Chapter 108, there are no ifs in life
() When Canglong and Ma Xiangchang appeared at the site of the mine disaster again, they were welcomed by all the villagers, although they had not slept well for a long time, but their tired faces were smiling, and the rescue team who came from the bottom of their hearts did not know why these indifferent villagers around them were so excited to see these two people in such an inappropriate situation, but they saw the villagers laughing
So they felt that the laughter of the villagers was taken for granted at the time of crisis, and they couldn't even find any reason to take it for granted, but it was Deputy County Magistrate Wu who came to arrest Canglong with people loaded with guns, making them feel that it was so inappropriate
However, Secretary Yu's obstruction made Deputy County Magistrate Wu retreat with people in a gloomy manner, and after a few minutes of tension, they resumed the rescue that had been twenty-four hours long, no one really had a good night's sleep, the heavy rain fell all day and all night, and no one seemed to think that the rain would really stop
The weather forecast is like menstrual irregularities, always not so accurate, the villagers say that this is a test of God, they are also studying the people in the mines, although this superstitious statement really does not make the rescue team believe, but now it has become everyone's hope, hope is a test of will, hope that the people under the mine are still alive, everyone's nerves are like a straightened rope, at any time because of the limit and break, everyone is persistent, persevering, doing their last strength, and then being replaced, after a little rest and replenishment, and then rushed to the scene
Secretary Yu braved the rain to watch this scene, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the arrival of the township chief Ma made the villagers very excited, and the commander-in-chief of the rescue was surprised why this township chief was so popular with the people
Canglong stood beside Secretary Yu, and also didn't break up, the rain wet their clothes, so that Canglong's body was already covered in mud, and his body was much cleaner, but he didn't care, fortunately, Secretary Yu finally came, it was so untimely, but it was also so timely
Under the signal tower, Canglong once appeared a little unbearable look, just like the helpless expressions on the faces of these villagers, it was despair, and he suddenly found that ordinary people are actually not happier than them, because sometimes some difficulties will make people desperate, and some people will also make people desperate
At least Canglong can resist, because he still has the ability, but what can ordinary people do to resist
"Your behavior is extremely bad, although you are also forced to do it, but it is no different from rebellion, inciting villagers to riot, you really did it, threatening zhèng fǔ officials to injure jǐng, these crimes are enough to betray you, life imprisonment or even shooting," Secretary Yu said without squinting as he looked at the people rescued in the rain
"That's not a riot, it's not a rebellion, it's a rebellion," Canglong looked at Secretary Yu and smiled, "Resist violence and oppression, there is a folk proverb in Scotland, rise up and resist, rise up and resist until the lamb becomes a lion, I like this sentence very much, because even if it is a lamb, there is a day when it becomes a lion, and people are the same."
Hearing this, Secretary Yu was silent for a while, and suddenly turned his head to look at him and said, "But it's different in this country."
"It's not the same," Canglong insisted, "it's the same everywhere, and your government is also obtained in this way, because people were oppressed, so the ancestors rebelled and rebelled, and then created now, if they created the original tyranny, then it seems that all people can do is resist until the lamb becomes a lion."
Secretary Yu suddenly woke up and thought of the bloodstains in front of the township, although these villagers did not have much ability, but they had courage, and their courage came from the fact that their relatives were trapped under the mine, and zhèng fǔ actually turned a blind eye to the blockade news, which made them chill and made them courageous
This proverb is largely indicative of what people are most likely to do when they are in trouble, no matter how great the leader, they were once like lambs, until they rose up and fought against fate, against injustice, and from then on they became powerful and became lions
"Although I used to despair, but you gave me hope, and you gave them hope, and it is because of this that they don't seem to need to resist," Canglong said again, "But you are not the savior, and neither are we, we can't expect someone's integrity to drive the integrity of the majority, but the integrity of the majority to influence the corruption of the minority, right, and if this kind of thing happens a few more times, how lucky you will be?"
"Yes, it will take a long time to do this, China is still a developing country, so there will be a lot of problems in this country, but as long as the masses have faith in us, we believe we can do better," Secretary Yu said suddenly
Canglong does not deny this, because it takes time for any country to move from barbarism to light, from darkness to light, just like China, which used to be closed and self-contained, and now it is open to the Ming Dynasty, although there are many problems, but life has indeed become better than before
"I hope it's you and not you," Canglong said suddenly
"Yes, there must be a lot of people working together to speed up this process, history will prove this, starting from here, starting with us," Secretary Yu said calmly, although she didn't know how far the future was, maybe she wouldn't see it for the rest of her life
Although this light is only the light of the majority, there are still a few people in the barbarism, although this light is still the light of the majority, and the minority is still in the dark, but as long as it is not reversed, it is fortunate that all the people in the fantasy The light seems to only appear in fantasy, no matter where you live, there is always darkness, but the degree of darkness is different
Just like this mining disaster, Canglong can't change anything, but Secretary Yu has changed a lot, so Secretary Yu is the serious light of the villagers, not Canglong, although in the eyes of the villagers, it is actually Canglong
If Secretary Yu doesn't come, or if Secretary Yu is like Mayor Yang, I'm afraid it will be really desperate
"I'm very strange, you didn't have many complaints, in other words, you were afraid that you would sneer when you saw me, and finally compete," Secretary Yu said strangely
Canglong shrugged his shoulders and looked at the rescue: "If cynicism can save the people below, maybe I can't save it."
"Yes, we can't save us, we can only fight with heaven and people, and we can fight with ourselves," Secretary Yu suddenly said a meaningful sentence
Seven days and seven nights of rescue so that the villagers finally saw a glimmer of hope, they finally dug through the mine, although the situation inside is a little bad, but the rescuers still did not hesitate to go down, on the eighth day the first person was rescued, there is still a breath left, which brings hope to people
But more have died, when they saw their relatives being carried out, countless sleepless family members finally lost their voices and cried bitterly in the heavy rain, in the unbearable eyes of everyone, in the tiredness of the cry and the sound of the rain intertwined, most of the family members guarded the door of the mine, every time a person was carried out, their hearts couldn't help but grunt and beat at a very fast speed, seeing the living life, they also cried bitterly, no one knew why they were crying
Canglong and Secretary Yu were also guarding the entrance of the mine, the ambulance and the doctor were all waiting outside, no one blocked the exit of the mine, the villagers took the initiative to give way to a road, they were waiting for their relatives, and Canglong was waiting for the old Chinese medicine doctor**An nervously watched a person being carried out, but none of them were his grandfather
Two hours later, there is still no news, and there are still five or six people buried underneath the mine's list, and the risk of a second collapse has worried the faces of rescuers
**Ann saw that they hesitated, and finally couldn't help but rush in, but was blocked by Canglong, he scratched Canglong like crazy, trying to break free, but Canglong didn't let go, I don't know how long it took, the rescuers finally couldn't help but get into the mine again, no one forced them, just they volunteered
**Ann calmed down, and he suddenly asked Canglong: "Teacher, why did disaster befall me, why did God treat me so unfairly, why did such a good person as my grandfather actually get trapped below"
Canglong didn't rush to answer his question, just looked at the sky, I don't know how long it took, he raised his head and said: "Disaster is not just on the head of a certain person, everyone will have a disaster in their life, this is life"
"Is it always like this?" asked Ann with a blank face
"Always," Canglong replied affirmatively
When Hu Lao and the remaining six people were rescued, two rescuers were knocked unconscious by stones due to the collapse of the mine, fortunately, the injuries were not serious, but five of the six people had stopped beating heartbeat, and only one person was alive, and this one was the youngest one, only 18 years old
Old Chinese Medicine Hu left, his face was still so peaceful, **An didn't cry, just looked at his grandfather's corpse and was silent
No one wants to face such a scene, but people will always leave, it's just a matter of time, just like Canglong firmly said that life is always like this, even if you don't want to
Only 20 of the 112 people trapped in the past nine days survived, and the other 92 people died in this mining disaster, which refreshed the death toll of the mining disaster in Jiangnan Province, and it is also the largest mining disaster in Jiangnan Province in recent years
After the rescue, Secretary Yu ordered a special person to conduct an investigation, and found that if they dug the mine early, even if it was five hours, the death toll would be reduced by half, if they dug through the mine one day earlier, the death toll would be reduced to the lowest, and if they dug two days earlier, maybe no one would die because of this mining disaster
But there are no ifs in life
Deputy County Magistrate Wu shouted that it was a miracle after learning that there were still living people being carried out, but his face began to worry again: with so many living people and so many dead people, how much money would the county have to pay
