Cub Nursery

With a chubby face, the black and white cub opened another wooden barrel and brought out a small wooden bowl.

The sweet and thick porridge, rice grains, vegetable leaves, and shredded pork have all been boiled.The fragrance rushed over, and Xiao Shitou kept swallowing, feeling that he was even more hungry, "Little Shitou, my name is Xiaoshitou."

"Give him a drink." Yan Xun put away the white flour steamed buns.

The black and white cub handed over the small wooden bowl, Little Shitou didn't care about the monster at all, his eyes were full of the wooden bowl, he drank it voraciously, and licked it clean.

There are also many small wooden bowls in the barrel, which are full of this delicious porridge that can make people swallow their tongues, and there are big steamed buns, which can be seen clearly by small stones.

"Here you are." The flower tree cub brought over a steamed bun, with a soft voice, "You have to take small bites, otherwise you will get sick if you eat for a long time without being hungry."

Little Shitou was dumbfounded, took the big steamed bun, ate it in small mouthfuls, and tears fell down while eating.

It was the first time he ate such a delicious thing since he grew up.

"My lord." The flower tree cub ran over and grabbed Yan Xun's clothes, "What should he do?"

The children on the other side of the river were still looking at this side. They saw that the little stone had not been beaten, and even drank the porridge and ate the big steamed buns. desire.

"My lord." Xiao Shitou knelt in front of Yan Xun, kowtowed, "I beg my lord, don't send me back, I beg my lord. Xiao Shitou is willing to serve my lord like an ox or a horse, and let Xiao Shitou do whatever... ..."

Yan Xun stood still.

The flower tree cub looked around, raised his face to look at Yan Xun, saw him nod his head, then walked to the small stone, and said crisply, "Are you willing to stay here, are you not afraid of us? We It's a monster."

The wooden barrel was closed again, but the smell was still there, but it became clearer. Xiaoshi sucked his nose hard, "My lord, I'm not afraid of them, I'm not afraid."

"Very good, tell me now..." Yan Xun laughed now, squatting in front of the little stone and asking in a low voice.

All the children on the other side of the river could smell the smell of food. They looked at the small stones and then at the big wooden barrels, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.

"You go and kill those monsters, and wait until the other side of the river to eat and drink spicy food!" The meaty man looked around and shouted frantically.

The children didn't move at all, eating hot food and drinking spicy food, how can seeing is believing.

"Good boy." Yan Xun touched Xiao Shishi's head, stood up abruptly, looked sharply at the other side of the river, and shouted, "You meaty man, you are guilty! Continue to build the bridge. I want to punish the meaty man. Others People wait obediently, and everyone eats."

"Yes, my lord!" The strong men responded solemnly, and immediately began to work.

Little by little eyes from the bridge, the black and white cub stood next to Yan Xun again, the piers of the bridge were built little by little, like a colossus finally crossed the big river and completed the last step.

The black and tattered planks brought by the meat man were lifted and thrown across the river.

Yan Xun stepped forward step by step, the eyes of the children on the other side of the river became brighter and brighter, and the look of the meaty man became more and more flustered, he kept backing away, even kicked and beat these children, but the children did not move.

They were all hungry, and had already forgotten the smell of food. Now, watching Yan Xun lead the strong men forward, instead of being afraid, they looked forward to the sweet smell.

"They won't let you go, you're crazy!" the fleshy man yelled frantically, "People on the other side of the river don't look down on us at all, why would they feed us?"

"You, you are talking nonsense!" Xiao Shitou rushed forward, shaking the remaining half of the steamed bun that he didn't want to eat, "They gave me something to eat!"

The eyes of the children were instantly attracted by half of the steamed buns, which were completely cold and dirty with small stones.

"I'll give it to you to eat." Little Shitou tore off a small steamed bun and gave it to the child closest to him. The child hurriedly squeezed it and put it in his mouth, chewing carefully, savoring the indescribable sweetness.

Most of the steamed buns were divided, each child took a bite, and there happened to be nothing left.

"My lord said, let's go back and tell everyone that the river bank is going to be developed." Little Shitou said in a low voice, "But only our kind can be developed, and meaty people can't do it. They will be arrested, and your lord will punish them. "

"Little Stone, what is development?"

"I don't know, but for development, there is porridge to drink, steamed buns to eat, and clothes to wear." Xiao Shitou whispered.

"Will that adult lie to us?"

The children whispered, and watched helplessly that the fleshy man who hadn't run far was caught by the strong man.They looked at each other, and they scattered, and ran to tell everyone.

In any case, it is their lifelong hope to fill their stomachs.

The fleshy man was tied up and stuffed with a rag in his mouth.Yan Xun didn't question him immediately, and the men just kept looking at him, no matter how the fleshy man struggled, they absolutely didn't ask questions.

On the other side of the river is the bustling capital city. Although you can’t see it clearly on this side of the river, old men always say that the capital city on the other side of the river is full of gold. There are the most beautiful brothers, the most talented men, and the most Powerful Taoist.

There are only dilapidated and low thatched huts on this side of the river. The elder brother and the man are all skinny, and their voices are hoarse.

The little stone ran all the way, ran outside a thatched hut that was about to collapse, and shouted excitedly, "Father, dad. I saw an immortal. Dad, didn't you say that the immortal can turn stones into gold and save the suffering?"

"Little stone?" The brother with many wrinkles on his face struggled to get up, covering his mouth and coughing.

"Father, come with me quickly, the adult said he will give us delicious food." Little Shitou felt that he had inexhaustible strength, so he simply picked up his back and ran out.

Run all the way to the bridgehead, the cement road on the bridge extends forward.

It is as smooth as a whole stone, and there are many wooden barrels placed on it.

"Father, those wooden barrels are full of food." Little Shitou whispered, "My lord is over there."

Yan Xun was wearing a big cloak, holding Tang Pozi in his hand, his face was extremely small, he was really handsome.Behind him stood a group of cubs, standing so brightly at this moment, but no one was hostile... They all stared at the barrel.

"Since everyone is here, let me just say a few words." Yan Xun coughed and said, "I want to build a cement road starting from the bridgehead. You should divide into groups, and whichever group will finish first , whichever group comes to pick up the food, and the one who finishes at the end may not have any food!"

"Father, did you hear that? I just said there is food." Little Shitou said happily.

People who got acquainted soon made up a dozen, and they were just digging the foundation. They didn't have hoes, so they used stones, sticks, and some directly used their hands.Xiao Shitou felt that he seemed to have infinite strength, so he asked his father to rest beside him and do the work of two people by himself.

After finishing the work, the little stone happily passed by.

The flower tree cub glanced at the little stone, then at his father, and took out two big steamed buns and two bowls of porridge, "After finishing the porridge, wash the bowls and bring them here. If you take the bowls away, there will be no work next time. I haven't eaten any more."

"Understood." Little Stone agreed loudly.

The porridge in the wooden bowl is full, and the steamed buns are hot.

Xiao Shitou drank the porridge and began to gnaw on the steamed buns. After eating half of the buns, he tasted a sweet taste. He looked down and found that there was sugar inside, no wonder it was so sweet.

The concrete road extended forward for a while, and by the river, Yan Xun built another building with several large characters on it: Construction of Conservation Hall.

Little Shitou could not read, but he firmly memorized the appearance of the five characters on the concrete building, read it several times a day, and felt full of energy every day.

The adult said that if he worked hard enough and performed well, he would have the opportunity to live in that concrete building.

People on this side of the river work like crazy every day. They never thought that as long as they work hard, they can get good enough rewards.It is no longer necessary to drink water, eat grass leaves, and tree roots when you are hungry every day. As long as you are willing to work, you can have food.

Many people would go out to see the building by the river every morning when they woke up. If they were not sure how many times, it would be as if they were daydreaming these days.

The same is true for Li Mushi.

He watched with his own eyes that the three-story concrete building rose from the ground. If it weren't for the limited manpower, it could have been built even higher.

For a craftsman, being able to build such a building is already at an extremely top level.Li Mushi almost forgot to sleep and eat while watching the building change day by day. He saw a lot and learned a lot.

"Start with this building, extend along this cement road, and build more buildings. It will be up to you at that time." Yan Xun took out the blueprint and said to Li Mushi and the others.

"My lord, please don't worry." Li Mushi knew in his heart that this was an opportunity given by Yan Xun, and it was also a test. If they succeed, then they will be able to be alone in the future, which is more than just glory.

Jing Fengye strode towards Yan Xun and whispered something in Yan Xun's ear.

"Go and have a look." Yan Xun hurried out.

There are two rooms in the Conservation Hall without windows, and even the doors are thick iron doors.

The meaty men they caught at first were locked inside, and these days, Little Stone and the others have captured some more men one after another, and they are all locked in these two rooms.

Before I got close to kicking the door, I could hear shouts from inside, which sounded desperate.

"My lord, the meaty man has recruited." Jing Fengye said in a low voice.

"En, open the door." Yan Xun nodded.

The iron door opened slowly, and a strange smell wafted out. With the faint light, the people inside all hurriedly looked at the door, and the meaty man struggled and said, "Let me go, let me go, please. "

"Let you go?" Yan Xun couldn't help laughing, "Should I let you go out and eat people?"

"No, I don't." The fleshy man looked at Feng Ye in his glasses, his body trembled violently, and he changed his words, "Let me go, I won't...won't..."

Yan Xun frowned, he couldn't help but vomit when he thought of Jing Fengye telling him that this fleshy man smelled like eating human flesh.

Most people on the other side of the river are skinny and skinny. There are too few fields to cultivate, the place is small, and there are many people. How can it be possible to eat as fat as a meat man, unless it is eating human flesh.

At that time, Yan Xun made a decision in private, instead of reporting to the officials, he directly arrested the meaty man and others.

"Some monsters cannibalize people and are hated by everyone, and the Taoist soldiers can only kill them one after another." Yan Xun said calmly, "And you, what is the difference between you and a monster that eats people?"

"No, I was forced. If I don't eat... I can only starve to death." The meat man shouted in horror, "You don't know, many people starve to death every night because of filling their stomachs... I didn't kill anyone , they are already dead."

"You are already crazy." Yan Xun said, "Bring the knife."

"My lord!" Jing Fengye was startled.

Yan Xun looked left and right, picked up a steel knife himself, strode over, and chopped down hard without blinking.The fleshy man who was still yelling just now rolled his head to the ground, his eyes still full of disbelief.

Unable to suppress the nausea in his chest, Yan Xun hurriedly covered his mouth, the blood splashed on his hand wiped his face, sticky and bloody.

"Your hands should never be stained with human blood, let me do it." Yan Xun stepped forward and cut open the fleshy man's stomach, pulling out many undigested fingers and bones, "Carry it out!"

It was so cold that the body was quickly frozen into ice when it was carried outside, but the inside was still clearly visible.

These people are notoriously evil, and there is no sympathy on this side of the river, because they are the ones who would have been eaten.

"Take these corpses and go back." Yan Xun's face was pale, he hadn't touched a drop of water all day, his lips were chapped and bleeding, and he still couldn't drink a drop of water.

The little cub came over with hot tea, and Jing Fengye hurried to take it.

Yan Xun turned around and covered his mouth and retched, "No, take it away."

"My lord." Jing Fengye knelt on one knee.

"My lord." The cubs knelt down crying, looking at Yan Xun anxiously.

Yan Xun smiled wryly, he really couldn't eat or drink, as soon as he thought of meaty guys and others being worse than monsters, Yan Xun felt a fire in his chest.

He was afraid that after reporting to the officials, these people would be manipulated by the people in the territory of Yanhong River to compete with Yan Xun for power, so he would not die, so he decided to strike first.

The smell of blood filled his surroundings, and Yan Xun felt that he was also contaminated with evil spirits that could not be washed away.

Yan Xun wiped his lower lip, his hands were covered with blood, his eyes were almost blackened, and he wanted to retch again.

"My lord." Jing Fengye rushed over to hug Yan Xun, and said softly, "I'm sorry, my lord." As he spoke, his lips pressed down.

Chapped lips don't bleed quickly and wounds heal.Jing Fengye took a look, and simply took a sip of hot tea and crossed over, Yan Xun didn't spit it out, and his complexion improved a lot.

"Master Jing is amazing." The little cubs were all happy.

"It's not too late, let's go." Yan Xun said, and said to Sun Yuanbao and others, "You help me carry these things back and go home. You shouldn't be troubled at this time."

Sun Yuanbao's eyes widened with anger, no matter how simple and honest he was, he was angry, "Sir, this is not a burden, if I knew about them, I would have hacked these beasts to death!"

"Thank you everyone." Yan Xun cupped his fists.

Nowadays, no one in the capital dares to go to the other side of the river, but there are many people who come to visit the bridge building of Baoyutang from time to time.Especially those who advocated massacring all the criminals on the other side of the river wished they could just stand by the river and see when the emperor would send Taoist soldiers over.

The men carried the frozen bodies across the bridge, uncovered and visible to anyone.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The news spread throughout the capital in less than half an hour, even the emperor in the palace had heard about it, but the rumors were ambiguous.Did the group of cubs finally make a move and kill someone, or was it someone else?

For this reason, the emperor restrained himself while being excited, and let Du Xuanfeng enter the palace.

At this time, Du Qinsheng heard the news, ran out from the cement workshop, and happened to stop Yan Xun at the bridge building of the Conservation Hall, "My lord, are you crazy? How did you get killed?"

"They all committed suicide in fear of crime." Yan Xun looked far away, "These people survived by cannibalism. After seeing me, they confessed their crimes, cut open their stomachs and showed me, and then took their own heads. Cut it off. I'm about to face the holy..."

"Crazy, crazy." Du Qinsheng glanced at the corpse, not daring to take a second look, "We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. My father is going to enter the palace. If you have anything to say, I will go back right away." Tell my dad."

"Tell me the truth." Yan Xun said with a calm expression.

After walking for a while, Si Ping rushed out, didn't say anything, just cupped his hands at Yan Xun to show his attitude.

Qin Shisan stood far away, Yan Xun shook his head slightly at him, telling him to go back.

Accompanied by the ringing of bells and ding ling ding ling along the way, the little buddies rode iron donkeys roaring past, and slid to a stop in front of Yan Xun.With a straight face, Wang Zhen'er cupped his hands at Yan Xun, "My lord, what are you doing here?"

"A few committed suicide out of fear of crime, I will go to the saint to explain the matter." Yan Xun said with a smile.

"It turned out that he committed suicide in fear of crime." Pei Yu'er stretched her neck and glanced, "Then let's go, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it, adults will take care of it."

The little buddies rode on the iron donkey and roared away.

Qin Liu ran over with a carriage and cupped his hands at Yan Xun, "My lord, will it go well?"

"Of course they can." Yan Xun smiled, "They themselves are guilty, and they should commit suicide in fear of crime."

"That's good." Qin Liu took the carriage and turned a corner.

The carriage was rickety, and there were all noble children in it. Hearing Yan Xun's words, they were all relieved, talking and laughing.

Little You'er and a group of children stood by the side of the road, watching Yan Xun walk slowly; Zhang Si dragged Mrs. Zhang with a cold face, and watched Yan Xun leave.

Yan Xun walked in the front, followed by Jing Fengye, and the rare cubs who appeared together.They moved forward slowly, carrying the corpses that had been cut open and frozen into ice.

"My lord." Shi Yuanshou jumped out.

"Nothing." Yan Xun smiled and shook his head, telling Shi Yuanshou to go back.

All the people in the capital were looking at Yan Xun, people in restaurants, teahouses, inns, pawns and peddlers on the street, nobles and rich families, all looking at Yan Xun and these little cubs.

Suddenly, people on both sides of the street heard someone singing a poem.

I don't know who suddenly said: "It's Song Feiliang's words, it's Song Feiliang's words."

"What did you sing?" someone asked.

"Singing about the Taoist soldiers and generals on the battlefield!"

People listened to Song Feiliang's popular words and looked at the body behind Yan Xun.There were undigested fingers and toes in the stomachs of those corpses, and even the leg bones of some children, all of which were full of meat, not a single grain of grass or grain.

Once upon a time, people also saw the generals returning in triumph, bringing back monsters like hills, and inside the dissected stomachs were the fingers, toes, and arms of these people...

"Bold, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Lord Yan, are you trying to rebel?" Suddenly a young man with red lips and white teeth jumped out and said drunkenly.

Another stone stirred up waves, this time it was a stinky stone.
