"Cough... Cough..." the old miner's quick cough broke the strange silence in the mine. Long time stay in this dark, empty, no sound of cold environment, and then a normal person will collapse. The old miner's cough was not caused by a cold. Maybe he just wanted to remind himself that he was still alive.
Xiao Qiang's mobile phone has been dead for a long time. He licked his dry lips and fell on the stone wall with some weakness. I can't remember exactly how long it's been. In this blocked mine, there is no concept of time at all. I can only perceive the days by the tiny light passing through the cracks of the boulders.
If he remembers correctly, this is the fourth day of hard life in the mine. When a normal person is locked up in a dark room for 48 hours, those with a bad mentality will be driven crazy, not to mention that they have no food, and they are close to the point of groundwater dripping in the mine, barely maintaining the bottom line of vital signs. Maybe the miners want to be irritable, crazy and desperate, but by this time, they have become a kind of extravagant hope even to express their emotions.
With a minimum amount of water to maintain the absence of food, the bottom line of human survival is one month. But it's just theory. In practice, there are too many interference factors. For example, the three miners who wanted to grab the water cup before had two lives without love. They couldn't bear this kind of torture and committed suicide. The other is in better condition, even occasionally revealing the divine color in his eyes. It's not that he is particularly resistant, but that he drinks the blood of the dead to supplement his body function when he drags the corpse into the mine.
Xiao Qiang can't do that, neither can the old miner. Only the heartless miner, in order to survive, has done something that is not allowed by morality. But no one blamed him, despised him, in this desperate environment, let alone drink human blood, it is not impossible to eat human flesh. People... In order to survive, the animal nature in the body will burst out, what reason, what morality, go to hell!
In fact, after drinking human blood, the miner's condition was only better than that of the old miner. Among the three who were still alive, only Xiao Qiang's current physical function was the best. There's no reason, just because the nine heaven Xuanyu in his body is nourishing his body from time to time with the aura of heaven and earth.
Due to the warm nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, his body does not have any functional discomfort, but energy is energy after all, which can not control his taste nervous system, nor his intestines and stomach. This is like a patient in a hospital with glucose. Although he does not feel the loss of physical strength, he always feels empty stomach and dry mouth, This is almost the case, but Xiao Qiang is more serious.
The water in the water cup has gradually become full. Xiao Qiang smashed his mouth. He picked up the water cup and put it to the old miner's side. He said in a voice, "master Fu, you should drink some water first. This is today's share. The three of us live to one third of the last one."
The old miner looked at him weakly, pulled his lips reluctantly and nodded. Then he drank a third of the water with a gulp. After drinking it, he sighed, "little brother, I can't live long. If you can hold on to the day when you go out alive, can you do me a favor?"
"You said, teacher Fu, as long as I can do it, I will do it!" Xiao Qiang serious answer, inexplicably have a kind of sadness and guilt. It's true that he was the victim, but the miners were more innocent. They were just buried with him. If he had not sneaked into the black mine, Xiao Zhiwei would not have collapsed the cave and they would not have been reduced to death. So Xiao Qiang really wants to meet their demands.
"Ah... The reason why I dare to do private work in the black mine is for the two grandchildren in my hometown..." the old miner said, choking, "I have a son who was born amputated and had no legs, so I had to live on the bed. Married a daughter-in-law, crazy, the whole family have to rely on the old woman to wait on... I was thinking, ah, I am so old, it doesn't matter if I die, but the two children still have to study... If I don't have my income, there will be no money for them to go to school, right? If you go out, can you talk to the owner of the black ore well, even if you don't pay according to the state compensation, at least you have to pay us a life of thirty or fifty thousand? If you can get the money, would you please send it back to my hometown? "
Xiao Qiang felt heavy after hearing this. He knew that the reason why the old miner said these words was just with a kind of hope and a kind of thought. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that 90% of the mine was empty. But he thought about the two grandchildren and wanted to provide them with education, so he wanted to get back the compensation for their lives. But if no one goes out from here, no one goes to take the initiative to recover, that person died in vain, what compensation, the owner of the black mine will be so kind to take the initiative to give it?
"It's a day to live, master Fu. Don't give up hope. Don't worry. If I can go out, I will do it for you After Xiao Qiang's serious reply, he handed the water cup to another miner, "brother, it's your turn."
"I'm not thirsty yet. Drink it." The miner said in an unexpected voice, "I've drunk a lot of human blood. Now my stomach is still holding. I'm not interested in water. I'm afraid of nausea after drinking it. Brother, I can see that you are a good man. Regardless of the past, you are willing to give me water. I am very grateful to you. Don't look down on me either. If I drink more human blood, I won't get any water from you, and the three of us can survive another day. "
"Well, thank you." Xiao Qiang is quite moved. It seems that this guy is not really so cruel and unreasonable. He handed the old miner the water cup again. After he had another drink, he poured all the water into his stomach.
After the completion of water diversion, the mine was once again plunged into darkness and silence
"It's the fourth day. What do you eat for? Can't you find any clues? I really don't believe that a person can evaporate from this world out of thin air? " Jiang Qin tianmeng patted the table and gave a voice to the officer who was standing on one side and looked ashamed. "Look for me, keep looking for me, keep expanding the scope. I want to see people alive and see corpses dead!"
"Yes! Commander Several officers saluted, then quickly turned and disappeared outside the door. It's not that they don't want to stay more and listen to Jiang qintian's instruction. It's really that this group army commander has a terrible temper recently and is in a bad mood. They are not stupid enough to touch tigers and find their own way out.
"Dong Dong! Report Before long, someone knocked at the door and called for a report.
"Come in!" Jiang qintian took a cigarette and yelled casually. His hand was still turning over the investigation report. When he looked up, he found that a guard of his own was walking to the desk with a cowering miner.
