Chapter 31: The Rainstorm

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was October, and the autumn was crisp, and it was also the season of ripening oranges.

In the orange orchard, Nami and Noki stand under the orange tree, picking oranges and constantly placing them in the wooden basket beside them.

"I'll see how many I picked."

Not far away, a woman wearing red hair and carrying a cigarette and carrying a wooden basket walked over, put the basket down, and looked at the two of them, "Nami, Nokigao, you two little ghosts are very capable." ”

"Aunt Bermel, you haven't picked as many as the two of us."

The blue-haired Nuo Qigao glanced at the wooden basket that the woman had put down, put her hands around her chest, and said with some smugness.

"That's because there are two of you."

Bermel clasped his hands around his chest and said with a smile: "I'll pick it alone, of course slowly." ”

"But we're just kids, and Aunt Bermel is an adult."

Nami said angrily, "It seems that Aunt Bermel is lazy." ”

"I'm not lazy."

Belmel looked at them and said, "All right, it's almost noon, carry both baskets into the room, divide the oranges, lay them out with fir needles, wrap them, and then I'll go to cook, and when they're ready, I'll go to eat." ”

"Both?"

Nami and Noki glanced at each other, both showing unwillingness to look.

"Go."

Bermel patted them on the shoulder.

"Yes."

Nami and Nokigao nodded, and carried their baskets into the room where the oranges were stored, but as soon as they put the basket down, they found that there were many extra oranges in the room, and they had already been divided.

"What is this?"

Nami's eyes widened, and she and Nokigao looked at each other, and their faces turned red.

It turned out that Aunt Bermare was not lazy, and had already picked a basket and divided it.

The two of them slowly returned to the orange grove, a little embarrassed to see Aunt Bermel, but when they got there, they found that Aunt Belmel had already returned to the house to cook.

"Let's carry it back."

The two carried the oranges back to the room, divided them and wrapped them in fir tree needles, so that they could be kept for one to two months.

The two of them packed separately, and it was already twelve o'clock at noon, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, returned to the dining room, and sat down at the table.

The meal was ready, grilled fish, tempura, and rice.

"Today's dishes are so hearty." Nami's eyes widened at the sight of the dishes, most of the meals they used to eat were vegetarian, with occasional meat.

But today there is not only grilled fish, but also fried tempura.

"You two have been busy for so long, of course I'll give you something to eat." Bermel smiled and said, "Eat it." ”

"Okay."

Nami and Noki immediately picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Nuoqigao took a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and then he took a big bite of rice into his mouth.

Nami, on the other hand, took a tempura, put it in her mouth, and slowly bit it down, making a clattering sound.

The two were eating the dishes, and Nuo Qigao looked at Bermel, who only ate rice, and couldn't help asking, "Aunt Bermel, why don't you eat it?" ”

"I want to lose weight, but I don't dare to eat these things."

Bermel said with a smile, a grain of rice still on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing her smile, Nami's eyes showed a touch of sadness, and she didn't say anything, lowered her head and continued to eat.

After eating, Nami and Nokigao help clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

It's the rule in the house, with Bermel cooking and Nami and Nokigao washing and sweeping.

When the two of them were done, Bermel waved his hand and said, "Go and rest." ”

"Aunt Bermel, when are we going to pick oranges again in the afternoon?" Nokigao asked, looking at Bermel.

"I won't need you in the afternoon."

Bermel smiled and said: "I can do it alone, the number of oranges left is not much, and some of them must be left on the tree." ”

"Okay." Nokigao nodded and went back to the bedroom with Nami.

The two bedrooms were next to each other, with bunk beds, Noki on top and Nami on the bottom.

Nokigao climbed straight into bed, lay there, and took a nap.

But instead of taking a nap, Nami took a telescope, a notebook, a pen, a ruler, and a strange old device with a fan blade, and a watch under the table.

"Nami, what are you going to do?" Nuoqigao asked curiously.

"I got a wind gauge and went to test a new way of measuring wind speed." Nami said with a smile, packing the items into a small, worn-out bag.

Nuoqigao asked curiously, "You bought this wind gauge?" How much money was spent. ”

"I stole it."

Nami stuck out her tongue and said, "Don't tell Aunt Belmel, she'll scold me." ”

"I know."

Nuoqigao nodded and asked, "When are you going to come back?" ”

"I don't know."

"There are two ships coming in the afternoon, and I'm going to look at their sails and draw a map of the dynamics under the surface effects of the boundary layer," Nami said. At least wait for the boat to arrive, but be back before dinner at the latest. ”

"Stay safe and don't go to dangerous places."

Nuoki said as she lay there with her chin held high.

"I know."

Nami nodded, put her bag on her back, and rushed out of the room.

"Nami, where are you going?"

Behind him, Bermel's voice was heard.

"By the sea." Nami waved her hand.

Bermel said helplessly: "Don't go into the water, don't go to the south, there are schools of sharks there." ”

"I know."

Nami shouted loudly and disappeared into the distance.

Coming to the western coast, Nami came to the shore to the right of the port, where there was a flag, and the flag was waving in the wind.

Nami typed out the pen, notebook and ruler first.

The wind was a little strong, and Nami's clothes were hunting, and the notebook was blown open, and the pages were turned open.

Nami pressed her notebook, she looked at the flag next to her, measured the angle of the flag directly in front of her, and multiplied that angle by 1.6 divided by four to get a value.

Thirty-three.

This is a speed of 33 km/h, and then the speed is calculated as a second, which is about 9 m/s.

Category 5 winds.

This kind of wind is not a strong wind, but you can already feel a strong wind.

Then Nami couldn't wait to take out her watch, anemometer.

Nami took out the anemometer and set it aside, and the fan on it spun in no time.

Nami took out her watch, set the time, and then held the switch of the counter under the anemometer with her right hand, and when the second hand pointed to the 12 number, Nami pressed the switch.

The anemometer revolutions are reset to zero and then recalculated.

Nami stared at her watch as seconds passed, and after the second hand turned, Nami pressed the counter switch.

According to the number of revolutions in the meter, the distance of the fan is calculated using the curve formula, and then divided by 60 seconds, which is the number of seconds.

“9.7m/s。”

It was 0.7 m/s more.

Nami took note of the result, then measured it again with the flag method and the anemometer, averaging it several times.

The flag method measured 9.1 m/s, while the anemometer measured 9.7 m/s.

The error between the two reached 0.6m/s, which is not insignificant.

Presumably a problem with the direction of the wind, and the inaccuracy of the flag method measurement itself.

It seems that you need professional tools to measure wind speed.

Nami thought, looking at the anemometer and a smile on her lips.

This is the first piece of equipment I got to go to sea.

Nami walked a few more places, constantly measuring the wind speed, and it was probably limited to a certain range.

But as time went on, the wind became stronger and stronger, even reaching 11m/s, which is already the standard for strong winds, force 6 winds.

Moreover, the clouds were gloomy and low, and there were fish under the sea that came out and opened their mouths to breathe.

"It's going to rain."

Nami glanced at the sky, then at the sea, and couldn't help but say.

Needless to say, the clouds are not the only way for the fish to come out of the water because the low pressure forces the dissolved oxygen out, forcing the fish to come to the surface.

And depending on the height of the clouds and the change in the wind, the rain will not be light.

At that time, it will be at least a wind of seven or higher, as well as a storm.

Not only that, but Nami also saw a column of water in the distance spurting high upwards, close to about ten meters.

"That's a whale?"

Nami held up her binoculars and saw a huge head under the water column.

When the whale ventilates, it expels gases such as dioxide, and when this air flow rushes out of its nostrils, it drives the surrounding ocean currents upwards to form a column of water.

Ten meters of water column, the body length of this whale hidden under the surface of the sea, is at least thirty meters above.

What a big whale.

Nami looked at the column of water in the distance, but at this moment, the column of water suddenly disappeared, and the whole whale was directly knocked over.

I saw a black shadow appear next to the whale and bite the blue whale.

This black shadow is not as big as a whale, but the blue whale has no ability to resist, and tries to escape, but is caught up, killed little by little, and disappears into the sea.

It didn't take long for blood to flow out and the sea to turn red.

"The fish?"

Nami remembered that eight months ago, she had seen the unnamed black fish that hunted dolphins, and it had a powerful attack.

It seems that he was the one who hunted the whale just now.

What a ferocious fish.

Nami looked at the gloomy sky, packed up her belongings, carried her school bag, and ran in the direction of home.

As he ran, he shouted, "It's going to rain, collect clothes, collect clothes." ”

With Nami's shouting, many of the residents put away their clothes outside.

Everyone in Coco Yasi Village knows that Nami is a little ghost, although she likes to steal things and is very mischievous, but she has never misjudged the weather once.
