He Mulan knew that she was dreaming, or in other words, she was quickly experiencing Hua Mulan back then.
Therefore, even though it was very painful, she closed her eyes tightly and endured all this with a single thought.
***
Contrary to what most people imagine, Mulan's military experience was not glamorous from the beginning.
Hua Mulan has shown a kind of strength that is different from ordinary people since she was a child. This strange talent can be said to be a "Godsend" for Xianbei people, but it is a pity that it appeared in Hua Mulan, who is a woman.
When she was still three or four years old, she could easily hold her sister who was four years older than herself, and this strength became more and more obvious as she grew up, so that the whole Hua family had a very strong attitude towards Mulan. different.
Her sister was a little afraid of her, and she didn't dare to go too far in arguing with her since she was a child. Her father is a typical Xianbei soldier, and he thinks this is the best gift from God, so since Mulan was able to ride a horse, he began to exercise her riding and archery skills, and taught her the skills of fighting in the army, just in order to put on her body. The skills are passed on to her.
As for Mulan's mother, Yuan Shi, she quietly trusted someone to buy a loom.
"I'm going to learn this from tomorrow?" Hua Mulan looked at the loom in surprise, "How is this possible! How thin is this thread! I'll break it if I'm not careful!"
What she said was no exaggeration at all, she could chop wood and chop trees, but pick up the shuttle and bury her head between the looms
Does her family have so much money to buy wires for her
"I bought the loom just so that you wouldn't break the thread." Hua Mu rarely showed a very serious expression.
"You're getting stronger and stronger now, and you don't have a gauge on your hands. You washed the dishes the day before yesterday, and you broke a few of the bowls at home. Han women's weaving skills are to control their eyesight, hand strength and finger strength. Skill, from now on, you will weave two hours of cloth for me every day, when will you be able to weave a piece of cloth, and when will you go horseback riding!"
In this way, the incomparable Mulan, in order not to cause trouble because of her strength, learns the martial arts to maximize her strength, while learning to control her strength to the smallest weaving. Day by day, she gradually grew into a big girl.
A girl who can not only ride horses and shoot arrows, but also weave cloth and feed chickens.
Her life has been ordinary and unusual until "Last night, when I saw the military post, the Khan ordered a large number of troops. There are twelve volumes of the military book, and the volume has the name of the father."
Hua Mulan's younger brother is only ten years old, and her father is meeting the "up to forty-five, down to sixteen" recruitment age required by the military. However, his leg was injured, and it was so painful in winter that he couldn't even walk. To drag such a body to fight would undoubtedly be killing himself.
In the military households where the Xianbei people have been in the army for generations, it is a very shameful thing to not have a son. That means that the glorious inheritance of your family will soon be cut off, your military household will be stripped, your fields will be reclaimed, you will start paying taxes, and start working all day in your fields like the Han people, in exchange for Back to eat a little bit.
Hua Huo is very lucky, his family already had a son;
He was unfortunate again, because he had not waited for his son to grow up to be a talent, and he had to join the army again.
Watching her father go to death was extremely painful for the young Hua Mulan.
She knew she was different since she was a child, but she didn't know why God gave her so much strength.
At that moment, she knew.
Because "Grandpa has no eldest son, and Mulan has no eldest brother". Therefore, she wants to be the "eldest son" of the grandfather and the "eldest brother" of the younger brother.
Otherwise, why did God give her this ability so early
Finally, Hua Mulan took the leather armor and weapons handed down from her father, went to the market in Huaishuo to buy horses and riding equipment, and arrived at the military camp at the foot of the Montenegro one year before the time that the Khan required to arrive at the military camp.
The most terrible thing is not to fight, but when you are not ready, the war begins.
Hua's father, who has experienced countless wars, is well aware of the truth, and would rather his daughter endure a little more hardship and go to the military camp earlier, rather than let her die temporarily.
"You have to always remember that you are a woman. So, you can't be too outrageous, you can't be too brave, you can't show your great strength. You just need to survive." The voice of Hua's father still seemed to haunt her. ear. "As soon as you get the chance, you take a small injury, or go to the back at every opportunity. When the Khan wins, you'll find a way to get back on your feet. You're coming back..."
"Give me back alive!".
Because of keeping the promise of "coming back alive", Mulan's path to joining the army did not start with a blockbuster.
Like all the children of Xianbei military households, she foolishly held her armor and her horse, and was assigned to a battalion called "Black Four" and became a recruit.
Life in the army is undoubtedly very hard, but for the talented Hua Mulan, it is unexpectedly easy.
No anti-theft novel network
The day and night drills and the Rouran people who would harass her from time to time didn't cause her much trouble.
The most difficult thing is to maintain the terrible secret of being a woman, but also the pain that the powerful ability cannot be shown.
You can understand that when the training is over, your teammates take off their armors and lie on top of each other with their chests exposed, but you have to endure the sticky feeling on your body, pretending that you despise the dirt on the ground, and have to go back to the camp to lie down and suffer to the joke
Can you understand the feeling that a person who can get 100 in the test must endure only passing grades, and then see the feeling of silently looking at his 60-point test paper after seeing other children get 100 and accepting praise
Before that, even Hua Mulan didn't know that she was such a stoic person.
She got used to it little by little.
Gradually, Hua Mulan witnessed more and more battles, and gradually understood why Grandpa told her not to show her face.
She has seen too many young people who were born brave or longing for military exploits die under the arrows of Rouran. People with greater ability are used in more places, whether it is to investigate the military situation, attack enemy camps at night, or resist the attack of the Rouran people. These existences have always been looked up to in the army. The sieve is generally sifted over and over again, leaving only the real elite.
As for the ones left on the sieve.
... who can remember.
She has to go home and not be left on the sieve.
The Rouran people violated Dawei as if they were their own back garden. In a fortress like Montenegro that is often harassed, Hua Mulan has only been in Montenegro for half a year and has already experienced countless battles, big and small.
Due to deliberately concealing her strength, Hua Mulan has not shown extraordinary talent in martial arts, but her riding skills are indeed very good, which is a physical instinct that is difficult to hide.
So she was assigned to her "Black Fourth", which was a recruit camp that had not yet been assigned a specific camp, where Dawei trained and cultivated military households who had placed their hopes in the army.
They look forward to these recruits doing well in future battles.
For a long time, Hua Mulan's "mates" lived well, and even in the middle of the night, she would dig her feet while complaining that she was going to guard food and grass again today. .
Before she could feel the shyness of a woman and a man in the same room, she had already been hit by her companions snoring, grinding her teeth, picking her feet, and hiding under the quilt in the middle of the night, humming and chirping.
Barracks are such a nasty place.
Companions are also annoying.

A Shan Zhiqi is the "fire leader" of Mulan's fire. The military system of the Northern Wei Dynasty is that ten people serve as a "fire", cook and eat together in the same stove, and whenever they go out to battle, they will advance and retreat together.
Because he learned how to cook at home and is the oldest cavalry soldier in this "fire", Adan Zhiqi was designated as the fire chief in charge of cooking and chores.
He is also a descendant of the Xianbei military household, and comes from the Adan clan, a surname that is very common in Wuchuan town in the north.
The ancestors of the Adan clan have been in the army for generations. Once the Xianbei nobles or leaders are recruited, they must join the army to fight. The children of Adan's family can't know anything except fighting, and they have learned to carry knives and guns from birth. Once the most suitable man in the family dies in battle, it often means the downfall of a family.
A Shan Zhiqi was already twenty-five years old when he received the report from the army posted to the Montenegro camp. He has a four-year-old son in his family, who already has an after. His eldest brother died in battle years ago, so now it's his turn to be the man who continues to serve as a soldier in this room.
There are more men than women in Xianbei, especially in the six towns in the north, it is not uncommon for Xianbei men to still be bachelors when they are 20 years old. A-Dan Zhiqi's "brilliant resume" of having a wife and son has stimulated a lot of fellow fire mates, which is even more enviable than when he became a fire chief.
In the eyes of this "older" and "experienced" fire chief, Hua Mulan is a very strange and very gregarious companion.
He is not enthusiastic about the performance of daily riding and archery training and formation training. Even if he knows that these will help him a lot in surviving on the battlefield in the future, he often shows a kind of wandering in the sky.
He volunteered to sleep in the farthest corner of the tent. There were cracks in that place, and the wind was blowing all the year round. No one in the same fire wanted to go there and sleep on the floor, but he seemed to disapprove of sleeping for two or three months.
His riding skills are very good, but he is unwilling to race horses with his fellow soldiers in the army; his martial arts seem to be poor, but he is not like other Xianbei soldiers who return to the camp after training and feel tired like a dead pig, snoring and snoring. 's thunderous sound.
He seldom even spoke to them, nor to anyone else. In addition to the necessary daily training, Hua Mulan has always shown a taciturn and preoccupied look.
Companions of the same fire are actually very envious of Mulan.
They are all from Xianbei, they can only speak Xianbei dialect, and only a few can speak a little bit of Chinese such as "what's my name?". But this Hua Mulan's mother is a Han Chinese, and he is both proficient in Xianbei dialect and proficient in Chinese dialect.
In the army of the Great Wei Dynasty, the military advisors, counselors, documents, military doctors, and rear logistics officials were all Han people, and most of the soldiers who charged into the battle were the soldiers of the Xianbei and military households of various ethnic groups. Therefore, there are also a large number of interpreters in the military, who are responsible for translating languages for both sides.
In the early Northern Wei Dynasty, the biggest drawback of the army was not the lack of warriors who dared to die, but because of language barriers, sometimes there would be unclear command and management chaos.
Here, a stringed cavalryman who is proficient in both Xianbei and Chinese dialects, as long as his skills are not bad, he can climb quickly, not to mention that Hua Mulan can write some simple Chinese characters.
Xianbei people have no words. They have a natural awe for people who can write.
A'Dan Zhiqi knew that Hua Mulan must be hiding some of his abilities, but he didn't ask more.
After joining the army as a soldier, who doesn't have a story or two at home? Even he himself has a belly of his past.
Mulan is reluctant to say, there must be his reasons.
A Shan Zhiqi has been considerate and did not ask, until that day...
One day, a wind column suddenly appeared in the distance of the Montenegro camp. It ran across the grassland, wrapped in withered grass, dust, and all kinds of strange things, like a rotating black column, soaring into the sky and obscuring the sun.
The storm that suddenly blows in the desert is terrifying, and the endless gust of wind blows, as if the whole world can be swept into it. The Montenegrin Camp was established at the foot of the Montenegro. Even so, on the days when the strong winds came, all the soldiers had to put away their tents, and were shouted by the corpsmen to move everything that could be moved to a safer place. place to hide.
In such weather, the dust and gravel swept up by the strong winds dyed the sky a grayish-yellow, and the sun was dimmed. Even the bravest warriors could only walk with their heads lowered and their faces covered.
The world at this time is no longer the world of mortals, and everything has to be ordered by the wind.
A Shan Zhiqi, a hot man, was ordered to assist in moving the "Black Four" camp. These unlucky guys are doing hard work that other battalions can't avoid. Even Hua Mulan, who is as thin as a gust of wind, has to carry things with them on such a windy day. Move to the designated place.
A Shanzhiqi's other companions had already carried away a lot of things by shouting "Hey, hey," while he and Mulan stayed behind to continue dismantling the tent.
galla la la la...
Gu Feng ran across the empty camp and unreasonably began to shake the wooden pillar in front of A Shan Zhiqi.
The wooden pillar thicker than a human head suddenly fell down. A Shan Zhiqi, who heard the sound and turned back slowly, only saw the huge wooden pillar that was getting closer and closer and smashed down at him at an extremely fast speed.
'I am done. '
A Shan Zhiqi trembled violently.
At this time, he was squatting on the ground and untying the rope, and it must be too late to stand up and turn around and run.
Fear made his legs so numb that he couldn't move, his face was as white as white paper, and he could only close his eyes weakly.
The expected pain did not come.
He opened his eyes tremblingly.
What an incredible scene caught his eyes!
The thin and tall Hua Mulan supported the giant tree with both hands in the strong wind that seemed to tear her body apart.
The column, which required many warriors in the army to be erected together, tilted at a frightening angle as if it would crush his body at any time.
Mulan lifted the giant tree with both hands and opened her mouth.
The sound of his shouting with all his might came through the wind into his ears.
"What are you doing stupidly! Run!"
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
Someone asked me what Gai Wu's woodcarvings meant.
It means "Throw me with a sword and repay it with Qiong Ju".
