Cub Nursery

From top to bottom in Qiyuan County, including the former county magistrate, down to the county magistrates, masters, yamen servants, and various minor officials, etc., they are all locals of Qiyuan County, even the old man at the gate of the county yamen is also a native of the county. , it can be said that in the entire Qiyuan County, only Jia Qiugu and his party are outsiders.

Jia Qiu looked around, inside and out, and couldn't help frowning.

Along the way, he found that only Qiyuan County was the poorest, and the entire county government was even poorer, and the courtyard built for the county magistrate was even more dilapidated, not even comparable to the house where the servants of the Jia family's government lived.

In this way, he also understood in his heart how heavy the task entrusted to him by the emperor was, or if he could not improve Qiyuan County, he might not have the opportunity to return to the capital, let alone climb up.

Jia Qiugu took a deep breath, his vision for his future official career cooled down quickly, and he no longer felt that inexplicable complacency.

"Master, do you want to deliver a letter to the border town?" Wenqiu rolled his eyes, and when he saw no one was talking, he opened his mouth.

"No." Jia Qiu said in isolation, "It's not time to deliver letters there yet."

Jia Qiugu glanced at Wenqiu, he was sent by the emperor, he helped a lot along the way, but after all, his identities were different, even Wenqiu and Wendong were dressed as servants, Jia Qiu Gu also dare not underestimate.

At this moment, seeing Wenqiu bowing his head and not speaking, Jia Qiugu hurriedly explained: "Master Yan's side is troubled, and there are still monsters attacking the city, and there are many other things involved. Let's rectify Qiyuan County first and then Send the letter over there, otherwise, even if it is sending the letter now, there may not be time to take care of it."

"What your lord said is true." Wenqiu said hastily.

Wen Dong stood aside without saying a word.

When everyone had dispersed, Wendong hurriedly pulled Wenqiu aside, lowered his voice and said, "What are you mixing up with? The emperor sent us here to help Mr. Jia manage Qiyuan County well. When we return to Beijing in the future, we will not only If Mr. Jia can rise to the top, we will follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. Ask Qiu, look at what you have done, if Mr. Jia starts to guard against you, do you think you can get any good job?"

"Brother, didn't you say that the two of us were sent by the emperor?" Wenqiu said, poking his neck.

"What do you know! There is a saying that is good, the county magistrate is better off now. We are far away from the capital now, but we are working under Mr. Jia. Think about it carefully, if Mr. Jia doesn't trust us and doesn't arrange errands for us, We can only serve as the emperor's eyes, and when we return to Beijing in the future, do you think we can have serious errands?"

"Wenqiu, you have good skills, otherwise you would not be selected, but you have to restrain your temper, otherwise our future will be bleak."

Wenqiu lowered his head and sniffed sadly, "Do you think I'm a brother, and being your partner has dragged you down?"

The two of them have special identities, they are both the emperor's confidantes, and they often carry out a series of secret orders, and this time the two of them can get this errand, it is an opportunity to turn from the dark to the bright, if they grasp it well, they will definitely benefit endlessly in the future .

"Wen Dong, I know these truths. I also want to do something to make Mr. Jia trust us, otherwise how could I say those words." Wen Qiu looked around and saw no one, so he came together Wen Dong continued in his ear, "Master Jia's knowledge is very good, but his skills...you should know it even if I don't say it."

"Yes." Wendong stopped talking.

Along the way, apart from their help, the rest were almost all helped by Qi Jieer. Jia Qiugu couldn't understand many things, but he was very knowledgeable and would not dislike bad conditions. Even if they eat and sleep in the open air, they won't say anything, which makes many people secretly relieved.

Wenqiu said in a low voice: "I originally thought Mr. Jia was an ordinary civil servant, only knowledgeable. I didn't expect that he could endure hardships and would not put on airs. I wanted to help out. Let's send letters to the border town by means. Master Yan has no time to help, so can the cubs not help?"

While talking, Wenqiu looked around again, and said almost breathlessly, "Wendong, I asked before I came again, there is a person in the cub nursery..."

He gestured towards Dong.

There are quite a few princes in the palace, but there is only one who had an accident and made a big fuss. Up to now, the prince doesn’t know why, some say he’s gone, some say he’s still alive but was rejected by the emperor, but the palace has always been No exact statement was given.

Besides, Concubine Jia was still favored and gave birth to a younger little prince, so it was impossible for the emperor to dislike the little prince.

"Speak carefully!" Wen Dong hurriedly said, "You can't say these things indiscriminately, as long as we know it in our hearts, you don't have to tell others."

"I know." Wenqiu nodded hastily, "I've inquired about it...not only is she living well, she's also very intelligent, and she has a very good relationship with Dan Honghong. We contacted there, and we are well-known teachers, and we are not alone. Contact Master Yan..."

Wen Dong was also tempted, "Find a chance to contact the border town, and I'll talk to Master Jia."

After contacting Qiyuan County once, it has been a long time.

The little prince discussed with the cubs, but he didn't tell Qiyuan County that Yan Xun had an accident, nor did he help Qiyuan County. with help.

It's getting colder and colder, and it's officially winter.

The kang in the house is burning hot all day long, hot water is warming on the charcoal stove, and there is hot tea to drink all day long.

The cubs hardly went out, waiting for news from Yan Xun while they were in Maodong.

Dan Honghong was still very sad in her heart, she still had big dark circles under her eyes, but she didn't lie still in the nest anymore, and with the other cubs, she slept when it was time to sleep, and ate when it was time to eat, no matter what. Take good care of your body.

It's just that I know that I should sleep, but I can't sleep, so I can only lie in the den to rest.

It's morning now, Dan Honghong crawled out of the nest, put on the emperor's thin jacket, put her own nest in the cabinet, and then ran out to help.

The steaming hot noodles are served on the table, and the pots of brine exude a strong fragrance, which looks delicious.

Egg Honghong didn't have much appetite, so she forced herself to eat some and started counting with her paws, "There has been no news from Qiyuan County for a long time, and I don't know if it's going well or not. The capital has always had news..."

"There is Xiaodan in the capital, so it will be fine." Brother Dan slurped a piece of noodles and took another sip of hot soup, "Qiyuan County used to be ignored, even if there is a county government, it is run by local people. And every year I can’t pay taxes, and I need court subsidies every year. If there is no trick in it, I don’t believe it anyway. Mr. Jia is devolved from the capital, even if he goes to Qiyuan County like a dragon, he still has to put it up. It's still early..."

"Brother, was it like this when we first came to the border town?" Dan Honghong asked.

Brother Dan was born in the border town, broke his shell in the capital, and he didn't know anything about it, so he also looked at the other cubs.

Shaking Mountain cub hurriedly said: "The border city is different from Qiyuan County. The general guarding the border city was first my father guarding the city, and later it was General Yang Shuning Yang, and the young guarding the outer city wall was General Yang Qiong Yang. The two of them When I was in the capital, I was inseparable with my lord. Later, when I came to the border town, my lord brought the seeds. At that time..."

The seeds that can take root and germinate in border towns are very important cotton, and the branches that can take root and germinate in border towns are also mulberry trees.

In this way, it is too late for the military households in the border town to be happy, so how could they treat Yan Xun?

Later, the railway station was built, the cement building was built, and the border town changed little by little. The military households in the border town, and the Dao soldiers in the camp in the border town also changed little by little. Until now, even if Yan Xun is no longer, even if it is No matter how great the pressure from the outside was, no one in the border town did anything to the cubs in the nursery.

Shaking the mountain cub recalled while talking: "When I first went back to the camp in the border town, the adults told me quietly that if any Taoist soldiers wanted to attack me, let me fight back without hesitation. Capture the thief first and capture the king first. I am definitely no match for General Yang, my lord said he would help..."

On Yan Xun's side, the identity of the Shaking Mountain Cub has never been a secret. At that time, Yan Xun led the Shaking Mountain Cub into the camp in the border city, and thought that when the identity of the Shaking Mountain Cub was made public in the future, his first trip , no shame.

"It's really different." Dan Honghong drank the soup in her small bowl, put the bowl on the table, and ran back to stand on the edge of the table, "Qiyuan County still has to wait, now Ah Dad didn't come back...although Dad has already said how Qiyuan County should be planned."

"No rush." ​​Brother Dan said in an old-fashioned way, "The situation in Qiyuan County is very complicated. It will take at least a year and a half for Master Jia to sort it out."

The other cubs all nodded.

Within the territory of the demon country.

The tattered and tattered monster car repeatedly striped on the edge of falling apart, running forward slowly but firmly.

The window glass has been broken, and the outside wind can blow in unimpeded.

Yan Xun was in good spirits, lay down and fell asleep, woke up and started counting the rest of the food, and said to Jing Fengye: "The water we stored is almost gone, we will not eat these foods in the future, only eat Guiyuan blue Ganoderma lucidum."

"Success." Jing Fengye was busy shaking the handle without raising his head.

"I don't know how big this place is, but I haven't come to the edge after walking for so long." Yan Xun murmured, "I always feel that the Yao Kingdom can't be so big... In addition to such a wasteland in the Yao Kingdom, there must be more land. There are other things. Didn’t Messi live in the mountains all the time, he still vaguely remembers that there are everything in the mountains.”

Even monsters have to eat, otherwise how would they survive?

Just like the cubs in the nursery school, they used to be hungry day and night, as long as they stuttered, but now they can’t stop eating three meals a day, otherwise they will be hungry.

Xiao Hei has become very small now, and his height is only about the waist of Brother Dan. Although he still likes to sit still as before, his big black and white eyes are much more flexible, and he often looks thoughtfully. Looking at Yan Xun, and then at Jing Fengye, it seemed that he was thinking about something important.

Yan Xun talked to Jing Fengye for a while, and then to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, do you know what this is?"

While talking, Yan Xun didn't wait for Xiao Hei to answer, "These are some very simple mechanisms. These very simple mechanisms look easy, but they are absolutely indispensable. Moreover, these mechanisms can also be disassembled and reassembled." , into another institution.”

"The cubs even asked me to discuss whether they could find such a set of parts that can form all the organs in the world."

"As for me, I think the conjectures of the cubs are achievable, but the parts should be components that can change at any time, rather than rigid lumps of iron. And what we have discovered so far is not enough to support such a conjecture. We can only put aside the conjecture for the time being, and take a step back to study the shaped mechanism."

Yan Xun babbled on, didn't care how much Xiao Hei could understand, guessed that the time was almost up, so he took out a piece of Guiyuan blue Ganoderma lucidum and handed it to Xiao Hei.

"Father." Xiao Hei yelled loudly, and then gnawed on Guiyuanlan Ganoderma lucidum in small mouthfuls.

Yan Xun himself swallowed a Guiyuan blue Ganoderma lucidum.

After eating, Yan Xun suddenly remembered his experience before reuniting with Jing Fengye, he hesitated, but still said it.

"Master Jing, I don't really understand whether it is the consciousness or the soul." Yan Xun said in a low voice, "This is a demon country, and it stands to reason that there should be nothing else. Demons and ghosts should be It won't appear in the demon country, will it?"

Jing Fengye clenched the handle in his hand, "Not necessarily."

Only now did he know that Yan Xun had encountered such danger, if something happened at that time, he would not be by Yan Xun's side at all, and the consequences were simply unimaginable.

"That's right." Yan Xun understood, "Young monsters can come to Daqin as hostages, so why can't demons and ghosts appear?"

"We must find a way to return to the border town quickly." Jing Fengye said in a deep voice, "The Yao Country is too dangerous."

"Then we have to find a way to go back." Yan Xun was still calm, he even felt that the consciousness he encountered at the beginning should be harmless, otherwise he would not have retreated completely.Otherwise, there is an incredible possibility: his consciousness is much stronger than the other party.

Yan Xun looked down at his slender wrist and shook his head lightly.

His own strength is not strong, even very weak, not even comparable to ordinary strong men, so where does the confidence come from thinking that his ability must be very strong?

"It's getting dark, let's get ready to rest." Yan Xun looked outside and said softly.

"En." Jing Fengye began to prepare.

The sky was getting dark, and the demon car gradually stopped.

The broken glass of the car window was replaced with the only remaining green cotton cloth to temporarily block the howling wind outside.

The seat was laid flat, Yan Xun and Jing Fengye were lying side by side.

In the darkness, Yan Xun held Jing Fengye's fingers, and said softly, "Don't be depressed. Facing the unknown, I feel helpless just like you. What we have to do now is to live and then look for opportunities."

"I also regretted why I came out with the egg giant. If I thought of going to the demon country to catch some beautiful mermaids, would I be able to temporarily lure those monsters away to relieve the outer city wall? Would I stay in the border town? Have you figured out another solution now?"

"Master Jing, those things have passed. We should not only think about the past, but look forward."

"I know." Jing Fengye whispered, "I just feel a little incompetent."

"No, you are much better than me." Yan Xun chuckled, "Without you, how could I have come to Yao Kingdom like this. Lord Jing, you must not underestimate your ability, if you are not with me , but with one or two drops of blood on your body, you can definitely turn the world upside down in Daqin..."

Jing Fengye's blood is the most precious medicine, he only needs to take out a drop or two, not only can turn the clouds and rain, but also get whatever he wants.

Yan Xun said these words before, and now he mentioned them again. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Jing, you should never underestimate yourself, and never compare yourself to me. I am different from you. I am different from you. Everyone else is different."

He still has the deepest secret hidden in his heart that he will never tell anyone.

"Go to sleep." Yan Xun held Jing Fengye's hand, feeling a little at ease.

Jing Fengye waited for a while, making sure that Yan Xun was asleep, then slowly got up, quietly opened the car door and went out.

The demon country is cold and unbearable in the middle of the night, the cold wind is biting, and the pervasive malice mixed in the air is stronger than the day, as if the night has put a layer of battle clothes on these malice, making these malice penetrate into people's consciousness more ferociously .

No one can withstand this more ferocious malice, even after Jing Fengye reunited with Yan Xun, those thoughts in his heart began to slowly enlarge.
