Su Jue originally wanted Tang Jingcheng to take a boat to Bagan alone, but he was a little uneasy about the nine-hour waterway, after all, she was still pregnant, and Tang Jingcheng didn't want to stay in Mandalay alone, she wanted to go to Bagan with Su Jue to see it.

"I've been carving jade for so many years, and there are too many jade stones that have passed through my hands. But I've never been to a place where jade is mined. Tang Jingcheng stood on the pier to Bagan, with a sunhat, black ultra sunglasses, and a light grass green loose T-shirt.

At that time, she was more than four months pregnant. Sagar Zhenba.

"Hpakant is different from Mandalay and Bagan, it's a mess there."

"I know that Qiu Qiguan told me a long time ago, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes."

As soon as the name "Qiu Qiguan" was mentioned, Su Jue surrendered.

"Okay, let's go together, I will let Qi Zheng go directly from Germany to Hpakant, and when he arrives, you will obediently follow him to Bagan."

"Okay, I'm measured." Tang Jingcheng took off his sun hat and left the dock with Su Jue.

There is no direct flight to Hpakant, you need to take a plane from Mandalay to Myitkyina first, and there are already cars sent from the mine to Myitkyina to pick up Sujue.

The road bumped over, and Tang Jingcheng vomited several times.

Su Jue was worried that she would not be able to bear it, but fortunately nothing happened. Tang Jingcheng did not show any squeamishness, and she sat on the grass by the side of the road when she rested along the way.

"I can't see that you are pampered and quite capable of carrying it." Su Jue got out of the car and gave her a drop of water to drink.

Tang Jingcheng took two sips, took the water and slapped it on her hot face a few times, the water droplets flowed down her red cheeks, she stood under the sun and smiled: "Fortunately, I won't hold people back at critical times." ”

"What about the kids? How are the kids? ”

"You say he?" Tang Jingcheng held his bulging stomach with his hand, "Look at him Lao Tzu, I know that he will definitely be very honest in the future..."

Su Jue was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"Ahem... Get in the car, it's important to get on the road. Tang Jingcheng immediately wiped the water from his face with his hand. He handed the mineral water bottle in his hand to Su Jue.

Su Jue looked at her emaciated back, stood in place and exhaled heavily.

Myanmar's roads and bridges are poorly constructed, from Myitkyina to Hpakant, all the way to the road is still potholed and uneven, dusty under the scorching sun, and a burst of loess is raised when the tires press over.

Fortunately, the car is a good car, the windows are closed, and the air conditioning is on inside.

Tang Jingcheng quietly leaned against the window, outside the window the scorching sun and loess, the large sheds and hills that flashed by, and the yellow earthwork exposed in the green hills.

The earthwork is all scrap from the jade mine, which has accumulated over time and has become a small mountain, and some of the ore has been overmined and no jade can be excavated, like scars cut out on the vegetation halfway up the mountainside, all over Hpakant.

Tang Jingcheng knew that the jade material was from a bad source, and he had heard Qiu Qiguan mention it before. But I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes, but it was still a little shocking.

"Isn't it almost there?" She asked Su Jue next to her.

Su Jue saw that her face was not very good, so he persuaded: "There is still some way, you can sleep for a while." ”

As a result, he slept for two or three hours, and when he woke up, it was already dark, Tang Jingcheng looked out in the shaking car, the car was still driving on the narrow and potholed mountain road, and it could be seen that the pitch-black halfway up the mountainside was dotted with dots of yellow light, which should be the light from the houses in the mountains.

"Mr. Su, it's almost here, there are about ten minutes left." Sent to Myitkyina to pick up Su Jue was a small leader in the mine, named Ratu Min, a Chinese-Burmese. He has lived in the Hpakant Jade Mining Area for more than 20 years and speaks Chinese and Burmese.

Su Jue put the hat next to the seat on Tang Jingcheng.

She was a little awkward: "There's no sun outside." ”

"I know, but the dust in the mine is choking. Wearing a hat will block you. ”

“……”

There will also be a delicate side to the paralyzed face, and Tang Jingcheng smiled: "Thank you." ”

"No, you don't have to get off the bus after you get to the mining area for a while, I have already asked people to arrange a room in the hotel, and I will ask Ladumin to take you to the hotel to rest first."

"I'm not going!" Tang Jingcheng had a very strong temper at a critical time, "I'm here, I have to take a look with you." ”

"No, that's not for you!"

"What's not suitable, isn't it a landslide?"

The landslide in her imagination was nothing more than loess everywhere, but she really followed Su Jue to the scene before she knew that she was too naïve.

"Mr. Su, a total of 76 bodies have been dug up from the gravel pile so far, and the search and rescue operation is still continuing, but because there are too many missing people, it is estimated that the number of victims will rise."

Chao Jian, the Chinese person in charge of the Hpakant mining area, was sent by Su Fan to report to Su Jue.

Tang Jingcheng's body shook visibly when he heard "seventy-six corpses".

Su Jue noticed the strange expression on her face, and was a little worried: "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope." She didn't dare to disturb Su Jue more.

Su Jue continued to ask Chao Jian: "Why are so many people missing?" ”

"The landslide happened at around 3 a.m., when the miners living in the mine were sleeping, and when the sand and gravel collapsed, nearly 100 surrounding sheds were buried underneath, and the location was too remote for the rescue work to be extremely slow."

A variety of reasons led to this major landslide.

Su Jue asked: "Who is carrying out the rescue work now?" ”

"The town's fire brigade, the military police, the Kachin community, oh yes, the Red Cross is coming, too."

Su Jue couldn't help but close his eyes: "Who revealed the news?" ”

"No, who would dare to reveal this kind of thing? But I can't hide it, because there are too many people who died this time. Chao Jian was shocked, and he hadn't closed his eyes until now, "This time the matter is a little tricky, after the incident, the people in the mining area are in chaos, and the old chairman at noon sent a message to be sure to solve it properly......

Chao Jian wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand as he spoke: "But it's okay now, Mr. Su, you come to shake the scene, and my heart that has been hanging for a day can be relieved." ”

Su Jue couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not a god, I can't go back to heaven, I can only try to minimize the impact of this matter, not to mention that now that even the Myanmar government and local communities in Kachin State are involved, this matter will only become more and more complicated." ”

"That's right, the family members of several miners still got up in the morning to make trouble, this must have been instigated and instructed by the people over there, fortunately the military police were still there at the time, otherwise..." Chao Jian said halfway, and suddenly glanced at Tang Jingcheng next to Su Jue with a blank look.

Tang Jingcheng realized the suspicion and suspicion in the man's eyes.

"Mr. Su, who is this?"

"I'm a friend of Mr. Su, and my surname is Tang." Tang Jingcheng took the initiative to introduce himself.

Chao Jian was stunned for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand to her: "Miss Tang, hello, are you here to travel to Myanmar?" ”

"No, I was going to Bagan to raise a baby, but something happened here, so I followed you Mr. Su to take a look." Tang Jingcheng replied very calmly, with no different color on his face.

Chao Jian was stunned.

Raising a baby? Whose womb? Glancing at Tang Jingcheng's stomach again, it was really slightly bulging forward, and seeing that Su Jue's attitude towards her was not ordinary, Chao Jian immediately understood in his heart.

The woman Su Jue raised outside, now that her belly is bigger, she wants to hide in Myanmar to give birth.

Well, that's definitely the case!

"Miss Tang chose the right place to go to Bagan, the tourist city over there is very comfortable, but the environment in our mining area is too poor, and there is a miasma of smoke everywhere."

Tang Jingcheng had already learned this on the way here, where the loess and mountains were everywhere, and there were shacks and domestic garbage built at random everywhere, full of barrenness.

"I'm just coming over and seeing, you guys talk, I'll walk around." Tang Jingcheng had already realized that this Chao Jian was wary of her, as if he had something important to talk to Su Jue.

Su Jue couldn't take care of her anymore: "Then don't go far, I'll ask Ladumin to send you back to the hotel in a while." ”

……

According to statistics, more than 90% of the world's jadeite and jade come from Myanmar, and Hpakant is one of the pits that can be mined from high-quality jade.

The mining area is located on the bank of the Wulu River, in order to mine the water of the Wulu River has been diverted, Tang Jingcheng walked a short distance along the river, and found that many sections of the river have also become mining pits, standing on the edge of the river, you can hear the roar of excavators around, there are winding lights in the distance, and there are also the shouts of miners.

There was still a jade mine working at such a late hour, and Tang Jingcheng knew that mining at night was a very dangerous thing, because of the lack of lighting and the unknown terrain, it was easy to have a mining disaster.

Tang Jingcheng didn't know where the earthwork of the collapse was, but when he heard the sound, he could see that there were many lights on the slope of about a few hundred meters, and the sound of machines and people was getting louder and louder from far to near, and then a few small orange lights moved towards Tang Jingcheng.

When Tang Jingcheng got closer, he realized that they were all miners, wearing hard hats on their heads, and small lamps for mining on their hats, the clothes on those miners were so dirty that they couldn't distinguish the color, their faces were also black, and several people behind them were dragging or carrying something.

Because the light was too dim, Tang Jingcheng didn't see clearly, but those people dropped things when they walked past her.

It's a hat.

She quickly picked it up and hurried after it, only to realize that something was wrong when she was about to shout.

They were dragging not things, but people, or corpses, about three or four of them, dragging them on the ground like rags and raising dust all the way......

The hat in Tang Jingcheng's hand fell from one of the corpses.

She let go of her hand like an electric shock, her dirty hat rolled out half a meter away, she stood in the dust dragged out of the corpse, her body shivered, her stomach rolled sharply, and she ran to the side of the road and vomited.

When Su Jue found her, she was standing on the edge of the river, her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Why are you standing here alone?"

She looked back, and the machines in the distance were still roaring, and the rescue operation should be going on.

"How many bodies have been found?"

"......" Su Jue frowned, "You don't need to know this, let's go, I'll let Ladumin send you to the room to rest first." ”
