Cub Nursery

Cub Thunder was well dressed, but he didn't feel out of place when he came here with firewood, as if he was used to doing this kind of thing.

"There are still some dried vegetables in the house." Gouwei said, he took out an earthen pot, grabbed a handful of dried vegetables and threw them into the water to soak, "Where are there fresh vegetables in the city now, that is, grass leaves and tree leaves. , They were all eaten up. I heard that some old people still plan to dig up tree roots and find grass roots to eat, so as to fill their stomachs.”

But even so, the largest number of houses in the huge county are still houses, there are no fields, only a few scattered trees, and some weeds on the roadside.

The population density of the county seat is much greater than that of the villages below, even if you want to eat tree roots and grass roots, you may not have them.

Sun-dried vegetables can be stored for a long time if they are stored properly. This was stored by the dog's tail before, but it has become a rarity now, and I am reluctant to take it out to eat.

The Thunder Cub glanced at the dried vegetables and said, "We also have storage."

But it’s not because there is no food, but some dried vegetables taste good, especially if you get a piece of suet, fry the oil, chop up the fat residue and make buns with soaked dried vegetables, don’t mention the taste, little cubs It's all about wanting to eat so much that you can't eat it.

It's just that although the steamed stuffed bun tastes good, Cub Thunder knows that he can't say such a thing now, if he does, Gouwei will think too much.

So he just mentioned dried vegetables.

The dog's tail looked at the Thunder Cub strangely, "I see that you are also from a wealthy family, especially that master, so why do you still come to Qiyuan County? You shouldn’t come to this place, it’s a place that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, and those who are capable have left long ago.”

"Don't look at me jumping around in the city like this, but I'm still not capable. If there is a way, I will leave here with my father and won't stay."

As he was talking, Gouwei felt that Thunder Cub was very strange. He didn't seem like a young man who didn't know the sufferings of the world, but his actions showed that he was completely different from the people he was used to seeing, and Thunder Cub's official words were very good. , better than what the adults in the city said.

Cub Thunder took a piece of wood, sat on one side by himself, and patted the other side for Cub Claw to sit on.

The little cub looked at the flickering fire in the stove, and said calmly: "This is the place to come."

If you don't come, you don't know, Daqin still has such a place, I'm afraid the emperor and the adults in the capital don't know that Qiyuan County has become like this.

"You are so rich, it's not a good place to go, you have to come to Qiyuan County." The dog's tail is kind, "You still listen to my advice and tell your master that this place is a place of right and wrong. Don't meddle in your leisure time."

Gouwei felt that Yan Xun must not understand anything and came here to suffer.

The sharp claw cub helped to break apart the wood and handed it to the dog's tail, "This matter is very complicated to say. But if my adults knew that Qiyuan County was like this, they would definitely not sit idly by. Do you think this is A place of right and wrong, wouldn’t it be enough to turn this place into a place of right and wrong?”

"Who has such a great ability?" Gouwei didn't believe it. "I heard from the old man that Qiyuan County has been like this for many years, but it's just become more ruthless these years."

"I don't know who has such a great ability." The sharp claw cub thought in his heart that his master must have such ability, but in front of the dog's tail that he is not very familiar with, he did not speak nonsense, but asked the truth, " Whether it works or not, you have to try."

Having said that, Gouwei is a little bit convinced.

He has experienced the loss of not having money, and he always feels that as long as he has enough money, he can definitely do many things, including changing Qiyuan County.

The water boiled.

**The cub helped to wash the dishes, and the bouncing cub helped to wash the dried vegetables, cut them into strips, and mixed them with some salt.

Cub Thunder took out a can of braised pork and a can of braised chicken drumsticks again like a magic trick.

Yan Xun put out the white flour steamed buns and mixed flour steamed buns he bought.

"My father is coming back soon." The dog's tail looked at the opened iron box full of meat, and felt a little embarrassed immediately, but couldn't help swallowing.

He hadn't eaten such delicious meat for a long, long time.Don't even eat it, just have never seen it.

I wanted to refuse Yan Xun's good things, but I was so hungry that I couldn't open my mouth like a dog's tail, and I felt that I was reluctantly helping Yan Xun no matter what, and this meal was still good. If it is useful, the big deal is to find an opportunity to repay it later.

Not long after, the courtyard door opened and quickly closed again.

"Dog's tail!" Seeing the fire in the stove, Ma Lian knew that his son was back, so he frowned and said, "Don't go out these days, I'll just go out and get food. Don't talk to me, it's not now It's the same time as before..."

The horse-faced man was exhausted, pale, and his lips were almost white. He closed his eyes, thinking about those experiences, feeling a little desperate for the current situation of the county.

"Father." Gouwei ran out and said in a low voice, "We have a distinguished guest at our house, they are here to look for dad, let's go into the house and tell."

"What?" The horse stared blankly, pushed away the dog's tail, and rushed into the house.

Seeing Jing Fengye's appearance clearly, and seeing the four cubs sitting obediently, Ma Lian felt dizzy in front of his eyes. He was really afraid of something. He was still thinking about his memories, and finally the family came monster.

"The needles on your body haven't been removed yet." Yan Xun cupped his hands at the horse's face and said with a smile.

Ma's face froze for a moment, and just about to deny it, he suddenly remembered that his hands didn't feel pain at that time, and now that his hands were sprinkled with wound medicine, he didn't feel pain, just like everyone else, but like everyone else no the same.

At that time, he wondered if something happened. Now it seems that the young master should have helped him secretly.

Since I helped myself, no matter what the purpose is, I have to thank him, so Ma Lian immediately cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Thank you."

"It's just a little effort." Yan Xun waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Come here, I'll help you take out the needle. This kind of needle is as thin as a cow's hair, and others can't find it if you change it, but it won't hurt you. The smallest, it is only used to seal the acupuncture points..."

Ma Lian hurried forward.

At this moment, he already figured it out. If the other party wanted to harm him, he would have done it long ago. He would never wait until now. And there are so many steamed buns and meat on the table in his house. I am afraid that the other party brought them, and they will give them to him. With the fine needle, he still has nothing to tweak, he just chooses to trust the other party.

Yan Xun opened the umbrella mechanism and took out the fine needle for Malian. Seeing that his face remained unchanged, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that the cleverness of the dog's tail is inherited from Malian.

"I know you have a lot of questions, so I'll say it now, just listen..." Yan Xun said before Ma Lian could ask.

Horse face nodded.

"Eating." Yan Xun said immediately, "Now I don't care about eating and sleeping, let's talk about the situation while eating..."

Jing Fengye grabbed a mixed-faced steamed bun and handed it to Yan Xun, and took a white-faced steamed bun for himself.He knew that Yan Xun prefers to eat steamed buns with mixed noodles, sometimes he can eat a whole bun if he has a good appetite, but usually he only eats half a bun with white noodles.

On the other side, Cub Thunder and Cub Bobo stretched out their paws at the same time, took white flour steamed buns and miscellaneous flour steamed buns respectively and handed them to Dogtail and Horse Face, and took white flour steamed buns by themselves.

The Claw Cub and the Bouncing Cub took the Zamian Mantou, and they also like to eat Zamian Mantou. When they were in the nursery school, the Zamian Mantou was mixed with some sweet and sour fruits, and sometimes there were Filling, which almost all pups love.

Gouwei saw that the cub and Yan Xun had started to eat, so he quickly picked up the chopsticks.

He had been hungry for a long time, and now he was very hungry. He ate one steamed bun in two or three mouthfuls, and then another. It was not until he had eaten three steamed buns that he felt full, so he squeezed the first steamed bun in his hand. Four steamed buns, eat in small bites.

Ma Lian also ate several steamed buns while listening to Yan Xun's words.

Yan Xun didn't say anything except that he came directly from Yaoguo to Shangyuan Village, Qiyuan County, and almost everything else, including the General Dog and Uncle Gouwa in Shangyuan Village, the current county magistrate Jia Qiugu, and the people outside Besiege the city without attacking it.

Finally, Yan Xun talked about the house of the former county magistrate, "It's very complicated inside. My youngest son broke into it and caused trouble, so I wanted to go in and check it out. I didn't want to see you being embarrassed by a few people, so I made a move." .”

"Thank you." Ma Lian was a little shocked at the moment.

Although Yan Xun said lightly about the situation outside the city, Ma Lian has always lived in the three religions, knowing that some people look weak, but they are definitely not kind, and once they are given a chance, they will be more evil than some wicked people.

But now the two groups of people outside can form a short-term peace, he thinks it is impossible, and he thinks it seems possible with Yan Xun's intervention.

If the leader outside thinks this is Yan Xun, then this good-looking little brother with a monster in front of him is really a remarkable person.

"I don't know how I got caught, but I suddenly woke up when I got inside, thinking that the dog's tail was still dangling outside." Since Yan Xun didn't hide it from him, Ma Lian naturally wouldn't hide it from Yan Xun, "Later ...Going into a room, I felt dizzy as soon as I entered. I only smelled an unpleasant smell of blood and a foul stench. It seemed that there was a strong wind blowing around, and I couldn't open my eyes. Then I came out... "

When he got outside, the horse's face was like everyone else's, with the powder on his hands.

The ropes binding the hands and feet were loosened, and the others scattered in a daze, and Ma Lian followed their example, and scattered in a daze.

But not long after walking, Ma Lian stepped into an alley, thinking about going home, but met the leader.

"Brother, I know you have a lot of thoughts in your heart, but what's the use of having thoughts? The most important thing now is to survive." The leading man whispered, "Brother listen to my advice, just pretend that you don't know anything. I don’t remember anything, and I will live my life as usual from now on.”

The others are all so muddled, if he jumps out, he will definitely be targeted by those people.

Thinking of the girl who pierced the palm of her hand with the hairpin without changing her face, the blood was glistening, and the horse's face shivered.

"If you really want to do something, just bear with it and talk about it in this damn place." The leader finally said this.

Ma Lian knew it was for his own good, if he yelled recklessly, he would be the one who died in the end, so he solemnly bowed his hands to the leader, and wandered outside for a long time to make sure that he was not being followed before returning home.

It was precisely because of this that he told the dog's tail as soon as he entered the door that he would not be allowed to go out again.

Yan Xun took the dried vegetables, ate a small steamed bun with mixed noodles, and drank a bowl of water. Just as Ma Lian finished speaking, he asked, "How many people like this are there in the city?"

Ma's expression changed, "About ten percent."

"A long time ago, I still remember that some people I met were very lively and often quarreled over trivial matters, but now that I think about it, I haven't heard such a voice for a long time. Almost all of them are muddled, and they still look alive people, but they are different from living people.”

"I'm not even sure if the dog's tail has been there, and how many times I've been there."

"Every time someone curses on the street, I used to feel impatient, but now that I think about it..."

There are still people who are cursing, which means that they are at least sober.

And behind the scenes, how many people are muddle-headed, people who seem to be alive, but in fact are no different from dead.

Ma Lian just wanted to understand this, so his face turned ugly. He even felt that the people in the county town were slowly turning into monsters, and he himself might also be slowly turning into monsters, and the few monster cubs around Yan Xun, personally He has a lively expression and secretly grimaces, making him look like a living person.

"Father." The dog's tail turned pale.

He didn't know these things at all before, and he didn't even know that such a thing happened in the city.

He couldn't help but look down at his hands, almost unsure whether he was human or not.

"Stretch out your hand, I'll feel the pulse." Yan Xun said.

Ma Lian reached out first.

Yan Xun took his pulse and said after a while: "I lost some flesh and blood, and my memory is somewhat lost, but it shouldn't affect anything. Wait for Xiaohua to come back, let him take a closer look, and drink some medicinal juice to regulate it. It shouldn't be a big deal." hinder."

Ma Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled the arm of the dog's tail over.

"It's a little thin, but it's not a serious problem." Yan Xun said, and he was relieved.

He was really afraid that the entire county would fall. If there was no one sober and everyone was in a daze, then how would Qiyuan County be governed by then.

But I can't see the specifics just by feeling the pulse, Yan Xun is not so free, and the flower tree cubs have to come.

"Do you want to go out of the city?" Yan Xun thought for a while, "It's very unsafe for you to stay in the city. If I go to that place next time, I can't guarantee that I will definitely be in the city."

"Think!" Gouwei hurriedly said.

All he dreamed about was going out of the city, and looking for a chance to leave Qiyuan County.

Ma Lian said solemnly: "Master, if you want to send someone, just say so."

So Yan Xun went out of the city with a horse's face and a dog's tail.

When he arrived at the city wall, the dog tail looked up at the extremely tall city wall, feeling that it was impossible for him to climb up in this life, and was about to ask Yan Xun what he could do, when he saw that the Bobo cubs and the Tantan cubs were both He took out a very weird umbrella, and a mechanism popped out of it, and then the two cubs flew up.

Gouwei felt that his field of vision seemed to have changed again, and he realized belatedly that he also flew up.

Until he climbed over the city wall, entered the camp, and arrived at a completely safe place, the dog's tail was still a little dazed.

He said why the young master dared to break into the city. It turned out that he had such unpredictable means.

"Father, how are you?" Dan Honghong had been waiting in the tent, and when she saw Yan Xun coming back, she rushed out to greet her.

Gouwei looked over when he heard the movement, and then was taken aback again.

On the ground was a little cub the size of an egg. It had a round face, red hair, red eyelashes, and was wearing very delicate clothes. When it ran out, its little feet left a series of small footprints on the ground.

Just when the dog's tail was in a daze, he saw a black child running out with big black and white eyes.

Xiao Hei is smaller than Dan Honghong, reaching only to Dan Honghong's waist.

"Dan Honghong, get ready and go to the city to send a message to Mr. Jia, so he should not be careful." Yan Xun quickly told Dan Honghong about the discovery in the city, and sent him to deliver the message.

"Understood." Dan Honghong hurriedly went to call the little prince, and the two quickly escaped.

After sending Dan Honghong out, Yan Xun heaved a sigh of relief and explained: "That's my youngest son, Dan Honghong. You guys rest at ease, it's still safe outside, and I'll send you to Shangyuan Village later. will go."

The dog's tail didn't wait long before Egg Honghong came back, and then he followed Ma Lian to Shangyuan Village non-stop.

Gouwei had left the county before, but at that time he was too poor to leave Qiyuan County. He had also heard of Shangyuan Village, and even heard that there was a General Dog in it. Lin Lin, no one dares to speak.

This time back to Shangyuan Village, Gouwei found that it was not the same as what he remembered.

"Little stone." Cub Bobo called into the distance.

"Here we come." Xiao Shitou promised, and quickly ran out.

These days, Shangyuan Village has grown from scratch. It has built a cement furnace and is burning cement to build roads. When the flame cubs come back to heat up the cement furnace and burn out better quality cement, they can start building workshops and building cement. building.

However, the cement bungalow has already been built, plus there are dining halls, dormitories and other places, Xiao Shitou is so busy that he usually lights up oil lamps to fight at night.

The same is true for other stewards, but no one complains, because the more you work, the more wages you get, and if you can get the attention of the chief steward above, you can continue to climb up if you can't.

"You don't need to force them to work, just arrange the place to live, daily food, clothes and so on." Cub Bobo explained, "When Xiaohua and the others come back, check them first. , I’ll talk about it later.”

Little Shitou hurriedly nodded, and asked again: "Doctor Xiaohua is coming?"

"En. My lord said that you don't need to go to the border city, you can let it go." The cub Bobo said calmly, "From now on, the focus will be on Qiyuan County. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"I know, I know." Little Stone beckoned Dog Tail and Horse Face to leave.

The dog's tail and the horse's face were quickly arranged to live in a narrow room, very small, but very safe and safe. Both father and son were very satisfied. They got new clothes and had three meals a day. .
