"Could it be that the drawings are wrong?" Shensen said.

Xu Ang hurriedly called someone to check if there was a mine in this location.

After more than ten minutes, just when everyone was impatient, they finally got a reply.

When the police arrived at the location, they found that there was no mine in the area, but due to heavy rains, a large puddle had accumulated in the place. As he was about to return, the water in the puddle suddenly and rapidly decreased. When the water ran out, there was a hole in the ground the size of a bowl. He and his entourage of miners inspected the hole, which confirmed that there was originally a mine, but the entrance was later blocked.

"This position, it seems to be ......" Zhang Sheng hurriedly ran to the computer, called up the three-dimensional map of the geological structure of the C coal mine, and after careful calculation, he said firmly: "Yes!" The location of this mine is the initial location of the collapse, which is where the pile of bones is located! ”

"Xu Hua, what's going on?" Huang Shan looked at Xu Hua with a slight anger in his eyes, "First the coal mine was flooded, then the coal mine collapsed, and then dozens of bones were found wearing your C coal mine work clothes, and now I am told that there is a sealed mine for some reason, and below is where those bones are...... How much do you have to hide from us! ”

Xu Hua was so anxious that he was about to cry: "This, I really, really don't know!" The coal mine, which I took over only three years ago, has been doing my duty for three years and has not made a single mistake...... I think the previous mine manager Li should know something, yes, maybe he did. ”

……

We should not only look at what is happening on the ground, but also the world, stories and sins beneath our feet.

Basically all miners have heard a phrase to describe their profession: eat the food of the sun and do the work of the underworld.

Seems good.

They all laughed and said that they were the people of the underworld who took food from the belly of Hades.

Every day when they wake up, they see an endless darkness in front of them, and they can't see the darkness of the future.

For them, the so-called day is to wake up in the dark, work in the dark, sweat in the dark, and finally fall asleep in the dark.

And the miner's lamps that emit a faint light are, to them, the sun.

When we refused to open our eyes and leave the bed wrapped in a soft, fragrant and warm quilt, they left only a hard, moldy, cold and ragged blanket on the floor where they had long since left.

As we ate the fragrant breakfast prepared by our family, or the delicacies in the restaurant, they nibled on the slightly moldy steamed buns that we didn't know were brought in a few days ago.

When we dress carefully in the mirror, fiddle with our hairstyles, and hesitate which clothes to wear to meet the person we love, they can only use the miner's lamp above their heads to see their long-lost appearance from the eyes of another miner, and miss their wives and children who have only been seen in dreams for many years.

When we shouted hoarsely in the KTV, "Give me a cup of forgetful water, for my life without sadness", they hummed softly under the roar of the machine, "Sing our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength".

When we fall asleep with a lover, lover or lover in our arms, they can only hold themselves tightly.

For us, when disaster strikes, the adjective is the heavens falling apart.

For them, when a mining disaster occurs, the adjective is the destruction of the world.

There is a kind of world destruction called coal mine collapse, there is a kind of world destruction called gas explosion, there is a kind of world destruction called coal mine permeability, and there is a kind of world destruction called coal dust explosion.

But their souls would never have imagined that after the destruction of the world, there would be an even more terrible destruction of humanity.

They have worked hard for many years, worked hard for many years, and dedicated many years, and the coal they produce has brought light and warmth to thousands of families, but they did not expect to be able to get rid of a trace of cold and darkness.

They can only use black eyes to watch the tiny piece of sky above their heads being sealed, and watch their bodies being eaten away by rotting insects and stink flies little by little.

The black body is confined to this black world from birth to death.

How could they be willing?

So a heavy rain fell from heaven to wash away the sins of ignorance and calm the revenge of the lonely souls and ghosts.

……

Heavy rains in the past few days have caused the groundwater level in H City to soar, and the huge water pressure has attacked the C coal mine, which has been dilapidated due to years of unmaintained.

The coal mine began to seep water, and all the miners were anxious.

"Zhao Tou, what should I do? If the water rises any longer, we'll all drown here. A miner said panicked to the leader Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu is the head of these twenty-three miners, responsible for the work scheduling of the miners and responding to some sudden equipment failures.

Zhao Xu was also very anxious in his heart, he knew that if he couldn't leave as soon as possible, with the current speed of the water level, everyone would be submerged in this water in less than an hour.

"Now that the exit is blocked due to the landslide, we can't get in touch with the outside world, so we can't wait long." An elderly miner took off his hard hat and left tears in his eyes.

Many people began to cry, and many people began to take out paper and pen with the faint miner's lamp above their heads, and wrote a suicide note crookedly.

Zhao Xu looked at these twenty-three people, and his nose was sour.

"Are we really going to die here?"

……

"Zhao Tou, Zhao Tou."

A voice pulled Zhao Xu back from his memories. When he opened his eyes, the world before him was as black as he remembered. The faint light emitted by the miner's lamp made Zhao Xu unable to tell whether this was the past or the present.

"Zhao Gong, we have already contacted the above, they will send someone to rescue soon, you hold on." A rescue team member said to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu's body stiffened from the cold. He began to have a fever and some delirium. He could barely make out a single word of what the rescue team member in front of him said.

He just giggled.

In his eyes, the fragmented skeletons around him began to piece together on their own, forming a complete skeleton. The light of the miner's lamp converged on the bones of the twenty-three corpses, vaguely outlining the appearance of nightmares for many years.

Zhao Xu will never forget the hope in the eyes of those twenty-three people when he used a diesel generator to restart the mine elevator five years ago. He will not forget the way he swore that he would come back to save them.

He will never forget that it was his reckless promotion of mining that led to the permeable collapse of the coal mine.

He remembers that he cried for a long time under a tree for fear of taking responsibility for the collapse of the coal mine, and then slowly walked to the office of his brother-in-law, Mine Manager Li.

He remembered that he had discussed with Mine Manager Li for a long time how to conceal the truth of the mining disaster.

He remembered that the twenty-three people had left their homes without relatives and for no reason, so he could cover everything up as usual.

A skeleton looked at Zhao Xu and said in a flat tone: "Zhao Tou, we have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

When he was dying, Zhao Xu also muttered: "I also regret it for a long time." ”

……

Zhang Sheng quickly devised a plan to enter the mine from the abandoned mine for rescue. The entrance to the mine was cleaned and reinforced, and an aqueduct was excavated to divert water from the ground so that the stagnant water would not flow into the mine again. After that, rescuers were dispatched to carry safety ropes from the mine into the coal mine, and the trapped people were rescued one by one. At the same time, Huang Shan also used radio to tell the trapped people in the mine to actively cooperate and not to rush to be the first.

One hour and 43 minutes later, all the trapped people were safely rescued.

The bones of the twenty-three miners were also taken out of the cage where they had been trapped for five years.

Subsequently, Li Guoqiang, the former mine manager of Coal Mine C, was arrested, and he confessed to the police that he had shielded Zhao Xu to conceal the mining disaster. Five years ago, Zhao Xu's illegal mining led to the collapse of the coal mine, and after he escaped from the coal mine, he was afraid of taking responsibility, so he ruthlessly refused to save the 23 miners who were still in the mine. After the water level rose, a massive collapse occurred in the coal mine, burying 23 miners in the endless darkness.

Zhao Xu died.

He was left below by them.

The remains of twenty-three miners were buried on a hill near the C coal mine.

They continued to watch.

……

The police informed the public about the two mining disasters, which triggered a huge upsurge of public opinion, and people mourned the 23 miners who died five years ago, blessed the 33 miners who are now immortal, and condemned Li Guoqiang and Zhao Xu.

A few hours later, the vast majority of people forgot about it again.

Because a celebrity announces a relationship, or a celebrity cheats, people are happy to pay attention to it for a few weeks.

Then a huge chemical explosion accident occurred in a certain city, and people went to watch one after another, commenting, mourning, and condemning.

But.

Nine times out of ten, netizens have always only silently glanced at these disasters......

……

When a disaster happens, God sheds tears, and it is unbearable, but many people ignore it and never be grateful.

The people of hell, why do the heat they give us make us indifferent all our lives?

The rain is still falling, and it's getting heavier and heavier.

It's not clean yet.

It has not subsided......
