Chapter 619
The day after the Winter Solstice.

After getting up early and having breakfast, Xiang Yisen took Yu Qing and Ruan Xiuhua to the gas station in the north of the city to join another team.

The other team was from the Bureau of Mining, led by Lin Jiang, and they were riding in a green jeep.

When Xiang Yisen's off-road vehicle arrived, they had already filled up the gas and were ready to wait for them after paying the money, so they came.

"It's better to come early than to come by coincidence. We are waiting for you, and you will arrive." Lin Jiang put the refueling receipt in his bag, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to refuel?"

"Our car is full of gas, what else do you need to do?"

Xiang Yisen noticed that there were two other people standing beside them waiting. According to their previous arrangement, these two should be laboratory technicians.

He jumped out of the car, took three packs of Marlboro from the car and gave them, "If there is nothing to do, we will start right away."

"Go up the mountain sooner rather than later, since we are ready, let's go." Lin Jiang asked the other two colleagues to get in the car, and he himself sat in the driver's seat.

The reason why Wutouling is called Wutouling is because the mountain is high and the road is steep. Five mountains are connected to form a mountainous area. The villages living in the mountainous area are sparsely populated and generally poor. Most of the villages at the foot of the mountain are built with green brick houses.

The villagers on the mountain use the oldest method to build their houses. They use yellow mud to make mud houses. Low, damp and insufficient light are the common problems of this kind of houses.

This shows how poor and primitive the life of the villagers in mountainous areas is, and inconvenient transportation has become an important factor hindering their development.

The five mountains are marked by the Bureau of Mines with each peak from A to E.

The roads leading to the mountain were all built by the mine owners who were mining on the mountain in order to transport the ore down the mountain.

The temporarily dug dirt road was not specially hardened. After being rolled by Dongfeng trucks, the road surface was full of potholes, and sometimes a puddle could sink a bicycle.

In such unbearable road conditions, neither car could go fast, nor did they dare to go fast.

The dirt road is winding up the mountain, and the side of the mountain is okay, but the periphery is a high and steep slope, and there is no concrete pier built by later generations to block the edge of the road.

If the vehicle rolls off the side of the road, there is absolutely no way to survive, and the only thing waiting is the car crash and death.

This kind of road conditions is the most test of people's driving skills, especially when two cars meet each other, it is even more difficult to avoid other vehicles on the already narrow road section.

As soon as Xiang Yisen went up the mountain, he put up [-]% of his energy and didn't dare to be distracted at all.

It took two hours of tense nerves to reach Area A, which is also one of the peaks of Wutouling.

Park the vehicle on the side of the road, and several people get out of the car and walk.

After Lin Jiang's introduction, Yu Qing and the three of them knew that there were mines in several valleys of this mountain, and some mines were already being dug.

Yu Qing raised her eyebrows: "This mountain is so rich in minerals?"

The mountain road is rugged, Lin Jiang told them to be careful, and smiled and answered her: "Whether the underground minerals are rich or not, it has not yet been determined. Other mines dug by others have not yet formed a scale. This mountain only started digging at the beginning of this year. of."

"Oh."

Yu Qing nodded half-understanding. Mining on this mountain is like buying a lottery ticket. If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money if you dig a vein.If you are unlucky enough to dig for a few months and fail to find any ore, then it is not an exaggeration to go bankrupt!

Lin Jiang took them to see several mine sites, and the survey and sampling were all completed by the two professionals hired by Xiang Yisen.

Finally, we arrived at the so-called A5 mining site, where the mine has been initially built, but it has not been dug deeply.

Zeng Ken and Liang Jun, who invited Lin Jiang to dinner yesterday, had already been waiting here for their arrival. They introduced the mine calmly, showing no sign of their eagerness to transfer the mine yesterday.

With the investment of a large sum of money, it is impossible for them to make a decision immediately, and everything will be discussed after the test report comes out.

After wandering down several hills, everyone was very tired. Yu Qing raised her wrist to look at the time, it was almost one o'clock, no wonder she was so hungry.

Passing by a mine, a lot of huts were built with bamboo and trees on the slope next to the entrance of the hut. Many people were squatting or standing on the ground in front of the huts, and they were eating lunch with bowls of rice in their hands.

Lin Jiang turned around and asked everyone: "It's already noon. It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. It takes at least three hours to get back to the city after going down the mountain. Shall we have lunch with them?"

Both Yu Qing and Xiang Yisen didn't respond immediately, but took a look at the food in their pots when they passed the thatched hut where they cooked food.

The rice is regular white rice. There are two dishes, one meat dish and one vegetarian dish.

The vegetarian dish is Chinese cabbage, and the meat dish is fried pork with potatoes. Most of the meat in the pot is fatty meat, which is full of oil and water.

The conditions on the mountain are harsh. If the food is not enough oil and water, these physical miners will not be able to bear it physically.

Seeing the fat in the basin made Yu Qing startled, forget about the fat, she has good eyesight, just now when she saw the fat with the skin attached, the pig's fur was not burnt, and there were short pig hairs on the skin.

Seeing the miners eating with gusto, Yu Qing's throat became tight and stiff.

Xiang Yisen naturally noticed that although they were not picky eaters, they really couldn't swallow this dish.

"Forget it, we won't compete with them for food. We have prepared some food in the car. If you don't mind, let's go back and eat something to fill our stomachs."

Lin Jiang was so hungry that he decided to have a meal here, but he didn't expect such a surprise, "You guys are so well prepared that you even brought food. So what are you waiting for, let's go."

The others were also very happy, and finally they didn't have to eat at the mine.

Yu Qing chuckled, after hearing Xiang Yisen tell how far away this mountain forest was yesterday, she asked him to bring a lot of bread and pastries home from the bakery in the afternoon.

In the evening, Aunt Qiu and the others made a lot of cooked food, and all of them were moved into the car this morning. The preparations were so full that they were worried that they would not be able to go down the mountain in time to get hungry.

"Don't say, there is good water in the mountains. This is really true. After entering the mountains, I found that the streams in the mountains are really clear."

Yu Qing asked Xiang Yisen to open the trunk of the car, lifted the bucket of cooked food, and took off the picnic plastic sheet along the way.

There is a stream next to the road, and the water is crystal clear.

Lin Jiang often wanders around the mountains and rivers in Yicheng due to work reasons, so he has a better understanding of the situation in the mountains.

Hearing this, he said with a smile: "The villagers who live on the mountainside, there is no well water in the village at all. Their daily water is directly connected to the water from the mountain. Every household uses bamboo to connect the water to the door of the house. It is very convenient to use water."

Yu Qing was surprised: "These streams are directly taken home for use?"

Lin Jiang nodded: "Yes."

A plastic sheet was placed by the stream, and the food was laid out. Yu Qing took a towel and went to the stream to wash her face, then sat down and took a bite of bread.

Xiang Yisen handed her the thermos: "Drink some water after walking all morning."

Lin Jiang looked at the two with a smile on his face. He didn't expect the indifferent Xiang Yisen to take good care of them after he got married.

The daughter and son-in-law are so affectionate, Ruan Xiuhua has long been used to it, he took a bite of chicken feet with pickled peppers, and was so hot that his mouth watered, "Qingqing, when did you make these chicken feet?"

"I made it last night, soaked it all night and it tastes good, is it delicious?" Yu Qing ate a few mouthfuls of bread and drank a few mouthfuls of warm water. With food in her stomach, she finally didn't feel so uncomfortable at first.

Ruan Xiuhua nodded.

Lin Jiang and the two analysts also echoed: "The taste is really unique, appetizing and chewy, enjoyable!"

Yu Qing opened a lunch box, and there were sliced ​​beef in it, "Everyone has worked hard for our affairs today, and there is still marinated beef here, everyone, try it, it tastes good."

Everyone tasted the stewed beef, and all praised the taste as very good.

Radish strips, braised beef, and soaked chicken feet are all appetizers, and they are barely half full with bread.

Everyone climbed the mountain all morning, and their stomachs were so hungry that they could swallow a cow. Yu Qing saw that everyone was still full of ideas, and went back to the car and pretended to take out another six big glutinous rice cakes from the studio.

"I still have glutinous rice cakes here. If you want to eat them, please light up the fire quickly. Let's bake glutinous rice cakes to eat."

Ruan Xiuhua looked at the glutinous rice cake in her hand, and jokingly said, "You really prepared everything, if you had more time, would you even be able to move home?"

Lin Jiang stared at the glutinous rice cake and wanted to salivate. The real glutinous rice glutinous rice cake was his favorite when he was a child. He told the other two people to quickly pick up the dead branches and firewood next to them.

It doesn't take half an hour to make a fire to bake the glutinous rice cakes. The glutinous rice cakes strung together with branches will be browned on the outside and soft and sticky on the inside. It smells of burnt aroma, and even the teeth can stick to it after a bite. It's so hot that Lin Jiang can't stop breathing.

After eating the glutinous rice cakes with huge faces, everyone lies down or sits and does not want to move, and rests when they are full. This day is like a god.

Yu Qing herself is a woman who doesn't feel ashamed to lie down like their men. She really doesn't want to move when she sits on a big rock. She has climbed a lot of mountains in the morning, and her calves are a little tight.

Lin Jiang looked up at the sky covered by the bamboo, and after eating and drinking, he thought about other things, "Do you think there are persimmon trees or chestnut trees on the mountain here?"

Xiang Yisen sneered: "In this season, with these trees, they have already lost their fruit, and they are still waiting for you to pick them."

Lin Jiang frowned: "You're right, it seems that I'm full, and my mind is too lazy to turn around."

Yu Qing saw that they were all lying down and didn't want to move, so she called Xiang Yisen to walk up the creek together, and after walking a certain distance, she took out a big bucket.

"What are you doing with the bucket?" Xiang Yisen raised his eyebrows in surprise, he thought she wanted to go to the toilet, so he called him to stand guard.

"Get water." Yu Qing stared at him with such stupid eyes: "This is the best and pollution-free alpine spring water. We make a big bucket and store it in the studio. Later, when we want to make tea at home, we can use this water to make tea. The tea brewed must be different from the tap water brewed at home."

Xiang Yisen didn't expect his wife to be so out-of-the-box, and nodded with a chuckle: "You're right, let's take a bucket and try it out. If the tea tastes good, we'll bring back some more next time. "

After resting for half an hour, Yu Qing came back with water.

Lin Jiang was about to say something, but Xiang Yisen opened his mouth one step ahead of him: "It's getting late, we should go back."

Put out the fire and pack your things.On the way back, I realized that going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult, and going down the mountain is a downhill road. You must be more careful when driving, and you must not wander off in your thoughts.

On the way, when passing a village with several families, the car was blocked.

A Dongfeng truck carrying fertilizer in front is reversing.

Yu Qing looked at the not-so-wide road ahead, and seriously doubted that the car could back out?

"What did the driver think? Can the car be reversed in this place?"

Ruan Xiuhua stretched his neck to look forward, observed the surroundings, and shook his head: "I see Xuan, the driver must have been cornered, and he is reversing the car, but judging by his skills, he should be an old driver."

The front was blocked, and Lin Jiang who was following turned off the engine, got out of the car and walked over, "Brother Sen, even if we mine on this dirt road in the future, transportation may be a big problem."

The dirt road is too narrow, and two cars have to be careful when meeting each other, which is really frightening.

Xiang Yisen also turned off the fire, wait slowly.

"We have no way to solve this problem. If we want to mine, no matter which mountain it is mined in, the transportation will be the same, and it will be the status quo."

Lin Jiang and Xiang Yisen were chatting one after another, and the bored Yu Qing stared at the driver in front of him reversing, wondering how the driver backed out today?
I don't know what's going on, but after staring at it for a while, I always feel that something is weird, and I feel a little flustered.

She tugged Xiang Yisen who was chatting with Lin Jiang: "I always feel that something is wrong, do you see something wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Xiang Yisen asked inexplicably, at this moment he was confused and didn't understand what she meant.

At the same time, Yu Qing's eyelids jumped up, she pressed her left eyelid, "I'm a little flustered, I always feel that something is wrong with the car in front of me reversing, can you see what's wrong?"

After hearing her words, several people subconsciously stared forward at the truck backing up.

Lin Jiang looked at it for a while, "It's normal, there's nothing wrong with it." It's just that the car backed up for a long time.

Both Ruan Xiuhua and Xiang Yisen knew her well, and knew that she was not a random person.

They frowned and carefully observed the truck that was backing up in front.

After a while, Xiang Yisen patted the steering wheel, and at the same time, his heart rose to the door of his throat, "I know what's wrong!"

After that, he opened the door and wanted to get out of the car, but Lin Jiang who was lying outside the car door was pushed by him, almost pushing him into the ditch by the roadside.

He was a little out of breath, but also curious about what was wrong.

Angrily said: "You are in such a hurry to reincarnate!"

But as soon as Xiang Yisen stepped on the ground with one foot, Yu Qing couldn't help screaming outside the car: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't fall! Don't fall! Stop!"

With this scream, everyone's attention was turned to the front in an instant. If you didn't know it, you almost lost your soul when you saw it!
I saw that the roadbed around the road had cracked and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The roadbed has collapsed, and the trucks parked on it must have fallen along with it.

Finished!

Finished!

This is the voice of everyone at the moment.

No one is able to turn the tide in this instant.

Everyone, including the person standing on the road directing the truck to back up, was stunned!
I watched helplessly as the truck fell down a steep slope of tens of meters like a toy car
Lin Jiang stammered, "This, this, this, this"

The person in front directing the truck to back up was the first to move, followed by the people behind, all running to the side of the road to look down.

Yu Qing's legs are weak, she can't imagine how miserable this truck is!
