Chapter 499: The First Man
There were a few swiping sounds, the guards showed their blades one after another, and the people around them screamed, and some even shouted: "I'm going to kill someone!" ”
Huo Roufeng waved her hand, telling the guards to calm down for a while, she had already seen the person coming clearly.
The man was in rags, his hair was unkempt, and his face was so dirty that he couldn't see clearly.
Seeing that the man was about to rush in front of her, Hua Siniang kicked the man to the ground, she didn't use any strength, the man just fell, and soon got up.
But instead of standing up, he lay on the ground and shouted hoarsely: "You are the official who came to recruit female soldiers, I am here to be a soldier!" ”
The voice was hoarse, but it was a woman, and it was a woman.
Huo Roufeng glanced at Hua Siniang, Hua Siniang stepped aside, but she still stared at the woman kneeling on the ground.
Huo Roufeng slowly walked in front of the woman, and she said, "Raise your head." ”
The woman's eyes fell on the shiny calfskin boots in front of her, and she slowly raised her head, and looked up from below, and saw the woman wearing a large red arrow sleeve.
She ran all the way, all with stubbornness, and only when she saw someone wearing silk and satin coming out of Li Dahu's house, she rushed over without thinking about it.
This must be the official who came to recruit female soldiers, and this is the third time she has entered the city.
The first two times were with my father, to send medicinal materials to the crude medicine shop in the city, and after walking for a whole day, I could exchange it for one or two dollars of silver, and when my father was happy, he would buy four cornmeal buns with dates at the street entrance, and give her half of them, and my father ate one, and the remaining two and a half were brought to the two brothers at home.
Her father is a well-known and capable person in the village, and some people in the village have collected medicinal herbs, and they all ask her father to come to the town to sell them, so her family's life is the best in the village.
The eldest brother has already married, that is, the girl in the same village, the second brother has not yet married a daughter-in-law, and his father often says that saving enough money for the second brother to marry a daughter-in-law is the biggest thing.
So she got up early and worked greedily in the dark, went up the mountain to collect medicine and cut wood, went home to spin and weave, and as long as she could make money, she did it all.
A while ago, I heard from the people in the village that someone came to recruit female soldiers, and after becoming a soldier, they followed the female general, and a female soldier was given ten taels of silver, and there was also a salary in the future.
Her father was moved, although the recruitment of a girl who has reached the age of fifteen, she is only fourteen years old, but the girl who grew up in the mountains since she was a child has a strong body, and she looks similar to fifteen, besides, even her father has almost forgotten how old his daughter is, and outsiders don't know, and then it will be fifteen, can the conscription officer still not believe it?
Ten taels of silver can not only marry the second brother to a daughter-in-law, but also build a few adobe houses, buy a few little pig babies, and buy three acres of land.
She knows that soldiers have to fight, and people will die when they fight, but she doesn't know what female soldiers have to do, she can't fight, but she can make fires, cook, sew clothes, and once beat jackals with a firewood knife when she went up the mountain to collect medicine.
Dad said that he wanted to send her to be a soldier, so let's go, I work at home, and I also work as a soldier, not to mention that I can marry a daughter-in-law for my second brother.
But two days later, my father changed his mind again, when her father came to the town to sell medicinal herbs, someone proposed to his father, the man was collecting firewood for a large family, and two wives died in succession.
Her father didn't agree at first, because the people in the town said that the man was drunk and crazy, and one of his previous wives was pushed to death by him after he got drunk, and the other was that after he was drunk again, he was stripped naked and thrown into the snow in the yard in the cold winter, and froze to death, and one of them was pregnant when he died.
That person just wanted to marry a yellow flower girl who was good enough to have children, and he didn't even talk about his family a few times in the town, so he thought of buying a wife in a poor ravine.
Hearing her father say that he wanted to send his daughter to the army in exchange for ten taels of silver, the man said that he would also give ten taels, but her father did not agree, and asked for fifteen taels, but the man did not follow, and finally negotiated with twelve taels.
When she heard this, she hugged her father's leg and begged him not to sell her to that man, but her father kicked her away, and made her two brothers gag her mouth and tie her up, and she was quietly sent to the town the next day.
On the night of marriage, the man came in drunk, in his thirties, dark and fat, with pockmarks on his face, she was frightened, and took advantage of the man's drinking too much to push him down and escape from the man's house.
She didn't dare to go back to her parents' house, and when her father and brother saw her, they would definitely tie her up.
She hid in the field outside the town for a few days, and yesterday she was very hungry, and she smeared her face, and went to the town to beg for food, and heard that the official who came to recruit female soldiers lived in the house of Li Dahu in the town.
Soldier!
She knew that the officers and men who came to recruit were very powerful, and no one dared to provoke her, her father and brother did not dare to provoke, and men did not dare to provoke.
Even if they knew she was a soldier, they wouldn't have come to take her back.
At that time, there was only one thought in her mind, to be a soldier, to be a soldier!
She was still lying on the ground, but she tried to raise her head, she wanted to make herself look a little more energetic, lest the official master refuse to ask her.
She recognized the official as a woman, very young and beautiful.
She was at a loss, she didn't know what to say, she just kept repeating "I want to be a soldier, I can do anything, I want to be a soldier, I can do anything......"
She spoke the local dialect, and Huo Roufeng has been here these days, and she can roughly understand it.
Hearing this, Huo Roufeng smiled slightly, she stretched out her hand in front of the dirty woman, and said word by word: "Okay, follow me to be a soldier." ”
The woman was stunned, looking at the white jade palm in front of her, she didn't know what to do for a while, but she knew that she could be a soldier, and this female officer asked her to be a soldier.
She didn't touch the hand, but kowtowed.
Huo Roufeng asked, "What's your name and where are you from?" ”
"My name is Orchid, it's Sandaowa, no, I'm not anywhere anymore, I don't have a home."
"That's it, the name of Orchid is not good, it's vulgar, let Jiu Ye give you a name", Huo Roufeng touched her chin and looked up at the blue sky, this is the first female soldier she recruited, the name is very important, Jiu Ye likes to take the name the most, she thought about it and said, "Then your surname is Lan, Lan Ying, the blue of the blue sky, the hero's Ying." ”
Many years later, Lan Ying remembers this day, and her life has completely changed since this day.
And that girl, who is like a teenager, is the one who changed her fate.
Huo Roufeng was very satisfied with her name, she walked past Lan Ying, greeted the gradually hot sun, and walked towards the street.
Conscription, with the first one, there is no second, there will be, everything will be there, the ninth master will have his own women's army.
