Mulan Has No Elder Brother

Chapter 27: The first companion (two)

Views:

Afterwards, A Shan Zhiqi secretly returned to the place to lift the log, not to mention lifting it, even if it was moved, it was very difficult.

The wood used in the army to erect columns was originally the thickest and strongest.

After the strong wind that day, Hua Mulan continued to live his military life as if it had never happened. Occasionally, A Shan Zhiqi asked about the day with a full sigh. He scratched his face and asked him with a puzzled look:

"What happened? What happened that day?"

"It's the day you lifted the pole..."

"Huh? Huo Chang, did the wind blow your eyes that day? Who can support the column!" Hua Mulan glanced at A'Dan Zhiqi with a half-smile, and continued to train as if nothing had happened.

A-Danzhi is only twenty-five years old, but not fifty-two, so naturally he will not be confused. This fellow in and out has such great potential, but it doesn't show it at all. As a soldier, A'Dan Zhiqi's doubts and curiosity are getting heavier and heavier, to the point of hysteria.

He began to pay attention to everything about Mulan.

***

One night, the soldiers of the recruit battalion fell into a deep sleep because they were too tired from the daytime drills. A Dan Zhiqi woke up in the middle of the night for no reason, but found that Mulan, who was in the same account, was not there.

Finally caught it!

Like a vulture circling in the sky, he jumped up in excitement as he finally found his prey, lifted the tent and went out to look for the trace of Hua Mulan.

He knew he might discover some kind of secret about this companion tonight.

School grounds, horse farms, fire rooms... A Shan Zhiqi avoided many patrolling Paoze in order to search for Mulan's trace, but he never found the shadow of Hua Mulan.

After looking for it for about half an hour, when he walked to a shooting range in the corner of the barracks, Hua Mulan, who was practicing arrows alone, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Under the dim torchlight of the arrow tower, Mulan's slender figure seemed so thin, which was why A'Dan Zhiqi was so curious.

How did such a man who didn't look strong lift that piece of wood

Could it be that he knows the "immortal methods" of the Han people

A'Dan Zhiqi lightened his pace and quietly observed him from a relatively close distance.

Hua Mulan exhaled a long breath, took out a feather arrow from the large quiver beside her, and gently set the bowstring.

There is also a pot of torches under the grass target in the distance. The arrow rest and the grass target have become the only light sources for the shooting range.

humm...

The arrow that left the string from Hua Mulan's hand went straight to the target that seemed to be blazing with fire, and finally stayed at the bullseye very neatly.

The arrow was buried so deeply into the haystack target that the arrow appeared to be cut in half.

This is not what surprised A'Dan Zhiqi the most. The Xianbei people are good at riding and shooting, and there are many experts in this field in the army. What surprised him was the position of Hua Mulan and his amazing eyesight.

The land of a shot always refers to a hundred steps. That's why there is a saying "one hundred steps through Yang".

But Hua Mulan was standing farther back than where they were practicing arrows. He actually stood at a distance of about 150 paces, opened the bow like a full moon, and shot out with this tension!

God, it's night!

He was indeed stronger than ordinary people.

He was unbelievably calm when he was shooting arrows.

hum, bang...

Mulan shot more than ten arrows one after another. Except for one arrow, which was slightly deflected due to a sudden gust of wind, the other arrows remained on the target, and the grass target was stuck like a hedgehog's back.

A'Dan Zhiqi didn't know what kind of mood he was hiding in the dark.

envy? envy? And a little... anger.

Mulan's bowstring finally broke.

That's right, even the hard bows in the army can't bear it until the string is fully drawn.

With the sound of the bowstring breaking, Hua Mulan let go of her hand like a conditioned reflex, letting the hard bow in her hand fall to the ground.

If it is hit by the broken bowstring, the finger will be deeply wounded by the bowstring, and it will also bring severe pain. If you have a hand injury, you will not be able to participate in the next day's riding and shooting training.

Seeing the habit that Mulan had developed in her body, Adan Zhiqi knew that Mulan should not have been hit twice by the bowstring.

Does he also practice archery like this at home

Which military family has such a warrior, he should have been sent to the army early to make a contribution and make a career.

Why did he hide his abilities

Since he didn't want to use his skills, why did he sneak over to practice arrows in the middle of the night

One question after another came to his mind.

A Shan Zhiqi felt that he was about to be suffocated to death by these problems.

Seeing that the bowstring was broken, Hua Mulan reluctantly tried to reconnect the bowstring. When she found that there was no way to do it, she just mixed the hard bow in her hand into a pile of hard bows for training like a thief.

At his own behavior, he smiled like a child who had succeeded in mischief.

In the next time, A Shan Zhiqi watched Hua Mulan trot to the grass target, pulled out the arrows one by one on the target, switched the grass target again, and then held the arrow to lift Take the torches placed beside the target and run back to the arrow rest, extinguish the two torches and put them in their original positions.

So smooth.

So familiar with it.

"Your archery is outstanding."

A Shan Zhiqi, who was about to suffocate himself, finally came out of the darkness.

His mentality at this time is probably to see if Hua Mulan at this time will casually say something like "Ah, the wind has caught your eye".

Sure enough, Hua Mulan was stunned.

"Fire... fire long?".

On the dark arrow stand, Hua Mulan and A Shan Zhiqi sat side by side.

Hua Mulan knew that being seen by Huo Chang this time, she wouldn't be able to perfunctorily say "You read it wrong".

Excuse me, trouble!

The fire chief is really relentless.

"Why do you hide your strength?"

Adan Zhiqi is a typical Xianbei man. His skin was dry and chapped under the wind and sand of the desert. Even his gentle voice became difficult to hear in the daily training roar.

Every soldier who starts as a recruit in the desert sandstorm will not have a very good voice.

Mulan was silent.

She was the most silent kind of person in the entire camp.

"Why?" A Shan Zhiqi asked again.

As for A'Dan Zhiqi's questioning, Hua Mulan knew she couldn't drag it on, so she replied quietly:

"I don't want to die. I don't want to go to Pioneer Camp."

At that moment, A Shan Zhiqi seemed to have suddenly lost the ability to speak.

Entering the pioneer camp at the northern border is the dream of many military men.

The Ying Yang of the Central Army, the Hu Ben of the Right Army, the Hussars of the Left Army, and the three vanguard battalions are almost the existence that everyone in the army looks up to. Countless times of rushing to the front, they are a beacon in the Great Wei army and a banner of the Great Wei.

Where the three armies are located, the battle is invincible.

This is really very annoying. He only felt a deep sense of disgust for Mulan's words "I don't want to die".

All the thoughtful thoughts about Hua Mulan before, and the bias towards Hua Mulan, such as "maybe he has a story", were all thrown into the desert outside Yinshan.

How much A'Dan Zhiqi expected from him before, how much he hates him now.

"You said you were afraid of death? What kind of arrows are you still practicing if you are afraid of death!"

A'Dan Zhiqi stood up angrily and looked at the companion like a bedbug.

With such talent, how can you be afraid of battle? !

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I don't want to die." Mulan's amber pupils looked very gentle in the moonlight. "Practicing arrows is to increase the chance of survival."

What a hell!

He actually felt that Hua Mulan's eyes were very gentle when she said something like "I don't want to die"!

"What's the difference?!"

Who said that if you go to Pioneer Camp, you must die? !

What's more, these military households, who have been soldiers for generations, already have the consciousness of "not dying in a woman's arms"!

"Chang Huo, have you heard the words of the Han people, 'Yuesuiwaquan'?"

Mulan looked up at A'Dan Zhiqi who stood up.

"No! Do you think everyone has an uncle who can write!"

"I heard it when I was very young."

"We seldom fail against Worm, but even so, our sacrifices are never less than Worm. In the eyes of the Great Khan, we are hard jade, and Worms are rubble as easily destroyed as mud bricks. As long as the army When it comes out, the crawly will be disintegrated into ashes..." Hua Mulan rubbed her forehead.

"But whether it's broken jade or broken tiles, the tragedy is the same."

He stood up and looked up at the sky.

"I, I have to live no matter what. Even if I break my hands and feet, I will go home alive..."

In A'Dan Zhiqi's disdainful eyes, he maintained this posture of straightening his spine and looking up, sighing as if speaking to the sky:

"I'm not afraid of dying. I'm more afraid of dying than dying, that my death will change the lives of my family.".

A-Dan Zhiqi went back in despair. The shock he received tonight almost overturned his values.

His brother died in the war, his father died in the war, his grandfather died in the war, and his ancestors fought in the war for generations. He was taught from a young age to be brave, to be brave and not afraid of death, and to be loyal to the Great Khan.

Every dead person is a hero and the pride of Da Wei.

He also has a son. As long as he is still alive, the family has not lost the status of a military household. Once his son reaches the age of war, he will inevitably go to the battlefield.

This is the fate of military households.

He knew that Mulan's thoughts were wrong, but he couldn't blame anything.

Why do people who have already joined the army and went to the battlefield say cunning words like "I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die"

It's the same feeling as asking a thief "Why do you steal" and the answer is "I want it" instead of "Why do I steal".

If you die, will your family's life be changed

What nonsense are you talking about, it's bound to happen, isn't it!

A'Dan Zhiqi's firm belief was completely messed up because of the conversation that night.

This man, who was eager to make achievements on the battlefield, also began to imagine when he held the sword and halberd.

He would remember what his three-year-old son would be like when he died.

He would think about his wife, whether that Xianbei girl with a bright smile and bright eyes would remarry and become the bride of someone else's family.

His eldest brother was dead, and so was his father. If he also died, who would serve his grandmother

All the men of a family died in battle, and the military households would lose their inheritance. In the Adan family, without the status of military households, people would look down on them even when they went out.

Thinking about the question of life and death on the battlefield is really a terrible thing.

Like a ferocious beast on the reins, a sharpened sword breaks its edge.

"Fuck! What do I think so much about!" A'Dan Zhiqi cut off the head of a Rouran man with a ghastly face. "I don't kill people, I can live a fart!"

A Shan Zhiqi, who suddenly woke up, seemed to have just discovered that he was already standing on the battlefield, and began to wield his halberd to harvest the enemy's life.

He almost fooled that kid Hua Mulan!

If you want to survive, you must kill.

The more people you want to kill, the more you will come forward.

That Hua Mulan, who hesitated like a bitch, as long as she doesn't die, one day she will enter the Vanguard Camp. It's just a matter of time.

xiaoshuting.info

The officers are not fools!

He squinted at Mulan in the distance.

This is the first time that Hua Mulan has officially participated in the "harvest". Surprisingly, he is not timid and has no expression of fear of death.

They had been in the recruiting camp before, and they were responsible for guarding food and grass or protecting the flanks every time the Rouran people came to harass them. They had never seen such a bloody scene.

There are many recruits who are red-eyed and those who are afraid of being unable to raise a knife. At this time, although she is not brave, the unusually calm Hua Mulan is very conspicuous.

This man is a natural warrior!

As expected of the child of Huai Shuohua's family.

He knew that the children from the He Lai clan would not be cowards!

Kunda and Mo Huaier, who were on the same fire, were already pale, and their hands were shaking, and they couldn't even hold the horse's reins. Usually, the self-confidence of picking feet and complaining that he was not sent out to chase Rouran people has long since disappeared.

There is no difference between Rouran and Xianbei people. If they really want to fight, it depends on who has more strength and who has stronger martial arts.

He is just a fire chief, not a general. He protects their food and drink, but cannot protect their safety.

He still wants to live!

Whizzing.

Two arrows rushed towards them, one first and the other hitting the back of the two Rouran people.

The Rouran cavalry who charged towards Kunda and Mo Huaier fell off their horses in a daze, and the pain in their shoulders made them unable to hold the reins. All that was left was the warhorse, which continued to gallop forward, and after losing its rider, it quickly ran away to the side.

Kunda and Mo Huaier were rescued by the sharp arrow that fell from the sky, and looked forward gratefully.

Directly in front, Hua Mulan, with a complicated expression, glanced around the battlefield, controlled the reins, turned her horse's head, and trotted back.

The Rouran people in front have been defeated, and the Rouran people who have rushed into the formation have also been shot and killed by the Chinese army, and there is no need to continue the slaughter.

"Mulan, where are you going! Returning to the team to clean up the battlefield is considered military merit!"

"You guys go, I'll take a look at the back!"

"Hey, hey, our mission this time is to rush to kill with the Chinese army!"

"Isn't the harvest already finished?" Hua Mulan swept past them like a gust of wind.

"Forget it, let's cut the wriggling man's head for him! How many did he kill?"

"Seven or eight?"

"First kill the one who shoots and dismounts!" Ah Dan Zhiqi ran to the two companions, and before he could say a word, he jumped up when he saw the situation in front of him.

"Hey, that one over there! We killed those two corpses in the fire! Can't you see the arrows behind them! Put them down!"

"I said let it go!"

***

Mulan hates this one-sided massacre very much.

However, the Xianbei people did not leave the "crawly" prisoners on the battlefield, and the Rouran people knew that even if they surrendered, they would not save their lives.

So as long as the war begins, it will end without death.

How can she die.

If she dies, her identity as a woman will not be preserved. The bones of the dead are difficult to preserve. In order to leave relics to erect the tomb of the clothes and crowns, the companions must remove all the clothes and accessories of Pao Ze and bring them back to the deceased's home.

If her identity as a woman is exposed, she will not even have the qualifications around the funeral robe.

She suffocated even imagining the dishonorable future her family would encounter.

How could she let her grandfather be immersed in the nightmare of "I forced my daughter to death" all her life

Hua Mulan said that she was not afraid of death, which was not a lie.

Every time she stepped onto the battlefield, she would get a strange sense of tranquility. It seems that this battlefield is her home, the place she is most familiar with.

The sound of the horn, the sound of fighting, and the sound of gold and iron when the weapons intersected in her ears made her tremble and excited from the hair to the bone marrow.

The blood of the enemy is calling her, and the mourning of the enemy is like a drum to cheer her up. She is like a sharp blade sealed in a box, eager to rush into the enemy line with the Chinese army to "harvest".

It's just that the more excited she is, the more calm she is to suppress it.

She can't turn herself into a killing tool like everyone else, she wants to live, not be a living target.

As long as she can survive.

However, seeing her companion in distress, she still couldn't help raising her longbow and shot the two enemies from a distance.

Even if they were two wretched men who would only brag, chat, grind their teeth, snort, and like to pick their feet indiscriminately with smelly feet.

She hated their every move so much, but not enough to watch them die.

One hundred and forty steps, she glanced at the battlefield, and no one seemed to notice the distance.

Grandpa, it's too hard not to be out of line.

How can you live without being out of line

I should have asked you in my letter from last month.

The author has something to say: I am relatively unlucky and have to work hard overtime during the National Day, so today's first update is sent before I go to work, and the second one has to wait until I get off work at night.

Mulan's first letter from home.

Mulan: Grandpa, how did you solve the toilet problem? There are not even blades of grass here.

Grandpa: (replying letter) A bamboo chip is attached to the letter. Note: Do not mix.
