Chapter 687 The Horrible Mine

Chapter 687 The terrifying mine

The guy's shot seemed to be thrown behind him casually, but it seemed to be heading straight for him again!

But actually, no.

This shot was extremely accurate, with a "bang" sound!

The "beam-suppressing bag" placed on the wooden beam and wrapped in red cloth was beaten to pieces!

The grains and grains wrapped inside, as well as three copper coins, were falling down one after another.

This kind of "Zhenliang Bao" is a mascot created by Doujiapan Coal Mine, who is very particular about Feng Shui and likes to seek good luck.

It's just like in the south, when the wealthy families in the past had great fortunes.

They like to dig a hole in the middle of the beam and put some small golden Buddhas, silver ingots and the like inside for good luck.

That guy from the security department is demonstrating his ability to everyone!

After the storm passed, the miners in the room got dressed silently, then lined up to go to the canteen to have a very simple breakfast.

After all this is done, it's time for everyone to go down to the well to work.

Doujiapan Coal Mine is covered by earthen fences on three sides and backed by a high plateau on one side.

At the foot of the plateau is the mouth of the coal mine, which is called the "bottomless pit" by the miners and the "golden cave" by the coal mine manager.

Everyone has finished eating.

Under the leadership of the foreman, we came to the entrance of the kiln and waited to go down into the well.

This coal mine is not short of money, but they are still very careful about the details: they have to wait until the last batch of workers from the mine come out.

The miners who were preparing to go down into the mine at the kiln entrance were able to get on the dump trucks returning underground and go underground to take over from the previous group of people digging coal.

"Rumble--"

Luo Xuan and the miners had not stood at the entrance of the kiln for a while when they heard a rumbling sound coming from underground.

As the ground trembled slightly, a long series of track-gauge tipping mine cars slowly drove out of the cave entrance, pulled by the winch.

This time, the car in front of the mine car going up the shaft was filled with miners wearing red labor protection uniforms.

As the miners, whose clothes were red and half black, gradually approached, the foreman's taunting voice also sounded: "Do you know why these guys are wearing red labor protection uniforms?"

I saw everyone shaking their heads to express that they didn’t know.

The foreman, who had no intention of getting the answer at first, chuckled: "Because, these people are all rotten dragons, who have been in debt for many years!"

Everyone knows that the Rotten Roller Dragon refers to the kind of person who regards rottenness as rottenness.

This kind of person may have been discriminated against for a long time, so he developed a rebellious mentality and gave up the struggle: I am just a piece of firewood, the kind of mud that cannot be used to support the wall.

Or they are the kind of people who are naturally lazy and indolent. They just want to eat easy and don't want to pay too much.

"Long-standing debt holders"?

Everyone present can also understand: that is to say, they work in the production team, but when the accounts are settled at the end of the year, they end up unable to make ends meet.

By the end of the year,

People who not only cannot get paid, but also owe money to the production team will be called "defaulting households".

And it's like this every year. There are always people who can't pay off their old debts, and they always owe a lot of money to the production team.

That is a household that has been in debt for many years.

After working for a year, you still can't make ends meet. This situation is actually quite common among production teams.

But what the miners present still couldn't figure out was: This is a coal mine!

As long as everyone goes down the well to dig coal, they will have a relatively high salary income.

Moreover, those who are willing to risk their lives and go down into the wells to dig coal cannot go there to do hard work, but to have fun.

Just because it is very dangerous down there in the mine and the dust content is also very high.

In this case, who would go to the mine to be lazy?

Since everyone took such a big risk and went down the well, they must have gone there to make a little more money.

In this kind of coal mines, most of them work on a piece-rate basis: the more you dig, the more wages you get.

After all this calculation, how can any miner still owe money to the mine?

Even if a miner's family encounters a major change and needs a lot of money, he borrows a large amount from the mine.

That can only be an isolated case. How is it possible that people No. 2 and 30 have become "perennial defaulters"?

Seeing everyone's confusion, the foreman chuckled and said, "You must know these guys, they earn at least 5 or 60 yuan a month!"

"But they usually eat and drink so much that they spend more money on the mine than they earn on their own!"

There was an implicit warning in the foreman's words: "Everyone, please remember that in our Doujiapan coal mine, apart from the fact that coal is not valuable.

Everything else is not easy to come by, so they are not cheap."

"Just like the basin of water you wash your face with in the morning, everyone has to pay 2 cents. The bar of soap you use together will be sold at the mine for 3 yuan a piece."

"ah?!!"

Everyone was shocked: "It's so expensive? It's just a basin of water for washing your face, and the mine actually charges us 20 cents?"

"expensive?"

The foreman sneered: "We use water trucks to pull water from 150 kilometers away. A large basin only costs 20 cents. How dare you say it's expensive?"

How about you go find a way to bring a cart of water over, and our mine will pay for it for you?"

The foreman's face was filled with regret, and he could barely beat his chest, "For your own good, the mine has brought you water from all the way here so that you can wash your faces and hands."

You still say it’s expensive? Where’s your conscience? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs?”

The new miners present did not know what was going on and could only stand there silently listening to the foreman's nonsense.

And the reason why this foreman did this,

He is speaking for the coal mine, trying to find justice for the coal mine's behavior of exploiting workers at all levels under a clever name!

Although there is a shortage of water on the high plateau, there is no need to go 150 kilometers away to fetch water.

Luo Xuan is sure: If you are familiar with the surrounding environment, there is definitely a big water source within this 2 or 30 kilometers!

only,

The surrounding area of ​​Doujiapan Coal Mine is deserted, and the miners locked in this coal mine yard have no way of knowing the truth.

No one refuted his words.

The foreman proudly warned everyone: "Now you know that consumption here is very high, right? So you have to work hard to dig coal and try not to spend so much money. Otherwise, here we go."

"You will eventually wear red labor insurance uniforms, and all the wages you earn every month will have to be used to fill the holes."

The foreman pointed to the miners who were busy climbing out of the dump truck: "You said they all dig coal in the well.

At the end of the year, you can take a few hundred yuan home. And why should they go home? With nothing in their hands, how dare they see their own wives, children, and children?"

The foreman warned everyone to save money, and it was definitely not out of good intentions!

Coal mines like to have miners owe them money.

In this way, the miners will always be burdened with unpaid debts and will always have to work hard to dig coal in the coal mines.

But this debt also has a limit.

The monthly salary of miners, and how much they can get, is carefully calculated at the coal mine.

That seemingly high salary does not include the miners' money for meals, bathing water, and smoking cigarettes.

Occasionally eat a meal of meat to replenish your physical strength.

Miners go down to work and stay there for eight hours.

During this process, the miners had to eat something, otherwise no one would be able to withstand eight consecutive hours of high-intensity physical work.

And the food you take down to the mines to eat is extremely expensive!

In the Doujiapan Coal Mine, the wages it pays to the miners are not low, but it will eventually recover the wages of the miners through various means.

The foreman stood there, busy brainwashing everyone.

At this time, Luo Xuan saw Chen Xiaobai among the miners wearing red labor protection uniforms!

A debtor?

Chen Xiaobai couldn't come to Doujiapan Coal Mine empty-handed!

He once told himself a few years ago that the Doujiapan Coal Mine was purchasing grain at a high price.

In other words, Chen Xiaobai brought over a cart of grain for nothing, not to mention that he didn't get the payment due.

Instead, he himself was caught in the coal mine and used as free labor in the mine!

Luo Xuan deduced from this: Most of these people wearing red labor protection uniforms had the same experience as Chen Xiaobai.

They either provide beef and mutton to the mine, or provide food, or provide some small mining accessories and other goods.

Originally they planned to make some profits through this.

Unexpected!

I didn't make any money, but I put myself and all the goods in it.

No need to think about it. For these suppliers who have been exploited by coal mines, they are different from ordinary miners.

Other ordinary miners may be working hard to save their lives, but they are trying to save a little bit on weekdays.

Maybe one day,

They can really get out of this coal mine alive with dozens or even hundreds of dollars.

But people like Chen Xiaobai hold evidence of blackmailing people in coal mines and buying and selling by force.

They are afraid that as long as people survive in this life, they will have to work to death in the mines!

It is absolutely impossible for them to get out of the coal mine alive.

Chen Xiaobai was completely black. If he didn't blink and reveal the whites of his eyes, there wouldn't be any white spot on his face.

I saw him crawling out of the dump truck, full of exhaustion.

And then he didn’t forget to reach out and help a group of companions who didn’t even have the strength to climb out of the dump truck.

Luo Xuan looked at Chen Xiaobai quietly, who was already so thin that he was out of shape. He couldn't express the bitterness in his heart.

Although he was skinny or not, he was still very energetic. He worked hard for life, and there was never any sign of slackness in him.

every day,

He is always running around energetically, just to earn that little meager reward.

No matter how hard or tiring life was, Luo Xuan never heard a single complaint from him.

No matter how poor and miserable his life was, every time Chen Xiaobai sold beef and mutton to him, he would never pass it off as inferior quality.

Not even a little bit short.

——This is a very honest businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he is also a good candidate for sales management!

After it was confirmed that Chen Xiaobai was indeed behind this coal mine, Luo Xuan pulled on his rattan safety helmet and lowered his head.

This is to prevent Chen Xiaobai from recognizing himself: in case he fails to control his emotions and starts screaming

Then wouldn’t he be passive?

Fortunately, Chen Xiaobai was exhausted at this time and just wanted to fill his stomach quickly and fall asleep.

He didn't have any intention of looking around, but he and his co-workers supported each other and staggered towards the canteen.

Until then,

The new miners finally understood the reason why these miners who had just risen to the mine went directly to the canteen to eat without washing their faces:

Saving money is one reason.

Another point is that they are almost tired at this time and want to lie down and rest!

Then what energy and thought do you have to fetch water and wash your face?

After Chen Xiaobai and the others left, the foreman began to greet everyone to get on the bus: "Please remember, before climbing into the dump truck, two people must be arranged to carefully check the buckles on the side of the dump truck.

If the buckle is not firm and you are thrown out in the middle, I will not care about your life or death! There are many places underground, and it will not take much effort to bury you directly when the time comes."

This type of dump truck has a spring buckle on the side.

If the buckle is loose, it is not locked properly.

People sitting in a dump truck can easily be dumped out by the dump truck like coal when they are driving.

That would bring personal danger to the miners.

After everyone got on the dump truck, with the push of several miners behind the truck, a long line of dump trucks began to slowly move towards the coal mine.

As soon as the black dump truck drove into the mine, everyone's eyes went dark.

The huge hole at the entrance of the kiln was like a bottomless bloody mouth, swallowing up everyone in an instant.

"Rumble--"

As the coal well becomes deeper and deeper, the angle of tilt toward the ground becomes larger and larger, and the speed of the dump truck traveling on the simple railway track becomes faster and faster!

"Rumble--"

The loud sound of the friction between the iron wheels and the rails echoed in the bottomless dark mine.

It was very quiet in the mine, and this omnipresent, seemingly indestructible, huge noise filled everyone's eardrums and penetrated into everyone's minds.

Trying to cover your ears to resist this frightening loud noise is in vain.

This ear-piercing roar was like the biting cold air that filled the space between heaven and earth.

It will penetrate deeply into the heart of a person from every orifice, even the cells!

It makes the muscles all over the body spasm, the heartbeat speeds up, and it also makes the whole body feel cold.

It seemed that at this moment, his life had left his body, and the loud rumbling sound floated throughout the mine.

The coal mine shaft is very deep!

In some mines that have been mined for a long time, the distance from the cave entrance to the mining surface can even be as long as more than ten miles!

It's so deep that it gives people the illusion that everyone at this time has already lost their body.

Everyone seems to be left with only wisps of remnant souls, helpless and floating in the endless dark sky.

That feeling of helplessness, powerlessness, incomparable uncertainty, and utter despair is a great test of one's willpower.

There were some people with slightly less strong nerves who were driving the dump truck in the mine.

It may even collapse on the spot.

Some people would even scream, jump out of the dump truck while scratching, and hit the hard rock in the mine tunnel.

In order to get rid of this huge torture as soon as possible, which can definitely make people despair, so that I can die happily!

Fortunately, the mine has already taken precautions against this: when new miners go down the mine, the coal mine will install a detachable iron mesh on the dump truck in advance.

This makes people want to jump out of the car, but they can't get out.

As the mine descends, it is estimated that it has reached a depth of 7,800 meters underground.

As the mine gets deeper and deeper, the cold air in this passage becomes stronger and stronger.

This kind of coldness is completely different from the cold wind whistling in the well: the cold wind in the wilderness blows on the body like a sharp knife.

If you don't pay attention, the cold wind can cut burning gashes on people's hands and faces.

And the coldness under the mine is like a call from the netherworld, and like a warning from the Nine Netherworld.

It's like a person walking alone in a silent mass grave in the cold night.

This kind of coldness,

It's like a needle pricking through every hole.

This cold air seemed to come from within, as if waves of coldness were emanating from one's own body.

It leaves people with nowhere to hide and makes them feel extremely frightened.
