Cub Nursery

Mingmao tossed and tossed his body all night, and he was in full swing. Although he didn't make a sound, could Huilu just fall asleep like this? He also stayed up all night with his mind full of thoughts.

Waiting for the dawn of the day, the cat rushed out with the iron basin, ran to fetch hot water, washed his face, washed his hands, rinsed his mouth, and tidied up his clothes carefully, then asked Shang Huilu to go to the dining hall to eat together.

These Taoist soldiers only need to hold the wooden sign specially prepared by the steward for meals, and they don't need to take extra money.

There are windows in the dining hall, and there are big rice bowls inside. Just show the wooden signboard for what kind of food you want to eat, and the people inside will scoop up a big spoonful when they see it.However, you can only order one meat dish, not all meat dishes.

On the other side, there are noodles and steamed buns. You can eat as much as you want. The only requirement is not to waste. All the people are above the head of the cook, and sometimes there will be a deputy staring at him. Anyway, ever since a Taoist soldier wasted once, and the person who came to stare at him turned out to be Yang Qiong, he never dared to waste again. No one else dared to waste it.

Can it be easy to become a general's Taoist soldier?Even if you don't do anything, just stare at you with staring eyes, that's enough.

Gray Deer also got a wooden card. He played his favorite bean sprouts and chicken legs, and took two steamed buns.

"That's all you eat?" Mingmao took five big steamed buns for himself, made a few topping dishes, and ate one steamed bun in two or three mouthfuls. Seeing that the gray deer ate so little, he was very surprised, and hurriedly Said, "But it doesn't suit your appetite? Let me tell you, don't look at the simple food, it's really delicious. It's not like we haven't eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, in fact, the taste is just like that."

"No, I'll be full after eating these." Gray Deer whispered.

He is incompetent and dare not take risks. The food he can get on weekdays is really small, so he keeps shrinking his body to eat. Over time, his appetite has become so small, which just makes him look thin and thin. It looks better.

The only fear he can take is the appearance.

Ming Mao looked at Gray Deer disapprovingly, and gave him his own chicken leg, "Eat more, we're going to the Demon Country later, where it's still a battlefield, eat more, in case you die in battle , it’s worth the meal if you’re full!”

Oh yes, I'm going to the battlefield later, but why didn't he escape?

"Aren't you afraid?" Gray Lu's body trembled uncontrollably, he was very afraid of going to the battlefield, very afraid of going to the demon country, afraid of death.

"Afraid? Who isn't afraid?" Ming Mao's steamed buns were almost finished, and the food was almost eaten, so he slowed down, "But what's the use of being afraid? Don't you go to the battlefield? I used to think about eating and waiting. If you die, you can live a day. But I went to Qiyuan County...it's a little different."

"Master Yan told us to go to the battlefield, so let's go, unequivocally!"

"Compared to Mr. Yan, what are we?"

Yan Xun did so many things for Qiyuan County, and all the people in Qiyuan County rose up. It was he who suggested to Jia Qiugu that these people should serve hard labor instead of convicting them.It was Yan Xun who advocated opening the canal so that Qiyuan County could have a canal across it to irrigate the farmland.

It was Yan Xun who advocated the planning of Qiyuan County, making this place unique.

It was Yan Xun who gave Qiyuan County a garrison again.

Mingmao saw all of this, and he admired Yan Xun very much. Compared with Yan Xun, he was nothing in an instant.

Compared with Yan Xun, he immediately felt that it was nothing to go to the battlefield, even if he died in battle, he definitely deserved his death.

"If you're afraid, don't go." Mingmao said, "When you see Lord Yan later, if you just say you're afraid, the Lord won't let you go. When I was in Qiyuan County, one of my colleagues saw the blood. We still laughed at him when he fainted. Master Yan said that it was a disease, and he was born unable to see blood, so he specially arranged an errand for him that would not see blood. I heard that he has become a steward now, very prestigious. .”

"No matter what, just say it."

After hearing what Mingmao said, Huilu thought it would be a big deal to tell Lord Yan that he was afraid, and he still had a chance not to go to the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Huilu ate with Mingmao, tidied up his clothes, and went to the front of the cement building together.

In Huilu's mind, this concrete building is very tall, so tall that he can only look up, and he is not even qualified to approach it.On weekdays, all the people who come in and out here are the chief stewards, lieutenants, even the generals, and of course the cubs.

An existence like Gray Deer has no chance to get close to the concrete building, even if it has no chance to watch from afar.

Gray Deer took the initiative to stand at the back, lowered his head, and kept stirring his brand new clothes with his fingers. His heartbeat became faster and faster. He knew that he was about to say that he was afraid, but he felt that if he said Yes, it's really shameless.

The Taoist soldiers standing in front were sluggish at first, but suddenly they all stood up straight, Gray Deer hurriedly followed suit, raised his head and saw Master Yan in the distance.

At the beginning when I had a glimpse outside the city, it was just that Yan Xun was wearing a mask at that time, but the Yan Xun in front of me was not wearing a mask, Hui Lu knew what the posture of heaven and man is.

"You all know, don't you?" Yan Xun asked with a smile, "That's right, today I'm going to ask you to go to the Demon Kingdom through the small gate of the outer city wall!"

All the Taoist soldiers looked serious, but no one panicked, and no one spoke.

They still remember that they were once in the guard of honor of the imperial envoy, that they came from Qiyuan County, that this is a border town, and that the Taoist soldiers in the border town were still fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, killing demons to death, and they were also Dao soldiers, why can't they go to the battlefield?

Even Ming Mao's eyeballs were a little red, he wished he could rush to the battlefield immediately, kill one monster to get back his money, and kill two monsters to earn money!

"If anyone is afraid, you can stand up now, and I will arrange other errands." Yan Xun said, "Don't feel ashamed, this is normal. I have intensive phobia, and it is also a disease to dare not go to the battlefield. , Go back and look for Xiaohua, generally Xiaohua can diagnose it, as long as it is a real disease, then you will not be allowed to go to the battlefield in the future."

Gray Deer was moved, he felt that he must have such a disease!

He wants to stand up!

"There are post station Taoist soldiers who will go to the battlefield with you. Several of them can't go to the battlefield because they are afraid."

Hearing what Yan Xun said, Hui Lu was even more moved.

His hands slowly clenched into fists, and he even opened his mouth, wanting to speak out what he had been chewing on for a long time!

"My lord." Jing Fengye said suddenly, and handed over a bowl of soup with a bitter taste that could be smelled from far away.

Yan Xun suddenly changed his face.

Originally, he didn't need to drink the soup so frequently. It was Huashu Cub who wrote the pulse case and rushed it back to the Beijing Baoyutang Medical Center. Huo Lao gave him a prescription and asked Yan Xun to drink a bowl of soup every hour. .Jing Fengye took Huo Lao's prescription as if he had taken an imperial decree, and set up more than a dozen charcoal stoves to cook soup.

"Sure, I'll drink it." Yan Xun frowned, knowing in his heart that drinking this stuff would be good for his health, but he still couldn't accept the bitter taste of the soup.

Holding his breath and drinking it in one gulp, Yan Xun felt that his life would be worse than death.

Jing Fengye brought over another small bowl of sugar water, just a small sip.

Yan Xun quickly drank it.

"I... I'm going to be groggy after drinking the medicine, please listen to me first... I will go to the Demon Kingdom with you..." Yan Xun fell down just as he struggled to finish the sentence , just fell into Jing Fengye's arms.

Watching Yan Xun fall down, the little cubs who had been hiding in the concrete building and hadn't been on the battlefield for a while came out.

Brother Dan looked up at Yan Xun, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, with his hands behind his back, and he said, "Daddy, daddy, you also have today! Can you resist the prescription prescribed by Mr. Huo? Mr. Huo wrote us a letter, since I can’t tell daddy to raise pigs honestly, so I’ll take you with medicine! Hehe!”

Yan Xun who fell asleep was very quiet, completely different from usual.

Brother Dan thinks that Huo Lao's prescription is simply a peerless medicine, and whenever Yan Xun drinks the medicine, he can't help but jump out and say a few words.

"Brother Dan, he is your father." Jing Fengye lowered his head and stared at Brother Dan.

"Hmph." Brother Dan is not afraid of Jing Fengye, but he didn't continue talking, but ran to the front and shouted at the Taoist soldiers, "Did you hear what my father said just now? Who is so scared? Come forward, my brother will check the pulse on the spot, and if you are really sick, leave immediately. If you want to go to the battlefield, you will not be allowed to go. My father keeps his word and will go to sleep on the battlefield. We will protect my father, and of course we will protect him. you!"

Barbara said something.

Finally a Taoist soldier stood up.

Huilu looked at the Taoist soldier without blinking his eyes. He knew that the Taoist soldier came from a noble family, had a high level of cultivation, and was also very good at writing. He was a rare talent!Huilu felt that he should be pretending, the family members are always more life-saving.

"You really can't go to the battlefield." The flower tree cub asked the Taoist soldier a few questions, and then gave him a pulse, "Psychological problems, born, can't be overcome. I will write you a document later, and you will not touch those who beat the soldiers in the future." It’s a matter of killing and killing, so you can be a civil servant with peace of mind.”

"But I'm a Taoist soldier, I have a cultivation base, and my cultivation base is very high." The Taoist soldier said in embarrassment, "Can my illness be cured?"

"It can't be cured. A civil servant is no worse than a military officer. If it is done well, it can help the border town resist the monster attack!" The flower tree cub said, "You go back to the train station first, ask the steward over there, and take a simple errand first. doing."

Dao Bing was still a little regretful, he wanted to ask if his illness could be cured, even he didn't think he was ill before, but the flower tree cub said so, so he could only walk aside.

Gray Deer looked at the Taoist soldier, and slowly loosened his clenched fists.

He suddenly didn't want to stand up.

He wanted to go to the outer city wall, and wanted to try it on the battlefield.

He is a despicable villain who uses all means to climb up the ladder, but he also wants to get military exploits openly and aboveboard!

No more Taoist soldiers stood up, Hui Lu saw another group of Taoist soldiers coming from the other side, and he knew where these Taoist soldiers came from.

All the post stations around the border town were destroyed by Yan Xun, and all the living Taoists inside came to the border town, and all lived in the border town train station.When the cubs evacuated back then, they didn't forget about them. They promised to arrange for them, but now they are given a chance to go to the battlefield.

"It's time to go to the battlefield." The vegetable snake was a little excited, "I don't know if I can kill a monster."

"How did I hear that we're not going to the battlefield?" Spearhead Viper whispered, "I heard a steward say something."

"Isn't it going to the demon country to go to the battlefield? You heard it wrong. Now that the monsters are attacking the city, there are battlefields outside the outer city wall! I heard that the silver-clawed hyena monster emerges from the soil. We only need to go to the demon country. There will be a silver-clawed hyena monster, which is extremely dangerous!" The vegetable snake said, "I asked the Taoist soldiers in the capital camp, and he said that idlers can't go to the demon country, and can only fight on the outer city wall."

This Spearhead Viper had also heard of it, so he nodded without saying anything.

Soon these Taoist soldiers followed the cement road to the outer city wall.

Facing the outer city wall at close range, even the side close to the border city is full of scars, with countless fresh and old bloodstains.

That terrifying feeling of oppression prevailed. Gray Deer just looked up at the towering outer city wall and became dizzy. The two battled and almost couldn't stand up straight. It was too scary!

He was so frightened that he almost fainted, and managed to support himself. He hurried to see the other Taoist soldiers, and found that they were not much better either.

"It's Dahei!" The vegetable snake was also terrified.

Regardless of the fact that he has been living at the border town train station, he has never been to other places in the border town at all. Firstly, he has a special status and cannot go to the camp in the border town because he is not counted as a border guard. Second, he is not a military household in the border town. You can't go to the textile workshop, and you can only stay in the train station.

This was the first time he was so close to the outer city wall, so close to the little bee demon hovering in the sky, and so close to the silver-clawed hyena demon outside the outer city wall.

But the vegetable snake quickly came back to his senses, so he saw the ant marching monster lying on the side of the road and stood up.

"Dahei!" Spearhead Viper also came back to his senses, his tone was a little excited, "It's Dahei, does he want to go outside with us?"

The gigantic ant marching demon lightly poked the back of Yan Xun's hand with its tentacles, and then touched Jing Fengye again.

The smart Dahei already knows that Jing Fengye is Yan Xun's man, and his attitude towards Jing Fengye can be regarded as loving the house.

Jing Fengye hugged Yan Xun, stepped on Dahei's barbs and landed on Dahei's back.

"Open the city gate!" Brother Dan shouted, "Brothers are going to the battlefield, today I and... will protect Father."

Because it is not yet possible to make Dan Juju known to everyone, Brother Dan winks at Dan Juju.

The cubs all understood and were relieved, so they carried their umbrellas one by one to the outer city wall.

The small door of the outer city wall slowly opened, and the terrifying aura unique to the demon kingdom spread.

"Damn, this is too scary, I want to commit suicide right now." Mingmao swallowed and said, "Fortunately, I drank that soup just now, and my heart feels warm, otherwise I feel that life is hopeless Woolen cloth."

The two groups of Gray Deer were fighting, almost losing their footing.

He looked at Mingmao, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

"Let's go!" Brother Dan said, and rushed out of the small door first.

The huge ant marching demon followed immediately.

Some silver-clawed hyena demons who wanted to take the opportunity to come in through the small door were immediately beaten back, leaving a chance for the Taoist soldiers behind to breathe.

"Just go!" Mingmao slapped himself hard, and walked away.

The Taoist soldiers in front were all gone, Huilu knew that this was his last chance, as long as he turned around and ran, even if he was caught by those Taoist soldiers, he would definitely not be forced to send him to the demon country to die.But Yan Xun has no cultivation, he even fell asleep, he has already gone to the demon country, but Mingmao comes from a family, and his cultivation is not so high, he also went to the demon country, but brother Dan is so little, He was only a few years old, and he went to the demon country without hesitation.

Then why can't he go?

When Mingmao came back to his senses, he had passed through the small gate of the outer city wall, and the small gate of the outer city wall behind him had been closed.

"Hey? What's going on?" Mingmao said loudly, "Where's the monster?"

"The monster is outside." Brother Dan said loudly, "It is an experience for you to come to the demon country. How could you be allowed to go directly to the battlefield? How many of you have enough cultivation to go to the battlefield? Not enough cultivation , Do you have any experience? If you haven’t actually experienced it, how can you be sent to the battlefield! This time, I didn’t explain your experience in advance, just to see how many talents you have available!”

Brother Dan ran to the edge while talking loudly, raised his hand and tapped lightly.

"It's glass! But is glass so powerful?" Mingmao finally understood. It turned out that when they came out of the small gate of the outer city wall, they just passed through a very short dangerous area, and soon entered a huge glass box!

Ke Mingmao remembers that the glass is actually very fragile, and it will shatter if it is not careful, and it must not be able to withstand the impact of the monster.

"Hmph, this is the glass specially researched by my brothers and I. I used a lot of beautiful lizard carcasses, and I only made this little glass in total. This time I used all of them." Brother Dan said, "Today. This one is not for you to come to watch the scenery, can you all move now?"

Mingmao tried to move his body, only to find that his body froze.

When he came out of the small gate of the outer city wall, what he encountered was overwhelming silver-clawed hyena monsters. Although he was temporarily safe, the impact brought by these monsters and the unique negative emotional attacks of the monster country all made him feel uncomfortable and at a loss as to what to do.

Even if he knew that he was actually in the glass box, he could still clearly see the monsters in the distance, and he could even see those monsters rushing towards him.

The silver-clawed hyena monster is fierce and fierce, with cold lights shining in its claws, killing people is like chopping vegetables and cutting melons!

Only by facing these monsters directly can Mingmao know what the real battlefield is like!

The battlefield is far more dangerous than he imagined, and the monsters are also more ferocious than he imagined.He only thought that he could kill at least one monster when he went to the battlefield, but now it seemed that he didn't even have the chance to kill a monster.

He is really weak and insignificant, and he thinks too highly of himself, but in fact he is nothing, useless at all.

"Monster..." Mingmao murmured, rolled his eyes and passed out.

Brother Dan watched these Taoist soldiers faint one after another, and finally only one person stood still.

"Grey deer?" Brother Dan took a closer look, and the last one left was gray deer. He hurried over and said happily, "Grey deer, why didn't you faint? Is it because you were in the border town before? But You have never been on the battlefield, your cultivation base is not high enough, you have no experience, and you have never even served as an auxiliary soldier, you are... really amazing."

Brother Dan really thought that the gray deer was very powerful. He stretched out his little paw towards the gray deer, "Come with me, and feed them pills with me."

Gray Deer's body could move, he was still afraid, still wondering if he was going to run back, but his body moved, he followed Brother Dan, watched Brother Dan take out a glass bottle and handed it to him as if he was juggling.

He subconsciously took the glass bottle, took out a small, fragrant pill inside, squatted down, and fed it to the sleeping Taoist soldier.

"The soup and medicine I gave you before leaving the city are the most basic. I also want you to come to the demon country to practice and practice, and then give you pills outside, so that you can exercise something." Brother Dan babbled while feeding the pills He said, "These are all pills rubbed with Guiyuan blue ganoderma lucidum, and they won't be exchanged for ten thousand gold. But I asked you to come out without telling you anything, which is actually very bad, but apart from this method, I really can't think of any other way." .”

"Your cultivation base is still not enough, I have to continue to work hard before I go back."

"Hui Lu, I think you have a good talent. In the future, if you work hard on your body, you may be able to improve your cultivation a lot in the future."

"En." Gray Deer replied vaguely.

He also got a pill, which was handed over by Brother Dan himself.

The little cub was carrying the glass bottle, holding the pill in its small paws and lifting it up. The gray deer had to use two fingers to squeeze it carefully.

The pill looked very big in Brother Dan's claws, but it looked very small in his hand, but it tasted so sweet that Gray Deer couldn't help swallowing it in one gulp.The pill melted in his mouth, and quickly turned into a warm current that filled his whole body, making him feel warm, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

"How is it?" Brother Egg asked.

"Very well," Gray Deer said, "I don't seem to be so scared anymore."

"That's good." Brother Dan nodded, and continued to feed the other Taoist soldiers with pills.

After taking the pills, Mingmao woke up quickly. As soon as he sat up, he saw Gray Deer beside him, and hurriedly said, "What's going on? I felt dizzy, and then I didn't know what to do. Could it be because of the demon kingdom?" ?”

"Brother Dan said that it is because we are not strong enough and inexperienced, and we only drank soup and medicine, so we can't bear the double impact of the demon country and monsters." Huilu hurriedly explained, "The impact of ordinary monsters on Dao soldiers is actually not that great. Big, it’s just because we met for the first time, so we can’t bear it, Brother Dan said it’s normal.”

"Are you dizzy too?" Seeing that there are still many Taoist soldiers around who have not woken up, and there are many Taoist soldiers who have just woken up, he is not alone, so he is a little relieved, as long as he is not alone It's good for people to hold back, otherwise he will despise himself to death.

Arrogantly coming to the demon country, thinking about killing monsters, but in the end, he didn't do anything, and he just fainted and disappeared.

Gray Deer was a little hesitant, he wanted to lie to Ming Mao that he had fainted so that Ming Mao would not think too much...
