Cub Nursery

Everyone around looked at Dan Honghong with sympathy.

When Dan Honghong finally understood, he immediately exploded, and hurriedly explained loudly: "My father is fine, how did he treat me? Isn't it that I'm here to receive an errand?"

"It's grounded again, and I'm receiving an errand by myself. It's really pitiful."

"Yeah, it's only that big, as big as a chick just out of its shell."

"Master Yan is busy with affairs after all, so he can't take care of Egg Honghong."

"Pitiful."

"very pitiful."

"Dan Honghong, you have to listen to Master Yan and don't cause trouble."

They don't know the existence of Shimen, but they all know that Dan Honghong caused trouble, and they also know that half the county was shaken a while ago, as if the earth dragon turned over, many people were shocked. Red related.

Dan Honghong was a little embarrassed. At that time, he really didn't expect the shoulder cannon he got from his brothers to be so powerful, so he just wanted to blast the Shimen open.

"But I'm not the only one to receive the errand. My brothers have all come to receive the errand." Dan Honghong didn't understand this point. Isn't it very common to come to receive the errand by herself.

But in the eyes of others, it is completely different.

"They are all your brothers, as they should be."

"You are the younger brother, you are the youngest, you should take care of you more."

"Yes, you are the youngest cub, and you should be favored in the first place."

This was the first time Dan Honghong had heard of such a statement, so he asked the man who said it the most cheerfully, "Since the youngest in the family is favored, then when I have a younger brother, my elder brother is suddenly not favored, what will I think? Will my brother feel that my younger brother has taken away my love and resent my parents?"

The man was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't thought of this.

Someone else said: "There are many children in a family, and it must be the youngest who is favored in the end. This is normal."

"It's because you are all thinking wrong." Dan Honghong shook her head lightly, "It's just that she is young, so it's fine to take care of her more, and partiality is the most inappropriate. Our nursery school has never been like this, father has never Who will be partial, and my father will not favor anyone."

Jing Fengye always treats the cubs equally, but Yan Xun sometimes takes extra care of the cubs because of their condition.

This is a bit strange to other people, and it is not easy to understand.

But Dan Honghong has talked about this point, and there are still people who sympathize and pity Dan Honghong.There is no way, the story of Dan Honghong being grounded is too far spread, many people believe in their own guesses, even if they see Dan Honghong running out and deny it, they still don't believe it On the contrary, everyone felt that Dan Honghong was forcing a smile, pretending that she was not rejected by Yan Xun.

After finally waiting for the opportunity to enter the Yamen, Dan Honghong almost ran in quickly.

He was really scared, it wasn't that he couldn't communicate with the people outside, but he just couldn't explain to them, Dan Honghong felt that the rumors outside were much more serious than his grounding.

In the yamen, Jia Qiugu didn't have a good rest for several days, his eyes were red from boiling, and when Dan Honghong entered, Sister Qi was bringing tea to Jia Qiugu.

"Lord Jia." Dan Honghong cupped her hands, "I'm here to accept the errand."

"Danhonghong." Jia Qiugu took a sip of hot tea, thought for a while and said, "Now we need to build a road from Shangyuan Village to the outside of the county in sections. The official road outside is connected, and there will be specially designed rest stops on the road. Now this section of the road is being repaired in sections, you will be responsible for the section of the road at the edge of Qiyuan County, can it be done?"

The section of road on the edge of Qiyuan County is the most important, and a large-scale rest station needs to be arranged, and because it is directly connected with the outside, it can only use its own people.

Dan Honghong did her part, and immediately accepted the errand.

Yan Xun was able to breathe a sigh of relief after dismissing Egg Honghong, and letting the little prince and Zhantu cubs guard the fifth prince, and the rest of the cubs also received errands.

The right to dispatch personnel is all in the hands of Jia Qiugu, but when technical personnel encounter problems, they can no longer go to Jia Qiugu, they have to come to Yan Xun for inquiries, so there are not a few people who come to Yan Xun every day.

I haven't been able to take a good rest for several days. I am really tired.

At any rate, the cubs helped to share some of the load, Yan Xun was able to catch his breath, and just in time to watch Jing Fengye come back, he said, "Is everything arranged at Dan Honghong's place?"

"All the people who went with him were acquaintances, and Dahei also went." Jing Fengye said.

"Let's go to Xiao Huang's side and call Xiao Hua." Yan Xun rubbed the center of his brows and stood up, "Is Sister Yi still silent? Who got the message?"

"It's still changing hands." Jing Fengye said in a low voice, "every time a letter changes hands, dozens of people will appear suspiciously. If it weren't for our tricks, we would have lost it long ago. It seems that we can catch it this time. A big fish."

Yan Xun nodded.

The little prince came to accompany the cub Zhantu. He didn't pay attention to the fifth prince, but just talked with the cub Zhantu outside.

Waiting for Cub Huashu, Yan Xun, and Jing Fengye to come to study the former county magistrate, the little prince followed curiously.

"Didn't go to see the Fifth Prince?" Yan Xun said indifferently, "If you want to see it, go and see it..."

The little prince knew the attitude Yan Xun wanted to express. After all, he was the younger brother of the fifth prince, and the two had a close relationship. It stands to reason that they should avoid suspicion and not meet each other.But since Yan Xun asked him to come here, he just didn't think that the little prince must avoid suspicion, which is also the meaning of trusting him.

And since Yan Xun regards the little prince as one of his own, he will not have such precautions.

"I know." The little prince knew in his heart that he didn't need to put on an attitude of avoiding suspicion, but he really didn't want to meet the fifth prince, so he said to Yan Xun, "My lord, he is very cunning, and he hasn't shown it until now. Even if I go there, he won't necessarily tell me anything about myself, and I don't want to see him anymore."

"That's right. The fifth prince has a green face and long fangs, so he's not easy to see." Huashu Cub said, "My younger brother secretly told me that the fifth prince is very concerned about his appearance."

Cub Zhantu nodded, "That's right, I have to take care of it several times a day."

The little prince raised his eyebrows immediately, "Did Brother Dan also say that I care about my appearance?" He also takes care of his appearance several times a day, and he even carries a small mirror in his arms, which he has to take out from time to time See what's right for you.

This is when he suddenly woke up in the palace and realized that he had also turned into a blue-faced fangs with a hideous face. Later, he was taken to the border town by Yan Xun and restored to his original appearance with Dan Honghong's help. He was always worried about whether he was Suddenly he looked hideous.

Even when he temporarily demonized, Dan Honghong said she was pretty, but he still had a shadow in his heart.

"Yes. Brother Dan and Dan Honghong both said it." The flower tree cub pursed his lips and smiled.

The little prince often looks at his own face with a small mirror. Dan Honghong and Dan Honghong have both seen it, and the two youngest cubs secretly complain to his brothers. Even Yan Xun listens to Dan Honghong and Dan Honghong's parting Said.

Yan Xun couldn't help laughing, "Dan Honghong also told me that Xiao Huang looked in the mirror every day, why didn't she put on rouge, wipe her mouth and draw eyeliner. She also said that some ambiguous little guys would draw temples on their faces, It looks real. Dan Honghong, tell me Xiao Huang, you have to draw sooner or later."

"I..." The little prince blushed a little, he didn't know that the two little cubs were secretly talking about him.

But it was precisely because of his closeness that he was said about him, so Ziyan Xun, Huashu Cub, and Zhantu Cub didn't help them hide it, but it made the little prince feel warm in his heart.

There was also no one outside the house of the former magistrate of Guan, but it was different from the fifth prince's house inside.

The old man who had already died once looked at his dying eyes, and his movements became weaker and weaker, but for the sake of caution, he was still tied and did not relax.

"It's about to die." Yan Xun stepped forward to take a look, only to see the old man's lifeless body, his eyes were very cloudy, and he could no longer see clearly.

"I'll give it a try and see if I can restore him to a little bit of consciousness." The flower tree cub said, "The monster power in his body is very chaotic. If all of it is drawn out, he should be able to wake up, but his body may have to collapse completely."

"It's a dead person, let's do it." Yan Xun was very calm.

According to the clues collected by Jia Qiugu and Sister Qi, the former county magistrate had a close relationship with the so-called ancestors. The people in the city either disappeared directly or contributed their flesh and blood. The former county magistrate was definitely not innocent. It can be said that he died It can't be too many times.

It was precisely because of this that the Huashu cubs didn't even use the Guiyuan blue Ganoderma lucidum, and did it directly.

The little prince watched curiously from the side.

No one can figure out what kind of existence the so-called demon power is, because it cannot be seen or touched, but they know that this thing really exists.

The little prince changed from a human to his current appearance. He has monster power in his body, and it is very difficult to control. He must get Dan Honghong's help to let the monster power in his body go smoothly. But if other people go to the monster country to experience the monster power, they will either go crazy Either die, the body can't hold the demon power.

The little prince was puzzled, so he asked Yan Xun.

Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "Monster power and negative emotions are both invisible and intangible, and negative emotions have a pervasive impact on people. This is why people can't bear it when they go to a demon country, but monsters can live in a demon country. Very good."

"The cubs are all in Daqin, and the negative emotions they can accept are very limited, and their demon power grows very rapidly, even beyond their own imagination."

"So I guess, demon power and negative emotions should be two completely different forces that complement each other. The relationship between the two is very complicated..."

"You only have demon power in your body..."

The little prince nodded lightly. He couldn't bear the negative emotions brought about by the oppression of the demon kingdom, and he was not a monster, so he couldn't be like the cubs. Improving the demon power is as simple as eating and drinking.

The old man lying on the bed didn't see anything coming out of his body, but his face gradually became better.Finally, the flower tree cub wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's done."

The old man's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened them, his eyeballs were no longer cloudy, but with a tinge of clarity.

"Come here..." the old man said subconsciously, his voice was hoarse and he could hardly hear it.

The flower tree cub immediately leaned over, holding a very small metal cylinder in his hand, twisted the mechanism at the end, and the demon light in front immediately lit up, and the old man squinted his eyes subconsciously, and his pupils shrank sharply.

"It's done." The flower tree cub heaved a sigh of relief.

The war rabbit cub also leaned over to take a look, and nodded slightly at Yan Xun, "No attack power, just an ordinary dying old man who can't move."

"What do you want to ask?" Yan Xun asked.

The flower tree cubs, the war rabbit cubs, the little prince and Jing Fengye all shook their heads together.

They knew very little about the former county magistrate, and even the clues collected by Jia Qiugu were only on the fringes, and no one knew the real core secret.Now that the old man is awake, he can only wait for him to speak.

Even Yan Xun himself couldn't guess anything, he could only ask tentatively: "Do you know what year it is today?"

The old man's eyeballs rolled slowly. When he saw Yan Xun and the little prince, his eyes were calm. When he saw Jing Fengye clearly, his body shook uncontrollably. Then he saw someone who was obviously different from ordinary people. The war rabbit cubs and Huashu cubs began to tremble.

"You, you are the ancestors...you are..." The old man's lips trembled, and his words were vague, "Demon...demon..."

"They are all monsters." Yan Xun raised his eyebrows, "Old ancestor? Now we have beaten him back to Shimen, and there has been no movement for several days. Old man, you used to be the county magistrate, and you know a lot about the old ancestor. Can you help me?" Shall I explain one or two?"

The old man didn't seem to hear Yan Xun's words, and stared at Jing Fengye and the two cubs without blinking.

Jing Fengye's body was full of dragon scale marks, and it was obvious at a glance that he was different from ordinary people, but he was only standing behind Yan Xun, guarding Yan Xun faintly.The two smaller monsters could be seen as cubs, both fat and white, wearing very decent clothes, standing in front of Yan Xun, also secretly guarding Yan Xun.

The other child looked like a human being, but he didn't quite look like one. He stood side by side with Yan Xun, his back slightly arched, and it looked like he might strike at any time.

"Hey, they are all good." The old man said something vaguely, "You can ask what you want to know."

Your physical condition can deceive others, but not yourself.

"We want to know the origin of Shimen." Yan Xun said immediately.

The old man sighed, "Can this old man ask the origins of these monsters around you?"

"It's easy to say." It's no secret at all, Yan Xun naturally won't hide it from the old man, "He is my man, back then the Tiger Demon King sent ten cubs to Daqin as hostages, and he followed them to take care of the cubs, now Now with me, he and I have three children in total, all of which are monster cubs. This is Xiao Hua, and he is one of the cubs who came to Daqing as a hostage. This is... I can’t say for now. I am Honglusi Sir, you should know, right?"

The Honglu Temple in Daqin did not exist before, and it was a government office built only in recent years.

"I don't know." The old man looked a little sad, "I don't know that there is such a yamen as Honglu Temple."

Just looking at the attitude of the three monsters towards Yan Xun, it can be seen that they have a very good relationship with Yan Xun, and they are almost instinctively taking care of Yan Xun.

"What's going on outside?" the old man asked suddenly.

Looking at the old man's appearance, Yan Xun knew that he didn't know that Qiyuan County had changed, let alone that the capital city and the border town had changed, so he briefly said it, taking into account the status of the cubs in Daqin, and finally said Starting from the changes in Qiyuan County.

All the people who turned into monsters in the county were dealt with. A wall was built around the stone gate, guarded by the cubs themselves, and Taoist soldiers were stationed outside.

"Shimen..." The old man's eyes became far away, as if he remembered something from a long time ago, "Many years ago, when I was young, I entered that house by mistake, and I didn't know how to break into the stone gate. .”

"The stone gate stood there alone, with nothing in front and behind. The old man thought it was strange, so he picked up a stone and smashed it. The stone gate opened, and the old man didn't see anything running out, but he could hear the sound."

"It wasn't until I became a county magistrate that I realized that only those who can break in front of the stone gate and make the stone gate respond can become county magistrates."

"The Shimen old man looked at it for a lifetime and didn't see anything. It was something that came out of it. At first, he tricked the old man into saying that it was a monster. It could give the old man riches and wealth, keep the old man immortal, and let the whole Qiyuan County be in the old man's house. Everything survives under its control.”

But those words were what the old man believed when he was young. When he got older, he saw his body getting older day by day, and the people in the city became more and more numb, so he didn't take what the monster said to be true.

"It said it could keep this old man alive, and this old man believed it and did a lot of things for it." The old man was a little tired after saying these words, his chest heaved slightly, but he was panting very quickly, and he rested for a long time Only then continued, "Even if the old man doesn't do those things, he will choose others to help him."

"Actually, it would be okay if only some people were filled in. Qiyuan County is not like this. What is worse than monsters is the human heart."

From the county magistrate to the master to the chief bookkeeper, and even the catchers in the yamen, they all saw incredible benefits from the monster. They used the monster to benefit themselves, cultivated their cronies in the villages and towns below, and searched for the people's anointing, and the monster Use them to get some flesh.

It seems to be mutually beneficial, but it is also they who have dug up the foundation of Qiyuan County bit by bit, turning the county into a dead city.

Monsters are just monsters. They are the ones who turned the county town into a magic cave. What is the difference between them and monsters?

The old man said to himself in a light tone, "There are more and more people who donate their flesh and blood, and they are all poor people. On the contrary, those of us who are still alive have actually turned into terrifying monsters. It is the gold and silver piled up in the family. How can there be a group of servants..."

There are fewer and fewer sane people in the city, and more and more people who are gradually becoming stupid.

On weekdays, as long as you go to the street to look, you can only see those people who are living indifferently. Some people who are a little smarter will not show up at all, and even try to escape from the county.

But the county magistrate and others can't escape unless they die.

"The selection of the next county magistrate is about to begin, but there are no suitable young people in the city." The old man took a deep breath, his tone trembling, "There is news from the court that a county magistrate will be sent here."

"Qiyuan County must never have a foreign county magistrate..."

The old man discussed with Mr. Zhang and others for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a solution. It happened that the old man's health was about to die, so he made a deal with the monster. As long as the old man could continue to live, he could break the wrist with the newly appointed county magistrate.

Originally, everything was planned well, but after the old man died, Mr. Zhang and the others had their own ideas. No matter how powerful they were in Qiyuan County, they didn't have the majesty of the county magistrate, so they started to stir up trouble.

It is precisely because Master Zhang and others have used various means for their own self-interest that Jia Qiugu and Qi Qi have a chance to survive, and they have found a lot of clues, and forced Yan Xun and Jing to stay together. Feng Ye appeared!

It can be said that in the county seat of Qiyuan County, success is also caused by people, and failure is also caused by people. The monster hiding in the stone gate and not daring to come out is just a catalyst.

In the end the old man hesitated and said: "After thinking about it for so many years, I still haven't figured out what the stone gate is, but I can be sure that as long as you get close to the stone gate, no matter whether you throw a stone or say something, the monster inside the stone gate should respond , and can even be felt directly.”

Hearing what the old man said, Yan Xun's heart skipped a beat, "Do you have evidence?"

"It's not even evidence. The first time the old man broke into the house, the stone he threw in happened to be stained with some paint. Later, the monster inside the stone gate came out. Although the old man couldn't see it, he could see a little bit of paint. But The stone didn't go into the stone gate at all, it just hit the stone gate."

"If you say the monster is Shimen, it's not."

"There is not only one monster flying out of the stone gate."

The old man has been thinking about this for so many years, he dare not tell others, he can only think about it in his heart, and he is afraid of being seen by others.Now Zi Yan Xun asked, and he was finally able to speak, so he redeemed it all at once.

After saying this, the old man ran out of fuel.

The already skinny body withered quickly, and the moment the old man died, his body quickly turned into a pool of dry bones, and the dry bones turned into powder and disappeared.

The flower tree cub immediately stepped forward to check, "It's completely gone. I speculate that his body must have endured a demon power that does not belong to him, and he couldn't control it at all. It's not that it has no effect. After all, it is to make his dead body come back to life. Come over, and still be able to bring the dead back to life slightly."

"That's right." Yan Xun thought the same way.

The old man sample was dead, but the old man who talked to them just now seemed to be a living person, but he died in one breath, and the body could not be left behind.

Thinking of what the old man said, Yan Xun thought of what Dan Honghong did these days, his heart skipped a beat.

The little prince also thought of it, and he was also taken aback, afraid that Yan Xun would anger Dan Honghong, so he hurriedly said: "It was my idea that Dan Honghong bombed Shimen at the beginning, if your lord blames it, you can blame me. Dan Honghong is actually very Good boy, I never dared to resist adults."

"You don't need to intercede with him, I know my own son best." Yan Xun raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, motioning for Zhan Rabbit to arrange for someone to clean up the room, and then led them out, "Dan Hong Hong just got spoiled. Brother Dan wasn't so spoiled back then, but Dan Honghong is better..."

Even if the cubs are kind to Dan Honghong, they are also kind to brother Dan, and Yan Xun treats Dan Honghong equally, but the little prince treats Dan Honghong like he wants the moon not to pick the stars.

The little prince is also very intelligent, so it is more than enough to teach Dan Honghong, Yan Xun has never worried about it, never thought that Dan Honghong could cause trouble.
