There are almost no typhoons in the northern region, and if there are, it will definitely be a catastrophic disaster.

The falling rain outside hit the ground with a crackling sound.

Jiang Hexi stood under the eaves, looking at the heavy rain, his brows furrowed with worry that could kill a mosquito.

They had already lost sixty beehives and could not afford to lose another thousand acres of wheat fields.

"You still can't bear to leave the beehives in the woods?"

Yan Jie handed her a cup of hot ginger tea. "This is brewed by Zhou Gong. Drink it and don't catch a cold."

Jiang Hexi took the cup of ginger tea to warm his hands and said softly:

"Three hundred acres of rapeseed flowers only produce so little honey. A heavy rain caused us to lose one-third of it. How can I be optimistic about it?"

“No loss.”

Yan Jie's eyes gradually brightened as he looked at her, and he continued, "We took all the honey from those sixty beehives this morning."

"Really?"

"real."

Jiang Hexi swept away his previous depression, and his face was rejuvenated. "I knew that God would not be so blind as to let our efforts go to waste. Will the heavy rain stop tomorrow?"

She looked at the rain falling in the yard and said to herself, "It will definitely stop."

Yan Jie told a lie to appease her, and at the same time, his desperate mood rebounded.

When Shen Yingyu saw him coming in with an empty cup, he asked him:

"You lied to Sister Xi, saying that all the honey in the beehive had been taken. Later, Director Chen published the account and found that there was more than 50,000 yuan missing. How are you going to explain this to her?"

“Just say that the money was spent on the bluestone road along the Sanxi Lake.”

Yan Jie looked at him and said, "Remember to tell her when the time comes."

"What about the wheat in the field?"

Shen Yingyu said pessimistically, "If the rain continues, the worst result will be that everything will be soaked."

The pair of anxious and tearful eyes in the woods appeared in front of Yan Jie's eyes again.

He can lose his beehives and his wheat fields, but Jiang Hexi cannot. She is extremely persistent and serious about farming.

"Today in the woods, I felt hopeless as I watched the water rise much faster than we could move the hives."

Shen Yingyu felt deeply touched by this. He was also dominated by a feeling of powerlessness and could do nothing.

Yan Jie glanced at the heavy rain still falling outside and said calmly:

"Like now, in the face of this heavy rain, I can only leave it to fate."

But he didn't want to see those wet and tearful eyes again:

"But I'm not willing to accept my fate. I have to do something. What if these thousand acres of wheat can be saved?"

The next morning, the village chief came to the wooden building in the rain and told them the bad news:

"The free-range chicken farm you contracted has been flooded."

"How is that possible? Isn't that a mountain?"

Chu Yang chased after the village chief and asked, "How did the mountain get flooded? Where did it flood to? How deep is the water?"

"It's flooded halfway up the mountain."

The village chief had never seen such heavy rain. It kept falling all night and even submerged the mountain top:

"The hilltop you contracted is low-lying, like a small mound in a depression. The water from the surrounding mountains all flows into it. How can it not be flooded?"

Jiang Hexi couldn't bear the blow and fell directly onto the sofa. "It's over. How are my 1,000 free-range chickens going to survive?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but complain: "Village Chief, look at the good hill you contracted to us. It has ruined all our chickens!"

The village chief is not responsible for this:

"It's not just your free-range chicken farm that was flooded, other chicken farms were flooded as well. What's more, your chickens are not dead, they are all hiding on the top of the mountain to avoid the rain. Why are you two crying in front of me?"

Jiang Hexi came back to life and asked, "Village Chief, how can we get the chickens out?"

"If we use a boat to transport it, can we rush over there on a tricycle to pull the chicken coops?"

The village chief said unhappily, "There is an empty warehouse next to the cultural square. I can lend it to you to raise chickens temporarily. After the water recedes, you must clean up the place for me. There must not be any odor."

Chu Yang nodded repeatedly and said, "I will definitely clean it up and make sure you are satisfied."

The rain outside was still falling heavily.

Jiang Hexi put on her rain boots and a raincoat. This time, Yan Jie didn't need to do anything, she tied the hat tightly on her head, and did not forget to bring a scoop net with her when she went out.

Chu Yang asked in confusion: "Sister, why do you bring a landing net?"

"Last time, free-range chickens flew over my head in a swarm. I still have a psychological trauma and I am afraid of being stung by chickens."

Jiang Hexi demonstrated with a scoop net, "It's different with a scoop net. I can just scoop and pour the chickens without jumping over to catch them. I can catch them all and put them all in the chicken coop."

Chu Yang thought this was a good method.

When he turned back to get the net, he found that the only two scoop nets left in the warehouse were in the hands of Chai Fei and Yu Xiangwan.

Finally, he had to find a thick bamboo pole, wrap a snakeskin bag with iron wire, and make a makeshift net to catch chickens in the mountains.

The six people took a small boat to the free-range chicken farm and climbed up the hill covered in mud.

The free-range chickens all huddled together and took shelter in a large shed on the top of the mountain from the rain.

Jiang Hexi opened the chicken coop and walked towards the chickens quietly. When she got closer, she stretched out the scoop net, took aim at a chicken and covered it with the net.

It was not as easy as expected.

The chickens in the greenhouse were clucking together, and a few ferocious free-range chickens flapped their wings and leaped into the air, flying towards her suddenly.

Jiang Hexi was so scared that she dropped the scoop net and backed away repeatedly, holding her head. When she realized that she was not bitten by the free-range chickens, she timidly stood up from the rain.

It could be as embarrassing as it could be.

Chu Yang, Chai Fei and Yu Xiangwan, who were standing in a row nearby, dropped their scoop nets when they saw her like this. They were at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to catch the chicken.

With Jiang Hexi's previous experience as a lesson, catching the chicken with a net would definitely not work, and catching it alive was absolutely impossible.

Just when the four people were at a loss, Yan Jie carried a square chicken coop and walked to the front of the shed.

He took out a handful of corn kernels from the plastic bag and scattered them evenly on the floor of the chicken coop. Then he pulled the long string at one end of the coop lid and silently stepped back and stood there.

As soon as he left, the free-range chickens in the greenhouse swarmed into the chicken coop.

He loosened his grip again, and the lid of the chicken coop fell down, and he got the chickens in the coop easily.

When Jiang Hexi saw this, he felt that his IQ was being trampled under his feet.

Yan Jie glanced at her and urged her, "What are you doing standing there?"

Jiang Hexi said frankly: "This is a huge blow, I need to take it easy."

Yan Jie: "You know, I have a mysophobia."

Jiang Hexi looked at him in confusion.

Yan Jie said righteously: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to catch chickens. I will catch them for you. You just need to carry this cage of chickens to the middle of the mountain."
