Cub Nursery

Chapter 122

Among the people of Daqin, those who resent monsters the most are undoubtedly those whose families serve as soldiers in border towns.

If the youngest leaves home, the eldest may not be able to return.

But in order to fight against the demon country, and for the stability of Daqin, his own children had to be released.

Worried about whether the child will have enough food and clothing, whether the child will improve his cultivation smoothly, and whether the child...will survive the monster's sharp claws and bloody mouth.

Because he is worried about the comfort of his own children, he resents monsters.

If a Taoist soldier is not sacrificed, a family will be sad. Thinking of Zhang Si's family, several brothers died, and Mrs. Zhang was stunned, leaving only resentment in her heart.

Yan Xun could understand these people very well, so he didn't lead the cubs out to emphasize right and wrong.There is no right or wrong in this matter, he and the cubs don't show up, the dead have long stopped thinking, but the living can still think, to think: the existence of the cubs is right or wrong.

Seeing their real family members, listening to the long-awaited children speaking familiar words, their thoughts changed unconsciously.

"What the border town was like before, and what it is like now, you can go to the city and see." Qin Sui said while eating with his parents, "Since Master Yan came, no child in the border town has starved to death, and an old man has died of hunger." Did not starve to death."

"Our good life is given by Master Yan." Aunt Mo said, "Master Yan is kind."

Such sounds were everywhere in the dining hall. Although the cubs were far away from them, they heard them all and heard them clearly.

"In fact, everyone is kind." The war rabbit cub said, "If there is no hatred, they will not target you, but will treat you well."

The cub Zhantu ran to get food, Qin Zhou just saw it, and even helped him carry the dinner plate.

There are obvious marks on his neck, he does not look like an ordinary child, and he is also wearing a padded jacket with the image of a cub printed on it. Ordinary people can tell that he is not a human child, but a monster cub.

But Qin Zhou didn't target him, but helped him instead.

If he explained it to Qin Zhoucai, he might not necessarily change his mind even if his lips were worn out, let alone Aunt Mo and Old Man Qin, they hated monsters deeply, even if there were always news about cubs in the capital, they would not change their minds. Still keep it at arm's length.

What they see with their own eyes is what they really want to believe, and they don't even realize that their own thoughts have changed.

Yan Xun took the cubs to eat in the dining hall, these people saw it, and they got used to it as soon as they turned around, as if they had been used to this kind of scene a long time ago.

People's changes are natural, subtle, and even unnoticed.

The War Rabbit cub walked away carrying the food plate to join the other cubs. Qin Zhoucai stood behind with a smile on his face.Suddenly, Qin Zhou realized that when he was in the capital, he still hated monsters every day and scolded him at home every day. Thinking about his current reaction, the change was so great.

Yan Xun just has that kind of ability, he didn't say anything, and he didn't ask anyone to do anything, but those people changed by themselves, and they didn't even realize that they had changed.

What he changed was the heart, not the appearance of the person.

In the room, Jing Fengye was squatting in the corner, holding a small palm-sized book and reading it with gusto.

Yan Xun stood at the door and took a look, then backed out quietly, turned to the outside window, and sneaked on the window to look in.

The sun shone down, Yan Xun's shadow covered Jing Fengye's body, he pretended not to know, and still looked down at the small book.

Yan Xun narrowed his eyes, he couldn't see clearly through the glass, but he could still make out whether the striped villain was wearing clothes or not, and it seemed different from the one Jing Fengye saw before.

The two of them were inseparable almost every day, and he basically knew what Jing Fengye was doing and who he had met.Yan Xun thought about it, but he didn't expect when Jing Fengye got this little book.

In the distance, the war rabbit cub passed by on a small iron donkey, and the snake body cub in the basket behind looked at it, and whispered: "We don't want to disturb you."

"Well, I guess adults and they will be very fast." The war rabbit cub whispered.

Because of the distance, Yan Xun didn't even notice the two cubs running past, but Jing Fengye heard it clearly, he continued to keep his composure, gently turning over the little book in his hand.

There are some random pictures on the side of the small book, and it can be seen from the eyebrows that they are all Yan Xun.

Standing, sitting, lying, frontal, profile, half-clothed, wearing only socks on their feet.Some are extremely detailed, others are much rougher, but they are all very beautiful.

Yan Xun's eyes drifted to those paintings uncontrollably, his face was a little red.

Jing Fengye's paintings are so expressive that Yan Xun can tell it's him at a glance.

He didn't even know that some of his actions were like this, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

The small book turned to the last page. There were no pictures, but only two heavy words, 'My Love'.

The sword-like sharp pen force can feel the chill on the face, and the grand warmth rushes to the face, the love inside is domineering and cautious, just like Jing Fengye usually: always restrain all the momentum on his body , followed Yan Xun cautiously, giving all the light and heat to Yan Xun.

Yan Xun felt a warm current gushing out of his heart, flowing all over his body.

He will never regret knowing such a monster in his life, even if he may be smashed to pieces in the future, but he has earned enough in the first half of his life, so he will not regret it.

When the wind blows, a fallen leaf floats on Yan Xun's body, and the shadow protrudes a little, which happens to be on the small notebook in Jing Fengye's hand.

Just as Yan Xun was about to walk away quietly, he saw Jing Fengye closing the small book and looking up at him.

"Cough..." Yan Xun wanted to say that he happened to be passing by, but suddenly remembered that Jing Fengye should have known that he was here for a while, and now it would be like talking nonsense with open eyes.

"I just came here." Yan Xun said calmly.

He was still talking nonsense.

Jing Fengye smiled and stood up, "Sir, do you want to come in?"

The two people are separated by a window with thick glass in between. When they look at each other, they can also see their own shadows on the glass.

The person behind the glass and the shadow on the glass overlap each other, Jing Fengye's figure can completely cover Yan Xun, but Yan Xun's presence is obvious, even stronger than Jing Fengye's.

Jing Fengye was like a huge shadow guarding behind Yan Xun.

Yan Xun stretched out his hand to open the window and said, "Okay."

"Come." Jing Fengye stretched out his hand.

Yan Xun grabbed his hand, followed Jing Fengye's strength to jump to the window with a light leap, and entered the room again.

He was still wearing shoes on his feet, and some dust was brought in from the outside, leaving a complete shoe print on the clean ground.

Jing Fengye squatted down, holding Yan Xun's calf to help him take off his shoes, and at some point there was a pair of straw sandals beside him, the same pair that Yan Xun usually wears.

Putting on the straw sandals, Yan Xun tried it out, and found that the straw sandals were still hot, probably not long after they were brought in from under the sun.

The windows were closed, the curtains were drawn, and even the doors were closed.

The sun was shining outside, and the war rabbit cubs rode into the workshop on a small iron donkey.

This time the Shanshan cub stayed in the capital and did not come, but he often told the cubs about Brother Huan. This time the cubs met Brother Huan as soon as they came, and became good friends with him.

Now the Cub War Rabbit also has an errand in the workshop. He has great strength and can help with many jobs.

On the wall hung the big, big clock that the cubs had brought.

When everyone is free, they are most keen to discuss the clock in the workshop. The time is more accurate. Smart people can learn to read the clock very quickly. Some stupid people are a little anxious and want to learn it all at once.

Besides, what everyone likes to discuss most is the canteen.

From the very beginning, Yan Xun said that he wanted to take care of the food and fill his stomach, and after the steamed buns in the dining hall were really taken care of, the military households in the border towns were very happy and worked harder.

If someone is lazy, they will be mobbed and attacked. The most common thing is: "The canteen is full of food, are you worthy of those meals?"

But Yan Xun thinks that only steamed buns are not enough, and there must be enough vegetables. First, he used beans to make bean sprouts, and then used beans to make tofu, soy milk, dried tofu, etc., as well as wild vegetables from border towns. Besides these, Yan Xun also brought back fruits this time. can.

Since the fields in the border town didn't grow crops, and the fruit trees were gone long ago, I couldn't fill my stomach, let alone eat fruit.

Even many people who were born and raised in border towns have never seen fruit.

When it was time to eat, most of the workers in the workshop stopped their work and hurried to the dining hall.

The snake-bodied cub also rested. He came to the workshop to help make purified water. Some machines have strict requirements, so pure water works best, and the taste of cooking with pure water in the canteen is also better.

"Is there any canned fruit today?" The snake-body cub chased Huan and Zhantu cubs while flicking its tail and thinking, "It said it was once every five days, is today the day?"

You are not allowed to talk casually when you are working, only when you are resting. The snake body cub has been so busy that he has no time to chat with everyone, and he hasn't figured out what day it is today.

Brother Huan hurriedly said, "Yes, today is the day when there are canned fruits."

"Oh, then let's hurry up, we can get more soup if we go early." The snake cub immediately swam to the front and called Brother Huan to catch up.

There were a lot of people on the way to the dining hall, and the cubs and brother Huan were among them. If it weren't for the special snake cubs, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all.

No one was staring at the snake cub on the road, and everyone was naturally discussing the dishes in the canteen today, especially the canned fruits.

The snake body cubs swam into the dining room quickly, and ran to line up skillfully.

"There are really canned fruits." The snake cub said happily, "Give me some more soup."

Everyone can have a spoonful of canned fruit, but if you go early, you can give more soup.

In the small wooden bowl is a very small spoonful and a small half spoonful of soup.

"This is the fruit." Brother Huan carefully helped the snake cub hold the wooden bowl, staring at the fruit in the bowl without blinking.

He grew up in the border town, and Brother Ming also grew up in the border town. Neither of them had ever seen any edible fruit.Occasionally, some old people miss those sweet and sour fruits and will tell Brother Huan about them.

It's just that no matter how they imagined it, they couldn't think of the appearance of those fruits. They were crunchy, sweet, round and round, and the inside of a bite was full of sweet juice. It was different from caramel, it was a completely different thing, but the children had never seen it. After seeing the edible fruits, I feel that the fruits hanging on the tree should be similar to caramel.

Brother Huan thinks so too.

Until he saw canned fruit and pictures drawn by the cubs.

"Bring me more soup." Brother Huan whispered like a snake cub.

Sure enough, there was half a spoonful of soup in his wooden bowl.

Brother Huan followed the cubs to the table to finish cooking. The small wooden bowl was placed in the middle of the table. When eating, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.He had never eaten these fruits, but they smelled very sweet, and he didn't know how they tasted.

Yan Xun and Jing Fengye came a bit late, there was no extra half spoonful of soup, only a small spoonful of canned fruit.

They came to eat with the cubs with plates, seeing Brother Huan was nervous about the small wooden bowl, Yan Xun smiled and said, "There will be more canned fruits in the future, there will always be times when you get tired of eating them."

"My lord, why don't we draw some fruit trees on the wall?" The snake-body cub suggested, "This way everyone can see what the fruit trees look like."

There were a lot of fruit trees in the early days by the seaside. Yan Xun specially bought them from other places with money, and specially arranged for farmers to take care of them. The cubs ate fresh fruits back then.

The cubs didn't think it was a big deal before, but after knowing the situation in the border town, the cubs discovered Yan Xun's good intentions: Yan Xun would always silently give them the best and most complete.

Now it's time for what the pups do.

"Success." Yan Xun nodded, "Go back and paint all the cement walls."

"En." The snake-body cub nodded hastily.

While listening to the cubs talking, Brother Huan carefully scooped up some fruit and put it in his mouth to chew slowly.

The taste is very different, not the same as caramel, a little sweet, a little sour, really crunchy.Fruits with different colors have different tastes, some are very chewy, some are soft and glutinous, and the soup tastes very good, with a little sourness in the sweetness.

It is a taste that has never been tasted before. How can it compare with caramel?

The same is true for everyone else in the dining hall. Fruits are indeed different from maltose, completely different.

Everyone cherished it very much. The soup in the bowl was clean, and they all whispered to the people they knew what kind of fruit they ate, and they were a little yearning for the canned fruit five days later.

Yan Xun asked Brother Huan with a smile, "What do you think of Border Town?"

"Very good." Brother Huan said seriously.

"Compared to other places? There are countless fresh foods in the capital, and many interesting and useful things, which may never be found in the border towns. Moreover, the border towns are very dangerous, and monsters will appear on the outer city walls at any time..." Yan Xun Earnestly and kindly asked, "Do you want to eat better food, wear better clothes, and go to a safer place?"

Yan Xun was smiling, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Seeing that Brother Huan didn't speak, he continued, "As long as you nod your head, I will have a way for you to go to the capital and work in the workshop."

It must be decent to go to the capital, Brother Huan also believes in Yan Xun's ability.

But Brother Huan still shook his head, and he said: "I want to eat better food, wear better clothes, and go to a safer place. But my father said that we are all military households in border towns, and we are all military households in border towns. We will live and die together. We must guard the border towns, as long as we are still there, Daqin will be safe and sound."

Brother Huan heard these words from Brother Ming when he was very young. He didn't understand them when he was young, but he just repeated them. When he grew up, he understood the meaning.

He also knew that his father should have said those words to Brother Ming, and then Brother Ming had said them to him.He also knew that the thoughts of many military households in the border town were like this. The children might be ignorant, but they would never leave the border town in a daze.

Therefore, although the border town is poor, everyone guards here, because they are not only the people of Daqin, but also the military households of the border town. Even if they are not cultivated, they must do what they can to help the Taoist soldiers.

"Very good, you will be the manager of the workshop in the future." Yan Xun said, "I will give opportunities to those who want to leave the border town, but I will not treat those who are willing to stay."

The border town is undergoing tremendous changes. People who have lived in the border town for a long time have the possibility of leaving. Some people hesitate to move, some people start to hesitate, but more people still have a firm idea: to stay.

"My lord?" Brother Huan felt that he was not knowledgeable enough. He and the cubs were good friends. He knew that the cubs were very knowledgeable and capable. They were suitable to be in charge at this time.

"There are still a few people that I am very optimistic about, you can call them later." Yan Xun said, "I will guide you for a few days, learn first, and then talk about other things if it doesn't work."

Brother Huan was relieved.

These selected people are usually good-tempered and assertive, and they work neatly.Most of them are children, only a few adults, almost all of them are brothers.

After they heard Yan Xun's words, they were very excited, and felt that they were too flattered to follow Yan Xun.

No one refused.

Yan Xun took them to the field, to the train, to the train station, and even took them to see the shirt.

"These shirts can only be worn by Taoist soldiers guarding the outer city wall, because the number is scarce." Yan Xun said calmly, "The method of planting this kind of green cotton is very cruel, but for the survival of the Taoist soldiers on the outer city wall, no matter how cruel I am Will persist."

The green jersey looks weird, the fabric is light and fluffy, but it can't be ripped or cut.

Brother Huan's eyes were bright, and he touched the shirt carefully, thinking that if Master Yan had come a few years earlier, maybe his father would not have died in battle, and now that he has these shirts, the Taoist soldiers guarding the outer city wall will be even stronger. It is possible to survive, which is a great thing.

"My lord, were the cubs made it?" Brother Huan asked.

There are also spinning machines and looms in the house, all of which are controlled by hand. There are tall benches in many places, and some wooden handles can see small handprints, which are left by the cubs.

It takes too much work to leave fingerprints like that.

There are many sewing machines in the house, and the matching bench is also relatively high, thinking that the cubs need to sit higher to use the sewing machines.

Now all the textile workshops use large-scale combined textile machines, and even the cubs are discussing to build a steam engine, so that the textile machines will run faster.

These manual spinning machines and looms have all been eliminated.

"This kind of cotton is too tough, and it's easy to hurt your hands. The cubs have rough skin and thick flesh, so they're not afraid." Yan Xun said with a smile, "They spin the thread, weave the cloth, and sew the battle robe."

Some of the sewing machines also saw spots of dark red blood, very glaring.

Everyone was silent, even brother Huan didn't speak.

They don't know that the cubs have done so much. In the past, the cubs built trains, led by Yan Xun and brought the family of Dao soldiers to reunite, and made such a huge workshop, making the fields in the border town full of A lot of green mulberry trees and white cotton have been done.

Those small, chubby-faced cubs were doing more and more things in places that no one knew.

The cubs are monsters, and they are people.

In the past, the boundaries were so clear that there was almost no end to death; now the boundaries are beginning to blur, people and demons are the same, the difference is only good and bad.

"You will be in charge in the future, the first thing you need to do is to distinguish the good from the bad." Yan Xun said, "You need to know people and make good use of them. Sometimes bad people can help you do good things, and if you don't handle them well, good people may help you." You do bad things."

Everyone listened carefully.

"No matter how much I say, you may not remember much, so just remember what I did these few days." Yan Xun said calmly, "Think about what I did and what I said to you. "

In the past few days, Yan Xun took them to the fields to meet the men working in the fields, and went to the train to talk to the skilled craftsmen, and went to the train station, and took them to see the shirts.

Up to now, Yan Xun has said these words to them again.

"Okay, starting tomorrow, you guys will try to be stewards first." Yan Xun said.

After all these people left, Yan Xun took some green cotton cloth and started to sew clothes, not war robes, but ordinary clothes.

Jing Fengye came in with the cubs, saw that Yan Xun was busy, and hurried over to help.

The cub with the body of a snake draws lines on the green cotton cloth with a pencil curled up on the tip of its tail, and asks curiously, "Is there any deep meaning in bringing them to see the battle robes?"

"En." Yan Xun nodded, "Don't you think the border town is too peaceful?"

Rumors spread in the capital, and Xie Qianshu's concubine, Sister Yuan, approached Mr. Qiang to spread the news, and was vaguely involved in Zhao Yuanting's old case.

Part of the change in the capital is due to the border town, and Yan Xun has been in the border town for so many days, and it has always been calm, which is a bit unusual.

"My lord is right." The war rabbit cub said, "The number of appearances of the iron claw hyena monster has begun to decrease these days, and it will not appear again in a few days. This is not a big deal."

Huang Ting, Fan Jiang, and even Qiu Bao had been secretly watching.

But until now there is still no movement, either the people staring at them didn't notice it, or they really didn't move, then it may be because there was no hope that made them do it.

Although the style of the green cotton clothes is ordinary, the color...is not as good-looking as the battle robe.

Yan Xun sewed two pieces, one for himself and Jing Fengye, and one for the cubs and the baby, but their clothes were temporarily put in the closet, while Yan Xun and Jing Fengye's clothes were worn until body.

"No matter if there is any movement or not, we still have to do something." Yan Xun said calmly.

"Is your lord going to the demon country?" The war rabbit cub asked hurriedly.

There is no demon country in his memory, and he has never been to the demon country, and he has not even approached the outer city wall, so he couldn't help being a little excited at this time.

Yan Xun nodded.

The war rabbit cub thought for a while and said, "Then be careful, my lord."

Although he wanted to go and see what the demon country is like, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so he can wait.
