After returning home, Han Qiwu didn't have the energy to chop trees or smash rocks anymore. Seeing that it was still early, he grabbed a small stool and sat in the yard, enjoying the breeze.
Just as he was enjoying the wind, a distant noise suddenly rang out:
"Boom!"
"An earthquake?" Han Qiwu quickly stood up and moved away from the house.
After standing there for a while, Han Qiwu felt no further tremors.
"Hmm..."
The vibration of a text message startled Han Qiwu, nearly making him throw his phone away.
The message read: "Road blockage due to landslide explosion in progress. Please remain calm. Estimated explosion time is half an hour. —Water Buffalo Town Office."
A false alarm—it turned out to be an explosion.
"So exhausting. I'm going to sleep." Han Qiwu tidied up his belongings, tossed the day's fish haul into the sales box, and went to bed early.
Just waiting for tomorrow to raise chickens!
