Chapter 184: Save Your Life First
"Mr. Murong, where is your beard?"
When he arrived at the cafeteria, You Huang almost didn't recognize Murong Xuan at first sight when he suddenly saw him without his iconic beard.
Murong Xuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I fell asleep while reading yesterday. Maybe I accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, and the light ignited the book, accidentally burning a bit of my beard. So I simply shaved it off and will slowly grow it back in the future."
You Huang thought of the tremor last night: "The oil lamp may not have been pushed by you, it may have been a natural disaster."
"How do you say this?"
Murong asked doubtfully, if it wasn't him who pushed it, could there be something else?
You Huang smiled and said, "I felt a violent vibration for a moment last night. Daji was so scared that she went under the bed. After that, there was no movement. On the way to school, my cousin said that something in her room fell to the ground for no reason. Later, my cousin also said that many things fell to the ground at night, which scared her and she couldn't sleep all night."
"Now that Chu Youhuang said that, I feel relieved." Mr. Fang, who was sitting next to him, also said, "I found a few paintings dropped on the ground this morning. I thought it was haunted."
"I guess it was an earthquake, but it was so short-lived that most people didn't notice it." Yan Rong suddenly spoke up, looking at You Huang and asked, "You felt the earthquake, but didn't you go out to take a look?"
"After they went out, not even the dogs barked, let alone the people."
You Huang brought out the last dish and said, "If Daji hadn't been hiding under the bed, the students would have thought it was a dream."
"Daji slept with you?" Yan Rong asked suddenly. You Huang said, "The maids made a fox den for it next to the bed."
"That's good, let's eat first and talk later."
Yan Rong was hinting to Youhuang that he should finish what Yu Ti Shi said, otherwise he would not be able to have a good meal.
You Huang immediately said generously: "Put out a steamed fish. We have perch caught in the river today. Let's have a taste together."
When the perch was mentioned, Murong Xuan paused while eating and said, "If you really can't write a poem about early spring, just use the poem "Fisherman on the River" from last time. I think it's also good."
"If the Marquis' wife saw this, she would think I was making a sarcastic remark." You Huang took a piece of sea bass, tasted it and said, "Who wouldn't like such good sea bass? Let's finish the meal first and then discuss the issue."
This is what it means to be grateful to someone who has given you your food. After you eat someone else's fish, you cannot criticize them.
Putting aside her previous life, Shen Zhaojun really had nothing to say to her in this life. As for the purpose of taking her back home, You Huang had also thought about it seriously.
If Shen Zhaojun had not taken her back home, Chu Ce would have been possessed by a demon in a few days. With his martial arts skills, his strength would have increased dramatically, and the people from the Tianji Pavilion might not be able to stop him together. The first group of people to suffer would be his closest relatives who share the same blood with him.
I am one of them.
If you think about it, it can be considered as saving himself, so Youhuang didn't care too much about it.
You Huang reached out his chopsticks to pick up another plate of roasted rabbit meat, when he suddenly felt the stool vibrate violently and fell to the ground before he could react.
After coming to his senses, he looked at the food scattered all over the floor, especially the roasted rabbit meat. You Huang couldn't help but yelled, "My roasted rabbit meat, I haven't even eaten a bite yet..."
"Save your life first."
Yan Rong pulled You Huang and ran outside.
As soon as everyone left the canteen, it collapsed.
"What's going on?"
Youhuang was shocked. An earthquake must have some signs before it happens.
Yan Rong understood that this time there was a real earthquake, and said to You Huang: "I will go to Tsinghua University to take a look, you find a place to hide first."
"Notify everyone to go to an open area to avoid being crushed by collapsed buildings." You Huang woke them up and said, "I'll go check on Chu Youyou. There are a lot of people over there, so it's easy for a stampede to happen."
"You should also pay attention to your own safety."
Yan Rong left after giving some instructions and hurried to Qihua Garden where the junior class was located.
As a result, when we walked into Qihua Garden, we found that nothing was unusual. The gentlemen in charge of the elementary classes who came with us were also shocked, but they were more relieved than shocked.
"Chu Youhuang, why are you here?"
Chu Youyou was also surprised when she suddenly saw Youhuang appear with several gentlemen.
As soon as Chu Youyou called out, many people looked at Youhuang. After all, he was the only one who had passed the full armor test in all the years since the establishment of the Palace Academy.
Nothing happened in Qihua Garden. You Huang was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Yan asked you to come and get him something. Let's go, gentlemen."
Several gentlemen also understood that it was better not to scare the students before the matter was clarified. One of them said, "Mr. Yan doesn't like to eat anything, but he likes to drink tea. He knew that I brought tea leaves back home during the Chinese New Year, so he insisted that I give some to him."
"He also looked at my dim sum and said it goes well with tea."
"..."
A few people walked outside while talking, making Chu Youyou look envious.
After walking outside, they quickly reunited with other teachers and found that except for the faculty and staff canteen, no other places had experienced an earthquake.
"Chu Youhuang, do you feel the same as you did last night?"
Yan Rong immediately asked Youhuang, if it was an earthquake, it would be impossible for only one place to collapse.
You Huang thought for a moment and replied, "It's not that violent. It feels like something is crawling underneath...why don't we go back and take a look?"
"Let's go."
The two walked towards the dining hall together.
Looking at the dining hall that was flattened to the ground in the blink of an eye, Youhuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What could have escaped her perception and passed under her feet? No, even if it was a mouse crawling over, she would be able to sense it.
"Chu Youhuang, come here quickly." Yan Rong suddenly called Youhuang.
"Sir, what have you found?" Youhuang walked over immediately.
Yan Rong is currently in the kitchen. You Huang immediately walked over and found that there was an extra hole in the kitchen.
The size was just enough for one person to go in. The two looked at each other, and You Huang immediately said, "Quickly gather all the people who were in the dining hall just now and count the number of people."
"Chu Youhuang, this is no small matter." Yan Rong immediately understood the meaning of her words, and once confirmed it was a terrible thing.
"But we cannot rule out ..."
You Huang hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's take inventory, just to get some peace of mind."
Yan Rong quickly notified everyone to come over and took count of all the people present at the time, except for Xiao Cai, the kitchen cutter.
The chef immediately said, "Xiao Cai must have gone to work, otherwise everyone wouldn't have been able to eat. But later on, when I was serving food to everyone, I didn't pay much attention to what was happening afterwards, but he must have been in the kitchen at the time."
"This child is honest and never leaves early." The lady next to him also spoke up.
"Of course I believe Xiao Cai." Yan Rong immediately comforted him and called the chef to the side of the big hole: "Is this the location of the cutting and preparation room?"
"Yes, this is the cutting and preparation room..." The chef glanced at the hole on the ground and said in shock, "Hey, when did this hole appear?"
"Was there no hole here originally?" Youhuang asked in deliberate surprise.
The chef said with certainty: "No, why would there be a hole in the cutting room?"
