Power and Wealth

The next day.

Saturday morning, sunny.

Outside the window the birds flutter their wings and squirm for food.

In a small green garden in the distance, the old lady plays Tai Chi, walks birds, walks, and is peaceful and peaceful.

What a beautiful picture.

But for another two days, I'm afraid I won't see anything.

Dong Xuebin, who was resting at home today, looked out on the window, and his heart grew heavier. There was no more hesitation in his mind about the last adventure plan. Dong Xuebin even risked his life to say that everything had to be done. His plan was to publish an article in a newspaper in Fenzhou City with a large circulation volume, so that everyone would know and pay attention to it. However, Dong Xuebin needs an excuse, needs a head start, needs a way to convince most people, otherwise he yells blankly about an earthquake, which can only be considered stupid, no one will believe.

What's the excuse?

Covering up with a friend from the Earthquake Department? If this doesn't work, one phone can poke through it.

Let the provincial earthquake department do a test? Nor can it be detected because the level of forecasting in the country is limited.

Just as Dong Xuebin was hanging his head, all of a sudden, there was some noisy noise on the side of the road in the distance, some people screamed, there was a dog screaming.

“Hey, look at your dog! ”

“I'm sorry. I'm sorry, didn't I bite you? ”

“It's all right, surprise me. ”

“I'm sorry, the dog doesn't know what's going on today, like crazy, always screaming. ”

“Do you have rabies? By the way, our cat was screaming real loud this morning, like crying. ”

“Then I'll go to the pet hospital later. Don't be sick. ”

Seeing here, Dong Xuebin slapped his thigh suddenly, the dog screamed? Cat crying? Animals can warn of earthquakes!

There's an earthquake coming!

There's nothing wrong with that newspaper!

Fearing it was an accident, Dong Xuebin even ignored his shoes. He stepped on his slippers and pulled the door open and walked out of the hall.

Suddenly, I don't know who's dog downstairs is dying to bark, and I can hear people talking in the house.

“Pippi! Stop screaming! ”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! ”

“Pippi! Don't be naughty! ”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! ”

Dong Xuebin's face was heavier. Although he had already had this psychological preparation, he was also a little upset when he saw this scene, and his heart mentioned his voice eyes.

The earthquake is imminent!

Right now, nobody can stop it!

At this time, Dong Xuebin walked downstairs and squeaked. Zhou Yanru, dressed in his pajamas, opened the door and walked out. He took this bag in his hand and seemed to throw something away. When Dong Xuebin was about to go downstairs, Zhou Yanru smiled. "Director, ”

Dong Xuebin paced, “Up? ”

Zhou Yanru smiled and, uh, lifted the bag in his hand, "Just got up, threw something, I don't know when last night, the fish jumped out of the tank, it's not, it's all going to stink. ”

Is the fish responding?

After listening to this, Dong Xuebin's face is even more ugly.

Zhou Yanru realizes this is wrong, "Director, what's wrong? Something wrong? ”

"" The dog in the building has been screaming all morning, "said Dong Xuebin." Outside, there were also a few dogs screaming. So was the cat, as well as your family's fish. ”

Zhou Yanru didn't understand. “This... dog? Fish?”

Dong Xuebin's airway: “I have a bad feeling, very bad! ”

If other people heard this, they might not have thought of anything else, but the cadres of the Guangming Street Office bathed in the knowledge of the earthquake every day during this month, while working for the masses and residents, they absorbed it themselves, so Zhou Yanru quickly realized what Dong Xuebin was saying, surprised, his face was a little white, “Are you saying... it was an earthquake? ”

Sister Zhou has a good voice.

That sounded like a lot of people.

Qu Yiqiang walked out the other door, "Hmm? What's going on here? ”

There's also an open door downstairs, "Sister Yan Ru? What's the matter?” It's Wang Yuling's voice.

See the letter, Dong Xuebin shouted: “All the cadres in the street office come here for a moment, let go of the matters in hand, let's have an emergency meeting! ”

Zhou Yanru rushed back to the house to call someone.

Dong Xuebin knew the time was pressing and set up the task directly. “Director Wang, go to the small garden and see what the state of the stray cats and dogs is. Is there any unusual behavior, Old Qu, aren't there several pigeons in the south building of our community? Ask the pigeons if they're back in the nest.” At this time, Zhou Yanru, who had called, also left the house. Dong Xuebin turned his head: “Director Zhou, go to the west fish market. ”

Wang Yuling didn't understand what was going on. “What is this? What animal are you looking at? ”

Zhou Yanru pulled her nervously, "Come on, talk as you walk! ”

“By the way, remember, don't flaunt!” Dong Xuebin ordered: “Check it out first, don't cause panic! ”

“I get it.” Zhou Yanru and Qu Yiqiang immediately went downstairs.

A moment later, the footsteps upstairs were depressed, and Gengxinke came, "Something wrong? ”

Dong Xuebin stepped upstairs, “Go, go to my house. ”

… in half an hour.

Dong Jia, almost all the main leaders of the street office have arrived, the smoke in the house, several big gentlemen smoke one at a time, the expression is not very good.

“Isn't that a coincidence? ”

“I think so, probably by chance. ”

“If it were true... it would be broken. ”

“Eh, Yuling is back. ”

Everyone stop talking and look at the door.

Wang Yuling and Zhou Yanru entered the house, and Qu Yiqiang returned afterwards.

Dong Xuebin extinguished the cigarette butt, “What happened? ”

Zhou Yanru's face curled: “Just went to the fish market, a dozen stalls of fish were mostly nothing unusual, but a couple of fish in two tanks jumped everywhere. I asked the merchant, they said it was okay, maybe the fish tank was out of oxygen, but I didn't think it looked like it, but then the fish were jumping after oxygen. ”

Wang Yuling then said: “I also saw it in the garden, two dogs are always barking, the other seven or eight are fine, the stray cat is also mostly normal, there is only one cat, a passerby feeds it, but it says nothing, and there are still haha people everywhere. ”

Dong Xuebin looked at Qu Yiqiang, “Old Qu, where are you? ”

Qu Yiqiang said: “The pigeons are in the nest, the anomaly is not great. ”

After listening, a lot of people were relieved.

Yu Rongfeng said: "Since most animals don't have any special reactions, should that be okay? ”

Zhou Yanru rebutted: “Animals can predict earthquakes. This is an anomaly. Where do dogs scream so often? So are my fish. I've had them for four or five years. Why did they pop out of the tank tonight? Oops, my heart is all about this now, if it's an earthquake..."

Wang Yuling said: “In that case, I don't think I really have the heart. ”

Qu Yiqiang muttered: “I don't think it's going to be a problem? Is it a coincidence? Or is there something special about the weather these past two days? ”

“Yeah, just a handful of animals, shouldn't take that judgment. ”

“Well, if all animals have anomalies, then...”

Dong Xuebin interrupted: “All animals? If all the dogs in the city were screaming before the earthquake, who knew it was coming? But how come you never know? It's impossible for all animals to have such abnormal reactions. Director Zhou is right, a small part of it already explains the problem. This kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000, in case of an earthquake, the consequences are simply unimaginable! ”

One hand set the tone, and the other cadres didn't say anything.

But a lot of people still think it's impossible. A few cats and dogs screaming is an earthquake? That's too much.

Dong Xuebin ordered: "Director Zhou, you should call a report and report back to the district. ”

“Understood.” Zhou Yanru said.

“Director Wang.” Dong Xuebin: “Contact the provincial earthquake department. You can't drive around. Be sure to invite some professionals. ”

“Okay, I'll be in touch.” Wang Yuling said.

Dong Xuebin was assigned a task. He knew that the earthquake would definitely come. There was no need to investigate these. The earthquake did not have to be done by Dong Xuebin alone. He needed evidence and scientific arguments. Dong Xuebin was also looking for an entry point. Now he finds that, with the abnormal reactions of these animals, although not very convincing, he can at least make Dong Xuebin straightforward and shout out. Even if only one or two of the hundred dogs are screaming, it is also a phenomenon. It is a basis, not Dong Xuebin is spreading rumors!

As soon as the street people left, Dong Xuebin opened his computer and started writing.

He wrote this very carefully, documented the abnormality of the chicken and duck fish dog, wrote some puff results, and spent enough time in his morning.

Afternoon.

Just as Dong Xuebin was about to contact the newspaper directly to cut off the afterplay, Wang Yuling called. "Director, the results of the earthquake hall came out. ”

Dong Xuebin glanced at him, “So soon? ”

Wang Yuling said: "I contacted the earthquake hall after I left in the morning. They sent someone over soon. They'd already arrived. ”

“What's the result? ”

“Just came out, they said it was okay. ”

“Are you okay? ”

“Their people tested, saying that there were no earthquake signs, and the dogs, the fish, saying that it might be accidental, that there were no abnormalities on their detection instruments anyway. ”

No earthquake signs.

After receiving this information, all the street office cadres who had previously met at Dong Xuebin's house grew a breath and finally stood firm.

But Dong Xuebin was upset, paralyzed, what earthquake station! What an expert! If I hadn't known the earthquake would be the day after tomorrow! I've been fooled!

There's no sign of an earthquake.

You're messing with me, aren't you?

You can't detect an earthquake until it's collapsed? What are you looking for? Anyone with eyes can see! It's fucking late!
