Chapter 111 Tornado 1
Xia Xiaoman was sitting aside, daydreaming optimistically, while Fu Baiwei was pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Stop walking around. It's making my eyes dizzy."
Being walked around in disdain by Xia Xiaoman, Fu Baiwei endured her anxiety and sat quietly for ten seconds. She really couldn't sit still anymore, so she walked to the corner and sorted out the things in the basement and put them in place one by one.
Seeing her busy as hell, Xia Xiaoman said, "Don't bother. Just leave the bag of flour like this. Don't pile it up for me. Otherwise, it will be hard to get when I need it."
Upon hearing this, Fu Baiwei put down the flour, picked up the pots and pans next to her and started to tidy up.
Xia Xiaoman was speechless. "Why didn't I realize that you love working so much before? You won't stop for even a minute."
Fu Baiwei said as she sorted out the supplies: "I am like this. I get anxious easily and need to find something to do. If I don't have anything to do, I will become more and more anxious. Just leave me alone."
Xia Xiaoman looked puzzled. "Why are you so anxious? We are safe hiding in the basement."
"I'm worried about Sun Haiyun..." As soon as Fu Baiwei said this, she couldn't hold back her tears. "If anything happens to him, I don't know how I'm going to live in the future..."
Xia Xiaoman was silent for a moment, "Do you like your boyfriend so much?"
Fu Baiwei wiped her tears and shook her head, "You don't understand. Ayun is the best person in the world to me. He gave me the courage to live."
"There are four people in my family. In addition to my parents, I have a younger sister. My sister has a heart disease. Since I was young, my parents asked me to put my sister first in everything and give in to her in everything because she is in poor health and cannot stand stimulation."
"Don't think I'm happy like a fool at school every day. As soon as I get home, I'm not allowed to talk loudly or laugh loudly, for fear that the noise will scare my sister."
"When the flood hit, there was no food at home. I couldn't swim, but my parents forced me to go into the water to salvage supplies. I was washed away when I was salvaging supplies."
Fu Baiwei's voice was choked with sobs. She looked at Xia Xiaoman with red eyes, "Do you know how my parents reacted after I was washed away by the flood? They were so anxious that they used sticks to poke at the supplies, trying to hook them back..."
Fu Baiwei smiled bitterly, "Look, in the eyes of my parents, I am not as important as a bag of supplies."
She wiped away her tears and continued, "At that time, I had lost all hope and let myself be washed away by the flood. I thought that I would die anyway, and no one would care about me anyway."
"It was Ayun who saved me and took care of me like a family member. My life belongs to him. Without him, I really don't know what I would do in the future."
She wasn't a love-brained person, it was just because that person was Sun Haiyun, the Sun Haiyun who saved her...
Xia Xiaoman pursed her lips. She was not good at comforting others, so she could only say dryly, "The power station is a key development project of Fucheng. Your boyfriend is considered a high-end talent in this field. In order to prevent the loss of talent, the people above will definitely transfer your boyfriend to a safe place. Don't worry about it."
Before he finished speaking, there was another loud bang. The sound of the tornado outside was like a giant beast roaring madly, making a continuous howling sound, which made people tremble with fear.
Outside the house, the tornado swept through the entire city mercilessly, destroying every house in its path. Newly installed electric poles that had never been used rose from the ground in the blink of an eye and flew into the sky in a spinning posture.
Those who didn't have time to hide indoors screamed and ran around, trying to find a safe shelter. But how could humans compare to the speed of a tornado? Before they could even shout for help, they were swept into the sky.
People living on high floors were not spared either, as their windows and bodies were blown away. Some buildings, already vulnerable to heavy rain, flooding and scorching sun, collapsed in an instant under the tornado.
…
The place where the tornado passed was in a mess, and there were many corpses on the ground with their limbs twisted and their faces disfigured after falling from high altitudes.
This kind of hell on earth lasted for more than two hours.
Fu Baiwei, who was hiding in the basement, pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, then said, "Xiaoman, listen, has the wind outside stopped?"
Xia Xiaoman listened for a while, then carefully opened the door to the basement. Suddenly, there was a clang, and she quickly closed the door in fright. Looking back, she saw that it was Fu Baiwei who had kicked the stool over in a hurry.
It was a false alarm. Xia Xiaoman opened the door again and made sure there was no movement outside before going out.
Fu Baiwei ran to the street and looked around. Seeing the tornado gradually moving away in the sky, she turned around and shouted to Xia Xiaoman, "I'm going to the power station to find my boyfriend. Be careful!" Then she picked up a wooden stick that had been blown from somewhere and ran out of the community.
Xia Xiaoman shook her head helplessly. It was just a boyfriend. It was as if she didn't have one. Well, she didn't have one, and she didn't want one.
After watching Fu Baiwei leave, Xia Xiaoman looked back at her villa. Oh my! The wall that she had spent a huge amount of money to build had collapsed, the attic had been smashed down by something unknown, and a corner of the balcony of the small room on the second floor had also been smashed.
If someone who is not well-off saw a house like this, he would probably cry.
Xia Xiaoman sighed and resigned herself to cleaning up the house. It didn't matter if the wall wasn't built for a while, but the attic had to be cleaned up, otherwise how could she install the generator.
Fortunately, only the ceiling of the attic was damaged, everything else was fine and the load-bearing walls were not in danger.
The tornado appeared at about 12 o'clock. When Xia Xiaoman finished cleaning the attic, it was already daybreak. Feeling the scorching sun, she knew that the extreme heat had not yet passed, so she had to stop and go back to the basement.
The weather is hot and humid, and even the basement is not very cool.
The modified electric fan that Su Ran and the others gave her finally came in handy. She took out the generator, connected the fan to electricity, and also connected two desk lamps for lighting.
When she turned on the desk lamp, Xia Xiaoman discovered that the pregnant rabbit had given birth to a baby. It was probably when she went to tidy up the attic.
The first pregnancy only gave birth to three rabbits. But maybe they ate well during pregnancy, the three rabbits were very strong, kicking their feet and constantly drilling into the little mother rabbit's arms.
Considering the stuffy environment in the basement and worried that the baby rabbits would die of heat, Xia Xiaoman connected an ordinary electric fan and blew it towards the litter of female rabbits.
After a whole night of worry, Xia Xiaoman ate something simple and went to bed.
She slept very uneasily that day. She dreamed that she was being chased by a huge tornado. No matter how she ran, she couldn't escape. Finally, she was swept into the sky by the tornado and fell to her death.
I woke up and checked the time. It was only a little after 1:00 p.m. I couldn't sleep, so I got up and cleaned up the second floor.
Some of the doors and windows on the second and first floors were blown away by the wind, and some were smashed. Things in the house were blown all over the place. It would be impossible to live in the house without cleaning it up.
There were no windows to block the heat, so all the heat from outside poured into the room. Xia Xiaoman had only been cleaning for half an hour, but her clothes were already dripping with water, as if they had been washed but not wrung out.
Suddenly I felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
Xia Xiaoman knew that she might have suffered from heat stroke, so she sat down against the wall, drank a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and took a few iced drinks to put in her arms and on her forehead to dissipate the heat. After more than ten minutes, the dizziness symptoms were relieved.
