Cub Nursery

Yan Xun hugged his brother Dan and played with it.

Baby Dan is smaller than before, about the size of an egg. Only the baby thinks that his brother is the right size. The other cubs are a little worried that Brother Dan is too small, and they are already preparing a nutritious meal for Brother Dan.

Jing Fengye also started to prepare.

Brother Dan is really too small, the stitches of the clothes sewn by ordinary sewing machines are still too big, and the fabric is not suitable.

Jing Fengye specially took the machines transformed by the cubs, and spun and weaved by himself.

The woven fabric is thin and finely textured.

Jing Fengye cut it out with her own hands again, and sewed it with needles smaller than ordinary embroidery needles, and the stitches were finer than those made by a sewing machine.

"The clothes for brother Dan? You don't need to sew them so early, do you?" Yan Xun pinched a small sleeve and looked at it, it was very delicate and soft.

"Get ready first." Jing Fengye lowered his head, and the small needle tip in his hand flew up and down quickly.

Brother Dan swayed in the nest.

Now not only the clothes for Brother Dan have been prepared, but the cubs have even prepared several small nests for Brother Dan, and even brought small quilts.

In the morning, Yan Xun would put Brother Dan on the kang, with a few small nests in front of him, and let Brother Dan choose whichever side he would use. So far, the cubs are working together. The small nest sewn with leftover materials is the most popular with the egg brother.

"Don't be so busy, I'll take Brother Dan to the cubs, and we'll go out for a walk." Yan Xun said, "I've been so busy these days, I need to take a good rest."

It happened that there were no monsters attacking the border town, so Yan Xun didn't need to worry about the rest.

"En." Jing Fengye hurriedly finished sewing the small clothes in his hands, and carefully put them away in the cabinet.

Yan Xun sent Brother Dan and Xiaowo to the cubs, and then went out with Jing Fengye.

The shadow brought by the hopper mad monster and the carnival after the victory have left, and the border town has once again returned to calm.

Yan Xun rolled out the iron donkey that he hadn't ridden for a long time, and together with Jing Fengye, rode the iron donkey along the cement road to the river.

The river was turbulent, and it turned a very urgent bend in the border town with mud and sand, and then flowed back to Daqin again.

The banks of the river have been reinforced with cement and stones, and there is a row of concrete houses along the bank, because Fan Jiang used this river to escape, and since then there has been a team of Taoist soldiers holding hands by the river.

After parking the donkey, Yan Xun dragged Jing Fengye to the shore, and sat down on a clean concrete floor.

"There is still not enough equipment to defend the city." Yan Xun said suddenly.

Jing Fengye didn't speak, and stretched out his arms to embrace Yan Xun, almost pulling him into his arms.

"If we had enough machines, we wouldn't be in such a mess." Yan Xun simply leaned against Jing Fengye's arms, raised Erlang's legs comfortably, and squinted his eyes to look at the sky.

This time, if they hadn't taken out the Guiyuan Green Ganoderma lucidum regardless of the cost, it would be impossible for the Taoist soldiers to survive so many.

"The help from the imperial court is too little. If there are enough wound medicines, we can send more doctors to help a lot." Yan Xun couldn't help but said, "Defending the city should be the responsibility of the whole Qin Dynasty, why don't they understand? ?”

"Everyone has selfishness." Jing Fengye lowered his head just enough to see Yan Xun's side face.He thought to himself that he also had selfish intentions.

Monsters are also selfish.

"Yeah, everyone has selfishness, and I have selfishness too. I didn't want the cubs to help this time, but they helped and made meritorious deeds. If someone in the capital objected or even refused to admit it, the cubs would be so sad .But I can't bear to see so many people die because of this... If there are enough defense equipment, maybe the cubs won't need help."

Until now, without the cubs and brother Dan by his side, Yan Xun finally expressed his worries.

Even though the cubs came back from the outer city wall, their lives were still the same as usual, Yan Xun didn't mention that credit, and even didn't let Yang Shuning help to claim credit.

All this is because it is uncertain how many people in the capital will oppose it, and how many people will want to obliterate this credit, just because of the identities of the cubs.

"Don't look at their mouths, but they are still looking forward to it in their hearts." Yan Xun said in a low voice, "You don't know how happy they are to become little scholars. They almost talk about it to everyone. Those who met in the capital My friends have said it over and over, and I will say it again when I get to the border town."

When it comes to little scholars on weekdays, which cub doesn't hold his head high and his chest proud.

They have gained fame as scholars by virtue of their own efforts, which is a real skill.

"They are already very happy." Jing Fengye said, "As long as the adults approve, it will be better than everything."

Those cubs are happy because of their fame as scholars, but they are even more happy because they are one step closer to Yan Xun, because after becoming a scholar, they will be able to become officials and have the opportunity to become Yan Xun's colleagues up.

"Let's wait and see, otherwise I will definitely find a way." Yan Xun muttered, "Although we don't want credit, but the credit is there. The border city camp will definitely not get involved, but the capital must show something... ...Besides, the emperor still has steel nails in his body, and those imperial doctors can't perform operations..."

It's going to get a bit off-putting later on, but that's normal.

"En." Jing Fengye nodded vigorously, "The capital will definitely express it."

Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief, he had held it in his heart for a long time, it was hard to tell the cubs, for fear that they would be stressed, but it was okay to tell Jing Fengye.

The fast-flowing river is actually nothing to look at, and there are no fish in it, but the fields on both sides of the river are very beautiful.The mulberry tree is about to lose its leaves, leaving only bare branches. Some men have already started pruning to help the mulberry tree survive the winter.

Cotton is a special variety. Although it grows slowly in winter, the fields will not be left empty. Some children are digging wild vegetables on the ridges with baskets on their shoulders.

The taste of these wild vegetables is very astringent. In the past, there was nothing to eat but wild vegetables. Many people would vomit after eating them, but now wild vegetables have become a good thing. If they are stewed with braised pork in a pot, anyone who can eat them will swallow their tongues.

"It's getting dark, let's go back." Jing Fengye took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

"Let's go." Yan Xun got up on Jing Fengye's body, he let go of his hand on purpose, and hit Jing Fengye again, and saw that his face remained unchanged, obviously he was not hit, "When will I have a chance?" With your physique..."

Yan Xun muttered a few words before getting up.

Jing Fengye got up neatly, followed behind Yan Xun, and smiled at him, "Your Excellency will get better and better."

"Excuse me." Yan Xun shook his arm at Jing Fengye, and said intentionally, "Maybe one day, I can lift a monster as big as a hopper with one hand, and its strength is boundless. Can lift a mountain!"

Jing Fengye imagined the scene for a while, then quickly shut up and didn't speak.

Back at the train station, Yan Xun went to the kitchen as if nothing had happened, and started cooking.

At this time, there was a burst of yelling outside.

The baby blew into the stove like a gust of wind, and yelled at Yan Xun, "Father, a group of people came from the capital, like bumpkins who have never seen the world, and they insisted on living in the train station. One of them was Master Ruan San, I don't know anyone else very well, but they seem to be on the side of Third Young Master Ruan."

"What's the situation?" Yan Xun took an egg and broke it, put it on the flat iron pan, and fried it carefully.

"Father, the third young master Ruan must have come here in a bad way, so go out and help." Bao Bao said anxiously, "My brothers are not here, but they will be back soon, so what if there is a conflict!"

"I'm cooking, you go out and help him arrange it." Yan Xun said casually, "Since he wants to live in the train station, let him live. Anyway, we don't lack rooms. As for other things, I guess he will It won't be clear either."

"That's fine, I'll go." The baby thought about it, and ran away in a hurry.

Da da da ran to the gate of the train station, the baby suddenly slowed down again, adjusted his clothes, and walked out with his hands behind his back, with a small face.

A group of people from the capital stood outside, all of them were ashamed, and there were some haggard horses not far away. Obviously, these people came here on horseback.

The train is still in the border town, these few days Yan Xun is going to let Brother Huan go back.

Ruan San looked resentful when he thought of the train. If the train was in the capital, it would save trouble and convenience for him to come by train.

Originally, they went to the big camp in the border city, but they just looked at the big tents inside. The difficult environment directly made them retreat again, and they came to the train station decisively, ready to move in.

It's just that the gatekeeper stopped them with a straight face and refused to let them in.

That man was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was just a gatekeeper, even Yan Xun inside was just the minister of Honglu Temple, why should he put on such a big air.Ruan San was furious, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he patiently waited for Yan Xun to come out.

After all, he is still the young master of the Ruan family, Ruan Er is the servant of the military department, and he is a miscellaneous general. Although his position is only empty, he is also a member of the military generals. Yan Xun has to come out to greet him personally.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Yan Xun come out, Ruan San was about to explode with anger, but he couldn't do anything, he still had to wait, but his expression became more and more ugly.

"Are you going to live at the train station? Did the imperial court send you here, or did the camp in the border town invite you?" Bao Bao walked to the front with his hands behind his back, and asked with a straight face.

Listening to the voice, Ruan Sanyi lowered his head and saw the baby.

He was taken aback for a moment, and the word "monster" almost came out of his throat, then he suddenly remembered that Yan Xun had a son named Xiaodan, who was exactly this big.

There are many rumors about Xiaodan in the capital. Many people know that Xiaodan worships Bei Qi as his teacher, and they also know that their master-student relationship is not good.

Ruan San was one of those who dismissed it.

"Why don't you talk?" the baby asked again.

Ruan San kept a straight face and did not speak. The people around him observed his words and hurriedly stepped forward to the baby and said, "We are the inspectors sent by the imperial court to deal with the siege of the locusts and demons. I would like to ask Master Xiaodan for your convenience." .”

Everyone has been on their way, without a good rest on the road, and the camp environment in the border town is not good, and now they have finally arrived at the tall and large crossing station, with glass windows and glass doors, and they can still see that the inside is clean and spotless, and they all want to go in Take a good rest, no one dares to offend the baby at this time.

"Oh, you guys come with me." Bao Bao said calmly, "there are so many rooms in the train station, you just need to make it clear earlier, if you have to come here, you will yell."

Co-authored or their fault?Ruan San was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.

"But you can't live in the train station for nothing. You write a note, and I will go to the household department to get the money later." Baobao seemed not to notice that Ruan San's anger rose again, and led everyone into the corridor, "Just write the note. Let me show you the room first..."

The corner in front is the room, which has a wooden floor, glass windows, complete tables and chairs, clean quilts and mattresses on the bed, even the pillows are extremely soft, and there are glass-covered oil lamps on the table.

Such a clean house is better than the houses in everyone's house, and everyone wants to go in and rest immediately.

The baby didn't let these people in, but led everyone to move forward, "The stairs here lead to the dining hall, you can go there after eating, and there is also a bathroom, each of which is a small room for each person." , I won’t let you in.”

The train station is much better than the camp in the border town. Not to mention taking a bath, eating in the camp in the border town is a problem. Those Taoist soldiers know how to practice, and they are all like beasts. reason?

If you don't write a note, you can't go to the room to rest. Everyone can only write a note first and show it to the baby before entering the room.

After settling these people down, Bao Bao ran back to Yan Xun with a bunch of notes in his arms, and said, "I asked them to write the notes, and I asked Thirteen to get the money. They might as well come to visit relatives, each one knows how to enjoy, I Look at the quilts in the room have to be scrapped."

"Hey, Xiaodan is doing very well." Yan Xun greeted, "Come and eat quickly, don't worry about them."

The dining table was already filled with food, and the cubs were all here, waiting for the baby to start.

After dinner, Yan Xun talked about this matter, "It must be the imperial court's intention that they can come to the border town, but since they can come out of the camp, it means that they have a normal relationship with the camp..."

The person who contacted again was Ruan San, and the others were mainly Ruan San. It was obvious that the person in charge this time was Ruan San.

Ruan Er is the servant of the Ministry of War, and Ruan San is a miscellaneous general. At this moment, he came to the border town and was in charge of the aftermath of the siege of the scorpion.

When these analyzes were said one by one, the faces of the cubs were all wrinkled into buns, and the baby even said: "I don't think he is a good person. He even dislikes the bad environment of the camp. Will they be greedy for credit? Daddy, I'm a little worried……"

The military exploits of the Taoist soldiers are all recorded by meritorious servicemen, and those meritorious servicemen have basically been accepted by Yang Shuning, and the rest are the emperor's confidantes, so there is no need to worry about that.

It's just that the court sent these people again, which is intriguing.

It's hard to say whether the imperial court doubted the authenticity of the frontier city battle report or whether it was to share the credit, and Ruan San and the others had their own thoughts.

"Soldiers come and block." Yan Xun made a final decision.

At this time, the third young master Ruan was standing comfortably in the small room, facing the hot water.

I don't know how this train station is designed. There is a weird-looking shower head on the wall that looks like a lotus pod. As soon as you turn on the switch, hot water will spray out. It is very comfortable to take a shower, and there is also excellent soap, which is better than that in the capital city. The most expensive soap ever sold works just fine.

After taking a bath and putting on new clothes, Master Ruan San was in a much better mood.

There was no time to rest, and it was time for the dining hall to open.

"Third young master, let's go eat." Xiao Jia came running to knock on the door.

"En." Ruan San nodded reservedly.

This Xiaojia is just a low-level official. I don’t know how he had the opportunity to follow him this time, but he is very discerning. He helped him a lot along the way. Ruan San treated him pretty well.

We went to the canteen together, and Xiaojia offered to help with cooking.

There are pots of vegetables in big pots, bean sprouts, tofu, braised pork, and unknown wild vegetables. They look oily, which is a bit unacceptable to the rich young master Ruan San.

The steamed buns are not made of fine white flour.

But the steamed buns taste very fragrant, and I don’t know how to make them. They are softer and more delicious than steamed buns made from fine noodles.

Xiaojia took a big steamed bun and ate vegetables without hesitation. They had suffered a lot on the road, and now they had hot meals and hot dishes, so how could they have so many scruples.However, the taste was beyond Xiaojia's expectation after the entrance, it was really delicious!

Ruan San originally wanted to be reserved, but who knew that he lost [-]% of the food just by looking at the dishes, so he didn't dare to be reserved anymore, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks.

Looking at the ordinary cauldron dishes, the taste is surprisingly good.

After eating, they came back and lay down on the soft bedding, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning after dinner, Yan Xun said, "Go and study after you have eaten."

"There are too few magnets, and there are always not enough." Thunder Cub said, "My lord, we need more magnets."

"We still have to find a way." Yan Xun was also helpless.

With Yan Xun's ability now, and with the help of Wang Zhen'er, Pei Yu'er and other top giants, it is not difficult to find natural magnets, but even so, he almost searched the entire Daqin, and only found a little bit, so he took Or someone picked it up by accident, there is no magnetite at all.

Either Daqin didn't have magnetite, or it did, and they couldn't find it.

And electricity and magnetism will never be separated, and there are not enough materials now, even the cubs can only take their time.

"Take your time." Yan Xun said, "The city crossbow should also be remodeled, the city crossbow on the outer city wall is a little behind."

"Can they all be changed into cannons?" asked the war rabbit cub.

"The city crossbow has been used for so many years, it must be useful for the reason of the city crossbow, and some can be dismantled." Yan Xun said, "Let's keep a few."

"En." The war rabbit cub nodded.

"Father, what about me?" The baby gnawed on an egg, and the little brother in the nest next to him also shook it.

The progress of the baby's knowledge is different from that of the cubs. The cubs are Thunder cubs and they are divided into one wave. I'm not a young scholar, but I have learned almost the same knowledge, and I will wait for the exam next year.

And Bao Bao basically learned from Bei Qi, and Yan Xun didn't let him learn a lot, he just took his time, so it's definitely not appropriate to go with the brothers at this time.

As for Brother Egg...he is still an egg.

"Brother with eggs." Yan Xun said.

"Okay." The baby nodded immediately.

Brother Dan followed suit.

After everything was arranged, the cubs dispersed after eating. Yan Xun saw that Jing Fengye took the needle and began to sew clothes for Brother Dan. nest.

Ruan San ate breakfast and took people to the camp in the border town.

In the big tent, the faces of the generals were not very good-looking.

Ruan San was not afraid of these generals. He brought out the imperial decree and said arrogantly: "I still don't understand how to repel the hopper maniac demon. Please tell me again. I think the construction of the border city is very good, and the household department is still needed." Appropriate money and food?"

Although the camp in the border town is still the same, there are cement roads everywhere in the border town, and the fields look like a bumper harvest, not to mention there are huge workshops and a huge train station.

Many people's houses have been refurbished, the cement used, and many people's clothes have been replaced with new ones.

Even though the battle report had already been sent, the court still sent these people. How could the general present be happy?

Yang Shuning's expression changed, and after a long time, he squeezed out a few words, "If you want to know anything, just ask."

"How many waves of the Grasshopper Maniac Demon have come, and how many have come?"

"How did you kill them, how many were killed, and how many were killed?"

"Where are the bones?"

"We're going to do a bone test."

"The Grasshopper Maniac is really that big? Didn't he lie to us?"

The hopper maniac monster written in the battle report is almost like a mountain, and there are even more exaggerated ones that are bigger than the mountain.

Didn't it mean that the hopper maniac demon is not a big monster, but comparable to a big monster, why is it so big.

These people have never seen the leech maniac monster, and the limited monsters they have seen are corpses transported back from the border town. They don't know how ridiculous the questions they ask at this time, but they think they are plausible.

Several generals almost laughed angrily.

The bones of the Grasshopper Maniac Demon can not only be polished into weapons, but also be used to make house beams and keels, and even be polished into ornaments, chopsticks and other utensils.In the past years, the border town suffered heavy losses, and many bones of the hopper mad monster would be sent to the capital, so that the money and food in the capital would come faster.

However, the situation is different this year. Although there were losses in the border towns, they were not that big. Although there were a lot of hoppers and disaster monsters, some of them were given to Yan Xun, and some of them were divided by Yang Shuning. Store it up and not move it casually.

These people didn't do anything, and they wanted to move these trophies with their mouths.

Really, absurdly righteous, absurdly whimsical.

"Everyone, why don't you go to the outer city wall first." Yang Shuning said with a straight face, "Go to the outer city wall first to see the traces outside, and then let's look at other things."

"Please!"

The generals immediately moved out of the way, and Qin Sui also helped to lift the curtain of the big tent to make it easier for them to go out.

The civil servants who spoke just now were suddenly embarrassed. The reason why they were so confident was because they saw the big camp in the border town demanding them, otherwise they would lose a lot of credit for the memorial, but they didn't expect Yang Shuning to be so stubborn. Please them as usual.

Several people looked at each other for a moment, waiting for Ruan San to speak.

"General Ruan, you are a miscellaneous general, don't you dare to go to the outer city wall?" Before Ruan San could speak, Yang Shuning blocked his words back.

Ruan San couldn't refuse, so he could only nod with a livid face.

"Go!" Yang Shuning shouted.

There were Taoist soldiers outside preparing their horses, and Ruan San's legs felt a little weak when he saw it.

The war horses in the border town are different from those in the capital city. These war horses are taller, calm and ferocious, and they are not easy to control.

But Yang Shuning and the others pushed out the iron donkey, turned over and stepped on it gracefully.

Ruan San didn't know how to ride an iron donkey, and neither could the others, so he could only secretly hate Yang Shuning for not giving them face.The war horses didn't know what to do, but all of a sudden they snorted, and the civil servants almost fell down in fright.
