"Mines are really not made by humans. Compared with mining, farming is simply a joy. People can't see clearly underground, and the lighting equipment is only a simple portable oil lamp. This thing is very dangerous especially underground and can easily explode.

In order to avoid a decrease in output caused by accidents, some vertical wells will be dug to facilitate exhaust. Only shallow places can be used. Deeper places do not have the conditions to dig vertical wells.

There are production targets, and the supervisors dare not relax. There is a group of people who have stayed in the mines since childhood, and have food and housing there. They are not allowed to come out until a mine is excavated.

This group of people have to touch the rocks with their fingers to confirm whether it is the coal they want to mine. Their eyes have to be sealed with cloth after leaving the mine. Eyes that have experienced long periods of darkness cannot withstand light.

When I arrived at that place, it happened to be the day when these people left the mines. After staying there for a long time, every part of their bodies was black, a bit like the shadow of a human being. They couldn't be washed away even if they were washed by water. They had to use special means.

Clean yourself up.

After a person cleans it up, you will find that it is extremely pale and frighteningly white, with wounds and parasites on the skin. Most importantly, there is no hair on the body, and the top of the head is also bald.

It is no longer possible for parents to recognize which of their children is theirs, and they will be gathered in one place to wait for the next time they go down the well.

The reason why I was borrowed there was an accident. While digging the rock to find the next vein, an explosion and collapse occurred. People like us who didn't understand the mine were asked to come over to clean and dig. Fortunately, we could

Use lights.

Shabi is the leader of Minba children in that area. He always does wrong things and does not allow anyone to question him. As for Rang Bai, the first time I saw Rang Bai, I thought this person was very strange. He was not taciturn.

He could go for several days without saying a word, and I thought he was mute.

Through communication with other people, I found out that Rang Bai was not from this village, but from somewhere else. His father was a hunter, and the child had grown up in the woods, accompanying animals.

On the first day I got there, I followed others down the well. The air inside was unbearable and dust was everywhere. I accidentally breathed it into my lungs. Even if I coughed until tears came out, it might not work. People who cough want to

Shit, I can't even imagine how those people stayed there for a year or two.

If the entire well collapses, there is no way to start, because you don’t know which stone will cause a chain reaction when cleaning. You need to use wood to hold it up and down before you dare to proceed to the next step. The wood is very heavy, and holding it up and down requires not only strength, but also skills.

.

I had some strength, but I couldn't get the point. Shabi scolded me several times for this reason, and then we had a fight, fighting in the dark."

"Who won in the end?" Rohan said but thought it was not appropriate. "I'm sorry, I'm just asking casually. I have never experienced a miserable life like yours."

Zuo Lan smiled: "It doesn't matter, I won in the end and became famous in one battle. Those supervisors had never done this kind of thing before. They used their own judgment standards to guess that we were lazy, so we didn't have lunch.

The reason why they think this way is that there are not many rocks cleared out in the morning, but there is nothing we can do about it. Unless we have explosives, anyway, there will be no lunch.

After working all morning, the body of a malnourished minba like us couldn't bear it, and Shabi even shouted that he wanted to fight me again. Then, we really fought again, and I was knocked over by his head.

He stood on the stone and was completely convinced.

However, he also wanted to save face and sternly warned his friends that no one could care about me and that he would completely isolate me.

It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, in a few days, we will go back and live a fairy-like life.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to be with me, not even Bai. He is very willing to stick to me. This guy’s heart is very delicate, just like a little girl. Although he doesn’t like to talk, he always thinks about others.”

The two clinked their wine glasses, and Rohan sighed with emotion: "What a heart-wrenching friendship."

"That's right, there are a lot more vernacular words now than at that time."

"Please continue."

"I'll have one." Zuo Lan took out a cigarette from the wooden box and lit it. "I worked there for a month. I missed home every day and wanted to go back. Those days were really hard and unbearable. Sometimes

I was thinking about whether I could mention it to the supervisor and go back early.

My desire to go home drove me, and my courage also limited me. Later, I still expressed my thoughts to the supervisor, and in exchange for a whip, I was also taken out to show to others, and warned others that this was the price.

After receiving a beating, I became more honest, but I also missed home even more. Several times I wanted to sneak away while the supervisor was not paying attention, and lay down in the field to breathe.

After working for a while, one of the pillars in the mine we were in was not properly supported. Coupled with the previous explosion, the originally unstable geology collapsed, and five of us were buried inside. This was quite lucky.

Those who were unlucky were directly hit by falling rocks, and such people were killed directly.

If we hadn't had a piece of wood to support us, we would have been dead. Shabi, I, and Rangbai were all unscathed. Shabi patted the rocks and called for help. There were gaps between the stones, allowing air to come in.

It’s meaningless to call for help or not. Someone already knew about it when we stepped down in the mine, and they came to save us with tools. Unfortunately, the supervisor didn’t allow it. He listened to an experienced old supervisor and went deeper inside.

It will still collapse and need to be rerouted.

With such a sentence, the fate of several of us was abandoned. At first we were afraid of being whipped. After Minba told us this decision, we were faced with an unprecedented panic.

I still clearly remember the moment when the oil lamp finally burned out, which gave people a deep sense of powerlessness and the world was shrouded in darkness."

Rohan tried every means to put himself in the environment of the story. After trying for a long time to no avail, he shook his head and said: "It's hard for me to imagine how you felt at that time, not to mention that you are still teenagers, so what are you doing?"

How did it come out?"

"In that dark place, conflicts between people will be triggered, especially after self-rescue fails. We only have two wooden crowbars in our hands. It is difficult to save ourselves with these tools.

Because of the conflict with Shabi, I was always on guard against this guy. As expected, he did take action. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, he would have beaten me to death with a crowbar.

That was what happened after several days of starvation. The person's eyes were already red from hunger. The smell of the cave, human excrement, etc., all of which would drive the person to the edge. People who were so hungry that their eyes were bloodshot would think

eat human.

We can't see clearly what is in front of us, and our limbs are too weak to stand up. Have you ever seen hungry dogs in the same cage? The situation was like this. Five hungry dogs on all fours made sounds that humans could not make.

Fighting, biting, and trying every means to kill each other.

living hell."

Rohan shuddered, and his hand holding the cup was trembling, because of Zuo Lan's eyes, Zuo Lan's eyes seemed to be back in the mine, looking at him like a hungry dog ​​looking at food.

"Calm down." Rohan subconsciously moved back, even assuming a defensive posture.

Zuo Lan put out his cigarette. He looked like a normal human being and raised the cup gently: "I really don't want to talk about what happened. It makes me sick when I think about it. When a person reaches that point, he is really not a human anymore."

.”

"I think I've felt it." Rohan moved his cup forward, touched Zuo Lan's wine cup and immediately pulled it back.

"I only remember that I tore open a person's groin with my teeth, and sprayed the warm blood on other people's faces. The smell of blood did not make us more crazy, but made us calm down.
