Chapter 172 Sand Storm
As the temperature rises to forty-five degrees, the safe zone ushers in the first sandstorm.
Sandstorms are a symbol of desertification, strong winds sweep the sand on the ground, which is one of the most dangerous natural disasters.
A sandstorm swept from the mountains for three kilometers Wan Tao knocked on the lid of the stainless steel pot with a stick, reminding everyone to close the doors and windows with the loudest sound.
Ye Fu moved the items in the courtyard back to the wooden house, and locked the shed and sheepfold Fortunately, Jiang Rong had made repairs before, and even the tenth strong wind was unable to blow it away.
Remove the oil cloth to cover the pond, remove all vegetables in the vegetable field, and put all the watermelon into the space.
In just ten minutes, the sky was covered in yellow sand, and the sound of "woo woo woo" rang out, and the storm passed through the trees and grass, and headed straight for the safe zone.
Ye Fu whistled three times, and Doomiao and Luoluo finally returned home a few seconds before the storm arrived at the cabin, Ye Fu closed the door and watched the wind roar outside through the window.
The wind and sand blew into the window, and the clean glass was immediately covered in thick sand, and the house shook amidst the storm.
Faintly, Ye Fu also heard the sound of Wan Tao beating the stainless steel, as well as some children's cries.
The first sandstorm lasted only an hour and ended, Ye Fu came out of the cabin and saw grass, forest, vegetable fields, and fields in a safe area, all covered in sand.
Ye Fu clawed at him with his feet, his sand was 20 centimeters thick, he wore a mask and glasses, but he still choked and coughed nonstop.
Yellow sand flew in the sky, two minutes after Ye Fu came out, his clothes and hair were covered in another layer of sand.
Jiang Rong took out a fishing net, opened a tarp, and fished all the fish in the pond. Green vegetable fields have been turned into sandy soils. The two cleaned the fish as quickly as possible, and Ye Fu again After going to the backyard, the cage and sheepfold were still sturdy, and the rabbit nest was also still intact.
Half an hour later, however, the second sandstorm came again.
With a single click, the branches of the pine trees outside the courtyard were blown away by the wind, and a stone was blown off and smashed directly into the door of the wooden house Ye Fu was washing sand from his face in the bathroom, and Jiang Rong shuffled the bean sprout, Drop the tail.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.." The wind outside the house howls and moans, the voice is deafening and frightening.
The second sandstorm lasted for about an hour and then stopped, the sand piling up outside became thicker, and people could no longer get out normally.
"I don't know when it'll stop."
Ye Fu had no idea what was going on inside the building. The main reason is that it is too fast. Jiang Rong heard a sandstorm a few kilometers away, so Ye Fu rushed over to tell Wan Tao Wan Tao Without hesitation, he tapped on the stainless steel to inform others In just ten minutes, the entire safe zone was swept away by the storm and then buried in sand.
If there are no plants on the ground outside, or if there are only a few plants, the chances of a sandstorm will only increase in the future. Rainfall this year is zero, and the ground will experience the weather faster. In the near future, maybe all the land will be desert.
Almost every half hour, a sandstorm will come, and each time lasts about an hour. On the second day, the sandstorm begins to weaken, and will come every two hours, lasting about half an hour. Come every four or four hours once every five hours, and each session lasts ten minutes.
After the sandstorm subsides, residents in the safe zone have to get out of work and choose to coexist with the storm.
All the bamboo that was brought back from the mountain was blown away by the storm. Wan Tao organized everyone to cut down the bamboo to divert the water again. The sandstorm injured 30 people in a safe zone and killed 5.
The three were swept away and disappeared, Liu Zhang took people out to search, and finally found the bodies of the three people five kilometers outside the safe zone.
Hundreds of chickens and ducks were swept away by the storm, almost all vegetable fields were destroyed by sandstorms, even many trees in the damaged safe zone, and several meters of sand fell into the pond. There were only about a dozen fish left alive.
Residents could only wear full armor and rearrange their fields and vegetable gardens.
Sijiqing seed is blown away by the wind, and grass seed can fall wherever the wind goes.
Although Ye Fu and Jiang Rong's losses were not as heavy as the others, there was a thick layer of sand from the ground to the roof, and it took a long time to clean them.
“Coughs, uhuk..”
Although the head was tightly wrapped, wind and sand could still enter the nose, and as long as there were people, intermittent coughing could be heard.
Jiang Rong cleaned the pond in the courtyard, then stuffed the live fish into the bucket into it.
"We need to build a shed on the pool. Now there's a sandstorm every day, so it's useless not to build a warehouse." "
Okay, do you want to build a vegetable field?"
Ye Fu shook his head, "Not yet, I will mow the grass. There was a lot of grass, otherwise the sheep and rabbits would die of starvation. "
Ye Fu picked up the scythe and carried the bamboo basket and left.
Ye Fu kicked the sand clean with his feet, and cut a bamboo basket full at the fastest speed.On the way home, he also met other people who came out to mow the grass on the sandy soil.
Ye Fu fed goat and rabbit grass, and went around the perimeter of the safety zone Many animals were hung on barbed wire, all of which were blown by sandstorms.
Within a radius of a few kilometers, the grasses that looked covered with sand, Ye Fu was glad that he sowed many tree seeds, which held a lot of sand and strong winds.
On the way home, Ye Fu dragged some branches that were broken by the wind.
As soon as he returned to the wooden house, Ye Fu saw Wan Tao and Liu Zhang standing in the courtyard, Jiang Rong was beside him, the three of them did not know what to say.
"You Fu, you're finally back."
"What's wrong?"
“I want you to take hemostatic powder, and come to see how much you have lost.” Wan Tao did not beat around the bush, and directly stated the purpose of coming here.
"Except the vegetable fields, there is no harm. I'll go and get you some hemostatic powder. "
Ye Fu entered the house, and Wan Tao's voice sounded again outside, "Jiang Rong, many people want to build a wooden house, can you go and guide them?" How many days?"
Jiang Rong stopped, then agreed, "OK."
He had read several books on architecture, and building a wooden house would not bother him.
"You're very kind to agree. This building is uninhabitable. Lately it's been shaking very badly. All residents in the building have to move. I looked around and found that your wooden cabin was relatively strong and could still resist like that. Big sandstorms, other houses with bamboo floors and wooden houses were all blown away by the storm."
Ye Fu came out with a can of hemostatic powder, and Wan Tao sighed when he saw it, "This time Qi Yuan and the others The loss is not a little, many chickens and ducks are blown off the wind, and there are many chickens and ducks, and Wenwen lost one of her sheep, and she was still crying when I came, but she was very sad.”
