Before dawn the next day, Dong Chenghu got up and cleaned up. Looking at the weather outside, his brows frowned again. In the past, the comfortable morning breeze should have blown in the mountains at this time, and there was a hint of coolness in the wind, but today it seemed that the wind stopped and it was still depressed, which made people feel upset.

Dong Chenghu no longer thought about it and seized the time to go out.

Along the way, as Uncle Qin said, even the sound of insects and birds chirping was much smaller. What surprised Dong Chenghu even more was that he didn't even encounter a pheasant and hare. Could it be that he would migrate collectively?

Dong Chenghu, who was unwilling to give up, even looked for it, and finally gave up. He really had nothing, and he didn't even see a single feather!

Thinking of this, Dong Chenghu quickly accelerated his pace to Caozi Village.

The spring plowing has passed, and the Gu family has become idle. Gu Daniu works in the county government office, but is not at home. Without Gu Daniu, the Gu family has only three people left, and there are fewer people and fewer things.

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

Dong Chenghu's arrival broke the tranquility, but the Gu family was very happy.

"Chenghu, why are you here? You've finished all the family's work?" Gu Mingde knew that the Dong family's fields were not easy to plant.

Dong Chenghu didn't have much intention to talk about spring farming. He looked up at the yard and pulled Gu Mingde with a serious look on his face and said, "Father-in-law, let's go into the house and talk."

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

After entering the house, Dong Chenghu still looked at the yard with concern. Seeing that no one was coming in, he whispered: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, many strange things have happened in the mountains recently. Uncle Qin and Shui Xiu said that the ground might be going to happen. I came here today to tell you, hurry up and make preparations, and hide all the food and other things that should be hidden.

Shuixiu asked me to tell you that we won’t go back to the house to sleep in the next few days. Anyway, our family has built such a large yard, and we can’t see the situation at home outside. So we set up a tent in the yard for a few nights, and then we will go back to the house to live after the place has moved."

When Uncle Qin and Hao heard the earth move, their faces turned pale. They were about the same age as Uncle Qin and had experienced things. Thinking of the earth move, the two trembled a few times at the same time.

Gu Erniu didn't understand what earth movement was, nor did he see it. He just saw that the adults looked wrong and did not dare to make trouble, but he didn't leave, just sat and listened.

"Don't worry about my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Fortunately, our house is newly built and sturdy. Shuixiu said that you should sleep in the yard just in case. It is not cold now, and it will not catch a cold when sleeping in the yard. You will only take a few days first. I will go to the town to find the mayor, so I won't leave more."

Gu Mingde understood that Dong Chenghu was going to go to the mayor to talk about the situation in the mountains. He felt a little uneasy and said a few more words, so he asked Gu Erniu to pack up the donkey cart for Dong Chenghu.

With the donkey cart, the speed suddenly got up. It was just noon when I arrived in the town, and the spring plowing had ended. At this time, the mayor should be at home.

Dong Chenghu arrived at the house of the town mayor's house nervously. When the servant saw Dong Chenghu stopping him first, he heard Dong Chenghu's intention. One of them went in and reported that they were so active, mainly because they had some impression of Dong Chenghu. He would not come to this place easily if anyone like them had nothing to do. Once they came to find the town mayor, there would be a dispute or a transaction of real estate.

No matter which one it is, they are not able to afford it. In addition, Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu are generous last time, so they are not going to take Qiao too much this time.

Dong Chenghu didn't expect it to be so easy to see the mayor. Without waiting for him to think deeply, his servants had already led him to the main hall, which was where the mayor usually works.

"Brother Dong family, I heard you have something to come to me?" The mayor, who was busy, looked up at Dong Chenghu and then continued to approve the official documents. Sometimes he thought deeply and sometimes thought about it. Dong Chenghu couldn't bear to disturb him after seeing it.

When the mayor stepped out of the official document, he found that Dong Chenghu was still sitting in the main hall, not making noise or making noise, nor was he impatient. The mayor was a little grateful, and he was an old acquaintance, laughed twice, got up from the desk, and sat next to Dong Chenghu.

"I happened to encounter some things that I was in a hurry to deal with, so I've been waiting for you for a long time. How about it? What else do you need to ask me for help this time?" The mayor took a sip of tea, looked comfortable, and asked jokingly.

Dong Chenghu was still a little nervous, and he had calmed down while waiting for the mayor. He thought about how to speak. Seeing that the mayor took the initiative to ask, he frowned and said, "Actually, I mainly wanted to talk about some of the situations in our mountains today. If the mayor felt that there was nothing serious, he would think that I hadn't been here today."

"Oh? Let's see what the situation is." The mayor raised his eyebrows, with a little interest on his face.

Dong Chenghu had no time to care about this and said, "That's right. There are news about many preys coming into our mountain. I heard from the hunters who came back and said that all the animals were heading towards the west mountain. I came out of Cuizhu Mountain and didn't even see the shadow of a pheasant.

In the past, although we didn’t say that pheasants ran all over the ground in the deep mountains, they were still small preys everywhere. Now they can’t even see the feathers of pheasants. I asked a few old hunters, and they said that this situation happened once before, and that strangeness occurred in the mountains was because of earthquakes.”

"Earth moves! Do you take this seriously? Do you have to know what consequences you will bear if you say a lie?" The mayor stood up in shock, staring at Dong Chenghu sharply, as if he wanted to see something else from his face.

Dong Chenghu was indeed frightened by the mayor's words, but he just thought about it again and said that all he said was the truth, and he didn't say that there would definitely be an earthquake this time. Why did he feel guilty?

Thinking of this, Dong Chenghu calmed down again, "Master, I said that these are all told by the old hunter. I didn't find you because I was uneasy. If you have any doubts, you can send someone to check it out. If the ground really happens, it's better to make plans early."

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

"It's rare that you are willing, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate. If what you said is true, this mayor will definitely ask for me for you."

The mayor also has his own considerations.
