Peanut died, very tragically.
He was originally a stubborn temperament. Maybe he already knew in his heart that he would not survive, and he did not want to harm others. He brought this group of Rouran people to an empty tent and wanted to take the opportunity to run away, but to no avail, he was killed in the end. .
Peanut is not a weak person. He can grow up in a death camp and kill Rouran's guards for rebellion. The murder technique he has learned from the dead is not bad.
These people wanted to kill Peanut, but they were killed by Peanut with a desperate blow. In the end, these people probably hated him for killing a few people, or the fear and negative emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts always had to find an outlet. Peanuts were tortured.
"Why are people so cruel?"
At He Mulan's strong request, Peanut's body was returned.
It was no longer a corpse, it might be more appropriate to say that it was a broken remains.
"They didn't have any grudges before. If they were to hide for a while, even if they were found by us, they might not be guilty of death. What good would killing Peanut do to them?"
He Mulan's eyes were blank and she muttered to herself.
When these people escaped, they were unarmed. When they left, they took the guards' weapons and table knives. The peanuts were tossed too finely. Except for He Mulan, who was proficient in human body structure, no one knew which piece was where. one piece.
Not to mention Qiulin and Mo Zhen, he was a veteran who was used to seeing mountains of corpses and flesh. When he saw the pile, he couldn't help but beat these Rouran people to half death.
Helian Mingzhu vomited as soon as she saw Peanut's current appearance.
Different from others, Helian Pearl and Peanut took care of He Mulan together. Even if they didn't have a deep friendship, they had become familiar with each other for so many days. It was just that in a blink of an eye, a living person became like this. I have seen the headless corpses in the row of Wuying Hall, but I can't bear it.
It's not hard to imagine how shocked He Mulan would be when he faced all this.
He Mulan has never felt that she has any charm worth dying for, and it's okay for her guards to protect the main general, but she is really not too enthusiastic about Peanuts, at least not as much as the previous Hua Mulan did to Chen Jie. as kind.
She comes from a country where there are no slaves at all, and most of the obedience relationship between people is a contract called a "contract". A complete master-slave relationship does not exist, and even parents cannot say what I have to do with you.
So she was at a loss for her dozens of "slaves".
She simply didn't know how to take on the future of so many people.
When she was in the Montenegro camp, she could also find a way out for them with the help of the military tent, so that they could support themselves. Peanuts is good at martial arts, has a restrained personality, is good at riding horses, and can speak soft and Xianbei dialects. The most important thing is him Being young, He Mulan couldn't bear to follow a group of adults to go to Gaoche to swing a sledgehammer, so he kept him by his side to do some chores, as for letting him go to the battlefield...
She wouldn't do such an unconscionable thing to let a child under the age of sixteen become cannon fodder.
He Mulan knew that her thoughts should be shown to Peanut intentionally or unintentionally, whether it was her ignoring his expectations every time she left him in the camp behind him, or when he asked him when he would be able to follow him to battle with him. The perfunctory answer "when you grow up" shows her attitude that she doesn't want him to take risks.
He took care of Yueying and Dahongma for her, organized her clothes and luggage, communicated and communicated with other slaves under his name regularly, and did things similar to servants.
But it can still be seen from his desire to get a war horse that this child hopes to prove himself on the battlefield in the future.
He Mulan wanted to wait for him to grow stronger and learn more martial arts from her, so he tried to find a way to ask for grace, so that he could become a free body like a ghost, and go for his own career.
But before everything could wait, he just died in vain.
To die in a little corner no one knows about, in such a way.
For most of his life, all human society inflicted on him was mutilation. What he saw Rouran, everything he saw, was always just the cruel appearance of reality and the strict hierarchy in front of him. The "big men" around him contacted him just to achieve the purpose of persecuting him, to make him work hard and become a qualified cannon fodder.
He Mulan had talked to him once, and since he lost his mother when he was young, he had never heard a friendly word or seen a friendly face once. From pain to pain, he gradually came to a conclusion:
"I am an extra person in this world, and I have no other weapon to retaliate against this world except hatred."
So when the Rouran wanted them to make one last sacrifice, he broke out, smashed the guard to death with shackles like crazy, and started a rebellion against this ruthless world.
He Mulan was not a kind girl like Gu Qing with a kind and considerate personality. Before she passed through, she was indifferent, could stand loneliness, and was not liked by people.
She doesn't like children and is afraid of trouble, so even though Peanut looks like an adult in this age of extremely short life expectancy, in her eyes, she's just an underage child.
Due to the weakness of He Mulan's character, she never knew how to get along well and intimately with Peanut. In addition to taking care of his food and clothing, giving him a horse and allowing him to have his own name, He Mu. Lan felt that she was not even closer to Yueying than to him.
She never thought that Peanut would die for her.
How could she be such a poor master worth dying for her
The Xianbei people have long abandoned the backward system of burial of the master and slave, and only on the battlefield, if the master is about to die, the personal soldiers must be punished together.
Peanuts are just slaves, and they do not need to be buried with them, but will be passed on to her family and become their slaves.
He Mulan thought of those military slaves who existed in Mulan's life but never appeared.
According to Chen Jie, those military slaves belonged to Hua Mulan for a long time, but Hua Mulan never used them. She just placed them in Heishan City, and was taken care of by an old friend who regularly sent them some property, so that they could be like Free men generally live.
The identity of freedom, Hua Mulan never gave them from the beginning to the end, or in other words, Hua Mulan, who was disarmed and returned to the field, did not have the ability to release the contract of military slaves from the army, so they could only continue to live in this way.
What the slaves thought, and what Mulan thought, no one knows.
Those slaves still have infinite possibilities and have the right to have children, but the peanuts lying here like broken toys can no longer have any future.
"General Hua, I know that the army calls you 'Xuanyi Mulan', but now you are injured, and your slave is too..." Qiu Lin Mo Zhen couldn't say "too broken", so he could only pause and continue. Said: "I think you should not worry about it, after taking care of your body..."
Now that Rouran has surrendered, he can't even say the words "kill a few more Rouran people to avenge him". After being dumb for a while, he can only smile bitterly.
"This child is really tough, and I'm starting to feel pity. Forget it, just tell me what General Hua wants, and I'll help you!"
Even if she really wanted to sew the child up, he helped!
Big deal piece by piece!
He Mulan knew what they were thinking. Known in the Montenegro camp for being "a psychic", he always carries a touch of mystery when being mentioned.
But she herself knows that she has no psychic ability, and yes, it is nothing more than the ability to piece together.
They thought they would piece together the peanuts and bury them.
"Burn him, please leave the ashes to me."
He Mulan closed his eyes.
"The weather is too hot and the corpses left for too long will cause a plague. The corpses that died in the army and remained in the camp should be cremated."
"Huh? You don't… "
Seeing her so sad, he thought she would collect the body for him.
"I took my comrades to appease my comrades and family members, and to protect their dignity and property. Peanut's parents died early, and his former companions... should not feel sorry for him. He has only one war horse, and he died. After that, it belongs to me, and I don't have to worry about someone taking his things."
"Although I'm sad, I'm seriously injured, and there's only so much I can do, I can't just watch him rot..."
He Mulan explained feebly that the burden on her conscience had become an invisible pressure, making her heart feel like a heavy stone.
It is impossible to suture and identify the corpse with one hand. She doesn't have the ability to bury the corpse at all.
If the person Peanut values most and is willing to dedicate her life to is her, then she will always be with him as long as she is alive.
hateful!
She helped so many comrades, and in the end, she couldn't even deliver her savior's last journey!
"Then... I put him... "
Qiulin Mozhen glanced at it and couldn't help sighing.
"Then I sent someone to deal with it?"
He Mulan didn't like hearing the word "handle", but she could only nod her head.
"It's hard work, if you can, find a shaman to read for him."
This kid is a shaman.
Because the shaman had touched the spirit for his mother.
Qiulin Mozhen found a few soldiers to carry "Peanut" away. Seeing that He Mulan couldn't keep his head up, he hesitated and said:
"According to my Xianbei clan law, peanuts are your property. These Rouran people have damaged your property, so they are yours."
"How to deal with it in general?"
He Mulan raised her eyes.
"If I were from Wei and killed the male servant, I would have to compensate five cows. But these Rouran people became captives, and they must have no cows. If they were sent back to China, they would all become slaves. Slaves kill slaves, you can do whatever you want. Now that you are the main general, it doesn't matter if you kill a few Rouran people who offended you."
Qiulin Mozhen is a typical Xianbei people. After the war, it is common to capture people and buy and sell people. He cherishes the lives of his children, which does not mean that he also treats these Rouran slaves as human beings. When it comes to "killing", he looks normal. look.
"Five cows, huh, a human life is only worth five cows?"
He Mulan laughed sarcastically.
"What do you mean, even if I kill these people, I just need to pay for some cows in the army?"
"You don't even have to pay for the cattle. I'll make a record here with the army and say that they died of illness."
Qiulin Mozhen had the intention to befriend Hua Mulan, and he said it very simply.
He Mulan originally wanted to dismember these people by five horses and slash them with thousands of knives, so as to comfort Peanut's spirit in the sky, but after hearing that Qiu Lin Mozhen counted human lives with cattle, she suddenly felt that making them die in the same way as Peanut was a flattery. them.
Such brutal people should not be allowed to die so easily.
"General Qiulin, among the slaves, which one is in the worst situation?"
He Mulan found that her heart was not completely glamorous, and she couldn't help but turn cold.
For peanuts, but also for his sinister humanity.
"People are the worst. Whenever the enemy charges and sends heinous people to disrupt the enemy's formation, it is a people's obstruction. I don't know if there are any people's obstructions in the Montenegro camp, but the Yulin army does."
Qiulin Mozhen vaguely guessed what He Mulan was thinking, and sighed for He Mulan's friendship with Peanut, "But it's not good for them to be a hindrance. They are not a heinous crime, and they are prone to change..."
If people are dying to fight back and kill each other, they will make mistakes before the battle, so these people are afraid that they will not be able to do it.
"Intentional homicide, if the circumstances are bad, can be sentenced to death."
He Mulan murmured words that Qiu Lin Mozhen couldn't understand, and waved his hands weakly.
"They want to turn me into such a monster. I can't let them do it. Peanuts can't die in vain. I don't want such slaves. Please kill them before the cremation place of Peanuts. It's revenge."
"It's that simple?"
Qiulin Mo was stunned.
He also thought that according to her sadness, how could she feel relieved if she had to be abused.
"People can't be resurrected from the dead, and peanuts can't live no matter what."
He Mulan said indifferently.
"Kill them. Thinking about them for a moment is an insult to Peanuts."
Qiulin Mozhen went out inexplicably, but he was also annoyed that these people had escaped into He Mulan's king's tent, adding so many troubles, and he had already made up his mind that it would not be easy for them to die.
It's just that these people died miserably at the cremation place of peanuts. Although it was not due to He Mulan's instruction, it would probably be counted on Hua Mulan's head.
It's just that the status of Rouran's captives is lower than that of these generals' private slaves, and no one will be stupid to speak for them, nor will they feel that there is something wrong with what they have done.
Slaves are nothing more than "raw mouths".
Although it is a pity that Peanut died, most people talk about him, not his loyalty, but Mulan's love.
This is really an ironic thing.
Those who died were not praised, but those who survived only by the sacrifice of others, because of their hypocritical efforts, became those who valued love and justice.
At this moment, He Mulan was already exhausted physically and mentally.
***
"General Hua, why don't you eat something?" Helian Mingzhu turned around and left after witnessing the tragic death of the little eunuch that day, and has been a little afraid to face He Mulan.
Especially Peanut sacrificed for He Mulan, and saved He Mulan's life before Helian Pearl's rescue arrived. Although she left at that time was the best thing to do after consideration, but if He Mulan was really at that time. was poisoned...
When she thought of that possibility, she felt even more guilty.
'It must be that I don't like Mulan enough, so I can walk so coldly...'
She couldn't help but ask herself.
'If my brother was inside, I would definitely try my best not to go in. Even if it's not my brother, it's Tuoba Tao...'
Hey, what is she thinking
How could she think such a thing at this time!
Helian Mingzhu concealed his panic and said nonsense: "Peanut must think this is the best, as a slave, being able to sacrifice for the master is also an honor. You will get more generals and slaves, and there will be no undead..."
"You think so too?"
He Mulan had no appetite at all, but when she heard that this woman who had always shown an understanding side would actually say such things, she suddenly interrupted her words.

"Think slaves are not human beings?"
"Huh? I can't say that, but slaves are indeed not as valuable as their masters' lives..."
As one of the largest slave owners in the Xia Kingdom, Helian Mingzhu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she said.
"Zhao Ming, in my eyes, you and Peanut are no different."
He Mulan looked into Helian Mingzhu's eyes and let her see that she was not lying.
It was just this statement that made Helian Mingzhu's face turn pale all of a sudden, and sobbed and said, "You...because I am a palace servant, you also treat me as..."
