In the end, Fatty failed to accept Gu Mian's suggestion to follow the car.
He resignedly sat down on the car seat, and then Gu Mian hit the gas and drove north along the road.
The tricycle barely managed to reach the vicinity of the coal mine base. When Gu Mian saw the coal mine base from a distance, the tricycle let out a whimper and then died.
Gu Mian jumped down with the chair legs and looked at the fat man: "It's all because you are too heavy."
The fat man also rolled down quickly: "I am just puffy... puffy..."
A huge coal mine base is located ahead.
Gu Mian saw a tall mountain over there. When he was studying geography, he seemed to have learned that coal resources were distributed near the mountains. Now it seems that these laws are still useful in the copy.
Several large buildings were built in front of the tall mountain, and a row of iron railings semi-surrounded those buildings, along with a small part of the mountain.
The huge iron door faced the two of them, and there seemed to be some big characters hanging on it.
It was too dark and they couldn't see the writing on the door here.
"Let's go and have a look over there." Gu Mian walked forward.
The fat man also quickly took out a flashlight to follow. The road here was uneven and full of potholes. It was the middle of the night, and he might fall into a ditch if he wasn't careful.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, the two walked fairly smoothly, and arrived in front of the large iron gate in a few minutes.
Gu Mian looked up and saw the words "Mining City Coal Mine Base" hanging on the door.
There was a building not far behind the iron gate. Gu Mian was now closer and could see it more clearly.
It seemed to be a staff building, a place for coal miners to live.
The fat man stood in front of the door and sighed: "This dormitory building is so big, how many workers can live there..."
"After all, it claims to be the largest coal mine base in the world, but I feel that this base seems quite shabby. Could it be that the largest coal mine in the world is just like this?" Gu Mian pushed the iron door.
The fat man shined a flashlight in and said, "Doctor, please pay attention, we are live broadcasting."
As he spoke, he pointed at the tracking device above his head.
Gu Mian closed her mouth at the right moment.
The door was not locked and opened with a push. The two of them did not need to climb over the wall or break down the door.
The fat man looked at the buildings in front of him.
There are three buildings in the field of view that are obviously staff accommodation buildings, because each room has a balcony, and some of the rooms have underwear hanging on the clothes drying pole. I don’t know how many years they have been hanging on it. There are already birds.
A nest was made inside.
There is also a slightly shorter building that looks like a restaurant. It seems that these coal miners usually live in the coal mine base.
This place is not as nice as the tourist brochure says, on the contrary it is very dirty.
Probably because it is located against a mountain, there are many dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, and grass has grown on the dirt road.
Gu Mian saw that the grass beside the dormitory building had grown almost as high as the window.
"How many years has this been abandoned...cough cough?" The fat man coughed twice and covered his nose.
This place is full of dirt roads and coal deposits, so there is a lot of dust. Taking a deep breath makes my throat feel itchy.
The fat man held a flashlight and shone his light around, as if he was afraid that a monster would suddenly rush up. "Speaking of which, doctor, we have to be careful. I have worked in a mine before, and there are usually not many people who have died in this kind of place..."
Gu Mian glanced at him: "Why have you done everything?"
Maintenance workers, truck drivers, and miners all sound like hard work.
"I was tricked by an old man. In fact, I wanted to inherit my father's business and go home to be a teacher. But before I could graduate, my miserable old man jumped up to the sky. I digress. I will continue.
Talking about the mine..."
Gu Mian walked forward in silence.
He didn't plan to look for any clues in the dormitory building.
Because there are so many dormitories, it would take several days to search them one by one.
Unless he could dig out some important clues directly from the bird's nest in the crotch of the underwear hanging on the balcony.
The fat man said to himself as he followed Gu Mian: "Mining accidents happen quite frequently. I only worked in a coal mine factory for a few months, and I saw a big mining accident."
"I just went there a few days ago and started interning with the old man who tricked me into going there. Later, the old man went into the mine once and never came up again."
"It is said that it collapsed while digging, burying more than a hundred people alive. Later, the rescue team worked desperately to rescue seven or eight people who were about to die. The faces of the remaining ones were blue when they were dug out."
"At that time, our factory had rows of mourning sheds set up. It was hard to see them at a glance. They were all covered in white flowers and made my eyes hurt."
"The dead were all covered with white cloths. When my wife came, she didn't know where her husband was. She knelt on the ground and cried, crying so heartbreakingly."
"Some children are too young and don't know what happened, so they keep trying to lift the white curtain and say they want to find their father."
"There was a village near the coal mine, and most of the workers were recruited from that village. The people in that village cried so hard that their voices became hoarse."
"Those men had known that they might die at any time, so they bought insurance early, thinking that if they died that day, at least their wives and children could use their hard-earned money to have a hot meal."
When the fat man said this, he sighed: "They must have been resentful when they died. They were buried alive and couldn't wait for anyone to save them. If they wanted to, I would go crazy."
As he spoke, he looked forward: "If the conflict you mentioned, doctor, really happened in this coal mine base, I guess there must have been a mining accident or something like that."
At this time, the two of them had arrived at a mine.
The mine does not really look like a well, but opens on the side of the mountain like a city gate, and the entrance is very large.
Gu Mian then took a look inside with the flashlight. The entrance of the mine was diagonally downward, and something like a train track extended from the entrance. Gu Mian didn't know what it was.
He looked at the dark cave in front of him, and then at the flashlight in the fat man's hand next to him.
The fat man's scalp felt numb: "I said doctor... you don't want to go in and have a look, do you?"
Gu Mian turned to look at him: "You are so smart with your little head."
