Chapter 264 Typhoon?
In the evening, everyone went home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a newly built bird's nest. Several fluffy little heads were peeking out of the nest, their sharp beaks wide open, chirping and begging for food.
"Isn't this the bird Mao Mao?"
Lou Fengju grabbed a handful of millet and enthusiastically fed each of the little birds a handful. After being fed, the little birds ate their fill and obediently tucked their little heads back into their new nest, huddling together in a fluffy ball.
"Mao Mao decided to raise birds? And there are even a few more now?"
Lou Hongjian complained bitterly: "Brother, don't even mention it. I've taken these birds and run them around our house several times, covering every tree, but Mao Mao won't let me release them. I think I'll have to sleep with these birds tonight."
"You're not allowed to release it?" Lou Fengju asked casually, "Why?"
Lou Hongjian: "There's no reason why, Mao Mao just said it wouldn't work."
Lou Fengju was taken aback: "No way? Mao Mao said it herself."
"How could it be fake?" Lou Hongjian said with a worried look, "Brother, you have to think of a way."
Lou Fengju's expression hardened.
He glanced at his useless third brother, casually took off his military cap and put it on the table, and strode into the house.
Lou Fengju called out loudly, "A-Sui—"
Lou Yansui is playing with her younger sister.
He was teaching Mao Mao about celestial bodies in the universe: "This is Jupiter, the largest of the eight planets..."
Mao Mao looked completely bewildered.
Hearing her elder brother's call, Mao Mao perked up and immediately struggled in Lou Yansui's arms: "Brother!"
Lou Yansui loosened her grip, and Mao Mao climbed off the sofa and ran outside, bumping into Lou Fengju's leg as he walked into the house.
"Mao Mao." Lou Fengju picked her up, his expression somewhat serious: "I heard from A Hong that you went to release birds' nests today?"
Mao Mao, supporting her brother, nodded vigorously, then shook her head.
"Brother, I don't know where to put Mao Mao." Mao Mao said sadly, "The cat wants to eat the little bird, but if I put it outside, the little bird will be blown away."
"Blown away?"
"Um!"
Mao Mao looked worried: "If it rains, the birds will get sick. My second brother said that birds will die if they get sick. Brother, can you keep a bird?"
Lou Fengju: "I can help you keep him in the military."
Mao Mao's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"
"Not only can I keep them, but you can also visit them often."
Lou Fengju carried his younger sister and sat down on the sofa. As he spoke, he exchanged a glance with his youngest brother, Lou Yansui, who nodded at him.
Lou Fengju's heart sank even further.
Clearly, he wasn't the only one who found it strange.
Mao Mao is such an easy girl to coax; she rarely says no. She's also very easygoing; even if you try to fool her to her face, she won't take it to heart.
When she feels something is not going well, it's definitely because something big is about to happen.
rain?
A breeze?
Lou Yansui silently mouthed something to him, and Lou Fengju recognized it almost immediately.
typhoon.
typhoon?
Haicheng has experienced typhoons before.
Typhoons form over the sea every year and wreak havoc on coastal areas, occurring several times a year. Compared to the frequently disaster-stricken provinces of Quang and Phuc, Hai Cheng is not affected by typhoons in a very large area.
Throughout history, typhoons have ravaged the coast. People have accumulated countless experiences in preventing typhoons and have long been accustomed to them. Every summer, Haicheng also has many measures to deal with typhoons.
There will be typhoons this year, but Lou Fengju wasn't worried about it.
But Mao Mao suddenly issued a warning?
His eyelids twitched violently.
I was reminded of the sudden cold snap that hit last winter.
Haicheng experiences extremely cold winters every year, but such cold is a once-in-a-century occurrence. If it weren't for Mao Mao's sudden warning, countless people would have suffered from the disaster without any warning.
Similarly, Haicheng experiences typhoons every year. Could this year's typhoon be particularly severe, causing countless people to suffer?
Typhoons are no small matter.
Gale-force winds and torrential rain. If the cold is like a slow, agonizing knife, then a typhoon is a swift and decisive shredder. In just one day or one night, gale-force winds can collapse buildings and torrential rains can cause floods. No one can escape its reach.
This was not a disaster that could be averted by human effort alone. Under the powerful forces of nature, human resistance was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
If a typhoon, which even Mao Mao thinks "it won't work," were to hit Haicheng...
Thinking of this, Lou Fengju couldn't sit still any longer. He handed his sister back to his brother, stood up again, and strode outside.
Mao Mao: "Huh?"
Lou Yansui brought her younger sister back and continued teaching her, "Maomao, this is Saturn..."
Maomao: "..."
Lou Hongjian was still sighing at the bird.
He saw his older brother go in and then come out again, "Big brother..."
He had barely exchanged greetings when Lou Fengju, without turning back, went to the telephone, picked up the receiver, and dialed one number after another, his long eyebrows furrowed and his expression somewhat solemn.
Lou Hongjian: "..."
He wisely refrained from interrupting and swallowed back the words that were about to slip out.
I looked down again and met the gaze of several chirping fledglings.
...Is he really going to sleep with birds?
