"Ascend the well, ascend the well."

"Pump."

The bald man didn't care about anything else, but screamed at the walkie-talkie.

"...... Uproar"

The sound of the water became clearer and clearer, bringing with it a roar that almost drowned out the volume of the call for help.

"Boom ......"

"Didi",

"Crunch",

An off-road vehicle drove up like a speed, and Brother Rabbit jumped under the car in a hurry, followed by two bodyguards.

When he saw someone at the entrance of the cave, he scolded: ", what are you doing with a pestle?" Go back to the dorm. ”

When he saw a few people clearly, Brother Rabbit hurriedly added: "Lao Gu stays." ”

"Why don't you get out of here?" A bodyguard approached and pointed at the four.

The four of them did not respond, and turned around and walked directly, followed by the bodyguards, who followed them until the dormitory.

At this time, the dormitory was already full of people, and the old miners were all called away, leaving only the new ones chattering.

"How did you hear that?" The tiger couldn't help it for a long time, and when he found that the bodyguard had left, he asked.

Zhao Linran didn't respond, just shook his head, which can be understood as not wanting to say, or it can mean that he doesn't know.

"Inquire less." Dali probably realized something and scolded in a low voice.

The tiger wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at Zhao Linran from time to time, and the same was true for Erniu.

Zhao Linran lay down on the bunk and simply closed his eyes, but his mind turned quickly: to what extent is the water permeable? How many people are in it? How to rescue? How many can you run out? What can I do?

After quick thinking, Zhao Linran made a decision: not moving.

Now that he has no identity, and the water far away does not quench his thirst, I believe that the mine will do its best to rescue, and the operator does not want to die. As for what will happen to the mine if someone dies, it's another matter.

Under the supervision of security guards, the new miners spent more than a day, during which the dormitory, the canteen, and the occasional convenience outside. As for the situation in the mine, nothing is known except that it is permeable.

During the break, the new miners either play poker or sleep, which is more comfortable. The most satisfying thing for them is the food, two eggs per person for breakfast, and there is a big fat meat in the main meal, which is simply too fragrant.

Unlike those people, Zhao Linran and the four of them didn't play cards, and they didn't have that mind at all, except for sleeping and eating, they were in a daze.

On this day, the four of them were asleep, and Lao Gu came back: "Get up, eat, and go to work." ”

"It's not dawn, what time is it?" The tiger muttered and sat up, then clutched his stomach again, "I've been pulling since last night, and I've been pulling for a while." ”

"I have a headache."

"I'm not feeling well either."

Erniu and Dali also gave reasons for stopping work.

Only Zhao Linran didn't say anything, got up quickly, got dressed, and followed Lao Gu.

After eating, the sky was also bright, and at seven o'clock they officially went to work, and Zhao Linran and Lao Gu came to the well by tank cage.

Zhao Linran noticed that although it was the same hole, it was a tank cage on another track, and it was not the mine he had been to before.

There are traces of water in the mine, which do not seem to be serious, and should have been left during the flood discharge.

Unlike in the past, today we are not digging coal, but cleaning up the mud and debris after the mine has been flooded.

The air was humid, somewhat dreary, and even more dreary was the atmosphere.

Since he got up in the dormitory, Lao Gu didn't say a word, and Zhao Linran didn't say anything.

In fact, Zhao Linran wanted to speak out and take advantage of this rare opportunity, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, so as not to surprise the other party, but also to let the other party reveal some secrets in the mine.

"Don't do it here." After being bored in the well for more than two hours, Lao Gu spoke first.

Zhao Linran's eyes lit up: Lao Gu is treating me as a normal person?

"Why? What's the problem here? Zhao Linran took advantage of the situation to ask.

"I mean, don't work in the coal mines, find some work on the ground." Lao Gu said.

"Haven't you been doing it for so many years?" Zhao Linran asked rhetorically.

Lao Gu smiled helplessly: "I can't help it." My wife died early, leaving a son and a daughter, and I am both a father and a mother. We have little land here, and the yield is very low, and I have no other skills, so I can only go to the coal kiln to sell coolies. This coal kiln is close to home, so they can go back after work, and they can still earn money for their education, which is more than the small workers on the construction site. ”

"At your age, the child should not be young, it's time to graduate and earn money, right?"

"My son read it out, he is a public family, and he has been working for three years. The government secretary doesn't earn much, and he saves 20,000 yuan every year. It's time for my son to marry a daughter-in-law, my daughter has just graduated from high school, and she is going to college again, how can I not earn more? ”

Government Secretary? Zhao Linran couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

"Both children are angry, my son was not in good health at the time of the college entrance examination, and he was admitted to Luxing University despite his illness. The girl studied better and was admitted to Capital University, which is the best in the country, the notice is so big, red and gorgeous, and it is a diorama of the school when you open it. When talking about the child's achievements, Lao Gu's wrinkled face rarely had a smile, and he couldn't hide his joy.

"Then I look forward to coming out, my daughter doesn't have to worry about work, I can apply for a loan for tuition, and my son has an iron job, so you don't have to take this risk." When Zhao Linran said this, he naturally asked a question, "There are often dead people here, right?" What do you do with the dead? Report and pay for the bereavement according to the regulations, or the corpse will be disfigured and transferred? ”

Lao Gu smiled helplessly: "Can you not die?" Death is death, give a few small coins and take it, or even ......"

Halfway through the conversation, Lao Gu stopped talking and hurriedly changed the topic: "It is dangerous to work in the mine, and people in their thirties and forties are not stupid, let alone go down the mine." Listen to me, don't do it here, can't you find some other work? ”

Zhao Linran smiled slightly: "I have good ears and fast legs." ”

"Collapses, falling roofs, water penetration, there are many dangers underground, and it is not good to have good ears and fast legs. Just last time......"

As soon as Lao Gu started talking, he hurriedly changed his words, "Eh, it's strange for you to say." Generally, before penetrating the water, there will be sweat and red, why didn't you find it this time? Or is the water too far away, but why do you hear it? ”

"I can't tell." After Zhao Linran shook his head, he asked again, "Did you go from another mine?" Other mines are more powerful? ”

"Other mines......" Lao Gu just said at the beginning, and then sloppy again, "Just talking, omitting everything here, let's talk less and do more." ”

Just when Zhao Linran was talking about the old words, Brother Rabbit was discussing Zhao Linran with Chang Bao, the owner of the coal kiln: "Brother Bao, no wonder people often say that when God closes the door for people, he will open a few more windows, don't you think it's stupid?" The brain is not bright, but this hearing is terrible. ”

"This guy is listening to ......" Chang Bao was halfway through his words, and suddenly wondered, "Is it really not a good brain?" ”

Brother Rabbit nodded and responded: "Yes, I can't even remember my ID number, and I also say the same when I work together." ”

"Since you're so stupid, why did you run for your life so quickly and call everyone else? There's nothing wrong with that, right? Chang Bao frowned and said slowly.

"What can be boring? Either the hearing is really special, or the blind cat has run into a dead mouse. Brother Rabbit disagreed.

"No, I have to try this guy myself, the county has been too chaotic recently, I can't prevent something from happening." Chang Bao shook his head, his eyes full of suspicion.

Brother Rabbit was very unimpressed: "What can happen?" Besides, it can't come out of your head. Who are you? You're a county ......."

"What nonsense?" Chang Bao raised his hand and patted it directly on the other party's head, "Grandma, how many times have I told you?" Don't mention that now, don't mention that, it's just a mother's memory of eating and not remembering. ”
