"Come out, come out..." A sharp-eyed villager exclaimed, the villagers gathered around the cordon despite the police's obstruction, two search and rescue personnel wearing yellow overalls and hard hats carried a stretcher, on the stretcher lay a person, everyone stared at the stretcher but could not see who the person was, because the person was covered with a head-covered sheet, which was the first dead body carried up.
The crowd could no longer be controlled, and the villagers rushed there, and a bold villager rushed forward with the policeman who had pushed aside the block, and lifted the list covered by the dead body, and the man said, "Ah! With a sound, he quickly retreated, sat down on the ground, turned his head and began to vomit, and some villagers in front of him also let out a terrifying scream when they saw it, and retreated to the back again and again.
This is a corpse with a flattened head, brains and blood flowing everywhere, these simple villagers have seen such a terrifying picture, and no villager is rushing forward this time, whether this person is his relative or not.
A member of the search and rescue team stepped forward and covered the list again, hurriedly put the body aside and went down again in the open space. At this time, only the cry of desolation remained in the crowd.
The second, third, fourth, and fifth・・・・・・ twenty-four miners who had gone down the mine had already carried out twenty-three corpses, and the villagers present were in despair, because their relatives had been cut off from the world and would never be seen again.
The last group of search and rescue teams finally came up, and two search and rescue team members who were already exhausted and collapsed carried a stretcher, and on the stretcher lay a man, who did not have the courage to cover his head.
When the second brother saw the person on the stretcher who came out last, he immediately shouted, "Dad..."
The mother of the cuckoo and the little brother in his arms immediately rushed forward, this person was the father, and the father was not dead. Some villagers followed suit.
The search-rescuers gently lowered the stretcher, and one of the search-rescuers dressed in a rough style and said, "I'm sorry, folks!" We tried our best, and we only rescued this one. ”
The mother cried and knelt in front of the two search and rescue workers, kowtowed to them, and kept saying thank you.
The father was put into the waiting ambulance, the mother handed over the little brother to the cuckoo, and the second brother got into the ambulance and went to the county hospital. The other dead miners were carried onto the corpse trucks of the funeral home that had just arrived.
Du Juan rushed back to the village with her younger brother, her heart was indescribable, she was very happy, glad that her father died nine times, but she also found the strangeness of other fellow villagers, there was no blessing from other fellow villagers along the way, only some strange eyes, as if to say, why are the other miners dead, only your father is not dead, Du Juan thought so at the time.
Regardless of what others think, Cuckoo's heart is now comforted, and his father is alive, which is a great thing. Cuckoo cooked for the little brother, and after the two of them finished eating, the cuckoo put the younger brother to sleep and then returned to her room, she sat in front of the desk that her father had given him, and looked at the thick stack of review books on the desk, she pondered for a long time. Cuckoo took out the admission letter from her desk, tears falling on the letter, she knew that this close college letter was getting farther and farther away from her.
The next day, my mother came back, and I saw that my mother was tired and had not slept all night. Mother didn't come back to rest, she came back to raise money.
Since my father went down to a small coal mine, the workers did not have any security at all, not to mention that the boss had not caught it. The rest of the village's bereaved villagers now have to wait to catch the hateful coal boss and get some well-deserved pensions and some government compensation. But for my father, a survivor, he now needs to be treated.
After my father was admitted to the hospital yesterday, my mother didn't have much money with her. Fortunately, the accompanying township leaders paid part of the medical expenses for his father, and the hospital also appropriately reduced some hospitalization expenses after learning about the situation. But these threads are far from enough for fathers who need both legs amputated.
The father had to have both legs amputated, which was another painful blow to the cuckoo's family. The need for more than 10,000 yuan in treatment costs really made the poor family even worse. The mother found out the only 5,000 yuan in the family. Originally, the 5,000 yuan was going to be used as the living expenses of the cuckoo for one year, plus the salary of the mine for half a year, and the tuition fee of the cuckoo was enough. And now the 5,000 yuan has become my father's life-saving money.
Cuckoo's aunt came with her cousin Montaigne, Montaigne's family opened a commissary in the village, and life was quite passable, so no one in the family went to work in the mine, and after entering the house, the aunt hugged her mother, and the two were in pain, and the honest Montaigne didn't say a word and took out 2,000 yuan and handed it to Cuckoo. Originally, the two thousand yuan was saved by Montaigne to go to school for his cousin, who has always been "beloved". Now Montaigne knew that he had to save his uncle-in-law first.
The second brother and the younger brother followed the aunt to the aunt's house for a few days, and the mother took Du Juan and Montaigne to rush to the hospital with the 7,000 yuan of life-saving money.
Although the treatment fee was not enough, my father's surgery was successfully completed, and both legs were amputated at a high level, and my father's life was saved.
The next day, the father who had been in a coma finally woke up, and in the middle of the night the father felt a sharp pain below, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and he found himself lying on a dimly lit hospital bed, and he saw his daughter sleeping in front of the bed, and on one side of the chair sat a man with his head tilted and snoring.
The father struggled to get up, and he touched the bottom with his hand・・・・・・
The father's exclamation woke up Cuckoo and Montaigne, who had just fallen asleep, and after a while, my mother, who was resting in the next room, rushed over, and it was a kind nurse who helped her find an empty bed so that we could take turns resting for a while.
Knowing that the father who had no legs made this strong man cry in an instant, he was the main labor force in the family, and now that he has become like this, what will this family do in the future, what should his daughter do?
Ten days later, my father was discharged from the hospital, and the rest of the treatment fee was paid in advance by the village, and of course this money needed to be repaid later. The family had no extra money to buy a wheelchair for his father, so Montaigne took a tractor to bring him back, and when he got home, he carried him to bed.
Since his father woke up, he has rarely spoken, and he always seems to deliberately avoid Du Juan's eyes, because he feels so sorry for this filial daughter. This sudden catastrophe has blocked the future of the cuckoo, the father really knows what it means to be powerless, if there is a mine now that needs him to go, he would rather risk dying again, but he has no legs, and he doesn't know how to survive the future life, he can no longer pay for this family, only drag it down, and now the only hope is to catch the coal boss.
On this day, Montaigne came to visit his uncle, and as soon as he entered the house, Cuckoo found that Montaigne had a few bruises on his face, and Cuckoo asked him how he got it, Montaigne didn't make it clear, so he said that he accidentally touched it, but Cuckoo knew that Montaigne was lying, because in the past because of Montaigne's hot temper, he also occasionally got into fights, and every time Cuckoo asked him, he seemed to be a hero and taught Cuckoo a lesson to him.
When Cuckoo sent Montaigne out, he repeatedly asked him how he was injured, and Montaigne had no choice but to tell the story of the fight.
