Especially in the wilderness, the temperature at night can drop to more than 30 degrees below zero.
In this kind of weather, no amount of antifreeze can withstand it.
After Luo Xuan, Chen Xiaobai and Jian Teng used burning coal piles to heat up the lying truck parked in the coal preparation yard.
The three of them drove the car and hurried south.
The coal truck was driving on the rugged plateau, and the scenery outside the window was desolate, silent and deserted, like a forbidden area of life.
Jian Teng, who was really bored, asked: "Brother Luo Xuan, what did you say the yurt was on fire last night?"
Luo Xuan shook his head while driving: "I don't know, and I don't want to know either."
Jian Teng still wanted to ask.
But I heard Chen Xiaobai grumble: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't inquire about. Who are the people participating in the Doujiapan Coal Mine? Do you want to investigate?"
If you dare to ask around, I can guarantee that within three days... there will be an extra mound next to Accountant Wang, do you believe it?"
Jian Teng was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and dared not speak anymore.
A truck with 6 wheels is naturally much faster than a truck with 2 legs.
The truck drove forward, and in about 2 hours, it caught up with the fleeing miners at the back.
"Master, can you give us a ride?"
When the miners heard the sound of a car behind them, they all hurriedly moved to the side of the road and waved to the truck, "Master, let's show off your style. Can we stay a while?"
"Master, look at this place, it can freeze people into balls, just do it, okay?"
Every early morning in the wilderness is when the north wind is the gentlest.
On the contrary, after noon, when there is no shelter or barrier on the plateau, strong winds will rise and the wind and sand will be filled.
At this time, the wind blowing on people's bodies was really like a knife blowing against them.
It's a bit like a sharp razor blade that gently cuts the surface of human skin, causing a slight burning pain.
"Crunch——"
Luo Xuan stepped on the brakes and asked Jian Teng to announce the rules of the ride to the miners on the side of the road: "Everyone must pick up at least 10 fist-sized pieces of garbage. On the next road, no one is allowed to do anything without the driver's consent.
People pick up cars!”
"If anyone dares to pick up the car, just hit it hard with the dirt and garbage in your hand! If you run out of dirt and garbage, just use the coal in the carriage to smash it."
Jian Teng asked them sternly: "Do you understand everything?!"
"I understand!"
Although these miners, who were exhausted and walking extremely hard, couldn't understand why the people in the truck made such strange requests?
However, the cowardly character developed through long-term resignation made them uniformly agree to this condition.
"Perhaps the driver is worried that someone will steal the coal from his car?"
These miners were thinking this secretly while picking up dirt.
In the cab, after Jian Teng announced the rules for riding, he couldn't help but turned around curiously and asked, "Brother Luo Xuan, what does this mean?"
Luo Xuan replied coldly: "If you can think clearly, I'm afraid you can lead the villagers and live a good life like the Zhengxing Brigade."
Jian Teng didn't dare to ask again.
On the other hand, Chen Xiaobai, who was on the side, had already seen some tricks.
Considering that this Jian Teng was likely to be Luo Xuan's right-hand man in the future, Chen Xiaobai, who wanted to have a good relationship with him, then explained: "The soil is frozen hard in the wilderness, but it is not as hard as coal.
.
Hitting someone with earthenware rubbish will also have an explosive effect, so you don’t have to worry about killing the other person. So it is most suitable to hit people with earthen lumps of rubbish.”
"Smash someone?"
Jian Teng became even more confused: "Why do you want to hit someone? Who?"
Chen Xiaobai smiled slightly: "Smash those who have corrupted their consciences, those who are selfish and don't care whether others live or die."
Seeing Jian Teng still asking questions, Chen Xiaobai began to close his eyes and rest his mind: "Can you please stop asking so many questions? It won't take long for you to understand what this is about. By then, we will have fun to watch."
The truck squeaked and drove forward for about half an hour.
At this time, groups of miners appeared one after another on the wasteland.
These miners braved wind and snow to walk this far.
Even though they are strong, these miners are all showing signs of fatigue at this time, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Hey, master, give it a try!"
Among the miners, someone carrying a bedroll turned around and shouted, "Help, give us a ride."
Luo Xuan ignored it, still in third gear, and started flying.
But unfortunately, the roads on the plateau were rugged, and there was still more than half of the coal in the coal truck.
This causes the truck to appear to be driving very fast, but in fact the speed is not very high.
"Hey, master, stop for a moment."
The miners were begging hard as they chased the coal cart, "It's almost getting dark now. If we can't get out of this wilderness, we will have to do it if we don't get bitten to death by wild wolves at night."
Frozen to death."
Some miners also shouted, "Fellow, I recognize you! Aren't you the Luo Dabang from QXN...Hey, hey, hey, stop the car and pull me up..."
The truck's accelerator roared and it continued to drive forward regardless.
The miners who were walking saw that each other was unwilling to stop.
One by one, they took off the bedrolls on their backs and threw them into the carriage.
Then they exerted force with their feet and accelerated towards the truck... They were planning to get on the truck like a bully!
"Throw it down!"
Chen Xiaobai stuck his head out of the car window and shouted at the dozen or so miners in the carriage: "Throw all their luggage down to me."
Some of the hitchhiking miners are kind-hearted.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but turn to Chen Xiaobai and plead for the miners under the car: "Comrade, just let them take the car! Anyway, there is so much free space in the car."
Some miners also said: "Comrade driver, just give them a ride...it won't cost you much fuel."
Chen Xiaobai snorted coldly: "You see how pitiful they are now? When we were fighting for wages in the canteen, which one of them ever pitied you?"
Who has helped put the wages that should belong to you into your hands?"
When I saw the miners in the carriage, it was because they had a cowardly character, or maybe there was still a trace of kindness in their hearts.
After hearing what Chen Xiaobai said, they were still hesitant.
Chen Xiaobai couldn't help but get angry: "Throw all your luggage over to me! Whoever dares to disobey...I will throw him out. Don't take my car!"
"Just now, I saw you fell at the end of the team."
Chen Xiaobai shouted sharply: "These guys who are calling you fellow villagers now, did they stop and wait for you at that time? Did they reach out to help you?"
"Fool! Fool! Second request! Fool!"
Chen Xiaobai was so angry that he vomited blood: "When you are robbing wages, no one will pity you. When you are on your way, no one will stop and wait for you when you can't walk! You idiots..."
I saw that Chen Xiaobai had not finished speaking!
The miners in the carriage picked up the luggage that had been thrown into the carriage by the miners under the truck.
Immediately afterwards, he was thrown out of the carriage...
Now,
These people finally understood why the truck driver was willing to pull them instead of the miners ahead.
——The person who falls at the end of the fleeing team must be the person with the weakest physique.
And the miners walking at the front were definitely the strongest among all the people.
Then the other way around:
This group of miners who are in the best health are definitely the ones who are the most ruthless and grab the most when they compete for wages in the morning!
These guys have dark consciences and have lost their most basic humanity.
Therefore, they do not deserve sympathy.
In the Doujiapan cafeteria, during the morning grab for wages.
At the beginning, those miners were a little more disciplined, and they were a little hesitant about the team's rules.
So at the beginning, these miners who reached out to get their share of wages did not dare to mess around.
Later, the majority of the miners began to push each other, and they rushed forward one after another and started to rob.
From that moment on, all the work of distributing wages in the canteen was in chaos!
When Zhang San snatched Li Si's envelope and Li Si couldn't find his share of wages.
He would grab the envelope with the name "Wang Mazi" written on it...
As a result, under the domino effect, the entire canteen suddenly became a mess and fought!
From that moment on, there was no friendship or family affection in these people's hearts.
There is no longer the friendship between fellow villagers and the life-and-death feeling of fellow workers.
Since they are inhumane, why should we care about their life and death?
"Smash it! Wang Dawa, when we were in the cafeteria earlier, I found my share of salary, which you took away from me!"
The miners in the car thought of the scene in the morning when they were humiliated.
At this time, the nameless karma in their hearts was rising: "Zhao Gouzi! Don't think I don't know that you were the one who punched me in the back this morning!"
Among the miners who were following the truck and preparing to get on the truck, someone shouted in a panic: "Li Erniu, I didn't grab your envelope this morning... I remember, I remember it was... that so-and-so."
Li Erniu was so angry that he picked up a piece of coal and threw it at it: "You still want to lie to me? In the mine, my job is the most painful and tiring.
We get the same salary, so... I accept it! But this morning, I got my salary back, why are you trying to rob it?"
He cursed with his mouth to express his anger.
Li Erniu hit the other party on the head with a piece of dirt: "You still want to lie to me? After all, we are still distant cousins!"
Since you don’t care about the friendship between our fellow villagers, you don’t care about our kinship. When we return to our hometown in the future, we will never have contact with each other, so get out!"
The man was hit by a cannon and immediately became angry: "Li Erniu! It's getting dark and it's getting colder. Are you really willing to die without saving me?"
"I'll save your sister!"
Li Erniu snorted coldly: "You also know that if you can't walk out of the wasteland before dark, you will freeze to death? I couldn't walk before, so I asked you to pull me... Then you left without looking back!
Have you ever cared about my life or death?"
The fight in the back of the carriage was a mess, and there was a lot of shouting and yelling.
And in the carriage,
After all, Chen Xiaobai was still kind-hearted, so he asked: "Luo Xuan, I think it's enough to give them a meal... Or let them go for a ride? Otherwise, in the middle of the night, when the wolves appear in the wilderness, it will be terrible."
It’s dangerous.”
"fine."
Luo Xuan drove the car attentively and said without looking back: "They pushed away a lot of carts from the mine, including I-shaped pickaxes and shovels. Hundreds of people gathered together, and the wild wolves made trouble.
I can’t afford them.”
"Tell the people in the car to smash them together with coal now."
Luo Xuan told Jian Teng: "There are no trees in this wasteland, only some dead branches that cannot withstand burning. Throw them some coal and let these guys light a few fires in the middle of the night."
In the morning at Doujiapan Coal Mine, when we were fighting for things.
The miners who are walking now rely on their physical strength, dark heart, and ruthless attacks.
Therefore, the small carts and I-shaped pickaxes in the coal mine, which were somewhat valuable and easy to carry, were all taken away by them.
It's better now.
These guys are in good use in the wilderness.
"Bang bang bang——"
The miners sitting in the carriage, after receiving the order, picked up the coal in the carriage and smashed it at the unconscionable guys without thinking.
At the beginning, the miners who were hit by the coal were still jumping and cursing loudly.
But gradually, those guys also came to their senses: "Li Erniu, hurry up and hit me with coal! Come on, hit me! Even if you hit me, I won't scold you!"
In order to arouse the other party's interest in smashing themselves,
These people even ran a few steps quickly to get closer to the carriage: "Zhao Tiedan, hit me... No, no, no, don't hit me with dirt or lumps of coal!"
In order to deal with these guys properly and relieve the anger in my heart.
Rotate the low gear and high throttle, and step on the truck's accelerator to the bottom.
"Boom boom boom——"
Streams of black diesel smoke rose up, and the sand and gravel rolled up by the rear wheels, like the kind of sandblasting gun used for decoration, violently rolled towards the black-hearted miners following behind the car!
So irritating!
In the morning, I worked hard to put 120 yuan in each envelope.
They just hope that these miners can get their own wages and go home to raise their wives and children.
Never expected that!
I still underestimate the evil of human nature.
But under the circumstances at that time, I couldn't do the normal way of paying wages in the coal mine: find a small room, call the miners' names one by one, and ask them to come forward to receive their wages one by one.
How could such a thing be brought to light if he secretly paid the miners?
As a last resort, Luo Xuan had no choice but to put 120 yuan in the envelope where Accountant Wang had written the names of the miners in advance, regardless of who did more work or who did less work.
result...
So disappointing.
Now, those guys walking under the car have lost their most basic humanity and have broken through the bottom line of being human.
Then leave them on the deserted plains and leave them to their fate!
It's just that there are a lot of people in this group, there are more than 100 people in total.
They had bedrolls on their backs and food.
I have a cart, a shovel, and a pickaxe in my hands. I dig a nest in the ground at night and burn a few piles of charcoal fire to keep warm and drive away wild beasts.
Thinking about it, they would definitely have to suffer some hardship tonight, but there was no big problem in terms of safety.
The wilderness is barren and cannot support a large wolf pack.
A pack of 20 or so wolves would not dare attack so many people.
And the reason why I want to throw some coal to them and let them light the fire to keep warm is because the hearts of these people are a little darker.
But behind each of them, there is an old mother leaning on the door looking forward to them, and there are several wives, children and children who miss them all the time.
If these miners were buried in the wilderness, it would cut off the hope of life for their entire family.
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.
But I am just an ordinary person, and I can't do such decisive things...
