Chapter 128: Thunderstorm ( 1 )

Chapter 128: Thunderstorm ( 1 ) After cleaning the shed, Yao Zhi washed her hands and went to the kitchen to boil water. She was tired, so after taking a bath, she took out a pack of Xiao Long Bao from her space. She opened the packaging and started to eat.

The buns were still hot and as big as an adult’s fist. She only ate 3 pieces and was already full. She stored the rest of the Xiao Long Bao in her system storage and wrote down the method for making tofu and some recipes for it and tofu dregs.

When she was done, she kept them in her system storage and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Yao Zhi woke up before dawn. As usual, she opened the system and checked her auction first.

She already had an estimation of the total points she could earn, but when she saw the total amount, she couldn’t help but rub her eyes, thinking that she was still sleeping and dreaming.

It took her a while to read the detailed information about her goods. All of her fabrics were auctioned off and fetched a total of 6,482,000 points. Due to the result, the basic auction price of the silk increased again.

After she clicked the collect button, she had a total of 7,083,480 points. With these points, she was finally at ease.

Closing her system, Yao Zhi tidied up her room and her hair before she went to the kitchen to boil water. Unlike usual, the temperature was lower today, and the wind was stronger.

Raising her head, she saw dark, massive shelf clouds forming in the distant sky. She looked around and saw that the birds were flying low.

"Is the thunderstorm coming?" she muttered with a frown.

When this thought flashed in her mind, Yao Zhi decided to inform the village chief. But it was still too early, and most villagers were still sleeping.

While she prepared breakfast, she kept looking at the sky. Although the dark clouds were forming, the wind speed was still the same. There should still be several hours before the thunderstorm hits.

After breakfast was ready, Yao Zhi stored all the pots, jars, and vats into her system’s storage, including the sausages and supplies stored in the kitchen.

Then, she took out a bucket, filled it with water from her system river, and mixed five drops of spiritual spring water into the water.

She didn’t know how strong the wind would be later, so it was better to prepare. Although she was unsure if her crops would be able to survive the thunderstorm, it was better to try than do nothing.

Yao Zhi quickly watered the garden with the water and prayed that the crops’ roots were strong enough to withstand the thunderstorm later.

When she was done, it was already seven o’clock in the morning, and the dark clouds were moving toward their direction. Seeing this, she no longer hesitated and quickly went to the village chief’s house.

As soon as she arrived at the village chief’s house, she saw Yang Dalang’s wife feeding chickens. Seeing her coming, Chen-shi greeted her, "Sister-in-law, what brought you to my house so early today?"

Yao Zhi walked over and asked, "Sister-in-law, is the village chief at home?"

"My father went to the field today. Do you need anything?" Chen-shi asked.

"Sister-in-law, the thunderstorm is coming. We have to inform everyone."

As soon as she heard this, Chen-shi’s expression changed. She looked at the sky and finally noticed the dark clouds. She had experienced several thunderstorms before and understood the dangers.

She quickly put down the chicken feed and said, "Sister-in-law, I will go inform my father and the villagers. Please help inform the others."

Yao Zhi nodded. "Okay."

The two of them rushed out to inform the villagers. Unlike Chen-shi, who informed them door to door, Yao Zhi opened her system shop and bought a megaphone. The megaphone used a battery and cost her 3 points.

After she bought the megaphone, she found a hiding place before she took it out. Turning on the megaphone, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Everyone, a thunderstorm is coming!! A thunderstorm is coming!"

Because of her loud voice, the megaphone even left a long, ringing sound as her voice echoed in the area. She repeated her words two more times before she stored the megaphone in her system’s storage and went to another area.

The villagers were startled by her loud voice and came out to check the situation. The moment they saw the looming dark clouds, no one had the time to scold or curse at her anymore.

Everyone rushed toward their fields, carrying straw mats, wooden sticks, and hemp rope. They had to build a shelter for their crops, or they would be destroyed by the thunderstorm.

When Yao Zhi finished informing the villagers and returned to her home, the wind speed had increased.

Looking at the buildings in her house, she quickly went to the woodshed. She stored everything in her system’s storage. All of these firewood logs were her husband’s hard work. She couldn’t let them get wet and ruined.

Afterward, she went to the donkey shed and said, "Xiao Lu, it will be dangerous here. I will take you to a good place. So be obedient and don’t be afraid."

When she finished her words, she touched her donkey and brought it into her spatial husbandry. Since she was able to raise animals inside, her donkey should be able to stay there.

As she guessed, Xiao Lu disappeared from the shed and reappeared inside the grassland.

Just after she was done, Yao Zhi heard a knock coming from the front yard.

"Yao Girl, are you at home?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yao Zhi went to open the gate. Seeing Wang Shen and Yang Sanlang, she was taken aback. "Aunt Wang, Brother Sanlang, why are you here?"

"We came to help you cover your gardens. Those vegetables are very valuable. It would be a pity if they were destroyed by the thunderstorm," Wang Shen said.
