The rain did not seem to have any intention of stopping.
The cowboys who were sitting in the manor and watching the rain could not wait any longer. They went out to herd the cows in the rain to bring them to a safe place.
At that moment, herding the cows had become a slightly dangerous job. The helicopters that were used to herd the cows could not take off due to the heavy rain. The cowboys had to ride horses to herd the cows. There were many low-lying areas in the ranch. When the manor started to be flooded, the water in the low-lying areas was enough to drown a cow. Of course, it was more likely that people would drown.
"We'll lose a lot of calves this year." The butler looked out of the window with a worried expression.
"If the cows survive, they'll protect their own calves." Tian Guozheng's expression was solemn. He straightened his back in his wheelchair and looked rather carefree.
The butler nodded slightly. "Be it wind or rain, I hope the cowboys will have a smooth journey. Mister Guozheng, let's go to town. "
Tian Guozheng nodded and did not say anything. Lu Junjie, who had been guarding by the side, could not take it anymore. He quickly said, "Now? The rain is so heavy. Even the car can't leave. "
"Mister Lu, if we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave when the manor is completely flooded." The butler's expression was calm. It was as if he was watching a silly child playing around.
Lu Junjie did not look at the butler. He looked at Tian Guozheng and said, "Uncle Tian, have you considered the possibility of heavy rain in this manor? It's too exaggerated to think that it will be flooded."
Tian Guozheng smiled. "Of course I've considered it. A gentleman doesn't want to live under a collapsing wall. "
"Then, we should …"
"We can't live under a collapsing wall now," Tian Guozheng said calmly. "It's raining all over the state. From the looks of it, it won't stop for two to three days. Even if we want to stay in the manor, we'll have to stay on the second floor and above. Instead of that, it's better to go to town early and evacuate. "
Lu Junjie was speechless. If one floor of the manor was going to be flooded, it would be considered a flood according to domestic standards. If he still stayed, he would be too stupid. At that time, not only would there be no water and electricity, but the internet would also probably be shut down. Staying in a place without internet, wouldn't that be the same as having water in his brain?
"I'll prepare the car." The butler did not say anything else. He quickly got up and went to give orders.
Tian Guozheng smiled and said, "Everyone, go pack your things. Since we've decided, we'll leave in thirty minutes."
At this time, Tian Guozheng displayed an unusual swiftness and decisiveness.
Lu Junjie was still a little hesitant. He whispered, "Since we've decided, shouldn't we retreat directly? "Since we have to go to town.
"If we retreat by land, we will have to pass through this town." Tian Guozheng continued to smile. "You can't underestimate the people. Although Cuba Town is small, it has a history of more than one hundred years. Over the years, when other places were flooded, Cuba Town was at most a little inconvenient, but we didn't encounter too much danger …"
Tian Guozheng wanted to educate Lu Junjie. The young man was too long-winded and it affected his mood.
However, Lu Junjie didn't hear the meaning behind her words. Instead, he asked, "You didn't encounter too much danger, but there was still danger?"
Lu Junjie finally understood this time, and his expression couldn't help but change.
Tian Guozheng nodded in satisfaction. He then said to Ling Ran and Tian Qi in a pleasant manner, "Hurry up and pack up your things. If it's not easy to carry, just put a tag on it and let the people who stay behind carry it to the top floor."
"There are still people staying behind? Isn't it too dangerous? "Tian Qi was a little worried.
"There are still many valuable things in the house. We have to send someone to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, I'm afraid someone might take the risk." Tian Guozheng said meaningfully and said, "After the cowboys drive the cattle to the high ground, those who are close to the house will come back. At that time, if the rain hasn't stopped, they will take the assault boat and go to town."
"I'm afraid your knees are not suitable for long-term riding," Ling Ran reminded him at this time.
Tian Guozheng smiled. "I have a few Unimogs, and one of them is an RV. It should be fine."
Half an hour later, they saw Tian Guozheng's Unimok … convoy.
From the outside, the Unimok with the Mercedes-Benz logo looked more like a domineering truck, but it was a medium-sized model. It was quite surprising that it was driven in a long row.
Lu Junjie shouted when he saw it, "Uncle Tian, you bought so many Unimogs? One of them costs three to four million, right? You've set a small goal. "
"The ranch needs them." Tian Guozheng pointed at the car in front of him and said, "Get in the car first. We'll go in three cars. We can take care of each other and not affect each other."
The rain outside was getting heavier, and Lu Junjie suddenly became a little worried. He nodded and turned around to look at Tian Qi. He said, "Miss Tian, let's go first. Ladies first."
"You go first." Tian Guozheng waved his hand and said, "There are many cars behind us."
Lu Junjie had no choice but to climb into the front of the Unimok in front. The back of the car seemed to be filled with food and water. Lu Junjie felt that it should be safer to follow such a car.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. Please fasten your seatbelt. We're leaving." The driver waited for Lu Junjie to close the door before he chuckled and locked the door.
Lu Junjie felt that the laughter was a little familiar. He turned around and saw the driver under the cowboy hat. It was the burly servant who wiped his body just now.
Lu Junjie could not help but look at the man's big and rough hands. "Why are you here?"
"It's such a coincidence." The driver smiled and showed his golden teeth. "The butler also said that I'm lucky. I'm the kind of person who will fall out of a traffic accident when I get on a death row van. Alright, sit tight. I promise I'll send you safely to your destination. "
The driver stepped on the accelerator as he spoke, and the car drove toward the muddy ground.
"Hey, why aren't we taking the road? Aren't we going to town? "Lu Junjie almost jumped up from the jolt.
"Fasten your seatbelt." The driver reminded him again and said, "The motorcade will have to split up. It's raining heavily, and we don't know what the situation on the road is like. We'll take the alternate road. This road is the one the ranch drove, and it's closer to town. It used to be used to transport cattle and sheep, so it's more convenient."
The muddy road that had been soaked in mud had already turned into a slurry road. Not far away, there was a large puddle of water that was dozens of centimeters deep. Lu Junjie instantly felt uncomfortable from the jolting. When he turned back, he saw a Unimoc RV start up slowly. Under the guidance of a few other Unimoc, it moved forward along the asphalt road.
Lu Junjie turned around in despair. "Ling Ran and the others left in the RV? There are two roads in total? "
"There are three roads in total. One of them is an old road that has fallen into disrepair, but most of it is asphalt. Tumor Two and Tumor Four took that road in their trucks. "
"I'm not even as good as a cow?"
The driver looked at Lu Junjie strangely. "They're cows with names!"
