My family has a mine [Rebirth]
Chapter 59
Knowing that Xu Zheng was going to go to the mine with the rescue team, You Zhi had only one reaction: "Are you fucking crazy?"
In his opinion, Xu Zheng is young, impulsive, and just messes around here without knowing anything.
Rescue work is no different than other work, and it is equally dangerous. If you are not careful, a few more people may die on the original basis.
Those who participated in the rescue team were all people who had a good understanding of the structure and terrain of the mine.
Xu Zheng read the topographic map and memorized it in his heart.
He is not talented in learning, and like ordinary people, he relies on rote memorization, but he has a unique advantage in graphic memory.
As long as you have seen the pictures, you can never forget them.
"Where is the accident?" Xu Zheng asked the rescue captain beside him.
The captain pointed to him and said, "When we got there, the road in front of us collapsed and we couldn't get through."
The place where the accident happened was at the junction of several lanes, where people would hide and whether they were still alive, everything was uncertain.
"Have you searched these places?" Xu Zheng pointed to several locations on the map.
Captain: "Not yet."
Xu Zheng: "I'll look for it in these places later."
……
The two chatted word by word, You Zhi pulled Xu Zheng aside, and said in a low voice, "Hey, did you listen to me?"
Xu Zheng also wanted to ask him: "Where did you find the rescue team?"
So unprofessional.
"Where else can I go? On the mine." You Zhi looked irritated.
After being reminded by You Zhi, Xu Shi finally came to his senses.
He forgot.
In this era, in a small place like Guanle, there is no formal rescue team.
The coal boss did not dare to speak out when something happened in the mine, and secretly suppressed it.
Until a few years later, a reporter surnamed Zhang went deep into the coal mine, searched secretly for two or three years, and uncovered a huge mining accident ten years ago.
Due to poor mining equipment and poor safety conditions in the mine, the coal mine collapsed and killed 23 miners.
The matter was eventually settled with 5000 yuan per person as a hush fee and 10 yuan in compensation for the miners' families.
Reporter Zhang went deep into the interior, starting with the miners, to understand the incident bit by bit, and also found the staff of the local crematorium. The witnesses and material evidence were solid, and he wrote a report to expose the incident in one fell swoop.
After the report appeared, the local department sued the coal mine owner to the court. After this incident, a catastrophe was set off in the coal industry. The coal mine accidents many years ago were frequently reported, which made the coal mine owner have to pay attention to the safety of the coal mine.
This is the industry of rescue teams.
Prior to this, it was the default rule in the industry to give money to seal mines.
You Zhi's career has just started, and his conscience is still there, so he didn't choose to do this, so he organized a rescue.
Although the mine belonged to him, he didn't know anything about the situation in the mine, so he couldn't look at Xu Zheng like this and make a fool of himself: "I didn't go down, why did you go down, you are young, aren't you making trouble for them?"
Xu Zheng couldn't explain to him for a while.
The coal he has dug is more than the rice You Zhi has eaten.
Xu Zheng stared at him and asked, "Aren't you wondering why I chose you for business?"
"Curiosity." You Zhi thought about it for a long time afterwards but couldn't figure it out, and finally he didn't think about it.
"Wait for me to come up and tell you." Xu Zheng said.
"you……"
The rescue team leader persuaded: "Boss You, this little brother knows more than us, he will follow along, maybe there is still hope."
You Zhi was in a dilemma, but decided with pain: "No. They are my workers. If something happens, I will be responsible. If something happens to you, who will be responsible?"
"Stop talking nonsense here." Xu Zheng ignored his opinion, turned around and asked, "Where are the clothes? Give me a set."
Before leaving the mine, Xu Zheng told You Zhi one thing: "Coax my brother well."
Xu Shi fell asleep in the car.
Through the car window, Xu Zheng couldn't see the face in the car clearly, looked back at the window from a long distance, and entered the mine with them.
You Zhi in the mine was standing beside the car smoking, sparks flickered, one after another.
Soon, half a pack of cigarettes was empty, and there was a pile of scattered cigarette butts under my feet.
It was just dawn.
The car window was rolled down, Xu Shi looked around and saw no one, so he immediately asked, "Where's my brother?"
"I left you and ran away." You Zhi dropped the cigarette and stamped it out with his foot.
Xu Shi's complexion changed in an instant, his whole body was filled with low air pressure, and the way he looked at You Zhi made him feel strange.
"Hey, don't, don't, I'm joking with you." You Zhi immediately confessed, "Your brother has something to go out, so go home with your brother and have a good rest."
"When will he come back?" Xu Shi asked.
You Zhi rubbed his chin, guessed for a long time, and sighed melancholy: "I can't tell, tomorrow."
Xu Zheng and the rescue team entered the mine together. The road was full of potholes, and the miner's lamp above his head became the only light source inside. The humid and dark environment was like a hand strangling his neck.
It's suffocating.
The environment is still so bad.
Xu Zheng spent his youth in such a place in his previous life.
The roads in the mine are full of mud soup and stones, and there is no green in sight. Even a flat road is a luxury.
The piercing wind at the head of the well mixed with various harmful gases, dust, coal dust, and the high temperature. It was unbearable to stay for a second, but they stayed inside for more than ten hours.
Xu Zheng heard a saying from a worker, "After staying in the mine for a long time, I feel kind to even look at a grass."
Obviously surrounded by people he didn't know, the familiar scene in the mine pulled him back to his previous life.
Xu Zheng followed them.
They can't move fast, and each of them carries a flashlight to open the way if necessary.
The terrain inside the mine was far more complex than the above blueprint, with twists and turns, and countless forks in front of them. The rescue team had mining personnel in charge of this area and led them to the entrance of the accident.
The roads were so blocked that people inside couldn't get out and people outside couldn't get in.
Along the way, Xu Zheng kept the mine structure in mind.
The rescue team turned back here the last time they left the mine. This time they brought tools and made sufficient preparations to clear a path from here.
As soon as the work started, the rescue team leader hurriedly called to stop: "If you keep digging, the mine will collapse. Think of other ways."
Xu Zheng tapped the surrounding rock walls with his hands, and finally selected the thinnest place: "Punch a hole here, let's go in."
"Can it work?" Some people doubted.
Xu Zheng picked up the tool and began to knock, and then the second person joined.
Every time I knocked, a little dust fell on the wall.
The rescue team leader here is just the person who leads them to work on weekdays, and his nephew is trapped in the mine: "A year ago in the countryside, I promised my nephew a daughter-in-law, so I pointed out that I will work in the mine until the end of the year." , to earn enough money to build a house. I didn’t expect his life to be bad, and he didn’t know if he would be able to come out if something happened.”
Another voice confessed: "My dad is still inside, and it's all my fault. If he didn't owe so much money to the casino, he wouldn't follow the mine."
"If my brother-in-law hadn't been rescued, my sister would have been a widow at a young age."
……
Those who are willing to participate in the rescue are all related to the trapped people.
Otherwise, no one is willing to do such a thankless task no matter how much money is given.
It is tantamount to betting their lives on the safety of the people inside.
"Boss You hasn't given up yet, so why not?" The atmosphere became more and more sentimental, Xu Zheng couldn't stand it, and opened his mouth to break the sadness.
"That's right, we still have Boss You!" When they learned of the mine disaster, they all thought it was hopeless, and prepared to claim compensation, but they didn't expect that You Zhi's order to search and rescue gave them another way.
After this time, I believe that the people in the mine will work even harder for Youzhi.
Xu Zheng's words undoubtedly inspired all their motivation.
"Let's dig harder and try to rescue people as soon as possible." I don't know who said this, and everyone worked hard.
If anyone is exhausted, retreat to the back to rest and replace others.
To get through the mine tunnel, the most common method is to use it.
However, the current situation in the mine is unknown, and the force of the mine is too large, which may easily cause a second landslide.
They had to tap a little bit with their hands.
From futility to seeing hope, a hole finally appeared on the rock wall. I took a flashlight to shine it, and the light passed through it vertically. Someone exclaimed: "It's worn through."
If a hole can be opened, no matter how small it is, it will still pass.
Continuously attacking around the hole, the sound of knocking was mixed together, and the stones were seen collapsing in piles, and the exposed hole was getting bigger and bigger.
I don't know how long it took, but with a loud bang, a big hole in the wall that one person could pass through was chiseled out.
Three or four flashlights shone into the cave at the same time, and the ground was filled with water, turning into a small lake.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they suddenly turned cold.
Xu Shi was taken back to his home by You Zhi, and Xu Shi's eyes were blinded by the resplendent decoration style.
You Zhi greeted him: "You can sit wherever you want, you can sleep wherever you want tonight, you can choose the guest room upstairs."
"Are you hungry, do you need me to get you something to eat?" You Zhi asked with concern.
Xu Zheng's younger brother is also his younger brother.
Xu Shi politely declined: "No need. By the way, what's the matter with my brother?"
You Zhi's eyes flashed back, and he said against his will: "How would I know that?"
"Don't you know?" Xu Shi asked quietly, staring at him without blinking.
You Zhi didn't want to admit that he was intimidated by such a brat, so he simply had a showdown with him: "He won't let you talk."
Xu Shi's expression was lonely for a moment, his eyes were lowered, he didn't know what he was thinking.
You Zhi was also deceived by his appearance, coaxing: "Don't be sad, let me take you to the guest room where Xu Zheng lived first?"
Xu Shi replied softly: "En."
You Zhi's cousin, You Xin, is skinny and skinny, and what he said made people want to take off his pants and spank his ass hard.
Unlike Xu Shi, he looks good.
You Zhi was afraid that Xu Zheng would not be able to coax Xu Zheng back to settle accounts with him.
Xu Shi was lying on the bed where Xu Zheng had been, staying alone in a strange place, and only the place where Xu Zheng had lived could bring him comfort.
Where have you been?
Why don't you tell me every time.
If this happens again, I will be angry.
Xu Shi grabbed the quilt in his hand, imagining it as Xu Zheng's hair, and pulled it hard twice.
under the mine.
Xu Zheng had a headache.
He finally understood what the cause of the accident was, groundwater infiltration.
During the mining process, tunnels were dug through, causing water to flood into the mine, which, coupled with small landslides, blocked the exit.
Lakes of groundwater mock their futility.
Someone couldn't hold back and cried out: "This is a fart."
They had been digging without sleep for so long, and finally smashed through a hole, and in the end they got this thing in exchange.
"What if?" It's come to this point, and there are still some people holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
A groundwater leak is also better than a gas explosion. The former may still survive if trapped inside, but the latter will have to be left underground forever if it cannot escape.
The closest Xu Zheng was to death was a gas explosion.
The explosion caused by the high concentration of gas in the air shook the entire mine, and the workers ran out desperately. Xu Zheng's master, Mr. Chen, was crushed under the mine.
Mr. Chen was the one who led him in hand in hand. Mr. Chen told him all Xu Zheng's knowledge about the mine.
Old Chen's legs were crushed tightly by the pillars and he couldn't move.
The concentration of gas in the air is constantly increasing.
"Let's go." Old Chen advised him.
Everyone around ran away, only the two of them remained.
Xu Zheng tried to pull him out, but he couldn't do anything.
Mr. Chen couldn't help but be moved by Xu Zheng's hard work: "You are still young, there is no need to risk your life for me. You can't tell when the second explosion will happen later, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
At that time, Xu Zheng couldn't care about anything, he just wanted to take people out of the mine.
"Give me the knife." Old Chen said decisively.
With the knife in hand, Mr. Chen cut off the leg that was pressed under the pillar with his own hands, and said weakly, "Come on, carry me out."
Xu Zheng ran all the way with the person on his back, blood dripped on the passing road, black and red.
When he escaped from the mine, the clothes on Xu Zheng's back were soaked, half sweat and half blood.
In that accident, Mr. Chen lost a leg, but in return, he saved his entire life.
The disabled Mr. Chen can no longer work in the mine, and was transferred to other positions after receiving the compensation. Fortunately, he has excellent professional knowledge and can still live well without working in the mine.
Especially after the hidden dangers of coal mine safety were exposed to a large extent, Mr. Chen joined the local rescue team.
Xu Zheng and the rescue team broke down emotionally when they saw the lake after they dug through the wall.
"My dad can't swim." The wail sounded like mourning.
A irascible old man couldn't help but punched him: "Cry, cry, cry, cry, I want to see people, I want to see corpses, even if it's a corpse, I have to carry it up and bury it in peace, mom!" Yes, what does it look like to stay in the mine."
"Stop arguing, let's eat something first, let's go in and look for it." The captain of the rescue team arranged.
What they brought in their bags were compressed biscuits, which took up less space and were quite filling. It was not easy to eat them on weekdays. You Zhi bought them from the supermarket specially in fear of their lack of physical strength.
A bag of biscuits and a bottle of water can last for several days.
Xu Zheng took two hasty bites, poured several sips of water into his mouth, approached the hole, and listened to the sound of water flowing.
Old Chen's experience is still in my ears: "If you find the source of the leak, you will find the person."
Where the water came from indicates where the miners were at the time of the accident.
The darkness heightens the sense of hearing.
From blurry to clear, Xu Zheng opened his eyes and concluded: "Left."
The water flows down from the front left, and it should not be far away when the accident happened.
A group of people go to the left.
Walk along the water's edge, step on it, the water depth is below the calf, and the depth in the middle of the lake is immeasurable.
After walking for several hours with a flashlight and touching the rock wall, they came to the place where the groundwater leaked.
A pile of stones were placed at the entrance of the cave, which could only reduce the speed of the water flow. Within a week, the whole place would be flooded.
"anyone there?"
"Where are you, baby?"
"Embolic, embolus, can you hear embolus?"
The shouts echoed in the cave, and the only response to them was the water flowing from the cracks in the stone.
"Squeak, creak." A mouse appeared beside Xu Zheng at some point and passed by his feet.
There is such a tradition in the mine that if you meet a mouse, you can't hit it.
On the contrary, the rat under the mine is revered.
Where there are mice, it means that there is oxygen.
Once the mice moved together, they knew that the mine was about to collapse.
So the rats in the mine are not only a scourge, but also a benefactor of their miners.
They are also burrowers, and mice can be regarded as their predecessors.
Often the miners would distribute endless steamed buns to these mice.
Xu Zheng lowered his head, the miner's lamp above his head illuminated the road clearly, and the rats fled along the side stones, there were not only one, but seven or eight rats.
These mice are all coming from the same direction.
"Let's go and have a look." Xu Zheng followed the direction the mouse came from and walked to one of the branches.
The terrain here is much higher than the surrounding area, and the water is only half submerged. If you go further in, the road is dry.
The further you go, the narrower the road is, and you can only pass with your waist bent.
"Who?" A voice suddenly came from inside the cave, full of vigilance.
Xu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and the rescue team leader who followed behind him wept with joy: "Shuanzi!"
With a clang, the man dropped his weapon and shouted, "Uncle!"
This cry made the people behind them restless and kept digging in.
After walking through this narrow path, the inside is much more spacious, where the trapped people spent the past few days.
Six people, not one more.
They didn't care about the dirt on their bodies, the joy of their relatives' reunion made them hug together, Xu Zheng was left aside in the cold, he picked up a mouse casually, and lifted its tail, the mouse dangling in the air kept chirping, with short limbs Struggling like hell.
Xu Zheng mentioned it for a while, then let the mouse go.
Thanks to it leading the way, they found these people in the mine.
The people in the mine are talking all over the place:
"I thought I'd never see you again."
"How did you find it?"
"We also tried to go out, but the entrance of the cave was blocked. I thought I was going to die here."
……
Xu Zheng found a wooden board and sat down.
A piece of wood is a good seat for coal miners. Don’t expect to find a clean place to rest in the mine. When you are tired, it is already a kind of enjoyment to lean on a piece of wood.
After the warmth, someone's stomach rang: "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry. "
The rescue teammates took out their food one after another: "Eat quickly, let's go out when we are full."
They began to evacuate along the way they came. Just as they came out of the cave, due to excessive water pressure and a sudden increase in water pressure, the stone pile blocked in the water hole was washed away, and the rock wall beside the hole was washed away. The hole the size of a hole suddenly expanded to the size of a fist, and the water seeped into the mine.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the mine is about to flood."
A group of people ran away with all their strength, but when they came, the water level in their calves kept rising, and the higher they walked, the slower they walked. Some people accidentally fell during the escape process, and were quickly picked up by the people around them and then fled.
Running in the water, the sound of the water one after another disturbs the heart, the time is getting tighter, and every minute and every second is racing against fate.
By the time they returned to the hole they had dug in the wall, the water had risen to their waists.
People were climbing out one by one, and when Xu Zheng escaped, the water was about to rise to the entrance of the cave, and the water inside was at least one meter deep.
They left there all the materials they could use at hand, plugging up the holes they had dug.
When they came up from the mine, they were all exhausted.
Xu Zheng's body was covered with a mixture of mud, sand and coal ash, and there was no clean spot all over his body.
The time in the mine is unknown, but three days have passed since they left the mine.
Just coming out of the mine where you can't see your fingers, the sun above your head is too strong, Xu Zheng shielded his eyes with his hands, and saw You Zhi who had been guarding the mine all the time: "The groundwater is leaking, hurry up and send someone to build an airtight wall."
"By the way, didn't you let Xu Shi know?" Xu Zheng asked again with concern.
You Zhi smiled wryly, and moved a step to the side to reveal Xu Shi behind him.
On Xu Shi's face, he had the ugliest expression he had ever seen in his life.
"Trash." Xu Zheng was furious, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Before Xu Zheng was exhausted and passed out, he vaguely heard Xu Shi calling him.
On the second night when Xu Zheng entered the mine, Xu Shi blocked You Zhi at the door of the room and followed him every step of the way. Wherever You Zhi went, he went.
It made You Zhi dare not even go out to the mine to have a look.
For Xu Shi, he couldn't beat him, nor could he scold him.
He looked at Xu Shi with all his heart.
But turning around, Xu Shi tortured him mentally.
"Young master, can you let me go?" You Zhichang was so old, how could he have been wronged like this.
If anyone dares to provoke him, just ask his subordinates to beat him up.
His father is rich, and he can afford to pay whatever money he gets into the hospital.
In his life, he has been planted in the hands of two people.
One is Huo Junning and the other is Xu Shi.
The former is his wife and he is willing, but where did Xu Shi come from?
"Where's Xu Zheng?" That's all Xu Shi said.
His current expression has degenerated to the point that it is almost like a robot, cold and emotionless: "After 48 hours, you can call the police."
"Can't you make trouble for me?" You Zhi begged him.
Neither of these two brothers made him feel at ease.
Xu Shi persisted, "Where's Xu Zheng?"
You Zhi was so annoyed: "Repeater, you?"
"I'll go find him." Xu Shi decided to go out alone.
You Zhi pulled him back: "Don't, if you lose it, your brother won't kill me when he comes back."
Xu Shi persisted: "What about others?"
"In the mine." You Zhi retreated.
Xu Shi and You Zhi were waiting by the side of the mine.
"If there is anything wrong with Xu Zheng, I will expose you." Xu Shi threatened him.
The two waited for a whole day, and finally waited for Xu Zheng who came out of it.
It looked like it had just been fished out of a mud pit.
When Xu Zheng woke up, Xu Shi lay beside him, pressing his quilt, leaving only a fluffy head.
As soon as Xu Zheng moved his hand, Xu Shi woke up, looking at him with anger.
"Are you awake?" Xu Zheng asked him.
"you……"
Xu Zheng smelled the familiar soot smell on his body, got up from the bed, and went into the bathroom immediately: "What's the matter, wait until I come out."
He changed his clothes, but after staying in the mine for so many days, the smell on his body made him unbearable.
As soon as Xu Zheng came out, Xu Shi sat at the door and confronted him: "I can't control you anymore."
"You can't listen to what I tell you."
"I'm disappointed in you."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zheng was taken aback.
Isn't this what he usually said to Xu Shi? Why is it now his turn to say it from Xu Shi's mouth?
"I'm going to tell Mom about this time." Xu Shi hit the nail on the head.
Xu Zheng panicked: "You don't have to come here, I will promise you whatever you ask for, okay?"
Xu Shi glanced at him disappointedly: "Your words have no credibility."
"What exactly do you want?" Xu Zheng sighed and discussed with him.
"I want you to be beaten up by mom." Xu Shi retaliated. Only in this way can the hatred in his heart be eliminated.
"Can you beat me up?" Xu Zheng grabbed Xu Shi's hand and put it on his body.
Xu Shi was at a loss and almost cried out of anger.
Pushing people into a hurry is the end, Xu Zheng has to coax him, he hugged Xu Shi: "Don't cry."
Xu Shi moved closer to Xu Zheng's wrist, and took a hard bite on it, leaving a ring of teeth marks.
"Did I come at the wrong time?" You Zhi asked aloud as he opened the door halfway and popped his head.
Received two impatient gazes at the same time, You Zhi retreated silently and closed the door behind him.
Xu Zheng had never coaxed anyone before. When Xu Shi calmed down, he reached out and wiped away Xu Shi's tears: "I promised to grow up, why is it like a child, crying at every turn."
"Let's go back to Qianfeng." Xu Shi demanded.
"Leave tomorrow." Xu Zheng let go of him, "I'm going to talk to You Zhi about something, and I'll be back soon."
As soon as he went out, You Zhi received Xu Zheng's contemptuous gaze.
Asking him to help coax Xu Shi, even this little thing can't be done well.
You Zhi raised his hand to complain for himself: "It's not my fault, it's because your brother is too smart, you can't hide anything from him."
Two days ago, You Zhi was still envious, but now he misses his silly brother You Xin very much.
People are a bit wild, but they are better than coaxing.
Give some money and be happy.
You Zhi came back this time because of the coal mine: "Thanks to you, the people in the mine were saved. They were talking about sending you a pennant, but I stopped it."
"Do you want it? You want me to supply it to you." You Zhi added.
"No need." Xu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
"The pennant can be saved, but this one, you will definitely like it." You Zhi shook the contract in his hand.
"What is this?" Xu Zheng was puzzled.
"Half the shares in the coal mine." You Zhi said.
"There are not one or two people who call me brothers and sisters, but they are only after the money in my hand. You are different, you are my real brother." You Zhi said with emotion, "I originally wanted to give you the mine, but it's a pity I don’t make much money, so thinking about sending you off isn’t cheating you? I’ll give you half of the shares, so you won’t have to pay for it when you come to the mine to pull coal.”
Xu Zheng joined the rescue team, not all because of You Zhi, but more because of his character.
Hope is at hand, why not save the people below?
Unexpectedly, You Zhi's repayment came so realistically.
If You Zhi wants to be nice to someone, that is to be nice to him from the bottom of his heart.
His brother would do anything as long as he had it.
Xu Zheng took over the contract: "There is no need to sign the contract, just pay on time every month."
You Zhi choked him: "Do you want money, but a pile of coal."
After finding out the cause of the accident, You Zhi sent people to rebuild the airtight wall, seal off the groundwater leak, re-plan the route in the mine, and returned 2000 yuan in compensation to the miners who were in distress.
Knowing that Xu Zheng will return to Qianfeng tomorrow, You Zhi was surprised: "So urgent?"
Xu Zheng glanced inside the room.
You Zhi understood and gave him a sympathetic look.
He understands, he understands it all.
During the National Day, it was difficult to buy a return ticket. All of this did not bother You Zhi. He added money and got two train tickets from the ticket dealer.
In this era, the real-name system has not yet been implemented, and ticket dealers can be seen everywhere, and they are very rampant.
When the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about.
On Xu Zheng's last night in Guan Le, You Zhi tried to ask: "Shall I take you to a foot bath to relax?"
"Go by yourself." Xu Zheng didn't want to refuse.
"Is my brother going?" You Zhi who was rejected was not discouraged, and turned around to ask Xu Shi.
Sure enough, it was rejected a second time.
You Zhi went out to Foot Bath City by himself, and there were only the two of them left in the villa.
Xu Shi has been suppressing his temper these days, he wanted to vent but couldn't find a way.
He is still young, what he says at home has no weight, and no one will listen to him.
When can I grow up.
He no longer wants to endure this feeling of powerlessness.
He won't be a kid forever.
He also has people he cares about the most.
But he can't do anything.
Will things be different when he grows up?
When Xu Zheng came out of the mine, he felt that Xu Shi didn't want to get close to him.
The two share a room, a two-meter-wide bed with enough room in the middle to sleep another person.
Xu Zheng took the initiative to mention: "Are you still angry?"
"No." Xu Shi replied bluntly.
"I'm not angry that you are so far away." Xu Zheng didn't believe it.
Xu Shi: "Hot."
With the weather in October, the air conditioner does not need to be turned on at night, and this reason seems extremely far-fetched.
Xu Zheng waited for a while, but Xu Shi had no desire to talk to him, so he closed his eyes: "Go to bed early, I'll be home tomorrow."
Only at this time did Xu Shi speak out: "When will you stop treating me like a child?"
"How old are you?" Xu Zheng thought for a while, "When you become an adult."
"When I'm an adult, you have to treat me as an adult." Xu Shi asked him for confirmation.
Xu Zheng agreed: "Okay."
After a while, I forgot.
Even if he is an adult, in Xu Zheng's heart, he will always be a younger brother.
The next morning, You Zhi drove them to the station, and You Zhi said regretfully, "If the mine couldn't leave, I would send you back."
It just so happens that I can go to Qianfeng for a vacation.
No, just after something happened, he had to check all the equipment, what should be repaired, what should be replaced, and the safety education of the mine employees. He compiled a safety manual thicker than a brick, requiring everyone to back.
There are also occasional exams and spot checks.
Those who are qualified will stay, and those who are unqualified will be sent back for a make-up exam.
Of course, it's not all bad. You can get a bonus of 1 yuan if you take the No. 1000 exam, which is also a generous reward.
After You Zhi sent them over, he didn't stay any longer, and went back to work on his mine affairs.
The seven-day National Day holiday, after such a toss, there are less than two days left in the blink of an eye.
It took a day just to drive home.
When Xu Zheng and Xu Shi arrived at Qianfeng, it was already five o'clock in the evening.
In the car for a long time, there is nothing to pass the time except eating. They either look at the trees or eat, so that after getting off the car, the two of them are still overwhelmed.
At night, Xu Zheng mentioned one of the most important things: "You haven't started your homework yet, have you?"
Xu Shi was stunned, under Xu Zheng's supervision, he couldn't even run away.
On the first night back in Qianfeng, Xu Shi was pressed on the desk to do homework, sighing while doing it.
Alas, when will he grow up?
Less than a month after the start of school, Xu Shi brought back more than a dozen papers, one for each subject, and the weight of each subject was uneven.
In just a few days, Xu Shi did his homework for a month.
During the day, when Xu’s parents returned from a trip, both of them had four hands full, and they brought back so many local specialties that they couldn’t even open the door.
Xu Zheng opened the door for them, and took the things in Wang Yeping's hands: "What did you buy, it's so heavy?"
"It's not your father who is clamoring that the tea there is good, and this big bag belongs to him." Wang Yeping glanced at the house and asked, "Hey, what about Xu Shi?"
"Do homework in the room." Xu Zheng explained.
Wang Yeping immediately lowered the volume: "Has he changed his temper? Okay, then let's keep our voice down and don't disturb him."
"Go, go, pack your tea leaves quickly." Wang Yeping urged Xu Jingyan softly.
Xu Jingyan picked out a pile of tea from it, and said to Xu Zheng: "When school starts, you take some to school."
On the night when Xu's parents came back, they cooked a very sumptuous dinner.
They are all well-known local ingredients, and those that won't last long are simply cooked tonight.
Wearing an apron, Wang Yeping said without turning her head, "The meal is almost ready, call Xu Shi out to eat."
Xu Shi was so focused that he didn't even hear Xu Zheng's footsteps, and buried himself in the sea of questions.
Xu Zheng stood beside him for a while, knocking on the table to remind him: "Go out for dinner."
"Wait a minute, I'll finish this question first." Xu Shi's train of thought was going smoothly at the moment, and he was reluctant to let go of the halfway point.
Xu Zheng didn't disturb him, and waited patiently for Xu Shi to finish the problem.
When Xu Shi came out, he was overly cared for by Wang Yeping: "Baby, why are you so good today?"
Xu Zheng shuddered.
Even Xu Shi silently hid behind him, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Mom?"
"I don't know." Xu Zheng replied.
"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and come over to eat, the food is cold." Wang Yeping's gentleness lasted no more than three seconds, and hurriedly said in a rough tone.
In this way, the whole family will feel comfortable.
"Doing homework is exhausting, eat more." Wang Yeping picked up a piece of fish for Xu Shi, "It's still necessary for your brother to be here. Once your brother comes back, it will save us a lot of worry."
I can start doing my homework in a while, what else is impossible?
Xu Shi was actually not happy at first.
Until Xu Zheng said: "You finish your homework, I promise you a request."
It was only then that Xu Shi acted like he was going crazy, turning the pages of the book clattering, finishing one paper after another.
On the evening of the [-]th, Xu Shi finished all his homework.
It only took a day.
After Xu Zheng's inspection, each piece was carefully made without any perfunctory.
"Don't you know how to do it?" Xu Zheng said with emotion.
Xu Shi's performance was beyond his imagination.
It seems that when Xu Shi occasionally plays with his mobile phone in class, he still listens to the teacher's lecture.
What Xu Zheng didn't know was that Xu Shi had never attended a class, and he had learned all this knowledge by himself.
When people are pushed into a hurry, they can do anything.
Tomorrow morning, Xu Zheng has to take the train back to school. Tonight is the last night he and Xu Shi will be together.
"Let's go set off the fireworks." Xu Shi suggested.
There were still unfinished fireworks in the house, which were hidden by Xu Shi, but this time they were found out all at once, and held in front of Xu Zheng.
"Okay." Xu Zheng agreed quickly.
Regardless of how silly it is to set off fireworks at this time.
After locking the door, Xu Zheng came to the open space with a bag of fireworks.
Before they started to set off, the fireworks exploded in the air.
It turned out that it wasn't just the two of them who were stupid.
Xu Shi, who had escaped from the sea of questions, seemed more excited than usual, and kept urging Xu Zheng to hurry up.
Xu Zheng ignited the cannon barrel, and heard the sound of biu, a dazzling beam of light rose straight into the sky, and then exploded in the dark night sky, dazzling and overflowing with light.
The fireworks they set off had just disappeared, and another firework lit up in the distant sky.
Xu Zheng puts one, and the other party puts one.
Just like this, they alternately set off and formed a kind of tacit understanding.
"Who's that on the opposite side? There's no end to it." Xu Shi complained.
The opponent's fireworks were about to disappear, and Xu Shi's fighting spirit was aroused: "Brother, let it go quickly, we can't lose to him!"
This round of battle lasted for four or five rounds, and in the end the opposite side couldn't let off fireworks and ended in dismal.
Xu Shi was happy, and lit three fireworks in a row, with three bubbiubiu beeps, which exploded in the air one after another, announcing their victory.
Xu Zheng laughed at him: "Isn't it childish?"
After a while, the fireworks that were reserved for the New Year's Eve were all set off at once.
All they were left with were fireworks in hand.
I lit one, and the dancing flames spread out to the surroundings. It burned very quickly, and I finished one in a short while.
In his opinion, Xu Zheng is young, impulsive, and just messes around here without knowing anything.
Rescue work is no different than other work, and it is equally dangerous. If you are not careful, a few more people may die on the original basis.
Those who participated in the rescue team were all people who had a good understanding of the structure and terrain of the mine.
Xu Zheng read the topographic map and memorized it in his heart.
He is not talented in learning, and like ordinary people, he relies on rote memorization, but he has a unique advantage in graphic memory.
As long as you have seen the pictures, you can never forget them.
"Where is the accident?" Xu Zheng asked the rescue captain beside him.
The captain pointed to him and said, "When we got there, the road in front of us collapsed and we couldn't get through."
The place where the accident happened was at the junction of several lanes, where people would hide and whether they were still alive, everything was uncertain.
"Have you searched these places?" Xu Zheng pointed to several locations on the map.
Captain: "Not yet."
Xu Zheng: "I'll look for it in these places later."
……
The two chatted word by word, You Zhi pulled Xu Zheng aside, and said in a low voice, "Hey, did you listen to me?"
Xu Zheng also wanted to ask him: "Where did you find the rescue team?"
So unprofessional.
"Where else can I go? On the mine." You Zhi looked irritated.
After being reminded by You Zhi, Xu Shi finally came to his senses.
He forgot.
In this era, in a small place like Guanle, there is no formal rescue team.
The coal boss did not dare to speak out when something happened in the mine, and secretly suppressed it.
Until a few years later, a reporter surnamed Zhang went deep into the coal mine, searched secretly for two or three years, and uncovered a huge mining accident ten years ago.
Due to poor mining equipment and poor safety conditions in the mine, the coal mine collapsed and killed 23 miners.
The matter was eventually settled with 5000 yuan per person as a hush fee and 10 yuan in compensation for the miners' families.
Reporter Zhang went deep into the interior, starting with the miners, to understand the incident bit by bit, and also found the staff of the local crematorium. The witnesses and material evidence were solid, and he wrote a report to expose the incident in one fell swoop.
After the report appeared, the local department sued the coal mine owner to the court. After this incident, a catastrophe was set off in the coal industry. The coal mine accidents many years ago were frequently reported, which made the coal mine owner have to pay attention to the safety of the coal mine.
This is the industry of rescue teams.
Prior to this, it was the default rule in the industry to give money to seal mines.
You Zhi's career has just started, and his conscience is still there, so he didn't choose to do this, so he organized a rescue.
Although the mine belonged to him, he didn't know anything about the situation in the mine, so he couldn't look at Xu Zheng like this and make a fool of himself: "I didn't go down, why did you go down, you are young, aren't you making trouble for them?"
Xu Zheng couldn't explain to him for a while.
The coal he has dug is more than the rice You Zhi has eaten.
Xu Zheng stared at him and asked, "Aren't you wondering why I chose you for business?"
"Curiosity." You Zhi thought about it for a long time afterwards but couldn't figure it out, and finally he didn't think about it.
"Wait for me to come up and tell you." Xu Zheng said.
"you……"
The rescue team leader persuaded: "Boss You, this little brother knows more than us, he will follow along, maybe there is still hope."
You Zhi was in a dilemma, but decided with pain: "No. They are my workers. If something happens, I will be responsible. If something happens to you, who will be responsible?"
"Stop talking nonsense here." Xu Zheng ignored his opinion, turned around and asked, "Where are the clothes? Give me a set."
Before leaving the mine, Xu Zheng told You Zhi one thing: "Coax my brother well."
Xu Shi fell asleep in the car.
Through the car window, Xu Zheng couldn't see the face in the car clearly, looked back at the window from a long distance, and entered the mine with them.
You Zhi in the mine was standing beside the car smoking, sparks flickered, one after another.
Soon, half a pack of cigarettes was empty, and there was a pile of scattered cigarette butts under my feet.
It was just dawn.
The car window was rolled down, Xu Shi looked around and saw no one, so he immediately asked, "Where's my brother?"
"I left you and ran away." You Zhi dropped the cigarette and stamped it out with his foot.
Xu Shi's complexion changed in an instant, his whole body was filled with low air pressure, and the way he looked at You Zhi made him feel strange.
"Hey, don't, don't, I'm joking with you." You Zhi immediately confessed, "Your brother has something to go out, so go home with your brother and have a good rest."
"When will he come back?" Xu Shi asked.
You Zhi rubbed his chin, guessed for a long time, and sighed melancholy: "I can't tell, tomorrow."
Xu Zheng and the rescue team entered the mine together. The road was full of potholes, and the miner's lamp above his head became the only light source inside. The humid and dark environment was like a hand strangling his neck.
It's suffocating.
The environment is still so bad.
Xu Zheng spent his youth in such a place in his previous life.
The roads in the mine are full of mud soup and stones, and there is no green in sight. Even a flat road is a luxury.
The piercing wind at the head of the well mixed with various harmful gases, dust, coal dust, and the high temperature. It was unbearable to stay for a second, but they stayed inside for more than ten hours.
Xu Zheng heard a saying from a worker, "After staying in the mine for a long time, I feel kind to even look at a grass."
Obviously surrounded by people he didn't know, the familiar scene in the mine pulled him back to his previous life.
Xu Zheng followed them.
They can't move fast, and each of them carries a flashlight to open the way if necessary.
The terrain inside the mine was far more complex than the above blueprint, with twists and turns, and countless forks in front of them. The rescue team had mining personnel in charge of this area and led them to the entrance of the accident.
The roads were so blocked that people inside couldn't get out and people outside couldn't get in.
Along the way, Xu Zheng kept the mine structure in mind.
The rescue team turned back here the last time they left the mine. This time they brought tools and made sufficient preparations to clear a path from here.
As soon as the work started, the rescue team leader hurriedly called to stop: "If you keep digging, the mine will collapse. Think of other ways."
Xu Zheng tapped the surrounding rock walls with his hands, and finally selected the thinnest place: "Punch a hole here, let's go in."
"Can it work?" Some people doubted.
Xu Zheng picked up the tool and began to knock, and then the second person joined.
Every time I knocked, a little dust fell on the wall.
The rescue team leader here is just the person who leads them to work on weekdays, and his nephew is trapped in the mine: "A year ago in the countryside, I promised my nephew a daughter-in-law, so I pointed out that I will work in the mine until the end of the year." , to earn enough money to build a house. I didn’t expect his life to be bad, and he didn’t know if he would be able to come out if something happened.”
Another voice confessed: "My dad is still inside, and it's all my fault. If he didn't owe so much money to the casino, he wouldn't follow the mine."
"If my brother-in-law hadn't been rescued, my sister would have been a widow at a young age."
……
Those who are willing to participate in the rescue are all related to the trapped people.
Otherwise, no one is willing to do such a thankless task no matter how much money is given.
It is tantamount to betting their lives on the safety of the people inside.
"Boss You hasn't given up yet, so why not?" The atmosphere became more and more sentimental, Xu Zheng couldn't stand it, and opened his mouth to break the sadness.
"That's right, we still have Boss You!" When they learned of the mine disaster, they all thought it was hopeless, and prepared to claim compensation, but they didn't expect that You Zhi's order to search and rescue gave them another way.
After this time, I believe that the people in the mine will work even harder for Youzhi.
Xu Zheng's words undoubtedly inspired all their motivation.
"Let's dig harder and try to rescue people as soon as possible." I don't know who said this, and everyone worked hard.
If anyone is exhausted, retreat to the back to rest and replace others.
To get through the mine tunnel, the most common method is to use it.
However, the current situation in the mine is unknown, and the force of the mine is too large, which may easily cause a second landslide.
They had to tap a little bit with their hands.
From futility to seeing hope, a hole finally appeared on the rock wall. I took a flashlight to shine it, and the light passed through it vertically. Someone exclaimed: "It's worn through."
If a hole can be opened, no matter how small it is, it will still pass.
Continuously attacking around the hole, the sound of knocking was mixed together, and the stones were seen collapsing in piles, and the exposed hole was getting bigger and bigger.
I don't know how long it took, but with a loud bang, a big hole in the wall that one person could pass through was chiseled out.
Three or four flashlights shone into the cave at the same time, and the ground was filled with water, turning into a small lake.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they suddenly turned cold.
Xu Shi was taken back to his home by You Zhi, and Xu Shi's eyes were blinded by the resplendent decoration style.
You Zhi greeted him: "You can sit wherever you want, you can sleep wherever you want tonight, you can choose the guest room upstairs."
"Are you hungry, do you need me to get you something to eat?" You Zhi asked with concern.
Xu Zheng's younger brother is also his younger brother.
Xu Shi politely declined: "No need. By the way, what's the matter with my brother?"
You Zhi's eyes flashed back, and he said against his will: "How would I know that?"
"Don't you know?" Xu Shi asked quietly, staring at him without blinking.
You Zhi didn't want to admit that he was intimidated by such a brat, so he simply had a showdown with him: "He won't let you talk."
Xu Shi's expression was lonely for a moment, his eyes were lowered, he didn't know what he was thinking.
You Zhi was also deceived by his appearance, coaxing: "Don't be sad, let me take you to the guest room where Xu Zheng lived first?"
Xu Shi replied softly: "En."
You Zhi's cousin, You Xin, is skinny and skinny, and what he said made people want to take off his pants and spank his ass hard.
Unlike Xu Shi, he looks good.
You Zhi was afraid that Xu Zheng would not be able to coax Xu Zheng back to settle accounts with him.
Xu Shi was lying on the bed where Xu Zheng had been, staying alone in a strange place, and only the place where Xu Zheng had lived could bring him comfort.
Where have you been?
Why don't you tell me every time.
If this happens again, I will be angry.
Xu Shi grabbed the quilt in his hand, imagining it as Xu Zheng's hair, and pulled it hard twice.
under the mine.
Xu Zheng had a headache.
He finally understood what the cause of the accident was, groundwater infiltration.
During the mining process, tunnels were dug through, causing water to flood into the mine, which, coupled with small landslides, blocked the exit.
Lakes of groundwater mock their futility.
Someone couldn't hold back and cried out: "This is a fart."
They had been digging without sleep for so long, and finally smashed through a hole, and in the end they got this thing in exchange.
"What if?" It's come to this point, and there are still some people holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
A groundwater leak is also better than a gas explosion. The former may still survive if trapped inside, but the latter will have to be left underground forever if it cannot escape.
The closest Xu Zheng was to death was a gas explosion.
The explosion caused by the high concentration of gas in the air shook the entire mine, and the workers ran out desperately. Xu Zheng's master, Mr. Chen, was crushed under the mine.
Mr. Chen was the one who led him in hand in hand. Mr. Chen told him all Xu Zheng's knowledge about the mine.
Old Chen's legs were crushed tightly by the pillars and he couldn't move.
The concentration of gas in the air is constantly increasing.
"Let's go." Old Chen advised him.
Everyone around ran away, only the two of them remained.
Xu Zheng tried to pull him out, but he couldn't do anything.
Mr. Chen couldn't help but be moved by Xu Zheng's hard work: "You are still young, there is no need to risk your life for me. You can't tell when the second explosion will happen later, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
At that time, Xu Zheng couldn't care about anything, he just wanted to take people out of the mine.
"Give me the knife." Old Chen said decisively.
With the knife in hand, Mr. Chen cut off the leg that was pressed under the pillar with his own hands, and said weakly, "Come on, carry me out."
Xu Zheng ran all the way with the person on his back, blood dripped on the passing road, black and red.
When he escaped from the mine, the clothes on Xu Zheng's back were soaked, half sweat and half blood.
In that accident, Mr. Chen lost a leg, but in return, he saved his entire life.
The disabled Mr. Chen can no longer work in the mine, and was transferred to other positions after receiving the compensation. Fortunately, he has excellent professional knowledge and can still live well without working in the mine.
Especially after the hidden dangers of coal mine safety were exposed to a large extent, Mr. Chen joined the local rescue team.
Xu Zheng and the rescue team broke down emotionally when they saw the lake after they dug through the wall.
"My dad can't swim." The wail sounded like mourning.
A irascible old man couldn't help but punched him: "Cry, cry, cry, cry, I want to see people, I want to see corpses, even if it's a corpse, I have to carry it up and bury it in peace, mom!" Yes, what does it look like to stay in the mine."
"Stop arguing, let's eat something first, let's go in and look for it." The captain of the rescue team arranged.
What they brought in their bags were compressed biscuits, which took up less space and were quite filling. It was not easy to eat them on weekdays. You Zhi bought them from the supermarket specially in fear of their lack of physical strength.
A bag of biscuits and a bottle of water can last for several days.
Xu Zheng took two hasty bites, poured several sips of water into his mouth, approached the hole, and listened to the sound of water flowing.
Old Chen's experience is still in my ears: "If you find the source of the leak, you will find the person."
Where the water came from indicates where the miners were at the time of the accident.
The darkness heightens the sense of hearing.
From blurry to clear, Xu Zheng opened his eyes and concluded: "Left."
The water flows down from the front left, and it should not be far away when the accident happened.
A group of people go to the left.
Walk along the water's edge, step on it, the water depth is below the calf, and the depth in the middle of the lake is immeasurable.
After walking for several hours with a flashlight and touching the rock wall, they came to the place where the groundwater leaked.
A pile of stones were placed at the entrance of the cave, which could only reduce the speed of the water flow. Within a week, the whole place would be flooded.
"anyone there?"
"Where are you, baby?"
"Embolic, embolus, can you hear embolus?"
The shouts echoed in the cave, and the only response to them was the water flowing from the cracks in the stone.
"Squeak, creak." A mouse appeared beside Xu Zheng at some point and passed by his feet.
There is such a tradition in the mine that if you meet a mouse, you can't hit it.
On the contrary, the rat under the mine is revered.
Where there are mice, it means that there is oxygen.
Once the mice moved together, they knew that the mine was about to collapse.
So the rats in the mine are not only a scourge, but also a benefactor of their miners.
They are also burrowers, and mice can be regarded as their predecessors.
Often the miners would distribute endless steamed buns to these mice.
Xu Zheng lowered his head, the miner's lamp above his head illuminated the road clearly, and the rats fled along the side stones, there were not only one, but seven or eight rats.
These mice are all coming from the same direction.
"Let's go and have a look." Xu Zheng followed the direction the mouse came from and walked to one of the branches.
The terrain here is much higher than the surrounding area, and the water is only half submerged. If you go further in, the road is dry.
The further you go, the narrower the road is, and you can only pass with your waist bent.
"Who?" A voice suddenly came from inside the cave, full of vigilance.
Xu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and the rescue team leader who followed behind him wept with joy: "Shuanzi!"
With a clang, the man dropped his weapon and shouted, "Uncle!"
This cry made the people behind them restless and kept digging in.
After walking through this narrow path, the inside is much more spacious, where the trapped people spent the past few days.
Six people, not one more.
They didn't care about the dirt on their bodies, the joy of their relatives' reunion made them hug together, Xu Zheng was left aside in the cold, he picked up a mouse casually, and lifted its tail, the mouse dangling in the air kept chirping, with short limbs Struggling like hell.
Xu Zheng mentioned it for a while, then let the mouse go.
Thanks to it leading the way, they found these people in the mine.
The people in the mine are talking all over the place:
"I thought I'd never see you again."
"How did you find it?"
"We also tried to go out, but the entrance of the cave was blocked. I thought I was going to die here."
……
Xu Zheng found a wooden board and sat down.
A piece of wood is a good seat for coal miners. Don’t expect to find a clean place to rest in the mine. When you are tired, it is already a kind of enjoyment to lean on a piece of wood.
After the warmth, someone's stomach rang: "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry. "
The rescue teammates took out their food one after another: "Eat quickly, let's go out when we are full."
They began to evacuate along the way they came. Just as they came out of the cave, due to excessive water pressure and a sudden increase in water pressure, the stone pile blocked in the water hole was washed away, and the rock wall beside the hole was washed away. The hole the size of a hole suddenly expanded to the size of a fist, and the water seeped into the mine.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the mine is about to flood."
A group of people ran away with all their strength, but when they came, the water level in their calves kept rising, and the higher they walked, the slower they walked. Some people accidentally fell during the escape process, and were quickly picked up by the people around them and then fled.
Running in the water, the sound of the water one after another disturbs the heart, the time is getting tighter, and every minute and every second is racing against fate.
By the time they returned to the hole they had dug in the wall, the water had risen to their waists.
People were climbing out one by one, and when Xu Zheng escaped, the water was about to rise to the entrance of the cave, and the water inside was at least one meter deep.
They left there all the materials they could use at hand, plugging up the holes they had dug.
When they came up from the mine, they were all exhausted.
Xu Zheng's body was covered with a mixture of mud, sand and coal ash, and there was no clean spot all over his body.
The time in the mine is unknown, but three days have passed since they left the mine.
Just coming out of the mine where you can't see your fingers, the sun above your head is too strong, Xu Zheng shielded his eyes with his hands, and saw You Zhi who had been guarding the mine all the time: "The groundwater is leaking, hurry up and send someone to build an airtight wall."
"By the way, didn't you let Xu Shi know?" Xu Zheng asked again with concern.
You Zhi smiled wryly, and moved a step to the side to reveal Xu Shi behind him.
On Xu Shi's face, he had the ugliest expression he had ever seen in his life.
"Trash." Xu Zheng was furious, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Before Xu Zheng was exhausted and passed out, he vaguely heard Xu Shi calling him.
On the second night when Xu Zheng entered the mine, Xu Shi blocked You Zhi at the door of the room and followed him every step of the way. Wherever You Zhi went, he went.
It made You Zhi dare not even go out to the mine to have a look.
For Xu Shi, he couldn't beat him, nor could he scold him.
He looked at Xu Shi with all his heart.
But turning around, Xu Shi tortured him mentally.
"Young master, can you let me go?" You Zhichang was so old, how could he have been wronged like this.
If anyone dares to provoke him, just ask his subordinates to beat him up.
His father is rich, and he can afford to pay whatever money he gets into the hospital.
In his life, he has been planted in the hands of two people.
One is Huo Junning and the other is Xu Shi.
The former is his wife and he is willing, but where did Xu Shi come from?
"Where's Xu Zheng?" That's all Xu Shi said.
His current expression has degenerated to the point that it is almost like a robot, cold and emotionless: "After 48 hours, you can call the police."
"Can't you make trouble for me?" You Zhi begged him.
Neither of these two brothers made him feel at ease.
Xu Shi persisted, "Where's Xu Zheng?"
You Zhi was so annoyed: "Repeater, you?"
"I'll go find him." Xu Shi decided to go out alone.
You Zhi pulled him back: "Don't, if you lose it, your brother won't kill me when he comes back."
Xu Shi persisted: "What about others?"
"In the mine." You Zhi retreated.
Xu Shi and You Zhi were waiting by the side of the mine.
"If there is anything wrong with Xu Zheng, I will expose you." Xu Shi threatened him.
The two waited for a whole day, and finally waited for Xu Zheng who came out of it.
It looked like it had just been fished out of a mud pit.
When Xu Zheng woke up, Xu Shi lay beside him, pressing his quilt, leaving only a fluffy head.
As soon as Xu Zheng moved his hand, Xu Shi woke up, looking at him with anger.
"Are you awake?" Xu Zheng asked him.
"you……"
Xu Zheng smelled the familiar soot smell on his body, got up from the bed, and went into the bathroom immediately: "What's the matter, wait until I come out."
He changed his clothes, but after staying in the mine for so many days, the smell on his body made him unbearable.
As soon as Xu Zheng came out, Xu Shi sat at the door and confronted him: "I can't control you anymore."
"You can't listen to what I tell you."
"I'm disappointed in you."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Zheng was taken aback.
Isn't this what he usually said to Xu Shi? Why is it now his turn to say it from Xu Shi's mouth?
"I'm going to tell Mom about this time." Xu Shi hit the nail on the head.
Xu Zheng panicked: "You don't have to come here, I will promise you whatever you ask for, okay?"
Xu Shi glanced at him disappointedly: "Your words have no credibility."
"What exactly do you want?" Xu Zheng sighed and discussed with him.
"I want you to be beaten up by mom." Xu Shi retaliated. Only in this way can the hatred in his heart be eliminated.
"Can you beat me up?" Xu Zheng grabbed Xu Shi's hand and put it on his body.
Xu Shi was at a loss and almost cried out of anger.
Pushing people into a hurry is the end, Xu Zheng has to coax him, he hugged Xu Shi: "Don't cry."
Xu Shi moved closer to Xu Zheng's wrist, and took a hard bite on it, leaving a ring of teeth marks.
"Did I come at the wrong time?" You Zhi asked aloud as he opened the door halfway and popped his head.
Received two impatient gazes at the same time, You Zhi retreated silently and closed the door behind him.
Xu Zheng had never coaxed anyone before. When Xu Shi calmed down, he reached out and wiped away Xu Shi's tears: "I promised to grow up, why is it like a child, crying at every turn."
"Let's go back to Qianfeng." Xu Shi demanded.
"Leave tomorrow." Xu Zheng let go of him, "I'm going to talk to You Zhi about something, and I'll be back soon."
As soon as he went out, You Zhi received Xu Zheng's contemptuous gaze.
Asking him to help coax Xu Shi, even this little thing can't be done well.
You Zhi raised his hand to complain for himself: "It's not my fault, it's because your brother is too smart, you can't hide anything from him."
Two days ago, You Zhi was still envious, but now he misses his silly brother You Xin very much.
People are a bit wild, but they are better than coaxing.
Give some money and be happy.
You Zhi came back this time because of the coal mine: "Thanks to you, the people in the mine were saved. They were talking about sending you a pennant, but I stopped it."
"Do you want it? You want me to supply it to you." You Zhi added.
"No need." Xu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.
"The pennant can be saved, but this one, you will definitely like it." You Zhi shook the contract in his hand.
"What is this?" Xu Zheng was puzzled.
"Half the shares in the coal mine." You Zhi said.
"There are not one or two people who call me brothers and sisters, but they are only after the money in my hand. You are different, you are my real brother." You Zhi said with emotion, "I originally wanted to give you the mine, but it's a pity I don’t make much money, so thinking about sending you off isn’t cheating you? I’ll give you half of the shares, so you won’t have to pay for it when you come to the mine to pull coal.”
Xu Zheng joined the rescue team, not all because of You Zhi, but more because of his character.
Hope is at hand, why not save the people below?
Unexpectedly, You Zhi's repayment came so realistically.
If You Zhi wants to be nice to someone, that is to be nice to him from the bottom of his heart.
His brother would do anything as long as he had it.
Xu Zheng took over the contract: "There is no need to sign the contract, just pay on time every month."
You Zhi choked him: "Do you want money, but a pile of coal."
After finding out the cause of the accident, You Zhi sent people to rebuild the airtight wall, seal off the groundwater leak, re-plan the route in the mine, and returned 2000 yuan in compensation to the miners who were in distress.
Knowing that Xu Zheng will return to Qianfeng tomorrow, You Zhi was surprised: "So urgent?"
Xu Zheng glanced inside the room.
You Zhi understood and gave him a sympathetic look.
He understands, he understands it all.
During the National Day, it was difficult to buy a return ticket. All of this did not bother You Zhi. He added money and got two train tickets from the ticket dealer.
In this era, the real-name system has not yet been implemented, and ticket dealers can be seen everywhere, and they are very rampant.
When the money is in place, everything is easy to talk about.
On Xu Zheng's last night in Guan Le, You Zhi tried to ask: "Shall I take you to a foot bath to relax?"
"Go by yourself." Xu Zheng didn't want to refuse.
"Is my brother going?" You Zhi who was rejected was not discouraged, and turned around to ask Xu Shi.
Sure enough, it was rejected a second time.
You Zhi went out to Foot Bath City by himself, and there were only the two of them left in the villa.
Xu Shi has been suppressing his temper these days, he wanted to vent but couldn't find a way.
He is still young, what he says at home has no weight, and no one will listen to him.
When can I grow up.
He no longer wants to endure this feeling of powerlessness.
He won't be a kid forever.
He also has people he cares about the most.
But he can't do anything.
Will things be different when he grows up?
When Xu Zheng came out of the mine, he felt that Xu Shi didn't want to get close to him.
The two share a room, a two-meter-wide bed with enough room in the middle to sleep another person.
Xu Zheng took the initiative to mention: "Are you still angry?"
"No." Xu Shi replied bluntly.
"I'm not angry that you are so far away." Xu Zheng didn't believe it.
Xu Shi: "Hot."
With the weather in October, the air conditioner does not need to be turned on at night, and this reason seems extremely far-fetched.
Xu Zheng waited for a while, but Xu Shi had no desire to talk to him, so he closed his eyes: "Go to bed early, I'll be home tomorrow."
Only at this time did Xu Shi speak out: "When will you stop treating me like a child?"
"How old are you?" Xu Zheng thought for a while, "When you become an adult."
"When I'm an adult, you have to treat me as an adult." Xu Shi asked him for confirmation.
Xu Zheng agreed: "Okay."
After a while, I forgot.
Even if he is an adult, in Xu Zheng's heart, he will always be a younger brother.
The next morning, You Zhi drove them to the station, and You Zhi said regretfully, "If the mine couldn't leave, I would send you back."
It just so happens that I can go to Qianfeng for a vacation.
No, just after something happened, he had to check all the equipment, what should be repaired, what should be replaced, and the safety education of the mine employees. He compiled a safety manual thicker than a brick, requiring everyone to back.
There are also occasional exams and spot checks.
Those who are qualified will stay, and those who are unqualified will be sent back for a make-up exam.
Of course, it's not all bad. You can get a bonus of 1 yuan if you take the No. 1000 exam, which is also a generous reward.
After You Zhi sent them over, he didn't stay any longer, and went back to work on his mine affairs.
The seven-day National Day holiday, after such a toss, there are less than two days left in the blink of an eye.
It took a day just to drive home.
When Xu Zheng and Xu Shi arrived at Qianfeng, it was already five o'clock in the evening.
In the car for a long time, there is nothing to pass the time except eating. They either look at the trees or eat, so that after getting off the car, the two of them are still overwhelmed.
At night, Xu Zheng mentioned one of the most important things: "You haven't started your homework yet, have you?"
Xu Shi was stunned, under Xu Zheng's supervision, he couldn't even run away.
On the first night back in Qianfeng, Xu Shi was pressed on the desk to do homework, sighing while doing it.
Alas, when will he grow up?
Less than a month after the start of school, Xu Shi brought back more than a dozen papers, one for each subject, and the weight of each subject was uneven.
In just a few days, Xu Shi did his homework for a month.
During the day, when Xu’s parents returned from a trip, both of them had four hands full, and they brought back so many local specialties that they couldn’t even open the door.
Xu Zheng opened the door for them, and took the things in Wang Yeping's hands: "What did you buy, it's so heavy?"
"It's not your father who is clamoring that the tea there is good, and this big bag belongs to him." Wang Yeping glanced at the house and asked, "Hey, what about Xu Shi?"
"Do homework in the room." Xu Zheng explained.
Wang Yeping immediately lowered the volume: "Has he changed his temper? Okay, then let's keep our voice down and don't disturb him."
"Go, go, pack your tea leaves quickly." Wang Yeping urged Xu Jingyan softly.
Xu Jingyan picked out a pile of tea from it, and said to Xu Zheng: "When school starts, you take some to school."
On the night when Xu's parents came back, they cooked a very sumptuous dinner.
They are all well-known local ingredients, and those that won't last long are simply cooked tonight.
Wearing an apron, Wang Yeping said without turning her head, "The meal is almost ready, call Xu Shi out to eat."
Xu Shi was so focused that he didn't even hear Xu Zheng's footsteps, and buried himself in the sea of questions.
Xu Zheng stood beside him for a while, knocking on the table to remind him: "Go out for dinner."
"Wait a minute, I'll finish this question first." Xu Shi's train of thought was going smoothly at the moment, and he was reluctant to let go of the halfway point.
Xu Zheng didn't disturb him, and waited patiently for Xu Shi to finish the problem.
When Xu Shi came out, he was overly cared for by Wang Yeping: "Baby, why are you so good today?"
Xu Zheng shuddered.
Even Xu Shi silently hid behind him, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Mom?"
"I don't know." Xu Zheng replied.
"What are you dawdling about? Hurry up and come over to eat, the food is cold." Wang Yeping's gentleness lasted no more than three seconds, and hurriedly said in a rough tone.
In this way, the whole family will feel comfortable.
"Doing homework is exhausting, eat more." Wang Yeping picked up a piece of fish for Xu Shi, "It's still necessary for your brother to be here. Once your brother comes back, it will save us a lot of worry."
I can start doing my homework in a while, what else is impossible?
Xu Shi was actually not happy at first.
Until Xu Zheng said: "You finish your homework, I promise you a request."
It was only then that Xu Shi acted like he was going crazy, turning the pages of the book clattering, finishing one paper after another.
On the evening of the [-]th, Xu Shi finished all his homework.
It only took a day.
After Xu Zheng's inspection, each piece was carefully made without any perfunctory.
"Don't you know how to do it?" Xu Zheng said with emotion.
Xu Shi's performance was beyond his imagination.
It seems that when Xu Shi occasionally plays with his mobile phone in class, he still listens to the teacher's lecture.
What Xu Zheng didn't know was that Xu Shi had never attended a class, and he had learned all this knowledge by himself.
When people are pushed into a hurry, they can do anything.
Tomorrow morning, Xu Zheng has to take the train back to school. Tonight is the last night he and Xu Shi will be together.
"Let's go set off the fireworks." Xu Shi suggested.
There were still unfinished fireworks in the house, which were hidden by Xu Shi, but this time they were found out all at once, and held in front of Xu Zheng.
"Okay." Xu Zheng agreed quickly.
Regardless of how silly it is to set off fireworks at this time.
After locking the door, Xu Zheng came to the open space with a bag of fireworks.
Before they started to set off, the fireworks exploded in the air.
It turned out that it wasn't just the two of them who were stupid.
Xu Shi, who had escaped from the sea of questions, seemed more excited than usual, and kept urging Xu Zheng to hurry up.
Xu Zheng ignited the cannon barrel, and heard the sound of biu, a dazzling beam of light rose straight into the sky, and then exploded in the dark night sky, dazzling and overflowing with light.
The fireworks they set off had just disappeared, and another firework lit up in the distant sky.
Xu Zheng puts one, and the other party puts one.
Just like this, they alternately set off and formed a kind of tacit understanding.
"Who's that on the opposite side? There's no end to it." Xu Shi complained.
The opponent's fireworks were about to disappear, and Xu Shi's fighting spirit was aroused: "Brother, let it go quickly, we can't lose to him!"
This round of battle lasted for four or five rounds, and in the end the opposite side couldn't let off fireworks and ended in dismal.
Xu Shi was happy, and lit three fireworks in a row, with three bubbiubiu beeps, which exploded in the air one after another, announcing their victory.
Xu Zheng laughed at him: "Isn't it childish?"
After a while, the fireworks that were reserved for the New Year's Eve were all set off at once.
All they were left with were fireworks in hand.
I lit one, and the dancing flames spread out to the surroundings. It burned very quickly, and I finished one in a short while.
