One hundred and ninety-seven,

But after a tiring day yesterday, Li Jingfei didn't have time to think about this question at all. Today is a day to send gifts and greetings everywhere, and I don't have time to think about anything else, until Qi Erbao drank too much after eating, and then confided in him.

However, Qi Erbao is picking some prey on the mountain to sell for money, and he can't provide much valuable information, plus he drinks so much that his tongue is big, and he can't speak clearly, what useful content can he be expected to provide.

After paying the money, Li Jingfeng set up Qi Erbao and walked back.

At this time, Qi Erbao was already in a daze, and shouted loudly: "Cripple, the money is on the account, tomorrow I will go to the mountains to pick a tiger for you." ”

It wasn't until Qi Erbao was helped to bed that Li Jingfei got up and said goodbye.

Looking at the back of Li Jingfei leaving, Qi Dahai sighed and said, "It's the same baby, why is the gap so big?"

When I got home, my wife was chatting with her parents. Seeing that Li Jingfeng was full of alcohol, the old mother blamed: "Why do you drink so much wine, his father, hurry up and heat the soup in the pot, let the child drink a bowl, and sober up." ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... Li Jingfei said with a smile: "I had a good chat with Qi Erbao today, and I drank a few more glasses." ”

"Qi Erbao is something you can drink, he hunts in the mountains all the year round, and the wine is not left with him. ”

But in fact, the old mother really underestimated her son. Since Li Jingfei has sat in the position of the head of the special case team, all kinds of entertainment are indispensable. Whether it is drinking alcohol or persuading others to drink, it is all after long-term practice.

After drinking the soup in the bowl, they wiped their bodies with hot water, and then the old couple let the husband and wife leave.

"It seems that this Qi Erbao won't be able to get up before noon tomorrow. On the way back, Wang Qingyun teased.

"When we got out of the restaurant, he was unconscious, I don't know if he couldn't get up, but we had to get up. ”

"What, is there any place to go tomorrow?" Wang Qingyun asked with some doubts, this village is so big, everyone who can visit has visited today.

I saw Li Jingfei stretch out his hand and point to the low but rolling mountain range in the distance and said, "I heard that this mountain has not been peaceful recently, and I want to go and see it." ”

At this time, it was already dark, and the endless mountains looked mysterious and strange in the moonlight, and it seemed that a large number of bats would fly out with a sedan chair in the next second.

"It seems that you drunk Qi Erbao for a purpose. ”

When they came to the guest house, the aunt was not watching TV like she had done last night, but waiting for them.

As soon as he saw the two, he greeted him warmly, and said that he was married to this village, and he usually walked around a lot with Li Jingfei's parents.

It seems that the big purchase in the morning made her realize that the two people in front of her were the living God of Wealth.

When they returned to their room, they found that their room had been cleaned, the sheets and quilts had been cleaned, and the slippers had been replaced with new ones.

After the two took a shower and went to bed, Wang Qingyun asked Li Jingfeng, what happened in the mountains?

So, Li Jingfei told what he said when he was drinking with Qi Erbao at night, and the doubts they heard during the conversation between the two when they were resting at the entrance of the village that day.

"You mean, the earthquake on the mountain came a little strangely. ”

"Not bad, so I'd like to investigate tomorrow and see if there's anything unusual in the mountains. ”

"Maybe it's because I've been dealing with those strange cases for a long time, and I always feel that this thing is a little strange. ”

"Don't talk about you, even after listening to what you said, I don't think it's normal. But don't be in a hurry to go to the mountains tomorrow, first explore the village, learn more about the situation, and call Qi Erbao when you go up the mountain, he hunts in the mountains all the year round, and he travels most frequently in the mountains after the earthquake, so he should be able to find some unusual places. ”

Although Li Jingfei has been dealing with special cases for a long time, when it comes to being careful and thoughtful, he is still inferior to his wife. He only had doubts about the strange things in the mountain, and he wanted to go and see it, so he thought of investigating the surroundings first, and then finding a guide to enter the mountain together.

After such a little bit of attention from his wife, Li Jingfei immediately felt that the case was about to be solved.

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, maybe it was the fatigue of the days, maybe it was the lack of burden in his heart, Li Jingfeng soon fell asleep.

The next morning, I got up to wash, oh, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and towels were all replaced, and the aunt's service was quite thoughtful, probably thinking that the two of them could consume something more.

But unfortunately, the couple didn't buy anything, not even breakfast.

This is what Li Jingfei's mother insisted, she felt that the things at home were still clean, so they let the two of them come to the house for breakfast when they got up in the morning.

Because Li Jingfei had something to ask in his heart, he walked faster than usual, and when he got home, the porridge in the pot had just been prepared.

During the meal, Li Jingfei casually asked about the earthquake in the mountains.

It turned out that the old couple didn't know much about it, because when the earthquake happened, they were riding a bull cart to the station, when they only heard a loud noise, felt that the ground shook slightly, and did not think about the earthquake.

After breakfast, Li Jingfeng and the two went out under the pretext of going to see the surrounding scenery.

"Are there any unusual findings?" asked Wang Qingyun shortly after leaving the door.

"When you were in school, did you learn anything about earthquake prevention? ”

"What do you mean?"

"I remember telling us at the time that animals react abnormally before an earthquake: large livestock do not enter the enclosure, dogs bark, birds or insects startle and fly, abnormal group migration, etc. But my mother just said that at the time of the earthquake, they were sitting on the ox cart. If there was a real earthquake, the cow would have reacted in advance, but the cow did nothing and pulled people and passengers as usual. ”

But according to Qi Erbao's description, the animals in the mountains are like the end of the world, the small animals are dead, and the medium animals are also slow to react and become non-aggressive. ”

"It seems that this matter is more complicated than we thought, so we have to ask a few more places. ”

On this day, the two visited each household in the village separately.

Because the earthquake didn't attract anyone's attention at all, no one took it seriously, so when asked about their situation, they were also very curious.

Of course, the two also made up a reason, saying that although the earthquake was not harmful, the prevention and control work should not be taken lightly, and they came to ask about this just to understand the situation and see if they could apply for some disaster prevention materials from their superiors.

As soon as those people heard that they could receive supplies for free, they immediately started talking about it one by one.

In order to get more supplies, they also said that they were very miserable, saying that they had nothing to do, and that it was a small matter, but that it was a big thing. Cracks appeared in the walls of the house for a long time, and it was said that the earthquake had caused it, and the hens in the house laid eggs a day, which was also said to have been caused by the earthquake, otherwise they could have laid two eggs a day.

In the evening, the two returned to the guest house, and the two sat on the edge of the bed for a long time without speaking.

The two of them were tired from this day, their mouths were dry, and their brains were still a little buzzing.

After a long rest, the two began to sort out the information.

Although the people in the village have said a lot, in fact there is not much useful information, and most of them are villagers crying about how much property they have lost in the earthquake.

During the day, the two collected information, and at night they sorted it out at the guest house.

There are a few things that are generally useful:

1. The earthquake occurred not long ago, but there was no warning for the livestock in the village.

2. At the time of the earthquake, there were no signs of panic in the mountains.

3. Sometimes some villagers go to the foot of the mountain to see what the situation is, but they find that there is nothing unusual at all, there is no landslide after the earthquake or the diversion of water from the dumping of large trees.

Looking at these sorted out information, the husband and wife had a strange idea - whether there was an earthquake or not.

The two of them looked at everyone's descriptions of the earthquake again, and finally realized that it might not really be an earthquake, so they didn't attract the attention of the village.

Wang Qingyun looked at these and said, "Even if it wasn't an earthquake, wouldn't the villagers be a little panicked?"

"If it's only once in a hundred years, it's possible, but what if it's the norm?"

"You guys do this often?" Wang Qingyun said with some surprise.

"Of course it's not often, otherwise who can stand it, but it's not rare, there will be so many times a year, that's why the villagers don't pay attention to it so much. ”

It turns out that this small village is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and although the mountains are not high, they are continuous mountains, turning over one after another. Since ancient times, there are many famous mountain monks, and there are demons in an endless stream.

If you think about it, there are all demons, and it is not surprising that some anomalies are occurring.

The mountains are lush with vegetation and abundant water vapor, and when the evaporated water vapor meets the cold and humid air currents in the upper altitude, heavy rain is formed.

These heavy rains often stop before they reach the hills on both sides of the village, so the village doesn't know about the rain in the mountains.

Sometimes, the rain is not just a downpour, but also thunder and lightning. The terrain of the village is also special (what kind of special method, I don't know, anyway, it's just for the needs of the plot), and often a blast can travel far away. At that time, the situation of the earthquake was like a thunderstorm in the past, so it did not attract the attention of the villagers.

It's just that this time the sound was a little loud, spread a little far, and was accompanied by a slight shaking, which attracted the attention of the geological bureau in the town and sent someone to explore.

Since there was nothing out of the ordinary, and the villagers had nothing to lose, there was a symbolic condolence, and the matter was over.

The two discussed, Wang Qingyun will accompany his parents tomorrow, so that the old couple can rest assured and not think nonsense, while Li Jingfei went to the city's geological exploration bureau to report the situation, hoping that they could send someone to investigate.

Lying on the bed, Li Jingfeng couldn't sleep. A good newlywed, how can there be such a thing, and it is in his hometown, no matter what.

Lying on the bed and not moving, he was very uncomfortable, but he was afraid of disturbing his wife on the side, so he could only endure it.

Later, I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep in a daze. But he didn't sleep very deeply, it seemed that he was dreaming, dreaming that there was another earthquake in the village, and he wanted to get up from the bed to save his parents, but he couldn't move.

Although the surroundings were shaking all the time, there was no rumbling sound like an earthquake, but I heard my wife's cries. Li Jingfei suddenly woke up, it turned out to be a dream.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, the husband and wife casually ate some breakfast and set off separately.

Although you are in a hurry, the ox cart is not your mount, and it can be summoned with a single command.

It took a lot of effort to come to the Municipal Geological Exploration Bureau.

After registering at the gate, Li Jingfei explained his situation to the receptionist in the hall.

At this moment, a dark-brown-skinned woman of about forty years old passed by him, and when she heard Li Jingfei talk about the situation over there, she said to him: "This gentleman, we have also heard of the earthquake in your place, and the town's geological exploration team has sent people to go there, saying that there is no sign of an earthquake there, but the thunder during the thunderstorm in the mountains is too loud, causing people to mistakenly think it is an earthquake. ”

"Who are you?"

"I am a geological hazard inspector, specializing in safety monitoring of areas where flash floods and earthquakes have occurred, to see if the original site is suitable for reconstruction and whether there will be another disaster. ”

"In that case, I'll tell you a little bit about what I've investigated, and whether it's a simple physical phenomenon. ”

"Okay, you come to the office with me. ”

In the office, the inspector listened to Li Jingfei's description, and wondered why the people in the town didn't say this when they came to report. Because this man lives in the village, he is afraid that there will be a second earthquake, or he wants to make the disaster more serious, so that the post-disaster reconstruction department can allocate funds.

What the inspectors didn't know was that those people in the town didn't go to the mountains at all for fear of trouble, but just walked around the town a few times, tested the geological structure with the tester, and found that there was not much change, so they directly reported it as a natural phenomenon of excessive thunder in the mountains.

"All of these situations you mentioned are inferred from the mysterious death of animals, and the death of such a large number of animals at the same time is an unsolved mystery in the first place. In this case, you'd better go to the animal protection association and ask them to go into the mountains to investigate, and maybe they can find something. ”

"I'll go to the Animal Protection Society, too, but it's better if you both work together, so that you have a better chance of finding and solving problems. ”

"Well, you leave a contact information, and I'll report the situation and I'll let you know whatever the final outcome is. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”

The lunch was really solved in a fast food restaurant in the city, because he didn't know if the other party would find him to verify the situation again, Li Jingfei didn't dare to go back, but wandered around aimlessly.

As I walked, I came to the most prosperous and lively square in the city, thinking that I wouldn't go back for a while anyway, so I might as well buy some good daily necessities for my parents.

Li Jingfei himself is a person who can get by in terms of quality of life, what is good and what is suitable for those people, how does he know, it all depends on the waiter's introduction.

When he was carrying a large bag of things, the WeChat of the mobile phone rang.

The information was sent by the inspector, saying that she had reported the situation, and the leader agreed to go to the mountains with the Animal Protection Association to explore, but she had to prepare in advance and would not be able to go until a few days.

Seeing this information, Li Jingfei's heart was a little more relaxed, it is better for professionals to come than for them laymen to guess, maybe it is not a big deal, but a thunder in the sky shook a group of birds to death.
