In the evening, Naoki was awakened by a whimpering wind.
He opened his eyes and found that it was already five-fifty.
The weather forecast for the next few days was just playing on the TV.
The weather announcer wearing an OL uniform and black-rimmed glasses is making a forecast diligently:
"Typhoon [Wu Ping] will enter the territory of Padea at 3 o'clock tonight. Due to the impact of [Wu Ping], the coastal area is expected to experience large-scale rainfall in the next three days, occasionally accompanied by strong winds. We hope that all citizens will be concerned about it.
Good doors and windows, be prepared in advance.”
typhoon?
Zhi Shu was stunned for a moment, and an outline map of the Padia region emerged in his mind. On the map, Ziqin Town was located just on the edge of the area, which meant that his pasture would also be affected.
Orange light filled the entire room, and looking out through the window, all one could see was a gray and dark sky.
Perhaps because they were tired from playing, the Pokémon that were playing outside all returned indoors.
The Cream Fairy hid in the cupboard, Mini Fu returned to the flower pot, Bu Bo lay on the carpet at the door and yawned, and even the dragon returned to the elf ball.
Rainy days do make people sleepy.
After looking out the window for a while, Zhi Shu yawned, then turned around and looked at Gulton lying on the side.
Therefore, Luton was the oldest one. Even though he was galloping on all fours, his body was taller than the rocking chair under Naoki.
Therefore, Luton was sleeping soundly, with his eyes closed, his eyelids occasionally trembling slightly, his abdomen rising and falling with his breathing, and his big head resting on the side.
Not to mention, at first glance I thought Gulton looked quite strange, but after getting along with him for a long time, I found Gulton to be quite cute.
Zhi Shu made no sound, the wind whimpered in the house, and the lights in the room were bright. The two completely different environments formed a strong contrast.
Being indoors, Naoki felt very at ease. He looked at Gulton quietly, observed its sleeping posture, and then reached out and gently touched Gulton's cheek.
Therefore, Leden woke up instantly, his golden pupils suddenly opened, his pupils stood up, and his face showed vigilance.
But after seeing Naoki next to it, it quickly returned to its original state, yawned, and looked sleepy.
"Ah geez..."
Naoki stood up and left the rocking chair, carried Bubu who was sleeping on the carpet to the bed, then opened the door, felt the wind blowing in his face, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"It's going to rain!"
Therefore, Luton also stood up, shook his head, and regained his energy.
Because he was worried that there would be strong winds at night and destroy the facilities in the ranch, after waking up, Zhi Shu did not make dinner immediately. Instead, he put on his shoes, took the Poke Ball, and went to the chicken hut.
Over time, the chicks that hatch from the eggs learn how much to eat.
Therefore, there is no need to use an artificial feeding system, and the hens should be allowed to eat freely.
Zhi Shu took out the feed from the silo, filled the trough and water tank with chicken feed and drinking water, and carefully closed the doors and windows of the chicken house.
After making sure that nothing was missed, he left here and went to the salt house where the salt gems lived.
Five salt stone gems were stacked together and looking out the window with worried expressions.
Ordinary Pokémon are naturally afraid of this oppressive weather.
The power of nature is terrifying.
Looking at the five mounted lambs, Naoki invited: "Let's go back to the elf ball to sleep tonight! There will be strong winds in the early morning, and we will come back after the weather clears up."
"Salt salt!"
Yan Shibao had no objection. They were also a little afraid of the gloomy, windy and rainy weather, so they quickly nodded in agreement.
Then, Naoki went to the sheepfold where the lamb was mounted.
The three mounted lambs were lying there leisurely grazing, seemingly unaffected by the weather.
Seeing their appearance, Naoki imagined the three of them facing the storm, holding leaf blades in their mouths, and defeating the typhoon with one sword. He even began to doubt whether the typhoon could beat the lamb.
The sheep pen was surrounded by a fence, and the awning in the middle was leaking from all sides, so it might not be able to withstand the typhoon.
After thinking for a moment, Naoki took back the pokeballs.
"You three don't want your wool to get soaked by the rain, do you?" Naoki asked. Seeing the lamb nodding, he continued: "Then come here and spend the night!"
After taking back the pokeballs from the three mounted lambs, Zhi Shu went to the hive of the three bees.
The three bees will not go out to collect honey on rainy days. Naoki wanted the three bees to come into the house together, but they refused.
Naoki thought about it carefully and thought maybe staying in a familiar hive could bring them more security, right?
Thinking of this, Zhi Shu squatted down and checked the safety of the hive.
The four legs of the hive are firmly fixed in the soil, so there is no need to worry about being blown away by typhoons.
At this time, it started to rain.
Seeing this, Zhi Shu left enough honey for the three bees to use as food, and then quickly ran back to the eaves.
Bad Butterfly had arrived here early and was standing on its nest, looking down at the straight tree below that was soaked by the rain.
"Eh?"
Naoki grinned: "It's okay, don't worry, you can go in and sleep at night!"
"咒咿~"
Bada Huo happily agreed.
The work of preparing for the typhoon was completed. Naoki took a breath and started preparing dinner.
But before he could enter the room, he heard Bada Huo making a confused cry: "咒咿?"
Zhi Shu turned around and saw Mayor Thomas in a raincoat rushing over.
Naoki was a little surprised and quickly welcomed the person into the house: "Mayor Thomas, why are you here?"
Thomas didn't go in. He had mud on his feet and would make the floor dirty if he went in.
He stood under the eaves and looked around the entire ranch, panting and saying: "I won't go in. I'm here to tell you that the typhoon is coming. You have to prepare in advance! Put all Pokémon and animals away Bring it into the room, lock the doors and windows, and put away the feed!"
He had just seen the weather forecast at home and thought that Zhi Shu, who had returned from other places, might not have experience in facing typhoons, so he hurried over and informed him of the incident.
Hearing Mayor Thomas' words, Naoki felt a little moved. He smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I'm ready!"
"That's fine." Mayor Thomas nodded: "I don't have anything else to do. Since you've taken care of everything, I won't say anything anymore. I have to go back!"
As he spoke, he released a motorcycle lizard from the elf ball, rode on it, and hurried back and forth.
Naoki stood under the eaves and watched the old man go away, then shook his head slightly with emotion.
They are all good people!
Whether it's a Pokémon or a human.
Mayor Thomas who takes great care of him, Zach who is bold and generous, the enthusiastic and patient rancher, and the hard-working Kelly...
Speaking of Zach, he should have already received the goods today.
Today, the mount lamb is in the milk-producing CD, and Yan Shibao has not saved enough rock salt. The only thing that can be sold is the pile of mushrooms growing in the cave behind.
When he was busy in the morning, he picked the mushrooms in advance and put them in the shipping box.
Thinking of this, Naoki checked the shipping box, and sure enough, he found the money left by Zach inside.
He put the money away, then walked into the house and started preparing dinner for everyone.
The rain outside the window became heavier and heavier, gradually forming a curtain of rain. Unlike the dark and gloomy outside, there was a warm and peaceful scene inside the wooden house.
