Cub Nursery

"A Zhu! Is that you? Am I dreaming?" Xiao Pao'er kept rubbing her eyes, but she didn't dare to rub her eyes many times. She could always see the snake body cub lying in front with the tip of its tail flickering, looking It's so vivid, it's not like a dream at all.

"It's me." The snake cub swam forward, took out a piece of caramel from its bosom and put it in Xiao Pao'er's hand, "This is newly made caramel, it tastes a bit sour, try it."

Xiao Pao'er subconsciously opened the caramel, and put the square caramel inside into his mouth.

Very sweet, a little sour, the secretion of saliva is involuntary, it is delicious and delicious sugar!

"Is it convenient for you now? There is still a cub waiting outside, and two horses..." The snake cub swam around Xiao Pao'er, ate a piece of candy himself, and puffed up his cheeks. , "Have you lost weight?"

"No?" Little Pao'er hastily touched his face.

With a sweet and sour taste in his mouth, he was finally sure that the snake body cub was real. He was uncontrollably happy, and there was a big smile on his face. He gently touched the tip of the snake body cub's tail, happy Said: "There is another cub? Then please invite him in."

"Well, is the back door easy to open?" the snake-body cub asked.

"Of course. The front can also be driven, I'll try to drive them away." Xiao Pao'er said while patting his chest.

"Let's go to the back door, it's more convenient." The snake-body cub hurriedly said.

The little cub followed Xiao Pao'er, shaking his head happily.He already knew that Xiao Pao'er was a very reliable friend. Although they only spoke a few words when they first met, the snake body cub still felt that some friends were doomed for the rest of their lives when they met for the first time. Even if we meet every day, we will never become friends for the rest of our lives.

There was no one at the back door, so Xiao Pao'er pushed aside the patrolling guard yard, stepped forward to open the door, and went out with the snake cub.

Behind the corner, the long-haired cub was riding on a horse, hunched its neck, and carefully listened to the movement on the other side of the courtyard wall.

He heard that the snake-body cub met Xiao Pao'er by chance, and heard them talking and laughing, envy involuntarily showed in their eyes.

The snake-body cub and Xiao Pao'er came out from the back door, just behind the corner of the courtyard wall. Although the long-haired cub couldn't see them, they could hear their voices more clearly.

"He is also a young scholar, very knowledgeable." The snake-body cub said.

Xiao Pao'er looked envious, "It's amazing, I just started studying now, and I feel dizzy every day, and it's hard to memorize."

"Learning is not easy. The demon city is far away from the capital, and pinyin literacy has not been popularized yet. I will get you a few books later, and you can learn it." The snake-body cub shook his head and said, "Little Pao'er is also very good, and has already started studying at a young age."

"You cubs are even better." Little Pao'er was really envious, "If I now have the fame of a scholar, I must feel that I can fly to the sky."

"Scholar's fame is really nothing. We are lucky to have an adult from my family teaching and learning." The snake-body cub was humble.

"You made the train too, right? It's really amazing. I played with the mechanism you gave me last time, but I didn't understand it for a long time. Even the most powerful craftsman in Demon Extinguishing City couldn't understand it." Little Pao'er said. The envy is beyond words, and he is even more proud of having friends like the snake-bodied cub.

The snake-body cub flicked the tip of its tail and nodded reservedly, "The train was helped by my adults, otherwise we wouldn't be able to build it. Moreover, it takes many people to help with such a big train, not our cubs." Thanks to you."

"That's amazing too." Little Pao'er patted her chubby face and said happily, "I'm about to meet two little cubs, I'm so lucky and happy."

Their voices were not loud, but in the ears of the long-haired cub, they were like thunder.

Once upon a time, apart from a few friends who agreed with them, the cubs heard most of their hostility towards monsters, their doubts about these cubs, and their undisguised disgust.

They are monster cubs, it is normal to be hated by humans, but they will still take it to heart, feel sad and sad.

Once upon a time, the cubs could only pretend not to hear those doubts and curses directed at them, and just listened attentively to what their friends said, forgetting those malicious efforts.

However, the more this is the case, the cubs will cherish every friend more and more.

The long-haired cub got off the horse, and he was about to meet a new friend, and that new friend was looking forward to it and happy, and he was also very happy. Without knowing it, he puffed up his chest, and the confidence in his heart was born spontaneously.

He stood beside the war horse, waiting eagerly.

Finally, Little Pao'er and the snake-body cub came out of the corner at the same time.

"That's him." The snake-bodied cub pointed at the long-haired cub with the tip of its tail.

The long-haired cub looked at Little Pao'er.

"Little scholar!" Little Pao'er took two steps forward, looking at the long-haired cub carefully, "You are as powerful as Ah Zhu!"

"En." The long-haired cub nodded reservedly.

These cubs have achieved the fame of scholar, and they have indeed studied hard. Even now, they have not given up on studying, because there will be examinations for Juren and Jinshi in the future, and they still need to study more things and need more knowledge. knowledge.

Life-long learning.

"This is the border town horse, right?" Xiao Pao'er looked up at the tall war horse, "I also have horses at home, but they are not as tall as the border town horse. My father said that only the border town war horse is the best in the whole of Daqin, but it's a pity beg."

"The border town is different from other places, and the war horses raised are naturally different." The long-haired cub explained softly.

Little Bubble nodded.

Two cubs, a child, and two war horses came in through the back door so lightly, and then went all the way into the yard where Xiao Paoer lived, and into the house.

When he arrived in the house he was familiar with, Xiao Pao'er was busy running around, with sweat on his face, "This is hot tea, put it near the charcoal basin, otherwise it will be cold. And these snacks are all made by the cook in the morning , it seems to be a bit cold... I remember there are still some dried meat, which is very delicious when grilled on a charcoal basin..."

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find dried meat, Xiao Pao'er was busy roasting it, sweating all over from exhaustion.

There was no one else in the room, only the three of them, the snake cub and the long-haired cub were sitting on the bench, leaning on the charcoal fire, and Xiao Pao'er was squatting in front of the charcoal basin, busy drying the meat.

This moment seems like an eternity.

Even if Xiao Pao'er grows up in the future, sees more and makes more friends, he still won't forget this moment.

"Little Pao'er, do you want to go to the roadside to see the big monster?" The dried meat was roasted, and the outside was a little burnt. The cub curled up with the tip of its tail, blew it, and took a big bite. stand up.

"My family paid a lot of money, so I definitely want to go." Xiao Pao'er didn't have the nerve to say that she only went to pay the money to see the cub in the body of a snake.

However, the cub with the snake body can still guess that Xiao Pao'er's family has a good reputation in Demon Slayer City, and he is not the kind of family who spends money to watch big demons on the side of the road for selfish reasons.

"It's different this time." The snake cub said, "I have pills here. If you want to go, you can take the pills in advance. It's a bit bitter, so you can use candied fruit to suppress it. Also, my adults are worried... "

The two war horses quickly left Demon Slayer City and returned to the camp.

The long-haired cub got off the horse and waited for the snake-bodied cub to quickly enter the tent.

"How?" Yan Xun first looked at the two cubs up and down, seeing that they were all intact and in good spirits, he asked.

"It's all done." The snake-body cub said, "I also bought a lot of food."

The long-haired cub was carrying a very large burden and put it down with a 'boom'.

"What's there?" Yan Xun approached with great interest, "The last time I attacked and destroyed the demon city, I left without eating anything after entering the city. However, the demon city should be different from the border town, because crops can be grown here , the population is also large..."

"Dried meat is the most in Demon Extinguishing City, and it tastes better when it's roasted on the fire. There's also this kind of food, which is rarely seen in other places, and it's delicious when baked into pancakes." The snake-body cubs stepped forward and explained one by one.

The Shaggy Cub took out everything.

"It just so happens that we will eat this today." Yan Xun looked at it and made a decisive decision.

The two cubs brought back not much food, but the taste was excellent, Yan Xun and the cubs were full.

After passing the Demon Extinguishing City, the frontier city is ahead.

Ruan Duanxi's forehead was sweating more and more, and when the cold wind blew, it almost froze, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Along the way, he received a lot of money, and countless people tried their best to get in touch with him, which gave him the illusion that he had become the minister of Honglu Temple.However, Qi Daxi was by Ruan Duanxi's side all the way. Although the other two big monsters rarely spoke, every time Ruan Duanxi saw them, he could see extremely malicious eyes.

Krusi and West Wind are also among them, plus the incomparably huge Du Meiqi.

The pressure brought by the five big monsters often made Ruan Duanxi feel that he was about to pee his pants uncontrollably, so he could only drink less water, or even not drink water, even if his mouth was dry.

In front of them is the Demon Extinguishing City, Ruan Duanxi took a breath, and said to his confidants: "You collect the money and put it in the city for now, and when I bring the soldiers back to the capital, you can go out of the city with the money."

"Lord Ruan, there are still a few adults in the city who want to invite you to a banquet." The confidant said in a low voice.

"Let's talk about it when we return to Beijing." A trace of disgust flashed in Ruan Duanxi's eyes, "Mie Yaocheng is extremely poor, with so little money, and you tell them that if you want to see me, you must at least be sincere." If there is not enough sincerity, he will definitely not Go to destroy the demon city.

At the beginning, Yan Xun pointed out that with more than 200 men, he easily captured the demon city, and kept breaking into the Yamen.

This kind of city, I'm afraid it's just that good, Ruan Duanxi can't help but drift, and doesn't pay attention to the demon city.

Watching his confidant leave, Ruan Duanxi took a breath, turned around, and happily walked towards Qi Daxi with a smiling face.

"Master Ruan." Qi Daxi took a sip of soup and said slowly, "Can I meet the 20 people I want now?"

"This... I'm afraid there's something wrong. It's not too late to see you outside the outer city wall." Ruan Duanxi said with a smile on his face.

They served delicious food and drink along the way, and that Du Meiqi even ate truckloads of food. Ruan Duanxi was unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it, and even ordered his subordinates to make some delicious food.

Qi Daxi rolled his eyes and looked at the Taoist soldiers in the distance, "Are they among these Taoist soldiers? What I want are scholars, not beggars."

"This..." Ruan Duanxi hated in his heart. He clearly said that it was a beggar. There were adults in the capital secretly preparing. This time, he sent his confidants to bring the beggar and mixed them with the Taoist soldiers. They were scattered and unknown. Unknowingly.

Now that Qi Daxi changed his words again, Ruan Duanxi was a little annoyed.

He was going to the border town soon, and the Taoist soldiers stationed there would definitely not let Qi Daxi be so arrogant, and he was obviously coming to the end, but at this time a moth appeared.

"How old is the little brother who waits by your side? He looks good." Qi Daxi glanced at the little brother who was following Ruan Duanxi, and said with a half-smile, "I don't even have a waiter by my side, hey..."

Ruan Duanxi immediately pushed the little brother beside him out, "Brother Lian, why don't you hurry up and serve the envoy, why are you so shameless?"

Brother Lian staggered a few steps forward, raised his head and happened to meet Qi Daxi's eyes, his body froze immediately, tears streaming down his face, he turned and knelt down in front of Ruan Duanxi, begging: "My lord, please don't, please. I , I am pregnant with your child..."

"If I let you accompany me, I will accompany you well. How can there be so much nonsense, do you still want to kill yourself?" Ruan Duanxi said in disgust, "I told you at the beginning, don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have!"

"But..." Brother Lian rubbed his belly, refusing to give up.

When Ruan Duanxi saw that he was cute and cute, he redeemed him, saying that he would not be allowed to conceive a child, and that he would drink soup and medicine every day, but he had been serving Ruan Duanxi all the way away from Beijing, so he had no time to cook medicine.

Ruan Duanxi tortured him a lot along the way, his face was twisted and he cursed in a low voice, Brother Lian didn't dare to listen carefully.

"Go over!" Ruan Duanxi raised his foot and kicked Brother Lian's stomach, sending him flying.

"My lord..." Brother Lian flew to Qi Daxi's feet.

Qi Daxi raised his foot, lightly kicked Brother Lian, lifted him aside and said: "It's a pity that he looks so good, it's not enough after just a few hits."

"Qidaxi." Du Meiqi's rumbling voice sounded like thunder, "Let him go."

"I didn't want his life." Qi Daxi glanced at Du Meiqi, turned around and no longer looked at Brother Lian.

Ruan Duanxi glanced at Qi Daxi carefully, and hurriedly ordered the people around him to carry brother Lian away, and couldn't help saying in disgust, "I just can't do it, I just fainted after a few strokes, and I haven't seen you on the way How he is, should be pretending."

"Heh..." Qi Daxi sneered.

Ruan Duanxi didn't dare to make any more troubles, so he hurriedly removed all the people serving him, and quickly ordered to leave the camp and set off.

On the side of the road ten miles outside of Demon Extinguishing City, many people have long been looking forward to it.

Xiao Pao'er's family also came.

"Little Pao'er, that little cub really said that?" Little Pao'er's father asked worriedly.

"It's absolutely true. Dad, did you see that? There is only one floor of Taoist soldiers on the side of the road, and they have been replaced." Xiao Pao'er pointed to the front and said, "Everyone on the side of the road has seen a doctor before, Yan The adults also took the list. What about now? Whoever gives more money can come. Father, do you think this is the same?"

"Last time, I saw that the big demon was not that scary, but Mr. Yan is a little scary, easily destroying the demon city."

"Father, don't talk about it, the big monster is coming soon, just watch it." Xiao Pao'er said confidently, "A Zhu said this is a lesson for some people."

Ruan Duanxi rode a horse, looking at the people looking forward to the roadside, he couldn't help holding his head high.

Although he has experienced such a big scene countless times, he still enjoys it very much every time.

Qi Daxi took a step behind, looked at the excited people on the side of the road, and then at the row of Taoist soldiers on the side of the road, then opened his mouth and yelled at them.

The other big monsters all looked at the side of the road, and their gazes were as real as knives.

At the front, Ruan Duanxi walked the distance lightly and dizzily, and continued to move forward.

Qi Daxi roared all the way from behind, and pieces fell on the side of the road.

The Taoist soldiers who came from the capital camp behind all turned a blind eye, pretending not to see the people on the side of the road turning their backs.

"Don't forget to go to the brother who reported to Mr. Ruan, and he killed him directly."

"Even if we see it, there is nothing we can do, it won't help."

"Who knows that the big demon still has such abilities. When you get to the border town, ask the general in the border town."

"There's nothing we can do."

The Taoist soldiers of the capital camp stepped forward without looking sideways, and left this hellish road.

Xiao Pao'er climbed to a high place, looked at the fallen people on both sides of him, and shouted: "Father, did you see that? Even Taoist soldiers fell."

"Quickly order them down, disperse them, and wait for Master Yan."

"Father, do you believe my words now?"

"I believe it."

When Yan Xun rushed up from behind, the people on the side of the road had already made arrangements.

Yan Xun ran around on the horse and said: "Leave the soup and medicine, we will detour and rush to the border town! Full speed!"

"Yes!" The Daoist suddenly answered yes!

Leaving Demon City, Yan Xun rode his horse and ran in the front. He was wearing a battle robe, holding a battle umbrella, and looked ahead firmly.

Behind them were the cubs, 250 Taoist soldiers, and [-] men who quickly lined up.

Yan Xun is the sharpest striker, he takes the lead and goes forward without hesitation.

There is no stopping on the road, that is, eating and making conveniences are all carried out on horseback, and continue on the road.

When he saw the extremely quiet workshop at the foot of the mountain, Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief, and said loudly, "Go to the umbrella workshop!"

"Yes!" The Taoist soldiers behind shouted louder than ever.

Ever since they left the capital, they already knew about the green shirts, the green umbrellas, and the mysterious umbrella-making workshop.

At the foot of the mountain, a quiet umbrella-making workshop stands there. From a distance, there are layers of concrete buildings, huge concrete floors, huge gates, puffs of black smoke from the chimney, and vigilant A man standing on a watchtower.

In the binoculars, Yan Xun, who is riding the horse in front, is very clear, behind him are the cubs, and a little behind are Da Shan, Shen Shulang and Tie Niu, and behind him are scattered men and three thousand soldiers.

The dust splashed by the horse's hoof shot straight into the sky, and the man quickly ran down the watchtower, shouting loudly: "Lord Yan is here!"

"Woo..." Yan Xun tightened the reins, the horse stopped, and he shouted, "Otter!"

"Here!" The otters came out more and more.

"You take three thousand Taoist soldiers to rest here." Seeing the otter responding, Yan Xun looked at the green bird, "You still have cubs, follow me into the workshop!"

"Yes!" Green Bird agreed loudly.

When he came to the umbrella-making workshop, he left, and now he came back, but he didn't stay here. He knew what these guys were going to do.

Since he got the umbrella, he has been playing with it day and night, sleeping in his arms at night, even in his dream, he is also familiar with the parts of the umbrella, and now he dares to say that his understanding of the umbrella is unprecedented. I am more familiar with polishing the parts of the umbrella before!
