Jar Village, Dongshan Pass on the bank of the Dongla River.

Red flags fluttering.

After more than 20 days of tossing, the earth dam repair project of the second production team of Canzi Village was finally officially started.

In fact, according to Xie Gong's design, it should be called an earth-rock dam more accurately, because the dam body part should be mixed with certain stones to reinforce.

The Loess Plateau is not all loess, and there are also a large number of stones in many places, and there is no way to grow crops. Even in the Dongla River, you can find a lot of stones. z.br>

The stone slabs produced in Linxian County are famous throughout the Loess Plateau.

Wang Yanqiang bought so many detonators before just to open up mountains and take stones. He deliberately set up a blasting team to pull Wang Manyin into it.

"Uncle Yanqiang, don't you forget it...... I still help carry the stones. You can find someone else about the explosion." Wang Manyin refused very admittedly.

He was really reluctant to touch dangerous objects like detonators. In the online reports of later generations, I have seen a lot of safety accidents, and I am really a little scared.

There is only one small life, and I am not a professional. What should I do if I run into a squib or something?

"You're such a coward, you've said it's okay. As long as the fuse is long enough, it's fine." Wang Yanqiang looked at him with great disdain, "Speaking of which, you are also one meter and eight big, what is there to be afraid of."

"Uncle Yanqiang, how can I compare with you. You are a hero who has fought with bayonets on the battlefield and seen red, and you are full of guts. I really don't have that much guts......" Wang Manyin continued to shake his head.

"It's okay, the more you practice, the more daring you get. I'll tell you, when I was sixteen years old and first went to war, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. The bullets were whizzing and flying, and they didn't dare to lift their heads when they lay in the trenches. After two battles, I am not afraid of anything...... During the Battle of Xifu, we blocked the horse bandit army on the plateau, and all the bullets were gone. Seeing the cavalry of the horse bandit army rushing over, they all rushed up with bayonets, and none of them were instigated......

Wang Manyin and the others were listening with relish, but they saw Wang Yanqiang suddenly stop speaking.

"What happened after that?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"I had just stabbed an enemy cavalryman, and before the bayonet could be drawn, I just 'boomed' and didn't know anything...... When I woke up again, my head was covered in blood. It was dark, not a single one was alive on the position, and all the comrades-in-arms were sacrificed. I fumbled my way north to find the ...... of the group."

When they heard this, the crowd fell silent.

Especially Wang Manyin, he felt even deeper, he only knew that Wang Yanqiang had been a soldier before, but he didn't expect to have such a turbulent experience.

Coming to this era, Wang Manyin's mood has always been complicated.

The good, the bad, it's all there.

Compared with the prosperous era a few decades later, this era does have many shortcomings. But you can also see the spirit and spirit that the future generations do not have.

The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky......

Whatever you do, if you don't accept it, you will do it.

"Okay, Uncle Yanqiang, ***." When it came to this, Wang Manyin did not shirk again.

"That's right, a manly man, who was afraid of wolves and tigers, is too despised. I'm also going to let you join the militia squad after the autumn harvest, and I'll recommend it when the time comes......" Wang Yanqiang patted the other party's shoulder and said with a little relief.

If he were Wang Manyin, who was the hanger more than half a year ago, he would never say such a thing. Now seeing that the other party is living a down-to-earth life after getting married, and he is also a character, Wang Yanqiang intends to cultivate it.

"Uncle Yanqiang, forget about the militia squad, I'm afraid of shooting......" Wang Manyin found a plausible reason to refuse. He knew that the other party had good intentions, but it was not necessary, and he didn't want to worry too much.

Whenever a meeting is held in the village, the militia squad must be used to escort people, and Wang Manyin can't stand such an atmosphere.

A group of people walked and chatted, and drove the donkey cart to the back of the can village. After twisting and turning, he finally stopped in front of a small hill, and several nearby mountains were overgrown with stones, from which the villagers used to take stones from their kilns in the early years.

To open the mountain and blast the stone, first use a sledgehammer to shoot the blast hole.

It's not just a random place

You can start drying, you need to choose the right point of frying.

Wang Yanqiang had come here to look for it beforehand, and he already had a general context in his heart. After checking it for a week, he picked up a ginger stone and carved marks on the stone.

After confirming the marking, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Wait a minute, just make an eye at the place where the mark is drawn, and you need to hit half a meter to a meter deep." It's a hard job, a team of three, replacing the sledgehammer, and when you're tired, you'll be replaced!"

Knowing that Wang Manyin had never hit a cannon hole before, Wang Yanqiang deliberately divided the other party into a group with himself, and was specifically responsible for picking up the sledgehammer.

It's a lot of work...... There are more than a dozen pounds of hammer alone, and people with little strength can't do it at all.

Wang Manyin's previous experience of wrestling with others in the village left a deep impression on Wang Yanqiang. This is also the reason why he specifically invited the other party to join the demolition team.

At the critical moment, Wang Manyin was still willing to work hard, so he naturally did not shirk.

When Wang Yanqiang held up the steel drill, he immediately smashed it with a sledgehammer.

Syllable...... Iron sparks flew in all directions, penetrating deep into the four fingers of the stone surface.

This move startled Wang Yanqiang, and he almost jumped up and scolded: "*** ancestors, look at it, do things roughly. Before I finished speaking, you smashed it down with a hammer, what should I do?"

"Uncle Yanqiang, it's not what you just said. A manly man, you can't be afraid of wolves and tigers before doing things." Wang Manyin defended himself with some grievances.

"Then it will be on the occasion...... The sledgehammer is skillful, pay attention to a steady and accurate ruthlessness, you must not face people, what to do if you take it off? Lao Tzu didn't die when he went to the battlefield, you smashed your brain with a big hammer, how damn unjust it is." Wang Yanqiang responded angrily.

Well, let him say everything.

However, Wang Manyin also listened to it, and deliberately staggered his body when he picked up the second hammer. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I will really hit the other party's head.

After clattering back and forth for a while, the iron drill quickly hit more than half a meter deep.

On the other hand, Wang Qingming's group next to him, the first blast hole had just hit thirty centimeters deep.

This made Wang Yanqiang sigh: "Okay, full of silver, you deserve to be a little yak!" What's the matter, don't you change people?"

"It's okay, I've just warmed up," Wang Manyin didn't brag, he took dozens of hammers, and he couldn't breathe or beat his heart. It's just that my body is a little hot, and I don't even sweat.

He simply took off his padded jacket and took the initiative to carry the sledgehammer towards the second blast hole. Wearing only a red autumn coat, the tendons and flesh can no longer be covered, which is very enviable.

It wasn't until the second blast hole was hit that Wang Manyin got up to change people.

Wang Yanqiang immediately felt that the cooperation was not smooth, and kept saying loudly, "Brother Qingming, have you not eaten? Push yourself hard, look at people, and almost hurt me......

After some tossing, it took them a full hour to finally lay six blast holes.

Next, Wang Yanqiang personally loaded the explosives. It was a dangerous job, and the whole process had to be done carefully, so he didn't dare to let someone else take his place.

Wang Yanqiang was squatting and busy, when he suddenly heard the sound of a match striking behind him.

With a twist of his head, he almost fell silent.

Then he shouted: "Brother Qingming, what are you doing, you want to blow us all up?!"

This voice was so sudden that Wang Qingming was so frightened that he even threw a matchbox on the ground.

Hearing the sound, Wang Manyin, who went to the side to release water, hurriedly ran back and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Blame me for forgetting your explanation...... I was too tired to open my eyes just now, so I wanted to smoke a bag of cigarettes and rest."

When he knew what had happened, Wang Manyin also broke out in a cold sweat.

I lit a cigarette next to the pile of explosives and smoked it, and I was really impatient.

That's why he was reluctant to join the demolition team: they weren't trained and didn't have any safety awareness.

Wang Yanqiang carefully filled the explosives, cut the fuse into several sections, and inserted them into the detonator. It is then placed in the blast hole explosive and compacted with soil.

This step is equally dangerous...... When he was not professional, he once saw someone stabbing the detonator with an iron drill too hard, which caused an explosion and pierced the iron drill with a large hole in his stomach on the spot.

After doing all this, Wang Yanqiang put it

Everyone shouted to safety and ordered, "One person lights a cigarette and waits for the fuse to be lit." Remember to listen to me! I shout one, two, three, everyone, run after ordering, don't rub it off."

In fact, Wang Yanqiang left a margin when cutting the fuse, but several of his companions did it for the first time, so he had to explain it clearly first to prevent them from making mistakes when the time came.

After he finished speaking, Wang Manyin immediately retorted: "Uncle Yanqiang, don't panic, I feel like I'll try it first."

"What do you try?" Wang Yanqiang asked puzzled.

"Let's get a few fuses and stick them in the soil, and you shout the password to try it once, so that everyone can have an experience."

"You're right, it's better." Wang Yanqiang was as good as a stream, and immediately took out the remaining fuse and cut it into several sections.

What a problem with a try!

The cigarette Wang Qingming lit had a large amount of soot, and he didn't even light it after poking it a few times.

Seeing that everyone else had turned over and ran, he continued to blow on the cigarette butt and light it, without the slightest nervousness.

This is going to be a real battle, and it is estimated that it will be blown up long ago.

As for Wang Junxiang, he ran quite early, and the key fuse was not lit.

Seeing this, Wang Yanqiang had to let everyone try twice, and finally there was nothing wrong.

Even so, he was still a little uneasy to explain: "Remember what I just said, don't order if you can't order it, safety first!"

After confirming that no one else existed near this mountain, he led everyone to officially light the fire.

With the simulation experiment just now, Wang Manyin's side is very smooth. After arriving at the position, he blew a few cigarette butts and waited, waiting for Wang Yanqiang to give an order to light it as soon as possible.

Amid the sneering burning of the fuse, he hurried towards the evacuation point.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Junxiang followed......

Soon, all six people arrived.

After waiting for a while, Wang Junxiang looked into the distance, and asked a little nervously, "Uncle Yanqiang, what's the matter, there is no sound?"

"Panic, I can't reserve some time......

As soon as the words fell, boom...... An explosion rang out!

Accompanied by white smoke, I saw the gravel rising into the air dozens of meters away, and the large stones rolled into the bottom of the cliff.

Wang Yanqiang hurriedly bent his fingers to count, and Wang Manyin also counted in his heart.

Then, a few more booms!

When the sound of explosions and falling rocks completely stopped, the faces of both of them changed.
