Chapter 630: Chapter 629: Siblings Gather Together, Experiencing the Joy of Farming_1
Lin Qingluo smiled, put away her long sword, and blew a loud whistle to summon the giant eagle.
“Chirp.”
A loud eagle cry echoed above the icy river, and the giant eagle arrived in the blink of an eye, slowly descending with its huge wings flapping.
“Little Eagle, carry the polar bear back to the camp.”
Lin Qingluo used a magic spell to throw the polar bear onto the eagle’s back and pointed in the direction of the camp.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Chirp.”
The giant eagle understood and took off with a flap of its wings.
“Let’s go back too.”
Lin Qingluo smiled, her eyebrows raised, and with a wave of her right hand, a soft spiritual power entered the icy water, pulling the fishing net back.
“Okay.”
Wang Meng carried the net and joyfully ran back.
Feng Yi ran even faster, eager to get back to the camp, warm himself by the charcoal fire.
Lin Qingluo smiled and disappeared in a flash.

At dusk, smoke rose from the campsite, and the soldiers and civilians who had worked hard all day returned to their barracks to cook.
Ninth Lady Lin helped the cook in the kitchen, chopping meat, stewing fish, and preparing dinner for her exhausted family members.
Ninth Uncle Lin and his four nephews returned from the fields, laughing and joking, brushing off the dirt from their clothes, entering the stone house, and warming themselves by the brazier, relieving their fatigue from the day.
Lin Qingluo heard the laughter next door, carried Hunao, and walked over, lifting the curtain to enter the room.
“Little sister, Qingluo.”
The sight of Yuxue, a lovely little girl, brightened the eyes of the uncle and nephews as they showed their joy.
“Little sister, come sit by your Second Brother.”
Lin Jinxu considerately gave up his seat, inviting his sister to sit in front of the brazier.
“Hmm.”
Lin Qingluo gently smiled, carrying Hunao as she went over, enjoying her brother’s love and care.
“Qingluo, the sorghum seeds you planted a few days ago have sprouted.”
Ninth Uncle Lin touched his rough beard stubble, his mouth wide with joy.
“Under the grass mat, the newly emerged sprouts are delightful to look at.”
Lin Jinzhou was in high spirits, his eyes shining with excitement.
Lin Jinyun calmly spoke, “After fifteen years, I finally get to experience the joy of farming.”
“Hahaha.”
Lin Jinzhou laughed, “Fourth Brother, you really enjoy farming, don’t you?”
“Compared to going to war and fighting in bloodshed, I prefer the pleasure of the countryside.”
Lin Jinyun’s temperament was mild, and unlike Lin Jinzhou, who loved martial arts, he lacked some of the fierceness of a warrior and instead possessed the elegance of a scholar.
“Fourth Brother’s cooking is delicious too.”
Lin Qingluo smiled sweetly, joining in the conversation.
“If my little sister likes it, I’ll cook for you again when I have time.”
Hearing his little sister’s praise, Lin Jinyun’s eyes sparkled with joy, as if he had touched the sky.
“Qingluo, the master sent a letter saying that once the newly developed fields have sprouted, the army will withdraw, leaving only a thousand people to guard.”
Ninth Uncle Lin cheerfully brought up the matter at hand: “Also, some border residents who have heard about the seeds have come to the camp to ask for them. I’ve ordered people to register and verify the information, then distribute the seeds according to the size of their fields to prevent fraud and waste.”
“Hmm, Ninth Uncle, you did the right thing.”
Lin Qingluo wholeheartedly agreed with her uncle’s meticulous approach.
Each seed of spirit rice was precious, as it was the hope of the soldiers and civilians in the bitterly cold borderlands, to improve their lives.
There was no room for wastage.
“Also, Ninth Uncle, Jinxu, and the others thought that it would be inappropriate to leave the camp empty after the army withdrew, so they decided to invite the villagers from Guan’s border to live here.”
