This was Hong Erniang's first visit, and she had never seen the coal briquettes they were talking about before, so she didn't know what they looked like.
So he lowered his voice and quietly asked, "Young lady, is this coal briquette you're talking about really that magical?"
"Of course, I'll buy more this time. I'll make them into coal briquettes and dry them. You can come when it snows."
As the two were talking, they heard a loud rumbling sound outside.
Mo Zhu was still a little confused. "Did it thunder?"
The group looked at the bright sunshine outside. Surely it wasn't a bolt from the blue?
Wang Dazhuang was the first to react. His face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Oh no!" Then he ran outside like a madman.
Song Yun and He Tiantian also realized what was happening, "We're doomed."
"Quickly, go save them!"
The mine collapsed.
The people inside the house quickly ran towards the mine.
He Tiantian didn't care that her feet were aching from walking all the way. She was panting heavily, feeling the wind rushing into her mouth.
"Damn it!" Song Yun cursed inwardly as he looked at the collapsed coal mine.
There were about seven or eight coal mines operating in the area, and this time one of them collapsed.
"Dazhuang, quickly check who's missing!"
Wang Dazhuang looked at the landslide in front of him, his face even more ashen than a pig's liver.
This is the coal mine that Yonghe is in charge of. Besides a few people from other villages, there are also Zhao Mingshu and Uncle Dashui from their village!
Upon hearing the commotion, everyone quickly came out of the mine.
More than a hundred people gathered around the collapsed mine, looking on with worry.
Song Yun frowned deeply. "What are you all standing there for? Quickly grab your tools and dig the hole!"
The coal mine that Liu Yonghe was in charge of mining was quite old, reaching a depth of about ten meters.
It's considered one of the deeper mines out of all.
As soon as Director Song spoke, everyone realized what was happening. One by one, they quickly picked up shovels and began shoveling soil.
He Tiantian also grabbed some extra tools from the side and started helping.
Human life is at stake, and no one dares to slack off at this time.
"My husband, flood, flood..." Erhua's mother's voice came from afar.
She looked through the crowd one by one, but didn't see Zhao Dashui.
Erhua's mother's heart trembled. "Oh my god, my child's father..."
Erhua's mother knelt on the ground, digging at the dirt, while crying.
"Aunt Hua, go wait over there. It's hard for us to work if you're here... we can't work properly if you're here."
The spot where Erhua's mother was kneeling was blocking the two men from digging in the dirt.
But Erhua Niang only had her man in her heart at that moment, and she couldn't listen to these words.
Song Yun put down the shovel in his hand and said to Mo Zhu, "Mo Zhu, take two people and pull Aunt Hua aside."
"Director, let me go." He Tiantian handed the shovel in her hand to Mo Zhu, gesturing for Hong Erniang to come with her.
The two approached Erhua's mother from the left and right, and He Tiantian offered a few words of advice.
Erhua's mother couldn't hear anything and frantically dug at the ground.
With no other option, He Tiantian and Hong Erniang had to forcibly drag Erhua Niang aside.
"Second Sister, don't cry. Everyone is doing their best to save her."
I don't know how serious the coal mine collapse is, considering it's about ten meters deep.
If the entire area collapses and the emergency response cannot keep up, the chances of survival are slim.
He Tiantian wished there were several excavators on site, so that digging would be faster.
"Waaah... my man. I still have six children in my family. If something happens to my man..." Erhua's mother choked up, her face covered with the dirt she had just dug up.
If something happens to her husband, how will she support her children?
Now that things are getting a little better at home, we can't afford any unforeseen events.
"Second Aunt, trust Director Song. He will definitely be able to rescue your child's father," He Tiantian comforted her.
The site was filled with the sounds of people huffing and puffing as they dug; everyone knew how important speed was at that moment.
Just as the sun was beginning to set in the west, more than a hundred men dug for over an hour.
Because the mine was so large, they started digging from all sides at the same time. They've dug about halfway through.
But on neither side did they hear a single sound from below.
Song Yun went around in circles, but every time he asked a question, he was met with a shake of the head.
He Tiantian suddenly thought of her two big dogs, Wujin and Coconut.
In a critical moment, these two dogs could probably be used as police dogs, right?
He Tiantian ran up to Song Yun and suggested, "Director Song, it's too slow for us to search on our own. Why don't we have Mo Zhu drive to the village and bring my two big dogs over?"
Song Yun's eyes lit up. "Great idea!"
Upon receiving the order, Mo Zhu immediately jogged down the mountain.
Human life is at stake, and no one dares to relax their vigilance in the slightest.
Erhua's mother was exhausted from crying and slumped to the ground, her eyes empty and numb.
He Tiantian asked Hong Erniang to watch over the people while she took a shovel and dug to rescue them.
They didn't know how long they had been digging, but even though they were strong men, they had been working in the mines for most of the day.
After digging for so long, everyone was exhausted. They were all gritting their teeth and persevering.
They waited until Mozhu brought black gold and coconuts, and the two big dogs visited the mine for the first time. They were a little excited and a little nervous.
Upon seeing He Tiantian, Wujin and Coconut bravely rushed forward and surrounded her.
