After Fu Da and his wife left, Fu Shiyi and the double-eyed bird were the only ones left in Guyaju.
"Little guy, your rations are here."
Fu Shi gave one-fifth of the red marrow rice in his breakfast to the little yellow bird. The spirit-loving insect is useful for space, and she can only steal food from the mouths of birds:
"Come on, little one, let me check how many golden retrievers you have grown in the past few days."
Regardless of the little yellow bird's protest, Fu Shiyi carefully checked the feathers on its body and found four more shining golden feathers among a pile of yellow feathers. This was a sign of evolving into a first-order spiritual beast:
"Xiao Huang, yes, yes, according to this progress, all your yellow hair will be turned into gold by the end of the year. Finally, I won't waste my food rations."
Fu Shiyi clicked the little guy's beak with satisfaction.
After Fu Shiyi had breakfast, he used the Spirit Gathering and Rain Technique on the six acres of red marrow rice. More than a year has passed. At first, she relied on the Soul Gathering Bowl and could only cast spells once every two hours, consuming all her mana every time.
Casting spells is not only slow, but also consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
Now that she has shortened the casting time to half, and added the third-level spirit gathering array, the spiritual energy in the spiritual field has gradually become richer, and the time for her to recover her spiritual power has also been shortened.
It used to take six days to water the spiritual field, but now it has been shortened to two and a half days.
In the remaining time, in addition to daily practice, she began to study "Zixu Alchemy Handbook" and "Qingyuan Sword Art". In the mountains, she could only go to the Qingmei Pavilion spring to practice three times a month. Now she can sit under the third-order spiritual peach tree for four hours every three days, so her practice of the "Xuannv Heart Sutra" is much faster.
May.
Fu Da and his wife returned from Fujiapu with radiant faces. When they saw Fu Shiyi, they immediately knelt down to her. Fu Shiyi was shocked:
"What are you doing? Stand up and talk about something."
Only in Fu Da's excited expression did Fu Shiyi understand.
It turned out that after Fu Da's father ate the green plum fruit, his limbs were weak and he was paralyzed in bed all day long. Now one month later, he can get up every day and walk a few steps with a cane.
"I followed Aunt Eleven's instructions and didn't dare to let him eat more. I just took a small piece every day and packed the rest in a red sandalwood box. Aunt Eleven, your great kindness will be unforgettable!"
Fu Shi glanced at Fu Da and was about to kneel down again, so he quickly stopped him.
Speaking of which, she and her father haven't seen each other for three years. I also remember it very much:
"Before the New Year, my father wrote back to the clan and told me that he had returned from the Southern Wilderness. I guess he should have returned before the red marrow rice matures, right?"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the third uncle sent someone to send a letter to Fu Shiyi, saying that he was happy with Lin'er. Unfortunately, the child had no spiritual roots, but his other wife was also pregnant and was already three months old.
In October, Fu Shishi finished harvesting the red marrow rice. When her eighth uncle and twelfth uncle came down from Luofeng Mountain, she did not find her father in the crowd. She couldn't bear it any longer:
"Eighth uncle, hasn't my father come back yet?"
The Eighth Uncle and the Twelfth Uncle looked at each other, and finally shook their heads and said, "The last time we received news from the clan leader was years ago. According to the schedule, their expedition team should have returned to Luofeng Mountain two months ago."
Fu Shiyi's heart was beating wildly.
Not only were monsters rampant in the Southern Wilderness, but most of the casual cultivators there were desperadoes who could not stay in the Yue Kingdom. Fu Shiyi was restless.
The eighth uncle and the twelfth uncle were also a little worried. They comforted Fu Shiyi a few words and asked the law enforcement team to carry the red marrow rice onto the back of the scorched-antlered deer. There were only four horned deer following down the mountain this time. The old deer had died of old age at the beginning of spring, and the other one was pregnant with a calf and stayed on the mountain to recuperate.
"This year we have produced three hundred kilograms more red marrow rice than last year. Eleven, it seems you are very talented in planting."
"Uncle Twelve, the production of red marrow rice has increased this year because the spiritual energy has become stronger. My niece dare not claim credit."
The joy of the harvest of red marrow rice diluted the sorrow. The eighth uncle and the twelfth uncle repaired for a day and inspected the third-level spirit gathering array again before returning to the mountain with their goods.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the New Year’s Eve again.
Fu Shiyi still hasn't received news of his father's safe return.
On New Year's Eve, because Fu Da went to the Feng family in Nanshan County, only Fu Shiyi and Fu Da's wife were left in the ancient cliff residence. The little yellow bird's yellow feathers were also changed to gold and fell into a deep sleep.
The bamboo building looked particularly deserted.
After the two of them finished their New Year's Eve dinner, it happened to snow heavily outside. The communication talisman on Fu Shiyi's waist suddenly flashed. Every household was having a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. How could anyone from the clan come at this time? Fu Shiyi then thought:
"Could it be that father is back?"
After the formation was activated, a man in his twenties was standing in the snow looking at Fu Shiyi with a smile. Fu Shiyi felt a sore nose when he saw the empty sleeve on his left arm:
"Uncle~"
"Oh, silly girl, stop crying. I'm most afraid that you'll cry. Your father is fine. It's just because he's worried about you that my eldest brother specially asked me to go around to Guyaju to report to you that he's safe."
It's good that people come back safely.
Fu Shiyi glanced at his uncle who was missing an arm, but he still felt uncomfortable.
"Why are your eyes still red? Is it because your father didn't come to see you immediately? The eldest brother is the head of the clan. He has been away from Luofengshan for three or four years. I don't know how many things are waiting for him to deal with. The clan Everyone is also waiting for news about him. You..."
"Does it still hurt?"
Fu Shiyi interrupted his uncle's comfort and gently touched his broken arm.
"Hey, this little injury is nothing. It's a pity that I didn't bring the fifth and sixth brothers back together."
It turned out that their expedition team encountered a third-level high-grade double-headed eagle on their return trip.
This monster looked like an eagle but not an eagle, with wings several feet long, and two bald, ferocious bird heads staring at them. They hid in the cave for half a year, and when they saw that the two-headed eagle still had no intention of evacuating, they divided into Two waves of people fled.
Fu Shiyi's father and brother-in-law team up.
"We made an appointment to meet in Ning County, but after waiting for three months, we still didn't see the fifth brother and the sixth brother. Fortunately, we each brought a portion of rock grass seeds with us at the time, and the mission of this trip was also It’s done.”
My brother-in-law and his father are biological brothers, and he was raised by his father. He was influenced by his father and is the most loyal. Fu Shiyi knew that his uncle felt uncomfortable, so he changed the subject and said:
"Brother-in-law, when you left, you said you wanted to give me a big haircut gift. Bring it here."
"Hey, you have become a big girl, and you still reach out to ask for gifts. Are you ashamed?"
The uncle scratched Fu Shiyi's nose dotingly, and handed Fu Shiyi a small bag: "This is a second-level low-grade storage bag made from Kongming Stone. There are three feet square in it." space."
Storage bags are more precious than ordinary bags. The one in Fu Shiyi's hand would cost at least a hundred spirit stones in the city.
Therefore, only a few elders of the Fu clan have second-level storage bags.
