Chapter 377: Trapped at Home by Snow (2/5)
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
In the fireplace, which is more than six meters long, the fire is blazing.
A circle of sofas was placed on the carpet around the fireplace, red tongues of fire licked the dark charcoal, pine resin burned and crackled sparks, and the stone walls glowed with a black glow after years of smoke and fire.
The living room was filled with the peculiar scent of pine, and Daddy, dressed like himself, if not thicker, was talking to Attorney Clark.
He walked over and asked, "Good morning, Mr. Clark, there is no need for court today?"
"Yes, the traffic in Great Rapids City was paralyzed, and the roof of the judge's house was crushed by the snow, so it was postponed for two days to hear the case, and if the snow did not stop, it was estimated that it would be delayed even further. ”
Dad's face was not very good-looking, and he covered his stomach with his hands and drank a few cups of warm yogurt, probably because he drank too much wine last night.
The bodyguards are like refugees, wrapped in quilts and sleeping in the corner, only Owen is still dozing and holding on, looking at the time, shaking George to change shifts, no one will come out in this weather, the snowflakes are the biggest guarantee, they can rarely relax, but the snoring is too noisy, one after another.
"Son, today we have lost a lot of money on our pasture, more than 100 vegetable sheds in the vegetable plantation have been crushed by snow, and they have dusted off the snow at night, but there are not enough people, and the snow is faster than the dusting.
The heavy snow plastic film can not be supported, after the collapse, all the vegetables inside are frozen to death, just now the wires were also broken, and now the entire ranch is out of power, and the vegetable greenhouse must rely on the insulation lamp to keep warm, Lewis said that the temperature in the vegetable shed has dropped to minus seven degrees, and it is estimated that all the vegetables in this season will freeze to death. ”
The boy's dad tone was depressed. Thousands of acres of vegetable fields, which means millions or even tens of millions of dollars in losses, are too high anyway to be too lazy to calculate.
Han Xuan asked, "What about the cattle and sheep?"
"They were fine, and the old Barton arranged for someone to go to the roof to sweep the snow a few times in the evening, and it was built with that in mind. Nothing has happened yet.
However, more than a dozen sheep were frozen to death, and more than 20 cattle died, which is only found so far, and it is okay to freeze to death, and now the internal organs are emptied and put in the cold storage, and after the inspection, they are kept in the canteen to eat......"
Stand by the window.
It was dark, the snowflakes had no tendency to stop, and the visibility was less than twenty meters.
A few pine trees sporadically showed a little greenery, and the fountain in the garden was completely frozen. Countless sagging crystalline icicles were formed, which were crushed by the snow and fell with a loud sound.
There was snow all over the eyes, birch forests, Lake Rota, and nothing could be seen.
The car that Attorney Clark and Dani drove last night now has only one roof, and you can guess by its shape that it is a car, and the snow is almost as thick as the windowsill, that is, almost a meter.
This kind of weather people can only be stuck at home. In the past, there were cowboys who would sweep the snow, but this time they couldn't. I can only wait for it to stop and then figure out a way.
There is no electricity in the villa, so the central air conditioning is also stopped, the orange fire lights up the whole living room, Joanna found out that it was snowing last night and went to carry the wood, there is a lot of accumulation next to the stove, so there is no need to worry about heating for the time being. She wiped the black ash from her face and smiled, "I'll help you prepare breakfast, we've eaten." ”
"Thanks, what about Pooh?" Han Xuan looked around and didn't see the animals, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
"They're fine. In the warehouse, I added a stove to them in the middle of the night, and was about to add wood, when I found that Pooh himself would throw it into the fire, and this guy was getting smarter, and if he wanted to go through the small door. ”
Han Xuan nodded, walked through the corridor to the small door on the south side, which could lead directly to the garage and warehouse, which was usually used not many times, and was locked all year round.
Pushing open the door, Pooh sat in the quilt and wrapped himself in a blanket, and various animals scattered around the stove.
Obama, who had experienced the cold of Montana for the first time, was a little chilly, and when he saw him come in, he whined and complained.
Like it, there are two red pandas, close to Pooh's big stove to keep warm, sleeping soundly, McDull wrapped a few layers of blankets, sticking out his tongue to eat the fruit on the ground, the hairy cow is fine, lying next to the stove and ruminating, Jenny turtle has hibernated, does not need warm facilities, and sleeps with his eyes closed......
There was not much space in this small warehouse, so the temperature was higher than in the house, and Pooh saw that the fire had become smaller, and threw two more pieces of firewood into it, and the splashed sparks fell on McDull, so frightened that it screamed, got up and shook vigorously, and its two long ears dangled and looked crazy.
Facing the questioning eyes of the mini donkey, Pooh lay back blankly, wrapped in the quilt, it was also in the season of hibernation, but it could still hold it at this temperature, roared at Han Xuan in a low voice, and began to sleep.
Seeing that they were fine, Han Xuan said to McDull: "Come to me when the fire is out, I will leave the door open." ”
McDull nodded wisely and closed her eyes as well.
In the living room, Dad was putting down the phone, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Barton asked people to sweep out a passage and feed the cattle and sheep."
The water in the trough froze, and it had to be boiled to feed them with warm water, which was a lot of work, and the old cowshed collapsed a few times, and the sheepfold was also somewhat crushed, and many Merino sheep were injured.
I haven't encountered such urgent snow for many years, the milk powder factory is suspended, and people are being arranged to repair the circuit, and when the weather is clear, I will replace all the power poles and bury them in the ground, and the construction of the manure treatment plant will also be delayed. ”
Han Xuan said: "Let's minimize the loss, the vegetables can be replanted when they are gone, and the infrastructure is well protected, so it will only take a few months."
The manure water will not stink when it is so cold, so find a place to pile it up first, and then deal with it when the snow stops. ”
"Well, that's what I said to Old Barton, I'm going to call the state weather bureau to see when this snow will stop, and if it goes on like this, the house will be almost buried."
Joanna made a sandwich and brought it over, and saw Dani coming downstairs with her hair disheveled, wrapped in a quilt, and sneezing from time to time, and said with a smile: "I'll go get my cotton clothes for you, breakfast is ready, let's eat first." ”
"I don't have an appetite, I get dressed first, and it's too cold. Dani muttered, snot hanging to her lips, sucking it back hard, pulling out a piece of paper and wring it clean, trotting to the stove and sitting on the couch, "The power has gone out, the air conditioning has stopped, and my quilt is still on the floor, and I am awakened by freezing." ”
"Hmm. Clark put his hand on her head, feeling a little hot, "Fever?"
"There is an emergency medicine kit at home, I will help you take your temperature, and if it doesn't work, take some medicine. ”
Hearing Joanna's words, Dani just wanted to refuse, but said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Han Xuan picked up the sandwich and took a bite, looked at her speechlessly, and heard his father surprised that he couldn't stop for a while, so he turned his head to look out the window, the snow had increased a lot in such a short time, and the sky was still gloomy, and it really didn't look like he was going to stop.
Fat Ding ran downstairs quickly, jumped on the sofa and shivered, and looked at Han Xuan complainingly, this guy went to the attic without closing the window, and froze to death the cat
