Chapter 37 The Typhoon is Coming
Zhou's mother nodded: "I said it was broadcast all morning this morning."
Jiang Xia thought of the plot in the book, which only said that a typhoon landed near this area, and then after the typhoon the beach was full of shrimps.
Only the heroine was nearly swept away by the waves while chasing a fish. The book did not mention any other casualties, except that some families lost their boats.
She felt a little relieved.
Jiang Xia reminded: "Then remember to find a safe place to dock our boat and tie it up."
Zhou Chenglei nodded: "I'll go and take a look after dinner."
Jiang Xia felt that one good thing about Zhou Chenglei was that he was willing to listen to other people's opinions.
No need to explain too much, as long as it is useful and good, he is not afraid of the trouble.
After dinner, Zhou's mother took the initiative to clean up the dishes and wash them.
Zhou's mother has always been hardworking. She does all the housework at home, so Jiang Xia doesn't have to do it.
Zhou Chenglei went to park the boat.
Jiang Xia went to cut watermelon.
It was really hot all day today, stuffy and hot, with no wind at all. Eating some watermelon can help cool down.
The next day, the wind and waves were very strong. The sky was overcast all day without the sun. It was probably because there was a typhoon offshore. The waves were huge and we couldn't go out to sea. Zhou Chenglei built a grape trellis at home and checked the roof.
It really rained at night, the raindrops hit the tiles, there was the sound of things being blown down in the yard, and the wind was roaring outside.
The noise was so loud that Jiang Xia, who had just fallen into a deep sleep, was woken up and opened his eyes.
Zhou Chenglei's voice rang out: "It's okay, the typhoon is coming, it's still early, go back to sleep!"
The sound of rain and wind outside was getting louder and louder, and Jiang Xia couldn't sleep.
Suddenly she heard a ticking sound coming from the closet.
Zhou Chenglei sat up.
Jiang Xia also sat up and asked, "Is it leaking?"
Zhou Chenglei nodded: "It should be. I'll go find a basin to collect water."
After all, it is an old house that is decades old. Although the tiles have been repaired, there is always a loophole. If it has not been through wind and rain, you won’t know where the leak is.
Zhou Chenglei got out of bed, turned on the light, and found that there was rain leaking from the wardrobe, so he quickly walked out.
Jiang Xia was still lying on the bed. After waiting for a while, Zhou Chenglei did not come back. Suddenly, the light bulb went out and there was a power outage.
Not long after, she heard a series of crashing sounds coming from outside.
It must be that the roof tiles were blown off by the typhoon!
She was startled and worried that Zhou Chenglei might have been hit, so she called out "Zhou Chenglei" several times, but no one answered.
She quickly got out of bed and ran out.
As soon as I left the room, the draft mixed with rain blew into the hall. The wind was so strong that I could hardly stand!
A flash of lightning appeared in the sky, and Jiang Xia saw that things in the yard were blown all over the place, there was a pile of broken tiles on the ground, and the tiles in the utility room were blown down.
Zhou Chenglei was nowhere to be seen. It didn't take that long to get a basin. She was worried that he might be knocked unconscious in the utility room. She waited for the wind to pass and then ran out quickly: "Zhou Chenglei! Zhou Chenglei..."
He had only run a few steps when the tiles in the utility room were blown up by the strong wind and flew towards Jiang Xia!
An enamel basin in the patio was also picked up by the wind and flew over! Jiang Xia was blown away by the evil wind. She couldn't control her body and could only subconsciously raise her hand to block it.
A figure appeared out of nowhere, pulled her, and protected her between the wall and his arms.
Jiang Xia only heard a series of "bang bang bang" sounds of tiles hitting the basin.
Tiles shattered on the ground under their feet.
Before Jiang Xia could react, Zhou Chenglei had already picked up Jiang Xia with one hand, rushed into the house, put her down, and then quickly closed the door to block out the violent storm raging outside.
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Chenglei was holding an enamel basin in his hand. He had just used the basin to cover his head and his arm was scratched, but what was this minor injury?
He didn't take it seriously.
"It's okay. I used a basin to cover my head. There was a typhoon. Why did you run out?"
Jiang Xia: "I heard the sound of tiles falling, and I was worried that you might get hurt."
Jiang Xia saw that his arm seemed to be bleeding, but the light was dim and he couldn't tell whether it was true or not.
Zhou's father and mother also came out at this time: "What's wrong? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
There was a power outage, and the two elders couldn't see that Zhou Chenglei was injured.
Zhou Chenglei: "It's okay, the room is leaking. I'll go out and get a basin. Is your room leaking? I'll go get another basin. It's windy outside, the tiles are blown off, don't go out."

Father Zhou: "There is no leak in our room. Which tile is flying off?"
"The tiles on the firewood shed were blown away." We went up to check and reinforce them yesterday, but they were still blown away. This shows how powerful this typhoon is.
Zhou's mother went to find a flashlight: "I'll go check if there are any leaks in other rooms, so that the grain won't get soaked. Fortunately, the house was repaired before, otherwise all the tiles might have been blown away. This typhoon is a bit strong!"
Zhou Chenglei: "I've checked, there's no leak. No need to check, go back to sleep, don't go out, it's dangerous."
"You guys go back to sleep! We'll wait and see. We won't go out." Zhou's father and mother were still worried, so they went to check Zhou Zhou and another room.
Zhou's mother planned to sleep with Zhou Zhou. The child was sleeping soundly and hadn't woken up yet, but if he woke up, she was afraid she would be scared.
Zhou Chenglei told the two elders not to go out and then pulled Jiang Xia back to the room.
Zhou Chenglei returned to the room, took out a flashlight, turned it on, placed the basin in his hand on top of the wardrobe to collect the water, and wiped the accumulated water on the top of the wardrobe with a cloth.
The flashlight was on, and Jiang Xia could see clearly the several wounds on Zhou Chenglei's arm.
Jiang Xia waited for him to finish wiping, then pulled his hand over and checked it with a flashlight. "There are two deep wounds, and they are still bleeding. You need to apply some medicine."
Others are shallower.
He must have had a wound on his back as well, because his clothes were stained with blood.
Jiang Xia: "Take off your clothes and I'll help you treat your wound."
When Jiang Xia was looking at Zhou Chenglei to see if she was injured, Zhou Chenglei was also looking at Jiang Xia to see if she was injured, worried that she was also injured by the tiles.
Jiang Xia was not injured, but her clothes were soaked. Her pajamas were white, and when wet, they stuck to her skin and looked particularly transparent.
The flashlight showed everything. Zhou Chenglei saw that she was not injured and looked away: "I'm fine. Change your clothes first and check if you are injured. I'll go out for a while."
"Where are you going? I'm fine. Let me apply the medicine on you first." Jiang Xia held him back and looked down at herself.
“…”
"I'd better change my clothes first!" It was the first time Jiang Xia was so embarrassed that he stuttered and quickly let go.
Zhou Chenglei walked out.
Jiang Xia took less than a minute to change his clothes quickly. He took a quick look and made sure nothing was wrong. After getting dressed neatly, he opened the door and went out to call Zhou Chenglei in. His face was still a little hot.
Zhou Chenglei walked in.
Jiang Xia closed the door and said, "Take off your clothes!"
