When Canglong and Ma Xiangchang appeared at the mine disaster site again, they were welcomed by all the villagers, although they had not slept well for a long time, their tired faces were full of smiles, from the bottom of their hearts, the rescue team who rushed to the rescue team did not know why these indifferent villagers around them saw these two people, they would be so excited in this inappropriate situation, but they saw the villagers laughing.

So, they felt that in times of crisis, the villagers' laughter was taken for granted, and they couldn't even find any reason to take it for granted, but it was Deputy County Magistrate Wu who came to arrest Canglong with people loaded with guns, which made them feel that it was so out of time.

However, Secretary Yu's obstruction, so that Deputy County Magistrate Wu retreated with people in a gloomy manner, after a few minutes of tension, they resumed the rescue that had been up to 24 hours, no one really had a good night's sleep with peace of mind, the heavy rain fell all day and all night, no one seemed to think that the rain would really stop.

The weather forecast is like menstrual irregularities, always not so accurate, the villagers say, this is God is testing them, but also in the examination of the people under the mine, although this superstitious statement really does not let the rescue team believe, but now it has become the hope of everyone, hope is to test the will, hope that the people under the mine are still alive, everyone's nerves are like a straightened rope, at any time because of the limit and break, everyone is persistent, insist on the last strength, Then he was replaced for a short rest and replenishment, and then rushed to the scene.

Secretary Yu braved the rain to watch this scene, not knowing what he was thinking, the arrival of Township Chief Ma made the villagers very excited, and the commander-in-chief of the rescue was surprised why this township chief was so popular with the people.

Canglong stood beside Secretary Yu, and he didn't break up either, the rain wet their clothes, making Canglong's originally muddy body much cleaner. But he didn't care, fortunately, Secretary Yu finally came, it was so untimely but so timely.

Under the signal tower, Canglong once appeared a little unbearable look, just like the helpless expressions on the faces of these villagers, it was despair, never had a despair, and suddenly he found that ordinary people are actually not happier than them, because sometimes, some difficulties will make people desperate, and some people will also make people desperate.

At least Canglong can resist, because he still has the ability, but what can ordinary people do to resist?

"Your behavior is extremely bad, although you are also forced to do it, but it is no different from rebellion, inciting the villagers, you really did it, threatening government officials, injuring policemen, these crimes are enough to betray you to life imprisonment, or even shooting." Secretary Yu looked at the people rescued in the rain and said without squinting.

"That's not **, it's not a rebellion, it's a rebellion." Canglong looked at Secretary Yu and said with a smile, "Resist violence and oppression, there is a folk proverb in Scotland, rise up and resist, fight up, until the lamb becomes a lion." I like this quote very much, because even a lamb will become a lion one day, and so is man. ”

Hearing this, Secretary Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said, "But it's different in this country." ”

"No, it's the same." Canglong insisted, "It's the same everywhere, and your government is also obtained in this way, because people are oppressed, so the ancestors rebelled, and after the rebellion, they created the present, if they still created the original tyranny, then it seems that all people can do is to resist, until the lamb becomes a lion." ”

Secretary Yu suddenly woke up, thinking of the bloodstains in front of the township government, although these villagers do not have much ability, but they have courage, and their courage comes from the fact that their relatives are trapped under the mine, and the government actually ignores the blockade news, which makes them chill and make them full of courage.

This proverb is very much indicative of the situation that is most likely to occur when people are in trouble, no matter how great the leader, they were once like lambs, until they rose up and fought against fate, against injustice, and from then on they became strong and became lions.

"Although I was desperate, you gave me hope, and you gave them hope, and it is because of this that they don't seem to need to resist." Canglong said again, "But you are not the savior, and neither am I, we can't expect the integrity of one person to drive the integrity of the majority, but the integrity of the majority, to influence the corruption of the minority, are you right?" Moreover, if this happens a few more times, how lucky you will be. ”

"Yes, but it will take a long time to do this, China is still a developing country, so there will be a lot of problems in this country, but as long as the masses have faith in us, we believe we can do better." Secretary Yu said suddenly.

Canglong does not deny this, because it takes time for any country to move from barbarism to civilization, from darkness to light, just like China, which used to be closed to self-containment, to the current open civilization, although there are many problems, but life has indeed become better than before.

"Hopefully it's you, not you." Canglong said suddenly.

"Yes, there must be a lot of people working together to speed up this process, and history will prove it, starting here, starting with us." Secretary Yu said calmly, although she didn't know how far the future was, maybe she wouldn't see it for the rest of her life.

Although this civilization is only the civilization of the majority, there are still a few people in the barbarism, although this light is still the light of the majority, and the minority is still in the dark, but as long as it is not the other way around, it is already fortunate that all the people in the fantasy are bright, it seems that they can only appear in the fantasy, no matter where they live, there is always darkness, but the degree of darkness is different.

Just like this mining disaster, Canglong can't change anything, but Secretary Yu has changed a lot, so Secretary Yu is the serious light of the villagers, not Canglong, although in the eyes of the villagers is actually Canglong.

If Secretary Yu doesn't come, or if Secretary Yu is like Mayor Yang, I'm afraid it's really desperate.

"It's strange that you don't have many complaints, if it were before, you were afraid that you would sneer at me when you saw me, and finally compete." Secretary Yu said strangely.

Canglong shrugged his shoulders, looked at the rescue, and said, "If cynicism can save the people below, maybe I will, but I can't." ”

"Yes, we can't save it, we can only fight with the sky, fight with people, fight with us, fight with ourselves." Secretary Yu suddenly said something meaningful.

Seven days and seven nights of rescue, so that the villagers finally saw a glimmer of hope, they finally dug through the mine, although the situation inside makes people feel a little bad, but the rescuers still have no hesitation to go down, on the eighth day, the first person was rescued, there is still a breath left, which brings hope to people.

However, more have died, when they saw their relatives being carried out, countless sleepless family members finally cried bitterly, in the heavy rain, in the unbearable gaze of everyone, in the tiredness of crying and rain intertwined, most of the family members guarded the door of the mine, every time a person was carried out, their hearts couldn't help but beat at great speed, seeing the living life, they also cried bitterly, no one knew why they were crying.

Canglong and Secretary Yu were also guarding the entrance of the mine, the ambulance and the doctor were all waiting outside, no one blocked the exit of the mine, the villagers took the initiative to give way to a road, they were waiting for their relatives, and Canglong was waiting for the old Chinese medicine doctor, Hu Ping'an nervously watched a person being carried out, but none of them were his grandfather.

Two hours later, there was still no news, and there were still five or six people buried underneath the mine's list, and the risk of a second collapse was worrying on the faces of rescuers.

Hu Ping'an saw that they hesitated, and finally couldn't help but rush in, but was blocked by Canglong, he scratched Canglong like crazy and wanted to break free, but Canglong didn't let go, I don't know how long it took, the rescuers finally couldn't help but get into the mine again, no one forced them, but they volunteered.

Hu Ping'an calmed down, and he suddenly asked Canglong: "Teacher, why did the disaster befall me, why did God treat me so unfairly, and why was such a good person as my grandfather trapped below." ”

For his question, Canglong didn't rush to answer, just looked at the sky, I don't know how long it took, he raised his head and said: "Disaster doesn't just befall a certain person's head, everyone will have a disaster in their life, this is life." ”

"Is it always?" Hu Ping'an asked expressionlessly.

"Always!" Canglong replied in the affirmative.

When Hu Lao and the remaining six people were rescued, two rescuers were knocked unconscious by stones because of the collapse of the mine, fortunately, the injuries were not serious, but five of the six people had stopped beating, and only one person was alive, and this one person was the youngest, only 18 years old.

Old Chinese Medicine Hu left, his face was still so peaceful, Hu Ping'an didn't cry, just looked at his grandfather's corpse and was silent.

No one wants to face such a scene, but people will always leave, it's just a matter of time, just like Canglong said firmly, life is always like this, even if you don't want to.

After nearly nine days of being trapped, only 20 of the 112 people survived, and the other 92 people died in this mining disaster, which set a new record for the number of deaths in the mining disaster in Jiangnan Province, and it was also the largest mining disaster in Jiangnan Province in recent years.

Afterwards, Secretary Yu ordered a special person to investigate, and found that if they dug the mine for even five hours earlier, the death toll would be reduced by half, if they dug through the mine one day earlier, the death toll would be reduced to the lowest, and if they dug two days earlier, maybe no one would die because of this mining disaster.

But there are no ifs in life

After learning that there were still alive people being carried out, Deputy County Magistrate Wu shouted that it was a miracle, but his face began to worry again, so many people alive, and so many dead people, how much money does the county have to pay?
