Rebirth of the Super Landlord

The so-called plans don't change as fast as they do. July 13th is the day after tomorrow when The Matrix will be released. When Su Zhen's family was preparing to pack up and set off, something happened that interrupted all travel plans.

At noon that day, Su Zhen was lying on a deck chair in the yard basking in the sun. The summer sunshine in northern Illinois is not strong, and there are also parasols, so there is no need to worry about getting sunburnt. He took the sunglasses brought by the servant from the table at hand.

I took a sip of the iced sour plum soup and felt so refreshed.

Just when Su Zhen was enjoying himself, he didn't notice that the sky was gradually changing. Not long after, Su Zhen was awakened by the barking sounds of four people. Just when Su Zhen was wondering what was going on, he heard a rush.

The sound of horse hooves.

Su Zhen stood up and took a look, and saw old John riding his horse in a hurry. "Hey, John, what's the matter? It's so urgent." He opened the door to the yard.

"BOSS, something happened." Old John, who had just dismounted and trotted over without tethering his horse, said, "I just received a warning from the meteorological department. Thunderstorms will occur in our area soon, and there may even be a tornado."

Su Zhen was shocked when he heard this. At this time, he also noticed the change in the sky. "What should I do?" He had never experienced anything like this in his life, and he was also a little panicked.

"Thunderstorms are okay, except that they are afraid of triggering tornadoes, but these things come and go quickly. It's best to pack them up and take shelter in the cellar first. The tornado will not affect the cellar." Old John said, "The cowboys are taking care of it."

The cows are rushing to the pen, but time is too tight and I don’t know how much they will lose by then.”

"We can't control the damage. People are important. You should quickly inform all the cowboys to take evacuation measures and use walkie-talkies. It's probably too late for you to go back now. Just stay here and take shelter." Su Zhen quickly ordered to go deep.

He took a deep look at the sky with lightning and thunder in the distance and the tornado that was slowly taking shape, and then walked into the house.

"Okay BOSS" Old John said through the intercom to all the cowboys, and then followed Su Zhen into the house.

As soon as Su Zhen entered the house, he saw Liu Ru coming out of the room. After briefly explaining the situation to Liu Ru, he quickly asked Liu Ru and the servant to hide in the cellar.

"But what should I do if the poems and paintings are still in the town?" Liu Ru asked anxiously.

"It's too late to do anything now, the thunderstorm is coming soon," Su Zhen said helplessly, "I'll call her later and hope she's okay."

Soon Su Zhen and Old John hid in the cellar with Liu Ru, the two maids, and the four little coyotes.

There was a faint feeling of uneasiness in the dark cellar. Liu Ru kept dialing Liu Shihua's phone number, but perhaps due to the magnetic field of the thunderstorm, the signal kept getting busy.

Soon the thunderstorm came over Su Zhen and others, and the continuous thunder was a good proof.

"John, do thunderstorms often occur in Illinois?" Su Zhen asked amid the roar of thunder. He found that he still knew less about the situation in Illinois.

Hearing this, Liu Ru also looked at Old John closely. If Old John answered yes, he would probably make arrangements to move after this time.

"No, this is the first thunderstorm in northern Illinois since I can remember. Generally, only southern Illinois will have one or two thunderstorms every few years. It has never happened in the north before, and this is the first time at Harvard." Old John returned

At the same time, he comforted Su Zhen, "Boss, you can rest assured that everything on the ranch is insured, and all losses will be paid for by the insurance company."

"I'm not worried about the loss, but if this situation happens frequently in Illinois, I have to consider whether to move to another place to live," Su Zhen replied.

"You can rest assured about this BOSS. Northern Illinois has always been prone to blizzards in winter. Thunderstorms generally occur in the Midwest and South of the United States. Haval is already in the north and will basically not be affected by hurricanes and thunderstorms. This

The scale of the thunderstorm is not large, and the main threat is tornadoes," Old John explained.

Su Zhen nodded and said nothing.

Fortunately, the thunderstorm came and was overthrown quickly. Thirty minutes later, Su Zhen saw the sun shining through the cracks in the cellar and knew that the thunderstorm had passed.

Liu Ru finally called Liu Shihua's phone number. Fortunately, Liu Shihua was safe in the town.

Su Zhen opened the cellar door and walked out first. He looked at the situation. Except for a few traces of wind blowing on the grass, it seemed that the pasture had not been greatly affected.

The horse left outside by Old John saw its owner and ran over from a distance.

The swan family in the yard cuddled together and squawked a few times when they saw Su Zhen and others coming out of the basement.

Old John looked around Su Zhen's house and found that there was no damage. He got on his horse and said, "BOSS, I'm going to check out the situation on the ranch."

Su Zhen was comforting his mother at this time. Hearing this, he said, "I'll go with you." He said something to Liu Ru, and then drove the all-terrain vehicle in the yard and went out with Old John, because the house and stables

It's a bit far away, so Su Zhen usually travels between the stables on an all-terrain vehicle.

Su Zhen and Old John arrived at the stables first. The stables were safe and sound, but maybe because the horses were frightened, Su Zhen and Old John were a little uneasy when they entered.

When Su Zhen led Black Elf out of the stable, Jason and Little John happened to be riding towards the stable as well.

"Hey BOSS, are you okay there?" Jason asked first.

"Everything is safe," Su Zhen replied, "How is the situation in other parts of the ranch?"

"Most of them are fine, but the situation on the other side of the lake is not so good. There were three tornadoes at that time, and one passed over there. Hundreds of cattle were lost in that direction, but everyone is fine." Answered

It's Little John.

Su Zhen was relieved when he heard that, as long as everyone was fine, it would be fine. As for the loss of hundreds of cows, the insurance company could make up for it.

"The damage to our ranch is not big, but the situation in other places is not immediate. I listened to the radio before and said that the tornado came from Iowa in the west. It ravaged more than 100 kilometers in ten minutes. There were many places on the road.

"There are a lot of cities and towns that are in ruins," Johnson said. "But fortunately, Harvard is safe and sound, and the tornado just passed not far from it."

After that, Su Zhen, Old John and others came to the only place on the ranch that was hit by a tornado, which was the lakeside.

"This tornado passed by the lake and was traveling in the forest over there." Little John pointed to an obvious path carved out by the tornado on the mountain and introduced to Su Zhen, "It dissipated not long after entering the forest.

The other two passed through Old Jack's ranch to the west and entered Wisconsin before disappearing."

Looking at the mess in front of him, Su Zhen couldn't help but sigh at the power of nature. There were large trees that had fallen to the ground and were uprooted by the tornado everywhere around the lake. There were also many corpses of cows and other small animals.

A cattle dog sniffs here and there.

Martin and several other South American cowboys were loading dead cows onto the truck. These dead cows died abnormally and could not be sold on the market, but could only be destroyed.

Just when Su Zhen was lamenting the nature, several cattle dogs seemed to have discovered something. Su Zhen and Old John rode over and found several dogs roaring at the branches and leaves of an overturned tree.

This is an oak tree. It is very tall and has very lush branches and leaves, but it is obviously no match for the huge power of the tornado. But why does Su Zhen feel that this tree looks so familiar?

At this time, Old John slowly pushed aside the bushes with his riding crop, revealing a huge bird's nest hidden in the bushes. Su Zhen took a look and realized that this was the nest of the pair of bald eagles he had seen before.

The chirping of nestlings could also be heard in the bird's nest.

When Old John completely pushed aside the branches blocking the bird's nest, the entire bird's nest was finally revealed to everyone's eyes. There were two gray chicks nesting in the bird's nest.

The two chicks seemed very restless and kept chirping.

"Is this a baby bald eagle?" Su Zhen asked in surprise.

"It should be right." Old John looked at it carefully and replied.

"But where are their parents?" Su Zhen asked. There was no trace of the pair of adult sea eagles around before.

"It probably flew away during the tornado, and will come back to look for it then," Old John said, "but by then there will probably be only one left."

"Why?" Su Zhen was very surprised when he heard this.

"Chicklings get hungry very quickly. Once the parents fail to come back with food in time, the older one will treat the younger one as food." Old John said, pointing to a young bird that was obviously one size larger than the other.

"Generally, although bald eagles will lay two eggs, the hatching times of the two eggs will be very different. The one that hatches early will often eat its own brother, so only one will survive. This is also the case for bald eagles.

One of the reasons why the number of eagles has not been increasing.”

Su Zhen was horrified when he heard this. It was such a cruel competition for survival. "Can I raise them if I want to?" Su Zhen asked.

"Of course, the United States does not prohibit private breeding of large beasts. As long as they are not kept in downtown areas, no one will care about them at all," Old John said with a smile, "But this thing has a big appetite, and it costs a lot to raise it."

Su Zhen laughed when he heard this, "I'm not afraid of that. There are a lot of cows to be slaughtered in the pasture every day, and there are a lot of internal organs that need to be processed. Are you afraid that you won't be able to feed the two birds?"

Old John smiled and nodded. Indeed, keeping large pets may be a burden to ordinary people, but it is nothing to the rich.

Su Zhen stepped forward and drove away some cattle dogs that were very interested in the chicks. He took off his cowboy hat to use as a temporary nest for the two little ones, took the two chicks out of the grass and put them there.

Got in.

Leaving Old John and others to clean up the mess, Su Zhen happily went back with the two chicks, thinking happily that now the eagles and dogs were all ready.
