Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder Girl's Counterattack

Chapter 92
At 02:30 the next morning, my eldest brother and I got up quietly, daring to disturb my sister-in-law who was sleeping in the back room, and prepared to go out.

We've never been, gotta go early.

Wearing a thick cotton coat, wearing a scarf around the neck and wearing mask gloves, I threw those shovels and hooks into several flour bags. Without a light, I found a half-old flashlight and wrapped a few in cotton cloth. The steamed buns and pickled vegetables were thrown into the bicycle basket together, and then they set off.

It was still dark outside, and I was sitting on the back seat of my eldest brother's car, who was riding the bicycle quickly in the cold wind.The eldest brother doesn't talk much, but I still feel at ease when I'm with him.

The gangue hill is located very far away, almost reaching the suburbs.

We walked along the railway as told by my aunt. After nearly an hour, we finally saw a tall black stone mountain. The coal gangue there was as high as a five-story building, and the range was nearly 1000 meters. , There are big rocks everywhere, and I don’t know how many years it has accumulated.

We got there early enough, but while we were there, someone was already picking it up.

A few people squatted over there with bags and carefully searched among the stones, but they couldn't tell whether they were men or women.

Someone moved quickly, using a broom to sweep up the soot on the ground and throwing it into their pockets, while someone squatted on the ground with a hammer and smashed down the rocks with a little bit of coal, and put them into their pockets.There were also a few young and strong men standing on the mountainside, violently turning the stones with shovels, bringing up a large amount of dust and dust, and those turned stones rolled down in lumps, which was very dangerous.

I saw a stone fly directly over the flying head of an old lady, and the difference was less than ten centimeters.The old lady didn't care at all, she glanced at it and continued to pick it up.

The eldest brother took the bag and walked forward: "Qiaoer! You stand for a while, I, I will look for it."

"I'll go with you!" I quickly followed.

At our feet and in front of our eyes, the mountain is full of stones, some are as big as a millstone, and some are as big as a potato. Most of them are gray-black stones. Only some stones have a little bit of coal on them. I found those The stone with coal smashed the coal on it and threw it into the bag.

Both of us are here for the first time, and the light of the flashlight is not very good, so our sorting action is extremely slow.There was nothing to burn, so I used a broom to carefully sweep the coal surface in the crevice of the stone into the shovel.

After searching for a long time, it was dawn, and only less than one-third of the bags were swept away, and all of them were of particularly poor quality. I saw a big man walking over with two baskets of fairly good quality coal. We are also very envious.

At this moment, someone shouted: "Get out of the way, the car overturned!"

As soon as the voice fell, I heard the rumbling sound of trucks on the top of the mountain. Those trucks brought some new waste stones, and were about to unload the trucks and throw down the newly found waste rocks.

The elder brother hurriedly pulled me to stand aside.

At the moment when the truck was unloading, a scene that surprised us happened.

Not only did almost all the people not hide, but they all rushed up. Some people used both hands and feet to quickly climb to the top of the stone mountain. On their heads was a whole load of gangue and coal surface residues rolling down. People's heads and feet flew past, and it seemed that people were about to be crushed to death countless times, but they continued to climb up without blinking their eyes and heartbeat, regardless of the stones rolling down from their sides.

The eldest brother shouted in fright: "Aren't they afraid of death? They rushed up directly!"

"Look, brother!" I held my brother back.It turned out that a large piece of half-coal and half-stone gangue fell from the top, which was as big as the top of a small table at home. The two young people rushed over like flying, hugged it and grabbed it to the side.

Their heads and faces were all covered with soot, and some small stones fell on their shoulders and thighs, but these two people didn't care at all.He directly lifted the stone and threw it aside, where a woman in black was waiting, with her head down, she smashed the coal with a hammer and put it into the basket.

The same goes for the others, they were all directly under the cart closest to them, desperately grabbing the stone that had just fallen.

The eldest brother said: "There are good things here, I will go to grab them too, you wait for me!" He jumped up quickly.

"Brother, wait for me!" I also walked up with great effort.

We couldn't snatch good coals, but we had absolutely no problem finding some that barely burned, and we filled a bag to the brim in a short time.

At this time, there was a shout from above, and another cart of gangue fell from the sky.My elder brother and I stood halfway up the mountain, and it was impossible to escape. My elder brother protected me with his clothes, and bent down to avoid these stones like everyone else.Countless flew over, the coal surface choked me to tears, I couldn't breathe at all.It's really too much to suffer!

The eldest brother yelled, and I hurriedly grabbed him: "What's the matter, you were hit?"

"No, it's not me!" He pointed behind me, and when I turned around, a middle-aged woman was squatting there with her forehead covered, and she was dripping with blood from a stone.

At this time, the man who was probably her husband shouted loudly: "Hurry up, what are you doing!" He took a large piece of gangue and threw it in her direction, not even noticing that his wife was injured, the woman threw herself The scarf wrapped around the head indiscriminately, gritted his teeth, stood up and walked over to smash the coals.

I felt sore all of a sudden, these people at the bottom are all having a hard time.

The eldest brother said: "Let's go, Qiaoer, there is a piece of wood in front of us."

My eldest brother and I hurried over, and my eldest brother grabbed a yellow wooden block about one foot out of the coal pile and threw it to me, and I put it in the bag.

Just like what I said on my body, there are not only coals, but also wood, and even wire chains in this gangue pile. Whoever picks up these things will be theirs. If you find them, you should throw them in your pocket quickly, or hesitate a little It was snatched away.We saw a big lock, but before we could do anything, it was snatched away by a middle-aged man.

We stopped talking and picked up the things in front of us without looking up.

When I was picking up a large piece of good-quality gangue, my finger was poked by a person's shovel head, but I didn't have time to pay attention to it. I threw that piece of gangue into my pocket, and I didn't even have time to look up who it was. dry.

Originally we were all wearing thick clothes, but after a while we felt completely soaked.

Reluctantly loaded a bag, when walking, almost kneeling on the ground, hungry heart kept beating wildly.

The elder brother stood up and said: "Okay, Qiaoer, take a break, I can't do it either."

His sweat flowed down continuously, mixed with soot, and his face was like a ghost drawing. I guess I didn't look much better. The two of us returned to the car with two bags of coal.

Wiping their hands with the nearby snow, each of them had a steamed bun, sat on the ground and ate the pickled lumps with big mouthfuls.

After I took such a bite, I heard a creaking sound, and the steamed buns were all covered with black coal noodles.

Wiped his mouth with snow, and continued to eat, because he was so hungry, eating such things felt like delicious food.The eldest brother wiped his sweat and said: "Qiaoer, let's pick up another bag and go home. I can go by myself. Don't move."

"No, let's do it together, so we can hurry up."

Just as the elder brother was about to speak, he heard another rumbling sound from above, knowing that the car was about to overturn again, my elder brother and I didn't care about eating, threw the steamed buns on the ground, and ran over quickly.

The law of gangue dumps is to unload four trucks in a row in the morning, so after this truck is unloaded and the contents are almost picked up, people leave one after another.My eldest brother and I were so tired that we couldn’t speak. After a short break, we gritted our teeth and transported four bags of gangue back. When I put a bag on the bicycle, the bag suddenly tore and exploded. All the coals were scattered on the ground, and one of the coals hit my foot.The eldest brother hurriedly stopped me: "Don't hurt you!"

"It's okay, my shoes are thick, but what about these lumps of coal?" I looked at the gangue on the ground and said, "I can't just throw it here like this."

The eldest brother looked around, but there was nothing to put it in. I thought about it, grabbed the turban on my head and put it in pieces.We can't let these waste rocks just be left here.
