When Liang Jian and the others passed, Zhang Qisheng was sitting under a makeshift military tent, sitting in a folding chair, sleeping with his head tilted. When Liang Jian entered, someone immediately woke him up.

Zhang Qisheng rubbed his eyes and woke up, but before he saw Liang Jian, he asked, "What's the matter?"

The person who woke him up said softly: "Secretary Liang is here!"

Zhang Qisheng turned his head in a haze and saw Liang Jian, and immediately sobered up. Hurriedly stood up, greeted him, and asked, "Secretary Liang, why are you here?" Doesn't it mean that the water in the city is very deep and most places are still impassable?"

Liang Jian didn't answer his question, but asked, "How is the situation now?"

Zhang Qisheng shook his head: "Almost more than half of the entire mine has collapsed. The rescue team has been rescued until now, and they have barely opened up a third of the place, and so far, they have not been able to communicate with the people besieged inside. Just worry a little now. ”

When Liang Jian heard this, he asked, "What?"

"The air inside has not been circulated for a long time, and when the flammable gas in the air exceeds a certain concentration, it is very easy to cause an explosion!" Zhang Qisheng said in a deep voice.

Liang Jian didn't even have a wry smile, he looked at Zhang Qisheng and asked, "Is there a list of besieged personnel?"

Zhang Qisheng's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he stopped talking. Liang Jian knew what he was thinking, and said directly: "I have met Comrade Dongfang. ”

One sentence says it all.

Zhang Qisheng's face turned white, and then he turned around and asked the young man who had just woken him up to take a piece of paper from the table next to him.

"This is a person who has been registered, but the family members who have been here just now said that it is estimated that there will be three more people on it. Zhang Qisheng lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liang Jian.

Liang Jian didn't say anything, and calmly memorized the names on the paper one by one. Since he entered the officialdom, he has experienced two major accidents, one is the collapse of the Liangzhou building when he was in Jiangzhong Province before, and there was also a heavy rain at that time. Many people died that time. Another time, this time, a heavy rain took away so many lives and destroyed one family after another. And in the final analysis, the cause of this accident can be said to be on him. It was his negligence that led to the reopening of these mines, and then he did not strictly supervise these reopened mines due to some personal emotions, which eventually led to the tragedy that is today.

Liang Jian felt guilty and resentful in his heart, and these emotions weighed heavily on his heart, like dark clouds in the sky overhead, making him breathless.

Liang Jian took a deep breath, and after barely calming down, he looked away from the list and asked Zhang Qisheng, "What about the families of these victims?"

Zhang Qisheng replied: "Let me persuade you to go back." The place is not safe, and there was only a small landslide around six o'clock this morning, about a few hundred meters away. I don't dare to let so many people stay here, if something happens again, then I really can't redeem myself!"

Liang Jian looked at the sky outside and said, "On this day, it may rain again." Rescue efforts must be carried out as soon as possible. If it rains again, there is a high risk of a second accident here. ”

"But there is not enough manpower!" Zhang Qisheng said.

Liang Jian was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is the person in charge of the rescue?"

Zhang Qisheng immediately asked the secretary standing next to him to call someone. After a long while, a man covered in mud and wearing a steel helmet came over and stood in front of Liang Jian.

"Secretary Liang, hello, I'm Ren Gang!"

Liang Jian nodded and said, "Hello." How long will it take to get the people inside!"

Ren Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the current progress, if there is no accident, the rescue work can probably be completed before dark today!"

Liang Jian frowned, paused and asked, "Is there a way to be faster?" ”

"Unless we increase our staff. Ren Gang replied.

Now the situation in the whole city is basically half a catty and eight taels of the situation, all units are operating at full strength, and now want to transfer manpower over, firstly, the time is definitely not so fast, and secondly, it may not be able to draw out manpower. Moreover, this rescue work is not for anyone to participate in, especially for this kind of landslide, which is very dangerous if you do not receive professional rescue training. Not only is it dangerous to yourself, but it is also likely that others will be in danger.

Liang Jian frowned, thought for a long time, and asked Ren Gang: "Now the situation in the whole city is not very good, and there is no way for professionals to be transferred in a short period of time, you see, can you do this, hand over some work that does not require any professional skills to others to do, and you can specialize in those more important and critical work?"

Ren Gang thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, yes." But even so, I don't think there's anyone there, right?"

Liang Jian turned his head and asked Zhang Qisheng: "You go and contact the nearby village to see if they can support some people to come over." Whoever comes to help is paid according to the price of market labor. ”

Zhang Qisheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liang Jian: "What are you doing in a daze, when this person's life is at stake, don't you go quickly!"

Zhang Qisheng had no choice but to swallow his words back and walk aside to contact. However, the connection went well. This may have something to do with the fact that the people who were crushed in the mine were all strong laborers from nearby villages. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Qisheng said it on the phone, the village cadres on the other side immediately agreed.

It didn't take long for a vote of people to come, no less than thirty or forty, and at least half of them were women. Liang Jian saw that the woman was also inside, and the captain of the rescue team also said that there were not so many people, and the large number of people would easily affect their rescue work. So, Liang Jian wanted Zhang Qisheng to persuade these women to go back, but these women were basically the family members of the men trapped in the mine, so they refused to leave anything, if you wanted to drive her, she would sit on the ground, and no matter what means you used, she just wouldn't move. In desperation, Liang Jian had no choice but to ask Zhang Qisheng to lead people to arrange these women in one place, at least not to affect the rescue work of the rescue team.

And those men, under the arrangement and command of the leader of the rescue team, immediately revealed their work. Although there is not much that these people can do, in the end they have accelerated some progress. By noon, the rescue work, which had been silent, finally had a different response. Someone rushed over to deliver a message to Liang Jian: "It's through! It's through! Someone is still alive!"

Liang Jian was so excited that he got up from the chair, pulled his legs and followed the man outside, and at some point, it rained again. It's small, but it's still nerve-wracking!

Liang Jian walked to the entrance of the mine and was stopped.

"Secretary Liang, it's too dangerous down there, you better wait up there. ”

Liang Jian didn't want to go down to increase the burden on the rescuers, so he waited on it. After waiting for about forty minutes, Liang Jian was almost anxious when there was a commotion below, and then a bloated figure slowly climbed up from below. A small rescuer appeared with difficulty on his back with a man whose face was unclear and red and black. Liang Jian and the person guarding next to him hurriedly reached out to pick up the person on his back.

The man on his back had fallen into a deep coma. As soon as Liang Jian and the others put the person on the stretcher, a group of people rushed over, trying to identify who this person was. After a while, a woman burst into tears.

Liang Jian watched her cry while following the stretcher, helpless but frightened, and he looked at those who dispersed in disappointment, standing weakly in the rain, at a loss, and felt indescribably uncomfortable and depressed.

Suddenly, someone stood next to him at some point and cautiously asked, "Are you the leader?"

Liang Jian looked at her. Under an old raincoat, wrapped in a woman who was not tall and lean. The woman stood in the muddy water about a meter away from Liang Jian, her posture restrained.

Liang Jian thought that she should be the family of the victim, so he felt pity and asked her softly: "This eldest sister, is there anything wrong with you?"

The woman said, "You are a big leader, right? I just heard someone over there call you Secretary Liang? Are you the secretary of the municipal party committee?"

Liang Jian nodded: "I am." Eldest sister, you have said something!"

The woman swallowed her saliva, and tears suddenly poured out, and on her face that was only frosty, everyone was slammed! Suddenly, the woman knelt on the ground with a pop, and the strength hurt Liang Jian when he looked at it, and there was not any soft soil below, but large and small gravels. Liang Jian hurriedly reached out to help her, but the woman refused to get up. Liang Jian had no choice but to squat down and persuade her: "If you have something, you can speak, you say that you kneel like this, how can I bear it? Isn't this a sacrifice for my life?"

The woman was a little panicked when she heard this, but she refused to get up, and said with a crying voice: "If you promise to call the shots for us and seek justice for us, I will stand up!"

Liang Jian nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you are reasonable, I will definitely call the shots for you and get justice back!"

"What do you mean?" the woman still couldn't believe it. Liang Jian nodded vigorously: "Words count!"

Only then was the woman willing to stand up, but when she knelt down, she injured her knee and couldn't stand up straight, so Liang Jian hurriedly asked Shen Lianqing to help her and walk into the tent.

After sitting down, Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing to make her a cup of hot water, checked her knee again, and made sure that there was no major problem, then he said: "Eldest sister, what grievances do you have, you can talk about it now!"

Before the woman could say anything, she began to wipe her tears again. Liang Jian was anxious, but he could only be patient, handing her tissues while waiting patiently. After a long time, she got better, and finally told the story intermittently.

It turned out that although this heavy rain was fierce, there were many large and small mines in Taihe City, but only this mine collapsed, and there was a reason for this.

A month earlier, there had been a minor accident at the mine, when only two absentees suffered minor injuries, one with a broken skin and one with a slight broken arm. The mine boss calmed down and lost some money, so everyone just settled.
