Chapter 13 Bird Signalman

Siming waved his hand: "If we go out now, even if we get some information, we will miss the best time to come back."

"Then can we only wait?" Adjutant Qi frowned.

"Think of other ways and ask when the telephone line can be repaired." Siming ordered.

When Juanjuan woke up, she saw Siming sitting in the study, frowning as he looked at the documents on the table.

She peeked in from outside the door, not daring to go in and disturb him.

When Siming looked up, he saw a little man curiously sticking half of his head out and looking at him.

The originally somewhat irritable mood was instantly soothed: "What are you standing there for?"

Juanjuan moved her little feet and stood at the door: "I'm afraid of disturbing Dad."

Siming waved at her: "Come here."

Juanjuan ran over with her short legs and stood beside him: "Dad, are you unhappy?"

"No! I'm just thinking about something." Si Ming bent down and hugged her to sit on his lap.

Juanjuan stretched her neck and saw a pile of documents on the table. She couldn't understand what was written on them.

"Juanjuan, when your brother gets better in a couple of days, can you learn to read with him?" Siming put his chin on her furry little head.

She felt a weight on her head and looked up to see his angular jawline. "Was it difficult?"

Siming looked down at her wrinkled little face and said, "It's hard to say, but once you learn to read, you will understand more in the future."

"Okay then! Juanjuan will study hard." Juanjuan was a little discouraged. She was afraid of difficult things.

Si Ming rubbed her furry little head. After raising her for a while, the child finally gained some weight. Her hair was still a little yellow, but not so ugly anymore.

Adjutant Qi walked in at this time and saw Juanjuan hesitating whether to speak.

"Speak!" the governor said to Adjutant Qi.

"I just asked, and the communication cannot be restored in a short time. We need to find another way to contact the troops stationed outside." Adjutant Qi stood still after saying this.

"Dad, do you want to pass on a message?" Juanjuan turned around and looked up at him.

"Yes, Dad has brothers outside, and your third uncle. I'm a little worried that I can't contact them now." Si Ming didn't know why he told her this.

Juanjuan jumped off his legs and ran towards the balcony outside the study, looking up at the sky.

Siming and Adjutant Qi thought she was just a child and didn't pay much attention to it.

But after a while, they couldn't help but care.

Adjutant Qi was facing the balcony. His eyes were wide open as he looked at a flock of birds flying outside, his mouth opened into an O shape.

Siming felt that the light in the room suddenly dimmed, and when he turned around, he was startled.

However, his first reaction was to run to the balcony, pick up Juanjuan, and close the glass window of the balcony to avoid hurting her.

Juanjuan was confused, looking at the two men who were nervously drawing their guns: "Dad."

"Juanjuan, don't be afraid. If these birds rush in, just find a place to hide." Siming calmed her down.

"Why did the little bird rush in?" Juanjuan was puzzled.

"They are all flying towards us!" Adjutant Qi said without turning his head.

"They are here to help Dad." Juanjuan looked at the two of them and said seriously.

"What did you say?" Siming looked down at Juanjuan.

"The little birds are here to help Dad. They said they can help Dad deliver the letter!" Juanjuan blinked her big eyes.

Adjutant Qi looked out the window and saw that the birds were really just perched on the balcony and trees outside, with no intention of rushing in.

"Miss, are they here to help?"

Juanjuan nodded seriously.

The housekeeper and the others also ran up at this time: "General, for some reason, there are suddenly a lot of birds in the yard."

"It's okay. I had people trained to deliver messages. I thought the phone wouldn't work, but now that the phone lines have been downed by the heavy snow, it's come in handy."

"I just asked Adjutant Qi to let them out so they can find their way."

Adjutant Qi immediately said, "Yes, that's it."

After Siming finished speaking, he let them go.

Madam Si and Si Tian just smiled faintly, looking at the confused Juanjuan, as if they knew what was going on.

"Since everything is fine, you can go ahead and do your work. I'll close the door for you." Mrs. Si said as she closed the door of the study.

Siming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw them leave. The matter was finally resolved. "Juanjuan, tell Dad how these little birds can help deliver the letter."

Juanjuan ran to the balcony and looked at the little bird: "Little bird, how can you help?"

"Chirp. To write a letter, just tie it to our feet and tell us the address and name." A little gray bird was standing on the balcony, combing its feathers.

Siming and Adjutant Qi just watched as one spoke softly and the other chattered.

After Juanjuan understood the situation, she turned around and ran back: "Dad, the birds said that if I write a letter and tie it to their feet, I just need to tell them the place and the person's name."

She spoke such a long string of words at once and was breathing heavily.

Siming looked at Adjutant Qi and said, "Try writing a letter."

"Who is it written to?" Adjutant Qi looked confused.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can reply." Si Ming didn't disbelieve Juanjuan, it was just that it was a little too unbelievable.

Adjutant Qi scratched his head, picked up the pen and letter paper, thought for a long time, and only wrote a line: I am Qi Siming, please reply to me when you see it.

He looked at the size of the bird outside, cut the paper into a very small piece, rolled it up, found two pieces of string and walked towards a bird.

I stood there for a long time, not knowing where to start.

Finally, the bird couldn't bear it anymore, so it stretched out its claws and handed them to him, chirping at him twice.

"Uncle Qi, Xiaoniao told you to hurry up because your feet are sore." Juanjuan said, holding Siming's hand.

Adjutant Qi is now afraid that if he tightens the tie, it will hurt the bird. If he tightens it too loosely, it might fall off along the way, wouldn’t that be a waste of effort?

After struggling for a long time, he finally tied it up. The bird flew up, pecked him on the head lightly, chirped twice, and then flew away.

Adjutant Qi covered his head and turned to look at Juanjuan: "Miss, what did it just say?"

Juanjuan blinked her big watery eyes: "It said you are too stupid."

"Hahaha!" Siming couldn't help laughing.

Adjutant Qi is usually very respected when he goes out, but this is the first time he has been despised for being stupid by a bird.

"Commander-in-Chief." Adjutant Qi looked at him sadly.

"Okay, just wait patiently!" Si Ming pulled Juanjuan to sit on the sofa beside him, waiting for the bird to come back.

Adjutant Qi was standing on the balcony, looking into the distance from time to time.

The place it was sent to isn't far away, so why hasn't it come back yet? Could it have been beaten?

Not that unlucky!
