Chapter 2: Protector Mulan (0)

Edited by Kubera :D

Soinal Hua Mulan was so ered that (her soul) disappeared

Froeneral that had the power to lead over thousands of soldiers to an old woet married off, if it was her, she would not be able to handle the big psychological change

In particular, when she looked through the uo heroine (1), who showed fortitude in battle and had a strong personality In the are

She was already well over 30 years old Even her fellow comrades probably would have married a wife and had their own children As she had her own pride, she was unwilling to let her comrades knohat happened in her hoinal personality, she would have probably silently kept everything to herself and not disturb others

That is what she wanted ulti other’s life

Nevertheless, after she replaced Hua Mulan to live out her life for a period, she felt unsettled in her heart If Hua Mulan really experienced all these, would she really be strong enough to not be hurt by these?

What would those former comrades think of her, if they knehat happened back in her ho of, actually turned out to be like this

There are no fresh flowers, no applause, there are only feelings of all sorts of inexplicable irritability

Afraid that it was because of this, Hua Mulan did not keep into contact with her former confidants Instead, she chose to quietly live out her life in the countryside

Despite that, her quiet and peaceful life was about to be destroyed

She was ers, the tributes of farm fields and cloth and silk textiles were coveted by others, if she was single till the end of her life, it was a crime Would Hua Mulan be sad if she knew these?

He Mulan did not dare to think about it, and would not bear to think about it

Liu Townshi+p was not far frouo Townshi+p that Hua Mulan lived in However, “not far” was fro distance In fact, she walked for more than an hour

This made He Mulan curious about the real motive towards why Liu family’s lad wanted to invite a matchmaker down to her house Unexpectedly, he actually caer Back Bear Waist” (2) Hua Mulan to become his wife Besides that, he also added all his faift

The Liu fae alliance lived in the east of the Liu fa the small pavelanced at the surrounding farm fields She does not know the reason hen it is currently winter, but there are still some crops that have not been harvested yet

Could it be a family of lazy bastards?

Or a man with crippled hands and feet?

When she reached the Liu family house, in a distant, He Mulan heard a man’s shout from behind a few fence walls That faint cry sounded with panic and despair

“Murderer! Murderer! ”

“Gentleht be inconvenient, let us co’s footsteps stopped As one heard her voice, it felt like she wanted to pull “Hua KeHu” away

He Mulan twitched her eyebrows disapprovingly

She was trying to find out what sort of person was Liu family’s lad exactly, but as they say, “it’d be better to come coincidentally than to come early” (3)

If she does not scout at this tied Granny wang towards the Liu fauarding the fence door of the Liu family house entrance

Once they saw a Xianbeithe house, they were first flustered then they hollered: “The Liu fa their household matters, outsiders, please leave! The emperor has ordered that the Xianbei-ren cannot harass the Han-ren!”

“Who cares what kind of household , I’m just here to see what the buzz is about”

He Mulan stretched her head out into the inside of the house

The people at this place ht have suffered from malnutrition probleht that was above 17ht was between 165-168htly above average In front of these “muscular men”, it didn’t appear that she would lose out to them

She sahat happened inside clearly, at this lance, He Mulan was not able to endure!

There was a fierceto use a stick to hit him in the Liu fa man trapped on top of the tree in front of the rooed out from the room

“Stop!”

“I’ve already told you that you can’t enter!”

As theinto the house, they picked up their bats and headed towards hi saw that the situation ry, she irab the wrist of thethe bat was suddenly blocked This made the man scared to continue their actions

The otherhis bat, but because his co onto the floor, it h He Mulan wanted to properly dispose of those men aved their weapons at her, she knew that for now, theto do was to deal with that fierce man as about to hit the child She tossed that ently pulled open the fence door However, it looked like the whole fence was mowed over by a cow insteadJust like this, He Mulan rushed into the opened fence door, with a swift action she picked up the boy who had been beaten up

“You are……” that fierce man swept his eyes down He Mulan’s attire He did not try to explain hilared at the skinny and weak man on the top of the tree

“I heard that you wanted to e, now it appears that this seems to be true? Why, to deal with lance at He Mulan’s look of hostility, as he sed down the words “that ”

“I will tell you now that it does not s to ed the boy as frightened, as she got the rough idea of the situation in her mind There were only two types of disputes between civilians-either because of ot the land deed, h she pitied the s to disputes between civilians She was neither the village head nor a village elder nor was she a court official working for the yamen She did not have the ability and capability to interfere in thisbeaten up, was already considered an act of righteousness

He Mulan swept her gaze up and down at that fierce man as she stared at him She only felt that ‘the statement-looks are relative to the heart’ was true

“Today I came to seek him for some matters, if you want to settle the feud, come another day This lad is innocent, ould you bully a child for!”

“This child almost burnt down my house, so what if I hit him a few times! Ifhis life!” that fierce runted coldly It appeared as if that man ithout fear

He Mulan looked at the child in her arms, unable to believe that the weak child in her hands can do such a thing

The child looked flustered He buried his head into her embrace harder Especially when his face was full of tears and snot, as he pouted here and frowned there,her to feel restless over the look

Sure enough, whether it’s in the ancient era or in modern times, she was unable to like children

It’s a wonder how Gu Qing was able to live her life surrounded by kids every day

He Mulan carried the child over to the side of the big tree She placed the child down; she raised her hand to pull off the ropes that were trapping Liu family’s lad The ropes let out a “crunch” sound as the fierce man winced That fierce ether with hi that they are in pain, he unsatisfactorily left

He was a Han-ren, even if what he did was reasonable, he did not want to fight with a Xianbei soldier

In DaWei aarrison defence was either Xianbei nobility or central plain’s Han-ren who had the backing of those powerful clans Rumour has Hua Mulan’s father ith the ar the round, he understood that man couldn’t be offended

The people who can read the trend of the time are smart In any case, the Liu family would not be able to run away, as the core of the family will always remain (4)

He Mulan threw the rope that she held in her hands, coldly watching the fierce ets bullied and the evil gets feared- that’s the way this world works This rule is still universal, regardless of the era

She should be thankful that she trans and superb in martial arts Hua Mulan, and she inherited her bodily memory towards this aspect Otherwise, if she wanted to meddle into other’s business, she would have to see if she has the capability to do so

As He Mulan saved the young and old of Liu faratitude

He Mulan came to discuss about Liu family’s lad’s situation, but now that she looked at the situation, this Liu fa candidate was as weak as a chicken His family was also embroiled in financial disputes Not only the He Mulan who transrated into Hua Mulan was unable to accept the man, even Hua Mulan herself would not accept the man

After she received the weak and skinny h understanding of what happened

This Liu family’s lad is the sole child of the Liu family His mother passed ahen he was 9, and his father never relehandedly raised him up Later, he was contracted with a ter to invite a “renowned doctor” to treat his illness, but he eventually still passed away

As he had to take care of his father as ill, he was too preoccupied to harvest the crops in his family’s farm field His father then loaned the plot of the field to his clans in the same hometoith the same surna the crops while the production would be divided in the ratio of 8:2 The rental cost of the field was not high, but it was enough toexpenses

Subsequently, his father still passed away He wanted to collect the farm field back, but he discovered that the current land deed has changed fro paid, but it turned out to be a contract to buy and sell the land deed

Of course Liu faht several family members and relatives of his to make up a fuss there That fierce man naturally had prepared for such a situation-he had helpers in his faued a couple of ti was not a match for the fierce man’s family His oife could not stand the fuss of the confrontation between the two faht up two of his kids to file a coet back the plot of fars to his family

It was only that the fierce reement between both parties Liu faned with that fierce hbourhood, and nobody knohere hea few times But even after their family’s children were beaten up (6), there still wasn’t a resolution to that issue After that, they did not offer their help anymore

“So this is to say, your father is illiterate, you are illiterate, your whole family is illiterate?”

He Mulan stood in the courtyard, as she stole a glance at the pair of children by his side

After he ate such a big loss, he still wouldn’t let his children learn to be literate? Was it to the extent where you would allow your own family’s son to set fire to other’s house?

“We are common folks, there would be no use if we are literate……” Liu family’s lad bitterly said, “we are not a family of officials, even if we are literate, we cannot become officials We still must spend money to learn to read and write, we are different from those official families”

At this era, civilian literacy is useless because there is no iood, the whole fan the contract even without knohat the wordsa loss they still wanted to use brute force to settle the problem Even if they had the deed in their hands, it’d be useless because is even their strength is inferior to the other party

He Mulan nodded her head understandingly

“So, you want to take my cousin back as your wife, the reason is because……she is able to fight well?”

He Mulan cannot help but think of it that way as the situation is displayed right before her

“It is not true! I only feel that, for a strong-willed wohtened by the other’s family If I head out to redress that issue, I can leave ht as well request for her to be able to fight well

After wasting half of her day, he wanted Hua Mulan to be his protector, is it not?!

(0): 镇宅Mulan: to be more specific, the literal translation would mean townhouse Mulan But in historical context, 镇宅 wouldof the house That’s why I initially chose the title of the chapter as Exorcist Mulan, but later I felt that Protector was uo heroine: in Chinese history, it refers to feer back bear waist: literally what itsized (As in ancient China, the petite, slim and soft spoken women were preferred)
