Chapter 156 Typhoon
"Is there a typhoon coming?"
Xia Mi looked up at the weather outside. The sky was covered with dark clouds, which were so low that they seemed to be about to fall into the sea. There was a strong wind outside.
"Not sure. Typhoons usually occur in summer and autumn, rarely in winter. But they do happen. You probably don't need to go today."
Huo Jingchen looked worried and was also worried about the outside world.
It was fishing season some time ago, and you can also go fishing these few days. The bad weather came suddenly, and I don’t know if anyone went out to sea.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shi Daqiang knocked on Xia Mi's door.
The wind blew up sand, and when he was about to speak, he spat several times before clearing the sand from his mouth.
"Captain, someone from the commune just said that a production team went out to sea for work and now they probably won't be coming back."
Whatever you fear will come true.
Huo Jingchen hurriedly took the coat and told Xia Mi worriedly, "Close the doors and windows tightly after dinner."
"Okay, be careful."
In this situation, Huo Jingchen would definitely go out to sea to launch a rescue operation.
Huo Jingchen took Shi Daqiang away. Their backs were faster than the wind, which made Xia Mi frown.
After finishing breakfast, Xia Mi found that the wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, even strong enough to break the thinner trees. A creaking sound was heard, and Xia Mi's heart began to lift again.
Going out to sea on this day is only more dangerous.
She closed the doors and windows tightly, and when she turned back, she found the black panther lying outside. The wind was so strong that it couldn't open its eyes.
"Black Panther, come in."
Xia Mi opened the door and the wind rushed into the room, sweeping every corner.
The black panther obediently went into the house, shook its body and lay down again.
The wind outside had turned into a whistling sound, occasionally interspersed with the sound of branches breaking. This was a typhoon that Xia Mi had never encountered in the more than half a year she had been on the island.
She went to check the condition of the water tank immediately.
There was only a little water left, so I quickly bought some at the mall to fill it up. I had candles and oil lamps at home, so I didn't have to worry about water or power outages.
After Xia Mi dealt with these things, she found that the wind outside was still strong and it was starting to rain heavily.
Raindrops hit the window, and the surroundings suddenly became noisy.
Suddenly, a scream was heard along with the wind and swept into Xia Mi's yard. It was Fan Chunhua's.
"My shed!"
Then there was silence. Xia Mi guessed that maybe her sister-in-law's chicken coop was blown away or collapsed.
Xia Mi stood in front of the window, worried about what the people in the production team would do if the wind didn't stop.
Now most of them are still ordinary stone houses, and there are even earthen houses.
Zhang Zijie's house doesn't have a good gate, and I don't know if it still exists.
The wind and rain outside show no sign of stopping.
Xia Mi felt panicked after hearing this and could only hide in the space first, just in time to take a look at her sea area.
The last time the space was expanded, a lot of fish were added. After a period of time, the fish grew healthily. After confirming that there were no abnormalities in the values, she left the space again.
The situation outside is even more serious than before.
The sky darkened and it looked just like evening. It was raining and windy, and the doors and windows made constant noises from the impact of the wind.
Xia Mi opened the curtains, her brows filled with worry.
I don’t know whether Huo Jingchen has returned to the army. We must not go out to sea in this weather.
The strong wind continued until noon and subsided for a while after Xia Mi had lunch.
Xia Mi hesitated whether to go find Jiang Shengmei to find out what was going on. Why did such a strong typhoon suddenly appear?
She had just found the umbrella and was about to open the door when the wind suddenly picked up.
The door panel suddenly bounced open, and the wind rushed into the house. Xia Mi felt the wind and rain hitting her face, which was very painful.
Xia Mi was shivering with cold, but she still gritted her teeth and closed the door.
When closing the door, Xia Mi almost used her body to push it, but it was still in time and she couldn't close it.
If she continues like this, her strength will be exhausted sooner or later, and the house will be in a mess, and things may even be blown down.
The black panther heard the noise and ran out from the other side. It jumped and helped Xia Mi close the door.
There was a click and the door locked.
Only then did Xia Mi feel relieved.
After just a while, the rain flowed down Xia Mi's forehead. She raised her hand to wipe the rain and found that most of her body was wet. She had to go into the room and change her clothes.
The more this happened, the more worried Xia Mi became.
I kept praying in my heart that Huo Jingchen didn't go out to sea.
By the afternoon, there was no sign of the noise outside decreasing, so Xia Mi called Black Panther into the house. She lay on the bed and prepared to take a nap, hoping that it would be quiet outside when she woke up.
The black panther was lying on the ground, and as soon as it met Xia Mi's gaze, it stuck out its tongue and grinned foolishly.
When Xia Mi wasn't looking at it, it closed its mouth and looked around nervously.
After a nap, when Xia Mi opened her eyes, it was already dark outside.
She reached for the flashlight on the bedside table and lit the kerosene lamp, illuminating a large area of the room.
I glanced at the time. It was only half past four and it was already dark.
Fortunately, it was finally quiet outside and the wind and rain had stopped.
Xia Mi walked out with the kerosene lamp, put the things on the table, and went to open the door.
The moment she opened the door, the fishy smell of earth and a damp and salty smell hit her in the face. Xia Mi turned around and picked up the kerosene lamp, only to find that the vegetable field had been completely flooded.
Even her bread kiln was half destroyed, with only half left.
The yard was a mess.
Xia Mi took Black Panther to Jiang Shengmei's house.
Jiang Shengmei's house was not much better than Xia Mi's. In fact, more things were damaged. The chicken coop they had built before was completely scraped and turned into a pile of ruins.
The vegetable fields were also all flooded.
When Xia Mi went there, Jiang Shengmei was standing in the yard with a heartbroken look on her face, not saying a word.
Only when she saw Xia Mi coming did she come to her senses.
"Xia Mi, you're not scared, are you?"
"I'm a little scared, sister-in-law. Have you ever encountered such a situation before?"
Xia Mi still feels a little scared when she thinks about it now.
Jiang Shengmei shook her head. "This is the first time I've encountered such a situation in more than ten years. Not to mention you, even I was scared."
"Sister-in-law, has Captain Jiang ever come back?"
"No, he was called away early in the morning. He said he had something urgent to do and couldn't go home even with the typhoon. Don't worry too much about Jingchen."
Yes, when a typhoon comes, I have to stay in the army.
Xia Mi felt a little relieved, but the uneasiness in her heart did not completely disappear.
"I just heard Sister Chunhua's cry. I'll go over to see how she is." Xia Mi thought of the cry she heard in the morning from Fan Chunhua and was worried that something had happened.
"I'll go too, just in case anything happens so I can help."
Xia Mi knocked on the door, "Sister Chunhua, are you okay?"
"Chunhua, open the door."
Xia Mi knocked on the door several times, but no one responded, which made the people outside even more anxious.
"Come with me. I know her backyard. We can go in from the backyard."
Jiang Shengmei's face was solemn. Anyone who was not deaf could hear her and Xia Mi's voices. Fan Chunhua was slow to open the door, so she must have been in danger.
