Chapter 158: Mine Disaster

The setting sun and the setting of the night, coupled with the clouds and the wind that swept the ground, made the day prematurely into the night. However, the street lights have not yet had time to come on. The newly blooming trees on the side of the road roared in the wind, complaining that the sudden sand and dust had soiled its new clothes.

Xiao Li was in a heavy mood, but her steps were unexpectedly fast. She ran wildly in the direction of the mine, praying silently in her heart, praying that everything was safe and sound, that the strange movement she had just heard was just an illusion. I have lived in the mining area for a long time, and I still know some common sense. If an explosion can be heard from a kilometer away, it must have been a major accident.

"How old will it be? If it explodes hundreds or even thousands of meters underground, the chain reaction will be in the surface working area of the mine at most! Now that loud bang has spread to a kilometer away, isn't it ......?"

Xiao Li didn't dare to think about it anymore, and her worries and anxieties forced her to keep speeding up. When she reached the mine, her legs were sore, and her eyes were flashing with golden lights, and she leaned against a big tree and gasped for air. At that time, there was already a mess in the mining area. Almost all the staff in the various ground offices were dispatched, and the noise of men and women was deafening. There were dozens of fire trucks and ambulances, each honking their horns and heading inside. At that moment, the flashing of the warning lights seemed to be a kind of foretaste of death.

After a few minutes, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then rushed into the crowd with a wild roar.

One of the houses in the mining compound collapsed, leaving dust and rubble on the ground. Several paramedics have already gone over to help them on the spot, and it seems that their injuries are not serious. From the discussion of the onlookers, Xiao Li learned that the cause of the ground explosion was the leakage of liquefied gas in the canteen, which had nothing to do with the explosion in the underground mine, but fortunately, there were no casualties among the diners. However, it was not these things that disturbed the workers at the mine, but the accident underneath. At this time, the mine has completely stopped production, and the workers underground are rushing to the surface one after another.

Since it is not a state-owned mine, they do not have professional rescue personnel, and in an emergency, they can only turn to professional rescue teams. Of course, some people spontaneously went down with the firefighters to search and rescue first.

Xiao Li squeezed into the crowd and ran in the direction of the entrance to the mine. When she saw a familiar figure, she rushed over with a glimmer of hope and grabbed the man's shirt.

"Big brother, big brother Li."

Xiao Li looked at the man and shouted.

The man was busy directing the makeshift search and rescue personnel who were preparing to go down, and he turned back in surprise when he heard someone shouting anxiously. When he saw that it was a worker's wife, the man's face showed a kind of impatience. I mean, what are you doing here?

"You ......"

Lao Li still held back and didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"Big brother, what's going on? My family's Yuetong ...... Is it also underground? ”

When Xiao Li said this, tears could not stop pouring out.

"No, he's on the night shift today. Oh, isn't this time supposed to be a rest at home? ”

Lao Li forced himself to let go of his nervous and panicked emotions, and said to Xiao Li in a slightly slower tone.

"Impossible! Brother Li, have you forgotten so quickly? Just after one o'clock this afternoon, you made a phone call to Yue Tong. At that time, you said that there were several people in your team who asked for leave, so let Yue Tong help replace a class! ”

Xiao Li cried and shouted, and suddenly some lively nearby villagers gathered around her. Everyone was talking about it again, which made the old team leader Li even more upset.

"It should be a mistake, your family Yue Tong must have gone out to drink secretly, and he didn't dare to tell you. I advise you to go and find it quickly, and don't make a mess in the mines, okay? ”

Lao Li's tone was already obviously a little impatient.

At this time, a long-tongued woman in the crowd began to discuss: "They refuse to admit it, I see, they just want to lose less money." I heard that the owner is a private owner......"

Xiao Li, who heard this, was immediately furious. The previous "pleading" instantly turned into "angry reprimand" and questioning.

"I just want to ask, what do you want? My Yue Tong was obviously called to work by you, but you didn't admit why? ”

Xiao Li tightly tugged on Lao Li's placket and refused to let go, gritting her teeth and questioning the other party with tears streaming down her face.

Lao Li was completely stunned, and desperately shook his head to deny it.

"Impossible, impossible! At a little more than a little bit, I was not in the mine. Besides, none of our group took time off to rest. Xiao Liu, bring the attendance sheet of our group. ”

Lao Li explained, and by the way, he called out to a young man standing next to him. When a clear attendance sheet was presented in front of Xiao Li, her brain suddenly roared, and her body trembled a few times and almost fell. She still didn't believe Lao Li's words, she didn't believe the attendance sheet, she was even more crazy and desperately squeezed into the crowd. Near the entrance to the mine, she stared at the wounded men whose faces were as black as charcoal, and whose blood was mixed with soot from their wounds, or who had lost their vital signs. Every time she came out, Xiao Li would frantically rush over to see what was going on, completely ignoring the rescuers' obstruction. But every face and figure did not resemble her husband.

In this way, Xiao Li has been waiting there, alternating between hope and disappointment for a long time. A professional rescue team is here to evacuate unrelated people. Xiao Li refused to leave, and kept sitting there crying. That Lao Li came over and explained in detail countless times, and dialed Yue Tong's phone, however, no one answered. He ordered someone to go to the locker room to check again, but he didn't see Yue Tong's clothes, and he didn't see Yue Tong after checking all the video surveillance.

"Nope! I don't believe it! ”

Xiao Li still insisted on her attitude, so that Lao Li was already scratching her ears and cheeks, and she really didn't know how to face this heartbroken woman.

"Come on, come on, girl. I'll show you something, I want to ...... You should believe that I didn't call Yue Tong. ”

Lao Li was in a hurry and pulled Xiao Li into a corner. It was already dark and the place was far away from the lights. Xiao Li looked at Lao Li suspiciously, I don't know what the hell is going on?

"Girl, look. Here are my call logs, from 12 noon to 3 pm. ”

Lao Li took out his mobile phone and flipped through the call records to show Xiao Li. During that time period, only one contact with the note "Eryatou" is displayed.

"Hehe, what does that mean? Are you fooling me? Call logs can be deleted. ”

Xiao Li smiled coldly, still not believing Lao Li's explanation.

Lao Li's face was gloomy for a while, and after a sigh, he took out a "killer feature" from his wallet.

"This is the ticket for my stay at the xx hotel, and it was just after one o'clock in the afternoon with my ...... An old ...... Classmates in the room...... If you don't believe me, you can ask her directly. I had been there for ten days, and she had only been here for three days. ”

Unexpectedly, Lao Li actually took out the bill for opening a room with his lover, Xiao Li was dumbfounded. This time, I finally believed it, because it takes a lot of courage for a married man to take out such a bill, which can't help but make her suspect Lao Li's "deception" in the Yuetong incident.

Xiao Li's gaze instantly became much duller, and she stood blankly.

"Sister, don't worry, as long as our search and rescue personnel find Yue Tong, we will definitely do our best to save it. Of course, the chances of him being under the mine are slim to none. Because there are regulations in the mine, non-duty workers are not allowed to go down the mine at will. ”

Lao Li comforted Xiao Li while deliberately emphasizing the fact that Yue Tong didn't come to work at all.

Xiao Li didn't ask any more questions, she mechanically twisted her body and walked blankly towards the outside of the mining area......

"I'm ...... I'm here...... I'll ...... right below."

A voice suddenly came into Xiao Li's ears.
