Chapter 137 (continued)

Their wings flapped and whooshed, adding a touch of life to the dull pasture.

Shi Wen them shooing the pigeons home, and then taking a plastic sheet off the forklift and covering the beehives with it.

Although his beehives are covered with a pavilion and have wooden benches underneath, protecting them securely in the middle, the pavilion has aged considerably after so much wind and sun, and the plastic sheeting on it is also a bit worn. He needs to replace it with new ones before the heavy rain comes.

Shi Wen was working here, Yan Kexing returned ahead of time with Gong Jiang and the other two.

Yan Kexing up on his motorcycle. "Is there anything else you need to do?"

Shi Wen shouted at the top of his lungs, "That's basically it! Just take these bales of straw back to the warehouse."

Gong Jiang: "Should we bring a small truck?"

Shi Wen, "Opening it is fine, it would be more convenient."

They came to help, Shi Wen that the speed at which they were moving the hay bales had increased.

Although they have forklifts and small trucks, they cannot rely on machinery for the entire process. The process of moving the hay bales up and down to the warehouse still requires manual assistance.

Gong Jiang and the other two came over to help, and they carried dozens of bundles of straw with great care, including Ge Yue.

Ge Yue works in the field year-round, and most of the time, people don't pay attention to her gender. They just think of her as someone who is a little weak, and they don't think of her as a woman.

She never missed a single task, and in fact, she did it faster and better than most people. Even when she was out helping out, she never held back and always did her best to help.

After finally finishing everything, everyone went back inside to drink honey water.

Ge Yue's chest and back were completely soaked. She sat in front of the electric fan, letting it blow hard on her.

Everyone was exhausted and huddled in their own corners, not really wanting to talk.

Ge Yue broke the silence first. "It's been a long time since we've had this kind of impending storm. Who would have thought it would be so dark before three in the afternoon?"

Shi Wen cut a watermelon and shared it, saying, "I think so too. When I felt the humidity outside this morning, I wondered if I had returned to the city I used to live in. It's so muggy today."

Gong Jiang: "The weather has been rather unusual lately."

Shi Wen, "It hasn't been like this lately; the weather seems to be constantly changing, never quite stable."

Lin Chengqian took the watermelon and exclaimed, "Brother Shi, your words are so insightful, showing real scientific wisdom!"

People often complain about abnormal weather, but in reality, the weather is not fixed at all; it is constantly changing, and glacial and interglacial periods are not fixed.

As a livestock herder, Shi Wen clearly noticed this change in climate.

He looked through the data and found that this decade should be warmer and more humid than the previous decade.

In particular, some areas that were originally deserts have now grown grass and small shrubs.

This is partly due to the efforts of everyone in restoring grazing land to grassland and planting trees, but also to changes in the overall environment.

Everyone sat inside, eating melon seeds and chatting while looking outside.

Before long, the raindrops began to fall in a pattering sound.

As the raindrops pounded down, a breeze finally swept through the air, dispelling the previous oppressive atmosphere.

The breeze was so refreshing that even when it was raining, Shi Wen couldn't resist opening the window a crack.

Just then, a muffled sound Shi Wen heard in the distance, as if something heavy was falling from the sky.

He tried to move his ears, but they were no longer in the form of animal ears and could not move freely. He also could not catch clearer sounds by turning his ears, so he had to go to the window and examine them carefully.

To his surprise, it wasn't hailing outside.

Gong Jiang and the others probably didn't hear this strange sound.

Shi Wen cast a questioning look at Yan Kexing.

Yan Kexing nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that he had heard as well.

Shi Wen walked up to Yan Kexing and whispered, "Something fell down outside, right?"

Yan Kexing: "Yes, not raindrops."

Shi Wen, "I knew it. I thought I misheard."

The wind and rain outside were very loud, and they stood there talking in hushed tones, so the three people beside them, including Gong Jiang, couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

However, the atmosphere between the two of them was exceptionally intimate, so the three of them didn't want to pry, and could only continue their aimless chatter.

The rain lasted for more than an hour.

After the rain subsided a little, Shi Wen couldn't help but say, "Shall I go out and see what's outside?"

Ge Yue: "Huh? Have some small animals come outside again?"

Shi Wen, "Maybe not, it looks like something fell down."

Shi Wen picked up an umbrella from the side, and Yan Kexing followed behind him. "I'll go with you."

Having nothing to do, Gong Jiang and his two companions said, "Let's go too."

So, the five of them, holding umbrellas, went outside.

The yard was normal, except that the firewood piled under the eaves was a bit messy from the wind, there was nothing unusual about it.

Shi Wen first went to check the livestock shed.

The livestock and the little ones were all inside quietly.

When Heiwa and Le Wa saw them coming, they even came out of their den to greet them, Wolf King, An Wa, and a few other lazy ones just wagged their tails perfunctorily.

As for Cong Zai, the little snow leopard, and the little fox, the three little ones were fast asleep amidst the sound of wind and rain. When they heard the noise, they only covered their eyes with their paws and showed no intention of waking up.

There were no problems here, Shi Wen rushed over to the poultry shed.

The Bresse chickens and geese were doing well; the wind and rain did not disturb them.

The pigeons were also staying quietly in the pigeon loft.

Shi Wen checked the data displayed on the app and saw that all of them had flown back to their nests without missing a single one; the number had not decreased.

Shi Wen breathed a sigh of relief Shi Wen that all the pets in the house were doing well.
