The fire in the fireplace more than six meters long was burning vigorously.
A circle of sofas was placed around the fireplace on the carpet, red flames licked the dark charcoal, the pine resin burned and crackled sparks from time to time, and the stone walls were grilled for years, and a layer of black light was emitted.
The living room is filled with the unique fragrance of pine wood. My father is dressed similarly to him, and even thicker. He is talking to lawyer Clark.
He walked over and asked in confusion: "Good morning, Mr. Clark, there is no need to hold the court today?"
"Yes, traffic in Grand Falls City was paralyzed, and the roof of the judge's house was crushed by snow. He didn't bother to hear the case and postponed it for two days. If the snow did not stop, he would probably have to delay it."
My father looked not very good-looking, and he covered his stomach with his hands and drank a few glasses of warm yogurt. It was probably because he drank too much wine last night.
The bodyguards were like refugees, sleeping in the corner of the wall wrapped in quilts. Only Irving was dozing off and holding on. Look at the time and wake up George to change shifts. No one would come out in this kind of weather. The snowflakes in the sky were the greatest guarantee. They rarely relaxed, but the sound of shouting was too noisy, one after another.
"Son, our ranch has suffered a lot today. The vegetable sheds in the vegetable plantation were crushed by snow. They dusted the snow at night, but there were not enough people, and the snow fell faster than dusted.
Such heavy snow plastic film cannot support it. After the collapse, all the vegetables inside were frozen to death. The wires were also broken just now. Now the entire ranch has power outages, and the vegetable greenhouse has to rely on insulation lights to keep warm. Lewis said that the temperature in the vegetable shed has dropped to minus seven degrees Celsius, and it is estimated that all the vegetables in this season will be frozen to death."
The boy's father was frustrated, and thousands of acres of vegetable fields meant losses of millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Anyway, it was very high and he was too lazy to calculate.
Han Xuan asked, "Where are the cattle and sheep?"
"They were fine. Old Patton arranged for people to go to the roof to sweep the snow a few times at night. With this in mind when building, nothing happened yet.
However, more than a dozen sheep were frozen to death, and more than twenty cows were killed. This is just what I found so far. It’s okay to freeze to death. Now I emptied my internal organs and put them in the cold storage. After inspection, I kept them in the cafeteria to eat..."
Standing by the window.
The sky was dark and the snowflakes were everywhere, and there was no tendency to stop. The visibility was less than twenty meters.
Several pine trees showed a little green, and the fountain in the garden was completely frozen, forming countless drooping crystal icicles, which were crushed by the snow and made a sound.
The eyes were filled with snow, birch forests, Rota Lake, and nothing could be seen.
The car that lawyer Clark and Dai Ni drove last night only have a roof. Judging from the shape, it is a car. The thickness of the snow can be almost flush with the windowsill, which means it is almost one meter.
In this kind of weather, people can only be trapped at home. In the past, cowboys could sweep the snow, but this time they couldn't sweep it, so they could only wait until it stopped before thinking about a solution.
There was no electricity in the villa, so the central air conditioner was also shut down. The orange-red fire illuminated the entire living room. Last night, Joanna went to carry wood after she found it snowed. There was a lot of piled up next to the stove. There was no need to worry about heating for the time being. She wiped the black and gray on her face and smiled and said, "I'll go and prepare breakfast for you. We've eaten it."
"Thank you, where are Winnie and the others?" Han Xuan looked around and didn't see the animals, and couldn't help but worry.
"They are fine, they are in the warehouse. I added a stove to them in the middle of the night, and later I was going to add wood. I found that Winnie would throw it into the fire himself. This guy is getting smarter and smarter. If he wants to see it, he walks through the door."
Han Xuan nodded and walked through the corridor to the small door to the south. There was direct access to the garage and warehouse. It was not used many times and was locked all year round.
Pushing open the door, Winnie sat in the quilt, wrapped herself in a blanket, and various animals spread out around the stove.
******* The first time I experienced the cold winter in Montana, I was so cold that I started to start. When I saw him coming in, I complained.
Like it, there are two little pandas. They are close to Winnie's big stove to keep warm and sleep soundly. McDull wrapped a few blankets on his body and stuck out his tongue to eat the fruit on the ground. The cow is fine. He lying next to the stove to ruminate. The Johnny Turtle is already hibernating and does not need warm facilities. He sleeps with his eyes closed...
The small warehouse is not large in space, so the temperature is higher than in the house. Seeing that the fire became smaller, Winnie threw two more firewood into it. The splashed sparks fell on McDull, which scared it so much that it screamed. It got up and shook hard, its two long ears swayed around, and its expression was crazy.
Facing the questioning look at the mini donkey, Winnie lay back in a daze, wrapped herself in the quilt, and it was also in hibernation season, but it could hold on at this temperature, yelled at Han Xuan and started to sleep.
Seeing that they were fine, Han Xuan said to McDull: "Come to me when the fire is extinguished, and I will keep the door open."
McDull nodded cleverly and closed his eyes.
In the living room, my father was putting down the phone, breathing a sigh of relief, and saying, "Barton asked someone to sweep out a passage and feed cattle and sheep.
The water in the sink was frozen, and they had to boil and feed them with warm water. The workload was quite large. The old cowshed collapsed several times, and the sheep pen was a little damaged, and many merinos were injured.
I haven't encountered such a hurry in many years. The milk powder factory stopped working and was arranging people to repair the circuit. When the weather cleared, I would replace all the poles and bury them in the ground. The construction of the manure water treatment plant would also be postponed."
Han Xuan said: "Try to minimize the losses. You can still plant vegetables when they are gone. The infrastructure is well protected, which will only take a few months.
It’s so cold that the feces won’t smell bad. Find a place to pile them up first and wait until the snow stops before dealing with it.”
"Well, I told Old Patton this way, I'll call the State Meteorological Bureau to see when the snow will stop. If this continues, the house will be buried."
Joanna made the sandwich and brought it to her. Seeing Dai Ni's hair scattered downstairs, wrapped in a quilt, and sneezing from time to time, she said with a funny look: "I'll go get my cotton coat for you. After breakfast is ready, let's eat it first."
"I don't have the appetite, put on my clothes first, it's so cold." Dai Ni muttered, her nose hanging to her mouth, sucked it back hard, pulled out a piece of paper and wringed it clean, trotting to the stove, and sat on the sofa, "Is the power outage? The air conditioner has been in the middle, and my quilt has fallen to the ground, and I'm awakened by the cold."
"Hmm." Clark put his hand on her forehead, feeling a little hot, "Do you have a fever?"
"There is an emergency medicine box at home. I'll take your temperature for you. If you don't work, take some medicine."
Hearing Joanna's words, Dai Ni was about to refuse, but said, "Okay, please trouble you."
Han Xuan picked up the sandwich and took a bite, looked at her speechlessly. When he heard his father be surprised and said that he couldn't stop for a while, he turned his head and looked out the window. The snow increased a lot in such a short time, and the sky was still gloomy, and it really didn't look like he was about to stop.
Fat Ding ran downstairs quickly, jumped to the sofa and shivered, complaining and looked at Han Xuan. This guy went to the attic without closing the window, and he froze to death.
