The car arrived at an open space. It was said to be an open space. There was not much empty space on it. It was filled with coal trucks and various motorcycles.

Shen Guo found a place to park on it. He set up his glasses frame next to a well and said, "I'm here. This is the only water source here. Whether it's the coal miners or the boss, they will come here in an hour or so." of."

Cao Xue said: "Then you are just sitting back and waiting."

The car said: "Yes, it's useless even if I run in front of them to sell in this place, because they are working except when fetching water."

Shen Guo said: "Then it doesn't matter if we go and see for ourselves?"

The car said: "It doesn't matter. Don't ask everything. Just go in and take a look. Miss Cao Xue, you'd better not bring your camera. After all, this place is illegal and the manager is very sensitive to this." .”

Cao Xue was reluctant to bring a camera and said, "I just don't want to take pictures."

The car looked at Cao Xue and didn't insist. He knew most of the people here. After all, he had stayed here for three months.

So he told Shen Guo to be careful, and Shen Guo waited and left.

This beam is about 2,000 meters long and winding. You can see at a glance that it is covered with dense holes.

From a distance, it looks like a hornet's nest. From time to time, someone pulls out black frames from the holes. Of course, there is black coal inside. In fact, people are also black. Anyway, it feels like everything is black, not the road. The roads were dark, the hillsides were black, and the sky was black with coal floating in it.

Cao Xue picked up the camera involuntarily and just took two pictures when two people came over and said politely: "You, take out the film."

Shen Guo immediately glared at Cao Xue. Cao Xue didn't take Chai's words seriously. This place was not a trouble-making place at first glance.

He immediately smiled apologetically at the two men and said, "Brothers, the girl is not sensible. She just took a picture from a distance and then handed it in. It's such a waste of time to hand in the paper. I guarantee she won't take any more pictures."

The two people looked at Shen Guo's demeanor, and he must be a big boss. They thought that they only took two pictures, and they couldn't take any pictures in this position. There was no need to offend them, so they said: "I tell you, this is the first time." Warning, and this is the last warning, if you continue to take pictures, not only will the film be left behind, but the camera will also be left behind."

Shen Guo hurriedly said yes. He was looking at the camera in Cao Xue's hand. Maybe he would take pictures again. He took the camera from Cao Xue's hand, ran away and threw it in the car. He came back and said to the two people. : "Is it okay now?"

Seeing that Shen Guo knew the rules, the two of them didn't embarrass Shen Guo and waited. Cao Xue looked at the person and said, "Shen Guo, why did you take my camera?"

Shen Guo said, "I'm doing this for your own good. If you hold the camera again, I'm afraid you won't be able to save the two photos just now."

Cao Xue felt bad after hearing what Shen Guo said. But he still said "coward".

In front of each hole in the beam was a pile of coal of varying sizes. They were all pulled out of the holes by people. Some holes were larger and people could get in and out by bending down.

Some are smaller and can only be climbed in on one's knees, which is quite hard.

Seeing that they were shirtless, they seemed to be tired and didn't feel anything. They went back and forth, and there were seven or eight people in one cave, and three or four in the few.

The coal diggers can be seen to be young and middle-aged people, and you can tell at a glance that they are all very powerful.

Occasionally there are old people, who are also very strong.

However, after doing this kind of work for many years, he looks a bit like a living dead.

Shen Guo waited and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he just looked around from house to house. Occasionally, a coal boss asked Shen Guo if he bought coal, so Shen Guo would ask them about coal matters.

By the time they got to the end, the four of them were covered in soot. Especially Cao Xue, who was still wearing a white shirt today. The clothes were miserable.

Cao Xue waved her hand vigorously, but it was still the same, but there was a spray of soot. I sneezed a lot into my nose.

Cao Xue wiped her nose, which immediately seemed to be painted, and her whole face looked like a tabby cat, which made everyone laugh.

Yang Xiaocong was choked by the dust Cao Xue shook up just now, and after wiping it hard, he was the same as Cao Xue.

Cao Xue also saw it, so she knew why everyone was laughing at her.

At this time, a dark man stood up next to him, which startled everyone, because he was right next to him and no one noticed it.

The man said: "This is the first time people like you have come to this place. You don't seem to be dealing with coal."

Shen Guo said sheepishly: "We are just curious to see it."

The man said: "You are so lucky. We all have no choice but to come here to work. As long as we have a little bit of help, no one will leave without hesitation. You actually come to see coal mining. It's really strange."

After saying that, he suddenly looked at Yang Xiaocong with great interest and said, "What's your name, kid?"

"Yang Xiaocong." Yang Xiaocong looked at the dark black man and said.

The man then said, "How about uncle giving you a good gift?"

Yang Xiaocong looked at the black people and thought to himself

"You are covered in black coal, what can you give me?"

After thinking about it, Yang Xiaocong said something very real: "You won't give me a basket of coal, will you?"

The man said with a rare happy smile: "No, that gift is for my daughter and son." He took out a piece of clothing as black as coal from the soot on the ground, and then took it from his pocket He took out a stone, wiped it vigorously on his clothes and handed it to Yang Xiaocong.

Yang Xiaocong took it and took a look, and immediately shouted: "It's so beautiful, there is something in this stone."

Everyone looked over and saw that it was a piece of amber as big as an egg.

Yang Xiaocong couldn't put it down and said: "Uncle, do you still have it?"

The man smiled and said: "Of course there is, but I can't give it to you. I left it for my daughter and son. I haven't seen them for more than half a year. My son is about the same age as you. I just remembered you when I saw you." Son, so I gave the extra piece to you."

Yang Xiaocong said thank you repeatedly after hearing this. This was the first time he had seen this thing, so he started to study it curiously.

Shen Guo took out his cigarettes, handed one to the man and asked, "Brother, I see you are not very old. How long have you been doing this?"

The man said: "I am twenty-eight this year. I have been doing this job ten years ago. Once I encountered a landslide and narrowly escaped death. I vowed not to do it again. Later I married a wife and gave birth to two children. My life was really hard to solve. , I had no choice but to go up the mountain again. Now I am numb from doing this, and it can’t be said to be hard. I just miss my children. When I go back, they hug my legs left and right, and call me daddy with all their strength." As he spoke, the man shed tears, and the tears were black.

The man let his tears fall and continued: "I think about seeing the children every day now, so I couldn't help it when I saw Yang Xiaocong just now."

While we were chatting, suddenly someone in front shouted: "It's collapsed, it's collapsed, there are people inside."

When the black man next to him heard this, he immediately picked up the pry next to him and rushed over.

Shen Guo and others saw black people crawling out of the holes one after another like ants, and they all ran towards the collapsed holes.

Everyone was hurriedly trying to find the exit of the cave. When the cave subsided, the people had already been pulled out. They were only one meter away from the cave entrance, and someone rushed to rescue them. However, the rescuer slowly softened his body, sat next to him, and lowered his head.

Everyone around him knew that this man was hopeless. Cao Xue saw it and shouted: "Send to the hospital quickly!"

The dark man just heard what Cao Xue said and said to Cao Xue: "The person who saved the life turned out to be the director of the city hospital. He offended the director, resigned and came here voluntarily."

Cao Xue still wanted to say something, but Shen Guo took Cao Xue's hand.

At this time, a woman came over with two children, both six or seven years old, crying loudly: "The child's father, please don't let anything happen to you, otherwise what will happen to us orphans and widowed mothers!" When the woman pulled When she ran to the front with her child, she fainted when she saw her man and the dejected doctor.

When the two children saw their mother lying on the ground, they both shook her and called her.

The women didn't wake up. They saw their father walking beside them, and called for him and shook him. He did the same, and they started crying.

At this time, the two men who had just stopped Cao Xue from taking pictures came over and asked the doctor, "How is Director Zhen doing?"

The doctor known as the true director shook his head and said: "There are no signs of life anymore."

The two men looked at each other and said, "Wake up his wife and solve the problem."

Then the real director goes to perform the philtrum massage on the woman. The two men shouted: "Is Shi Gua here?"

A man in his forties came out. He was not as black as a coal miner. At first glance, he knew he was a small boss, but he was also covered in dust.

The two men said, "Do you know what to do?"

Shi Gua said dejectedly: "I know."

The two men nodded and saw that the woman was also awake, holding the child and sitting in front of her husband, crying, and asked: "You and Wuzi have been here for a while, do you know how we deal with such things? "

The woman nodded. The two men asked Quan Gua, "How many tens of thousands can you give Quan Gua?"

Quan Guo clenched his fists and said, "Twenty thousand."

The two men nodded and asked the woman, "Do you want tens of thousands?"

The woman said: "I still have two children. I want 50,000 yuan, otherwise how will I feed them." She cried to her man again.

The two men asked Quan Gua again, "What do you think?"

Quan Gua argued: "If someone dies here, we won't be able to accompany him for five thousand years. Besides, I don't have that much money."

The two men asked the woman again: "Although you are a dead man, Quan Gua is right. We don't have many companions here. As far as we know, Quan Gua actually can't spend so much money. You can think about it again." consider."

Although the woman kept answering, her voice was lifeless because it was life, so she said: "Then how much can he pay?"

Quan Gua didn't ask anyone and said, "I can only give out 30,000 yuan."

The woman didn't answer. She leaned her head on her man's chest and cried.

When the two men saw this situation, they exchanged words with each other and said, "Quan Gua, you have received 35,000 yuan today, so just give it to them. Their orphans and widowed mothers are also very pitiful."

"Me." As soon as Quan Gua said "me", he couldn't continue. After a pause, he seemed to have made a lot of determination and said, "I'll give it."

The two men said to the woman: "Quan Hang has done his best, so don't embarrass him."

The woman said nothing, only nodded helplessly. The two men said to the people around them: "Carry Wuzi down, let his woman take a bath, and then cremate him."

The real director picked up the woman, and the black man carried Wu Zi on his back. Cheng Ying really couldn't stand it anymore, how could she let things go like this?

He stepped over with one foot, but was immediately grabbed by a hand.

Cheng Ying looked back and saw the car, which shook its head at Cheng Ying.

Cheng Ying took her feet back, and what happened next was depressing. During the cremation, the dark man held the two remaining pieces of amber and handed them to Wuzi's two children and said, "You are not Do you ask uncle for this every day? Uncle will give it to you today."

The two children did not pick him up because they knew their father was dead and were in no mood to ask for anything.

The Heihei man stuffed the amber into their hands, feeling extremely confused. He also had such a pair of children in his family.

An hour later, when everything was over, the woman, holding her man's urn and her two children, got on a coal truck and went down the mountain...
