Chapter 13 Gas Leaks

The newspaper that Yu Deyu got back, Kang Miyuan also read it carefully, except for the paper that seems to be slightly different, the others are not strange, but what makes him a little unaware is that the news on the front page of this city daily newspaper seems to be different from others, he has been a cadre for a long time, so he has developed a habit of reading books and newspapers, one is to understand the major national affairs, so as not to be criticized by the leaders when he goes to report to the top, and the other is the son of the village head, in fact, there is nothing big to do, and the right to read the newspaper should be used as a pastime to pass the time. With this habit, there are naturally a lot of newspapers to read every day, but only this city daily newspaper is talking about the news of the gas leak and explosion, it stands to reason that the death of these 180 people is already a great thing, but why everyone doesn't report it, which makes Kang Miyuan very puzzled.

Also puzzled by a group of people working at the construction site in Confucius Village, although the place of Confucius Village is also close to the sea, but the young people are yearning for the life of this big city, they have been fishing for generations, in addition to the strength and nothing else, although they want to get ahead, but there is no ability to go back, into the city and embarrassed to go back, simply everyone get together, go to the construction site to contract some small projects to live, the bitter is bitter, but the money is also a lot, this day the world works hard, life is inevitably boring, the small newspaper kiosk next to the construction site has become a place where everyone loves to go, you buy a story meeting, I buy a bosom friend, exchange with each other to read, it is a relief from boredom, newspapers, They didn't look at it much, a dollar is a little fake, no one wants to spend this unjust money, this habit of reading the newspaper is still raised by Ma Chengkong, who came not long ago.

"Look, look, the gas exploded, this is worth it! More than 100 people died, everyone has to be careful, don't dig up the pipes and blow them up alive!"

"Why do you have this newspaper, but I don't have it?" The person who spoke was called Li Guangtou, after Ma Chengkong came, he did a lot of things with this newspaper, and from time to time he could always find some scattered work from the newspaper and go out to earn some extra money when he was not busy, seeing that the money increased, everyone was envious, so Li Guangtou also learned to buy newspapers, but he often read the Beihai Evening News, unlike the city daily, which is full of useless celebrity gossip, not to mention that he can't make money, and he has to lose money.

"What do you know, this is called harmony, so many people have died, this mayor secretary or something has to lose Wusha, it must have been sent a long time ago, and it was not allowed to be published, and the reporter or something wanted to eat and still had to be obedient? That is, this city daily, some backbone, without them to say this, where would everyone know that there is this risk, not to mention anything else, I will have to call my old lady later, our family, there is really a small gas station, every once in a while there is something wrong, the smell of gas on the street, choking to death, everyone does not do anything on weekdays, smoking smoking, cooking cooking, if something really happens, then pay it back, a spark will explode!"

"Didn't we have a gas pipeline? When the construction started a few years ago, I went to help. Ma Chengkong said this, and the kid named Zhang Fusheng who was squatting next to him couldn't sit still, and said to Li Guangtou with some worry, they all came from Fuzi Village, and they didn't take the news seriously at first, after all, it was not at their own doorstep, but as soon as Ma Chengkong said this, he suddenly remembered that although there was no gas station in his village, there was really a pipe, and a thin pipe didn't look very strong.

"I said it smells wrong, can't it be a leak!" Li Guangtou patted his head, and shouted at a few villagers in a panic: "When you went home a few days ago, did you smell it?"

"Oh yes! I thought the gas tank valve was loose!"

"I said that this gas pipeline can't pass through our village, but you don't listen!"

"Hurry up and call and let the village see!"

Li Guangtou is in a hurry, everyone is panicked, they don't have to rely on this small project every day, and everyone is not a cow or horse, how can they work every day, they can always rest for half a day a week, those who have a family are going home to see their daughters-in-law and children, a few days ago, when everyone went back, they smelled a choking smell, but no one thought about it, only that they didn't carefully forget to turn off the gas, a gust of wind blew over, and the smell was dispersed.

Answering the call of his own man, several women hurriedly ran to the village chief Wang Zhengxi to report the news, Wang Zhengxi also had a city daily newspaper on the table, that was when he went to the city to meet the leader met a child who sold newspapers, hugged his thighs with a handful of snot and tears, begged him for a long time to let him buy it, he naturally read the news, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart, there are many natural and man-made disasters, where does he have the kung fu to meddle in things, waiting for these women to finish speaking, he just smiled and said: " The pipeline has only been repaired for a few years, and if anything can happen, it's all dispersed, I'll just check it. ”

Wang Zhengxi didn't take it seriously in his heart, so naturally he didn't check it much, but he just took a trip when he went out, took a few breaths, and felt that there was nothing leaking, except for the smell of the sea in the air, there was not even a gas slag. But the news still spread, first a fish seller in the village came back and said that when two customers bought fish, they said that the explosion, earth-shattering, hundreds of people died, and then a relative's way to meet two passengers, chatting about this is also the matter, the most thrilling of which is that a courier said, saying that he picked up a piece, to deliver to people, only to go downstairs, I saw a group of people running out, saying that the gas pipeline leaked, it was not good to explode, the police fire or something, a few dozen numbers, really terrifying。

The ancients said that three people become tigers, and everyone is golden, and what they say is a terrible rumor, everything is said more, everyone will naturally believe it, even if there are some doubts, they will be on guard in their hearts, take Wang Zhengxi as an example, he himself thinks that everyone is worried, but his wife doesn't think so, and he just got up again at night, saying that he was going to see if the gas valve was closed, and he couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart where is such bad luck in our master's village to have such a big event.

However, just when everyone was about to forget about it, two people in blue cloth uniforms came to Confucius Village.

"What are you doing?" The two men drove a small bread with the words Beihai Gas Pipeline Co., Ltd. written on it, but they had not yet entered the village, but they were stopped by two people squatting on the side of the road playing chess.

"Natural gas company, come and see this pipeline, it says there seems to be a gas leak here. The driver with glasses took out two work permits, with his name and unit written on them, and the two standing guards took it and saw that it was really from Beihai Natural Gas Pipeline Co., Ltd., one was named Zhang Dali, and the other was Bai Tiantian.

"Wait, I'll ask the leader. "The gangster standing guard took his work permit, and walked to a small house on the side of the road, there have been a lot of sayings in the village of Master these days, all saying that the gas pipeline that passes through the village is really dangerous, he naturally has heard a few words, although he doesn't know who called it, but it can't be so easy to put in, you have to ask the fat director in charge.

"Come in. After a while, the gangster came out, waved his hand and asked them to drive to the village, but then the two strong men behind him opened the door of the van and sat in, Zhang Dali, who was driving, frowned and was about to ask a question, when he heard a strong man say in a rough voice: "We have lost a lot of things in this village recently, and outsiders have to be careful when they come in." ”

"Hehe, it should be. Bai naturally glanced at Zhang Dali, and both of them smiled and nodded in response.

When they drove to the vicinity of the pipeline, the four people got out of the car, Zhang Dali and Bai naturally took out two things from the back of the car, pretended to walk along the pipeline, and the two strong men behind them did not leave an inch, this walk was half an hour, from the east of the village to the west of the village, seeing that the two people were endless, the two strong men were impatient, and they came up and asked: "See what is wrong, if not, hurry up, we have to go back to play cards!"

"It shouldn't be fine. Zhang Dali took out a pack of cigarettes with a smile, and was about to send them to the two strong men, when Bai naturally suddenly grabbed him, pointed to the shaking pointer of the thing in his hand and shouted: "There is a leak, there is a leak!"

"I didn't hear it. The strong man walking in front sniffed, and as soon as he said a word, a choking smell of rotten eggs suddenly drifted down the wind, so frightened that he even took a few steps back, his face was a little pale, but he didn't notice that the smell of rotten eggs was wafting from Bai Mu, who was standing not far away.

"It's not a big deal. Zhang Dali took a few steps forward, shook the instrument in his hand, smiled lightly, and said: "It's just a small crack, nothing big happens, let's take someone to change the tube tomorrow." ”

"What are you waiting for tomorrow, let's get it done today!" "The place in Fuzi Village is not big or small, but everyone can see that outsiders are coming, and the words "natural gas pipeline company" are written on the van.

"The number of people can't be lined up, and it has to be tomorrow at the earliest, so let's wrap it for you, anyway, it's the size of a hair, it's not in the way, you can come how you want, you have to tell everyone, don't light a fire here, if you light a fire, it will be amazing, a few days ago there was a bomb in the city, and a hundred and ten people died!" Zhang Dali pretended to be frightened, turned around and took out some tools from the car, and after a while, he dug out the pipe, tied it up with tape in a decent manner, and took out a sign and stood on the ground, with eight big characters written on it: "Gas leakage, be careful of fireworks." ”
