Cub Nursery

"That's Krusi, not a big monster." The baby was short, so he climbed up Yan Xun's clothes, hanging in the middle to be at the same level as Brother Zhuang.

There is a transparent glass wall in front, and one can clearly see Crusy lying on the bed, with benches, small cabinets, etc. next to it, the room is clean, and the sun shines in through the window.Even if it is winter at this time, it is definitely not cold in the house.

"Krusi, I have been to Daqin twice as an envoy of the Demon Kingdom." Yan Xun said calmly, "Seriously wounded Dao soldiers 89, destroyed countless houses of the people, and was involved in some cases. I don't want to go into details here, everyone didn't read carefully Let's pass Cruxi, he is not a big monster, just an ordinary monster..."

The glass wall is not completely sound-proof, and Yan Xun's voice reached Krussy's ears, which was very harsh.

He began to struggle, looking fiercely at Yan Xun outside the glass wall, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

"Treacherous and cunning human beings, if you have the ability to fight me with real swords and guns!" Krusi's lips squirmed, cursing, "If you weren't despicable and shameless, how could we big monsters be controlled, and now let these ordinary people come here Insulting me, I will definitely sue the Tiger Demon King..."

The people outside the glass wall are not cultivated. They stare at Krusi like a monkey in a cage. The subtle, detailed, and vivid expressions on their faces are constantly enlarged in Krushy's eyes, becoming contempt and insult to him.

He struggled with all his strength, but he couldn't even lift a small paw.

"Everyone be careful, he is very treacherous." Bao Bao said loudly, "At that time, who would have thought that he would run away from Honglu Temple? Lu Temple will also arrange Taoist soldiers to escort him."

Saying that, the baby glanced at Krusi in the glass wall, and looked away with a stern face.

Crucy gritted his teeth.

"He's asleep." Brother Zhuang leaned over the glass wall and looked at it for a while and whispered, "He's not moving."

"Yeah, he's bored in the room, he might as well sleep." Yan Xun led everyone to move on, to see the other monsters.

A monster lying motionless like this, even if it is a big monster, does not seem to be a threat.

However, including Brother Zhuang, Brother Ming, and others, all of them are stern-faced. They all grew up in the border city and have experienced countless times of monsters attacking the city. After seeing the tragic situation of the relatives around him, he can better understand the horror of these monsters.

Therefore, even though these monsters did not seem to be threatening, everyone was still tense.

Returning to the gate of the train station after watching the tour, Brother Ming leaned into Yan Xun's ear and asked in a low voice, "Are those big monsters detained in the border town? Will the Demon Council send another big monster?"

"I won't hold them all the time." Yan Xun hurriedly said, "If the demon country sends more big monsters, they will be detained together. If we can take down four big monsters, we can take down forty big monsters... "

"En!" The baby nodded with a stern face, touched his chin with his chubby little hand and said, "The big monster is very difficult to kill, and now I can only rely on the help of my brothers to control it. At present, this is the only way, but if the big monster overwhelming Come on, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"I haven't seen so many big monsters coming over these years, and there are no such rumors." Brother Ming said, "There shouldn't be many big monsters coming."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He shouldn't have asked such things, and Yan Xun shouldn't have said them to him.

However, he still asked, and Yan Xun didn't say anything embarrassing, and even Bao Bao added.

If it was the generals of the border town camp, Brother Ming would never dare to ask, nor should he ask, but seeing Yan Xun now, he couldn't help forgetting the identity of Yan Xun's imperial envoy Generalissimo, and always felt that there was something between them. Closer and easier to say those words.

"Brother Huan is busy these two days, let's have dinner together tonight, the cubs miss him." Yan Xun laughed, "Brother Dan also wants to meet Brother Huan."

"Can I go too?" Brother Zhuang hurriedly asked, "I also want to meet Brother Dan."

"Okay." Yan Xun patted Brother Zhuang's little head and said, "Brother Dan will definitely be very happy."

Brother Zhuang straightened out his small chest, raised his head unconsciously, and raised his face slightly.

He just met a very small baby, and found that the baby is very powerful. The little brother is even smaller, so he should also be very powerful. He likes such a powerful friend!

Separated from everyone, Yan Xun came back with the baby and saw Brother Dan riding a mini donkey around the house, hurriedly said: "New friends are coming tonight, brother Huan is coming too, everyone get ready. Brother Dan ..."

"Got it." Brother Dan hurriedly stopped, pushed the miniature iron donkey to the door and put it away, ran in, climbed up the kang along the rope ladder on the side, opened his wooden cabinet, got in and groaned He flipped.

In addition to the wooden cabinet for the nest and the wooden cabinet for the clothes, each cub also has a wooden cabinet for some strange things.

For example, there is a small medicine box in the wooden cabinet of the flower tree cub, some wood and iron pieces in the wooden cabinet of the claw cub, and paper, pens and some weird things in the black and white cub wooden cabinet. There are blueprints that he can understand, and there are many folk cheats in the War Rabbit Cub wooden cabinet. Most of them are useless, and they have the right to read them as ghosts.

And Brother Dan's wooden cabinet contains all kinds of things.

"Brother, what do you think of this mechanism?" Brother Dan pulled out a wooden chicken.

There is a metal handle on the back of the wooden chicken. After twisting it a few times and then releasing it, the wooden chicken will move forward while shaking its head to make a pecking motion.

Baby Da Da Da went to the wooden chicken and looked around, and said, "Very good, the feathers on the wood are not very obvious, why don't you ask my brother to help you carve it?"

"I think so too." Brother Dan nodded hastily.

So the two little cubs each held a wooden chicken mechanism and came to the Claw Cub for help.

Cub Claws helped to carve lifelike feathers, Bao Bao and Brother Dan found paints and dyed them bit by bit.

When Brother Huan brought Brother Zhuang into the house at night, he saw two lifelike chickens walking around on the ground, making pecking movements.

"Is this a chicken?" Brother Zhuang asked with bright eyes.

He has eaten canned braised chicken legs and seen chickens painted on walls, but he has never seen a real chicken.

The border town was bitterly cold. Before the construction of the border town train station and before Yan Xun came, there was almost no meat to eat here, let alone live chickens, even eggs.In the border town, all you can eat is dry grain.

"It's still a little smaller than a decent chicken." Brother Dan ran over and gestured, "The claws should be bigger and taller. But they all look exactly the same, and the mechanisms inside completely imitate the movements of chickens. It's bionics."

"Wow, it's amazing." Brother Zhuang walked over cautiously, squatted down, and carefully looked at this wooden chicken that was almost fake.

Even Brother Huan's eyes were shining, and he stood aside reservedly, looking at the non-stop moving wooden chicken with his eyes unblinking.

"These two are for each of you, and you share among yourself." Brother Dan stood aside proudly, with one hand on his hip, and said loudly very proudly.

"Ah..." Brother Zhuang couldn't help exclaiming, "Such a miraculous mechanism is actually going to be given to me, I, I dare not take it..."

"Take it, I still have a lot." Brother Dan walked up to Brother Zhuang, stretched out his hand to grab his trousers, and said happily, "I heard that you want to know me, so this meeting gift is very appropriate. And I will show you more interesting tricks in the future."

Just as he was talking, Yan Xun shouted from the room next door.

Brother Dan hurriedly said: "Father called us to eat, hurry up and choose."

The mechanism in front of me is vivid, if it is not for the obvious handle on the back, it is impossible to tell that it is fake just by looking at the front.

Brother Zhuang couldn't put it down after just seeing it at the first glance. Now he was urged by Brother Dan, so he quickly took the one closest to him, and said to Brother Dan, "Thank you. Oh, by the way, my daddy Sewn a lot of gloves..."

Cotton is produced in the border town, and Yan Xun told Brother Huan before winter came, and some of the cotton was distributed separately to everyone, and the cotton cloth was also sold at a very low price.

When the border town enters winter, almost every household has thick cotton-padded quilts and thick cotton-padded jackets, and some ingenious brothers even sewed thick cotton-padded shoes, not only that, but also cotton-padded hats, cotton-padded gloves, etc. , Wearing it on the body can't blow in the wind, and it can't be frozen through, which is completely different from the previous days.

This time Brother Zhuang came with Brother Huan, and Brother Xu took out all the cotton gloves he sewed, not only for the cubs, but even Yan Xun had new ones.

The cotton gloves of Brother Dan and Baobao are the smallest, round and round like a ball, tied with a rope and hung around their necks.

"Father." Brother Dan shook his cotton gloves to show Yan Xun.

"It's beautiful." Yan Xun stretched out his hand to pinch the small glove and said, "Brother Xu's hands are very skillful."

As long as they are individuals in the military households in the border towns, they all wear cotton clothes, and some old people even wear thick cotton clothes all over their bodies. Sitting down in the leeward place, he looked cheerfully at the Dao soldiers who were working not far away.

"I heard that General Yang had a quarrel with Master Yan and took a lot of cotton clothes from the workshop. We will have cotton clothes to wear later." The brown pig took a shovel and shoveled up the gravel, sweating profusely. Sweat on the face, "I didn't expect to wear cotton clothes this year. I heard that cotton clothes are very warm. I can't go to the school grounds to work hard or work, otherwise it will be hot."

"Brown pig, don't you know? There is a lucky guy who already has a cotton coat, the one who got married this year."

"Brother Zhuang and his father, right?" The brown pig spat on his hand, continued to shovel gravel, and then shouted at the Taoist soldiers who were working silently on the other side, "Why didn't you wear the cotton coat?"

The soldier showed a simple and honest smile and said: "It's hot, I put it at home, and I will wear it when I rest. My cotton coat is sewn by Brother Xu, and it is thicker than the cotton coat that General Yang took from the workshop."

"Show off, we all have cotton coats!" the brown pig roared.

When there was no grass growing in the fields in the border towns, the best clothes worn by Taoist soldiers were animal skins, and they would never see the cotton that was produced in a small amount, which was only used by dignitaries in the capital.

Nowadays, the cotton fields in the border town are full of patches, even in winter, they are still green and lush.

The cotton in the workshop piled up into mountains, and the woven cotton cloth was transported onto the train one by one, and sold for large sums of money in exchange for bags of grain.

The military households in the border towns don’t need to buy cotton, they will send a lot of it to the workshop, and the price of cotton cloth is so low that every household can afford cotton cloth, so that no one notices that the days in winter are not so difficult anymore. When the ground is freezing, there is no need to hide at home, but to come out generously. Anyway, wearing a cotton coat will not be very cold.

"Everyone work harder, clear this area in the morning, and dig the foundation in the afternoon." The brown pig wiped the sweat off his face and roared.

"Hey." Ruan Duanxi threw the stone aside and sat down on the ground.

The fur-stitched clothes on his body have long been filthy, soaked in cold sweat and dried by the cold wind, hard, and exuding an unpleasant smell, but he has no other clothes except this fur clothes To keep out the cold, you can only continue to wear it.

It's just that his heart is getting more and more unbalanced.

These men who work with him, because they are from Daying, a border town, not only get a canned braised pork subsidy every day, but also have cotton clothes to wear. These Dao soldiers actually have other subsidies, and they hardly need to spend a lot of money to see a doctor.

This kind of life is better than him, Ruan Duanxi feels dissatisfied.

I think he is also rich and prosperous, with silk and satin, countless servants in his family, and it is not uncommon for him to see famous doctors in the capital, even the imperial doctors in the palace, but when he came to the border town, his life was not as good as ordinary Another vulgar Taoist soldier.

He has always been a master, how can he fall like this!

"My lord, let me take a rest." Ruan Duanxi panted heavily, looking at the brown pig pitifully.

In just a few days, most of the fat on Ruan Duanxi's body has disappeared, his cheeks are sunken, his eyes are dull, his hands are cut many times by stones, bleeding, pus, and frostbite, he looks very pitiful.

The brown pig looked him up and down, nodded and said: "There is a place to leeward, and there is hay, you can go there to rest."

"Thank you." Ruan Duanxi said gratefully.

TRAIN STATION.

Yan Xun opened the door again and came in, looking at Qi Daxi who was standing still facing the window.

"Your Excellency." Yan Xun came in carrying a pot of hot tea.

It's just pure tea, without adding dried flowers and sugar, the taste is slightly bitter, but it will last for a long time.

"Have you considered it?" Yan Xun poured a cup of tea and put it in Qi Daxi's hand.

Qi Daxi turned around, stared at Yan Xun carefully, then glanced at Feng Ye in his glasses, and said with a half-smile: "Even if Lord Yan can control me now, so what? The Yao Kingdom is still extremely powerful, and Daqin can control me now." how?"

"I can't do anything." Yan Xun said honestly.

"Master Yan, you know the demon country..." Qi Daxi paused, glanced at Jing Fengye, and suddenly changed the subject, "The land of the demon country is impossible."

"Everything is negotiable, Your Excellency, don't be so decisive." Yan Xun said with a smile, "Try this tea. It is brought from the capital, and there are only a few taels a year, I am not willing to drink it myself.

Compared with scented tea with the fragrance of flowers and delicious meals with complete color and fragrance, this tea is extremely bland and has an unacceptable bitter taste. When I tasted it for the first time, the bitterness could almost paralyze the tongue.

Qi Daxi took a sip of tea, looked at Yan Xun, "This tea is bitter, I don't like it."

"I don't know how many people in Beijing are begging for this tea." Yan Xun laughed, "But even if you give me a thousand pieces of gold, I won't sell it. Your Excellency, you might as well think about it again. This way doesn't work, let's change it. That is, I will not detain you all in the border town, and you will be sent back sooner or later, you can rest assured about this."

The ability of the big demon was beyond Yan Xun's expectation, and it was within reason.

The war rabbit cub is the big monster in the future. Even if he is just a cub, he can survive in that harsh environment, not to mention these big monsters that have grown up. They are hard to kill and can only be killed. control.

Yan Xun showed his hole card and said it bluntly.

Qi Daxi felt that Yan Xun had become confusing again, and now he could hardly hear the movement of other big monsters, and he couldn't even believe Yan Xun's words. It was a request he had never thought of, but he did not dare to face Yan Xun like this.

This obviously weak Master Yan is actually more cunning and dangerous than anyone else.

Even if he is a big monster, he can only avoid his edge.
