Chapter 31: Mountain Collapse



Zhu Wanqin came over with an anxious look on her face.

"Zhu Zhiqing, why are you here too?" Lin Miaoyin felt very confused.

Logically speaking, according to the original plot, Zhu Wanqin did not appear here.

"I heard that you can pick mushrooms after the rain, so I came up the mountain. Right on the top of this mountain, I saw deep cracks on the slope above. There might be a landslide." She held an empty basket in her hand and pointed to a place on the mountain above the coal mine to show them, but it was too high and they couldn't see clearly.

"Hey, girl, you must be an educated youth. Why are you talking nonsense here? It's common for some mud to collapse after raining. What's the point of talking about landslide or not? You have no knowledge." The administrator saw that Zhu Wanqin was wearing military green clothes and had delicate skin and flesh. She was obviously a city girl, so his tone was not as fierce as when he talked to Lin Miaoyin and the others.

"Comrade, let them out first, and then send someone to the top to take a look. A relative of mine studied geological exploration, and he said that this kind of heavy rain can easily cause landslides, not to mention that you have dug such a deep mine." Zhu Wanqin said with a pale face.

The scholar's words seemed more convincing, and coupled with Zhu Wanqin's gentle and kind appearance, the administrator couldn't help but begin to waver.

"This matter is not as serious as you say."

"But human life is at stake. It's better to be safe than sorry. If something happens, it will be no small matter." Zhu Wanqin frowned and advised.

The administrator glanced at Zhu Wanqin and couldn't help feeling a little elated. It was such a rare opportunity to have such a young and beautiful city girl beg him and say some sweet words to him.

"This has delayed the construction period and failed to meet the targets set by superiors. I cannot take responsibility for this," he lamented.

Seeing these two people practicing Tai Chi, Lin Miaoyin became extremely anxious and could not wait any longer. She secretly pulled Meng Yuanzheng's sleeve and glanced into the mine.

Meng Yuanzheng understood what he meant, and he ran over, jumped down the mine and went inside, shouting as he ran, "Come out quickly! The mountain is about to collapse!"

The sound traveled along the wall of the cave. The people inside stopped and listened carefully to what was being said. Meng Yuanzheng shouted a few more times, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

There was also chaos outside the cave. There were a few people doing transportation outside. In the original work, when the landslide occurred, these people ran away in a flash.

Now the administrator was very angry when he saw Meng Yuanzheng jumped in. The mine did not allow outsiders to enter, let alone this kid going in in front of him, which was a challenge to his authority and a slap in his face.

"You guys, go in and tie him up!" He directed the people who were doing the transportation, and he himself was also ready to rush in and catch people.

"Don't go in! The mountain is really going to collapse!" Zhu Wanqin shouted anxiously.

A few people ignored her and were about to go down the cave.

But there was a man standing at the entrance of the cave, with his arms and legs spread out, blocking the way.

"Don't come in! Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Lin Miaoyin scolded.

She was extremely anxious. Meng Yuanzheng had gone in, but there was no movement. He must have had an argument with the people inside, and the time of the landslide was approaching and imminent.

It seems that these administrators are going to cause more trouble. If there are too many people in the cave and it collapses, everyone inside will rush out, causing congestion and more casualties.

She simply blocked the entrance to the cave and shouted fiercely, "No one can go in today!"

"You bitch, you're looking for trouble, aren't you? Get out of my way! Otherwise, I'll take you to the police station!"

The administrator was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves, grabbed Lin Miaoyin's arm and dragged her forcefully.

Lin Miaoyin resisted with all her might and refused to move.

"Miaoyin! Miaoyin, come up quickly! Comrades, the mountain is really going to collapse!" Zhu Wanqin was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Lin Miaoyin lowered her head and bit the administrator's hand hard. The administrator screamed, let go of her hand, and was about to raise his hand to slap Lin Miaoyin.

Suddenly, an unusual sound was heard overhead. Listening carefully, it seemed to be the sound of rocks cracking, and small collapses had occurred around.

Several others shouted, "The mountain has collapsed! The mountain has collapsed!"

He dropped what he was holding and ran away. The administrator also reacted quickly, with only one thought in his mind: run.

He climbed up the mine using his hands and feet and ran away.

The mountain has already fractured, and the soil and rocks on top are falling down rapidly. It seems that a large-scale collapse is imminent.

Lin Miaoyin felt a little confused. She knew she should climb up immediately, but Meng Yuanzheng was still inside.

"Miaoyin, come up quickly!" Zhu Wanqin shouted.

Lin Miaoyin woke up. It would be useless for her to go into the cave now. It would be better for her to go down the mountain immediately to call for help and try to rescue them as soon as possible.

I struggled to climb up the mine, but after taking a few steps, large pieces of rocks and soil wrapped in grass and trees poured down. The mine was buried in an instant, and the sky and the earth changed color.

Lin Miaoyin and Zhu Wanqin ran all the way out and avoided being hit by the rocks and trees rolling down from the top of the mountain. The other people had already disappeared. They did not call for help, but ran away directly, trying to find ways to evade responsibility.

As she ran, she couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red, and her chest felt like it was about to explode.

It was she who asked Meng Yuanzheng to go down and call for help. She did not estimate the time well. She thought he would come out immediately after going down to call for help. She did not expect that the people inside would trip him up.

This plot did not exist in the original work. They tampered with the plot and she had no idea what the ending was.

If Meng Yuanzheng died or was injured, she didn't know how to face herself.

Feeling extremely regretful, she wiped away her tears and kept walking. She wanted to go and call for help quickly. The sooner she did, the better her hope.

No matter how far behind Zhu Wanqin was, her mind was filled with the thought of running faster and faster. She was tripped by a rock while running, but she got up and continued running, crawling back to the team at a crazy speed.

It took her an hour to get there and only twenty minutes to get back. There were not many people on the road and everyone was resting at home, so she went straight to the branch secretary's house.

Secretary Li's daughter-in-law was sewing shoe soles when she suddenly saw a man rushing in. His face was covered in mud and tears, and there was a hole in his knee, revealing the flesh and blood inside.

After identifying her, she put down her shoe sole in surprise and stood up. "It's Miaoyin? What happened to you?"

"Aunt, hurry up, ask Secretary Baibai to take people to the coal mine. There's a mountain collapse." Lin Miaoyin said breathlessly.

When the secretary's wife heard this, she was shocked and shouted at the top of her voice, "Old Li, come out quickly! The mountain has collapsed!"

Within a minute or two, Secretary Li and his son and his wife came running out, "What? The mountain collapsed?"

"The mine collapsed and people are buried inside." Lin Miaoyin said anxiously.

Secretary Li was still able to remain calm, and quickly instructed his son and daughter-in-law, "Hurry up, one of you go call the people in the team, and the other go to the next team to find Secretary Zhang, and tell them to take their hoes and go to the coal mine quickly. Lin girl, go call your father and the others, I'll go call the commune and ask them to drive to pick up the people and take them to the hospital."

"Hey!" Several people agreed and took action immediately.

Lin Miaoyin ran towards the Lin family again, praying in her heart, "No one will die, no one will die."

Meng Yuanzheng, you must get out alive.

The author has something to say: Miaoyin asked Meng Yuanzheng to go down and call for help in order to rescue everyone, but Meng Yuanzheng was tripped by someone inside and was unable to come out in time, so please don't scold her.

If you want to scold me, scold me (hehehe, I wrote it)
