Cub Nursery

"General!" Qin Sui cupped his hands at Yang Shuning with disapproval on his face.

Looking at the other lieutenants in the camp, they all believed in Yang Shuning, but they were not convinced by Yan Xun, and they all had undisguised hostility towards Jing Fengye and Shashan Cub.

They have been stationed in the border town all year round, and they may never leave for the rest of their lives. Every day when they open their eyes, they think about killing monsters, and before they close their eyes, they think about killing monsters.

There are many children in the city, and some of their fathers have long since disappeared. They all rely on the occasional food sent by the barracks to survive. They knew how to work for food when they were very young, otherwise they would not survive at all.

All the places in the border town are full of tragedies brought about by the attack of monsters from the demon country: children who started to work and earn food by themselves at a very young age, some seriously injured Taoist soldiers, although they are not old next year, they look old , young men and women hold their children and frown, because they are not sure whether they can support them.

It's all because of monsters.

There are two monsters in the camp.

Jing Fengye was well dressed, and compared with the armor worn by the lieutenants, it was simply out of place.The Shaking Mountain cub was wearing very small silk and satin clothes, which looked expensive, and he was still chubby, as if he had never suffered a bit.

The lieutenants and Taoist soldiers in the border town all knew that Yan Xun was an official of the Honglu Temple, and they came to greet the envoys from the Demon Kingdom last time, and they also knew that there were cubs sent by the Demon Kingdom as hostages in the Honglu Temple.

But if you know it, you know it, it is another thing to see Yan Xun swaggering into the camp with the cubs.

Yang Shuning looked around, wanting to speak for Yan Xun.

"It doesn't matter." Yan Xun said ahead of Yang Shuning, "I know what you think in your heart, you are all right, I won't make excuses."

Qin Sui looked angry, feeling that Yan Xun was deliberately trying to amuse them.

He snorted heavily and said, "Master Yan, this is a border town, it's very dangerous, it's not a place for you to come."

He was just a little lieutenant general with no rank, and he was really angry when he spoke unceremoniously at this moment.

"That's right." Yan Xun nodded.

Choking, Qin Sui couldn't say the rest of the words, and felt more and more that Yan Xun did it on purpose, and became even angrier.

"But because of some things, I have to come this way." Yan Xun looked at Jing Fengye, then at Shaanshan Cub, and said meaningfully, "They also have to come here."

"May I ask Lord Yan and... what are they doing?" Qin Sui asked with a cold face, as long as Yan Xun said something for fun, he would definitely disobey the order and do it directly, making it look good for those two monsters look.

"Did you bring it?" Yan Xun turned to ask Jing Fengye.

Jing Fengye hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hand and shook it.

He has been carrying the iron box, and since he got off the train, he has seen many people.Now Yan Xun asked completely on purpose, Jing Fengye knew what he meant, and deliberately raised his hand to show everyone around.

"Well, tell me..." Yan Xun reached out and patted Shashan Cub's shoulder.

The little cub was tense all the time. He could sense the hostility of the people here, and it felt like a needle pricked his body, which made him feel uncomfortable.He finally entered the camp of his dreams, but no one welcomed him.

When he was in a daze, Shashan Cub felt that he was being photographed by Yan Xun, so he hurriedly looked up, and was facing Yan Xun's smiling face.

The hostile, needle-like pain disappeared in an instant.

Seeing the anticipation in Yan Xun's eyes, the Shaking Mountain cub hurriedly raised his head, stepped forward and said, "It contains the smallpox vaccine. There is another vaccine, and the effect is not sure yet..."

"Dare to bring something you're not sure about. Are you trying to test medicine on us?" Qin Sui subconsciously asked.

The Shaking Mountain cub pursed his lips and said nothing, acquiescing.

Qin Chan was even angrier, and suddenly rushed over, wanting to show Shashan Cub a good look, and also wanted to test his abilities.

Yang Shuning next to him raised his foot and kicked him, kicking him out of the tent.

He snorted coldly, "It's enough to test and test. I really thought I didn't know what you guys think? Little guy, tell me what the smallpox vaccine is good for..."

"After being vaccinated, you will never get smallpox again." Shaking the mountain cub hurriedly said, and turned to look at Yan Xun, seeing him shaking his head slightly, he quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking about the second vaccine.

The lieutenants in the camp looked at each other, they didn't know what a vaccine was.

"Smallpox is an epidemic, and this vaccine can prevent it, understand?" Yang Shuning said unhappily, "Go back and get ready to get someone to vaccinate. I'm ugly, if anyone doesn't believe in this stuff, then don't come." The 10 people in Beijing have been vaccinated, whether it is safe or not is not what you say, so don't make trouble with me!"

Although Yang Shuning is a rough guy, and his speech is not good, but he can be said to be watertight.

Qin Sui listened outside, cold sweat broke out on his face, he wanted to test Yan Xun and those two monsters, and naturally there were people behind him who supported him, now hearing Yang Shuning say that, obviously he knew it.

In Daying in the border town, strength is the most important thing, when Yang Qiong first came here, he suffered a lot, but after Yang Shuning came, Jiang was still old and hot, and all the lieutenants were taken in obediently.

Now that Yang Shuning has spoken, even if there are still a few people who have thoughts in their hearts, they dare not put them into action.

Qin Sui didn't dare to enter the tent, after hearing Yang Shuning's shout, he hurriedly trotted to call for someone.

On the school grounds, the men were all shirtless and sweating profusely. Seeing Qin Sui coming, one of the men with thick eyebrows and big eyes said loudly, "General Qin, are you going to talk about vaccines?"

"You know?" Qin Sui stared, he didn't even know what a vaccine was, how did the old boy Hornet know.

Hornet put down a huge boulder that weighed [-] jins, rubbed his hands together and said, "A relative of mine is a skilled craftsman on the train. He just met me. He told me that. The vaccine is really so miraculous. Once you take it once, you won't get smallpox from now on." ?”

When he asked this, although the men around him didn't stop moving, their ears lost their ears.

Seeing the actions of these people, Qin Sui couldn't help but feel depressed, knowing that he was being tricked by those lieutenants with ulterior motives, not only offending Yang Shuning, but also offending Yan Xun, his face suddenly darkened .

He regretted being too impulsive in his heart, and hurriedly called the people under him and started to line up.

"General Qin, is Lord Yan really that powerful? I heard that he went to the ward and underwent an operation, and the faces of the wounded are much better now." Hornet stood at the front, and there was a lot of noise everywhere. , so he bravely asked Qin Sui to inquire.

In addition to these things, the Taoist soldiers also cared about the train.

Such a powerful behemoth came running like a rumbling hill. Even though I had seen it more than once, I was still shocked.Each carriage is like a small house, how many things have to be loaded inside.

Qin Sui kept silent with a dark face, he didn't know as much as these Dao soldiers, how could he speak?

But Huang Feng mistakenly thought that Qin Sui knew something, and said, "General Qin, I don't know if there is any food in that train. When General Yang came last time, he didn't bring much food. We've already finished eating..."

"Can the imperial court tell us in advance about the allocation of food and salaries? It's Master Yan's train!" Qin Sui couldn't bear it anymore.

"But..." Hornet was stunned for a moment, knowing that Qin Sui was right, but he still had that hope in his heart. He thought of the vaccine again, and said, "According to relatives, a vaccine is one hundred yuan, should we pay it or not?" Give me money."

Qin Sui was taken aback for a moment, and stopped talking, because he didn't know either.

If Yan Xun asked for money, most of the Dao soldiers would not be willing to take the money. They couldn't eat enough for themselves, so they withheld some money from their teeth to leave it to their family members or brothers' family members. Be willing to spend on yourself.

He even thought that if Yan Xun asked everyone to pay with a smooth tongue, then he would stand in the front.

Soon, Yang Shuning walked in the front, followed by Yan Xun, Jing Fengye was carrying the iron box, and the Mountain Shaker cub followed behind, carefully looking at the vast and huge school field.

This is the place for military training. The mountain shaker cub once climbed a very tall tree to see it secretly. That time he caught a glimpse of the guard city. Although it was only a blurred back, it was enough for him to be happy for a long time. .

Afterwards several doctors came and looked at Yan Xun excitedly.

The Taoist soldiers didn't know, but these doctors saw Yan Xun operate on those seriously injured Taoist soldiers.He looked relaxed, and he didn't change his face even after cutting off the carrion. His medical skills are really superb, and what the doctors envied even more was the good medicine Yan Xun brought. With one injection, several Dao soldiers who were feverish immediately subsided their fever. , the situation is much better.

"Master Yan, do you need money for that vaccine?" Seeing Yan Xun approaching, Qin Sui hurriedly asked.

"Of course it will cost money." Yan Xun said, "No matter where the vaccine goes, it will cost one hundred cents a piece, and the price will not change."

Qin Sui frowned, even if he had been promoted to lieutenant general, he still couldn't part with the one hundred cash, if he had that one hundred cash, he might as well use it to buy some food and fill his stomach.

Taoist soldiers usually pay for their food, and when they distribute money, it is very rare, and the big money they save is extremely precious, and they are definitely not willing to spend it.

Qin Sui looked back, and sure enough, he saw that many Taoist soldiers began to hesitate, and everyone was reluctant to part with the money.

"However..." Yan Xun caught the expressions of these people, and saw that Qin Sui was about to speak again, so he rushed in front of him and said, "You owe this money, and help me plant some cotton, mulberry trees and so on later. , it will be paid back soon, and if I work for a long time, I will pay back the money."

He had thought about it a long time ago, but he deliberately delayed speaking until now, because he didn't want those people who cared to cause trouble.

As soon as these words came out, several lieutenants who wanted to speak shut up, their faces livid.

"Master Yan, how long will it take to earn a hundred big coins?" Hornet shouted loudly when she heard that there was money to be earned, regardless of her status.

"If you're diligent, maybe two or three months." Yan Xun thought for a while.

In fact, it will be done in a month, he deliberately said a little longer.

"So fast!" Hornet exclaimed.

Many Taoist soldiers were a little moved. If there is really a way to earn money, then everyone wants to try it.I also felt that Yan Xun had already thought about bringing the vaccine this time, and he didn't intend to ask for money from everyone.

After figuring it out, Hornet immediately felt that Yan Xun was really a good person.

He was the first to rush forward, exposing his arm, and Yan Xun took the sharp needle and stabbed it in without changing his expression, and said to the doctor beside him, "See? That's it, it's not difficult at all. It's not easy to make a vaccine. , but it is very simple to use.”

"Master Yan, since the smallpox vaccine can be produced, can you..." An elderly doctor hesitated, but still asked, "Can you find a way to prevent the evil poison..."

"It's not urgent." Yan Xun said calmly, "I have this idea, but I have to take my time."

As he said that, Yan Xun especially looked at Fengye with glasses and Cub Shaking the Mountain.

The doctors instantly understood, and finally knew the purpose of Yan Xun bringing them here.The smallpox vaccine was created by several cubs together. Obviously, you need to ask the help of the monster to deal with the monster poison, and the doctors understand it very well.

Seeing that they understood, Yan Xun stopped talking.

After the doctors learned how to give injections, Yan Xun led Shaanshan Cub and Jing Fengye back to the train to rest.

There are Taoist soldiers everywhere in the border town, and people related to Taoist soldiers, only the trains are all from their own people, and no one is hostile to Shashan cubs.

Yan Xun went to the kitchen to get a baked cake, cut it into small pieces, and handed a piece to Shashan Cub, "Are you scared?"

"En." Shaking Mountain cub subconsciously nodded, then shook his head hastily.

Facing the hostility of so many people, even the sights that wanted to kill him and then hurry up, Shaanshan Cub was instinctively afraid, but when he saw Yan Xun, he felt that he should not be afraid.

"Those guys are big and thick, they can beat me half to death with one punch, and I'm also afraid." Yan Xun said with lingering fear, "But they definitely don't have a chance to do it. Tomorrow, I will send out half of the food and clothes in the carriage. There will be people who are hostile to us."

"I'm a monster, and it's normal for them to be hostile to me." Shaking the Mountain cub whispered, "Should all the things on the train be given to them directly?"

Food and clothing are things bought with money, and they are brought in by train. If they are all sent out, what will happen to the lost money?

"Of course not. The land around the border town is very suitable for growing mulberry trees and cotton. They help us to get clothes and food." Yan Xun said calmly, "Things given away for free are never as useful as those obtained at a price."

"En!" The Shaking Mountain cub was in high spirits.

He is not afraid of those hostility, because there are adults around, and the situation can always be changed slowly.

"By the way, let's go out for a while." Yan Xun said suddenly.

He specially changed his clothes, and let Shaanshan cubs also change their clothes, wearing patched coarse cloth clothes, although the shoes were clean, but there were holes, and the hair was covered with cloth, the two people, one big and one small, transformed into locals of the border town people.

"My lord, what about me?" Jing Fengye didn't find the clothes he could change, and was a little dumbfounded to see Yan Xun and Shashan Cub's changes.

"You stay on the train." Yan Xun said, "We will come as we go."

Jing Fengye wanted to say something else, seeing that Yan Xun packed some food and put it in a patched bag, and found that if he went out with him, he would definitely attract attention, so he had to stay on the train.

There is no way to cover up the dragon scale marks on his face, unlike Shashan Cub, who just smears some ash on his face and pretends that he is blackened by the ash.

After leaving the vicinity of the train and entering the border town, everything becomes different.

The Taoist camp is full of strong men, even if they don’t have enough to eat, they are still full of vitality. In the border town, except for the people in the shops who can be counted with a slap, most of the people on the road are yellow and thin, and most of them are brothers. He and the woman walked by in a hurry, occasionally seeing one or two children, thin, staring at the people on the road.

There are too few people here, and they are all poor people. There are no beggars, thinking that begging for food is impossible to get food.

Yan Xun held Shashan Cub's hand, lowered his head, not abrupt at all.

There are not many people on the street, and when you enter the alley, you can hardly see anyone.

Walking forward again, Shashan Cub suddenly reacted, and he quickly raised his head to look at Yan Xun, "My lord?"

The Mountain Shaker cub is very familiar with the place in front. He used to hide there for a long time. There is a small mound there. Occasionally, someone would throw some unburnable leaves over there. The Mountain Shaker cub would eat the leaves when he was hungry.

And it was very empty there, few people came, and it was very convenient for Jiaqing to bring him food.

Going forward, there is a family...

"I asked someone to find out that Brother Ming and Brother Huan still live there." Yan Xun said softly, "Brother Huan is getting older, and he also helps with the work. Now the father and son are working together. , I will be able to fill my stomach one day."

Much better than before.

Brother Ming used to work from morning to night every day, but he still couldn't earn enough food for two people. Now Brother Huan can also work, and if he earns an extra grain, he can have a full meal.

Yan Xun looked up at the sky, knew that Brother Ming and Brother Huan should not have come back, so he took Shashan Cub to find a clean stone and sat down, waiting for them to come back.

The houses here are very broken, but they are all made of stone, which is very strong.

The doors of every house are symbolically closed, and no one will deliberately break in.Because it is so poor, there is not much food left in every household, and even thieves will not patronize the border town.

When it was almost dark and there was no movement, people came back one after another.

Brother Ming is still helping people wash clothes, his hands are white from soaking, but fortunately the weather is not so cold now, the water is not too cold, his face looks good, unlike when it is cold, his hands seem to be knotted Like ice, chilblains piled one on top of the other, and it hurt and itched when not working, and if you accidentally scratched, you could see the white bones.

Brother Huan followed slowly. He was very thin and dark, with many small scars on his hands.

What he does is to help the war horses of the big camp organize the fodder. He has to go out before dawn every day and come back after dark. He works all day. Only in the morning can he get a hard pancake. He only eats half of it and saves the rest.

"Is it them?" Yan Xun asked softly.

He had never met Brother Ming and Brother Huan, but had only inquired about it. Seeing the dull appearance of the father and son at this moment, he felt that they should be.

Shaking Mountain cub nodded, "It's them."

"Let's go there." Yan Xun stood up.

The half-hidden door was pushed open, and a little vegetable was planted in the yard, which was wilted and very thin, but there was nothing else in the yard.There was only one room, and the door inside was broken. Through the broken door, the inside could be seen to be equally bare, not much more than the yard.

Cub Shaking Mountain was very excited, he looked up at Yan Xun.

Yan Xun nodded.

He hurriedly took a deep breath, and then called, "Is anyone there?"

Brother Huan came out of the house, and when he saw the Shaker cub, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then quickly dimmed, "Who are you looking for?" The dark kid looked like his brother, but it was obviously not his brother.

"Who?" Brother Ming looked out, looked Yan Xun up and down, and then looked at the Shaking Mountain Cub, thinking that Yan Xun was the brother who raised the children alone like him, so he immediately let go of his guard and said, "Come in .”

After entering the house, Yan Xun sat on the stone with the shaking mountain cubs.

There is no table in the room, just a wooden bed and a wooden cabinet in the corner.On the largest stone that served as a table, there was half a piece of hard pancake, beside it was a broken pancake, and some torn wild vegetables.

No matter how full the biscuits are, breaking them into pieces and making soup with wild vegetables can at least support the stomach.

Brother Huan glanced at the Cub Shaking Mountain, hesitated for a moment, picked up the unbroken pancake on the table, broke half of it and handed it over, "Here." Now he has the ability to earn food, but unfortunately his brother is gone.

The Shaking Mountain cub hesitated, took the pancake, and took a sip.

The pancakes are like hard rocks, and the taste is not good. There are some rice husks in it. It is difficult to bite, and it is hard to chew. The taste is even worse. The only advantage is that it can fill the stomach.

Cub Shaking Mountain had eaten this kind of pancake before, and Jiaqing secretly gave it to him, and he could eat a whole piece for a long time, but after he went to the beach and was discovered by Yan Xun, what he ate changed completely.

Although I have eaten better things, the taste of the pancakes is actually quite good, and the mountain cubs like it very much.

"Are you foreigners?" Brother Ming went out to scoop up an extra ladle of water and poured it into a clay pot.

Brother Huan squatted in front of the stove, stoking firewood and watching Shashan cubs secretly.

"Well, I heard that Lord Yan has taken a fancy to the land in the border town, and wants to plant mulberry trees and cotton here." Yan Xun said naturally, "At that time, many people will be needed to reclaim the fields. I heard that the treatment is very good. I plan to come try..."

"How can there be such a good thing, the demon country is opposite the border town, and the general crops in this place don't grow at all." Brother Ming said, "It doesn't matter where you come from, you'd better leave tomorrow, border town I'm having a hard time."

Yan Xun knew that Brother Ming had good intentions, so without saying anything, he poked Shashan Cub quietly.

The little cub hurriedly turned around, saw Yan Xun pointing to the bag, and immediately understood.

Brother Ming just said: "If you don't dislike it, you can stay at my house at night, and the soup cakes are also good. The inns in the city are lived by big people, ordinary people can't afford it, and the money is too much, so it's not worth it."

There are not so many intrigues in the border town. Firstly, there is a big camp outside the border town, all of them are Taoist soldiers; secondly, the place is too barren, and everyone's goal is to fill their stomachs and survive, and there is no time for intrigue.

"Well, we also brought food." Shaking Mountain cub opened the bag and took out the things inside.

Inside the paper cup are soft and delicious cakes, a few pieces of fluffy egg pancakes, a handful of dried red tofu, a piece of tender tofu, and a square iron box.

Brother Ming suddenly looked up at Yan Xun when he saw the cake, "You are..."

If foreigners come looking for opportunities, they must come because they can't survive, how can they come up with so much food.

Yan Xun stood up and cupped his hands, "I'm sorry, I didn't hide it on purpose, my name is Yan Xun, and I'm planning to open up wasteland and farm in the border town."

There weren't many things in the bag, so I quickly took them out one by one.

Brother Huan glanced at the food, and fixed his eyes on Shashan Cub, who imitated Yan Xun and cupped his hands, saying, "I'm..."

"He hasn't named yet." Yan Xun smiled, "I'm going to let him name himself in the future."
