Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Gu Zhan took An Qing to the weeds where the cave was discovered before, pointed at the faint traces of water seeping on the ground and said, "It's here."

Anqing had a bad feeling ever since he noticed the color of the weeds here was different from that in other places. The weeds in other places had already become listless under the scorching sun, but the grass here was exceptionally fresh and tender.

Gu Zhan squatted down, pushed aside the weeds, and completely exposed the tiny hole that was slowly seeping water.

Anqing's face turned serious and he quickly squatted down to check the situation.

When they finally left, An Qing asked cautiously, "Gu Zhan, how credible is it that you said there would be a heavy rainstorm in mid-August?"

Gu Zhan paused. He wanted to say 100 percent, but that was too absolute, so after thinking about it, he decided to use a more euphemistic approach: "About 90 percent."

Hearing what Gu Zhan said, An Qing's face turned pale. He whispered to Gu Zhan: "Come on, take me to see your captain."

Gu Zhan and An Qing finally found Zhao Baogen by the cornfield.

Zhao Baogen was frustrated because he couldn't solve the problem of opening the floodgates to release water, when he suddenly heard Gu Zhan calling him from behind.

"Uncle Zhao."

"You kid..." Zhao Baogen didn't finish his words. He turned around and saw Gu Zhan and An Qing, the stationmaster of Xiaohe Water Conservancy Station, standing together. Zhao Baogen was startled and quickly stood up and greeted them: "Stationmaster An!"

Anqing looked at the dried corn and immediately had a solution to the problem. If he opened the gate to release water now and then repaired the reservoir, when there was a heavy rain, there would be enough water stored in the reservoir. In this way, all the problems would be solved.

The key issue now lies in whether this young man, who seems to be very confident in his words, is telling the truth when he says that there will be heavy rain in mid-August?

After figuring this out, Anqing had a basic idea in mind when he found Zhao Baogen: "Captain, we just discovered water seepage in Shanghe Reservoir. I'm going to the county to report the situation to the higher authorities. I'd like to trouble you to send someone to strictly monitor it and report any problems promptly."

When Zhao Baogen heard about water seepage in the reservoir, his face turned pale. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the nearest Shanghe Village if an accident happened.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go over there and keep a strict watch."

After bidding farewell to Zhao Baogen, An Qing once again asked Gu Zhan for confirmation before leaving Shanghe Village: "Young man, are you sure there will be a heavy rainstorm in mid-August?"

Gu Zhan nodded affirmatively: "Stationmaster, you just saw it. I am from Shanghe Village. I won't run away. So would you consider trusting me?"

Gu Zhan's words seemed to be in a negotiating tone, but they actually meant something very firm.

To be on the safe side, regardless of whether it rains in mid-August, the water in the Shanghe Reservoir must be drained and repaired. After all, no one wants to take on such a huge responsibility.

After seeing Anqing off, when Gu Zhan returned home, it was already past lunch time.

Liu Xiaoxi had already prepared lunch, but after waiting for a long time at home, no one showed up. So he simply stood at the door and waited for a long time before he saw someone from afar.

Under the scorching sun, Gu Zhan saw Liu Xiaoxi standing at the door from a distance.

He quickened his pace and trotted over to Liu Xiaoxi. He reached out and touched her forehead. She was sweaty, but it wasn't serious. "Why don't you wait at home?"

Liu Xiaoxi curled her lips and said, "I waited for you for a long time, but you didn't come back. I got a little worried, so I came out."

Gu Zhan reached out and took Liu Xiaoxi's hand and walked inside, just in time to meet Gu Jun who came in with a straw hat on.

Gu Jun saw Gu Zhan holding Liu Xiaoxi's hand and sneered sarcastically: "Oh, our great lover is pretending to be affectionate again? Isn't it disgusting?"

Gu Zhan gave Gu Jun a cold look, but unexpectedly, it was this look that really touched Gu Jun's sensitive nerves.

He was furious, clenched his fists and walked up to Gu Zhan, glaring at him fiercely: "If you dare to look at me like that again, I'll kill you."

Gu Zhan showed disdain, and Gu Jun became completely furious, raising his fist to hit Gu Zhan.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhan raised his right hand slightly and blocked Gu Zhan's arm in front of him. Gu Jun's strength was blocked, so he stretched out his fist again with all his strength, but unexpectedly, his fist still maintained the same movement as before. His wrist was held in Gu Zhan's hand, motionless.

"Let go of me..."

"Hey, hey, hey, nephew, just let this kid go. He is just being naughty." Gu Mancang quickly came out of the house and ran between the two to mediate.

He was originally standing by the window quietly watching the fun. When he saw his son was about to beat Gu Zhan, he was secretly cheering for Gu Jun in his heart, hoping that he could knock this little bastard down with one punch, so that he would not be disrespectful to his elders and cause trouble again.

Who knew that before he could finish his prayer in his heart, one of his son's hands was already held in Gu Zhan's.

Gu Mancang was extremely angry, but at the same time he was also glad that he had not had a physical conflict with Gu Zhan before yesterday, otherwise, it was hard to say who would have suffered the consequences.

Gu Zhan glanced at Gu Mancang, then shook off Gu Jun's arm and went into the house with Liu Xiaoxi without looking back.

Liu Xiaoxi was so frightened that her heart was trembling. As soon as she entered the door, she pulled Gu Zhan and said incessantly, "Next time we meet, let's not argue with them and just walk away. We won't be living together for long anyway."

"Well, listen to my wife."

"It's just nice to say."

He said before that he would not conflict with those people, but today he almost hit someone. Who would dare to believe his promise?

While eating, Liu Xiaoxi asked Gu Zhan, "What were you doing out for so long?"

So Gu Zhan told Liu Xiaoxi about what happened to An Qing, and then he said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the crops in the fields of several surrounding villages will be saved."

"That's true. The weather is too dry right now. I'm afraid we'll go hungry this year."

Even though Liu Xiaoxi still has more than 500 yuan in her hand, she still feels uneasy, very uneasy, especially when she sees that the condition of the crops in the fields is getting worse day by day, and the memory of lack of food and clothing hits her again.

"Thank goodness, God bless you!"

Gu Zhan chuckled, sighing in his heart: Isn't it God's will? He gave him the opportunity to make up for his regrets and also gave him the opportunity to save the millions of people here.
