Mountain People

Chapter 92: suffocated, remind

The next day was not yet dawn, Dong Chenghu got up and packed up, looking at the weather outside, his brows wrinkled again, in the past there should be a comfortable morning breeze blowing in the mountains , there was still a hint of coolness in the wind, but it seemed that the wind had stopped today, and it was still stuffy, and the whole person was also upset.

Dong Chenghu didn't think about it anymore, and hurry up to go out.

On the way, as Uncle Qin said, even the sound of insects and birds was much quieter. What surprised Dong Chenghu was that he didn't even encounter a pheasant or a hare. , Could it be a collective migration?

The unwilling Dong Chenghu also looked for it by the way, and finally gave up, there really is nothing, not even a chicken feather!

Thinking like this, Dong Chenghu hurriedly accelerated his pace towards Caozi Village.

When Dong Chenghu arrived, he saw Gu Mingde and Gu Erniu repairing hoes in the yard, Zhao was washing things, and the family of three talked and laughed. It was so warm.

The arrival of Dong Chenghu broke the tranquility, but the Gu family was very happy.

"Chenghu, why are you here? The family is all busy?" Gu Mingde knew the Dong family's fields, and it was not an easy thing to finish planting.

Dong Chenghu didn't have much time to talk about spring ploughing, so he looked up around the yard, pulled Gu Mingde seriously and said, "Father-in-law, let's go into the room and talk."

Seeing Dong Chenghu's expression, Gu Mingde only felt that something had happened, and immediately pulled Dong Chenghu into the room without hesitation. Zhao felt strange and followed him, while Gu Erniu had been clinging to Dong Chenghu because he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Entering the house, Dong Chenghu still looked at the yard uneasy, seeing that no one came in, so he whispered: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, there have been many strange things in the mountains recently, Uncle Qin and Shui Xiu said that there may be an earthquake, and I came here today to tell you, hurry up and prepare, and hide everything that should be hidden.

The tent made do with a few nights, and then went back to live in the house after the ground moved. "

When Uncle Qin and Mrs Hao heard the earthquake, their faces turned pale. They were about the same age as Uncle Qin, and they both experienced things. Thinking of the earthquake, they both agreed. Trembling a few times.

Gu Erniu didn't know what ground motion was, and he had never seen it before, but he didn't dare to make trouble when he saw the adult's expression was wrong, but he didn't leave, just sat and listened.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have to worry, fortunately our house is newly built and solid, Shui Xiu said, let you sleep in the yard just in case, it's late spring and it's not too cold , I won't catch a cold if I sleep in the yard, so you can just take care of it for a few days, and I have to go to the town to find the mayor, so I won't stay any longer."

Gu Mingde understood that Dong Chenghu was going to talk to the mayor about the situation in the mountains, and he was a little uneasy and said a few words, which made Gu Erniu pack the donkey cart for Dong Chenghu.

Dong Chenghu arrived at the mayor's house nervously. The servants saw that Dong Chenghu first stopped him and listened to Dong Chenghu's intention. One of them immediately went in and reported that they would be so active, mainly to Dong Chenghu Some people have the impression that ordinary people like them will not come to this place easily if they have nothing to do. Once they come to the mayor, there will be disputes or real estate transactions.

No matter what kind it is, they can't afford to delay it, plus Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu spent so much money last time, they shouldn't take Joe too much this time.

Dong Chenghu did not expect it to be so easy to meet the mayor. Before he could think about it, his servants had already led him to the main room, where the mayor usually works.

I can't bear to bother anymore.

When the mayor pulled away from the official document, he found that Dong Chenghu was still sitting in the main room, neither noisy nor impatient. The acquaintance laughed twice, got up from the desk, and sat beside Dong Chenghu.

"I just happened to encounter something urgent to deal with, so you have to wait for a long time, how about it? What else do you want me to help with this time?" The mayor took a sip of tea and looked Comfortable, four points serious, six points jokingly asked.

Dong Chenghu was a little nervous at first, but the time he waited for the mayor had calmed him down, and he thought about how to speak, when he saw that the mayor took the initiative to ask, he frowned and said: "Actually today The main purpose of looking for the mayor is to talk about some situations in our mountains, if the mayor thinks that there is no serious problem, just pretend that I haven't been here today."

"Oh? What's the situation, let's see." The mayor raised his eyebrows with a bit of interest on his face.

Dong Chenghu didn't have time to worry about this, and said: "It's like this, we have all the news about the many prey that came in the mountain, and the hunter came back and said that all the animals were heading towards the west mountain. , I came all the way from Cuizhu Mountain, and I didn't even see the shadow of a pheasant.

In the past, we didn't say pheasants running all over the mountains, but they were also small prey everywhere. Now we can't even see the feathers of pheasants. I asked a few old hunters, and they said that this happened once before, and that the strangeness in the mountains was because of the earthquake. "

"Earthquake! Is this true? Do you want to know what the consequences will be if you say a lie?" The mayor stood up in shock, staring sharply at Dong Chenghu, He seemed to see something else on his face.

Dong Chenghu was really frightened by the mayor's words, but he turned to think about it, what he said was the truth, and he didn't say that the earthquake would definitely happen this time, what was he guilty of?

Thinking of this, Dong Chenghu calmed down again, "Lord Mayor, I said, these are what the old hunter told me, I didn't find you because I was uneasy, if you If you have doubts, you can send someone to check it out, and if it really does happen, it’s better to make plans early.”

The mayor looked at Dong Chenghu deeply, which was meaningful.

"It's rare that you have the heart, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate. If what you say is true, the mayor will definitely take credit for you."

The mayor also has his own considerations.
