Chapter 101, Breaking Through
It was raining heavily on this day, and in the new mine, there should not have been an abnormality, and many rats came out of the mine inexplicably, as if fleeing.
Most of the people didn't know what was going on and thought it was a strange thing, but they turned around and walked to the owner's room, and strictly ordered no one to go down the mine.
He told the owner of the mine what happened when he was young: "I was the only one who survived that incident, they were all dead, and you can't play with human life." ”
"Uncle, don't be so superstitious, what's the point of a few rats on a rainy day, you have to be clear, the structure of this mine was designed by the Japanese, do you know the technology of the Japanese? It's steel. The owner was unimpressed and took out a stack of large red bills from the mine and handed it to him.
However, Old Chinese Medicine Hu shook his head: "I won't take this money from you, in my eyes, life is more important than money, it doesn't matter if an old bone like me dies, but they are only twenty to thirty years old, and the oldest is forty years old, they are all other people's sons, husbands, or fathers, how can you bear to watch them die like this?" ”
Hearing this, the owner's face turned cold: "Why are you so unlucky, old guy?" This money is not for you, it is for everyone, just ask for a lottery for them, if you want to go down, you can not go down, but there will always be people who will go down, who will put the money in front of them and not earn it? ”
Seeing that he was so resolute, Hu Lao Chinese Medicine had no choice but to take the money and distribute it to everyone, but he didn't ask for any of it, as the owner said, no one is unwilling to put the money in front of him and not earn, even if he said that there is danger, but there are still people who are willing to take risks, and some people even say that he is unlucky.
So, he led people down the mine, but within a few minutes, it was raining heavily, and although he was cautious, when he was five hundred meters underground, everyone heard a loud cracking sound, and the mine collapsed
After Hu Ping'an quarreled with his father, he called home, and his grandfather told him that he was in the township every day, so as long as he called this relative, he could usually find him, but it was not so convenient in the mountains.
On the phone, Hu Ping'an and his grandfather said a lot of things, even if he was admitted to college in the future, how to honor his old man, although on the phone, grandpa always smiled, but Hu Ping'an could hear that grandpa's tone was wrong, and even occasionally accompanied by a few painful moans, so Hu Ping'an knew that his grandfather's old rheumatism was serious.
When he was a child, when it was a wet season, Hu Ping'an could always hear his grandfather moaning in pain in the middle of the night, but no matter how he asked, his grandfather would always tell him that he was old and his body was not good, but he didn't mention rheumatism at all, and he only knew about rheumatism when he asked his father later.
Although grandpa didn't say it, Hu Ping'an was still very uncomfortable in his heart, because the whole family was making money, just hoping that he would have a future career, at that moment he suddenly thought of Mr. Cang's words, the most concerned about himself in the world is definitely not friends, but relatives around him.
So, Hu Ping'an decided to go back to visit his grandfather on the eve of the college entrance examination, he was not very concerned about the review, because Mr. Cang said that the more nervous, the more you have to relax yourself, if you don't go back to visit your grandfather, maybe he won't feel at ease in the college entrance examination, nothing in this world is more important than relatives, even if it's the college entrance examination.
But he didn't expect that after returning to the county, the shuttle bus to Mawang Township was actually canceled, and he was strange at first, but he thought about canceling it, and it was the same when he walked back.
But when he came to the highway in Mawang Township, he found that he was blocked, Hu Ping'an had not seen a soldier, but he had never seen a militia like this, this is a peasant with a military uniform on his body, not a regular army at all, you must know that when the school opened in No. 1 Middle School, they had been to the barracks of the regular army, and had experienced a drill.
However, he still didn't have the atmosphere to break through to other people's checkpoints, he felt that something was wrong, so he found a mountain road to bypass, this mountain road is rarely walked, he remembers that when he was a child, he and his father came to the county town to save money, so he often took this road.
At that time, my father was not as serious as I am now, and every time I saw the two of them arguing without finishing three sentences, my father would always put him on his shoulders and go all the way to the county seat.
On the mountain road, he was worried and nostalgic, thinking about whether he should communicate with his father in a different way, whether he should go back to the past, even if he always said that he was unproductive, even if he always scolded himself.
Thinking about it, he was not far from Mawang Township, and after crossing that hill, there was Mawang Township at the bottom of the mountain.
However, when he climbed the mountain tired and panting, his face changed greatly, because it was raining heavily, perhaps the sound of the rain drowned out the sound, and he could not hear anything at all on the other side of the mountain, but standing on the mountain, he could hear the miserable cry.
Mawang Township is in a valley, when you go to the mountain, you can hear a cry under Mawang Mountain, at first he thought it was a dead person, invited a professional to cry, but he went down and found that something was wrong, the people in the township were gloomy, and people wearing police uniforms and military uniforms were patrolling everywhere.
The door of the township government was crowded with people, the sound of discussion, scolding, crying and rain became one, Hu Ping'an found someone to ask, only to know that there was a mining disaster, he thought to himself where there are mines in Mawang Township, there are also those small coal kilns in the open air, basically there will be no danger, he remembers that he came to Mawang Township as a teenager to go to middle school, and also went to the coal kiln to do things, carrying a basket of coal out of a dime, a dozen trips back and forth every day, you can earn more than a dollar, at that time, a dollar for him, is already a lot, You can buy at least five or six copper plates and go to the game hall in the village to play the joystick for a morning.
Hu Ping'an's first reaction after knowing the mining disaster was not worry, because his grandfather told him that he had rented a small shop in the township to practice medicine, but when he arrived at the relative's house, his mind was like thunder, because the relative told him that his grandfather worked in that mine, and more than 100 other people were pressed underneath.
"Did you get it, did you get it?" Hu Ping'an panicked at the time, but he thought that so many policemen and militia outside should be rescued quickly, he prayed to the gods and Buddhas, hoping that grandpa would not have an accident, but when he thought of his grandfather's age, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"What to save, didn't you see that there was a commotion at the door of the township government?" Relatives cried and mourned, "Now I can't even make a phone call, those leaders went to see it, and said that they were all dead, and said that all the family members were waiting at home, and the government would issue resettlement fees, which was really unconscionable. ”
"What about corpses? What about corpses? Although Hu Ping'an didn't want to see his grandfather's body, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's raining so hard that you can't dig it out at all, and no one dares to go in and dig it, for fear of collapsing twice, and besides, the people of the township government said, who dares to spread the word about it, and you won't get a penny afterwards, and now everyone is making trouble, and there have been many conflicts with the people of the township government, didn't you see the blood at the door of the township government when you came back?" The relative's tone was angry and low.
Hu Ping'an was stunned, and excitedly picked up the phone of his relative's house, but as soon as he dialed two numbers, he heard a busy tone, and remembered that his relative said that the phone was also cut off. Who can you call yourself?
For a while, he suddenly felt sad, thinking that his grandfather went to work in the mine without telling his family, his nose was sore, and he couldn't help crying, he inquired about the location of the mine, and quickly rushed over, he thought that he had to dig out his grandfather with both hands, but he was blocked by people in military uniforms and police uniforms before he arrived at the mine, and after a tasteless struggle, he was handcuffed and hung under the stairs of the township government. There was a look of despair on their faces
Canglong drove from Dongning City to Longyang County, this is not the first time he has come here, after getting off the highway, he drove directly to the mountain road to Mawang Township, for Kai Baihe, the rugged mountain road is where it comes in.
But as soon as he drove a few hundred meters, he found the checkpoint in front of him, but he still didn't hesitate and drove straight over, but he found that many passing vehicles had chosen to turn around, and only to find out when he got closer was that it was a checkpoint set up by the police and militiamen in military uniforms.
Before he got out of the car, two militiamen in military uniforms came over and told him that the road ahead had collapsed, construction was underway, and he couldn't go over.
Of course Canglong doesn't believe in this reason, it's good that the traffic police maintain order when the road collapses, what are the militia doing? Coupled with what happened in Jiangkou Township last time, Canglong was even more unconvinced, so he asked: "What road collapsed and you militia are needed to maintain order?" It seems that this is a matter of the transportation department. ”
The words militia and traffic department Canglong bit very tightly, which made the two militiamen stunned and suddenly a little nervous, but one of them said angrily: "What's the matter with you, you can't leave today anyway." ”
"When can you go?" Canglong asked patiently.
"In a month."
"What road needs to be repaired for a month?" Canglong asked.
"You're looking for trouble, aren't you? Hurry up and turn around and fuck off, if I don't let you go for a fucking year, you can't go, you know? Another militiaman shouted angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll go." Canglong said, turning the car around.
The two militiamen breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Canglong turn around and drive dozens of meters before they went back with confidence, but they just turned around for a few seconds, only to hear a grinding sound behind them, followed by the acceleration of slamming on the accelerator, and when they turned around, they saw that Canglong's car was only a few dozen meters away from them.
Both of them froze, and one of them was about to stop them, but the car didn't slow down at all, and rushed straight towards them, if it wasn't for a sharp jump, it was estimated that they would have been hit, but this jump jumped into the ravine.
Both the police and the militia in front were stunned by this scene, but they didn't have guns in their hands, and when they saw Kai Baihe rushing over, they just waved and scolded one by one, but they didn't dare to stop them, and watched Kai Baihe rush through the checkpoint and walked away, and when they reacted to chase him, they found that Kai Baihe had disappeared.
"Damn, where did you come from, drive so fast on this mountain road, don't die!" At the same time, they were also shocked by Canglong's speed, and they broke out in a cold sweat
