Manor Romance

Chapter 216 Echoes
Xiaoya's crying woke up many people in the office building. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu came over with flashlights first. The two of them were not asleep at all, not because they were afraid, but because they were asleep when they were sleeping. Can't even hear the sound, don't even think about falling asleep in this environment.

This guy Xiaoya couldn't stop crying, Yunli and Lu Ci couldn't do anything, but Mrs. Gu had experience, and immediately went to make a cup of reassuring tea with honey and lotus seeds. After Xiaoya drank it, it really worked. Slowly calmed down, and soon fell asleep directly in Lu Ci's arms, but from time to time there would be a babbling sound in sleep, which was really similar to when the mute was talking anxiously.

The wind is erratic, and the night before the typhoon is sometimes silent, sometimes whistling, like a wayward child whose temper is elusive. Lu Ci chose the innermost room on the second floor of the office building to house Xiaoya. There is only one room facing north. The windows are less affected by the strong wind, and a few people have made some temporary sound insulation measures together. If there is no thunder and rain, the little guy should be able to sleep soundly tonight.

There was no backup power source in the manor, so they had to walk around with temporary lighting tools such as flashlights and mobile phones. Nor is it proper to be self-sufficient.

The electricity was cut off, and there was nothing for everyone to go to. The strong wind raged until the early morning and subsided a little, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Yun Li sensed the situation outside with his spiritual sense. He couldn't sense it either, so he found a random place in the small hall and fell asleep.

Maybe it was because she was tired from crying. Even though there were several gusts of wind at night, Xiaoya didn't wake up and cry all night, and woke up very early the next day, walking around with a pair of hazy, red and swollen eyes. Wandering around, I don't remember how I got here last night, and what I did.

The first time they went out, what they noticed was not the gray scene in the sky, but the unique beauty of the green carpet on the ground. This "green carpet" is composed of countless leaves that have been blown by the wind, and there are all kinds of plants. , There are even a lot of bamboo leaves in the Banlu Mountain in the distance, flying with the wind from the west, and falling to the open space in front of the office building, which shows how wild the gust of wind was last night.

There was no wind or rain in the morning, except for the gray dark clouds overhead, everything was the same as usual. The stuffy air was slightly subdued, but it was not cool. It felt like being locked in a closed space with a temperature between In the heat, you will sweat profusely after a few more movements, which makes you feel cramped and bored.

Although Yunli asked the employees to rest, Xu Lin and the others who didn't have any fields at home were worried about coming to the manor to have a look. Before the wind picked up, they went for a walk. There are different degrees of collapses, but they are not serious, and the situation is not too bad, but the most critical moment has not yet come, and everyone's hearts are still hanging in the air.

Everyone turned on the irrigation network as soon as they arrived, and vigorously watered the straw-like crops. They did the same thing last night before getting off work. Lu Ci was quite puzzled by this. The heavy rain is coming soon, so why bother? For irrigation, she thinks that the most important thing to guard against is flooding.

In fact, Yunli didn't understand the meaning of this move at the beginning, but after everyone explained it, he knew that this effort must not be spared.The cyclone of this typhoon is very special. The air pressure is so high that there has not been a drop of rain here for more than ten days. They water the crops not only to replenish water, but more importantly, to make the dry soil absorb water and soften it.

When the wind blows, whether the soil is hard or soft has a decisive effect on the fate of the crops. Hard soil is not elastic enough. When the wind blows, the roots are easily blown off directly, or the middle is blown off, and the loss is irreparable.But if it is soft soil, there will be room for rebound, which can greatly reduce the chance of being directly blown off. The crops are blown down but not hurt, and they can continue to grow after the typhoon is lifted up.

This is the trick that farmers have summed up in coping with natural disasters for many years. After listening to it, Yunli understood that he possesses supernatural powers and can do things that many people cannot achieve. However, in terms of farming experience and tricks, He still has a lot to learn from the villagers. Their ancestors have dealt with the land for generations, and the accumulated experience is a huge treasure house.

I don't know when the electricity will be restored. Everyone hurriedly turned on the TV to watch the latest weather conditions. Xu Jiali hurriedly prepared today's food in advance, because she didn't know when the electricity would go out again. If there was no lunch and dinner, they would It's not so easy to have a good meal, and it's always right to prepare early.

What Shen Biao was most worried about was the drainage capacity of the breeding network on Xiaolu Mountain. Even though he had made preparations, he asked Xu Ping to control the water level of the river flowing through Shanglu Village to a very low level. However, the breeding network was completed. I haven't been tested by heavy rainfall since then, so this time I can see how it works. Yunli also borrowed a few large water pumps from someone. Once flooding occurs, these big guys will come in handy.

Sure enough, as expected, before noon, they received a notice that there would be a power outage and water cut-off. The power supply was due to the overload of the county's power system last night, which caused several sets of power supply equipment to be overloaded and damaged. It only took one night for emergency repairs. To fix a part, after the decision of the superior, for the sake of safety, the power supply should be completely stopped first, and the supply will be resumed after the typhoon passes.

As for the water supply due to flood control considerations, all rivers in the county, including water intake points, must be kept at a low water level, so the supply can only be suspended, but the relevant departments did not do a good job of notification beforehand, and acted out of temporary judgment. As a result, everyone did not make corresponding preparations, and life was quite inconvenient, but the situation was special, and no one was too entangled in this.

As time went by, the clouds in the sky became thicker and darker, and near noon, the strong wind hit again. At that time, everyone was cooking noodles with a gas stove in the hall, when they heard "huhu" outside the window. The sound seemed to be louder than last night.

Looking out of the window, you can see various objects being blown into the air by the strong wind, most of them are leaves and twigs, and the wind direction is erratic, even if an adult stands outside, it is estimated that it will be blown hard, or even rolled up air.

Not long after noon, the raindrops began to fall sparsely, indicating that a tropical cyclone was coming soon. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, dark clouds floated from the south at a speed visible to the naked eye. The torrential rain fell like a shower head with the switch turned off , It almost fell in a line from the sky, blocking people's sight all at once.

In such an environment, even Yunli's sensing ability is greatly limited, and it is impossible to detect the situation outside. This violent storm is estimated to last for a long time, and manpower cannot resist it, so everyone obediently stays in the office building and waits. The wind stopped and the rain stopped.

Due to the power outage, all electrical appliances are unusable, and there is no Internet, but everyone is not bored at all. They either drink tea and chat, or play cards for entertainment. Shen Hong and her mother Xu Yan made a variety of small fruits picked yesterday. There are also preserved fruits and dried apricots that Yunli likes very much. You can taste them in a short time. Everyone is familiar with typhoons, and they have experienced this situation a lot. They know that it is useless to worry about it. Why don’t you use your spare time to find some? Little things to do.

In Xiaoya's memory, it was the first time that she truly felt this kind of natural power. She might have encountered a typhoon before, but she was too young to remember much. Maybe it was because she had been with Yunli a lot. Lightning and thunder are not very scary. I lie on the window of the small hall and watch the rain. When I see lightning, I will remind everyone and cover my ears. The rumbling thunder will always follow, let the little ones play. It was such a joy.

Lightning and thunder became more and more frequent, and several of them fell on the range of the manor. Yunli was worried about the condition of the old iron trees in the yard, so he braved the wind and rain to return to the bamboo building. They are all things with supernatural abilities, and they have their own coping skills in such a harsh environment, otherwise they would not live for hundreds or thousands of years.

When Yunli was about to leave and go back to the office building, something happened that was very different from usual. It was unbearably commotion with the thunder and lightning, and it kept emitting weak energy, and it was in the direction of Banlu Mountain. Yunli noticed that After coming to this situation, I thought about it several times, and finally decided to venture into the mountains. If I promised Lu Ci that he would not mess around, it would be impossible to keep it.

I don’t know what risks there will be in this trip, but this time he has to go. After leaving a note on the table, he put on a raincoat and bamboo hat woven from bamboo and sugarcane leaf husks, braving the wind The torrential rain headed for the mountains.

For ordinary people, let alone walking in this environment, they can't even take a few breaths, and they will be swallowed by wind and rain in a short time. If the electromagnetic force has not been cultivated to the current state before, Yunli will never be able to breathe. I dare not take this risk, but now both physical fitness and the use of electromagnetic force can be used to overcome this frenzied environment.

He specially picked the place where the forest belt was planted, and the trees would help him resist the first wave of impact, making his progress smoother. Along the way, he also observed the situation in the farmland by the way. The cherry tomato plants have trellises There is no problem with the protection, and the water level in the breeding network is also at a normal level. As long as it does not rain continuously for two or three days, the problem is probably not big.

What made him feel sad was that the fruits on many fruit trees were knocked down, and the ripe green ones were hard to escape, especially the persimmon trees. Persimmons ripen late, and the season is usually around the Mid-Autumn Festival. A large number of fruits were blown down by the wind and rain and scattered in the mud. It was a pity for anyone looking at it. The only thing that was fortunate was that the fruit trees were not in serious condition. How many.
