Cub Nursery

Chapter 573

Rattlesnake's house is different from the house above, regardless of the main house, side house, side room, yard, gate, etc. The house is the house when you enter the door, and the inside is a separate and smaller house, built with large stones The gaps are covered with mud, and it is enough to cover the height that can be reached by hand. On top of it is the roof, which is covered with something. It feels a little damp to the touch, and it seems that water can be squeezed out vaguely.

"Basically all the places in the house are empty, so I can live anywhere." After finishing speaking, Rattlesnake gestured at Yan Xun.

The houses in the village are all like this. Some families have many children, and they will divide the existing house into two, so that there will be an extra room.

"I know." Yan Xun hurriedly said, "It's good to have a place to hide, what is there to be dissatisfied with, the children and I don't know how happy we are."

"That's good." Rattlesnake heaved a sigh of relief.

The cubs also looked at each room very naturally, and then ran back to talk to Yan Xun, all in a happy tone.

"Hypocrisy." The fifth prince snorted coldly.

Rattlesnake and Yan Xun had puns in their words, and these little cubs were also top performers. They pretended to go to every house to see them, and they looked very happy when they finally found a place to hide.

The fifth prince is clear, needless to say Yan Xun's food and clothing, even if he is trapped in the palace by the emperor, his food and use are better than the emperor's. It is delicacies from mountains and seas, but even if you eat home-cooked meals, it is definitely different.

Compared with the environment in front of the cubs, it is really far from the environment they usually live in.

The Fifth Prince made no secret of his dislike. He was a man of heaven and nobles after all. He grew up in rich clothes and rich food, and even with this blue-faced and fang-like appearance, he had never been exposed to the environment in front of him.

"This is already very good..." Yan Xun sighed, "They are all people who have experienced hard times, how could they despise such a good place."

The little cubs once suffered in the original Honglu Temple. Although Yan Xun lived a comfortable life in this life, he lived a more miserable life in his previous life than now, and his current health is getting worse...

"Let's think of a way and see how we can ask the elders to keep us here." The flower tree cub said, "I've had enough of living a life of wandering, and every time I go back to those villages, they want to eat food outside. Kill us, but that matter...has nothing to do with us. This time, Dad finally found a brother, and we must find a way to stay. What do you think, cousin?"

The little cub next to him nodded immediately. From the current point of view, the scene is like this.

The fifth prince also has an identity, he is the cousin of the cubs, a child of an unfounded brother's family fabricated by Jing Fengye.

The Fifth Prince was by his side when the relationship was confirmed in the cave, he sniffed and didn't take it seriously, and he didn't intend to admit the identity that the cubs had fabricated for him.

"Xiao Hua, don't say a few words, your cousin is also unlucky, if he didn't come to the house, he wouldn't have such a thing, hey." Yan Xun also sighed pretendingly, and turned to persuade the fifth prince, "You too, No matter what, it's a good thing that we have a place to stay, so don't make trouble anymore."

"That's right." The flower tree cub also echoed.

The fifth prince was so angry that his head was smoking, but no matter how you look at it, Yan Xun and the cubs were justified in saying this, but he became a vexatious person.

"Rattlesnake, let's not waste time. You can go to the Fifth Elder now to ask about the situation, and see if you can ask him to help you find out what the other elders say. If we know what the elders think, we can make plans earlier." Yan Xun saw the rattlesnake froze and didn't move, knew that he was frightened by the fifth prince, and hurriedly sent him to work.

The rattlesnake was relieved and hurried out of the house.

There were only his own people left in the house, so Yan Xun sent the cubs to stay in the house by themselves, while he stood at the gate, watching the outside and listening to the movement outside.

Neighbors on both sides heard news. One family was doing things that needed mosaics and river crabs, and the other family seemed to be feeding pigs. The pigs roared very fiercely, not like domestic pigs, but a bit like wild animals.

Occasionally, there was the sound of flapping wings flying over the head, and Yan Xun knew that it was a half-formed bat.

It's strange to say that the village is obviously not peaceful, and there are many kinds of voices, but the half-grown bats can't imitate their voices, and when Yan Xun and the cubs first came down, Dan When the younger brother said "it's me", there was a half-adult imitation of the bat's treacherous sound.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside." Jing Fengye came out of the room, seeing Yan Xun standing motionless at the door, he was a little worried about Yan Xun's physical condition.

"I'm fine." Yan Xun took a breath, slowly leaned on Jing Fengye and whispered, "I'm just a little worried."

Worried about imitating the half-adult Bat Guiyin of "It's me" to meet the elders in the village, and the elders will hear that sentence, thus exposing their existence.

"They are the eyes that are everywhere. If we really want to keep them, we will naturally have to bear the test of 'God'." Jing Fengye touched Yan Xun's hand, which was cold and cold, and felt a little sad in his heart. Now Yan Xun couldn't keep his hands warm no matter what, "Come in, Rattlesnake will help us."

"I hope I can pass the test." Yan Xun naturally understood the meaning of Jing Fengye's words, and he also had something to say.

In fact, it is not cold outside at all, because there is almost no wind, but it is too humid. I always feel that the clothes on my body will get wet soon, and my body seems to be dry all the time.

There was an unpleasant musty smell in the room, Yan Xun didn't want to go back, so he stood at the door and waited for the rattlesnake, Jing Fengye didn't urge him any more, just waited with him.

Rattlesnakes go fast and come back fast.

The news brought back was nothing to hide from others. The Rattlesnake said at the door of the house, "The Fifth Elder took me to meet several elders. He didn't say to let you go, nor did he say to keep you. But the Fifth Elder privately I told me that the next sacrifice will start soon, and the elders are all busy with that, so they may not be able to take care of you for the time being, so they will have to wait until after the sacrifice to be free."

"But it is estimated that as long as you can survive the sacrifice, you can basically stay."

After all, the sacrifice is for the 'God', as long as Yan Xun is fine after the sacrifice, then he has passed the test of the 'God', and there is no need to leave.

What the elders said was half-truth and half-false, there must be some free time, but it is not yet decided whether Yan Xun will stay or not, it is just a sacrifice to test Yan Xun.

There is a deeper meaning here, the Fifth Elder didn't tell Rattlesnake, and Rattlesnake didn't think that much, but Yan Xun figured it out almost instantly.

"That's great." Yan Xun said happily, "Come in quickly, get to know these little brats well, and I'll rely on you to take care of them from now on."

"No way." Rattlesnake knew that this was a polite remark, how could he take care of these extremely capable little cubs, he was taken care of almost.

"Come in." Yan Xun let the rattlesnake in.

After entering the house, Jing Fengye stood at the door and blocked the door.

Brother Dan got out of Yan Xun's body, jumped onto the rock, and gestured at the rattlesnake with a serious face.

The rattlesnake had to use a lot of force to see clearly the gestures of the little brother Egg. After seeing clearly, he was startled, almost cried out, and hurriedly gestured, "No, no, I don't know, the fifth elder didn't say anything, no possible."

"It's very possible." Brother Dan was still very serious, "No matter who is elected in the village every year, no one will be happy, right?"

Even after being selected, he voluntarily sacrificed to the 'God', but that was because there was no other better choice, just like the white fox, who accepted his fate.

So what if there are other options?

Everyone in the selected village is the same, and no one will complain, because everyone's fate is the same, but if a few of them are selected, they can withdraw and let Yan Xun, Jing Fengye, and the fifth prince, Or even the cubs on top?

Although they are all the same people who live below, people in the same village are always closer, and people from outside are always a step further away.

Human beings have selfishness. Those sayings that I will go to hell if I don't go to hell are said by the Buddha. How many people in the world can reach the state of the Buddha?

As soon as this reasoning was explained, Rattlesnake immediately understood, and he was a little dejected, "It can't be like this."

"It's okay. If it's really like this, it will save a lot of trouble." Yan Xun was trying to learn more about the village, but right now he can't go out too casually, which is inconvenient. If he is really selected, he can at least get in touch with more of them.

And the elders of the village on the other side finally met, and after talking about the sacrifice, they mentioned people like Yan Xun.

"If it really came from there, it's not easy for us to drive away now. We have to wait until the sacrifice is over to talk about it."

"We still have to be cautious, find someone to see if the rattlesnake has been deceived, in case it is above..."

"No way, it's impossible for someone to come down from above. Even if the rattlesnake was cheated, it's probably a cheat for food and drink."

"We still need to be energetic in special times, and the top is not peaceful now."

"I'll go and see for myself."

"It can't be the above, otherwise...it can't be that there is no reaction at all."

After discussing with each other, the elders quickly dispersed, and then several of the elders, including the fifth elder, all came to find Rattlesnake.

Rattlesnake had been tense all the time, and when he saw several elders coming, he immediately became nervous, blocking the door, not knowing what to say.

Yan Xun coughed continuously in the room, it was not a disguise, but the environment in the room was too bad, he was not in good health, he was already sick, his throat was sore, and his voice had changed.

"Rattlesnake, are you the elders? Come in quickly." Yan Xun said while coughing.

The Rattlesnake stepped aside to let the elders into the house.

Several people all entered the room, staring at Yan Xun and Jing Fengye unobtrusively.

Yan Xun frowned, he didn't expect these elders to be quite vigilant, it's no wonder they kept the secrets of the above for so many years.

"Elders, I also know that it's not good to go to the Rattlesnake, but if it's just me and my family, it's fine, and there are so many children." Yan Xun said slowly...
