The so-called plan is not as fast as the change, July 13, the day after tomorrow is the day of the release of the Matrix, when Su Zhen's family was about to pack up and set off, an incident happened, interrupting all the travel plans.

At noon that day, Su Zhen was lying on a recliner in the yard basking in the sun, the summer sun in northern Yizhou was not strong, and there were parasols, so there was no need to worry about the sunburn, so he took the iced sour plum soup sent by the servant from the table at hand and took a sip, and was stunned.

Just when Su Zhen was comfortable, he didn't notice that the sky was gradually changing, and after a while, Su Zhen was awakened by the barking sound of a few big and small, and just when Su Zhen was wondering what was going on, he heard a hurried sound of horses' hooves.

Su Zhen got up and saw that Old John was riding a horse and hurried to this side, "Hey, John, what's the matter, so urgent" said and opened the door of the courtyard.

"Boss, something is wrong," said old John Ma, who had just dismounted, trotted over without being on a leash, "I just received an alert from the meteorological department, and soon there will be a thunderstorm in our area, and it may even cause a tornado." ”

Su Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and at this time he also noticed the change in the sky, "Then what should I do?" He was a little panicked as he had never experienced this kind of thing in his life.

"It's okay to say that the thunderstorm is just afraid of causing a tornado, but this thing comes and goes quickly, it's better to clean up and go to the cellar to hide first, the tornado can't affect the cellar." John Sr. said, "The cowboys are driving the cattle into the pen, but the time is too short to know how much they will lose by then." ”

"I can't care about any losses, people matter, you quickly notify all cowboys to take refuge measures, use walkie-talkies, you probably won't be too late to go back now, just take refuge on my side." Su Zhen hurriedly ordered, took a deep look at the lightning and thundering sky in the distance and the tornado that was slowly taking shape, and then walked into the house.

"Good boss," said Old John to notify all the cowboys through the walkie-talkie, and then followed Su Zhen into the house.

As soon as Su Zhen entered the house, he saw Liu Ru coming out of the room, and after briefly explaining the situation to Liu Ru, he quickly asked Liu Ru and the maid to hide in the cellar.

"But what if the poems and paintings are still in town?" Liu Ru said urgently.

"It's too late to do anything now, the thunderstorm is coming soon," Su Zhen said helplessly, "I'll call later, I hope she's okay." ”

Soon Su Zhen and Old John took Liu Ru and two maids, as well as four little coyotes, and hid in the cellar together.

In the dim cellar, there was a faint uneasy mood, Liu Ru had been calling Liu Shihua's phone, but perhaps due to the influence of the magnetic field of the thunderstorm, it was always busy.

Soon the thunderstorm came above Su Zhen and the others, and the continuous thunder was a good proof.

"John, do thunderstorms happen regularly in Illino?" In the roaring thunder, Su Zhen asked, he found that he still knew less about the situation in Yizhou.

Liu Ru, who heard the words, also looked at Old John tightly, if Old John answered yes, it is estimated that he will definitely move after this time.

"No, this is the first thunderstorm in northern Illinois since I can remember, generally only the southern part of Illinois may have one or two thunderstorms every few years, the north has never had before, and it is the first time in Harvard" Old John returned, and also comforted Su Zhen, "BOSS, you can rest assured, everything in the ranch is insured, and all losses will be paid by the insurance company"

"I'm not worried about losses, but if this happens a lot in Yizhou, I have to consider whether to move to another place," Su Zhen replied.

"You can rest assured that the northern part of Illinois has always been at most a winter blizzard, thunderstorms generally occur in the Midwest and the south of the United States, Haval is already in the north, basically not affected by hurricanes and thunderstorms, this thunderstorm is not large, the main threat is tornadoes" John Sr. explained.

Su Zhen nodded and did not speak.

Fortunately, the thunderstorm came quickly and obtained quickly, and thirty minutes later, Su Zhen saw the sunlight shining down through the cracks in the cellar and understood that the thunderstorm had passed.

Liu Ru finally dialed Liu Shihua's phone, but fortunately, everything was safe in the town.

Su Zhen opened the door of the cellar, walked out first, and looked at the situation, except for a little trace of the grass being blown by the wind, it seemed that the pasture had not been greatly affected.

The horse, which had been left outside by old John, saw his master and ran from a distance.

The swan family in the yard snuggled together, and saw Su Zhen and the others coming out of the basement and quacked a few times.

Old John observed along Su Zhen's house, and after finding that it was not damaged, he turned over and "BOSS, I'll go and see the situation of the ranch."

Su Zhen was comforting his mother at this time, and when he heard the words, he said, "I'll go with you" and Liu Ru said a word, and then drove the all-terrain vehicle in the yard and went out with Old John, because the house and the stable are a little far away, so Su Zhen usually uses the all-terrain vehicle to go back and forth between the stables.

Su Zhen and Old John first arrived at the stable, and the stable was also safe and sound, but it may be that the horses were frightened, and Su Zhen and Old John were a little uneasy when they entered.

When Su Zhen led the black elf out of the stable, it happened that Jensen and Little John also rode over to the stable.

"Hey boss, you guys don't have anything to do there?" Jensen was the first to ask.

"Everything is safe," Su Zhen replied, "how is the situation in the rest of the ranch?"

"Most of it was fine, but the situation on the other side of the lake was not good, there were three tornadoes, one of which passed over there, and the herd in that direction lost hundreds of heads, but no one was fine." It was John Jr. who answered.

Su Zhen was relieved when he heard this, as long as people are fine, as for the loss of hundreds of cattle, they can be made up through the insurance company.

"We didn't have much damage to our ranch, but the situation in other places is not too good, I heard the radio before, the tornado came from Iowa in the west, and it raged for more than 100 kilometers in ten minutes, and many towns on the way were bad," Jensen said, "but fortunately, Harvard was unharmed, and the tornado only passed by not far from it."

After that, Su Zhen and Old John and others came to the vicinity of the only place in the ranch that was hit by a tornado, that is, by the lake.

"This tornado passed by the lake, and the direction of travel is the mountain forest over there," John Jr. pointed to a path on the mountain that was clearly blown out by the tornado, and introduced to Su Zhen, "It dissipated soon after entering the mountain forest, and the other two passed through Old Jack's ranch in the west and entered Wisconsin, and soon dissipated." ”

Looking at the mess in front of him, Su Zhen couldn't help but sigh at the power of nature, the lake was full of big trees that had fallen to the ground and been uprooted by tornadoes, as well as a lot of cattle corpses and the corpses of some other small animals, a few cattle dogs smelled here and there.

Martin and a few other South American cowboys are carrying dead cattle onto trucks, which are unnatural deaths and cannot be put on the market for sale, but can only be destroyed.

Just when Su Zhen sighed about nature, several cattle dogs seemed to have discovered something, Su Zhen and Old John rode over and found that several dogs were barking at the branches and leaves of an overturned tree.

It was an oak tree, very tall and leafy, but it was clearly no match for the power of a tornado. But why did Su Zhen think this tree was so familiar.

At this moment old John slowly brushed away the bushes with his horsewhip, revealing a great bird's nest hidden in the bushes. Su Zhen saw that this was the nest of the pair of bald eagles he had seen at the beginning.

Chirps can also be heard from the nest.

When Old John had completely removed the branches that stood around the nest, the whole nest was finally revealed to everyone. In the nest are two gray chicks.

The two chicks seemed very uneasy, chirping incessantly.

"Is this a bald eagle calf?" Su Zhen asked in surprise.

"That's right," replied Old John, taking a closer look

"But what about their parents?" Su Zhen asked, he hadn't seen any trace of the pair of adult sea eagles in the surroundings before.

"I guess it flew away during the tornado, and I'll come back when the time comes," said Old John, "but by then there will probably be only one left."

"For what?" Su Zhen was very strange when he heard this.

"The chicks are hungry very quickly, and if the parents don't come back in time with the food, the older one will take the smaller one as food," said Old John, pointing to a young bird that was obviously one size older than the other, "Although the bald eagle will lay two eggs, the hatching time of the two eggs will be much worse, and there will often be early hatchers who eat their brothers, so they can often only survive one, which is one of the reasons why the number of bald eagles has not been able to rise."

Su Zhen was terrified when he heard this, and it was such a cruel competition for survival, "Do I want to raise them?" Su Zhen asked.

"Of course, the United States does not prohibit private breeding of large beasts, as long as they are not put in the downtown area, no one cares about it at all" Old John smiled, "but the amount of food in this thing is not small, and it costs a lot to raise." ”

Su Zhen laughed when he heard this, "I'm not afraid, now there are a lot of cattle to be slaughtered in the ranch every day, and there are a lot of internal organs that need to be disposed of, are you afraid that you won't be able to feed two birds?"

Old John smiled and nodded, it is true that raising a large pet may be a burden for ordinary people, but it is really nothing for rich people.

Su Zhen stepped forward, drove away a few cowdogs who were very interested in chicks, took off his cowboy hat as a temporary nest for two small things, and took the two chicks out of the grass and put them in.

Leaving Old John and the others to clean up the mess, Su Zhenle took the two chicks back first, thinking happily, now the eagle dog is complete.
