Cub Nursery

Mrs. Zhang came less and less often, and the bread she sent was also less and less.

Even if the cubs are reluctant to eat, they will only take such a small bite when they are really hungry, and the moldy bread in their hands is still getting less and less.

Finally, Mrs. Zhang stopped coming completely.

No matter how little the cubs ate the bread in their hands, they were finally finished.

So all night long, in the dilapidated house, in the dirt pit dug out by the cubs, there was always the sound of stomach gurgling.The cub, which was not bad at first, gradually lost weight, and slowly became terrifying.

Jing Fengye bit his wrist and gave the cubs a drink of his own blood.

His blood was fragrant, and as long as he took a sip, the cub's condition would be much better.

When Jing Fengye bit his wrist again and moved closer, the snake-body cub shook his head slightly, "Don't do this, I can't eat your flesh and blood to survive, this won't work."

The other cubs also nodded.

Bright Cub's head was full of triggers, and he carefully put away his silver hair, and changed the subject with a smile: "I heard from people outside that Mrs. Zhang married her son a very good wife. Listen It is said that the betrothal gifts are full of three streets, and all of them are good things, and many people are envious."

"I heard that on the day of the marriage, Mrs. Zhang's house set up a floating mat. No matter who it is, anyone can eat it. Even a beggar who can't afford gift money can get a big soft steamed bun."

As he said that, the Guangming cub swallowed, and whispered, "Why don't I sneak out and beg for some food like a beggar?"

"There are a lot of powerful Taoist soldiers guarding outside, they won't let us go out." The snake-body cub shook his head lightly.

In fact, because the appearance of the snake cub is so different from that of ordinary people, as long as he goes out of the house, the Taoist soldiers guarding outside will stare at him, for fear that he will scare anyone.

In the past, when Mrs. Zhang came to deliver noodles, the Taoist soldiers guarding outside would even pay special attention to the snake-bodied cub so as not to let him show up.

The tail of the snake-bodied cub is curled. He knows that he looks very different and will scare people, so he hardly comes out of the house.

The bright cub lightly touched the snake cub's face, and said in a low voice, "Apart from my silver hair, my ears are different from theirs. I just need to shave off my hair, and then hurt my ear, it will be bloody." Yes, it looks like an ordinary child."

"They won't let us go out, but we must eat, or we'll starve to death."

As the Bright Cub said, he begged Claw Cub to help him shave off all his silver hair.

Cub Claw hesitated, but moved anyway.

Just like what the bright cub said, can these little cubs survive by eating Jing Fengye's flesh and blood?

If you want to live, you have to eat something, even if you give a bite of bread a day, at least you can have a thought, and you won't starve to death.

"Sometimes I feel that I am not myself anymore. I just think that no matter what, I can just get something to eat, and I want to rush out regardless." The bright cub gritted his teeth and tore his ears as he spoke, "I'm very afraid of changing. Become like that, become a monster who only thinks about eating and forgets everything."

The ear was torn, and the bright cub turned around in front of the cubs, "Look, am I exactly like them?"

"En." The snake-body cub nodded, and then hurriedly turned away from looking at the bright cub, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

The bright cub said happily: "Then I will find a chance to sneak out."

The Taoist soldiers guarding Honglu Temple do boring jobs every day.

Cao Xianfeng didn't want to take the Taoist soldiers under his command to guard here, so he went to find Yang Shuning, but Yang Shuning hid, and he was so angry that he burst into flames.

"Boss, Mrs. Zhang's son has married a wife, and the dowries are all over three streets. Where do you think all the money came from?" the subordinate asked.

"Where did it come from!" Cao Xianfeng said angrily, "It didn't come from there."

He ordered Honglu Temple.

The subordinates stopped talking.

Cao Xianfeng still felt unhappy, "Do you want to watch them starve to death or kill each other?"

"Boss, our task is to guard the Honglu Temple. You don't want to deliver food to it. I don't know how many people are staring at us." You have to give some trouble to the monster cubs inside, they don’t care if they are dead or not, but if anyone sympathizes with them and secretly helps them, then the higher ups will go crazy.”

So Mrs. Zhang, who was greedy for the bottom layer of money, married her son a daughter-in-law. Instead of making the higher-ups angry, she got a lot of rewards.

"Although we were ordered to watch Honglu Temple, there are many more people watching us." The subordinate said.

Cao Xianfeng felt the teeth hurt.

If the husband is still alive, he can either go to the border town to kill monsters, and make a name for himself with a knife. Now it's nothing to squat here and stay up and down.

Anyway, after observing for so long, the cubs inside are different from the monsters who attacked the city. Although he can't be sure that they are all good, anyway, Cao Xianfeng thinks they are not bad at all.

But no one believed what he said.

And even though Cao Xianfeng was a small captain, in the eyes of the big men in the capital, he was a Taoist soldier the size of a sesame seed. They could crush his entire clan with a single finger, so he must not act rashly.

It's just like this all the time, Cao Xianfeng didn't stare at the inside of Honglu Temple much, although he was still guarding outside day and night, he relaxed a lot.

On this day, a few sons and sons from noble families heard about the existence of Honglu Temple, and also heard that the monster cubs inside were all as weak as chicken cubs, and they were not scary at all, so they all drank Ordered some wine and came drunk.

Dressed in silk and satin, all the skinny young masters who looked like chickens insisted on making a fuss to enter Honglu Temple.

But Cao Xianfeng was taken aback, of course he couldn't let anyone in.

"You, you, who are you? You look down on me, don't you?" The young master looked down on Cao Xianfeng and pointed at him.

The others were even more messy, and walked towards the gate drunkenly.

Cao Xianfeng blushed angrily, and his neck was thick, but he couldn't do it directly. He was afraid of hurting these noble sons and brothers, so he could only pester them.

For some reason, the gate of Honglu Temple opened a crack abruptly, and a young man almost got in. Cao Xianfeng was startled, and hurried forward to close the gate.

Waiting to send the group of young masters away, Cao Xianfeng ran back and silently counted the cubs inside. Seeing the unique silver hair of the bright cubs, he thought he was there, but he didn't know that the bright cubs had already taken the opportunity to sneak out.

The bright cub ran all the way, his eyes widened.

He finally saw the bustling capital city and saw the voices he heard in Honglu Temple.

The young woman was doing needlework while guarding a few hens in the yard. The children, who were about the same age as the bright cubs, were running around in the yard with a smile on their faces and kept calling mother, Mother.

There are peddlers who walk around the streets, carrying many strange gadgets, each of which is new to the bright cubs.

There was an old mother-in-law who stood in the alley and cursed at her daughter-in-law. She disliked that the daughter-in-law could not bear a son, and wanted to let her son divorce his wife. The neighbors around him followed suit. They dislike their daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law died of shame and anger at home, and almost hanged herself, but was rescued by her son.

The son quarreled with his mother-in-law.

Inside and out, it was really lively.

The bright cub rubbed his face, ran forward and found a family.

He still remembered what he heard in Honglu Temple. Several little beggars said that this family was kind-hearted, and they could get food every time they came. The little beggars also said that if they came back for the first time, they would come this home.

But the little beggar also said that if you are familiar with this place, you should come to this place less, because it is not easy to get food from anyone, so you can't always come to this place.

The bright cub thought, this is the first time for him, so he came to this house to ask for it once, and he won't come later.

He raised his paw and knocked on the door, waiting anxiously.

The little beggars said that as long as they knock on the door and wait, the people inside will see that the people outside are beggars, and food will be delivered in a short while, whether it is a bowl of porridge or a steamed bun, it will be eaten anyway.

The door finally swung open.

"Let me help you see who is outside. I heard that there are always beggars knocking on the door. You are too kind. Those beggars don't need to show good looks, they will know how to slap their noses. If they come again, just beat them out." Mrs. Zhang San opened the door, saw that it was a beggar, and immediately pulled her face down, "If you don't want to give up, I will beat you for you."

Mrs. Zhang raised her foot to kick Guangming's cub, and jumped out after her, shouting while kicking Guangming's cub, "Son, son, come out soon, your old lady will be beaten to death."

Mrs. Zhang's eldest son just got married not long ago, and the house is nearby.

The eldest son's marriage depends entirely on the money given by Mrs. Zhang, so it's okay to hear my old lady shouting.

The five big and three thick strong men came out carrying a wooden stick. Seeing Mrs. Zhang kicking Guangming's cub, he stepped forward to beat him without saying a word.The eldest daughter-in-law also ran out from behind and beat her too.

These two are so shrewd, they know that Mrs. Zhang still has a lot of money on hand, so they have to be coaxed. Mrs. Zhang dare not say what she says, so that she can't go east if she wants to go west.

Seeing the third wife Zhang beating the bright cubs, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law don't care so much, just follow the third wife Zhang to do it together.

They struck fast and ruthlessly. The Guangming cub didn't have much strength. He was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to fight back. The cubs were still guarded by Taoist soldiers, so he didn't use his demon power.

It hit my body one after another, and it was very painful.

I don't know how long it took, and the bloody-looking Guangming cub suddenly heard the door of that house open again, and the people inside said something, so Mrs. Zhang took the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law away. up.

After an unknown amount of time, Cub Guangming saw a white-faced steamed bun placed on a leaf in front of him. It was as big as his two fists, very big, and there was a handful of herbs.

Not knowing what the herbal medicine was for, the Guangming cub picked it up and put it in his arms, then carefully held the white flour steamed bun, and hid near Honglu Temple, looking for a chance to go back.

It was also the bright cub who was lucky, and he had a young master to pester him, so he seized the opportunity and slipped in.

"Look, I really begged for food." The bright cub said happily.

Before he left, the snake cub in the house was in the worst condition. He only drank a little water every day, and he was already thin and out of shape.

The bright cub looked left and right, looking for the snake-bodied cub, "Look at the big and round steamed buns, everyone can eat them."

"Why are you doing this?" The snake body cub struggled to get up, raised his head against the wall, and looked straight at the bright cub, startled.

Jing Fengye wanted to bite his wrist again.

Bright Cub hurriedly said: "No. My injury is not a big deal, it will be fine in a few days. After all, we are all monsters, we are different from ordinary people, and we can survive better. It's okay, it's okay, let's get the steamed buns Divide one point, and I will go out when I find a chance later."

The steamed buns, the size of two fists, were a little dry and cracked, but the unique fragrance of the grain did not change at all.

The bright cub made the decision and gave a big piece to the snake body cub, and divided the rest of the cubs evenly, and finally gave the herbal medicine to Jing Fengye.

At night, the cubs lie in their dens and sleep.

With such a small mouthful of steamed buns in my stomach, I feel different immediately. Although I am still very hungry, I can feel that I can live.

The cub with the snake body ate the most steamed buns. He twisted his body, worried about the cub Guangming, so he couldn't fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, the cub with a snake body exhausted all the strength he had accumulated, stretched out the tip of his tail and touched the forehead of the bright cub.

Very hot very hot.

The Bright Cub did not lie curled up in the den like before. He no longer had the strength to curl up, and his body was very hot. The wound on his body showed no sign of healing. smelly.

The snake-bodied cub suddenly remembered that he had overheard that there was a child outside who was also feverish, so he ran to see a doctor, but he still couldn't save it, and the child passed away that night.

Children are human beings who developed a fever and then passed away.

Even monsters are actually mortal, not to mention they are just monster cubs, their own monster power is very weak, not much stronger than ordinary people.

The snake-body cub used up all his demon power to pour a lot of water on the bright cub, thinking that the bright cub was in a bad state, so he took the risk and went out to beg for food. The snake-body cub's eyes slowly turned red.

If it wasn't for his poor condition, the bright cub wouldn't go out to beg for food, and wouldn't have a fever.

There would be no possibility of death.

The snake cub curled up with the tip of its tail and pursed its mouth.

He was sadder than ever, never felt that he was so incompetent, so slow.

He opened his mouth and let out a silent cry.

The snake-bodied cub slowly crawled out of his nest, and slowly crawled to the door. He looked back at the sleeping cubs, and crawled out without looking back.

Honglu Temple seems to be heavily guarded, and the walls have been rebuilt. It seems that it is impossible to go out at will, but the snake body cub has not given up. He is different from other cubs. He only has the head like an ordinary person, and his body is long. One by one, many holes that children can't get in, he can squeeze in with pain.

Dig out the soil and rocks, and you can continue to squeeze forward.

The gap can always be found, and it can always be squeezed out slowly.

The snake body cub didn't know how long it took him to squeeze out. When he got outside, he felt that he couldn't recognize himself, his head was flattened, and his body was messed up. Also bloody.

He collected himself and slowly crawled forward.

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to provoke him. He couldn't beg for food with his appearance. He had to scare people. But there were a lot of weeds outside. I heard that some livestock would eat them. The snake-bodied cub thought he could eat them too, so he Eat slowly.

The taste of the grass was not good at all, and it was particularly difficult to swallow. The cub with the snake body resisted swallowing it.

He wanted to fill his stomach by himself, and then he would have strength, and then try to go to some rich people's house and steal some food, and he would not steal in vain, just drive away all the mice and so on in the house.

He had heard that big families have granaries, which attract rats every year, and they lose a lot of grain just because of the rats.

The snake cub thinks he can chase away mice, but only if he has the strength to move.

Grass is not tasty, but you have to eat it to fill your stomach.

There are also some moldy tree roots, colorful-looking mushrooms, broken wood, strange medicine dregs thrown by someone, no matter whether they are good or bad, moldy and smelly, snake-bodied cubs are here Do not refuse, swallow bit by bit.

He had been hungry for too long, and he felt that his body was like a bottomless pit, and he felt that the whole world could be swallowed in his stomach.

I don't know if it's because he ate too much. The snake body cub felt a pain in his stomach, but when he thought of the bloody look of the bright cub, he felt that he could bear it.

The long body twisted and curled up in pain, but the cub with the snake body was extremely sober. He still fantasized that he didn't provoke anyone, and he didn't do anything wrong. He ran out, but in order to survive, he had to do so.

If something happened in the future, the snake cub would be willing to accept the punishment. He knew that he had done something wrong, even if it was to survive, it was wrong.

When the stomach pain is not so bad, the snake body cub will continue to eat.

There is a family who always throws medicine dregs, the taste is very bitter, and it feels very uncomfortable to eat, but the snake body cub really has a severe stomachache, and has no energy to go to other places to graze, so it can only continue to swallow the medicine dregs .

He thought, it doesn't matter if his stomach hurts a little, at least he is still alive.

I don't know how long it took, but the snake-body cub felt that he was a little full. He flicked the tip of his tail, feeling that he had gained some strength, so he cheered up and crawled forward slowly, preparing to find a big family. People help with work.

There are so many big families in the capital, and basically every household has a granary. Anyway, there are a lot of grains, and they are all very fresh grains. The smell is completely different from moldy grains.

The snake body cub swallowed in disbelief when he smelled the scent. He wanted to eat it very much, but held back.

Where there is a lot of food, there are indeed many mice.

The cub with the snake body hides aside, and when the mouse passes by, it quickly grabs the mouse, wraps the mouse around the tip of its tail flexibly, strangles the mouse, and throws it aside.

He kept catching mice, kept catching mice, until the snake cub was sure that all the mice in this family were gone, and then he went to roll a white flour steamed bun in the big kitchen of this family, and left slowly.
