Yunding Ranch

Chapter 100 Heavy Rain in the Mountains
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 with a bottle of beer in their hand, looking in the direction of the back door with astonishment—the screen window of the back door was still open. Shaking around, they all turned to look at Lu Li with blank faces.

"What's wrong with her?" Jessica stuttered and asked.

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

"Hey, man." Fred protested immediately.

Randy sat next to him and laughed, "Fred has been acting normal tonight, he doesn't look like an artist at all."

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

Randy frantically covered it, causing everyone to laugh. Lu Li walked towards the refrigerator, and Cole's voice came from next to his ear, "We'd better pray that Fred from the dark side doesn't show up." .Otherwise, this house will be demolished, just like the Hulk.” Fred was really overwhelmed by the teasing words, and everyone clapped and laughed.

Lu Li stopped, turned around and said, "It seems that you get 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, but you never cooked me a meal, showing off your skills, it really makes me sad .”

Texans are not good at speaking and are very xenophobic, but Yundian Ranch is obviously different. Randy is a chatterbox, Cole is enthusiastic and friendly, Jessica is straightforward, and only Brandon is like a real Texan.However, when talking about dinner tonight, everyone found a common topic in an instant.

Lu Li opened the refrigerator and took a bottle of beer, "Ha, so are you jealous? Don't worry, if you like, I can cook for a while. However, my salary as a chef is not cheap. Are you mentally prepared?"

Walking to the sofa in the living room, Cole and Fred moved away to make room for Lu Li, but before Lu Li could sit down, Brandon frowned, "It's windy."

"What reward do you want?" Fred looked disgusted, but after he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Brandon diagonally opposite, and said incomprehensibly, "Isn't it normal for the wind to blow?"

Then Fred looked at Lu Li for proof, but Lu Li also shrugged blankly.

"Hush." ​​Jessica made a gesture, and the noise in the hall stopped immediately. If you listened carefully, you could hear the whirring of tree branches outside the window, and the sharp wind could be heard clearly. Seeing the sound of the beech forest, even the glass windows of the house began to rattle, as if the house would be dismantled at any moment.

"...Is this a tornado?" Lu Li lowered his voice and asked. He had heard of the dangers of a tornado here in Texas, but he had never seen one before.

"Probably not." Randy shook his head in denial.

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

"Why do we have to whisper?" Fred lowered his body and asked in a low voice.

"Hush!" Jessica gestured again, stopping the discussion.

"Heavy rain." Brandon said, and he didn't realize that, like Lu Li, he spoke in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he cleared his throat and said again, "Heavy rain is coming."

Heavy rain, this was the first time Lu Li had encountered it since he came to the ranch. "The rainstorm is coming, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Lu Kai asked, and the first thing he thought of was the organic farm - that piece of land 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..." Lu Li hadn't finished asking when a flash of lightning rang out outside. The bright lightning slid across the sky, turning the entire sky into daylight, and then the thunder rumbled over, as if ten thousand A train passed overhead at the same time, and the whole room began to vibrate.

"What happened to the sheepfold?" Brandon also stood up immediately.

Jessica rubbed her temples and quickly explained, "There was some damage to the roof before, but it wasn't serious. After discussing with Cole, I made a simple repair and plan to repair it. Usually there are no problems. If it rains today , it is very likely that it will not be able to support it.”

"The rainy season will last for at least a while, and we thought nothing would happen." Cole said as he quickly turned around and walked towards the back door.

Lu Li also strode up to follow. He had heard before that the weather in the mountains was unpredictable. One second it was clear and the next second it was pouring rain. Today he finally experienced it, "Keer, Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Sorry. Fourteen, we really thought..." Cole strode forward, his steps gradually turning into a trot.

"Cole, let me tell you, is there anything I can do for you?" Lu Li knew that he couldn't blame Cole and Jessica for this. They made judgments based on their own experience, but who can say what the weather will change? ?What's more, the current torrential rain has not yet come down, and it is uncertain whether it will have an impact. Cole and Jessica are just taking precautions.

Cole paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "There are heating lights inside the sheep pen, you go and turn them on, you don't need all of them, it's enough to turn on every five lights." Cole looked back Look, raised his voice and said, "Randy, Jessica, you guys come and help."

Before the voice fell, the raindrops fell and hit the face unreasonably, giving people the illusion of being hit by hailstones. Almost in the blink of an eye, the rain blurred the vision, and a large area was formed in front of the eyes. , Visibility was instantly limited to five steps away, and the heavy rain was so heavy that the shoulders almost collapsed.

Lu Li felt that his whole body was wrapped in warm water vapor, his clothes were instantly soaked, even his underwear was wet, and then he felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and turned his head, it was Brandon, " I'm going to the stables, and I'll be back to help you in a moment."

I heard from Cole before that horses are easily startled during thunderstorms. Although there is no serious problem, we still need to confirm the situation.

Lu Li said to Brandon, "No problem." But as soon as he opened his mouth, the heavy rain poured into his mouth, and his words became slurred, so he patted Brandon's arm to express his understanding, and then strode forward. He ran towards the sheepfold with big strides, his shoes stepped on the muddy soil, getting heavier and heavier, as if he was walking in a swamp.

In the distance, a hazy yellow halo guided the way. Lu Li quickened his pace, and his whole body crashed into the warm halo. After wiping the rain on his cheeks, his vision became clearer, and then he saw Cole Moving forward with moving stairs.

Looking around, there was some commotion in the sheep pen, the sheep were the most timid, and the rumbling thunder was enough to frighten them. At this moment, they all gathered in the corner, making uneasy noises.But other than that, nothing abnormal was felt, and what Cole was worried about did not appear.

"Fourteen." Randy's voice came from behind, and Lu Li turned his head, "You two go to help Cole, just leave this to me and Fred. Is it okay to go to the bullpen?"

Jessica nodded, "Don't worry, I'll check in later, don't worry." Before they could say anything more, Jessica and Randy quickly ran towards Cole's direction.

"How should I help?" Fred followed up and shouted loudly.

"Turn on the heating lights." Lu Li said quickly, "Turn on one for every five lights, and that's enough. I'll be on the left side, you'll be on the right side, and then we'll go help Cole." After finishing speaking, the two split up. The two roads began to get busy.

"Boom! Boom!" There was a sound of rolling thunder, as if a big hole had been opened in the sky. Not to mention the flock of sheep, even Lu Li was taken aback. He couldn't help but look up at the ceiling, wondering if it was the roof? It was about to collapse in the next moment, "Boom!" The muffled sound was accompanied by lightning, and the entire sky was split open. The splashes of the rainstorm exploded in the lightning, like thick ink that could not be melted, and the whole world was plunged into darkness. In the darkness.

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

Lu Li didn't know what to do, "Keer, do you want to play some music for them?" Lu Li raised his voice and shouted, his voice was a bit dull in the rainstorm, as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and couldn't spread out, but Ke Er Er and the others still heard it, and immediately burst into laughter, "No need." Cole replied loudly.

"If you're really worried, you can sing a lullaby," Jessica said jokingly, making everyone laugh again.

Lu Li raised his hands in surrender, "Maybe I can really sing, if the sheep don't mind my tone-deaf."

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

Lightning and thunder are still intertwined, and the work of Cole and others is getting better, but at this moment, Brandon rushes in, "Come and help, the cowpen...a drain in the cowpen is blocked, now It's flooded inside, quick, we need to get the water out as soon as possible."

Lu Li was about to finish the work at hand, Fred was still a little bit behind, so he quickly followed, "I'll help."

"Go ahead first, I'll be right over." Fred shouted loudly, and Jessica followed Lu Li's footsteps.

Leaving the sheepfold and walking into the cowshed, Lu Li was shocked. Straw and cow dung floated on the water surface, and the muddy water flowed down to his feet. A stench came over his face. It looked like... There was a flood.

However, the herd of cattle stayed in place calmly.
