Cub Nursery

Yang Shuning directly determined the nature of the jersey: an extra life.

"General Yang." Yan Xun took the opportunity to finish in a few words.

Yang Shuning pondered for a long time, and bowed deeply to Yan Xun, thanking him for his deep understanding of righteousness, thanking him for giving the Taoist soldiers an extra life, and thanking him for being willing to bear the infamy to preserve the only goodness left in the hearts of the Taoist soldiers.

The Taoist soldiers who were supposed to go to the outer city wall for shifts were stopped by Yang Shuning with excuses, but it was still Yang Qiong who led the original Taoist soldiers to guard the outer city wall.

The iron claw hyena monsters came in waves, and the green cotton was picked in waves.

The second batch of cotton collected in the textile workshop is woven into cloth, and the second batch of silkworms cocoons are spun and spun to weave cloth.In the most secret warehouse, there are finally stacks of green cotton cloth like hills.

Yang Qiong never returned to the camp in the border city, and neither did the group of Taoist soldiers.

Slowly, some lieutenants began to ponder: I often saw Yan Xun taking the cubs to the outer city wall. Although the cubs stayed below the city wall every time, Yan Xun and Jing Fengye often went to the city wall, and sometimes will disappear for a long time.

"General Qin, is there something wrong with the outer city wall?" A deputy general approached Qin Sui and asked.

Qin Sui was sweating profusely, "This... nothing happened, nothing happened."

He knew part of the truth, but he couldn't tell it. He racked his brains to excuse Yang Qiong in front of the puzzled lieutenants.But no matter what he said, it is a fact that those Taoist soldiers have been guarding the city wall and have not been able to return to the camp in the border town.

"It'll be fine." In the end, Qin Sui could only say dryly.

"There must be something. If the iron-clawed hyena invades, we soldiers are fine, what about those military households who have no power to restrain chickens? What about so many children?"

"No, we have to go and see."

While the lieutenants were worried about the safety of the outer city wall, they thought it was too strange inside and wanted to figure out what happened.

At this time, Fan Jiang suddenly said mysteriously, "You really want to know what happened?"

"General Fan, you know?"

"I also heard someone say that it can't be true, just listen to it." Fan Jiangdao, "I heard that Master Yan has already controlled the outer city wall, and he often goes out of the city, saying that he is studying the iron-clawed hyena monster. I think... What is it, who knows?"

"General Fan, how do you know?" Qin Sui was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to show it.

Fan Jiang said mysteriously, "Don't say it, don't say it."

These words are groundless, but many people believe them.

With Yan Xun's ability, if he really wanted to control the outer city wall, wouldn't it be easy?In addition, the cubs he brought are all monsters, and there is a demon country outside the outer city wall. If Yan Xun wants to do something, doesn't he have to control the outer city wall first?

This kind of speculation spread like wildfire, at the beginning it was circulated among lieutenants, and soon it reached the ears of thousands of households, hundreds of households, and ordinary Taoists.

Intensified.

Even the military households in the border town heard it.

Yan Xun didn't seem to notice it, still led the cubs to the outer city wall, let the cubs stay, and he and Jing Feng went up to the city wall at night.

On the city wall, the Taoists saw Yan Xun and saluted respectfully.

Although they haven't been able to rest these days, Yan Xun gave them a lot of bullets, so they don't need to be afraid of the Iron Claw Hyena Monster, and each of them is given a can of braised pork a day, and the others eat their food tubes to fill their stomachs.

The Taoist soldiers also put on light battle robes.

In the past, the Iron Claw Hyena easily ran up the city wall, biting his legs and breaking his legs, and biting his arms and losing his arms, but since he put on the new battle robe, even if the Iron Claw Hyena occasionally ran up the city wall, he couldn't bite through it. The battle robes, even instinctively fear these green battle robes.

It won't be easily injured, the mouth of the Iron Claw Hyena is not so scary anymore, and some soldiers even bravely rushed up to break the Iron Claw Hyena's neck with their bare hands.

Although they could not return to the camp in the border town, their morale was still high.

For ordinary Dao soldiers, if they can kill monsters, perform meritorious service, and get benefits, that's enough.As for who the leading generals are, as long as they are not allowed to rebel, they don't really care that much at all.

Another wave of iron claw hyena monsters appeared, and the Taoist soldiers raised their guns in high spirits.

"It's the same as last time. Whoever hits the most this time still has extra cans of braised pork." Yan Xun was also on the wall, and he pointed to the wooden box opened by his feet. "Today is the last time. Cherish it."

"Master Yan, why is it the last time? The Iron Claw Hyena Demon will have to come for a while."

"Then there will be no more canned braised pork?"

"Master Yan, is there going to be a replacement for the outer city wall?"

The Taoist soldiers did not have any dissatisfaction, but cherished this opportunity very much.They all knew what Yan Xun was doing with the military power, and they also knew that Yan Xun planned to take all the responsibility on himself.

Such a general, to the Taoist soldiers, is like their own parents, no matter what the child does, the parents are willing to take care of it.

No one dislikes Yan Xun, but sincerely thinks that he is very good.

Yan Xun smiled, "The green cotton is almost harvested, if the remaining iron-clawed hyenas can't climb the city wall, let them live, it will save us from having no land to harvest green cotton by this time next year. Don't worry about your affairs , I have already agreed with General Yang, he will make arrangements for you. Take a good rest when you return to the camp..."

"Don't worry, Master Yan, we are all anxious about what you have to say."

"We used to hate these iron-clawed hyena monsters, but now we think these things are not bad." Dao Bing said, the guns in his hands rang one after another, and the iron-clawed hyena monsters fell down one by one.

When the Iron Claw Hyena retreated, Yan Xun led the Taoist soldiers skillfully out of the school gate and planted cotton seeds.

The number of iron-clawed hyena monsters is increasing every year. It is said that before the city wall was built, more than a dozen of these monsters appeared every time. The more, until the city wall is built, the number of iron claw hyena monsters has become quite large. In some years, they appear overwhelming, and it is often the time when the Taoist soldiers suffer heavy casualties.

As for this year, the number of iron-clawed hyena monsters was more than in previous years, and Yang Qiong was ready to die endlessly, but Yan Xun sent food, clothes, guns and bullets.

Guarding the outer city wall has become a job that won't kill people, but it's just a little tiring. The changes make some veterans can't help but say a few words every time they think about it, "Our fate is good, otherwise it would be good if we can survive five of us this year." gone."

There are ten people in a group, basically they are from the same village, they live in a tent, they also practice together on weekdays, and they are led by a cook.

Experienced veterans know that when encountering difficult thoughts, most of the group will die, and the rest may not be killed by monsters, but will die of illness.

This year, no Taoist soldiers were killed by the Iron Claw Hyena. Occasionally, those who were bitten were rushed to see a doctor. Doctor Xiaohua was highly skilled in medicine and could always heal the wounds in time.

No Taoist soldier died of illness, because everyone can eat enough to eat, and the tents where they live are no longer leaking everywhere. If they are full and warm, very few people get sick. never mind.

If the previous days were hell on earth, then now are the days of gods that you can't even imagine.

Many veterans who have guarded the border town for nearly ten years are always in awe when they see Yan Xun.Only those newly arrived or ambitious Taoist soldiers would have other ideas, trying to get something from Yan Xun.

It’s just that those people don’t think about it. Yan Xun almost contributed to the changes in the border town. What is it like before?Since Yan Xun has such ability, he will definitely not be easily used.

After these Taoist soldiers killed the iron claw hyena demon, they took off their battle robes very reluctantly.

When the lieutenants couldn't bear it anymore and joined forces to question Yang Shuning, the Taoist soldiers on shift were ready and left the border camp to go to the outer city wall under the watchful eyes of the lieutenants.

The original Taoist soldiers waited on the outer city wall, then solemnly handed over their shirts, and earnestly instructed the Taoist soldiers who came to take over.

After explaining, they went back to the camp in the border city with the canned braised pork they had saved, and the rest of the Taoist soldiers who came to the new shift looked at each other with fluffy war robes.

"Everyone put on their shirts," Yang Qiong said.

"General, what is this?" Someone asked.

"You will know when you put it on." Of course Yang Qiong would not say how these shirts came about.

Every few days, the war robes worn by the Taoist soldiers on the outer city wall were rumored to be miraculous.

"As lieutenants, why can't we have that kind of shirt?" Fan Jiang took the lead to find Yang Shuning.

"General Yang, we know that the young general who guards the outer city wall is your son, but you can't be so partial."

"I heard that the jersey is invulnerable, but is it true?"

On the battlefield, gold and silver are not good, only things that can save lives are good.

If the green jersey is really that powerful, these lieutenants will naturally have to move their minds.

Yang Shuning glanced at Fan Jiang unobtrusively, and laughed loudly: "I don't care about those shirts. If you want them, you can ask Mr. Yan for them. They are all made by him. I'm not good at that." His son snatched it from Master Yan..."

The lieutenants looked at each other.

They would be foolish if they believed Yang Shuning's words.

Yang Shuning refused to tell the truth, and the lieutenants didn't dare to force him to ask, so they thought about it and turned to Qiu Bao, the horse breeder, to inquire.Qiu Bao avoided talking about it, not even talking to Fan Jiang.

Fan Jiang was originally Qiu Bao's confidant, and Qiu Bao was punished for him, but now he doesn't speak when they meet. Whether this is pretending not to know each other, or really doesn't want to talk, others don't know.

The lieutenants still refused to give up, so they asked how the green jersey was made.

"It has something to do with the Iron Claw Hyena. It's very cruel. I don't know how. Only Yan Xun and those monster cubs can do it cruelly." Fan Jiang said, "This is the news I found out. Do you believe it or not."

Believe it or not?

Even though those Taoist soldiers never went back to the camp in the border city, and even if they came back now, they all gather together to rest, but there are still some people who can find out a few words with great powers.

The battle robe is indeed related to the iron claw hyena monster, and the word 'cruel' is also absolutely true.

So many people who heard it remembered the scene when the cubs dissected the Iron Claw Hyena, which was bloody, cruel, and full of frightening cruelty.Those cubs moved their knives and guns without changing their expressions.

If that's the case, it's too cruel.

Fan Jiang secretly teased the stupid lieutenant, "If the shirt is really made by cruel means, I don't think it is advisable. Although we are hostile to the demon country, we still have the proper etiquette and benevolence."

"Correct!"

"At the very least, Yang Qiong can't have the green jersey alone!"

Everyone has their own little thoughts, and they all have similar ideas. Anyway, we have to muddy the water first, and then fish in the muddy water.As for the so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, that's just talk, who can really abide by it?

People live with flesh and blood, but they are not as rigid as the poems written in books. If they really stick to benevolence, righteousness and morality, who can really climb to such a high position as a lieutenant general?

When the entire border camp was undercurrent, Yang Qiong suddenly ran away, and Qin Sui took the opportunity to climb the outer city wall and become the guard.

The lieutenants who didn't get the chance secretly gritted their teeth, ready to attack Qin Sui.

Yang Qiong took the train back to Beijing and stayed away from the border town.

On the train, Yan Xun is holding the cotton cloth, holding the needle and thread, and sewing quickly.

Jing Fengye watched nervously from the side. Fortunately, he cleverly sewed a green cloth finger cot for Yan Xun to put on his finger. The needles usually pierce the finger cot and won't pierce the finger all at once.

The cubs are also busy with needles, thread and cotton cloth.

Yang Qiong squatted aside and watched for a while, a little envious in her heart.

The Yang family has always been a tiger father and no dog son. As a general, Yang Shuning rarely has the chance to get along with Yang Qiong, and may not even say a few words throughout the year.It was Yan Xun who gave the idea in the past two years and let the father and son act in a play, so that they had more opportunities to meet and talk.

At this moment, seeing Yan Xun and the cubs meeting head to head, talking in a low voice while busy with the needlework in hand, it was warm and cozy, Yang Qiong felt envious.

"Master Yan." Yang Qiong was a little depressed.

"Are you hungry? There is also a canteen in the carriage, there is food ready at any time, you can go to eat at any time." Yan Xun said without raising his head, "If you are not used to being on the train, you can sleep."

When the train is running, there will always be a rumbling sound in the carriage. Yan Xun and the cubs are used to it, and they still sleep at night. Those who are on the train for the first time may not be used to it.

It wasn't that Yang Qiong was hungry, he just had nothing to say, "What are you sewing, Lord Yan..."

"Dolls for the cubs." Yan Xun still didn't look up, "I thought of sewing some for the time being, and wanted to give them as souvenirs to the cubs who stayed behind in the capital."

The cotton tentacles are soft to the touch. After sewing the doll coat, stuff it with soft cotton, and then seal it, it is very beautiful.

The shapes were all sewed according to the pudgy images of the cubs, because Yan Xun remembered a little late, so he was busy on the train and basically didn't plan to rest.

The little cubs also rushed to help, and the Shaking Mountain cub still sewed the baby's doll.

The doll that belongs to the baby is the smallest, only a little bigger than a palm, and it is the most difficult to sew.Cub Shaking Mountain struggled for a long time by himself, and finally finished sewing when the train arrived in Beijing.

'Whoohoo! '

The train roared forward, rushing forward like a giant, and finally stopped slowly by the sea.

The cubs were lying on the windows looking out.

The capital is still the same, but the changes on the other side of the river can be described as earth-shaking.

Concrete buildings, huge workshops, wide concrete roads that can run six carriages at the same time, and green trees planted on the roadside, some of them are blooming, clusters, one after another, colorful and eye-catching. dizzying.

The Great Wall, like a giant dragon by the sea, has been completed, winding and huge, guarding the people behind the coast.

Large areas of salt fields and square cement pools look very spectacular.

Before the train stopped, Taoist soldiers and some men gathered on the platform.

"The wind at the seaside has a different taste." Yan Xun opened the window to let the wind blow in.

"En." The Shaker cub lay on the window and looked outside.

He saw that the pile of rocks where he hid at the beginning was no longer a pile of rocks, but a flat concrete square, clean.

The train stopped slowly, and the Mountain Shaker cub saw the guard city standing at the front.

I haven't seen him for many days, but the guard city is still the same, unsmiling and straight.Cub Shaking Mountain watched eagerly, saw Jiaqing again, and suddenly realized that his father really seemed to be a little older, and he didn't look young anymore.

'Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...' the last sound of the train, and then silence.

The technical craftsmen were the first to open the door and come out, standing at the door and waiting.

Yan Xun stepped down the steps first, followed by Jing Fengye and the cubs.As for Yeon-joon, long before the train started to slow down, he jumped out of the window and ran without anyone seeing.

"Welcome back!" Someone yelled, and everyone followed suit.

Yan Xun waved at everyone, "Everyone should do whatever they want, go get busy."

Soon most of the people dispersed, only a few remained.

The Shaking Mountain cub took a small wooden box and ran to guard the city, looking at him eagerly.

Wei Shoucheng looked down at the little cub that he hadn't seen for a long time, and it seemed to be darker again, and his head seemed to have grown a little bit, and he couldn't tell if he didn't look carefully. The clothes on his body were changed into new ones, which he had never seen before. of.

Facing Shashan's cub, Wei Shoucheng didn't know what to say, so he nodded slightly and said, "I'm back."

"En." Shaking Mountain cub hastily agreed, "I brought this back."

Wei Shoucheng bent down slightly, and took the small wooden box.

The Shaking Mountain cub ran away immediately.

Inside the wooden box were two pairs of cotton socks, two straw grasshoppers, and two silk handkerchiefs embroidered with pictures of hills.

The corners of Wei Shoucheng's lips rose, and his mood improved unknowingly.

In the distance, the Shaking Mountain cubs joined other cubs, and everyone took a carriage back to the nursery hall for construction.

The cement building of the Conservation Hall is still in its original appearance, and the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front is still blooming with small sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, which are fragrant for miles.The pudgy figures of the cubs still stood on the huge concrete square, and the huge tower clock in the distance was making a ticking, ticking sound that only the cubs could hear.

Cub Bouncy looked curiously at the clothes on Cub Huashu, and asked, "Is this the special fabric from Border Town? I think it's softer than the fabric we weave here."

"Well, the cotton in the border town grows better, and the cloth weaves is also better." The flower tree cub hurriedly said.

The little cubs who came back from the border town all brought souvenirs, including straw grasshoppers, clothes sewn with sewing machines, and small and soft dolls.

The grasshoppers and dolls made of straw were put into the glass window by the cubs. Through the glass, you can see that the cub dolls inside are all smiling, with big eyes looking out happily.

Yan Xun brought the cubs clothes he sewed by himself, and Jing Fengye brought the cubs a silk handkerchief unique to the border town.

Everyone has endless things to say and endless little secrets to share.Some cubs would talk to Yan Xun, and some cubs would communicate in private without letting Yan Xun know.

For the first three days back, the cubs wanted to be together no matter where they went, because they hadn't finished whispering.

It was rare for Yan Xun to rest, so he simply ignored everything and went to the capital with Jing Fengye.

He had been away for so long, and the people in the capital no longer discussed him and the cubs, they were talking about other things.Yan Xun pricked up his ears and listened for a while, listening very hard.

Jing Fengye said in a low voice: "They were saying that the daughter of Zuo Xiang's family was rescued a few days ago because Xie Qianshu changed his mind and wanted to divorce. Some people said that Xie Qianshu fell in love with the princess and wanted Princess Shang..."

He pressed against Yan Xun's ear, and when he was talking, the air flowed over the fluff of Yan Xun's ear, it was itchy and a little hot.

Yan Xun raised his hand and pinched his own earlobe, and said in a low voice, "There is nothing wrong with it, just listen again."

Jing Fengye nodded, his eyes focused on Yan Xun's side face, and his ears listened to the movement outside.

The people in the capital love to be lively, and they will definitely talk about something important every day, until something bigger takes its place.

"I heard that the daughter of the Lu family looks very ugly, with a snub nose, small eyes and big cheeks, and she is as fat as two hundred catties. It wasn't the daughter of the Lu family who showed up when she was engaged to the Xie family, but the daughter of the daughter."

"How did I hear that the princess looks like a fairy, and Mr. Xie fell into lovesickness after just one glance?"

"I heard that Prime Minister Zuo was so angry that he fell ill and couldn't even get out of bed."

"You don't know, do you? I heard that there is a big case in the capital."

"What case?"

"I don't know about that, it's a big case anyway."

The voices outside became more and more noisy, Jing Fengye listened for a while and had nothing else to say, then stopped talking.

The carriage shook slightly, because it should have come down from the concrete road to the dirt road.Yan Xun leaned against Jing Fengye's arms and was a little drowsy, his eyes were half closed, his lips were slightly parted, his body swayed with the carriage, as if he was about to bump into Jing Fengye's arms.

Jing Fengye was a little distracted.

Putting his hands on Yan Xun's waist, Yan Xun's face was on his chest, he was a little ecstatic thinking about the past.In the past, he often made some small movements, because he couldn't help it, and because at that time he only had joy in his heart, like a fool.

Now that he has experienced a lot and understands a lot, he is willing to endure it, and will not make a sudden attack like a brat.

"What are you thinking?" Yan Xun asked suddenly.

"I wonder if the case mentioned by those people outside is true." Jing Feng said at night.

Some people say that Xie Qianshu looks like Princess Shang because he likes princesses, and that Lu Chaoyang's legitimate daughter is ugly, which is not as credible as the real involved cases.

These young masters and sisters with big families and great careers, how can they change their marriages so easily, most of them are related to interests, like a net, which may have been tied to the body since birth, and it will not change for a lifetime.

Jing Fengye remembered the situation in the capital that Yan Xun had analyzed for him, and now he thought of it with emotion.He remembered that Yan Xun said at that time: "An accident happened to the big family, either it was the one in the palace, or it was a factional strife, or it was related to some big case."

"When I see the baby and ask, he may know." Yan Xun said.

The baby has been very busy these days. In the morning, he showed his face in the nursery school and had dinner with everyone, and then ran away, and only came back at night.
