Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 100: Farm in the Rain
It was almost evening when Chen Yuan arrived in Taibai County. Seeing a drizzle falling from the sky, he hurried to the parking lot and started his second-hand car, trying to return to Xuanhe Village before the rain got heavier.

As we left Taibai County, the sky became increasingly darker, dark clouds gathered, a drizzle fell, and the windshield wipers began to operate with a "sizzling" sound.

Fortunately, as an experienced driver, Chen Yuan is not unfamiliar with this situation. He has even encountered extremely bad conditions in the mountainous area where the fog stretched for dozens of kilometers and the visibility was less than five meters front and back. As long as he is careful, no accidents will occur.

But for most drivers, it is best not to go out when encountering such a situation. Safety comes first.

Outside the window, there was a howling sound of wind like ghosts and wolves, and the car windows rustled along with it. The sky was already shrouded in darkness, and only the car lights emitted light on the winding mountain road, illuminating the way ahead.

As the altitude increased, the temperature began to drop. Chen Yuan drove to a safe location and stopped, summoning Sparks and Coke.

When driving in such an environment, Chen Yuan needed Sparks to sit in the passenger seat to dissipate heat and drive away the chill brought by the increasing altitude and rain.

You need some lively cola to howl a few times to keep your spirit awake at all times.

After fastening the seat belts for the two little ones, Chen Yuan slowly started the car.

"Chirp~"

Huohua moved her body, trying to get closer to Chen Yuan so that the heat from her body could warm him better.

"Ow~"

Coke turned his head, staring closely at the dim scenery passing by outside the window, listening to the whistling wind, his expression becoming more and more excited.

It wanted to jump out of the car window, run in the whistling wind, and gallop in the boundless wilderness.

But when Kele looked at Chen Yuan who was concentrating on driving, the feeling in his heart suddenly disappeared.

It’s better to go home early.

I don't know what the ducks are doing?
Drops of rain fall on the water, splashing water.

Thump~
Runrun Duck floated to the surface and raised its head to look at the dark sky. Raindrops fell on its head drop by drop. Duckling touched its wet fur and showed a happy expression: "Quack quack quack~"

It's raining! It's raining!

Yaya likes rain the most.

Runrun Duck jumped onto the shore, letting the drizzle fall on its body, and walked slowly towards the yard.

Halfway through the walk, I suddenly saw Tietouwa sticking half of his body out of the nest, staring at the falling rain with an expressionless face.

"quack?"

RunRun Duck walked up to Tietou Wa and looked up at the sky, imitating his movements, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything strange.

"Crack."

The iron-headed boy lowered his head and pointed at the nest with his claws.

RunRun Duck stretched its neck and looked down, only to find that the falling raindrops continued to gather and form a small stream of water that rushed into the nest where Tietouwa was, and the soil was already wet.

As the rain got heavier, the small stream of water was expanding rapidly. RunRun Duck had already imagined that the nest would soon be soaked by rain or washed away.

Run Run Duck looked at Tie Tou Wa with sympathy, whose expression was becoming increasingly serious. She stood on her webbed feet and patted the latter's shoulder with her wings: "Quack."

It’s okay, duck. We can rebuild the nest if it’s gone. Let’s go play in the water together now.

"Crack."

Tietou Wa shook his head without hesitation and rejected Runrun Duck's invitation.

"quack."

RunRun Duck had no choice but to leave here. Halfway through the walk, he suddenly looked back and could vaguely see Tietouwa through the rain curtain. He was like a silent statue, staying silently in his nest under the scouring of rain.

Suddenly, Tietouwa started moving. It went into the nest and took out the vegetables it had stored one after another.

"quack!"

RunRun Duck somehow returned to Tietou Wa, patted his chest and said that he could help.

After a long time,

The two little guys moved all the vegetables into the warehouse, and the panting RunRun Duck finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Crack."

Tietouwa nodded towards Runrun Duck to express his most sincere gratitude.

"Giggle."

Amid the sound of the pattering rain, the wind howled more and more, and Runrun Duck suddenly heard a faint anxious cry: "Cluck, cluck, cluck~"

Tietouwa listened attentively, and suddenly his expression changed slightly: "Ka."

It's the cry of the chicken.

RunRun Duck looked outside at the heavy rain and strong wind. A chill tried to sneak into its body, but was blocked by the warm fur. The duck still couldn't help but shrink its neck and subconsciously retreated.

A figure stepped forward from the left, with determination showing on Tietouwa's resolute face, and ran towards the direction where the shouting came from.

"quack."

RunRunDuck was slightly stunned.

Runrun Duck is not afraid of rain, as its feathers are waterproof and the down on its body can also keep out the cold. But Runrun Duck likes light rain, not heavy rain mixed with strong winds that will mess up its hair and blow it all over the place.

Seeing Tietouwa’s figure disappearing in the rain, Runrun Duck gritted his teeth and rushed out of the warehouse.

The wind was howling and the rain was pouring. RunRun Duck tried his best to keep steady, but his body still swayed from side to side.

"quack."

Run Run Duck glared at the cloudy sky fiercely, and finally ran under the tree house and shouted: "Quack!"

Come out and help!
Seeing that there was no movement in the tree house, RunRun Duck carefully controlled his strength and sent out a water arrow to hit the wooden door.

boom!
The door of the wooden house was opened from the inside. The sleepy Diandian Flying Cat rubbed his eyes and looked at Runrun Duck in a daze: "Diandian?"

"quack!"

Runrun Duck flapped its wings and called out rapidly.

There's no time to explain. Come on, follow me!
Pulling the confused Diandian Flying Cat along, the two little guys quickly came to the chicken coop, only to find that the oilcloth that was originally hung on the chicken coop had been blown off by the strong wind.

The rain fell wantonly in the chicken coop. The rooster huddled in a corner, spread its wings, and protected the shivering little chicks.

At this moment, Tietouwa and Chen Weiyi hurried over.

Chen Weiyi, who was wearing a raincoat, was surprised when he saw the scene and said, "If this guy hadn't come to find me, I wouldn't have known that this place had collapsed."

The heavy rain came suddenly, and he was still in the fields checking the condition of the crops.

Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go inside to avoid the rain."

"Yeah~"

Doudou Chicken nodded slightly, slowly stood up, and let the little guys follow him closely.

RunRun Duck also spread its wings in an imitative manner, allowing the brave little chicks to hide behind it and protecting them from wind and rain.

"Diandian~"

The electric flying cat also spread its yellow wings, and the wings like a cloak began to flash with electricity. Chen Weiyi's eyelids jumped, and he immediately stopped it: "Don't, rainwater conducts electricity!"

After successfully dissuading Dian Dian from flying cats, Chen Weiyi looked at the most practical and capable farm employee mentioned by Chen Yuan and said, "You should also come inside to avoid the rain."

"Crack."

Tietouwa shook his head slowly and walked towards the farm gate with firm steps.

Today's farms are full of flaws.

The worse the situation, the more you need to take care of the farm yourself.

The dazzling lights pierced through the rain. Chen Yuan slowly drove the second-hand car into the farm gate, and the strong wind was still hitting the car windows.

This scene is rare in the Qinling Mountains in summer. It is a bit like the seven-day long rainstorm on the eve of the revival of spiritual energy.

Chen Yuan got out of the car and opened the door in the heavy rain. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a small figure curled up in the doghouse.

"Iron Head Baby, why are you here?"

This makeshift doghouse was almost collapsed by the ravages of the storm, but Tietouwa had turned into the most loyal guard, standing still with his semicircular orange eyes fixed on the gate.

Seeing the farmer getting closer, Tietouwa finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed: "Ka."

Report to the farmer that no bad guys sneaked in during the rainstorm.

Chen Yuan looked up and down at Tietouwa, who was soaked by the rain, and his lips moved. After a long while, he said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Tietouwa."

"Go inside first. You don't need to guard here."

In this kind of weather, with this kind of heavy rain, no pet would choose to sneak into the farm.

Chen Yuan parked the car in the yard, rushed into the rain with an umbrella, and at the same time called on the three little guys behind him to hurry up and follow.

"Chirp~"

Sparks flapped its orange-yellow wings and flew out of the co-pilot seat. Layers of flames emerged from its body. When those huge raindrops approached its body, they were evaporated in an instant by the extremely high temperature, producing a layer of mist.

As a fire-type pet, Sparks certainly doesn't like rain, but as an elite second-level pet, it won't be easily affected by rain.

"Crack."

Tietouwa followed the big sister and walked forward, letting the rain splash on its dark gray body, with a firm gaze and steady steps.

"Ow~"

Compared to the two little guys, Coke seemed particularly excited. It started running in the heavy rain. The sudden breeze around its body mixed with the whistling wind, and it kept running around the yard, getting faster and faster.

Snapped.

Coke accidentally stepped into a small puddle next to Chen Yuan, and the splashing rain water immediately soaked the latter's shoes and socks.

Coke, who was running quickly with his tongue sticking out, suddenly turned his head and saw Chen Yuan looking at him expressionlessly. Coke's expression quickly became stiff and he stopped where he was.

Oh no, I made my owner angry again.

The next moment, Coke skillfully lowered his upper body, lowered his head, and gave an aggrieved look.

Chen Yuan was already used to Coke's reaction, and he said calmly, "I'll deduct a bottle of Coke tomorrow."

"Ow!"

Cola was horrified and immediately covered his ears with his paws.

I won't listen, I won't listen!
Chen Yuan continued: "There is no room for bargaining on this matter."

After a short pause, his tone gradually softened: "Okay, continue playing, but be careful not to get blown away by the strong wind. If you feel cold, come inside."

"Ow~"

Seeing that his master no longer scolded him, the wet Coke was about to pounce on him, but was ruthlessly dodged by Chen Yuan.

Coke was not discouraged. Instead, he continued to run heartlessly in the storm, and his figure gradually blended into the wind.

"quack."

RunRunDuck leaned against the door of the lobby, staring at the madly running Coke with her light blue eyes. Suddenly she shook her head, turned back to Chen Weiyi's exclusive recliner, and lay down skillfully.

The dim light illuminated Runrun Duck lying on the chair. It closed its eyes and leaned its body to make the recliner move, and a creaking sound rang beside its ears.

Chen Yuan walked into the lobby and closed the door casually, keeping the heavy rain out. Only the sound of the rain never stopped.

The lobby was lit with a dim yellow light. Doudou Chicken was lying in the corner, surrounded by a group of shivering little chicks in front and behind him.

They were huddled together, their light yellow fur showing signs of being wet by the rain. Chen Weiyi was carefully wiping the water stains off their bodies with a towel.

"Diandian~"

Diandian Feimao was lying on a wooden chair on the other side, his eyes fixed on the TV on the opposite wall. The screen was broadcasting the Baokun City night news:
"It is expected that this heavy rain will continue all night, accompanied by strong winds. All citizens are requested to close their doors and windows and not go out unless necessary."

Looking out the window through the orange light, although the scene was blocked by the rain, the dark sky could still be vaguely seen.

Seeing Chen Yuan coming into the house, Chen Weiyi started to scold him: "Why did you drive back in such heavy rain?"

"What if we encounter a mudslide on the road?"

He looked Chen Yuan up and down, and his tone softened again: "I'm glad you're okay. I'm glad you're back."

The first intermediate beastmaster in Baokun City admitted his mistake in front of the old man without any intention of arguing.

"Have you had dinner?" Chen Weiyi asked again.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Not yet, I'm going to cook some instant noodles."

He didn't expect that the trip to Baokun City would be so smooth, so he didn't inform the old man when he came back.

When we first arrived in Taibai County, there was only a drizzle, but the deeper we went into the mountains, the heavier the rain became.

But seeing that Xuanhe Village was getting closer, he couldn't possibly turn the car around halfway and go back to the county to take shelter from the rain.

Fortunately, he finally returned to the farm before the real rainstorm came.

After all this running around, Chen Yuan, who hadn't eaten yet, was already starving.

After boiling a bucket of instant noodles with hot water, Chen Yuan immediately started to devour it.

Not long after,
Chen Yuan ran to the kitchen and cooked another pack, and only then did he feel clearly full.

Instant noodles are a weird thing, one packet isn't enough, but two packets are too filling.

Just after he finished eating, he heard a cry coming from outside the lobby door: "Ahhhh."

Chen Yuan got up and opened the door, then looked down and saw that it was indeed Coke.

"Ow."

Coke grinned, then shook his head and body wildly to shake off all the water droplets remaining on his hair.

After this shake, Coke suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, but when he looked up, he found that the water droplets he had just shaken off had fallen on Chen Yuan's clothes and pants.

Coke's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The next moment, Coke dodged Chen Yuan's outstretched right hand with nimble movement, and then ran into the rain without looking back.

Chen Yuan folded his hands in front of his chest and said calmly: "Your Coke this week"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Coke running back to him panting, and lowered his head, looking as if he was admitting his mistake.

Chen Yuan said: "Spin off the water yourself, and then find a spark to dry it."

Coke turned his head and saw that the big sister was controlling a weak flame to dry the water stains on the chicks and dispel the cold.

This time, Coke avoided Chen Yuan from afar, shook off the water droplets, and then ran happily to line up behind the chicks, waiting for the sparks to dry his wet hair.

As the night deepens,
Sleepiness then swept over me.

The old man has returned to the bedroom to sleep. Doudou Chicken is protecting the chicks and falling asleep. Runrun Duck and Coke are lying together and snoring. Diandian Flying Cat is curled up on the carpet. Tietou Wa's upper body is leaning against the wall. Sparks is leaning closely against Chen Yuan, emitting waves of warmth.

Chen Yuan reached out to turn off the orange light, and endless darkness spread across the lobby.

The heavy rain continues, playing a lullaby in the middle of the night.
