Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 688
It's cold in the mine,
It seems that people's hearts are also covered with a layer of frost, and finally frozen into a lump of ice.

The mine is deep,
The darkness and silence make people straighten their backs and shortness of breath. The further they go inside, the more they feel that they are one step closer to the Netherworld.

In this period,
Even in those authentic public mines, there is no real "safe house" in the roadway that can make people feel at ease.

Therefore,
In the mine of Doujiapan Coal Mine, don't expect them to spend huge sums of money to build "safe houses" and "emergency shelters" for the miners who go down the mine.

"Boom-"

"Ji-gu-ji-"

With the simple braking device on the dump truck, the ear-piercing friction sound sounded, and a long line of dump trucks finally stopped slowly.

"Get out of the car, everyone must remember what I told you at the mouth of the well."

The foreman was the first to open the wire cover, and then got out of the three-way car, "Everyone pay attention when talking in the coal mine, and don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it."

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes!"

Afterwards, everyone went to their respective working areas and was busy mining and transporting coal.

Workers who go down the well have many taboos and taboos.

For example, in mines, the number one taboo is not to whistle.

It is said that this is because of Taishang Lord's nickname, so it is called "Shao". To Taishang Laojun, call him by his nickname?
In that case, it is estimated that Taishang Laojun will be very angry, and once he is angry, the consequences will be very serious.

But in fact, whistling is not allowed in the mine. The real reason is: the mine is empty. If everyone whistles there, it is likely to be amplified by the cavity effect.

The fine coal sand on the shaking mine walls and the roof of the mine began to scatter, which caused a butterfly effect, causing larger stones to fall off, and finally caused a landslide.

Another reason is that many people like to whistle when they boo.

So in the subconscious of the miners, whistling has the meaning of "summoning water".

And in the mine, what is the consequence of encountering a blowout?
Another very important reason is that whistling can easily make other miners who have worked hard to mine coal and are in a trance due to lack of energy, mistakenly think that the alarm is sounding.

Because in the coal mine, sometimes the cannons are fired, perhaps because of other dangers.

Often at this time, someone will sound the alarm.

If someone whistles, if you don't pay attention, it may be mistaken for the alarm, which will cause unnecessary panic and stampede accidents.

Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to whistle in the well, this is the first taboo.

And there are many other urgencies: for example, no smoking, no talking about things related to death.

No rats in the well, not even any small creatures, etc.

The miners who went down this time were in groups of 6, and 3 of them were responsible for digging on the mining face.

The other 2 people are responsible for transporting the mined coal to the dump truck with a trolley.

When the miners who have been digging along the coal seam are tired, the three people who are responsible for loading the truck will go up.

Luo Xuan and Jian Teng, the second brother Zeng, and a new miner named Hua Guang.

Together with two other old miners as a group, they are responsible for digging coal in a small tunnel.

When the big guys start working, the foreman will take turns to go to the working face of each excavation team in order to monitor everyone's work progress.

Wait until the foreman turns around.

Jian Teng asked an old miner: "Uncle, how long have you been working here?"

The man just put his head down and worked hard: "It's been three years."

"Ah, so long?"

Jian Teng felt very surprised: "Then did you get paid?"

The man replied: "I got it and sent it back."

Perhaps it was because he was afraid that Jian Teng would not believe his words and would ask questions later.

The man added another sentence: "I have received several letters from my son, and I have read them carefully. My family is fine.

This year, my family raised two pigs, and the production team didn't take care of them.

My eldest son's marriage change is almost done.The second child was admitted to a high school in the county. It's a pity that the school was suspended and he was not allowed to go to school. "

The man sighed: "The youngest girl in my family is having a confrontation with her mother, saying that she doesn't want to change marriages for her elder brother."

Everyone's sorrow and joy are not common.

The man's eldest son's marriage was not successful, perhaps in Jian Teng's eyes, it may not be important whether he can eat a piece of greasy braised pork when he goes to the cafeteria to eat after get off work today.

But what this person said was vivid and detailed.

Come to think of it, he did get paid.And his family did receive the hard-earned money he sent back.

Jian Teng asked him: "Uncle, can you save 300 yuan a year?"

"How is that possible!"

The man shook his head: "I'm one of the hard-working people who work in the mine, and I can earn five or sixty yuan a month.

It's a pity that working in this mine is expensive!I also quit smoking and stopped drinking.A week, I only play meat dishes with others once.For this, I am open all year round, and I can only send back 180 yuan to my family. "

Looking at the thin face of the uncle in front of him, and his body that has become thin and bone-framed.

Jian Teng sighed, "Looks like I have to learn from Uncle, you have to work hard for a year. You can also send some money back home."

The uncle chuckled: "This is all a hard work of exchanging human flesh for pork and diluting tears with sweat. Diligence and thrift are indispensable. Otherwise, you will not be able to save a few dollars."

After hearing this man's words, Jian Teng took it very seriously: in life, if the reincarnation skills are not good enough.Then the two virtues of diligence and thrift are indispensable.

This is equivalent to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, neither of which can be missed.

Jian Teng heard that what he said made sense, bent down to pick up the shovel, and was about to implement the word "diligence" with practical actions.

At this moment,

But I heard a coal miner next to me say, "Uncle Tong, you should stop fooling others! I know that your family is poor, your family is suffering, and your burden is heavy.

But you can't go against your conscience and help the Black Heart Mine to fool everyone. "

The uncle with the same surname looked gloomy, and then heaved a heavy sigh: "But I'm not talking nonsense, right? My family did receive it, isn't it the wages I sent back?

And what else could be done otherwise?

Anyway, the people who come to work in this mine are all poor people, and they all want to earn some hard money to go home.

What good would it be if I told them that no matter how economical he was, he could hardly save any money if he worked all year round?It's just that he makes them work, which makes them even less motivated and hopeless. "

The miner next to him said, "Uncle, take a rest first, and go to the tunnel opening and watch."

Uncle Tong hesitated a little.

After all, he put down the pickaxe in his hand and went to watch the coal mining face and the entrance of the roadway behind.

Wait until Uncle Tong leaves.

The miner stopped what he was doing and sat down on the coal seam to catch his breath: "Young man, what we said today, we can say it wherever we say it, and throw it away wherever we say it, and you must not spread it.

Otherwise, it would not be uncommon for you and me to be beaten badly, or if it was more severe, for them to remove a leg or a hand. "

Luo Xuan stared at the middle-aged miner in front of him, and asked him: "Since you know that these words are spread, the consequences will be serious. Then why do you still say it?"

The man looked up.

He glanced at Luo Xuan lightly, then smiled slightly: "Because... I want to escape!"

Don't wait for Luo Xuan to ask again.

The man said to himself: "You two little brothers, don't doubt it. Among the many miners, there are spies arranged by the mine!
I see that you are all newcomers, and you may not have been recruited by those people in the mine, just give them two bones, and be willing to act as traitors for them, so I dare to tell you this. "

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. My surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Xiangyu. I'm from Zhou Kou's side. I've been here for two years."

Through Hanzi's explanation,
Only then did Luo Xuan, Jian Teng, and Zeng Erge understand: they are indeed very skilled in managing this Doujiapan coal mine.

Among the eight groups of miners who went down the mine, a total of more than 220 people, there were indeed some who could send some money home by the end of the year.

But such lucky people account for a very small proportion.

Only those miners who work extremely hard and have to dig coal with all their might regardless of their own health.

They can get a little high salary.

High wages alone are not enough, because the coal mines will try their best to squeeze out the wages of the miners.

So there is only that kind, whenever you work, you risk your life to do it every day.

And in daily life, you have to be very, very careful, and you need to be very economical.

For example, the same uncle just now, he can indeed send back 170 or 180 yuan to his family every year.

But this Uncle Tong, he not only worked hard when he was working.And he basically doesn't take a bath or wash his face.

Neither smoke nor drink, not even buy a bar of soap, not buy a toothpaste.

Uncle Tong only eats meat three times a month, and the total amount of pork he eats will not exceed half a catty.

You know, digging coal in wells is hard work.

If you don't eat something high in protein, your body won't be able to handle it.

More than that,
This Uncle Tong is secretly an eyeliner among the miners in the coal mine, and the mine will subsidize him with 6 yuan every month.

If you think about it, you will know: when working so hard like working with the uncle and living a normal life, his personal needs in all aspects have been compressed to the extreme.

In addition to the coal mine, there is still 72 yuan for his bones after one year.

In this way, he can only send back about 170 yuan a year.

Just like the uncle, he is already like a ceiling among the miners in the coal mine.

How can someone else send back 170 yuan a year?

Ordinary miners work so hard that they can send back 7 to 80 yuan to their families when they grow up in one year.

If you want to earn a little more money, it is almost impossible.

Unless others are the same as Uncle Tong: working recklessly and living shamelessly.

And more importantly: I have to feed my conscience to the Tibetan mastiff.

He had to be so determined that he would be willing to sell his companion anytime and anywhere in exchange for a little bone reward.

At the end of the year, if you want to send more money home, you have to do the above three points, all of which are indispensable.

This difficulty is very high!
It's just that Luo Xuan doesn't care about how he can achieve the same level as the uncle.

All I care about is: How can I rescue Chen Xiaobai?
The more cruel and vicious the methods used by the coal mines to treat the miners.

Then when he takes action and cleans up those guys who gave birth and have no assholes, he will become more cruel and ruthless!
Luo Xuan remained silent.

Jian Teng asked the man: "Brother, I see that this coal mine has thugs and dogs that look like lions.

I heard that outside the fence, there are dogs on horseback patrolling.I'm afraid it's not easy to escape, right? "

"Of course it's not easy to escape, and there is absolutely no escape!"

The man smiled wryly: "Last month, there were two men from Yuzhou who tried to climb over the fence and escape in the dark, but they were finally bitten to death by those Tibetan mastiffs."

"And during the Chinese New Year last year, there were also three of my fellow villagers. They chose to run out from the mountain at Yaokou."

Tears flickered in the man's eyes: "It is said that one of them was shot in the head. It was opened like a watermelon on the spot."

Jian Teng's scalp exploded when he heard this: "Then there are two brothers?"

"There's one left. It's at the coal mine's loading and unloading yard, loading coal into trucks every day."

The man wiped away his tears: "there is another one who can't be seen when he was alive, and whose body can't be seen when he died. I heard that he was tied up and thrown to feed the wolves on the wasteland. However, I don't know whether this is true or not. "

Second brother Zeng is more cautious.

After listening to the man's narration, he asked him, "Brother, since you know that uncle just now is an eyeliner planted among us by the mine. Are you not afraid of him telling the truth?"

"Hehe, the last guy who was an informer in our team."

The man Gu Xiangyu chuckled, "Here, he died in that position. Don't look at me. It was a piece of coal gangue falling from his head. It has nothing to do with me. Really! I'm facing this miner's lamp swear."

"Old veterans in this team, only me and Lao Tong are left."

Gu Xiangyu smiled and said, "Since I'm not a spy, who else can there be besides Lao Tong?"

Gu Xiangyu in front of him, he didn't finish his sentence: Lao Tong is a spy, and Lao Tong also knows that Gu Xiangyu knows that he is the sixth son.

Between the two of them, there may be some fellow countrymen, or even relatives.

This is a matter of friendship, but it is not enough for the two of them to be so polite in front of their interests.

Maybe the old man has people from the coal mine backing him up, but this Gu Xiangyu in front of him is thoughtful and ruthless.

The two of them have some concerns about each other, but more about each other.

That's why Lao Tong and Gu Xiangyu can have a tacit understanding and live in peace with each other.

— in a place like this.

Don't talk about relatives or not, it's useless!
Don't talk about fellow countrymen or fellow countrymen, bang, when it's time to shoot, everyone can't wait to take a shot in the other's back.

At last,
Gu Xiangyu asked Luo Xuan, Jian Teng and Zeng Erge: "Think about it these days, do you want to run away with me?"

Jian Teng was deep in thought, while Zeng's second brother was hesitating.

"Don't run away."

Luo Xuan thought for a while, and immediately gave the other party a very affirmative answer, "Don't say whether you can escape successfully. Just say that we escaped. How can we go home when we are penniless?"

"Even if we were begging along the way, bypassing layers of checkpoints."

Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and replied: "We are empty-handed, even if we return home, how will we face our family?"

"Working here, at least I can support myself."

Luo Xuan seemed to have made up his mind and vowed to carry the coal mining business to the end: "Besides, as long as I work hard, even if I can send back 60 yuan by the end of the year, at least my family can live well." good year."

Job opportunities are extremely rare during this period.

Working hard in a coal mine is a bit more bitter and a bit more dangerous.

But at any rate, two dollars can still be left behind, right?
The life of the poor is worthless, and many people want to work for others, but they can't sell it!
When Gu Xiangyu heard what Luo Xuan said, his sharp-edged face immediately sank.
