Cub Nursery

The black bear is not idle outside.

Although among these people outside, those with cultivation bases and some abilities are General Dog, but Black Bear did not take it lightly. He did not let his men disperse, but chose a place in the huge camp where he could attack, retreat and defend. Set up camp.

The egg giant is in the largest tent, and the black bear personally protects it.

The soldiers boiled hot water and brought it in, and the black bear took the handkerchief and wrung it dry, and went to the back to help the egg giant wipe the eggshell.

This egg, which is almost as big as a black bear, has not been a secret since a long time ago, especially the black bear is Yang Shuning's confidant, and has a close relationship with the cubs, so he knew the existence of the egg giant very early .

At this time, Yan Xun and the cubs are not here, only such a group of Taoist soldiers are left, and the black bear dare not be careless at all.

Yan Xun left Dan Juju to him because of trust, if any accident happened to Dan Juju in his hands, he couldn't bear it.

"General, someone wants to see you." The Taoist shouted outside.

Hei Xiong wiped the eggshells for Egg Juju, came out with a handkerchief, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let him in."

After a while, General Dog came in rather tremblingly.

I think back then he was a mighty dog ​​general, and he had a lot of dogs under his command, plus he was a man of cultivation, although he was not a Taoist soldier, he always regarded himself as a Taoist soldier, and even promoted himself to the position of a general , that is really majestic.

General Dog thought that he used to be majestic enough, but now he saw that this not-so-big camp was guarded by Taoist soldiers, and these Taoist soldiers seemed ordinary, but he could feel that their cultivation base was higher than that of the Taoist soldiers. I am tall.

After entering the tent and facing the black bear again, the arrogance in General Dog's heart was completely gone, and he honestly bowed his hands.

"Tell me what the county is like." Hei Xiong asked.

General Dog thought that Hei Xiong wanted to ask someone outside, but he was taken aback for a moment, and didn't dare to ask why, so he said honestly: "I don't know what the county is like now, but I know something about it before."

The son of the dog here has come back after inquiring about the news.

Yan Xun asked: "Do you know how the county town used to be?"

"I know a little bit." Gou Zi hurriedly said, "My father often comes to the county town to deliver money and food, and every time it is delivered to Mr. Zhang's house. When he returns, he will go to the restaurant in the county town to eat wine, and leave before the city gate closes at night."

Yan Xun asked again in detail, and now I know.

It is not appropriate to say that the county town was poor in the past.There are a lot of poor people, and they are very poor. Even the people in the county towns barely have enough clothes or food to eat. That is to say, they have clothes to wear and some food to eat, but they want to be full and warm. That is absolutely impossible.

No matter how poor Qiyuan County is, it is not to the extent that [-]% of the county, or even [-]% of the people live in such a miserable state.

As for the Mr. Zhang who was delivered by General Dog, the son of the dog has never seen it. He only heard General Dog say, "There are a lot of servants in the house, all dressed in silk and satin. I heard that the shops in the entire street of the county It belongs to the Zhang family, and the people in the village below who must honor Master Zhang are not the only one, General Dog."

Money and food are nothing in Master Zhang's eyes.

When the sand fox and red fox came back, they talked about the Zhang family they saw on the side of the road.

"I heard that it is a concubine of Mr. Zhang, and I don't know what to do. I counted the maids, servants, and others who followed one by one. There are about forty of them. The soft sedan chair is golden. It looks very bright."

"Some people say that Master Zhang's concubine has a very bad temper. If anyone accidentally bumps into her, she will be beaten to death by her own hands."

"I heard there are rumors in the county that if a person like this comes out in the future, the people on the side of the road will kneel down, so that it is not considered an offense to a nobleman."

Compared with the red fox, the sand fox inquired a little more, and his face was even uglier.

It was the first time the child came back to the county town, and it was the first time he only went to the county town. The days were actually more difficult than those in Shangyuan Village.

"There was a family with three children, all skinny and skinny. The older one was about to starve to death. The father and mother went out to kowtow to the nobleman. They wanted to beg for a stutter, but they were taken away without disturbing the nobleman. They said that if the nobles knew about it, they would be beaten to death."

"The courtyard wall of the Zhang family's house is very high, and the man who guards the gate is tall and burly, and I look like he has a lot of cultivation. I heard that Master Zhang doesn't show his face, but many people have heard that the house is full of singing and dancing almost every night. "

"Although the shops on the street outside are open every day, ordinary people don't go there at all. They don't have money in their hands. They are the family members of the adults who will patronize."

"In the past, there were fairs organized by the people in the county town, and people from the villages outside the city would occasionally come in."

Now that the people outside have risen up and besieged the county, of course they won't come in, and the people in the county know that they are besieged, so they don't have the heart to set up a market.

"Every household has no surplus food, and there are old people and children who have starved to death."

The red fox lowered its head and rubbed its eyes vigorously.

In the past, he only thought that the county seat was so good. Otherwise, why did General Dog come to the county seat so often? Otherwise, how could General Dog have so many scoundrels?

But now seeing the appearance of the county with his own eyes, Chihu is very sad.

If there is no food in Shangyuan Village, at least they can dig some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, which can always make their stomachs swell temporarily, but what is there in the county?The only grass and trees have been stripped clean and bare for a long time.

"Master Zhang's concubine has forty servants, all fat and strong."

"I donate food every year, and as long as I donate a small half, the people will not go hungry."

Just like in Shangyuan Village, the food in General Dog's and his dog's houses was found out, and everyone in the village shared a share. If there were no more troubles, life would go on.

"The wine and meat stinks in Zhumen, and the bones are frozen to death." Brother Dan's face sank like water, "I also heard a lot of movement. The life of the people in Qiyuan County is much worse than that of the border towns. The life of the military households in the border towns was not good. But at any rate, as long as you have a lot of strength and are willing to work hard, you can always eat one or two bites of food, and you won't starve to death."

The border town camp will not watch the soldiers starve to death, and the food is not all squeezed out by the Taoist soldiers of the border town camp.

Qiyuan County is different again.

The claw cub clenched its fists and looked at Yan Xun with piercing eyes, "My lord, when will we open the warehouse to release the food?"

Watching the children and the elderly starve to death, watching the people look yellow and emaciated, wondering how many days they can live, this is not what Cub Claw wants.

The Thunder cub next to him also clenched his fist, and there was a faint flash of lightning.

The sand fox and red fox also have bright eyes and clenched fists. They also want to contribute their own strength.

But Gouzi thought more, he tentatively said: "We have to think of a proper way. At the beginning, Uncle Gouwa in Shangyuan Village teamed up with other families who were bullied, and he succeeded in getting all the food from General Gou's family. But they... are actually not much better than General Dog."

Once in power, it will be rampant.

"It's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys, and it doesn't depend on strength." Yan Xun said, "Just think about it, don't the people in the city hate those people? They want to eat their flesh and drink their blood raw. If they have a chance, they will inevitably resist."

"At that time, the food will indeed be distributed, but can they keep their hearts and live the lives of ordinary people?"

Cub Claw's small fist was loosened, and he shook his head and said, "I can't tell."

He remembered that when Yan Xun advocated the construction of the bridge and was finally preparing to go to the other side of the river, some people appeared at that time. They even used small stones as bait, and even threw small stones into the river. If everyone had not prepared , the little stone is dead.

And those who do evil really deserve death: the reason they live so well, are so strong and ruddy, is because they cannibalize people.

There are too few things on the other side of the river, and it is not suitable for growing crops. Food is really limited, and there is almost no game, but there are many, many people, many, many people.

The little cub was lost in thought, how did Yan Xun deal with it at that time?

At that time, Yan Xun did not let Xiao Shitou and others rise up to resist, but dealt with those man-eating beasts by himself, and called Sun Yuanbao from Sunjia Village, and asked him to bring the strong men from the village to come with Xiao Shitou and others Spread them out and let them work for food.

Those people like Xiaoshitou had never had blood on their hands, and Yan Xun avenged their revenge.

"It doesn't matter if it's an executioner, or if you have to do it because of a deep hatred, as long as your hands are covered with blood, it will be different after all." Brother Dan said old-fashionedly, "My brother also said that when he investigates the case, it is easy to see Who has blood on their hands, and who has unclean hands. Many old police officers in Dali Temple have such skills, but very few people know that this is also their hidden killer."

Dali Temple has a lot of investigations and sees a lot of people, so it naturally has its own way of distinguishing.

As a disciple of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Bao Bao made great contributions to Dali Temple, so naturally he did not keep this secret from him.

"Everyone has a demon in his heart. When he can't control the demon and release the demon, he will become a person he doesn't know." Yan Xun looked at the dog son, then at the sand fox and the red fox, He earnestly taught, "So even if they are pitiful, even if some people are hateful, we still can't act lightly."

"Evil always needs someone to bear it, and we are the ones who bear it."

"Have you all figured it out?"

Cub Claw and Cub Thunder nodded heavily, and Brother Dan couldn't wait to jump up and nod.

Gouzi also understood in a trance, he didn't know what happened to Xiaoshitou and those people back then, but isn't it those people who are besieging the county now?The people on the side of the heinous General Dog who I once thought, and the poor people who I once thought were weak and needed protection.

But since the rebellion, the blood on the hands of those once emaciated people has not been lacking at all, and some of them are even beyond imagination.

"At the beginning, the dog general was sorry for you, and he almost drove you to a dead end. Later, I helped you restrain the dog general, what did you two think at that time?" Seeing that the sand fox and the red fox did not speak, Yan Xun stepped forward He touched their heads, "Think about it carefully."

"At that time, I just thought that the young master is really a god and man, and the general dog is nothing." Shahu said honestly, "At the beginning, I thought about killing the general dog, but after I became more knowledgeable with the young master, I didn't have that kind of thing." Got an idea."

Chihu clenched his fists, "I only thought about having a chance to beat up General Dog, but now I don't have that kind of thought. Instead of sticking to General Dog alone, it's better to do something useful."

The two children were still a little ignorant, but they also slowly changed. Their hearts were no longer occupied by hatred, but had higher ideals.

Yan Xun felt very relieved, "You two have very good ideas."

But the son of the dog understood that if the sand fox and the red fox were not lucky enough to meet Yan Xun, then they would either be bullied by General Dog, and they might lose their lives, or they would fight back smoothly and kill General Dog in turn. .

Children who have successfully killed people are different. They don't know much about the truth, and they haven't read books. They are afraid that they will go the other side of the extremely evil road like Uncle Gouwa and others.

"Don't think that if you can't take revenge, you will suffer a loss. Those who do evil will be punished by the law after all. Isn't that the executioner who is kept by the court for this purpose?" Yan Xun said calmly, "So you stay here for now. Let's go to Master Zhang's house to have a look, we have to figure out the money and food, as for the next step, let's discuss it when we come back, how about it?"

The son of the dog, the sand fox and the red fox stayed behind, waiting for Yan Xun to come back to discuss.

This feeling of being valued made the three of them hold their heads high, bow their hands solemnly, and watched Yan Xun leave.

Once outside, Yan Xun said: "You two go to Mr. Zhang's house to check the situation, and if everything goes well, go to other people's houses to see. Brother Dan, come with me... let's go to the county government!"

He hadn't heard any news about Jia Qiugu, Yan Xun was worried that something might happen there, so he had to go and have a look to make sure before he could rest assured.

Cub Claw and Cub Lightning nodded at Yan Xun and left quickly.

Brother Dan ran over and looked up at Yan Xun, "Father, do you want to see Master Jia?"

"Go and see the situation first, I don't know if Jia Qiugu has come to Qiyuan County." Yan Xun explained in a low voice, "Looking at the turmoil in the county, if Jia Qiugu really came to Qiyuan County, I'm afraid It's at the county government office."

"En." Brother Dan nodded emphatically, and rushed to the front, "I'll go find the way first!"

When Yan Xun and Jing Fengye approached the county government office, Brother Dan had already looked inside and out, and stood outside waiting early.

The little brother Dan held up the leaf stalk as a disguise, and when he saw Yan Xun coming, he waved at him.

"How is it?" Yan Xun hurriedly asked.

"Master Jia is indeed in the county government office, but it's almost like being in prison. They are all under guard." Brother Dan said in a low voice, "I heard in a daze that Mr. Jia committed some kind of murder, and the news is still uncertain...but The county government is indeed heavily guarded, and almost everyone has cultivation..."

With the ability of Qiyuan County, it is comparable to an iron wall to send so many people to guard the county government.

Yan Xun pondered.

In this case, with Brother Dan's size, he can come and go freely, and it is very easy, but it is a bit difficult for someone like Yan Xun to get in. Jing Fengye is not small, anyway, it is not as easy as Brother Dan.

"Brother Dan, go in and find a chance to meet Jia Qiugu and see what he knows." Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "I'll wait outside."

"Okay." Brother Dan nodded.

Holding up the petiole, Brother Dan hid below, and entered the county again after a few ups and downs like falling leaves, and ran along the path that no one had thought of, and soon approached Jia Qiugu's yard.

There are many cultivated men guarding outside, and Jia Qiugu's people are inside.

It seemed that Jia Qiugu was not under siege, but in fact they had absolutely no chance to leave this small courtyard, and many of them were sallow and emaciated, obviously not eating well.

There was a heavy coughing sound in the room, and Brother Dan ran over immediately.

"It's so deceptive that even a doctor can't see it!" Sister Qi helped Jia Qiugu up and fed him warm water, saying, "If it doesn't work, let's kill him."

Suppressing his cough and drinking a few sips of warm water, Jia Qiugu gasped and said, "No way. They are just waiting to catch us. They are not afraid of wearing shoes when they are barefoot, but we are different."

"You're just too rigid." Sister Qi was still unhappy, she thought for a while, "Why don't I go out by myself, find almost leaving Qiyuan County, and go to the border town to find Lord Yan? He can't just ignore us like this."
