Mo Shouchen let go of the stone statue, and Li Wei and Liu Fugui who were holding him were instantly sucked in by the power in the stone door.
At this time, the stone door has been closed until there is only a palm-sized gap left, which is definitely impossible for normal people to pass through.
However, Li Wei and Liu Fugui, who were sucked to the crack of the door, only got stuck for a moment, and then they squeezed in through the crack of the door like two human balloons.
"No……"
The miserable screams of Li Wei and Liu Fugui disappeared into the stone door, but Mo Shouchen, who was pulled by them, was blocked outside the stone door.
With a "bang", Mo Shouchen hit the stone door hard, and then fell to the ground. He suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and then he lost consciousness.
I don't know how much time passed, but Mo Shouchen suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that everything in front of him was pitch black.
He touched around again, but there was no stone door around him. Could it be that he just had a nightmare?
But this nightmare was too real. He could still vividly remember the desperate and resentful look in Li Wei and Liu Fugui's eyes when they were sucked into the stone gate.
He rubbed his temples vigorously and stopped thinking about the dream.
Although he felt exhausted, he knew that if he didn't move again, he would really have to be with the miners who died in the mining accident.
He held on to the mine wall and continued to walk forward with difficulty. By the end, he was completely numb.
Apart from hunger and thirst, he didn't feel any other feelings. His legs just moved forward mechanically, and his mind went blank.
Mo Shouchen thought he would slowly walk toward death in the darkness, but it wasn't until a gleam of light appeared in front of him that the hope of life ignited in his heart.
The light came through a hole, just big enough to accommodate his body.
He used his last bit of strength to squeeze out of the hole because the light was too dazzling.
He couldn't open his eyes.
But he could feel the warmth of the sun shining on his body and the gentle breeze blowing on his face.
The feeling of being alive...is so good.
Mo Shouchen lay on his back on the ground for a long time. After his eyes adapted to the light outside, he got up from the ground, then picked a few leaves and stuffed them into his mouth.
The bitter taste spread rapidly in his mouth, but he was really hungry, so after chewing the leaves, he swallowed the contents in his mouth.
After wolfing down a few more leaves, Mo Shouchen finally had the strength to observe the situation around him.
He found that he was in a forest. There were some slopes on the ground, indicating that this place should be on a mountain.
He walked down the hillside for some distance and came to the outskirts of the black coal mine.
The black coal kiln is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only entrance and exit is sealed by a large iron gate and is always guarded.
The other places that can be left are either cliffs or surrounded by barbed wire. If you don't go through the iron gate, there is no way to leave this black coal kiln.
Mo Shouchen couldn't help but sigh, if it hadn't been for the mining accident, the possibility of him escaping from the black coal mine would have been almost zero.
The location where he is now is at a high place, and he can just see the inside of the black coal kiln.
He saw two corpses on the ground next to the cage shaft. They should be the victims who died outside the main tunnel during the mine accident.
Mo Shouchen also saw an older miner take out two red ropes and tie them around the ankles of the two corpses.
It seems that Liu Fugui did not lie. There is indeed a custom here of tying a red rope around the ankles of victims.
"Hehe, you are really lucky!"
Mo Shouchen was about to get up and leave when he suddenly heard someone talking behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the thug who beat him in the cafeteria.
The thug walked up and grabbed the collar of Mo Shouchen's neck, and then scolded: "You want to escape? There is no way! Come on, come back with me!"
Mo Shouchen was so weak that he could be knocked down by a gust of wind, and he had no strength to resist, so he could only let the thugs pull him back to the black coal mine.
After returning to the black coal mine, the thugs took Mo Shouchen to the door of the only brick house in the mine. While knocking on the door, he shouted: "Boss, I caught a deserter!"
The door opened from the inside, and Mo Shouchen was roughly pushed into the house by the thugs.
Behind the boss's desk in the room sat a man in his thirties with a short haircut. He had a cold face and looked very unhappy.
The thug described how he caught Mo Shouchen in an embellished manner. It seemed that this guy should be the boss of this black coal mine.
After listening to the thug's story, Cun Tou waved his hand and said, "You did a good job. I'll give you an extra two thousand as your bonus this month. Okay, go ahead and do your work."
The thug nodded and bowed out of the room, then closed the door outside.
Cun Tou looked at Mo Shouchen coldly at first, and after a moment, he said, "How did you escape?"
There was nothing to hide, so Mo Shouchen told the story of his escape from the mine.
Of course, he didn't say anything about what happened to Li Wei and Liu Fugui.
When Mo Shouchen said that all the miners who went down the mine last night were dead, Cun Tou showed no expression, as if those dead lives had nothing to do with him.
And after hearing how Mo Shouchen escaped, Cun Tou did not rush to arrange for people to find the abandoned mine tunnel, but pointed to the cabinet on the side.
He said to the men beside him: "Find this person's contract for me, and then give me a new contract."
The subordinate quickly found Mo Shouchen's labor contract from the cabinet and handed it to Cun Po along with a new contract.
After Cun Guan took over, he tore up the old contract and wrote a few words on the new contract, and finally threw the contract in front of Mo Shouchen.
"Put your fingerprints on this." Cun Tou pointed at the contract and ordered.
Mo Shouchen took a look at the contents of the contract and couldn't help but frown. He saw that the service period actually said 50 years.
"What's the meaning?"
"What do you mean?" Cun Tou chuckled, "My mine has always been fine, but something happened as soon as you came here. Who else could have done it if it wasn't you?"
"I'm a kind-hearted person, so I don't need you to pay for it. Just work in my mine for the rest of your life to pay off your debt!"
Hearing that Cuntou used such a far-fetched reason to blame himself for the mining disaster, Mo Shouchen almost exploded with anger.
He angrily tore up the contract in front of him and threw it in Cuntou's face.
Cuntou looked up at the falling pieces of paper, with a sinister smile on his lips.
He stood up and took out a metal baseball bat from under the table, and then ordered the two men around him: "You two, put his hands on the table!"
The two men immediately rushed forward and subdued Mo Shouchen, who was trying to struggle, and then pinned his hands firmly on the table.
Cuntou walked around the table and walked to Mo Shouchen. He said coldly: "No one here dares to throw anything in my face. Since your hands are so dishonest, let me help you destroy them."
!”
"But don't worry, even if you don't have hands, it won't delay your work. You can take the place of the mule and go to the mine to pull the cart."
After saying that, Cun Tou raised the baseball bat high, but just when he was about to smash it down, the door suddenly burst open.
The thug who had just left stumbled in and shouted in a panic: "Boss, it's bad, someone is fighting up the mountain!"
