[System: Host, calm down, calm down. This is a cockroach recording and communication device. It was designed this way because carrier pigeons are too conspicuous, so cockroaches were chosen instead.]
Lin Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Lin Jinyue took a closer look at the cockroach.
This is so lifelike, it's creepy to look at.
Especially since the recording button was on the cockroach's body, Lin Jinyue found it quite difficult to reach it.
[Lin Jinyue: System, didn't you say you'd arrange everything perfectly for me? You promised I wouldn't be disappointed. Why did you send me a cockroach? That's a bit too disgusting...]
[System: You want cost-effectiveness, speed, and affordability; this is the only option. The design fees for other designs like fireflies, butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds are too high.]
Lin Jinyue was speechless for a moment.
Not to mention her, even the men in the village couldn't stand it.
Lin Fugui's scalp tingled: "Er Ya, well, how about we think of another way..."
Liu Dazhuang: "It's just a life, I'm willing to risk it!"
Lin Jinyue: "There's no need for that..."
Lin Jinyue said to them, "This is just an artificially made insect, like an artificial snake. It's not aggressive. Well, let's just make do with it."
Finally, the group stared at the insect for a long time before they recovered.
Lin Fugui reached out and pressed it.
A mechanical voice announced: "Recording has begun. Press the button when finished."
All the men in the room stood up and took a few steps back, almost tripping over their chairs.
Lin Jinyue was also startled.
[System: You can add 500 taels of silver to exchange for a dragonfly appearance, or add 2000 taels of silver to exchange for a hummingbird, blue robin, etc. (the process will be faster).]
Lin Jinyue sighed; it seemed that the money had to be spent.
Lin Jinyue chose a bird that is very common in Lingnan, which is basically impossible to use as a messenger. Moreover, it is a recording bird, which is clever enough not to be caught by people, and it is also quite convenient.
Lin Jinyue has recently spent a lot of money on infrastructure projects, leaving her with less than five thousand taels of silver in her account.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and bought the bird.
Several grown men were absolutely smitten with the adorable blue robin, constantly poking its paws.
Despite her playful and carefree nature, Lin Jinyue remained remarkably serious when it came to business.
Lin Jinyue then said, "Keeping a close eye on the situation all the time is risky, I'm worried..."
Liu Dazhuang said directly, "We have people here in Lingnan, so we can rest assured. I am willing to stay here. We don't need too many people, just two will be enough. The other person doesn't need to show up. If something happens to me, he can still reply."
Lin Jinyue also had the same plan.
However, almost everyone in the village who knew about the system was considered her family.
We've been through thick and thin together, and we've worked together to build up the village.
If something really happens to me...
Lin Jinyue simply couldn't bear to think about it.
Seeing her hesitation, Liu Dazhuang said directly, "Yueyue, if you're willing to tell the villagers this, not only me, but everyone in the village will agree."
They could have all died on the road.
It was through mutual support among the villagers that they got to this point. Even if it was for the sake of the village, they felt that leaving one person here to keep an eye on things would be good, even if they died, as long as they could send a message via the recording bird before they died.
So if you go back and ask anyone in the village, they will all want to stay in the prefectural city.
Moreover, they are not ungrateful. General Gu has been so good to them, helping them settle down and making money for their village.
If it weren't for such a large military order, their village would definitely be even poorer now.
Whether for the sake of the village or for General Gu, they had reasons to stay.
Lin Jinyue did want to.
She's the most suitable candidate. Buy her a pass so her dad can freely enter and leave the farm.
When she encounters danger, she can hide inside the farm and communicate with her father in a timely manner.
It's a pity that if she weren't here, there wouldn't have been enough time to build the orders and the weapons for the village.
Time flows five times faster on the farm than outside.
They are now working tirelessly to make leather armor and weapons for the soldiers in Lingnan, and are desperately developing new weapons; what they lack most is time.
Lacking sufficient funds, they could only rely on Lin Jinyue to send them to the space.
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you guys keep an eye on things for now. I don't think we can win in the meantime. You keep an eye on General Gu, and when things get really critical, I'll take over."
The farm is directly linked to her. Others have a time limit for staying there, followed by a cooldown period, but Lin Jinyue doesn't have so many restrictions. She can stay on the farm forever.
When necessary, the system will also help detect if anyone is outside.
Even though everyone was worried about her safety, Lin Jinyue finally made the decision.
As they were about to leave, Lin Jinyue took out the letter written by Ye Feng and said to the shopkeeper, "Find someone trustworthy to deliver this letter to Marquis Yong'an."
The heir of the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion has gone missing; they must be frantically searching for him.
The shopkeeper was a former servant of the Ji family. His wife and children are still working in Yunhe Village, so they are not afraid of him causing trouble.
Only after the shopkeeper said he could deliver it did Lin Jinyue return to the village.
Liu Dazhuang and her father stayed here to see how things went.
Lin Jinyue, along with Lin Fugui, also took her brother back with them.
*
Back in the village, Ye Feng immediately asked, "Did you see General Gu? He... probably didn't have time to come, right?"
Ye Feng used all his intelligence on romance.
Lin Jinyue didn't know what to say for a moment.
She then said, "The situation in the prefectural city has changed. General Gu is restricted in many ways in Guangcheng and cannot come for the time being."
