

Hua Arc said as he walked: "You can say that it is light, and if you can't get on, you have to go up!" Our family is a generational soldier, every time the military post comes down, we have to send a person to join the army, the father dies and the son succeeds, this is not a question of whether you want to go on or not, but the military post must be on as soon as it comes, and when the time comes, it will be regarded as a deserter! ”

Hua Mulan said with a worried face: "But your body has just recovered a little, and it is difficult to even get on the horse, how to fight?" ”

Hua Arc pretended to be relaxed, waved his hand with a smile and said: "Don't worry, didn't the military post say that this time I went to defend the border town, and I usually won't go out to fight." Besides, if Grandpa doesn't go, do you want your little brother to go? He's only ten years old, how can he get there? ”

"But even if you don't let the little brother go, you can't let the grandpa go, my daughter heard that Woye Town and Huaishuo Town are both north of Yinshan, and it is thousands of miles away to Yinshan, with your current physical condition, I am afraid that you will fall ill if you can't go far, and my daughter is not at ease!" Mulan's emotions are a little out of control.

There was no other way for a while, and the Hua family was full of sadness.

Hua Mulan got up and said, "Grandpa, if it really doesn't work, let's spend money to hire someone to go instead of you, as long as we can hide the inspection of the government, it's worth it for us to pay more money?" ”

Hua Arc sighed: "Mulan, you think things are too simple, it would be good if spending money could solve the problem, do you think the government will not prevent the soldiers from hiring someone to replace you?" If we all spend money to hire someone to replace us, we will all be scared away when the time comes, and the government will not hold those people accountable, but will only trouble us soldiers, understand? ”

It's useless to even pay someone for an alternative, what else can you do? Mulan couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

For a few days, the Hua family did not stop sighing, seeing that the time for Hua Arc to report was getting closer and closer, the sadness on the Hua family's face became heavier and heavier.

That night, Mulan suddenly had an idea, she got up, put on her clothes, and knocked on her parents' door with an oil lamp: "Grandpa, Auntie, my daughter has something to tell you, open the door!" ”

The door opened soon, and Hua Yuan asked, "Mulan, why can't you talk about it tomorrow at such a late hour?" ”

Hua Mulan walked into the room and saw Hua Arc lying on the bed with her clothes on, and walked over slowly.

Hua Arc Fox said suspiciously: "Mulan, what's wrong?" ”

Hua Mulan put the oil lamp on the table and said to Hua Arc: "Grandpa, my daughter has thought about it, you can't go, your brother can't go, and you can't spend money to hire someone to replace you, so let your daughter go!" ”

"You?" Hua Arc opened her mouth wide in shock, stretched out her hand and pointed at Hua Mulan and said, "You, you, how can you go to the battlefield as a girl?" My Great Wei is not cowardly enough to let a woman go into battle to kill the enemy! Besides, the army is full of men, it is too inconvenient for a woman to blend into a bunch of men, once it is found that it is a daughter, some commanders and generals are very taboo about women mixing into the army, and there are also those who are worried about disturbing the morale of the army, once discovered, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Hua Mulan was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will be careful, I won't let others find out that it is my daughter, with my daughter's martial arts, you don't have to worry about your daughter being bullied!" ”

"Even if it were that, it wouldn't work!" Hua Arc frowned and waved his hand, his mood was very low.

Hua Mulan's temper came up, and she said loudly: "Now there is only one way, otherwise what would you do?" My daughter can't watch you or your brother go into battle to die! If you go to join the army, your daughter will have to get married sooner or later, and there will be only A-Niang and her younger brother left in the family. Sooner or later, the Hua family will be defeated! If you let your daughter go to the army, you stay in charge of the family's affairs, and let him take over when your younger brother grows up, and the Hua family will not be defeated! ”

Hua Yuan stood aside and didn't know what to do, just wiped his tears vigorously.

At this time, Hua Xiong rubbed his eyes and yawned and walked in and said, "Grandpa, Auntie, Sister, what's wrong with you?" Why did you quarrel? ”

Hua Mulan hurriedly pushed him out: "It's okay, Sister is discussing things with Grandpa, go back to the room and rest!" ”

"Oh, then I'll go back to sleep!" Hanao rubbed his eyes and turned around and walked out of the room again.

Hua Arc looked at her ten-year-old son, remembered what her daughter said just now, sighed, and softened her tone: "If you go to join the army, how will Junsheng explain it?" Besides, you don't know how long it will take you to go, and if you don't come back for several years, do you want him to wait for you all the time? After all, you are his unmarried wife, and you have to ask his consent for this! ”

Hua Mulan was relieved when she saw that Grandpa was relieved, but she didn't know how to tell Zhao Junsheng about it.
