Cub Nursery

ended.

Yan Xun's soul floated in the air, looking at the desolate ground.

There is no living person, and all are dead; there is not a single monster, and all are dead.Rivers of blood flowed on the ground, and mountains of corpses, both human and monster.

This is not the result he wants to see: the earth has no more living things, and becomes a dead star through and through.

The blue life planet that once depended on for survival was tossed into this appearance by humans and monsters. Yan Xun didn't know what went wrong. The monsters became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult for human beings to survive. He could only stand up and resist. Taking back the territory occupied by monsters in one step, in the end, this is the result.

He cannot accept it.

"Did I really do something wrong? Shouldn't monsters be killed, shouldn't humans be killed? If I were given another chance, what would I do? Can anyone tell me?" Yan Xun felt that he might have done something wrong , he found that his soul began to dissipate, just like other soldiers who had already disappeared, it seemed that everything had become a foregone conclusion and could not be modified.

In the end, he will also disappear completely, the real soul is scattered.

**

The headache was severe, and the memories came flooding back.

Yan Xun found that he was not dead, and it was thousands of years ago.He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was half lying in a small courtyard. If he guessed correctly, this place should be the Honglu Temple in his memory.

The original owner of this body was tricked into coming to Honglu Temple to take a peek at the cubs sent as hostages by the demon country this time. As a result, he saw a cub as soon as he climbed over the wall, and he fell down in fright, so he just left.

Yan Xun got up and found that there was no serious injury on his body, the original owner should have been frightened to death.

This is a very small courtyard, with two main rooms, and the two sides should have been wing rooms, but they have been in disrepair for a long time and are rotten, leaving only a pile of waste wood.The door of a main room was open, and there were several dirt pits inside, and the walls were damp and covered with moss.

One of the main rooms was closed, and the cubs from the demon country should be there.

In my memory, people and monsters are not at odds, as long as they meet, they will never die.But Yan Xun remembered that after 'himself' fell off the wall, he vaguely saw a few monster cubs coming over to help him turn over, and cleaned up some small wounds on his body, and now they are no longer bleeding.

It felt a bit strange, but Yan Xun found that he didn't reject it, another idea came to his mind, he felt that he could take the opportunity to try, maybe this is the reason why God let him live again, maybe this is a good start.

Just as Yan Xun was thinking, the door of the main room opened suddenly, and an adult monster wrapped in animal skins came out, stood still five steps away from Yan Xun, and passed the moldy pancake in his hand.

"For me?" Yan Xun pointed to himself.In the past, he could only fight when he saw monsters, only one could survive, or lose both. He had never received anything from monsters.

The man in front of him has lines on both sides of his cheeks that resemble dragon scales. He is completely different from a human being, but he is very handsome.

"En." The monster nodded.

Yan Xun stretched out his hand to take the pancake, found that he was relieved, and couldn't help smiling.Very cautious monster, seems to be very afraid of him, obviously he has no cultivation level now.

"They didn't mean it, please don't let others know." The monster spoke very slowly, which was a very standard official language.

The moment the original owner climbed over the wall, he happened to see a few cubs in the yard, one of them had a snake body but had a human face, and he happened to find the original owner looking over. up.

"Okay." Yan Xun nodded.He thought for a while, the original owner came to scare to death himself, and really didn't blame those cubs.

A cub poking around behind the door, thinking it hadn't been found, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in a low voice, "He's a good man, if he tells those people, we'll eat less..."

He heard all that.

Just don't tell others about it and become a good person, Yan Xun thinks it's a little funny, and his heart becomes softer unconsciously.The monsters here are different from the ones he has encountered before. They are very gentle, they will not actively hurt people, and they are even a little afraid of people.

Watching the monster come out and turn back to the house, Yan Xun remembered that he had been in a coma for a while, and had to climb over the wall to leave, otherwise he would be caught by the guards outside, and he would definitely have to walk around.

The courtyard wall is about two people high, with traces of the old wall below and a new wall raised above.

Yan Xun tried to jump up, but his hands couldn't reach the wall at all.This body is just an ordinary person, it seems impossible to climb over the wall by himself, and Yan Xun must not go through the gate unless it is absolutely necessary.

"You stepped on me." The monster came out again at some point, stood behind and watched for an indefinite amount of time, he stretched out his hand, motioning Yan Xun to step on it.

"Okay." Yan Xun had nothing to hesitate, seeing that the monster has a strong body, eight-pack abs, mermaid lines, wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, so he should have a lot of strength.

Stepping on it, his body rose rapidly, and Yan Xun climbed up the wall smoothly.He felt the monster behind him give him a hand, very lightly, just a touch.

Seeing that there are wooden sticks outside to step on, it can go smoothly.Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at the yard, just in time for the monster to look up, he smiled and said, "Thank you."

Looking back again, this is Honglu Temple, Yan Xun thinks it is just a very ordinary small courtyard, except for the guards around, this is also a well-known slum area in the capital.

In front was the narrow alley, Yan Xun put down the wooden stick, and as soon as he walked out, he saw Du Qinsheng, the original owner's 'friend' standing nearby.

"How about it, didn't you see it?" Seeing Yan Xun's expression normal, Du Qinsheng knew in his heart that he must have not seen it, "Although I haven't seen it, but I heard that the monsters from the demon country are all vicious. , You can eat people with just a glance. Didn’t you say there is a big monster? Hey, I don’t dare to move the guard away for too long, for fear that you will be eaten by the monster inside.”

Coaxing the original owner to climb over the wall to see the monster, and not daring to approach it for so long, obviously he didn't want to make the original owner feel better, but the trick was too clumsy, if Yan Xun himself, he would never be fooled.

Yan Xun smiled, and said: "I went in and looked, the inside is quite good. Now I want to enter Honglu Temple, you can help me find a way."

"What?" Du Qinsheng was stunned, "Yan Xun, you are crazy, you can survive in that kind of place where people cannibalize? You don't even look at the guards outside, but they are all warriors with cultivation base."

"You don't have to worry about this. You have to help me, otherwise I will go to the yamen and report that you transferred the guards of Honglu Temple without permission." Yan Xun directly threatened.

"...Okay, but don't regret it!" Du Qinsheng was taken aback. He found that Yan Xun seemed to have changed, and he was very difficult to provoke. He didn't dare to provoke him, so he could only agree.

Du Qinsheng's father, Du Xuanfeng, was the emperor's favored minister. He was not a big official, but he often had the opportunity to meet the emperor, and he could really speak kindly to the emperor.Others may not be able to do anything about it, but this matter is just a matter of saying to Du Xuanfeng.

It just so happened that the cubs of the demon kingdom had only come for a month, and the Honglu Temple was ready, and the guards outside were also carefully selected, but no one dared to go in and contact them, and the emperor was worried.

Du Xuanfeng then mentioned Yan Xun, "So-so knowledgeable, good-looking, but a boring son of a petty official."

"It's appropriate, but it's more than enough." The emperor naturally knew Du Xuanfeng's careful thinking, but Honglu Temple really needed someone to go in, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the Yao Kingdom.

So Yan Xun became the prime minister of Honglu Temple, from a small official of the sixth rank.It's just a matter of a day.

Because it was just a few chats between the emperor and Du Xuanfeng, without the approval of the official department, there were only a few people who knew that Yan Xun had entered Honglu Temple.There was no oral order from the emperor, and no one in the Yan Mansion knew about it.

Yan Xun didn't tell anyone, he cleared up the money in the yard by himself, took it all out to buy things, drove the ox cart himself, and came to the outside of Honglu Temple again, this time it was the main gate.

The thick solid wood gate was covered with copper skin. If he forced his way in, Yan Xun, who had no cultivation level, might not be able to enter even if his body was smashed to pieces.

The door opened slowly, and Mrs. Zhang came out from inside, "You are very good, young master, why do you come to such a place?"

Yan Xun had inquired that during the month when the cubs from the Yao Kingdom came, it was this Mrs. Zhang who helped cook and bring them here.The money allocated by the household department is not small, even if it is not so much in the hands of Mrs. Zhang, it is not enough to deliver hard and rough flour pancakes every seven days, and the food used is still moldy.

"You bought these things yourself with money?" Third Mrs. Zhang looked at Yan Xun contemptuously, "I'm afraid you are not a fool, could it be a monster pretending to be?"

Mrs. Zhang didn't leave, she circled around and stretched out her hand to pull the sack.

"If you don't leave, I will argue with you about where all the money allocated by the court has gone." Yan Xun said lightly, "Don't tell me that you only have a few coins in your hand. I have already inquired about it. The family was originally poor, but this month they married their son a daughter-in-law and spent more than a hundred taels of silver. The money allocated by the yamen has words, which can be seen at a glance."

"No, nothing." Mrs. Zhang was illiterate, thought what Yan Xun said was true, her face changed, she was startled, and hurried away.

The gate was open, no one helped, Yan Xun moved all the things in by himself, and piled up a small pile in the yard.

The main room door opened, and the monster from yesterday came out, looking at Yan Xun curiously.

Knowing that this time is the real deal, Yan Xun took a deep breath and smiled, "I am the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, I will be in charge of your food and drink from now on, my name is Yan Xun, how about you?"

The monster froze for a moment, then looked at Yan Xun fixedly, "&*￥&(￥#"

Yan Xun couldn't understand the words from the Yao Kingdom, it vaguely sounded like 'Jing Feng Ye'.

"Jing Fengye? Good name." Yan Xun slammed it on himself, and really thought it sounded good.

This time he brought a lot of things, Yan Xun had already thought about it, there is nothing here, everything needs to be bought, but first of all he has to make some food.Mrs. Zhang San got the letter today, and knowing that she doesn't need to come again in the future, she specially came to Honglu Temple to have a look, probably because she wanted to take something away.The yard may not have been so empty before, and Mrs. Zhang probably emptied it out.

The wing rooms on both sides of the courtyard must be rebuilt, but not now.Yan Xun took a look, chose a wall near the gate, and prepared to build a simple stove.

Put up a few stones, leave an air outlet, a firewood opening, and put clay pots on it, that's all.

Jing Fengye had been guarding Yan Xun's side all the time. When he saw the clay pot, he was even more curious, as if he wanted to reach out to touch it but dared not.

"This is a clay pot, haven't you seen it before?" Yan Xun took out another clay pot.

"I've seen it, only the big monster has it." Jing Fengye carefully held the clay pot, looking at it again and again.

After finding semolina and lard, Yan Xun found another problem when he was about to cook.There is no well in the yard, so it is too troublesome to go out to fetch water.

"Is there any water?" Yan Xun asked, and then remembered something, and asked, "How did you guys drink water this month?"

Just as Jing Fengye was about to speak, he hesitated again, "There is water. It's just..." The man in front of him was very good-looking and gentle, but he was a human being, not a monster, and was different from them.

"En?" Yan Xun didn't care about these things, he was not afraid of these monsters, and he came here for a purpose, so he quickly said that there is water, if there is no water, it will be inconvenient to do anything.

Jing Fengye still didn't dare to speak directly, but explained in a low voice.

After carefully listening to Jing Fengye's explanation, Yan Xun finally understood and couldn't help laughing.

Up until now, the cubs from the Yao Kingdom have been hiding in the house and did not dare to show their faces, and the little cub who can swim is the one that Yan Xun saw over the wall last time and was frightened.

The demon country was defeated, and the cubs sent as hostages were obviously selected. The king of the demon country may not be so willing in his heart; Daqin's attitude towards the cubs is also very intriguing.

Perhaps in their view, this is already a situation of immortality, but Yan Xun has seen more serious ones. In his previous life, what he needed to learn when he opened his eyes was how to kill monsters, and monsters had to learn how to kill humans as soon as they opened their eyes. .

At least not now.Now those little cubs are very scared, and there is no hostility in the eyes of this monster in front of him.

And now Yan Xun sees that Jing Fengye is not bad, and the cubs hiding in the house haven't done anything bad either.

"You go in with the clay pot and ask that cub to get some water." Yan Xun thought for a while, but didn't immediately ask for a meeting. "I need to clean the clay pot and prepare to cook."

Jing Fengye nodded and entered the house with the pot in his arms. The cubs immediately surrounded him and stared at the pot.

After getting water, Jing Fengye went out with the clay pot in his arms.

"It's really convenient." Yan Xun smiled and brushed the clay pot, and asked Jing Fengye to get water.

After going back and forth several times, Yan Xun didn't stare at the main room, he kneaded the semolina into dough smaller than a fingernail.Cut off a piece of pork suet and put it in a clay pot to boil, remove the fat residue, put in chopped lean meat and stir fry, then pour water, and burn on high heat.

There wasn't much grease residue, and it was served in a small wooden bowl. Yan Xun took a piece and ate it, "You take this to the cubs."

"En." Jing Fengye nodded.

When the pork suet was boiled, the scent wafted out, and the cubs hiding in the house had already started to salivate. After Jing Fengye entered the house with a small wooden bowl and ate the grease residue one by one, they all followed out of the yard and stood He had to look at Yan Xun from a distance.

When the water boiled, Yan Xun poured the small dough into it and boiled it.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yan Xun took out a bunch of wooden bowls, "Help me wash it."

Jing Fengye immediately knew what to do, he walked up to the cubs holding the small wooden bowl, asked one of the cubs to get water, he took a piece of cloth and gently scrubbed it, and then returned to Yan Xun holding the washed bowl .

Boil the pot in a clay pot, put salt at the end, taste the saltiness, Yan Xun said: "Okay. Who made the water just now, it's very powerful, you can be the first to drink the pimple soup."

Looking at the salty wooden bowl next to it, Jing Fengye smacked his mouth, he kind of wanted to be the first to drink this soup.

A group of cubs looked at each other, and finally they all looked at one of them.

It has a snake body, is a little short and fat, has a human face, round cheeks, black and big eyes, and the little cub with messy hair squirms and blushes.

"I'm going to serve dinner." Yan Xun took a wooden spoon and a wooden bowl.

The delicious smell rushed over, and the snake-bodied cub was no longer afraid or twitchy. It couldn't help swimming over, trying to straighten up, "It's me, I, I'm here."

"En." Yan Xun helped him serve a bowl of pimple soup.

The other cubs imitated Yan Xun's side one by one and waited, and they all got a bowl of pimple soup.In the end, Jing Fengye also came and waited. He squatted on the ground with a piece of animal skin around his waist. When he squatted down, he felt a little...

Yan Xun accidentally glanced at it, quickly looked away, filled a bowl for him, and finally served it for himself.

After eating the best meal, the cubs were finally not afraid of giving birth and sat in rows in the yard.

Jing Fengye squatted beside Yan Xun, but she had already put on the trousers Yan Xun brought, and did not reveal any parts that should not be exposed.

"Is the rice delicious just now?" Yan Xun asked.

"Fragrant." The cubs answered in unison.

Jing Fengye answered silently in his heart, 'fragrant', it was the best thing he had ever eaten.

"Then I will say a symbol now, if you can all remember it, we will eat something more delicious at noon." Yan Xun said with a smile, seeing the little cubs all smashing their mouths and nodding, he was more satisfied in his heart .

He plans to teach these cubs pinyin, these little cubs are blank paper, Yan Xun wants them to have a symbol of being close to humans.

When Yan Xun taught Pinyin, Jing Fengye squatted beside him silently, quickly remembering in his heart that he was the first to memorize everything, and the cubs were still trying to identify the first three letters.

When the cubs followed Yan Xun to read the pinyin, they were catchy and their childish voices were not small, they could be heard clearly outside the Honglu Temple.When the children in the neighborhood heard it, they thought it was taught by the private school teacher, so they all followed suit.

When Yan Xun made arrangements to come out, the guard Cao Xianfeng asked, "What is that?"

In fact, when the pimple soup was made in it, the aroma had already wafted out. The guards all smelled it and knew it was delicious, but those who said it was a mouthful, but it was not difficult to learn at all, and it was easy to remember. What is it.

"I made it up myself." Yan Xun said with a smile, "There must be a pastime."

The guard reported so.Naturally, I have never seen the letters above, but I knew it was not Yaoyu, so I really thought it was Yan Xun who made it up, and didn't take it to heart.

Yan Xun secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The reason why he taught the alphabet was also to test the attitude of the court. It seems that this is the case. If the court doesn't understand things, it doesn't care. I am afraid that if he enlightens the cubs, the guards outside will I'm afraid it will come in immediately to stop it.

Fortunately, the alphabet has passed the clear path, Yan Xun simply taught it openly, telling the cubs to hum when they have nothing to do, even if they learn slowly, they can always remember.

When he came to Honglu Temple again, Yan Xun bought a lot of suet.

"I'll come." The moment the door closed, Jing Fengye walked out immediately and took the heavy suet.In fact, he had been waiting for a long time, afraid that Yan Xun would not come again, he waited almost day and night without sleep.

"Clean the earthenware pot and boil suet." Yan Xun said.

The snake-bodied cub swam out on its own initiative, puffing its cheeks, "My lord, I'm here, how much water do I want?"

The other cubs all looked at the snake-bodied cub enviously, but he was the only one who helped the most and was the first one to eat every meal.

Yan Xun took out a long piece of wood and said, "I remember one of you has sharp claws, can you do me a favor?"

As long as you help, you will get the priority to eat. The other cubs deeply remembered this. Yan Xun made several meals in a row. They were no longer afraid. With long fur, the ferocious and terrifying cub came out, carefully holding its steel-like claws.

"Pull this wooden stick into a small square hole." Yan Xun drew a box with charcoal, "Like the one next to it, other cubs can help hold down the wooden block, and he may not be able to do it alone."

Jing Fengye cleaned the clay pot, put it on the simple stove, and waited obediently like cubs.

"Light a fire and boil all the suet." Yan Xun said, "Is the ashes soaked yesterday all cured?"

"En." Jing Fengye nodded, he didn't sleep last night, and he and the cubs took turns guarding the clay pot soaked in plant ash.

Yan Xun went over to look at it, and said with satisfaction, "I just want the water on top."

Re-boil the water soaked in plant ash, and then add the boiled pork suet.Yan Xun personally poured it into the cube hole dug by the cubs, smoothed the top, and when it solidified, the solidified cube that he took out was exactly what Yan Xun wanted.

Leaving Honglu Temple, seeing Yan Xun taking something out, the guard stopped him and asked, "What is this?"
