When Chen Qiutang rushed into the room of the older uncles in the film crew, the three uncles were sitting on the bed playing poker.The three pairs of eyes looked at the anxious child at the door with a strange expression, and their first reaction was to urgently cover their big underpants.

"Coal mines, all the lights on the coal mines are out!"

This night, the wind and snow in the weather forecast were even more impatient than the forecast.The members of the film crew hastily wrapped up their down jackets, led Chen Qiutang to climb to the top floor of the small hotel, and looked in the direction of the coal mine.That's right, even in the area that was brightly lit in the evening, now even the tower light of the main control station can't be found.

The owner of the hotel told them that the situation in the mountains is more complicated. It is estimated that the strong wind destroyed the power facilities and caused a partial power outage. After all, the generation of the hotel has not been affected.In addition to landslides, mines are most afraid of power outages, especially at night, which is too dangerous.In particular, there is no gas monitoring system after a power outage. If the gas concentration reaches the threshold and the power is turned on suddenly, as long as there are faults such as line wear and tear, a gas explosion may occur.

Chen Qiutang was born on this land, so he more or less knows these truths.Because of the tears that had just flowed across her face, her skin was stinging from the wind.This is a place where piss can freeze!

Chen Qiutang tightly tugged at the sleeves of the film crew leader, his expression never so flustered, "My aunt is down the well! I can't reach her, she must be trapped down there!"

……

The destruction of industrial electrical facilities is a serious accident, and every second counts for emergency repair tasks.When Chen Qiutang was taken to the coal mine site by the team leader uncle, the cordon had already been pulled up.There are too many workers trapped in the mine, and if any unexpected situation occurs, it will be a major accident on the news. Two police cars and two ambulances are already on standby outside the cordon.

Except for the police cars and the flashlights that the people brought, there was no light source here.The mountain ahead is hidden in a dangerous night, and there is no trace of life.A squad of policemen had assembled and entered the laneway to meet the workers. Chen Qiutang tried to get through the cordon, but was stopped by sharp-eyed policemen, who stuffed him back into the arms of the captain's uncle, and severely reprimanded him.

Chen Qiutang calmed down, she found a good viewing angle outside the warning line, and stared at the vague entrance of the alleyway.Eyes blurred, close your eyes slowly, and then continue.

Half an hour ago, the sudden power outage occurred just after Lilac finished replacing the last faulty sensor.After all, everyone wears searchlights on their heads, and the light in the alleyway is not much less.It's just that when the mine cart made a "cha la cha la" sound on the rails and stopped instantly, Ye Congxin and Ding Xiang heard the workers around them scolding their mothers one after another in unison.

"Speedy, Huihuihui!" The worker who looked like a foreman shouted, his rough voice was naturally amplified in the alleyway, majestic and majestic.

"Gong Ye, Gong Ding, don't be in a hurry. Let's go out quickly, there will be no danger." The worker who accompanied them said so comfortingly.

With the support of Ding Xiang, Ye Congxin followed the team of coal miners back, and they wanted to get out of the tunnel as soon as possible.At any time, when there is a power failure or power transmission in the tunnel, it should be ensured that there is no one in it, otherwise it will always be dangerous, so they must all exit the tunnel first.But at this time, the communication has been interrupted, and they don't know what the reason for the power outage is, so there is a big stone hanging in everyone's heart.

If the reason for the power outage is strange, the control panel has no time to pull down the power switch, and the power will be restored. At this time, the workers have not yet left the mine, and it is too easy to die.This possibility is very small, but it is not impossible. In the past, various accidents in coal mines were always caused by people who thought the probability was extremely low.

The workers walked and chatted, although everyone was nervous, but they didn't want to show it.Everyone is a kind elder brother. Knowing that Ye Gong, who is traveling with her, is in poor health and walks slowly, she slows down and waits for her. No one complains that she is causing trouble to everyone.Ye Congxin and Ding Xiang supported each other tightly, walking forward in the stagnant water, Ding Xiang let her walk on the side where the stagnant water was shallower, and he was hiding in the further part of the transmission track. Walk in dangerous places.

The length of the roadway is nearly two kilometers. According to their speed, they may not be able to get out for a while.Ye Congxin did not forget to wear a special PM2.5 mask this time. The sound of breathing was amplified several times in the mask, which made her nervous.Fortunately, Ding Xiang often talks to her, no matter what the topic is, as long as she can hear her voice, she can feel more at ease.

Gradually, the normal chat between Ye Congxin and Dingxiang turned into whispers.Their original intention was to preserve their strength and adjust their breathing, but it was inevitable that they would appear to be too intimate like biting their ears.

"Imagine we die here together." Ye Congxin said.She thought of her mother again.If she died here today, can it be said that she gave her life to ensure the safety of the industry, and is it comparable to Chen Nian's sacrifice?She looked up at the wet and dark alleyway wall, this thought didn't make her feel any easier, on the contrary, she was even more frightened.

"It's good, that's a lifetime." Ding Xiang lowered her eyes and said with a smile.The voice was like the warm spring breeze, bringing Ye Congxin's thoughts back to reality.

Ye Congxin said: "Let's go out and live a longer life. Now that I'm dead, I haven't even written my will."

"What kind of will do you write? Besides Tiantian, there is no one who can divide your property, right?"

Ye Congxin said that sentence just now without thinking.Today, her plan for disposing of her property after her untimely death remains the same as before.Half is given to Tian Tian - this is the obligation of raising; the other half is given to Cheng Cheng.She was worried that Cheng Cheng would not be able to get married for many years. In order to avoid the family's urging marriage, she might still need to buy a house by herself.Her carefree moonlight family, if he doesn't help her, where will he get the money for the down payment?

But at this moment when Ding Xiang asked this question, Ye Congxin finally got his eyes on it in time.She smiled and said, "You are the one who divides the property."

Ye Congxin clearly felt that Ding Xiang lowered her head. She went to check her expression, but couldn't see it.Ding Xiang was silent for a moment, and said: "I died with you, how can there be any property to divide?"

"That's right. It's cheap and sweet."

Later, Ding Xiang's mood obviously improved.She actually walked with difficulty while singing their seaside songs in Ye Congxin's ear.I don't know, I thought it was just a field trip.The two coal miners in front were also led by her to hum and play Erren Zhuan, but they were scolded by the elder brother of the worker in front to stop.

Ding Xiang also stopped singing, stuck out her tongue slyly, but accidentally tasted the smell of soot.Suddenly, she had an idea, and rubbed her hand against the wall of the alleyway until it was covered in black, and then took Ye Congxin's hand with her clean hand.

"What if he really dies here?" Ding Xiang asked expectantly.

"Look at you like this... there is no atmosphere of dying..."

Ye Congxin didn't know what she wanted to do. The searchlights on their heads shone behind each other, creating a bright space between them.Ding Xiang's eyes were full of inexplicable expectations, and Ye Congxin was vaguely impatient because he couldn't guess what to expect.

"If we die here, we need a ceremony. If we go out alive and live a longer life, then we still need a guarantee."

Of course, Ding Xiang said this very closely.Ye Congxin still didn't understand.

Ding Xiang sighed slightly, took Ye Congxin's left hand, and used her dirty hand to draw a full circle at the root of her ring finger.Then did the same thing to myself.Under the searchlight, the hands of the two of them were already covered with dirt and black, but the thick and ugly black circle at the root of the ring finger was still very prominent.

"If you can't get out, it will be a lifetime."

Ye Congxin was stunned for a long time, and he put away his fingers and clenched into fists, "The whole body of natural ore is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the workmanship is fine, and there is no copycat. Good."

……

When he finally got out of the alleyway, Ye Congxin heard a hoarse shout.The flashing lights of ambulances and police cars in the distance made people dizzy, and there were people all around.One of them got through the warning line and rushed towards this side at an alarming speed. Ye Congxin stared at the shadow with wide eyes. She couldn't see anything clearly, but read a name vaguely: " Sweet."

"Tiantian?" Ding Xiang asked in surprise, "No way, why is she here?"

But in the next second, that leopard-like figure had rushed over and threw himself on Ye Congxin, almost falling to the ground.Ye Congxin was hugged tightly by the visitor, and her nose, which was used to the earthy smell in the alley, instantly caught a trace of the familiar smell of laundry soap. Ye Congxin was shocked. When she realized it, she found that she had used up It was Heitu's dirty hands rubbing Chen Qiutang's hair.

Chen Qiutang lay on her shoulder and cried again, his body trembling, he hugged her hard, but couldn't break free no matter what.

"Hey... I'm going to die..."

Chen Qiutang finally let her go, the tears on her face were mixed with the dirt rubbed from Ye Congxin's body, her hair was also messed up, she looked even more embarrassed than Ye Congxin and Dingxiang now.

"Ding, Dingxiang..." She muttered in a low voice, and gave Dingxiang a big hug.

……

The power outage at the Cangtou Coal Mine did not come as a surprise, and the documentary film crew also completed the setting tasks on the third day and rushed back to Beijing.Chen Qiutang stayed behind, and after Ye Congxin and the others finally completed the acceptance check at this stop, they drove home with them.

Even though they were safe and sound, the three of them recalled what happened that night, and they still had a kind of fear for the rest of their lives.As long as there are contingencies, people will die, but there are many kinds of contingencies, but there is only one possibility of survival.In a way, how lucky they are to be able to see the light again together.

Sitting in the back seat, Chen Qiutang looked at the profiles of the two people in front, and felt that everyone was there, which was really great.

"Yezi, I think, I'd better tell you something...my plan." Ding Xiang clasped her hands, obviously a little nervous.

What she said was about hooking up with Chen Qiutang at that time and keeping Ye Congxin from it.These are matters of her own family, but they will inevitably involve Ye Congxin's life. She always hopes to take it easy and tell her when everything is ready and there will be no conflicts.But after experiencing this, she felt that it might be better to speak out now.

Her younger brother really wanted to come to Beijing to go to university, and so did her mother.Of course, the younger brother yearns for this city, while the mother thinks that Ding Yang can be taken care of by Ding Xiang when he comes to Beijing.Ding Xiang said: "I will try my best to persuade him not to come to Beijing for the exam."

Ye Congxin looked at the highway in front of him, gave a simple "hmm", paused, and said, "The main thing is to see how good a school he can get into. It doesn't matter what city he goes to."

Ding Xiang knew that this was Ye Congxin's hint: I don't care if he comes to Beijing or not, you don't have to ask for my opinion.

Ding Xiang continued: "I plan to work hard to earn money, and hope to reach a monthly salary of more than [-] within three years."

Ye Congxin smiled and said, "Of course that's good."

"Because... I want to take my mother to live here."

The smile on Ye Congxin's face faded a bit, but half of it remained, "If she comes..."

"I will rent a house for her!" Ding Xiang quickly explained, "I really can't let her live in Kuangdao alone. She has worked too hard... Now her life is too dependent on the care of her neighbors for a long time. How can I repay this love..."

Afterwards, the two were silent for a long time.They all knew that bringing Dingxiang's mother to Beijing was a ticking time bomb, and the chain reactions it brought about were piles and piles. Those reactions were beyond the tolerance of Ye Congxin, who was alone.But if you don't take it... Ye Congxin also knew that it was difficult for Qiang Dingxiang to do that.

If Ye Congxin were to tell the truth, she would definitely spit out a lot of shit.But she and the people around her still had a bit of earthy fragrance, and the black, greasy mark on her ring finger hadn't been washed off for a long time.

Chen Qiutang didn't dare to breathe in the back seat, she could only stare at the road ahead, watching Rosalind overtake one big truck after another.Count silently.When counting to thirteen, Ye Congxin removed his hand from the gear and took Ding Xiang's hand, "Okay, let's go step by step."

The author has something to say: In addition to the narrative function of the story itself, there is also my own selfishness in arranging this plot...

Because I have coal mine and oilfield automation engineers in my family, I know the dangers and hardships of this industry, so I would like to pay tribute to the engineers, especially the female engineers, who have devoted themselves to the industrial control industry of the motherland ORZ
