Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The meadow is at a high altitude, the surrounding area is open and there are not many trees and mountains to block it, and the wind is much stronger than elsewhere.

After harvesting hay, the two remembered that the newly cut grass was still piled in the corner.

He quickly ran out of the house and carried the grass in the corner into the hay house.

The wind blew the grass clippings on the meadow swirling into the air. Mu Xi quickly blocked a pebble that was blown towards his face and shouted to Zhao Yeqing,

"You go in and I'll do the rest!"

The strong wind roared past Zhao Yeqing's ears, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.

"Can't hear you! Let's talk after you go inside!"

A handful of grass was carried into the house. Mu Xi stopped Zhao Yeqing and repeated, "Don't go, there isn't much left, I'll just go."

Zhao Yeqing was distracted by this and suddenly thought of her vegetable garden. The shed above had no air inlet and outlet, fearing it would be blown away.

"You go get the grass, and I'll go look at the vegetable garden!"

After that, he hurriedly ran out.

The storm came suddenly, and naturally everyone was in a panic.

When she ran to the back of the house, she saw that half of the bamboo frame of the greenhouse on the vegetable garden had been blown over. She hurriedly stepped forward to fix the frame, lifted up the front and rear tent cloth to let the wind pass through, and moved large rocks on the left and right sides to crush it.

As soon as I finished, I looked up from the window and saw bottles and cans being blown down in the kitchen.

He quickly ran to the kitchen again.

The kitchen door fell down, and the jars and bottles inside fell over. Plastic bags were flying everywhere. The ashes of vegetation in the middle of the fire pit were also blown up by the wind. Zhao Yeqing, who rushed in, took a mouthful of ashes.

She didn't bother to pick up those things, she had to quickly close the kitchen door first.

The door was in disrepair, the hinges on the door were rusty, and the screws had been blown somewhere.

Zhao Yeqing lifted the door, stuck it on the door frame with a piece of firewood, and supported it with a bench behind it.

The wind in the kitchen was blocked, and it suddenly became quiet inside.

Zhao Yeqing picked up all the bottles and jars and placed them close to each other in the corner of the kitchen to prevent them from being blown over in an unexpected situation.

He took out the broom placed in the corner and swept the blown ashes back into the fire pit.

Outside the window, Mu Xi had put all the grass back into the hay room. The door could not be moved now, and it might fall down if it moved.

Zhao Yeqing opened the window on the side of the kitchen and climbed out, then closed the window.

The wind outside hasn't stopped yet, and it's blowing so hard that my face hurts.

Zhao Yeqing opened the door of the hay room a crack, and when he saw Mu Xi inside, he stepped in through the crack in the door.

I don’t know when the strong wind will stop. Guohuo and Xuebing are outside and haven’t come back yet.

The two little ones usually like to wander in the woods when they go out, which should be safer than the grassland.

The current wind volume is such that when standing outside, people feel like they are about to be blown away.

The puppies at home were a little uneasy, clinging to their mother and making whining sounds.

The two of them couldn't do anything now, so they simply turned the freshly cut grass into silage in the hay house.

By the time the two of them finished processing the cart of grass, the sky outside the window had gradually turned gloomy.

There were no clouds visible, but it seemed like the entire sky was filled with clouds.

A completely dark place.

"Is it going to rain?"

Zhao Yeqing's mood was complicated.

It's good news that there will be rain after a long drought, but it has been abnormally dry for so long, and the weather has changed so suddenly.

I always feel like it’s not a good thing.

The glass on the window was originally swayed by the wind, but now it gradually calmed down.

Zhao Yeqing opened the door, and there was only a gentle breeze outside.

She picked up the hoe and went out. It had been a drought every day, and she had never thought of digging for drainage. Now she had to dig out quickly, otherwise the vegetable field would be flooded when it rained.

Mu Xi also followed him out.

Not only the vegetable plot, they always felt that the rain was not that simple, and drainage ditches had to be dug around the house.

The two of them divided the work and worked together to dig drainage ditches in the vegetable field. Zhao Yeqing was a skilled worker and could finish the digging in twenty minutes.

The drainage ditch around the house was still half-finished. It was obviously noon, and the sky was dark as if it was going to be night soon.

She hurried over to help and dug the drainage around the house. The drainage of the vegetable field was connected to the drainage of the house.

We dug more than ten meters to the front where the ground was slightly lower to let the water drain out from here.

Guohuo and Xuebing hadn't come back yet, so Zhao Yeqing walked back and forth anxiously, wondering if the wind was too strong and broke the tree, scaring the two little leopards.

Mu Xi took out the remaining bark from the trees he had chopped down when building toilets and bathrooms, stepped on the bench and climbed up to the roof with both hands.

There are holes in the roof. When I was lying down at home, I could vaguely see some light spots coming from the board above my head.

The houses are all small wooden houses, not large in area. Several wooden houses are covered with a few pieces of bark and then held down by the original stones on the roof.

The bark of the tree will inevitably be arched, so it must be flattened and pressed with stones so that the rainwater will not flow arbitrarily.

The sky was completely dark, and Zhao Yeqing lit the oil lamp.

This oil lamp is a kerosene lamp, with a glass bottle underneath. A hole is drilled into the metal lid of the glass bottle, and a lamp twist is inserted inside.

This wooden house has light bulbs. After all, before the natural disaster, their country was very powerful. Even if a family lived in a ravine, the country would help connect them to electricity.

However, there is still a lot of kerosene and lamps in the tool room, which shows that the original owner is a very nostalgic person.

The two of them have been busy since they arrived here, working at sunrise and sunset, pointing to one lamp and never thinking of making another one.

The sky was getting dark now, and it was rare for him to be free at home. However, Zhao Yeqing felt panicked and wanted to find something to do to calm himself down.

The bottle of hot sauce I brought back from the village just happened to be empty recently.

She cleaned the hot sauce bottle and drilled a hole in the metal lid with a screwdriver.

The light twister passes through the metal cap and is just long enough to touch the bottom of the bottle.

When the glass bottle is filled with kerosene, the capillary action of the lamp twister will suck up the kerosene in the bottle.

Zhao Yeqing lit the newly made kerosene lamp, confirmed that it could be lit, and then put out the lamp.

Mu Xi laid the bark on the roof and returned to the room. Looking at Zhao Yeqing who looked a little worried, he took a wet tissue and wiped it on her face a few times.

"Those two are very clever. What are you worried about?"

Zhao Yeqing's face was still stained with plant ash from the kitchen, and a paper towel was dirty from wiping it.

She pulled another one and looked in the mirror to clean it.

It wasn't just because the two little leopards hadn't come back yet, it was just that when she suddenly saw the gloomy sky, she felt panicked for no reason.

I am also worried about whether sudden changes will make the situation worse.

But when Zhao Yeqing raised his head after wiping his face, he saw that Mu Xi had a nonchalant look on his face, as if worrying about these things was better than thinking about what to eat tonight.

My heart felt inexplicably soothed.

Anyway, it’s been a long time since we’ve been here, so the water will stop us.

Seeing that the man seemed to have figured it out, Mu Xi turned around and went out.

"I'm going to fix the kitchen door."
