I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 73 Fear of Envy
Fortunately, Chen Jingle was already used to this kind of situation.

Come on, come on.

For 49 years, Nam Dong province has led the nation with an average of 2.72 typhoons per year.

As long as it's not a super typhoon of level 14 or above, there shouldn't be any major problems.

For typhoons below level 14, as long as you take precautions, stay at home, and wait for the typhoon to pass, you'll be fine.

It's not like 2 or 30 years ago when we still lived in tile-roofed houses.

He has made full preparations for the typhoon, including closing doors and windows and blocking the gaps in the windows with strips of cloth.

Everyone said a typhoon was coming soon, but on the 13th, instead of feeling the coolness of the typhoon or the refreshing rain, it was unbearably hot all day long.

Of course, these are all normal signs before a typhoon arrives.

Ordinary people might complain, but for Chen Jingle, it's best if it doesn't rain. He's hoping to collect some moon dew tonight for emergencies.

From the night of the 13th to the morning of the 14th, the moon hung high in the sky. He spent the entire night collecting moon dew and finally managed to collect three drops before dawn.

This is already a very good result.

Today is the 19th of the lunar calendar. I don't know if I'll be able to see the moon tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the day after that. The phases of the moon are coming to an end, so I have to take a chance.

Fortunately, he is in good physical condition now, so even if he doesn't sleep for several days and nights, he won't have any problems.

"This month is really a bit of a financial strain," Chen Jingle couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Only then did I realize how important the night of the full moon is.

Normally, on the 15th and 16th of the month, it's easy to collect more than four drops each day. If you persist until dawn when they disappear, then you might even get five drops.

At other times, like today, three drops are truly a blessing.

At the beginning and end of the month, getting two drops is considered good; more often than not, it's just one drop.

not enough!

Still not enough!

This might sound a bit greedy, but who wouldn't want to have as many good things as possible in their warehouse?

Chen Jingle, who is usually calm and collected, was unusually anxious at this moment.

……

By the afternoon of the 14th, the wind finally picked up.

The sky and earth changed color, and dark clouds pressed down on the city.

After confirming that everything that needed to be packed up was packed, Chen Jingle waved his hand and moved a group of small birds, including two brown-winged cuckoos, into the tool shed.

To avoid accidentally getting killed by a typhoon while outside.

These are the more intelligent ones who underwent mutations after drinking diluted moonlight dew.

Although we don't usually keep them as pets, once we establish a connection, we develop some affection for them.

Chen Jingle also prepared water and millet for them, while the red-feathered chickens ate strips of chicken breast.

After feeding them, we waited for the typhoon to arrive.

The house has a long-haired bird and two parrots on the first floor.

This was the first time any of the three had experienced such terrifying weather as a typhoon. When Longhair heard the continuous thunder outside, it was so frightened that it adopted an attack posture, while the two parrots hid in each other's wings.

"What's there to be afraid of? The wind can't blow in. You just stay put. If you're really scared, go back to your little nest."

Chen Jingle pointed to the cardboard box in the corner and said to Changmao.

He had previously thrown this cardboard box into the storage room, intending to sell it as junk, because he had left the long-haired dog in the yard overnight. Now he had dug it out again.

Upon hearing this, Long Hair thought, "Oh right, why don't I hide inside the box?"

It darted over in a flash, curled up into a ball and lay down, even covering its ears with its paws, pretending not to hear the howling wind and rumbling thunder outside.

For it, this little box is a safe house.

Chen Jingle took out his phone and glanced at the typhoon's real-time path map. The eye of the storm had already reached the neighboring county, and it was estimated that it would reach Jiangbei in another two or three hours.

At this moment, a message popped up on WeChat.

Li Shiming: "The typhoon is coming!"

Chen Jingle was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Yes. I estimate we'll be entering Jiangbei in about two hours."

Why did this girl suddenly message him at this time?

It's been a while since the two last met. I've been quite busy lately and don't really want to go out.

They didn't chat much normally, except occasionally when the other person was feeling cat-obsessed, they would ask him for some cat photos or pictures. Chen Jingle was also not the type of person to take the initiative.

Li Shiming: "Are you all ready?"

"What else do we need to prepare?" Chen Jingle asked, puzzled.

Li Shiming: "Food, and make sure your phone and power bank are fully charged."

Oh, no problem!
Chen Jingle chuckled: "Absolutely. What about you?"

If the wind is too strong, there may be power outages and internet outages.

For modern people, life without electricity and internet is almost like going back to the primitive society. Can they stand it?
Therefore, it is necessary to fully charge both the phone and the power bank in advance.

Power and internet are currently operating normally, but we don't know what will happen after tonight.

"Same."

Li Shiming added, "It's so windy outside."

"Yes, it's quite big."

Chen Jingle replied casually, scrolling through news about the typhoon and looking at the damage in the areas that had already passed through.

Li Shiming: "I'm a little scared."

Chen Jingle asked in surprise, "What's there to be afraid of? It's only a level 10 wind."

Logically speaking, as someone from Jiangbei, shouldn't we have gotten used to it?

Besides, you are Li Er, you weren't even afraid of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, is there anything in this world that you would be afraid of?
"Level 10 is already quite an exaggeration."

At this moment, Li Shiming was huddled under the blanket, looking out at the window that she had sealed with cross-shaped tape. The wind and rain were raging, and everything was gray and gloomy.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but it seems like the whole building is shaking.

This is the scariest thing!
She lives alone.

I bought a high-floor apartment because of the good view, and it was very comfortable for me to live alone. But in situations like this, it doesn't feel so good anymore.

I was terrified!
Moreover, I heard online that there is a risk of glass windows being blown apart during typhoons, and if someone on a high floor is blown out by the wind, it's all over.

She was so frightened that she ran to sleep in the hallway of the house.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like sending Chen Jingle a message to ask him how he was doing.

"He should be at home right now, right?"

Since I don't have to go to work, there's no reason for me to go out and wander around when a typhoon is coming.

That guy always gives off a warm and reassuring vibe, though he's a bit aloof. He probably has no shortage of female admirers, so a bit of aloofness and arrogance is normal.

At the same time, he secretly regretted it: "I should have gone back to my parents' place."

It's still more comfortable to live in a detached low-rise house.

Scared?
Chen Jingle really didn't know how to comfort her, so after thinking for a moment, he sent her a few newly taken photos of the kitten.

I felt it wasn't enough, so I posted a few more photos of the two parrots' daily life.

"You keep birds?!" Li Shiming was shocked and envious.

Chen Jingle: "Yeah, I just raised it casually."

"Can it talk? Parrots can talk, right?"

Yes, but not much.

"That's so nice." Li Shiming's sourness almost overflowed from the screen.

This guy seems to be living a very happy life.

I can't imagine how happy I would be right now if I were holding a kitten in my arms and a little bird perched on my shoulder.

hateful!

After a brief chat, Chen Jingle went to take a shower, otherwise it would be troublesome if the power went out at night.

After he finished showering, the wind and rain outside the window grew stronger.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the typhoon will be passing through the area all night.

He simply dried his hair, covered himself with the blanket, and went to sleep, deciding to deal with it later when he woke up.

The typhoon will most likely pass by the time I wake up.

At most, there will be a little tail end, and it looks like there will be a few more rain showers.
