829. Apologies and Thanksgiving (part 3/5)
It was getting dark, and the light rain didn't know when it stopped, but the sky was still overcast, and the light had become very bad early on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, a light was raised on the front of the fire brigade.
Unlike ordinary lamps, the light of this lamp is not dazzling, but softer and colder, but it is particularly penetrating, and can illuminate a wide range, like moonlight.
Called the moon lantern, it is a common piece of equipment used by rescue teams, and it is powered by up to 2,000 watts of electricity, and the lantern can illuminate a football field in two months.
Under the light, Marcos was finally caught unharmed.
He was in much better shape than Obradovich and was able to get back up on his own after getting used to the environment.
The nurse wanted to help him on the stretcher, but he refused, turned around and found Li Du, he stretched out his hand and said, "I guessed it was you, Li, you good guy!"
Several miners gathered nearby, and when Marcos said this, they suddenly lifted Li Du together, and then the two big men worked together to carry him on their shoulders.
Marcos turned his head to look around, pointed at Li Du and said, "This Chinese guy saved me and Orb, of course, we were rescued by the rescue team." But at first it was he who commanded everything, he held me and Orb and me, and gave us hope......"
At this time, there were already many miners and mine owners in Randy's mine, and they rushed to come after getting the news, not to see the excitement, but to sincerely want to come and give a hand.
Mining work will inevitably encounter dangers, and working together and helping each other is the king of survival.
They had already heard what Li Du had done before, so when they saw Li Du being lifted, everyone cheered:
"Lee, well done, you are indeed a good fellow!"
"It's like God is here, and no one else can do it better than you!"
"Hopefully I've had the privilege of being friends with you, buddy, you've earned our respect!"
Li Du smiled: "It's just what I should do, no matter who encounters this kind of thing, I believe he will make the same choice as me, and he may do it better than me!"
"Won't be better than you. A firefighter said.
Later, they learned about what Li Du had done, and learned that he had completed the search and rescue work without the help of a machine and successfully delivered milk and oxygen, and they also admired him deeply.
Marcos and Obradovich were hospitalized, and Li Du returned to his mine for a day off, and now it was midnight, and he had to rest well after a tiring day.
When he woke up the next day, he saw the bald miner Holiday squatting in the yard and playing with him.
Ah Ah they looked like they were looking at the pen, and they didn't accept his teasing at all, as soon as Li Du went out, they immediately shook their heads and tails and ran over.
Holiday stood up and said, "Hello, Lee. ”
Li Du asked, "Hello, man, what's wrong?"
Holiday took out an envelope and handed it to him, saying, "This is what Boss Marcos asked me to send you, an invitation, I hope you can join our party." ”
Li Du smiled: "Marcos is still in the hospital, right? Now he is preparing for a party?"
Holiday smiled and replied, "The party is on the weekend, he can be discharged from the hospital today, he is fine, everything is fine after the examination, Obb has to be hospitalized for a few days." ”
Inside the envelope was a bright yellow piece of paper with the time and place of the party written on it, and Li Du was invited to participate.
Li Du put away the envelope and said, "You go back and tell Marcos, I will go." ”
Holiday saluted him, whistled at the four little ones, and when he ignored him, he laughed and scolded 'little' and left the mine.
After the rain, the weather cleared, and finally ushered in good weather again.
Li Du did not rush down to reclaim the mine, and with the lesson of Marcos, he first spent a day reinforcing the mine with wooden and iron frames.
The fire brigade investigated the collapse of Marcos' pit mainly because of the geological problems on their side, which is a karst area.
This kind of geology is a soluble rock layer, which is washed by groundwater to form countless small karst caves, and the roof will collapse or subsidence due to the expansion of its own cave body or under the influence of natural and man-made factors.
Among them, the causes of subsidence are usually related to changes in water levels, such as heavy rainfall or rainfall after a prolonged drought, and infiltration of surface water.
The collapse of the Marcos pit was caused by the impact of heavy rain and the combined force of surface water, and Li Du had to take precautions.
Prepared for this, they went back to the mine to dig up the gems, and pieces of black opal rough were carefully collected and stored in the black hole space of the worm.
At the end of the week, when the veins of these gems were dug up, Li Du took a few people to the Earth Star Bar, where the party was held.
They pushed open the door of the bar in the evening and entered, and some miners had already arrived inside, and when they saw them, these miners suddenly let out a cheer: "Welcome our heroes!"
Someone stretched out his hand to Li Du, and Li Du high-fived and fisted them, and said with a smile: "Am I Captain America?"
"No, it's an Australian miner. ”
"What's that called, Miner or Pickaxe, or Jewel?"
"Give you wine, Lee, whatever you want to drink. ”
A few fat miners pushed through the crowd and walked out, burly and still conspicuous among the notoriously strong miners.
Leading the team was Obradovich, who wore a neck guard around his neck, his left arm hanging from his chest, and his right arm holding a wine bottle, and his image was very rough.
Striding up to Li Du, Obradovich blushed and said, "Li, I apologize to you first, I provoked you here last time." ”
Li Duwaner smiled and said, "Then you also told me the news about Blatche, we are even, you don't have to apologize for this." ”
Obradovich is a stubborn Russian man, and Li Du's words did not make him mind, he said: "No, I have to apologize, I was stupid at the time, stupid. ”
Holiday and the others in the back nodded and said, "Yes, we are all stupid, we all have to apologize to you." ”
Marcos, who came over, said, "Lee, you accept their apologies, these idiots should apologize for the stupid things they have done." ”
Li Du said: "Okay, I accept your apology, we are friends." ”
He raised his glass and said, "Cheers to friendship." ”
A group of miners raised their glasses in unison and shouted, "Cheers to friendship." ”
Obradovich dried a bottle of beer, he took another bottle, and said: "Now I thank you, Boss Li, you saved my life, I must pay tribute to you!"
Marcos also took a bottle of beer and said to Li Du with a smile: "And me, this time it was the two of us who thanked you, you did a great thing, you saved us!"
