Mulan Has No Elder Brother

Chapter 16: Practice martial arts Mulan

Views:

After the Fourteen Knights left, Brother Hua found a lot of silk flakes from the pyre at home.

Silk wadding is easier to exchange for goods than cloth, because silk wadding can be made into silk wadding paper, or spun into silk thread, it can also be pasted on bamboo windows as a window covering to block the wind and cold, and it can also be filled and used as a silk cotton padded jacket.

If the cloth is stuffed into the firewood, it will naturally be discovered by the Hua Mulan family. However, silk flocks are soft and thin dogs. They are backlogged into small balls of silk flocks, which are tightly stuffed between the slits of the firewood. If it wasn't for the younger brother Hua getting up early in the morning to chop wood, he probably hadn't found these things stuffed in the pyre.

Brother Hua found out all the silk flakes, carefully removed the dust on them, and put in about three or four baskets.

These three or four baskets of silk flakes are probably enough for their family to live for a few years.

When younger brother Hua moved the basket out of the house to find his elder sister, He Mulan was practicing martial arts in front of the house.

Hua Mulan's memory was not left to He Mulan very clearly. He Mulan seriously doubted whether Hua Mulan was wearing the same clothes as her, so she only left the memory in her brain instead of her soul. If this is the case, she sincerely wishes this General Hua to live the life she wants most.

Despite this, her body memory was completely inherited by He Mulan. This probably reflects from the side why many people have "simple minds and developed limbs", because the body is much easier to operate than the brain. At least if you work hard, your body will definitely get better, but if you have a low IQ, no matter what Efforts to improve IQ are also twice the result with half the effort.

The reason why He Mulan practiced martial arts was very simple. It was neither to become a master of invincibility, nor for health, but to keep in shape.

Yes, for that simple reason.

She was a doctor in later life, and she was a forensic doctor who had dissected many corpses. Naturally, she knew the structure of the human body very well.

At the same weight, fat is more than three times the volume of muscle, which is why many athletes and bodybuilders become obscurely fat once they stop exercising.

He Mulan guessed that the reason why Aunt Hua Mulan never came was because her body fat was too low, which caused her exercise-type irregularities.

This is a common problem among athletes, probably because Mulan joined the army when she was supposed to be in Guishui, and then the intense training made her lose weight quickly, and the fat on her body turned into muscle. Often times, improper diet can lead to lower body fat.

Hua Mulan is a typical tall figure. If placed in modern times, she must be one of the best models. Mulan has no fat on her body, and her streamlined muscles allow her to have the softness of a woman and the strength of a man at the same time.

But all of this has to be based on "Even though Hua Mulan is discharged from the army, he still hasn't slackened his training."

In order to prevent her idol from having a legend of "general getting fat" in addition to "general disarming" and "beautiful white head", He Mulan could only get up early every morning to do a series of exercises, including boxing, Practicing swordsmanship, jogging around rural ridges, etc.

In order to maintain the image of an idol, He Mulan also worked hard.

If it wasn't for every time she saw her carrying a bucket to fill the water tank at home, or chopping a few pieces of firewood, Hua Xiaodi would show a look, "Oh my God, I actually let my sister do this kind of thing, I'd still die." With the expression on his face, He Mulan really wanted to fill up the water in several large water tanks at home, and then split the wood into firewood.

At this moment, He Mulan was carrying the famous sword "Rock" left by Hua Mulan and made a stabbing action.

The so-called "rock" is actually an epee that is not popular in the army. Among the melee weapons, Erlang in the military likes the saber the most, and even those who use swords are all long swords. After all, slashing is more labor-saving than stabbing, and its lethality is greater.

The rock is a special sword. According to legend, it used to be the sword of a fierce general during the Three Kingdoms period. Because of its incomparable strength, he felt that it was too light after using many swords. An epee, an ordinary sword, that breaks when touched.

There are different opinions as to who this fierce general is. But this sword is really heavy, and in the end, it accidentally fell into the hands of Hua Mulan, and it became a well-deserved famous weapon.

People who are not strong enough to use it are afraid that they will use it as something like a steel rod or a mace.

Hua Mulan is not a ranger on the rivers and lakes, and she does not know those exquisite techniques of fighting, but her strength has made her swordsmanship go the way of "breaking through skill with strength", and few people dare to confront her head-on.

What's more, although "Rock" is not outstanding in sharpness, it is an extremely strong sword, which is suitable for her path.

This kind of open and close military swordsmanship, people like Hua Mulan can only practice it to complement each other.

"Sister, I found it in the pyre... ah!" Little brother Hua screamed in horror at the sudden appearance of the sword tip from his nose, and the silk in his hand also dropped, and it was ridiculously scattered around.

If it weren't for the fact that Brother Hua was a thin man rather than a petite beauty, this fluttering fluttering, the moment when the two stared at each other, would have been a very good costume scene.

He Mulan quickly got out of the realm of "entering martial arts", and apologetically pulled up and sat on the ground, looking at her younger brother Hua in a panic.

"I'm sorry, but I fell into a trance by practicing martial arts. You shouldn't suddenly break into my yard. Grandpa should have told you wow."

Hua Mutuo couldn't speak, he didn't dare to say that he was dazzled by the sudden appearance of so many threads, so he could only show his usual sorry smile and smirk at his sister.

"Oh, I forgot."

He Mulan shook the tip of the sword, wrapped the silk flakes scattered in the air around the sword, and looked in front of him.

"What is this? Cotton batting? Have we ever grown cotton in our family?"

"No, it only exists in the south of cotton. This is silk flock, which is formed by the floating silk on the surface of the silkworm cocoon." Brother Hua shook his head, "Sister, this is what those adults left in the pyre the day before yesterday."

The figures of the fourteen young knights suddenly appeared in He Mulan's mind.

When were they stuffed into the pyre? Her heart warmed and softened when she thought of the way the fourteen knights secretly took out the silk flakes and stuffed them into the pyre.

He Mulan looked at Brother Hua's admiration, and smiled softly: "Since that's the case, it's almost New Year's Eve, give your daughter-in-law these silk flakes and ask her to make some new winter jackets."

Hua Mutuo was startled.

"Huh? Do you use silk floss? No need, last year, my sister just gave us new fur coats, and this year I used silk floss again. It's a waste."

Silk wool has always been used by the Han people or wealthy families to fill their jackets. These ordinary people use thick cloth to make winter clothes in winter, and they are very warm when they wear furs outside.

In winter, you don’t need to do farm work, and you can feed livestock at most. You don’t need to dress so well in the house.

"I've been tired of you these days. If you think it's a waste of silk, then let's do it with you." Seeing that Younger Hua had something to say, He Mulan took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the sweat. While putting away the sword, he said indifferently, "Since they are well-intentioned, you can keep it. Sister is not short of money."

Seeing that my sister really gave him all these baskets of silk flakes, Brother Hua cheered and happily carried a few baskets back to the house to look for Mr. Fang.

They were reluctant to wear cotton-padded cotton clothes, but their child was only over two years old, so it was nothing to spend some silk.

What's more, He Mulan immediately replenished the chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and grains at home after the Yulin Langs left. This winter is still very good. These silk flakes are equivalent to what she gave to her brother's family.

He Mulan said that she was not short of money, it was not polite, she really was not short of money now.

Although He Mulan didn't know why the boxes that the emperor rewarded her were half empty, but she often ran around the market, and naturally knew that the rest of the cloth and gold and silver jewelry would be enough for her to live comfortably throughout her life.

In fact, she had always thought that the missing items were distributed to the Hua family, but the memory she occasionally found later showed that the Hua parents and Hua Mu did not accept Mulan's cloth, gold and silver, and only took some easily damaged ones. Grain and hides.

Hua Mulan spent some money on building the mansion, and often bought some clothes for her parents. She ate at her brother's and parents' house, and the food was replaced by rice, noodles and seasonings that she occasionally bought from the market, and it didn't cost much at all.

These empty boxes had become a mystery, and He Mulan didn't bother to care about them.

It wasn't her money.

'

midnight.

Although it's not her money, it doesn't mean that she can tolerate these little thieves coming to steal her things again and again!

Didn't the last "haunted" scare them off? Dare to come again!

When she heard the movement in the warehouse next door, she sat up, hurriedly put on a fur fur, put a short blade in her waist, and passed through the door connecting the bedroom and the warehouse.

When He Mulan entered the warehouse, the group of "rangers" had just quietly loosened the copper locks that had been replaced by He Mulan, and came in with a few tall and thin men. , with curly hair and long braids, with a small Buddha statue earring hanging on his left ear, there is a lingering hostility on his face, and he is not a gentle person at first glance.

When He Mulan saw this man come in, she knew that this was by no means a mere theft by a ranger, and those tall and thin men would never be rangers.

Mulan's memory told her who these people were.

Or rather, what happened.

So He Mulan couldn't care less about covering up her figure, she turned from the corner, pulled out her short blade, and slashed towards the curly-haired man at the head. The enemy was dark and I was clear. Just as the curly-haired man was about to bend over to enter the door, a short blade appeared in front of him. He immediately turned sideways to avoid it, and took a step back.

He turned around again with a machete in his hand.

The ranger behind him was so frightened that his legs trembled, but the other curly-haired men stared at the rangers who were scared away by the "ghost" last time with killing eyes, and they only dared to stand stiffly. Behind.

He Mulan took a few steps forward, slammed the door with his backhand, and forced them out.

Forcing them out is because there are so many of them that fighting in a small place is not good for her.

Things will never be the same now.

"Mulan?" The curly-haired man at the head asked in a very jerky Xianbei language.

"When did the Lu Shuihu people do the trick?" He Mulan raised her eyebrows and glanced at the man in his early twenties.

"Since you know I'm Hua Mulan, why don't you run?"
