Lin Miaoyin felt his hands clenching around her, using so much force that veins were exposed and her hand bones ached.
After his legs were tied, four men carried the stretcher and hurried down the mountain, followed by someone holding a lantern.
Lin Miaoyin also wanted to follow, but the doctor stopped her and told her to go home and prepare the things she needed for hospitalization and go to the county tomorrow morning. There was no point in following now.
"Sister-in-law, I will accompany Brother Meng. You can take over the shift tomorrow. I will definitely take good care of him, don't worry." Jin Chengren followed and said.
She looked at Meng Yuanzheng on the stretcher, and he gave her a comforting look.
He was still comforting her. Her heart ached and she almost cried. She nodded quickly and watched them carry the person down the mountain.
Secretary Li took the uninjured people back to Niutouwan. On the way, several miners who escaped death talked about what happened in the mine.
They were working at the time when they suddenly heard someone shouting. After listening carefully, they heard clearly that the mountain was about to collapse.
Generally, a mountain collapses when there is a heavy rainstorm. The rainstorm stopped in the morning last night, and the sun came out in the afternoon. How could the mountain collapse wait until now?
Moreover, there were several heavier rains in the recent period but nothing happened. The rocks of this mountain are very hard. Otherwise, how could they have dug such a long mine without it collapsing?
Before they had time to think about it, a young man ran in and said that the mountain was about to collapse and asked them to get out quickly.
They were panicked, but didn't quite believe what he said, so they asked him why he said the mountain was going to collapse.
The man just said that the matter was urgent and asked them to go out first and explain in detail after they got out. They suspected that the man was playing a joke on them and said a few more words to each other. After the man explained that he saw cracks in the mountain, they still didn't quite believe it and were a little hesitant.
At this time, the sound of breaking rocks began to come from above their heads, and the walls of the cave began to crack.
The sound should have occurred earlier than the landslide outside. They realized that something big had happened and rushed out.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly stopped them from leaving, which immediately aroused the crowd's excitement.
The man said that it was very dangerous to go out now and they might be killed on the way, but they didn't care about that. They just wanted to run away and even wanted to beat up this "dangerous element" who wanted to kill them.
The man refused to let them in and blocked the entrance of the cave. At this time, Jin Chengren seemed to understand what the man meant and went up to help stop them from running out. However, there was no way two people could stop a group of people and they were pushed and shoved out.
At this moment, an accident happened and the entire mine in front collapsed.
Relatively speaking, Jin Chengren, who was at the front, was in danger in an instant. A large rock fell down, but the mine was very dark and there were many people crowded together, so everyone turned around and ran back.
If the big rock had fallen, Jin Chengren would have been hit on the head, but Meng Yuanzheng pushed him away suddenly, and they both fell to the ground. The rock did not hit anyone, but it was very big and rolled twice on the ground before pressing on Meng Yuanzheng's leg.
Jin Chengren quickly got up and called others to help move the stone.
At this time, the collapse was almost over, the mine became quiet again, the way out was completely blocked, and because the inside part was deep inside the mountain, it was the loose mountain outside that collapsed, and there was no large-scale collapse inside.
The other miners all felt lucky to have survived a disaster and felt guilty towards Meng Yuanzheng. If he hadn't been stopping them, most people might have been crushed to death.
Several people worked together to move the stones and saw Meng Yuanzheng lying on the ground with his face as pale as paper. They carried him back to the innermost part of the mine and leaned him against the wall, not daring to touch him.
No one outside knows what the situation is like, and no one knows whether the mountain will collapse again.
Everyone was at a loss.
Meng Yuanzheng said that the people outside must be rushing to rescue them. Instead of waiting for the oxygen to run out, it would be better to find tools and start digging out from the inside.
At this moment, everyone trusted his words, and they all found suitable things and started digging.
The mine is very large, and in order to facilitate transportation, it is dug wide, so there is room to store the excavated soil.
They dug slowly, but they felt motivated when they thought about the folks outside who were also trying hard to rescue them.
During this period, Meng Yuanzheng had been leaning against the wall, half asleep and half awake.
They would go back from time to time to see if he had any problems.
In short, Meng Yuanzheng has now become a great hero that everyone talks about, and he saved more than a dozen people by himself.
Lin Miaoyin listened quietly on the side, and thought of the plot in the original work, where Jin Chengren broke his leg while saving someone.
The man who was rescued was not a good person. When he heard that he had to bring gifts to thank Jin Chengren, he shouted that the descendants of these landlords had exploited the poor people in the past. Saving people now was just a way for him to atone for the sins of his ancestors, so why should he thank him?
At the same time, because several people died, the leaders were too busy and overwhelmed, resulting in Jin Chengren not receiving enough attention and compensation from the commune.
Now that the matter has fallen on Meng Yuanzheng, she will not let Meng Yuanzheng suffer the same treatment.
The group returned to Niutou Bay. Every household had lit lights and was looking forward to the arrival. She went to the Lin family first and put the hatchet, raincoat and hat back. Cui Fen had already prepared the food and was waiting for them.
Lin Miaojun came back at dusk. After hearing the news, he hurried up the mountain to meet them.
Everyone washed their hands and faces, and after making themselves somewhat clean, they sat down to eat. Since they had been doing physical work all afternoon, Cui Fen made solid food for dinner that would fill them up.
Lin Miaoyin stopped eating only after eating three steamed buns and two bowls of porridge.
"Go back and pack your things. Ask your brother to take you to the county early tomorrow morning. You don't know the way if you go by yourself. Take your bedding roll, foot basin, tooth mug and everything else with you. I estimate you'll need to stay for a week." said Lin's mother.
"Don't worry about the money, the government will pay for the medical expenses." Lin's father said.
Lin Miaojun remembered something and said, "It just so happens that I bought two cans of malted milk today. You can take one can with you, as well as some red dates, brown sugar, etc. Wife, mother, you can prepare some bread and millet porridge early, and we can take them with you."
After making the arrangements, Lin Miaojun sent Lin Miaoyin home. After Lin Miaojun left, she went to boil some hot water, took a bath and washed her hair, then put her bedding roll and clothes for changing into a nylon bag, and put the foot basin, tooth cup, toothpaste, soap, towel, malted milk and other things into a net bag.
This was the first time she slept alone since she came into this world. She didn't feel scared at all, but her heart was in a mess. She reached out her hand and wiped her face, her face full of tears.
It's really disappointing. There's nothing to cry about.
As I was thinking this in my mind, tears just kept flowing.
He just broke his leg, he didn't say he would be lame.
But he was harmed by her. How painful it must have been for the stone to press on his leg to break it.
He also stayed in the mine for so long before coming out.
Thinking of this, tears started to flow again.
The author has something to say: I am not a stepmother. I am not. I am the biological mother of the heroine and the biological mother-in-law of the hero. Don’t blame me if the hero’s leg is broken (run away)
