Chapter 86: A Night of Wind and Rain

"You are the hardest! It's dark, the mountain road is bent and narrow, so you have to drive carefully!" Lu Yao reminded.

"Come on, I'm leaving!" With the roar of the motorcycle engine suddenly sounded, Chen Gong drove the Suzuki motorcycle to turn around in place, and as soon as he refueled, the motorcycle roared and drove quickly down the mountain, disappearing into the lychee forest in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yao returned to the yard, locked the iron gate, opened the chains of the two dogs, and shook the pole holding the barbed wire fence with both hands a few times, and after making sure it was stable, he returned to the front of the shack and saw A-Ying cleaning up the toys scattered on the ground.

After helping to carry the two strollers into the room, he went out of the tool room, put a hat and two coats hanging on the asbestos tiles into the tool room, and closed the door. He came to the kitchen door again, moved a large basket of vegetables into the kitchen, closed the window, and made sure that the dishes, chopsticks and cutlery were all stored in the cupboard, and then he walked out of the kitchen and closed the door.

"Lu Yao, everything is finished, let's rest early!" Ah Ying shouted after carrying the toy box into the room, standing at the door.

"Hey, you guys rest first, and I'll check if there's anything overlooked. Look at this celestial phenomenon, the wind and rain will definitely not be small in the future, you must close the doors and windows of the room!" Lu Yao said as he walked towards the barbed wire, he wanted to check whether the drainage ditch in front of the house and behind the house was unblocked.

Lu Yao circled around the shack, and after making sure that there were no safety hazards, he returned to the room, closed the door and prepared to rest.

He stretched out his hand to turn on the light switch behind the door, and saw a large cardboard box on the lower bunk near the door, which was also sealed with sealing glue, which seemed to be the statistics that Chen Gong said.

He took out a paper cutter from the drawer, carefully cut the seal, and opened the cardboard box, revealing two thick statistical books on it. He opened the ledger on it, and a sticky note fell out of the title page. He picked up the note and read it carefully, it was the statistical requirements written by Chen Gong, as well as the matters to be paid attention to. There are more than a dozen of them, all of which are easy to understand.

When he took out another statistical book, he saw that the cardboard box was neatly stacked with various data sheets and engineering drawings. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take out a stack of materials, walked to the desk and sat down, turned on the lamp and looked seriously. He was particularly interested in these engineering drawings, and he had long wanted to see how the roads, buildings, and greenery of the airport were designed.

At this moment, a gust of wind rattled the windows, and the few bills and drawings that were not pressed on the desk were eaten and flown all over the room.

He quickly stood up and closed the window, picked up the documents and drawings scattered in the room, sorted them out, and put them back in the cardboard box. In order to prevent the materials in the carton from being left behind, he also resealed the carton with sealing glue, and then carried it to the upper bunk and put it in the middle of the bunk.

Just as he walked to the edge of the bed and was ready to go to bed, he turned around and walked back, took down the cardboard box that had been placed on the top bunk, put it back in the middle of the lower bunk, and covered it with a piece of clothing. He was worried that the linoleum and asbestos roof of the shack would leak rain and wet the materials in the cardboard boxes.

When Lu Yao turned off the lights and was just lying on the bed, several thunderbolts suddenly exploded, shaking the whole room. The screams of children rang out in the next room, and they were awakened by the thunder.

The thunder was followed by a raging wind. The whirring wind rushed around the shack, like a monster roaring around the shack, ready to tear it down.

Suddenly, a burst of raindrops fell on the roof, crackling like countless beans poured on the roof.

Thunder, strong winds, and torrential rain wreaked havoc on this row of lonely shacks standing halfway up the mountainside, making Lu Yao, who grew up in the mountains, feel a trace of fear. I don't know if the mother and daughter in the next room are still asleep, if they are frightened.

At this time, the children's crying stopped, and it should be A-Ying who was comforting them.

Lu Yao got up, turned on the lights in the room, and carefully examined the roof and walls. Fortunately, the structure of the shack is very strong, and there are no traces of being torn by strong winds and leaking rain and water seepage, presumably the situation in the next room is the same as here.

Lu Yao turned off the light again and lay on the bed, falling asleep in a daze.

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, the alarm clock rang on time, and Lu Yao woke up immediately. He heard that the thunder had not abated, and that the rain had not abated, and it seemed that he could not work in the orchard to-day.

He got out of bed, turned on the light in his room, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

As soon as he pulled the latch of the door open, a strong wind carried raindrops the size of beans and hit him, and the skin on his face and hands was painful, and he quickly closed the door.

He returned to his desk, sat down on the stool, and carefully examined the situation in the room, but still found no rain and water leakage, and it seemed that the rain and water leakage of the shack was better than he thought.

He knew that at seven o'clock in the morning, the three older little girls would wake up to eat porridge, and he had to cook the porridge before half past six, and he had to put the porridge out to cool.

He searched around the room, but there was nothing to keep out the rain except the straw hat hanging behind the door. He now remembered the hat and coat that had been put into the tool room last night, and it would have been nice to put a set in this room.

Lu Yao sat in the room for another ten minutes, but still didn't feel the trend of the wind and rain weakening. He couldn't wait any longer, he had to go to the kitchen to make porridge and not let the children go hungry no matter what.

He buttoned up his clothes, walked to the back of the door, heard a strong wind just blowing, he immediately opened the door, flashed out, closed the door casually, and ran towards the door of the kitchen.

He ran to the kitchen door, opened it quickly, got in with a cat's waist, and closed the door with his backhand. Although the whole process took less than a minute, he was still soaked by the torrential rain carried by the strong wind.

Now that he couldn't care about this, he quickly turned on the electric light in the kitchen and began to wash rice and porridge.

An hour later, the porridge was cooked, and the last pot of cakes baked by Lu Yao was also out of the pot, but the wind and rain were still roaring, without the slightest intention of weakening.

Just when Lu Yao was anxious about how to deliver the porridge and pancakes to Ah Ying's room, Ah Ying's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Lu Yao, are you cooking porridge in it? I'm sending you a raincoat!"

"I'll open the door for you!" Lu Yao replied.

As soon as Lu Yao opened the door, A-Ying squeezed in through the crack in the door with the wind and rain, and she was still holding a black raincoat in her arms.
