Song Youzu exhaled a few puffs of foul air and said angrily:

"Why, Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, did you call me over in such a hurry just to let me watch your sisters-in-law act out?"

Lin Qing and Gou Shi only then realized that Song Youzu had arrived. Gou Shi hurriedly stood up and wiped away her tears, saying, "Well, sister-in-law, Uncle Youzu, you guys go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore!"

Lin Qing hurriedly called Gu Damao over.

"Go and send your aunt back quickly, and then tell Changqing, you know what to do, right?"

Gu Damao thought for a moment, nodded quickly, and hurriedly followed Gou's footsteps.

Although Gou left in a hurry, she did not enter her home. Instead, she sat on a tree stump at the door and sobbed.

Seeing Gu Damao following him, he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Why, Damao, does your sister-in-law have something to tell you?"

Gu Damao smiled and said, "No, Mom is just worried about you. Don't worry, Auntie. I will contact Changqing, but I need to borrow some paper and pen from your house."

His was still at home. If he went back to get it now, it would definitely attract Song Youzu's attention, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, okay, this isn't difficult."

Looking at Gu Damao who was so calm and reliable in front of her, Gou couldn't help but think of her own father Changqing, and tears couldn't stop falling.

With tearful eyes, she finally aimed at the keyhole and opened the door. She led Gu Damao to the east wing and said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll get it."

Although Gou didn't know what Gu Damao wanted the paper and pen for, she moved quickly and got them after a while.

Gu Damao took it and wrote it in one go, then folded it into the size of a palm after the ink dried.

Just when Gou was wondering what he was going to do, she saw Gu Damao take out a white thing from his chest.

Before Gou could ask what it was, Gu Damao had already put it to his mouth and blew it.

Then he heard a sharp scream from the air, and in the blink of an eye he saw a huge strange bird falling from the sky and landing in his yard.

Gu Damao supported Gou, who was about to faint, and said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. This is the carrier pigeon my father left for us. Its name is Jifeng. Don't be fooled by its fierce appearance, but it's very well behaved! Let it deliver the message to Changqing quickly."

Gou, who was nearly frightened to death, patted his chest and said, "Brother Dasong is truly a man of the battlefield. His carrier pigeons are different from those of other places."

Gu Damao thought about how he was frightened the first time he saw Ji Feng last night, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, it is a little different."

...

During dinner last night, Gu Damao raised the question with some concern: "Mom, Changqing has returned to the academy, and we are not in town anymore. It will not be as convenient to meet as before. So how can we communicate with each other?"

"The academy must have already started implementing their plan. I wonder how the mock policy essays are going..."

Lin Qing smiled mysteriously, put his fingers to his mouth and whistled.

As the children looked at them with curiosity and surprise, a ferocious falcon came flying through the wind.

I saw it resting steadily on the window frame, and there seemed to be traces of blood on its sharp, hooked beak.

It seems that he has had a full meal.

When Gu Ermiao saw it again, he was no longer so afraid. He happily took the beef cubes handed to him by Lin Qing and went forward to feed them into its mouth.

"blast!"

The remaining three children were so frightened that they huddled together.

"Mom, mom, what is this?"

The moment Xing Wenjie saw it, his heartbeat stopped for a moment.

It really is a giant falcon with a dragon head!

There are few people in the Ganzhou army who can tame this kind of bird of prey. Even if it recognizes its master, it will only be loyal to one person.

What kind of tricks did this lady use to not only take out one so easily, but also train it to be so obedient that it would allow others to feed it?!

Unexpectedly, Lin Qing’s next words made him even more shocked.

"It will help us communicate with Changqing. This is the bone flute that can be used to call it."

what? !

Such a bird of prey that can fight a hundred at once is actually being used as a carrier pigeon?!

What a waste of natural resources!

Outrageous!

But when Lin Qing also handed him a bone flute, Xing Wenjie's anger disappeared instantly. He couldn't even help but smile and couldn't wait to put it to his lips and blow it.

Ji Feng, who was eating beef, turned and looked at him, as if to confirm his appearance.

Xing Wenjie carefully raised his hand and stroked its back, his heart surging with emotion.

If the master knew that he actually had a giant falcon with a dragon head, he would definitely be envious and talk in his dreams!

Xing Wenjie said with a trembling voice, "Isn't it called Jifeng? Jifeng, it really fits its characteristics. It's as fast as the wind and as swift as thunder."

At that time, Gu Damao was still a little afraid of this giant bird, and he didn't expect that he would use it so soon.

The dragon-headed falcon caused such a big commotion, but fortunately Song Youzu was only lying on the ground looking at the sprouting red amaranth and did not notice that the gust of wind suddenly sent it soaring into the sky again.

Song Youzu looked at the tender sprouts all over the ground, smiling so hard that his teeth were almost showing.

"Hey, this is truly rare! I've been working with crops my entire life, and I've never seen a seedling like this before! Even if nothing else, the fact that it's sprouting at this hour tells me it must be something special!"

Seeing Song Youzu, Lin Qing waved and Gu Sanmu very considerately handed over a small shovel of suitable size. She felt both relieved and a little distressed.

Sanmu's mind is not as active as Ermiao's. I wonder how much injustice he has suffered from Song Youzu, the old man with a bad temper, that he has become so perceptive in just one day.

Song Youzu carefully scooped up a few seedlings and placed them in a basket. He turned around and looked at the barely noticeable green on the ground. He said, "Gu's eldest daughter-in-law, I won't take much. I'll take these back and take a good look at them first. If you have any seeds here, please give them to me..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Qing handed him a bag of rapeseed with a smile, as if she had expected him to make such a request.

Song Youzu seemed to be choked and coughed a few times before signaling Gu Sanmu to take it.

"Ahem, I heard from Sanmu that this is red amaranth? To be honest, I've never heard of it, and I don't know if it's edible. After I grow it, if you don't dare to try it, just leave it to me."

Song Youzu sighed and said, "If this can really solve the famine in our village, I will never take the credit for it. I will definitely tell everyone that this was your family's idea."

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "No, with Uncle Zu, as long as the famine is resolved, we don't need to care who gets the credit."

"Hey, you can't say that."

Song Youzu turned around and looked at the green hope on the ground, then looked at Gu Sanmu's face, and said firmly: "I couldn't send your father to the County Agricultural Department at that time, so I must send you in!"

Lin Qing was deeply moved by these words. She squeezed Gu Sanmu's shoulders tightly and said:

"Follow Grandpa Youzu and work hard! You must remember that the land will never deceive you. It will reward you with the same amount of harvest as the effort you put in."

Gu Sanmu nodded heavily.

Song Youzu's eyes gleamed when he heard this, and he said, "What the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family said is very pleasing to the ear!"
