Chapter 46: The Rainstorm is Coming
July 8th.
The sky was a little dark this morning, the morning was like dusk, the streets were full of wild winds, and it seemed that the annual heavy rain was coming.
Cheng Yun quickly ran to the roof of the building and began to collect the clothes, plus the sheets and quilt covers that were dried yesterday, and it took several trips to collect them.
After collecting his clothes, he went back to the roof to blow the wind, and the rooftop was completely different from the previous days.
The flowers and plants that the old man planted last night have all grown today!
I saw that the four flower beds in the corner were all blooming with delicate flowers, and each flower bed had several kinds of flowers, arranged neatly. Among the flowers, there are beautiful and unique ornamental plants, some like succulents, some like pines, some like a miniature tree, and some strange shapes that Cheng Yun has never seen.
The dead tree in the middle flower bed had been dug up by Cheng Yun and replaced by another small tree less than a meter high. The twigs are black, the leaves are red and bloody, and the trees bear many small fruits the size of strawberries that are also bright red. The tree was full of fruit seedlings, and I didn't know what the fruit would look like.
Even the small fish pond was re-filled with water by Cheng Yun, with some aquatic plants planted in the water, a layer of green moss-like plants on the rockery, scattered and scattered bamboo-like small trees, and two miniature bonsai next to it, which looked like a real mountain.
Just looking at this scene made Cheng Yun feel relaxed and happy!
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he turned around and saw the old man standing behind him, on crutches.
"Are you leaving?" he asked.
"No, I'll leave at ten. The old man shook his head, looked up at the sky, and said, "The rainstorm is coming soon, and many of the flowers you chose yesterday are quite fragile." I'm afraid I just planted them yesterday and today they've been ravaged by the rainstorm. ”
"So you're up and cast spells on them?"
"No, I'm here to warn you to build a shelter for them. ”
"Okay. Cheng Yun shrugged his shoulders and didn't feel disappointed, he was thinking about how he could protect these precious and delicate plants just now.
The old master walked to a few flower beds next to each other to look at the growth of the plants, and finally nodded, and said, "All of them are still growing quite well, only the four seasons trees showed their autumn form in midsummer in advance, which should also be caused by the sudden drop in temperature last night and I used the birth spell again." ”
"Four seasons trees. Cheng Yun walked to the edge of the Four Seasons Tree and reached out to pick a fruit: "This can be eaten, right?"
"It's all edible. The old man smiled slightly, "I don't dare to give it to you if it's poisonous." ”
"Does this have any effect?" Cheng Yun brought the small fruit close to his nose and sniffed it gently, only to feel a soft and fragrant fragrance coming to his nose. It's a bit like a mix of strawberries and pineapple, but it's even better, and smelling it early in the morning feels like you're in a good mood for the day.
"Efficacy?"
"Well, that's the effect. ”
"It tastes good. The old man said.
"Eh, what else?" Cheng Yun was a little embarrassed.
"It has a lot of water and quenches thirst. The old master paused as he spoke, and then continued, "If you eat too much, you can satisfy hunger, but this tree is estimated to be only enough for you to eat one meal." ”
"I didn't mean that, I meant to say...... Isn't this a plant in the magic world?isn't there anything ...... about the fruits of the plants in the magic world?" Cheng Yun was a little embarrassed, and pulled the corners of his mouth before saying, "For example, to improve qualifications, quickly replenish physical strength and mana, or can it be used as a special function such as a bomb explosion when throwing it out during battle?"
"No!" the old man looked indifferent, "I can only replenish my physical strength, because it contains a lot of sugar, but it can also replenish a lot of trace elements, but you can't feel it." ”
"What about the other fruit-bearing plants?" Cheng Yun asked without giving up.
"It's all the same, only the taste, moisture and nutrients. The old master was a little speechless, and at the end he said, "The same is true of the rest of the flowers, whose medicinal value is almost non-existent to you." The only other effect is that it is ornamental, smells fragrant, and the special ability is that it can be opened all the time. ”
"......" Cheng Yun only felt extremely disappointed.
"This rainstorm will last for four days, so you better be careful during these three days. As he spoke, the old man turned and walked downstairs, "I'll go down and prepare some things first." ”
"Are you sure it will last for four days?" Cheng Yun asked subconsciously, but when he asked, he felt that something was wrong - what a magical power the old man was, since he said that it would last for four days, it would definitely not be wrong!
He planned to go out for a big meal in a few days, and he had agreed with Yu Dian a few days ago! Although the little girl Yu Dian may not have taken it seriously, he couldn't just turn his head and forget it!
However, the old master shook his head and looked up at the sky: "It should be, anyway, the weather forecast says so." ”
"Weather Forecast ......"
The old master went down slowly, leaving Cheng Yun alone on the roof of the building. He stood for a while, then greedily picked two more fruits to eat, and then ran quickly downstairs.
Coincidentally, Cheng Yan had just gotten up.
"Clothes are gone?" asked Cheng Yan, who had obviously seen the weather today.
"Accepted. Cheng Yun said, just about to leave, he stopped and said to Cheng Yan, "You go to the front desk to help me guard first, I'll go out to buy something, do you want to eat anything in the morning, I'll bring it back to you when I see it by the way." ”
"What are you going out to buy?" Cheng Yan frowned.
"Film. ”
"I want to eat pot kui, the one at the small north gate. Cheng Yan said, "Bring an umbrella." ”
"It won't be down for a while!"
Cheng Yun pushed open the door in a hurry and often ran.
It didn't take long for him to buy a few films, each five or six meters long, and bring a few shelves.
Of course, there is also Cheng Yan's pot and everyone's breakfast.
"This is the film you bought?" Cheng Yan stared at the pile of transparent plastic films he carried, only to see that these films were thin and thick, a bit like an enlarged version of plastic wrap, very wide, folded up and put into plastic bags, which are generally used by rural people to build Dapeng or send seedlings.
"Hmm. ”
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing that the wind outside was getting stronger and cooler, Cheng Yun didn't dare to answer her, and directly put down the breakfast and ran upstairs: "The breakfast is on the table, you eat first." If I haven't come down after eating, you can help me keep watch for a while, I still have something to do!"
Cheng Yan nodded, picked up the pot and nibbled on it.
A few days ago, the hotel received a lot of things, and also left a lot of cardboard boxes, large and small, disassembled and paved is cardboard. Of course, these cardboards can't stop the rainstorm for several days, but the rainstorm in Jinguan City is actually only relatively speaking, far less exaggerated than in the news, as long as a thin plastic film is wrapped in these cardboards, even if it is not enough to block the rain in the past few days, it will not leak much.
Cheng Yun's idea is to build a shelf by the guardrail by the flower bed first, which can be used with tables and plastic benches, and then build a shelf if there is no way. Then cover it with a thick film, and use cardboard coated with film where necessary, which can transmit light and keep out the rain.
The most troublesome thing is fixing!
There is rarely heavy rain in the Jinguan Plain, but the wind blows during the heavy rain in summer, and if it is not fixed well, the wind will fall apart as soon as it blows!
So Cheng Yun brought a lot of tools, not only tape, nails, and even a small electric drill.
These flowers are not only the brainchild of the old man, but also unique in this world, Cheng Yun feels that since they have come to this world, they can't live for a day or two.
About twenty minutes later, a muffled thunder rang overhead, pierced his ears, and shook the earth!
Syllable!
A raindrop the size of a bean hit Cheng Yun's head.
At this time, he had only set up two shelves, and was building a third, and even if he put aside the flower beds and small fish ponds in the middle, he would have to work for at least twenty minutes.
But since the first raindrop hit him, the rain fell heavily almost in the blink of an eye, falling densely from the sky, hitting the floor with a rattling sound, and for a time there seemed to be countless beaded curtains hanging in the air.
The rooftop floor was instantly wet.
Cheng Yun was stunned, took off his clothes, and continued to work.
Not long after, an umbrella came from behind him, shielding him from a lot of rain.
Cheng Yun looked up and saw that it was a black umbrella. Turning his head again, he saw Cheng Yan standing behind him in a white shirt, she was holding a small floral umbrella in one hand, and a small plastic bag was hooked with her little thumb to contain a bag of fried dumplings, and the other hand was holding the big black umbrella to protect him from the rain.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Yan looked at him with a frown.
"Build a shed. Cheng Yun's eyelashes were covered with water droplets, which affected his eyesight, so he reached out and wiped the rain on his face, but his hair was already soaked, and his hair continued to drip down, and soon his face was wet again.
"Where do these flowers come from?"
"Bought it, bought it yesterday. ”
"It's pretty good. Cheng Yan said, and then asked, "What kind of flowers are these?" ”
"Don't talk about it, you can help me hold the umbrella first, I estimate it will be done in more than ten minutes. Cheng Yun hurriedly changed the topic. He knew that Cheng Yan's curiosity and desire for knowledge were very strong, and it was this that created her far beyond ordinary people's knowledge reserves, so if he didn't change the topic, and he couldn't answer or perfunctory, Cheng Yan would most likely try to find out what kind of flowers these flowers were.
After about a few minutes, Yin Nuxia also came up with an umbrella, she looked at Cheng Yun with blank eyes, and said, "Stationmaster, I'll help you!"
"No, I'm almost done. ”
After setting up a shed for the four flower beds in the corner, and then erecting a few pieces of cardboard to block the wind for the small fish pond, Cheng Yun also checked the sturdiness of the shed, and after a few minutes of tinkering, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tools and walked to the building.
"Doesn't the one in the middle match?" asked Yin Nuxia.
"That's okay. Cheng Yun asked the old master, the four-season tree is very strong and not easy to be uprooted or blown off, while the other fruit seedlings are also very low and durable, and they are not easy to be damaged.
"Oh. Yin Nuxia stood in the building, curiously put away the umbrella in her hand, and then pressed the button on the umbrella handle, and the umbrella automatically popped up and opened, and then she showed an expression of 'wow, so amazing and fun'.
An automatic umbrella made her have a lot of fun.
"The umbrella in the room is not tall. Cheng Yun rolled her eyes, she made the floor full of water.
"I don't have to grow any longer, I've grown tall enough. The one-meter-five-fifty Yin woman continued to play with the umbrella, and subconsciously said without raising her head.
"Poof!" Cheng Yan chuckled, and couldn't help but lower his head and glance at her.
Yin Nuxia's movements froze suddenly, she obviously felt Cheng Yan's gaze, and looked up at Cheng Yan.
At that moment, a spark burst out of her eyes!
Cheng Yan quickly retracted his gaze, handed the fried dumplings in his hand to Cheng Yun, and said, "Okay, go back to the room and flush it yourself, and then put on my clothes......!
