Cub Nursery

"No." Jing Fengye turned his head, not daring to look at Yan Xun, quickly folded the form in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

"You don't need to be so careful, I know what my body looks like very well." Yan Xun said, poking Jing Fengye up and down, "Today I insist on doing this, let's see how you are..."

Jing Fengye shrank back to the corner with his back arched, one hand still covering his bosom, as if he was afraid of Yan Xun poking him.

Yan Xun rushed over, lying on Jing Fengye's back, like a hooligan, "What are you hiding, let me see..."

Three times, five times, two times, Yan Xun took out a hard book, patted Jing Fengye, and sat on him by himself, leaning towards the window to read the book in his hand.

The outer skin was bare, nothing could be seen, Yan Xun thought it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he saw it, so he opened it casually...all white.

Closing the book with a 'snap', Yan Xun turned to look at Jing Fengye.

This adult monster knelt on the kang, just turned its head to look over, met Yan Xun's eyes, and smiled.

"What's so funny!" Yan Xun remembered that he just glanced at it and saw someone's face in it. The facial features in the painting were all the same as his own. It was obvious that Jing Fengye had been peeking at it these days and modified many paintings.

"My lord." Jing Fengye simply carried Yan Xun on his back and climbed around the kang, and said in a low voice, "Just bear with it for two more days, and wait for the third day..."

"Do you think I'm a child? Are you sure when will it be?" Yan Xun raised his foot and lightly kicked, and said angrily, "Shouldn't this be the result of love, unconsciously, will it come to fruition? Are you sure about that day? Wouldn't that be the same as visiting a brothel..."

But Yan Xun's lips were worn out, Jing Fengye just refused.

As a result, Yan Xun was really tired after all the tossing around, so he simply got into bed and slept, ignoring Jing Fengye.

Jing Fengye stood beside him silently, and when Yan Xun fell asleep, he took out the painting book in his hand and carefully put it in his bosom.

The two always respect each other as guests, and they are always a little flat. Occasionally, a little temper is like adding some sugar to the dish. Not to mention the freshness, the taste is more mellow.Yan Xun thought so, Jing Fengye thought about it every day and came up with something, naturally every time Yan Xun said something on purpose, he would also cooperate on purpose.

Unknowingly, the two of them had a better understanding.

The entire border town has changed drastically. If someone who has never been here before comes here again, he may not be able to recognize him.

The barren fields are green, and there are often brothers or children walking briskly on the field paths. If you see weeds, you must clear them.The mulberry tree grows very well, and new branches can be sprung out almost overnight. The buddies carry the baskets on their backs, specially pinch the young leaves, and walk briskly from the mulberry field to the silkworm house.

The children quickly picked the mulberry leaves, put them in the dustpan, and carried them into the silkworm house.

Silkworms start to change from small eggs. When the eggs are just broken, the threads are the same. Only children with good eyes can see the changes of silkworms clearly.Put finely cut young mulberry leaves on top, and the silkworms will find an easy place to eat.

The mulberry leaves are placed and cleaned every day, and the silkworms also change every day.

From their hair growing thicker than a finger to eating mulberry leaves faster, the children have to come to work at night and put the mulberry branches on it, and the mulberry leaves will be eaten up in a short time.

"My lord, come and take a look..." The Shaking Cub ran ahead, turning his head from time to time.

Yan Xun followed to the outside of the silkworm house, and washed his hands before going in. The children working inside all looked over with bright eyes.They didn't dare to look at Yan Xun directly like this at the beginning, thinking that Master Yan was a dignified official and would kowtow when meeting each other. Later, Yan Xun often brought the Shaking Mountain cubs, and the children slowly changed their minds: It turns out that Master Yan is like a neighbor. Like the elder brother of the family, he has no official authority at all, and he doesn't have to kneel when meeting.

Smiling at the children, Yan Xun picked up a handful of silkworms, looked at them, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's only been two days."

"En!" The children all held their heads high.

This is the silkworm they raised. When the cocoon is formed, they will be counted as a point of credit, and the money will be distributed according to the credit in the future.

The Shaking Mountain cub ran to the corner to talk to Brother Huan in a whisper. How many days had passed, and Brother Huan froze for a while, tall and thin. Seeing the Shaking Mountain Cub coming, he hurriedly led him Look at the silkworms you raise.

The children in the silkworm room are not fools, and the Shanshan cub is not tanned at all, he is born with such a tan, and he rarely has real contact with the children on weekdays, and he is very concerned about this.

And the Mountain Shaker cub has no name.

A smart child will know that the Shaking Mountain cubs are different from them as soon as they think about it, and a stupid child will also know that the Shaking Mountain cubs are different when they go home and talk to their parents.

He is no ordinary child, but a monster cub.

A very special, very special baby monster.

He is not like the monsters in the demon country, even when the cubs invade, he is extremely ferocious, with sharp teeth and hooked claws, even if he can't kill the Taoist soldiers, he can gnaw off several pieces of meat.

The children living in the border town have seen monster corpses even if they have never been on the battlefield. They are ferocious, terrifying, and blood-type. Even the corpses give people a cold-blooded and cruel feeling.

The Shaking Mountain cub is different. He wears clean clothes like the children, likes to eat once, has white and bright teeth, can recite poems, calculate accounts, and write. Although he has great strength, he has never bullied others.

He even pays great attention not to get in touch with the children, but he often helps the children, and the relationship with Brother Huan is especially good.

Except for his identity as a monster cub, he is exactly the same as other children, and even behaves better.

"Let's go to the next door and have a look." Yan Xun said with a smile when he saw Shashan Cub come out.

"En." Shaking Mountain Cub's face was flushed. He made an agreement with Brother Huan that Brother Huan would come to their place for dinner when they were resting.

Yan Xun also heard about this, he naturally agreed, it is a good thing that the cub Shaking Mountain has friends.

There are also many people in the next room who are busy working. Everyone is holding a wooden frame, cutting out the hard shell paper, and sticking it on one by one, forming small square spaces.

Put the finished wooden frame on the shelf, and when the silkworms are mature, put the silkworms on it, and they will naturally find spaces to cocoon.

After finishing all this work, Yan Xun let Shashan Cub play by himself, and went to find Jing Fengye by himself.

It was originally agreed to go to the border to see, but now he finally found an opportunity, Yan Xun naturally refused to let it go.

From the border town, you have to go through the continuous border town camp, and there is another city wall ahead, and the demon country is outside.When Yan Xun came to meet Cruz, the envoy from the Demon Kingdom, he took the same path, but he stayed in the carriage the whole time and didn't look outside.

Yan Xun and Jing Fengye took two iron donkeys from the train, and each rode one through the camp of the border town to the outer city wall.

The Taoist soldiers guarding the city didn't know these two people, so they hurried to the front to stop them, sizing Jing Fengye up and down with their eyes.The dragon scale marks on his face were too obvious, he looked like a monster at first glance, yet he was so blatant.

"Where's Yang Qiong?" Facing the scrutiny of the Taoist soldiers, Yan Xun remained calm.

Jing Fengye hurriedly stood behind Yan Xun, lowered her head, looking very cautious.

"What are you looking for, General Yang?" The Taoist soldier was very vigilant.

Because after passing this city wall, the outside is the border of the demon country, all the Taoist soldiers guarding the city must work hard, on the one hand to prevent the monsters from the demon country from sneaking attacks, and on the other hand to prevent people from going out of the city to die.

"Lord Yan?" Yang Qiong looked down from the city wall.

"It's me." Yan Xun nodded.

Once on the city wall, Yan Xun realized that the city wall here is different from the city wall of the border city. The steps under his feet are all huge boulders. The city wall is full of potholes, and it is easy for people with agility to climb up.

A tall city wall built of huge stones, the inside is extremely smooth and requires specific steps to climb up, while the outside is full of spots, patches of dark red, that is the color of blood precipitation, no matter how much rain it washes, it will not be washed clean .

The ground near the city wall was black and red, with no trees or grass growing.

"Master Yan, is something wrong?" Yang Qiong asked.

Since Yang Shuning also came to the border town, he didn't take power anymore, he directly came to the outer city wall as a young guard and rarely entered the camp.One is to show his attitude to the soldiers, and the other is his own persistence.

"I want to go down and have a look." Yan Xun said.

"No." Yang Qiong's face changed, "The ones who leave the city are all scouts, Mr. Yan...it's not appropriate."

The scouts are all elite Taoist soldiers, their cultivation level is comparable to that of a lieutenant general, and their cultivation level is comparable to that of a general like Wei Shoucheng.

Yang Qiong shook her head at Yan Xun.

Yan Xun has no cultivation, and his body is weaker than ordinary people.

"I know Master Yan wanted to say last time." Yang Qiong said, "It was different last time. The envoys sent by the demon country would not act, either on the surface or in secret, but it is different now. The scouts I sent out all It is the elite of the elite..."

And the demon country has been making small moves. The last time the demon country's envoy came, although Cruise didn't admit it, everyone knew that the bloodthirsty fish demon on the beach must have something to do with the demon country.

Seeing that Yan Xun was silent, Yang Qiong hurriedly looked at Jing Fengye, and said in a low voice, "You also agree?"

He knew that Jing Fengye and Yan Xun had an unusual relationship. To be precise, the relationship between the two was very good, they were about to become one person, and they gave birth to a baby egg. Jing Fengye would not agree to let Yan Xun be so capricious That's right.

"I'll listen to him." Jing Fengye said.

"The boundary of the Yao Kingdom is too dangerous. Even the generals dare not set foot on it easily. Mr. Yan is weak, so he must not do it." Yang Qiong still refused.

"I won't go very far. Don't you guys have guns and cannons? Even if monsters appear, they can be dealt with quickly. Besides, I will be very careful." Yan Xun said, "I have to go this time, someone else will go." I'm worried, I have to go in person. The fields in our border town are already different from those in Daqin, the crops can't grow, and there are very few trees, you all know this, right?"

When the border line was determined, we could see from some local chronicles that there were fertile fields in the border towns, and even some weeds grew in the territory of the demon country, and feeding them to pigs would have no effect.

This is not a very secret thing, and everyone in the border city knows it for a long time.

Yang Qiong moved her lips and found herself speechless.

He knew that what Yan Xun said was that he was going to step down the city wall and step on the land of the demon country to find out what caused the land in the border town to become worse and worse, why no crops could grow.

This is a major event for Daqin and the people, and he has no reason to stand in front of it.

"Let the scouts do it?" Yang Qiong thought for a while and asked again.

At any rate, the scouts are highly trained and often go out of the city.

"I still have to go." Yan Xun explained, "I don't have cultivation, this is one of the differences, maybe you people with cultivation will change the things you get."

"I'll arrange someone." Yang Qiong sighed, and realized that as a student of the Imperial College, no one could speak up to him for his eloquence, but now he suddenly realized that he couldn't speak up to Yan Xun at all.

Yan Xun blocked what he wanted to say with a few words, so he could only prepare.

Soon, the Taoist soldiers were all ready with their guns, and the cannons were pushed to the front, covered with oiled paper cloth, and the oiled paper cloth was only lifted when it was needed.

Seeing that Yang Qiong had arranged some scouts for him, Yan Xun waved his hand to signal no need, he calmly went down the city wall, and went out through the small door just opened.Jing Fengye followed behind, his whole body tensed, with guns on his waist and hands, afraid of the sudden appearance of monsters.

There was a fishy smell coming from outside, Yan Xun knew that it was the smell only from the land that has been bleeding for many years.

As far as the eye could see, it was all dry grass, not a single tree, and no living things could be seen.There was silence, there was no sound of insects and birds, only the rustling of shoes on the withered grass.

"My lord." Jing Fengye tensed his body, seeing Yan Xun walking forward, couldn't help but said, "Isn't it possible here?"

"En, let's go further." Yan Xun put his hands behind his back, looking relaxed, but in fact his body was also tense, he would not be arrogant and think that he was absolutely safe, it's just that this time he was replaced by someone else with no cultivation. He was not at ease when people came out, so he could only come by himself.

The demon country in his previous life was different from the one he saw now. Yan Xun still remembered that he once broke into it. What he saw was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. There was also no grass growing on the ground. A group of monsters snatched many people and grabbed them back to their lairs to eat.

At that time, he killed those monsters, and the people who were robbed had already turned into corpses. He wanted to save them, but there was nothing he could do.

It's not that the force is not enough, but that there is no way to save those people.

Now that he is walking unarmed in the border of the demon country, he feels a lot of emotion in his heart.

"My lord?" Jing Fengye keenly sensed what Yan Xun seemed to be thinking.Yan Xun in his eyes suddenly became a little trance-like, as if he might disappear at any time, he took a closer look and found that it was just his own illusion.

Even so, Jing Fengye also had a huge fear in his heart, fearing that something would happen to Yan Xun.

"It's okay." Yan Xun came back to his senses, "Let's just stay here."

Jing Fengye hurriedly took out a small shovel and glass tubes one by one, and took out the earth, rocks, nearby dead grass, and a drop of water on the dead grass.No living things were found nearby, nor were there any corpses, so Jing Fengye had no choice but to give up.

"Let's go back?" After packing up the glass tube, Jing Fengye hurriedly stood up and looked around.

He is a monster, and he is also a monster from the demon country, but he is out of tune with this place.

Yan Xun looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and there was an open space. There seemed to be some greenery far away, but he couldn't be sure whether it was a mirage, an illusion, or the real greenness.

"Are there monsters guarding the border in the demon kingdom?" Yan Xun said to himself.

Jing Fengye shook his head, he didn't know.

"Let's go." Yan Xun stood for a while, then slowly turned around.

There is no wind here, no unnecessary sounds, and there is a dead silence everywhere, which is incompatible with the border town and makes people instinctively repel.

For so many years, Daqin has been guarding the border. Even if he defeated Yaoguo once, he never took the opportunity to ask for land compensation, because the land of Yaoguo is different from that of Daqin, and it is useless to ask for it.

Jing Fengye immediately stood behind Yan Xun, looking around vigilantly.

They walked very slowly, and the marks under their feet were very shallow and would disappear quickly.I stepped on the withered grass and left marks, and when I looked back, the withered grass stood up again at some point.

"My lord..." Jing Fengye looked back, only felt the creeps on his skin, hurried up to follow Yan Xun.

When he was in the capital, relying on his good ears, he secretly overheard other people telling stories about folk ghosts.At this moment, Jing Fengye suddenly thought of those stories, and almost got goosebumps all over her body.

Yan Xun, on the other hand, was very calm, "The worst case is that monsters appear suddenly, and we can't dodge them in time. But even so, the guns on the city wall will let them know how powerful they are... There should be no bloodthirsty fish monsters here who are so insane , I only know about the monsters that come ashore, otherwise the border town will never be peaceful."

Yan Xun walked and talked eloquently, at the same time stretched his hand behind, and gently twisted Jing Fengye's hand.

"My lord." Jing Fengye lowered his face.

He also noticed.

The soil under my feet is much softer in some places, but it was not like this when I came here. The only explanation is that there is something in the soil.

Yan Xun still walked unhurriedly, and said calmly, "No rush."

He took out a mirror from his arms, and while walking slowly, pointed the mirror at the top of the city wall.It may not be obvious from below, but Yang Qiong was dazzled by the sun in the mirror.

"Binoculars!" Yang Qiong's expression changed, and he immediately took the binoculars and looked over for himself.

Soon, he saw Yan Xun's hint.

The Taoist soldiers on the city wall began to prepare quietly, and the muzzles of the dark guns were quietly aimed at the bottom, just waiting for an order.

"How fast can you run?" Yan Xun asked suddenly.

"Soon." Jing Fengye replied.

"Then let's run." Yan Xun said, "Even if we get to the gate of the city like this, those things will definitely burst into flames uncontrollably. Why don't we run early, and the pressure on the gate of the city will be less."

"Okay." Jing Fengye agreed.

When they found something in the soil, Yan Xun and Jing Fengye still took it easy.Just like what he said, the monsters that Border Town had to face were different from the bloodthirsty fish monsters. They had brains and could think about things. Seeing how calm they were, they thought they were not weak.

And Jing Fengye is also a monster.

When all aspects are ready, it is naturally time to fight back.

Jing Fengye held Yan Xun in his arms, and with the wind blowing under his feet, he suddenly accelerated and ran away.

The ground behind him was quiet for a moment, then violently rose up, chasing after Jing Fengye.

The city gate was ahead, Jing Fengye rushed up non-stop, and the thing chasing after him was knocked down by the gun after more than ten steps away.The small door slammed shut, revealing only a small opening, and the gun was fired.

Jing Fengye was sweating all over, holding Yan Xun trembling all over.

"Very good." Yan Xun patted Jing Fengye on the shoulder, "If we take people out, it will be so mighty, I'm afraid the things in the soil will be frightened and violent."

"My lord." Jing Fengye lowered his head to look at Yan Xun, leaned into his neck, and sniffed his breath.

When running back, Jing Fengye felt his heart was about to jump out. He was afraid that Yan Xun would get hurt, and he thought about what to do if there was an ambush ahead, what if he was caught up, he wanted to protect Yan Xun, What if it can't be protected?

Fortunately, everything went well and he came back.

The gate of the outer city is a poured copper gate, which weighs several thousand catties, so heavy that it is impossible to open it with ordinary manpower, and it needs someone who has the cultivation level of a general to do it himself.There are small doors on both sides, which are also poured with copper juice, which is extremely heavy.

At this time, the thing chasing Yan Xun bumped into the door, listening inside, there was only a slight muffled sound.

"It's okay." Yan Xun realized that he hadn't been put down yet, so he could only pat Jing Fengye's shoulder lightly.

Jing Fengye was still trembling, and he even began to regret why he agreed with Yan Xun to go out.Even if Yan Xun is unscathed at this moment, he is still very afraid, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

He thought he valued Yan Xun enough, held him in his heart, held him on top of his heart, but after experiencing this, he found that it was not enough.

From now on, I don't want him to be exposed to any danger anymore, as long as he stands in front of anything.

Jing Fengye had a gloomy face, remorse for his decision, not against Yan Xun.He let go of his hand and put Yan Xun on the ground, staring at him with his eyes unblinking.

"Go to the city wall to have a look." Yan Xun moved his wrist, lifted his foot and left.

After walking two steps, he realized that Jing Fengye hadn't followed, Yan Xun turned his head and saw the expression on his face, he was taken aback for a while, and after a few turns in his heart, he knew what he was thinking.

This adult monster is constantly changing and has more and more thoughts, Yan Xun only talks to him occasionally at night when he is not resting, and rarely pays attention to these things on weekdays.

At this time Yan Xun suddenly realized that he had been ignoring him all this time.

Turning around and coming back, Yan Xun held Jing Fengye's hand, and the warmth of the palm passed over, Yan Xun whispered: "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sure of everything, even if those things are lying in front of me, I'm sure I can kill them .Don't treat me like a fragile tofu. Although I have no cultivation, I am stronger than any ordinary person."

Yan Xun also has a gun in his arms, and it is a smaller one made by the black and white cubs and the flame cubs separately. The bullets are different, the power is greater, and the recoil is smaller. Yan Xun will not be shocked when he shoots a shot The whole body is numb.

His marksmanship is very good, almost without fail, many Taoist soldiers are not his opponents.

"Besides, there is still you." Yan Xun leaned closer, put his forehead against Jing Fengye's, and said in a low voice, "I have always believed in you and never doubted your ability. Those ambushing things are nothing more than We hide only when we are not strong enough, otherwise why hide. So we have nothing to be afraid of..."

Yan Xun's voice was beautiful, clear and slightly bright, like pearls falling on a jade plate, Jing Fengye slowly regained consciousness, her body stopped shaking, and she looked down at Yan Xun's smiling face.

It was indeed dangerous just now, but not to such a serious extent.

"My lord, I'm sorry." Jing Fengye's voice was hoarse. He felt that his thoughts were too narrow, and he always wanted to hide Yan Xun in the safest and safest place, so that no one could see him, and he was not allowed to go to other places. place, only you guard him.

Looking at Yan Xun at this time, Jing Fengye felt that he was very weak, and that he might not be able to protect him for the rest of his life.
