Chapter 73: Saving Lives
Yunshang turned around and saw an old miner in his fifties and sixties sitting on the side of the road, his right leg was empty from under his knee, his left hand was only his thumb, and his right arm was still oozing blood.
The old miner has the distinctive characteristics left to him by the coal mining industry: his face is wrinkled, his skin is dark, cinders and engine oil remain in his fingernails, his palms are cracked into reticulated checks, and his broken legs and fingers are the eternal wounds and medals left to him by the industry.
Seeing the old miner clumsily loading the cigarette pouch with one hand, Yunshang hurriedly squatted down, helped the old miner pack the cigarette pouch, and helped him light the fire.
The old miner took a puff of the flue, looked at Yunsheng's red eyes, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Baby, don't cry, there is a government, the government will not let the enemy take the lives of our workers, and will not ignore our ......"
The old miner said that Yunshang would not cry, but tears kept oozing from the corners of his eyes.
He raised his arm, wiped the corners of his eyes with his dusty sleeves, and looked fixedly at the huge pit in the distance, as if talking to himself, as if talking to Yunsheng:
"We coal blacks are a group of people who are buried and not dead, eating food in the yang and doing work in the underworld, we all know these in our hearts, and we also accept our fate...... Even if there is anything, we are not afraid, our life is the government, and the government will raise a baby for us......"
Yunshang wanted to open her mouth to ask how many workers were buried in the mine, how many people were crushed by the collapsed houses in the mine, and wanted to ask if the enemy had caught it, but looking at the old miner's trembling hands and the tears that kept oozing from the corners of his eyes, he couldn't ask a word.
The old miner was sad not because of how many workers were buried in the mine, but because of the fact that his co-workers were buried in the mine.
There was a cheer in the distance, it was several police officers who carried another worker out of the rubble, Yunshang glanced at the old miner, turned his head and ran towards the collapsed mine.
It's a pity that as soon as I ran to the edge of the cave, I was stopped.
Yunshang had no choice but to stand on the periphery, trying to condense her spiritual power into bundles and go to the bottom of the mine.
Probably because she didn't stay in the space, even if Yunshang used space as a medium, her spiritual power could only detect about five meters.
Finding that there were no buried miners in the nearby shallow area, Yunshang decisively changed his location and changed places to explore.
Fortunately, many family members of the miners spontaneously participated in the rescue, and Yunshang's small body was drowned in the crowd, which was not abrupt.
I don't know how many positions I have changed, and I don't know how many times I have poked out my spiritual power, Yunsheng's little short legs are sour, and I finally found several buried miners at the edge of the spiritual power.
Several workers were huddled in a crack in a large rock with their heads covered in blood, struggling to catch their breath in the thin air in the crack.
Yunshang was in a hurry, worried that a few people would not be able to support the rescue time, but she didn't dare to tell anyone that there were miners buried in her location.
In desperation, Yunshang had no choice but to use her mental power to throw the broken coal in the cracks of the rocks into the space little by little, opening a passage for several miners to circulate air so that they could breathe fresh air from the outside world.
Other than that, Yunshang couldn't help any more.
After straightening up, because of the excessive use of mental power, Yunsheng's little face turned pale, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Huh? Whose baby is this? A pair of big hands supported Yunshang behind her, and before she could react, she was put aside by the collar from behind, "Go outside and stay outside, don't delay everyone to save people!" ”
Yunshang didn't go in to continue exploring, rested outside for a while, and turned around and ran towards the tent area.
From time to time, seriously injured people who were hit by houses were sent into tents, and the crowd at the door of the tent came and went, and it was very busy.
Zhou Mingjuan stood at the door of the tent, assigning the wounded to the doctors and nurses, but her eyes kept sweeping to several military district leaders standing in front of the adjacent tent.
Her bag hangs in the makeshift dispensing area of the tent, next to a nurse with her head down.
Yunshang stood at the door of the tent and glanced inside, retracted her head when Zhou Mingjuan looked over, walked around the back of the tent, put Zhou Mingjuan's purse into the space through the tent, and after pulling out the recorder with her consciousness, she hung the purse out again.
The whole process only lasted a few seconds, and the people in the tent who were busy didn't notice that Zhou Mingjuan's bag had magically disappeared, and then magically returned to its original place.
After finishing her business, Yunshang found a sheltered corner and sat down, and while resting, she took out half a three-sided steamed bun to fill her stomach.
At this time, she didn't bother complaining that the taste of Sanhe noodles steamed buns was not good, and she didn't feel that this kind of food that was very rough for her was difficult to swallow.
She had to hurry up and fill her stomach and refresh herself enough to continue searching for and rescuing the buried workers!
………………
At this time, all the main roads in Linyang city were controlled by the military, especially the roads leading to the mining area in the north of the city, which were so tight that even mosquitoes could not fly over.
In a yellow mud house at the very edge of the mining area, the madman Wu smeared a few handfuls of soot on his face in the mirror, rubbed his messy gray hair to the point of almost knots, and wore an old cotton jacket full of holes.
From behind, his body can almost be described as skinny, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
Several children of seven or eight years old are turning over the flower rope at the entrance of the alley, and they also look up from time to time to look in the direction of the mining area.
Seeing that the madman Wu came out of the alley, several children surrounded him.
"Crazy Wu! Why didn't you go to the mine to help save people? ”
"Crazy Wu, no one will give you food today, hurry back and don't make trouble in the mine."
"Hey, what's in Maniac Wu's bag?"
"I'll see!"
……
Several children quickly tore off the snakeskin bag in the hand of the madman Wu, poured out the coal that the madman Wu had picked up in the mine and burned once but did not burn through, and pulled out a cannonball-like thing from inside.
Seven or eight-year-old children are at the age when people hate dogs, and soon a mischievous child turns out a match from home and lights the cannonball.
I saw a yellow and bright line of fire rising into the sky, cutting through the gloomy sky, and then disappearing without a trace.
Madman Wu breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and looked up in the direction of the city.
Early in the morning, I bought an envelope and stationery at the post office, and finally the middle-aged man who was sitting in front of the window writing a letter saw the line of fire, immediately put down the pen in his hand, walked to the counter and asked to call.
In the courtyard of the military region, the phone of Commander Bai's house suddenly rang, Lin Junlan put down the thick book in his hand and went over to pick up the phone.
"Mrs. Bai, your little seven asked me to bring you something, now that the whole city is under martial law, I can't come to the door in person, so I asked my kid to send it to you. Mrs. Bai remembered going to the gate of the military region at four o'clock to pick it up. ”
