Without understanding Wei Dahai's true intentions, Zhang Guoquan mistakenly thought that the other party was trying to mess with him, so he waited for Wei Dahai to take the initiative.

As long as Wei Dahai takes the initiative, he can complete the plan in his heart.

Little did they know that Wei Dahai had lost patience with Zhang Guoquan after Xia Sujuan refused to form a partnership.

Wei Dahai did not take the initiative to come to the door and ask him again to work in the mine.

On the contrary, Zhang Guoquan was waiting for bad news.

It was the evening of the second day, there was no wind or snow, and there was silence between heaven and earth. Occasionally, the sound of children reading came from the classroom, accompanied by a cry of "Guo Quan".

The voice sounded urgent and uneasy. Zhang Guoquan was playing with Xiao Zhaoyang in the yard at the time. He looked up at the door of the yard and saw that it was Liangzi.

Before Zhang Guoquan asked Liangzi what was going on, Liangzi said in a panic: "Guoquan, something happened to your brother-in-law."

"What?" Zhang Guoquan exclaimed, hurriedly put down Xiao Zhaoyang and rushed to Liangzi: "What happened to my brother-in-law?"

Liangzi gasped and said: "There was a small landslide in the mine, and Yonggui was trapped inside. Manager Wei asked me to call you."

Zhang Guoquan frowned: "Then what are you waiting for? Go and save people."

"Bai Ge, wait at home and don't tell our father yet. If our eldest sister hears it, she will definitely be anxious."

The eldest sister Yang Yulan is pregnant and cannot bear such a fright.

Bai Ge nodded, feeling very worried in his heart, and said, "Then you must pay attention to safety."

Zhang Guoquan ran to the mine first, followed closely by Liangzi. While running, Zhang Guoquan asked as he ran.

"Why did the landslide happen?"

"I don't know, maybe some roof is not supporting it."

"Is it serious or not?"

"It's a small area. If it were a large area, everyone would be buried underneath."

Zhang Guoquan had always heard villagers talking about coal mining, and Zhang Guoquan had some basic understanding of underground. In such a deep underground place, it would be okay if nothing happened, but if something happened, it would be life-threatening, and rescue would be very difficult.

Safety, safety, after all, it is still a matter of safety. He has told his brother-in-law many times to pay attention to safety when working and not to rush forward with everything. Unexpectedly, something happened.

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the entrance of the shaft to the north of the mine.

Liangzi said: "In mining area No. 1."

Many villagers who came up from the well have gathered at the wellhead of No. 1 mining area. Wei Dahai is directing order at the wellhead to prevent other things from happening if there is no disturbance.

What is puzzling is that such a major safety accident occurred in the mine. Only Wei Dahai was in charge, but Wei Guangming, the mine manager, was nowhere to be seen.

It's too late to think about these things now. My brother-in-law is still trapped down there. It's important to save people.

Zhang Guoquan ran to mining area No. 1, and Wei Dahai waved to him: "Guoquan, you came just in time. I have evacuated all the workers underground to the top. After counting the number of people, there is indeed only one missing Wang Yonggui. He must be trapped."

in."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry down and save people." Zhang Guoquan shouted loudly.

"Look at you, I understand that you are anxious, but I have to first determine how many workers are trapped down there before I can launch a rescue operation."

"Then you've already made up your mind. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense." Zhang Guoquan became anxious.

Wei Dahai frowned, Zhang Guoquan dared to yell at him like this, huh, wait a minute, you may be speechless.

"Yes, time is life, let's go to the rescue right away." Wei Dahai relaxed his shoulders.

"Call more people and search one place after another." Zhang Guoquan put forward his own suggestion.

The other villagers who came up thought the same and wanted to follow him for rescue, but were stopped by Wei Dahai.

"If the underground is not properly protected, a secondary landslide will occur. If so many of you go down, it will only cause chaos. As the main person in charge of the mine, I have to be responsible for all of your lives. In this way, Guoquan and I can go down alone. It is a small landslide.

, two people are enough, you just stay up there and wait for our good news."

Wei Dahai said it with great justice, as if he was responsible for your lives.

The villagers wanted to say something else, but Wei Dahai looked over with a cold look: "I am the manager, or you are the managers. If you are asked to stay on top, just stay on guard."

"Okay, okay, let's get down quickly." Zhang Guoquan was really not in the mood to listen to Wei Dahai's long speech. He didn't know whether his brother-in-law was alive or dead now, so he had to hurry up.

Wei Dahai asked for two mining lamps from the villagers, handed one to Zhang Guoquan, and then walked to the cage first.

Zhang Guoquan was about to go down the well with Wei Dahai. After taking a few steps, he stopped.

He turned around and said to Liangzi behind him: "Brother Liangzi, go find the old man."

Liangzi understood Zhang Guoquan's worries and immediately turned back and ran to the village clinic.

Wei Dahai did not ask all the villagers to follow him to search. He said that he was afraid that if there were too many people, it would easily cause a second landslide. Once a second landslide occurs, it will have a chain reaction and may become a large area. Then it will not be trapped.

It's so simple to live alone, but many people will lose their lives if they don't have enough insurance.

Therefore, he must be responsible for everyone's lives and cannot sacrifice most people because of one person. As the person in charge of the mine, he should not be afraid of danger and be willing to accompany Zhang Guoquan into the mine to save people.

This is what Wei Dahai said, and he said it very responsibly.

Zhang Guoquan didn't know much about what was going on underground, and now he was already panicking because he was worried about his brother-in-law.

Wei Dahai opened the iron curtain of the cage and walked in, followed closely by Zhang Guoquan.

With a "crash", the blocking curtain made of iron chains returned to its position. As Wei Dahai pressed the switch inside the cage, the cage quickly slid down. A feeling of weightlessness made Zhang Guoquan unsteady and grabbed the man next to him.

Iron curtain.

Zhang Guoquan's heart immediately rose to his throat. As the cage went lower, he felt suffocated and couldn't breathe. Fortunately, there were lights hanging on the vertical well walls, which alleviated the suffocation a lot.

To be honest, this was his first time going down a well. He was a little nervous and his heart was pounding. But more importantly, he was worried. It was so deep that his brother-in-law was trapped alone in the well, but his life and death were unknown.

Wei Dahai suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's like this for the first time when you go down a well. Just get used to it. Put the miner's lamp on your head. This will alleviate the fear in your heart."

Wei Dahai was comforting on the surface, but he snorted coldly in his heart. He usually seems to be very capable, but he didn't expect that he is just a coward. But it doesn't matter, you will be a real ghost soon.

When thinking this way, Wei Dahai took out a mask and put it on his face, and handed one to Zhang Guoquan: "There just was a landslide down there, and soot was flying everywhere. It would be better if you put it on."

Zhang Guoquan didn't answer. He had no intention of taking care of the coal ash anymore. He prayed in his heart that the cage could reach the ground as soon as possible.

The cage was still sliding down. Zhang Guoquan slowly adapted and became less nervous. He asked Wei Dahai: "How long will it take to get there?"

"It's only a few hundred meters deep, but it's quick. This cage will go down quickly, so don't worry."

Can he not be in a hurry? If he waits for one more second, his brother-in-law's danger will increase for one more second. When he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, any second will be a disaster for the family.

If something happened to his brother-in-law, how would his eldest sister survive? She also had an unborn child, and he was already in a mess.

With a "bang" sound, the cage finally reached the ground several hundred meters deep.

The iron curtain opened, Zhang Guoquan took a deep breath, trying to calm down his nervous mood, he must stay calm.

The entrance is a long alleyway, filled with black coal seams, a layer of coal ash scattered on the ground, and messy footprints. It can be seen that the working villagers were in a panic when they evacuated to the well.

.

At the edge of the tunnel, there are several large, dark machines, which are round and filled with cut black coal.

In the middle of the tunnel, there are pillars made of pig iron, supporting the top of the entire tunnel. The top is an iron frame and wooden boards. It seems to be quite solid, but if a landslide occurs, it is not impossible.

Who can guarantee that a piece of wood will suddenly break, causing the coal seam above to fall. Once a landslide occurs in a certain area, people will be easily trapped inside without having time to escape.

"There is a landslide somewhere, take me there quickly." Zhang Guoquan said hurriedly.

"Turn here, go forward, it's right there, not far." Wei Dahai pointed to a place under the well.

The area was dark, possibly due to the landslide, which caused damage to the underground lines.

Zhang Guoquan held the miner's lamp on his head. It was the first time he used this thing. He was not used to it for a while. Fortunately, wherever he looked, it would become brighter.
