Chapter 14 Might Cause a Disturbance.
As Gu Yu was thinking about these things, he didn’t go straight home. Instead, he followed the village chief, led by Yang Dazhuang, towards Yang Dazhuang’s house, wanting to see the phenomenon of the well water bubbling.
Although it might be a false alarm, Gu Yu felt it was better to see it, which would also put his mind at ease.
The unusual weather in the past few days had already caught Gu Yu’s attention, and coupled with the bubbling well water, it gave Gu Yu a worse premonition.
However, there was no solid proof yet, so it was better for him to maintain an optimistic attitude.
“Village Chief, it’s right here. I’ve been going to other people’s houses to fetch water for two consecutive days, and it’s been very difficult!”
“You’ve only fetched water for a few days, and you’re already complaining. What else can you do in the future! Wait, let me take a look first.”
When they arrived at Yang Dazhuang’s house, the village chief listened to his words and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. After that, he ignored Yang Dazhuang and walked towards the well to see what was going on.
In the past two days, not only Yang Dazhuang’s well followed this pattern, but other households in the village had also raised similar opinions, which made the village chief very troubled. He thought to himself, how could he know the reason when he wasn’t an immortal?
Fortunately, Gu Yu was with him this time, which made the village chief feel much more at ease.
Gu Yu of the Gu family was a very smart person. With him around, perhaps he could see something.
This way, they would know… what was going on with the bubbling well water.
Thinking about this, the village chief and Gu Yu came to the well. As they peered inside, they saw that the well water was murky.
The continuously rising bubbles brought up the dirt from the soil, making the well water even dirtier.
“The well water in your house is indeed not clean!”
“Village Chief, would I lie to you? What should I do now!”
“Cough, cough, I’m not too sure about this. I’ll go back and check some books to see if there’s any record.”
After examining the condition of the well, the village chief frowned, unable to understand the reason for the well’s condition. Now, he could only comfort Yang Dazhuang and prepare to go back and check.
Meanwhile, Gu Yu stared intently at the well during this time, and his bad feeling had reached its peak!
Afterward, as if to confirm whether his guess was correct, Gu Yu listened around to see if there were any livestock in Yang Dazhuang’s house.
When he heard the clucking of chickens a few times, he stopped staring at the well and walked towards the chicken coop, preparing to further verify if his speculation was correct.
“Village Chief, I’ve been curious since just now, why did Gu Yu follow me to my house!”
“I went to other places with Gu Yu. Things weren’t finished yet. As soon as I came back, you called me over, so I naturally had to come along.”
“But even if he came, why did he go to my chicken coop? The hens were so scared that they were clucking loudly!”
“Don’t be ridiculous! I heard chickens clucking as soon as I arrived at your house. Don’t blame others for everything.”
While the village chief and Yang Dazhuang were talking, Yang Dazhuang looked at Gu Yu, who was putting his hands behind his back and wandering towards the chicken coop, with a look of confusion on his face, wondering what Gu Yu was doing there.
The chicken coop didn’t smell good either. Could it be that Gu Yu had a special preference?
While Yang Dazhuang was secretly thinking this, Gu Yu no longer stayed in the chicken coop. Instead, he walked over with a serious expression. The village chief standing beside him felt a sense of foreboding, wondering if Gu Yu had figured something out.
“Gu Yu, this…”
“I don’t know the reason either. I must go back and check! Village Chief, you come with me. We’ll invite someone from town to take a look tomorrow.”
“Alright! Yang Dazhuang, you’ll have to fetch water from others’ houses for the next few days. The water in this well is too dirty, so don’t drink it.”
“Village Chief, even if you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t dare to drink it!”
After the village chief gave a few instructions to Yang Dazhuang, he left with Gu Yu. Afterward, seeing Gu Yu’s consistently serious expression, the village chief was very curious, wondering why Gu Yu had suddenly changed like this.
Could it be that Gu Yu encountered something in the chicken coop?
“Village Chief, I’ve discovered something terrifying.”
“Ah?”
“In the next few days, there is likely to be an earthquake… a massive tremor like a ‘Dragon Turn Over’ that will cause houses to collapse.”
“What! A dragon!”
When there was no one else around, Gu Yu finally spoke to the village chief, telling him about his discovery so that he could be mentally prepared in advance.
Gu Yu couldn’t say it directly when Yang Dazhuang was nearby, so he could only choose to say it now.
What if Yang Dazhuang heard his words and spread them everywhere… that would not be good.
It might cause a disturbance.
Therefore, it was best to let the village chief know first and then have him inform the villagers.
This arrangement would not cause panic and would allow the villagers to prepare in an orderly manner.
Furthermore, Gu Yu had to go to the Lian Town County Office to inform Magistrate Bai of his discovery so that he could also be prepared in advance.
The abnormal weather, the bubbling well water, and the strange animal behavior… all of these led Gu Yu to think of an earthquake.
Especially since this abnormal situation had not just begun but had persisted for some time, which made Gu Yu worry that the earthquake that would occur later might be very strong.
In that case, he had to prepare in advance.
Before he transmigrated, Gu Yu had seen the horrors of earthquakes on television, so he had to make thorough preparations to ensure that there would be no danger to his life.
Of course, telling others was just a secondary matter; it depended on whether they believed him.
When the village chief heard Gu Yu’s words, his expression also turned very grim. The term “dragon” likely made the village chief’s heart skip a beat, and he hoped that Gu Yu was wrong.
However, from Gu Yu’s grim expression, it was clear that he was not wrong!
“These are just my speculations, so I’m not sure if they are true or false. However, Village Chief, it’s better for you to take precautions in advance. If it doesn’t happen, then it’s good, but if it really happens, it will be terrible.”
“Okay, I’ll check again when I get back. If it’s really a precursor to the dragon’s arrival, we must prepare in advance.”
After saying this, Gu Yu and the village chief did not stay together any longer. They quickly separated and each went to handle their own affairs.
The village chief was going to verify the truth, while Gu Yu had to tell Gu Mengyao and her brother about this matter so that they could also prepare in advance.
There were no earthquake detection instruments in Lian Town, which made Gu Yu feel anxious and unsure of what would happen next. He hoped it wouldn’t be too bad!
Now that life was just getting better, and here came another problem…
Damn fate, it just didn’t want him to live a peaceful life!
Thinking of this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh. Then, he quickened his pace to go home.
