Cub Nursery

Some carriages have glass windows open, and the cubs lie on them and watch everyone.

"He's here too!" Brother Huan said, "Daddy, I saw him."

The Shanshan cub changed his clothes, but his appearance remained the same. It was still the darkest one among the group of cubs, and he could be seen at a glance.

On the train, the Shan Shan cub also saw Brother Huan, and hurriedly said to the other cubs, "That's Brother Huan, my good friend. When we meet, I'll introduce you to him. He's all right. .”

"Are all these people here to welcome your lord?" asked the little cubs.

"En." Shaking Mountain cub nodded seriously.

Everything that happened in the border town, including Brother Ming and Brother Huan, the Shanshan cubs told everyone when they just returned, so although the cubs have never seen Brother Huan, they all know what he is people.

The military households in the border town who had been waiting for a long time saw the iron gates on the train open, and the skilled craftsmen came down first.

Then Yan Xun stepped down the iron steps step by step, looked at the people who had been waiting for a long time with a smile, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

"Welcome Master Yan back." Someone shouted with a clear voice.

Immediately afterwards, everyone shouted in unison: "Welcome Master Yan back."

They were all wearing the most decent clothes they had. Although they were patched, they were washed clean. The children also washed their faces, put on clean clothes, and looked forward eagerly.

Everyone has been busy, and the mulberry trees and cotton in the fields are well taken care of.

Before Yan Xun left, the food left by Yan Xun was enough for everyone to eat for a long time. Those bags of food were all in the barracks, guarded by Taoist soldiers.

In fact, Yan Xun has not been away for a long time. The hard days in the border towns have passed, but everyone misses Yan Xun in unison, as if he has no backbone after he left.

The military households in the border town spontaneously arranged for people to stand on the top of the hill and look into the distance every day.

If the train appears, light the smoke.

Everyone who saw the wolf smoke hurriedly put down their work and gathered in front of the railway spontaneously. They also specially changed into decent clothes and brought their children with them.

The Taoist soldiers of the border town camp also spontaneously came out and stood at the back.

"Everyone should be busy. I'm not leaving right away. I'm not in a hurry." Yan Xun said with a smile, "But I'm ugly, I brought these cubs here. Monsters are different, if anyone accidentally injures them, don't blame me for being rude. Of course, I will also restrain the cubs and prevent them from causing trouble."

After saying something good and bad, Yan Xun hurriedly asked people to disperse.

As for the new cubs, the military households in the border town, including the Taoist soldiers, did not respond.

There are Shaking Mountain cubs who have come here early, and it is not so unusual for the cubs to come again.

Brother Huan came that day.

The Shan Shan cub hurriedly introduced, "He is Brother Huan, he is the one who taught me to weave grasshoppers." He then introduced the cubs to Brother Huan.

"Hello." Brother Huan was a little cautious.

It was the first time he saw so many monster cubs at once, but these cubs were all neatly dressed like Shashan cubs, and they were very polite and knowledgeable, unlike the monsters in the demon kingdom.

"You came here because of something, right?" Yan Xun finally spoke up after brother Huan and the cubs got to know each other.

Brother Huan hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord. All the silkworms have cocooned. When shall we pick the cocoons?"

"I have to go and see to make a decision." Yan Xun said.

Immediately, Yan Xun took the cubs to the silkworm room.

Each wooden frame is hung on the shelf, and there is a silkworm cocoon in each square.

Yan Xun picked one, stared at it for a while with a magnifying glass, cut it open with scissors, and said, "Well, it's time to pick it. After a few days, I started to peel it off... have you brought all the tools? "

The latter sentence was addressed to the cubs.

"Bring them all." The black and white cub hurriedly said.

"That's good." Yan Xun nodded.

Coming out of the silkworm room, Yan Xun looked at Mian Mian again.

These cottons grow very fast. It is clearly summer now, and they are all mature before autumn. The changes in the explosion are bigger than a fist. The white flowers inside are all cotton, but the seeds are very small.

Yan Xun also gave the picking order.

Now the fields around the border town are all his property, no matter what he does, no one else can say anything.However, Yan Xun did not think that these fields were his own private property, nor did he turn the military households into tenants, everything was still the same as before.

Brother Huan took a small bench and sat down, quickly poked the cocoons in the square with both hands, and the bag below was full in a short while.

"I heard that the spinning machine can turn silkworm cocoons into threads and then weave them into cloth. I don't know if it's true."

"It must be true. Haven't you seen all the new plows and planters? Such a big iron bump, as long as you can pull it, you can sow seeds." Brother Huan said without raising his head, "This time the spinning machine and loom I brought them all, and they're still on the train."

"What? Brother Huan, have you seen it?"

"Well, I saw it. After we finish picking the cocoons, we will go to training, and then we can use the machine if we perform well." Brother Huan said, "Don't be lazy, big guy, Lord Yan is watching."

The children in the silkworm room became serious when they heard the words, and stopped gossiping, and worked hard with their mouths pursed.

Not far from the silkworm house, the foundation has been dug and the stones are ready.

Bags of cement were unloaded from the train, and the men immediately started working.

Together with the black and white cubs, the flame cubs led the skilled craftsmen on the train to quickly build a stove and start burning cement.

Within a few days, an astonishingly huge workshop was built.There are thick concrete walls on both sides, all of which are built with steel bars and covered with a layer of dry grass and tiles.

Yan Xun personally led the men to lift the spinning machine and loom parts off the train and sent them to the workshop.

"My lord." The Cub Claw had been waiting with his clever buddies early on.

These buddies are carefully selected and the smartest, and they are very excited now to have the opportunity to learn how to assemble the machine with Claw Cubs.

"Well, let's start assembling." Yan Xun said.

"Look at the part number, don't misplace it." The claw cub yelled.

Some parts are small, and some parts are taller than Claw Cub, who sometimes has to stand on a bench to assemble.When the turnbuckles were screwed up one by one, the steel bars were put on, and the last part was put in place, everyone gasped when they looked at this huge monster.

It's really amazing, and I can't see how this behemoth handles the small cocoon, let alone how it can be spun into thread.

Although they don't understand it, everyone still feels that this machine can definitely do it.

"Testing first." Yan Xun said.

"Okay." The claw cub hurriedly began to command.

The huge workshop is divided into several places, and the silkworm cocoons have to go through several processes before being fed into the machine.

When thin lines appeared on the erected hoops, everyone including Yan Xun himself breathed a sigh of relief, they succeeded.

Where there is thread, there is cloth.

New spinning machines, new looms.

Cotton was much easier to spin, and cotton was the first to be woven.

"Try to weave some fabrics with silk and cotton threads," Yan Xun said.

The cotton cloth is soft and delicate, the surface texture is very small, you can hardly see it unless you look carefully, and there is a layer of soft fluff on the surface, which is very close to the skin.Yan Xun took out the sewing machine himself and sewed a lot of light clothes for the cubs.

When the first piece of cloth was woven, the whole border town fell into carnival, and Yan Xun also took the opportunity to announce that everyone could rest for a day.

Everyone ran outside, yelling, covering their faces, laughing and wiping away the tears from their eyes.

Brother Huan ran out from the workshop and ran all the way to an unremarkable small grave, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and murmured: "Brother, brother is capable now and can support you."

"Now that we have woven the cloth, I heard that it will be shipped to the capital for sale, and the price is very high. My brother now pays a lot of money, and the workshop also manages the food. Every meal is full. There is dry rice, not porridge. Wild vegetables You don’t need to eat it, there are delicious bean sprouts.”

"Brother, the fields don't need to be abandoned. They are all planted with mulberry trees and cotton, and there is such a big plow that it takes several people to pull it."

"Our family has become richer, brother..."

Brother Huan lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

He still remembers what happened at that time, his younger brother was thin and small, only a little big, his arms and legs were only bones, and his eyes were big.

The neighbor's child is just like the younger brother, and he is so innocent.

Other people's children are also like that.

The living live in pain, and the dead die in pain.

"Your younger brother will be very happy if he knows that you are doing well now." Shaking Mountain Cub saw that Brother Huan was a little unusual when he was in the workshop, so he followed him out.

Seeing that brother Huan kept mumbling in a low voice, the mountain shake cub felt uncomfortable.

If he wasn't a monster, he would have died long ago.

He once secretly watched the child starve to death bit by bit, and Brother Huan survived.At that time, he thought that he would starve to death, or else he would die of illness.

Brother Huan ate the pancake, but Brother Huan didn't.

The Shaking Mountain cub also wanted to eat that pancake, but he knew that even if he ate that pancake, his illness would not be cured.

"Your brother actually knows." Shaking Mountain cub whispered.

At that time, only Brother Huan survived the two children, and Brother Huan was too young to survive even if he ate pancakes.

Sometimes reality is so cruel that people in it have no ability to change at all, and can only passively bear the pain given by reality.

Living is very difficult, how can I have the ability to think about other things?

"This kind of thing will never happen again in the future." The Shaking Mountain cub said, "My lord is the best lord, he will not allow this kind of thing to happen. This time the lord brought a lot of food, and the money in the storehouse It took a lot, just to feed everyone.”

"We work together so that this never happens again."

Brother Huan heard his younger brother's voice in a trance, he slowly raised his head, looked over with tears in his eyes, and regarded Shashan cub as his younger brother.

It's just that he knew very well in his heart that his younger brother was gone, and the one in front of him was just the Shaking Mountain cub, not his younger brother.

"Brother..." Brother Huan whispered, "I will definitely work hard to prevent this from happening again."

The border towns are tough, the fields are unproductive, and the military households have no food subsidies. They rely entirely on wild vegetables and food picked from the teeth of the camp in the border towns. Many children quietly disappear every year.

When the fields were filled with mulberry trees and cotton, and when the first piece of cloth was woven, everyone realized that the old days would never return.

They have plenty of strength to work, they can eat less, and they can work day and night, as long as they can keep their children alive, that's enough.

"Son, you are able to have enough food now, thanks to Lord Yan, you know? The cloth we weave can be exchanged for food when we get it to the capital." Brother Ming said earnestly, "We must not forget Lord Yan."

"I know." Brother Huan nodded, "I will always remember."

The carnival starts on this day and never ends.

As soon as everyone opens their eyes, they can think of how much work they have to do today, and how much they have to be worthy of the food they eat.

Before everyone closes their eyes and goes to sleep, they must think about whether they have done enough work today.Are you worthy of today's meal?

Everyone is very motivated and has endless energy.

The Shaking Mountain cub came back and told the other cubs about Brother Huan, "He has always felt guilty in his heart, but he seldom said it out. He is the one who works the hardest among all the children. Actually, Brother Huan is not smart, but he is very hardworking. , and the learning progress is the best among all the children."

"They are all hard-fated people." The black and white cub said, "Let's treat Brother Huan better in the future."

"Yeah." Flame Cub nodded quickly, "When I learn how to weave a grasshopper, I'll make one for him."

In the border town camp, Yan Xun came again.

None of the cubs came, only Jing Fengye followed behind Yan Xun carrying the iron box.

"Lord Yan is here!" Qin Sui saw Yan Xun coming in, hurriedly made way for him, and smiled at him when he saw Jing Fengye.

Although he didn't call Master Jing, he already recognized Jing Fengye in his heart.

Jing Fengye held her head high and stood very reserved behind Yan Xun.The traces of dragon scales on his body are very obvious. If you stare at it, you can clearly feel a suppressed momentum.

"Well, here are some bullets." Yan Xun smiled, "Do you still have enough bullets?"

Qin Sui hurriedly said: "Not enough, not enough."

"Only you are not enough!" Yang Shuning kicked Qin Sui, and cupped his hands at Yan Xun, "Master Yan, there are still some bullets left, but the iron claw hyena has been harassing, so I can use as many bullets as I can."

"I brought a lot this time, it should last for a while," Yan Xun said.

The formula of the bullet is very confidential, those who know it will never tell it, and those who don't know it will not be able to find out even if they are curious.And this kind of bullet can only be made by cubs, and it cannot be replaced by anyone else.

"Why don't you see General Qiu?" Yan Xun looked around, but was a little surprised that he didn't see Qiu Bao.

Before Yan Xun left, he didn't forget Qiu Bao, he was relieved to leave when he knew that nothing would happen, now Yan Xun was a little surprised that he didn't see Qiu Bao in the big tent.

In any case, as long as Qiu Bao can accept the punishment, his general's cultivation level will be there. Even if he can't sit on an equal footing with Yang Shuning, he should at least be in the big tent.

"General Qiu has something to do." Yang Shuning said.

Yan Xun didn't ask any more questions, he turned his head to look at Feng Ye in his glasses.

Jing Fengye hurried forward, put the iron box on the table, and opened it.

The iron box was full of densely packed bullets. When the lieutenants saw it, their eyes lit up. They all had guns, but the bullets were limited, so they were not willing to use them casually. Now that Yan Xun sent so many bullets, they must also I can divide some by virtue of my identity.

Coming out of the camp in the border town, Yan Xun asked Jing Fengye to carry a smaller iron box and went to the outer city.

The Taoist soldiers guarding the city were still the same group. When they saw Yan Xun and Jing Fengye coming, their eyes caught sight of the iron box in Jing Fengye's hand, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Even in the camp in the border town, the relationship between Yang Qiong and Yang Shuning was still not very good, Yang Qiong stubbornly stationed in the outer city, Yang Shuning seldom came to the outer city.

Yan Xun gave Yang Shuning a batch of bullets, Yang Qiong would definitely not go back to ask for it, fearing that he would hold on.The Taoist soldiers guarding the city knew that they were running out of bullets, and everyone was worried about what would happen if they ran out of bullets.

Is it going to be like before, when the iron claw hyena monster attacked the city, the Taoist soldiers rushed down to kill it?

That's not impossible, but more people will be injured, and some soldiers will die...

Now that Jing Fengye came with the iron box, everyone knew that there must be bullets inside, and the cloud in his heart suddenly disappeared.

On the broad city wall, Yang Qiong was making tea, and the small teacup could only be held with two fingers, which seemed to be the case.When he got closer, Yan Xun saw that Yang Qiong was wearing armor, her body was smelly, her hair was messed up, and there was a beard on her face. Although she was holding a teacup in her hand and her movements were very elegant, the smell of tea was completely gone.

"Master Yan, please drink tea." Yang Qiong handed Yan Xun a small teacup.

The general's hands were extremely rough, with some dried blood stains on them, large and small wounds covered all visible skin, and the smell was very unpleasant.

Yan Xun's hands were very tender, without any wounds, and his nails were shiny and beautiful. He took the teacup without changing his face, and drank it in one gulp.

"Master Yan, you don't know how to taste tea." Yang Qiong laughed loudly, holding the teacup by herself, tasting tea decently.

"Little General Yang seems to be in a leisurely mood." Yan Xun put down his teacup and looked directly at Yang Qiong, "Why are you drinking tea here?"

"Master Yan, don't you think this tea tastes good?" Yang Qiong poured himself another cup.

Yan Xun glanced at Feng Ye in his glasses, and said calmly: "If General Yang is busy tasting tea, I won't bother you."

"My lord." Jing Fengye hurried forward to help Yan Xun up, firmly grasping the iron box in his hand, the combination lock on it was locked brightly, even if others got it, they couldn't open it.

Then Yang Qiong's expression changed, and he said: "Hey, don't. This tea is begged from General Qiu, and this is the first time I drink it. Lord Yan, sit down quickly, what kind of tea do you want? Go get it."

Having said that, Yang Qiong's eyes were fixed on the iron box in Jing Fengye's hand.

"General Qiu's tea?" Yan Xun was puzzled.

"General Qiu specially sent it here." Yang Qiong said, "He doesn't know what he did to offend my father. The dignified general actually went to raise horses. The lieutenants under his command are still considered talents, and my father arranged for him. , one of them is right there..."

Yan Xun followed Yang Qiong's guidance and saw a man dressed as a lieutenant standing behind the small door.

"Huang Ting, you are quite capable. My father gave him the errand of Xiaomen. Isn't that against me?" Yang Qiong looked depressed, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the tea set that Qiu Bao gave him.

"General Qiu received the punishment, did Huang Ting?" Yan Xun asked.

"General Qiu received the punishment for his subordinates. Otherwise, he is a great general with such a high level of cultivation. Why can't he do it and raise horses?"
