Back in the house, the dining table had already been cleaned up, and everyone was sitting scattered on the sofa in the living room, each holding a bottle of beer in their hands, looking in the direction of the back door with a stunned face - the screen of the back door was still swaying, and then they all turned their heads to look at Lu Li with blank faces. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong with her?" asked Jessica, stammering a little.

Teddy was originally lying on the floor of the living room, and when he saw Lu Li coming back, he immediately stood up and greeted him, Lu Li touched Teddy's head, and said with a smile, "She got some inspiration, I've been wondering, is it true that artists are all like this? Fred was like this before, and suddenly he jumped up and screamed, and then hid in the corner and started to get busy." When I first met him, I thought he was crazy. ”

"Hey, man. Fred immediately protested.

Randy sat next to him and laughed, "Fred has been acting normally tonight, not looking like an artist at all. ”

Fred raised his hand and smashed the tissue in his hand at Randy, "You mean, I have to show it?"

Randy scrambled to cover it up, causing everyone else to laugh, and Lu Li walked in the direction of the refrigerator, and Cole's voice came from his ears, "We better pray that Fred on the dark side doesn't show up." Otherwise, the house will all be demolished, just like the Hulk. Fred couldn't resist the ridiculous words, and everyone clapped and laughed.

Lu Li stopped, turned around and said, "It seems that you guys are getting along well, what are you talking about?"

Fred nodded in affirmation, and then laughed heartily, "I'm complaining, I've known you for so long, and you have never cooked a meal for me, showing off your skills, it really makes me sad." ”

Texans are not good at words and are highly xenophobic, but Cloud Ranch is obviously different, Randy is a chatterbox, Cole is warm and friendly, Jessica is cheerful and bright, only Brandon seems to be a real Texan. However, when it comes to tonight's dinner, everyone instantly finds a common topic.

Lu Li opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of beer, "Ha, so are you jealous?" Don't worry, if you like it, I can cook for the next period of time." However, my salary as a chef is quite high, are you mentally prepared?"

Walking to the sofa in the living room, Cole and Fred moved their positions to make room for Lu Li, but before Lu Li sat down, Brandon frowned, "It's windy." ”

"What do you want?" Fred looked disgusted, but after he finished speaking, he turned to look at Brandon diagonally opposite, and said incomprehensibly, "Isn't it normal to be windy?"

Then Fred looked at Lu Li in confirmation, but Lu Li also shrugged his shoulders blankly.

"Shhhh Jessica made a gesture, and the noise in the hall suddenly stopped, and if she listened closely, she could hear the sound of the branches outside the window, the sound of the wind was clearly audible, and she could vividly paint in her mind the appearance of the beech forest making a loud noise, and even the glass windows of the house began to rattle, as if the house would be torn apart at any moment.

“…… Is this a tornado?" Lu Li asked in a low voice, he had heard of the dangers of tornadoes here in Texas, but he had never seen them so far.

"Probably not. Randy shook his head in denial.

"What's going on?" This was the first time Lu Li had encountered such a situation, and he was also a little dazed.

"Why do we whisper?" Fred asked, lowering his body as well.

"Shhhhh

"Heavy rain. Brandon opened his mouth to speak, he didn't realize that he was like Lu Li, speaking in a low voice, after speaking, he couldn't help but clear his throat and said again, "The rainstorm is coming." ”

Heavy rain, this is the first time Lu Li has encountered it since he came to the ranch. "Is there anything I need to pay attention to when the rainstorm comes?" Lu asked, and the first thing that came to his mind was the organic farm, which was exposed to the outdoors.

Randy looked calm, "Don't worry, the farm will be fine." ”

Unexpectedly, Cole stood up directly, "The sheepfold is in danger." ”

"What danger......" Before Lu Li's words were finished, a lightning bolt sounded outside, and the bright lightning slid across the sky, illuminating the entire sky into daylight, and then thunder rumbled over, as if ten trains passed overhead at the same time, and the whole room began to shake.

"What's wrong with the sheepfold?" Brandon immediately stood up.

Jessica rubbed her temples and quickly explained, "There was some damage to the roof before, not very serious. After discussing it with Cole, I briefly repaired it, and I plan to renovate it next. Normally, there are no problems, but if it rains heavily today, it is very likely that it will not be able to support it. ”

"The rainy season is at least going to be a while, and we thought it would be fine. Cole said as he quickly turned and walked towards the back door.

Lu Li also strode up, he had heard before, the weather in the mountains was unpredictable, the sky was clear in the last second, and the torrential rain was pouring in the next second, today he finally experienced it, "Cole, is there anything you need me to help with?"

"I'm sorry. Fourteen, we really thought ......" Cole strode forward, his steps gradually turning into trotting.

"Cole, I said, is there anything you need my help with?" Lu Li knew that Cole and Jessica couldn't be blamed for this, they made judgments based on their own experience, but who could say for sure how the weather would change? What's more, the current rainstorm has not yet fallen, and it is uncertain whether it will have an impact, and Cole and Jessica are only taking precautions.

Cole paused for a moment, then nodded heavily, "There are heating lamps in the sheepfold, you go and turn them on, you don't need to turn them all on, it's enough to turn on one of the five lamps every five times." Cole looked behind him and raised his voice, "Randy, Jessica, you guys come over and help." ”

Before the words fell, the raindrops fell, unreasonably smashed on the face, giving people the illusion of being hit by hail, almost in the blink of an eye, the rain curtain blurred the vision, and a large area was made in front of the eyes, and the visibility was instantly limited to five steps away, and the heavy rain pressed the shoulders almost to collapse.

Lu Li felt that his whole person was wrapped in warm moisture, his clothes were soaked in an instant, even his underwear was wet, and then he felt a person pat him on the shoulder, turned his head, and it was Brandon, "I'll go to the stable, and I'll come back to help you in a while." ”

I've heard Cole say that horses are easily frightened during thunderstorms, and although it's fine, you still need to confirm the situation.

Lu Li said to Brandon, "No problem. But before he could open his mouth, the rain poured directly into his mouth, and his speech became slurred, so he patted Brandon on the arm to show that he understood, and then strode in the direction of the sheepfold, his shoes stepping on the muddy dirt, getting heavier and heavier, as if moving forward in the mud.

In the distance, a hazy yellow halo guided the way, Lu Li quickened his pace, and the whole person crashed into the warm halo, wiped the rain on his cheeks, and his vision became clear, and then he saw Cole moving the stairs forward.

Looking around, there was some commotion in the sheepfold, and the sheep were the most timid, and the rumbling thunder was enough to frighten them, and they all gathered in the corners and made uneasy noises. Other than that, however, nothing unusual was felt, and the situation that Cole feared did not materialize.

"XIV. Randy's voice came from behind him, and Lu Li turned his head, "You two go over and help Cole, just leave it to me and Fred here." Is it okay to have a bullpen there?"

Jessica nodded, "Don't worry, I'll check it later, don't worry." Before they could say more, Jessica and Randy ran briskly in the direction of Cole.

"How can I help?" shouted Fred as well.

"Turn on the heating lights. Lu Li said quickly, "Every five lights, open one, and that's fine." I'll take care of the left, you take care of the right, and then we'll go over and help Cole. After saying that, the two of them divided into two ways and began to get busy.

"Boom, boom!" The rolling thunder sounded, as if a big hole had broken in the sky, not to mention the sheep, even Lu Li was startled, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the ceiling, wondering if the roof was about to collapse in the next moment, "Boom!" The muffled sound was accompanied by lightning, the entire sky was directly split, and the water splashes of the torrential rain exploded in the lightning, as if the thick ink that could not be dissolved, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.

The flock began to run around restlessly, bleating incessantly, and the shivering appearance could clearly feel their fear.

Lu Li didn't know what to do, "Cole, do you want to put some music on them or something?" Lu Li shouted, his voice was a little dull in the rainstorm, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and he couldn't spread it, but Cole and the others still heard it, and immediately laughed, "No need." Cole replied in a loud voice.

"If you're really worried, sing a lullaby. Jessica said teasingly, causing everyone to laugh again.

Lu Li raised his hands in surrender, "Maybe I can really sing, if the sheep don't mind if I don't have a full five notes." ”

There was another burst of laughter, and then everyone was busy again.

Lightning and thunder were still intertwined, and Cole and the others were getting better and better, but at this moment, Brandon rushed in, "Come and help, bullpen...... There's a canal in the bullpen that is blocked, and now it's flooded, quick, we need to get the water out as soon as possible. ”

Lu Li's work was about to be finished, and Fred was still a little bit away, so he quickly followed, "I'll help." ”

"You go first, and I'll come right away. Fred shouted, and Jessica followed suit.

Leaving the sheepfold and walking into the bullpen, Lu Li was shocked, there were straw and cow dung floating on the water, and the muddy dirty water flowed under his feet, and a foul smell came to his face, looking like ...... The manure pit was flooded.

However, the herd remained calm and stuck in place.
