Chapter 264

There is a railing at the gate, and there is a small movable house at the door, which is where the gatekeeper lives. Once a coal truck comes out, the gatekeeper will come out to check the vehicle and then pull up the railing to let it go.

Wang Kai: "Don't talk for a while, just listen to me."

"it is good."

When Wang Kai and Zhu Yan walked to the door

The gatekeeper asked who they were looking for, "I see that you two look strange, it doesn't look like our mine..."

"Hey, your old eyes are good..."

Wang Kai gave a thumbs up.

The gatekeeper said without humility: "That is! How about I guard the gate here? Are the people coming in and out from this mine? How much is this truck loaded? I can tell at a glance that they are almost the same. ..."

Wang Kai: "Yes, yes. You are always right, we are here to find someone..."

"Who are you looking for? Tell me, there is no one here that I don't know. I have been here since the mine was built..."

"Then you are an old revolutionary." Wang Kai flattered.

The gatekeeper was very satisfied with Wang Kai's performance, and greeted him: "Come in, come in and say..."

It seems that he wants to open the chatterbox.

This guy is a braggart, but what he said is usually tired of being heard by others, and no one listens to him anymore. It is rare to meet two newcomers today, so of course he has to brag.

This is exactly what Wang Kai and the others wanted.

There is a coal stove in the house, which makes it much warmer than outside.

"Come in and enjoy the fire, where does this cold day come from?"

The gatekeeper called the two into the hut,

The two gathered around the stove with their sleeves rolled up.

"You are not here to find someone, but to find a job?"

"Hey, you are always not simple, and you can see it."

"What's the matter? I've been guarding here for so many years, and I haven't seen anyone.

It's almost the end of the year, and the people who are still here are just looking for work and wanting to earn more money. "

"Yes, we heard that there is a lot of money here, so we came here."

"I heard, whoever said it, you have acquaintances here."

"Yes, my uncle and sixth uncle."

"Who is your uncle, Sixth Uncle?"

"Edrin, Edzhu."

"Ai Delin, Ai Dezhu? Is it Ai Boss, Ai Lao Six."

"Yes, yes, that's what people usually call them."

"Oh, it's them, what a coincidence...they called you here?"

"Yes. We used to work on the construction site. I heard Uncle Six and the others say that they earn a lot of money here. It happened that the construction site was on holiday. We didn't want to go back to our hometown, so we came here after discussing it."

Zhu Yan next to her didn't speak, but nodded vigorously in cooperation.

"Oh, it's time for you to come."

"what is wrong?"

Wang Kai asked in surprise.

"You don't know yet, do you?"

"what do you know?"

"It seems that you really don't know," the gatekeeper lowered his voice and started gossip, "Boss Ai's son is dead."

"what?"

This is not pretending, Wang Kai was really surprised.

He and Zhu Yan looked at each other in blank dismay, how could this be?When did Boss Ai's son appear again?

Zhu Yan was sure that it was Ah Hui who died.

The gatekeeper was pleased with the shock his words had given them.

"How long have you been out of contact?"

"By phone last month."

"Then it's no wonder you don't know, it just happened in the last few days."

"How did his son die?"

"How else can I die? There was an accident in the mine. Alas, which coal mine doesn't kill people. It's just that Boss Ai is pitiful, black-haired people send white-haired people..."

"No way... this... only his son died, is there anyone else..."

Wang Kai shook his head in disbelief.

"Look at what you said, how many people do you want to die?" the gatekeeper said dissatisfiedly.

"Uncle, I didn't mean that, I... I... Oh, I'm so stupid, I can't speak clearly. I want to ask if other people are okay, such as my uncle, sixth uncle... I don't care if I don't care." Mess."

"Everyone is fine. Hey, his son is the only one. This kid reacts slower than others, and everyone else ran out. It's just him... oh... It's a pity, usually this kid likes to come and listen to me when he's fine. Now... "

The gatekeeper shook his head, not knowing whether he was regretting the lost young life or the loss of an audience.

Wang Kai took out his mobile phone and found Ah Hui's photo, "I still don't believe it, is it him?"

The gatekeeper looked at it, "Yes. Since you have his photo, he is either a relative or a fellow villager, just in time to see the child for the last time, and send him off. I heard that the boss has already negotiated compensation, and he will pull it out tomorrow. Went to town to be cremated."

"Hey, how can such a big living person be gone? My poor brother Ah Hui..."

"Hey, you haven't seen a coal mine accident. Once you are buried below, you will only die."

In fact, both Wang Kai and Zhu Yan understand that coal mining is a high-risk industry, but many people are engaged in this high-risk occupation even though they know it is dangerous, in order to earn more money and to make their wives and children live better. Some private coal mines are several times more dangerous than state-owned coal mines because profit is paramount and violent mining.Most of these people who came to work went down to the mines with the intention of living a day and making money. No one could guarantee that they would be able to come out alive to see the sun.Because accidents can happen at any time.

But artificially...

Seeing Zhu Yan trembling aside, the gatekeeper said, "Are you scared? I don't think you guys are meant to eat this bowl of rice. You'd better go back to the construction site. At least you'll see the light of day. What's wrong with having a lot of money? Live your life, you are still young, the road is still long."

It was a kind reminder in a tone of earnestness and earnestness from people who saw through everything.

"Thank you uncle, my brother is timid. We will discuss it, and we will discuss whether to stay and work. But since we are here, we still have to visit Uncle Ai at this time, and send Brother Ahui off. "

"Should be, should be, this child looks like an honest person. He knows how to work without making a sound all day long, alas, this is life! Go, go, see you for the last time.

You enter the door and go to the right, over there is the living area, the sixth room in the fourth row is where they live. "

The gatekeeper pointed.

"Thank you uncle."

"Go, go," the gatekeeper waved again.

Wang Kai and Zhu Yan walked to the right, where there were several rows of bungalows, which was the dormitory area mentioned by the gatekeeper.

Wang Kai: "What's going on? Ah Hui is the one who died, isn't that right? How did he become Boss Ai's son again?"

Zhu Yan: "If Ah Hui isn't Boss Ai's son, how can he demand compensation from the boss on behalf of his family?"

Wang Kai understood immediately: they had planned it long ago.

A Hui was brought into the coal mine to work as the eldest son of Ai.

then……

Zhu Yan's body began to shake again.

Wang Kai grabbed her hand, "Don't be afraid."

Zhu Yan: "I'm not afraid, I saw Ah Hui."

"where?"

"there."

Zhu Yan pointed to a room.

"He said, sister, don't be afraid, I don't want to scare you, I know you are here to take me home."

Wang Kai held Zhu Yan's hand tightly, "Let's go and have a look."

At this time, the living area was quiet. Most of the workers went down to the mine to dig coal, and most of the others who didn't go down to the mine were resting.

Coal diggers work in shifts, and there are no special circumstances. Generally, there are people mining below 24 hours a day.

The two walked to the first house in the fourth row.

Zhu Yan: "Ah Hui is inside."

Wang Kai looked in through the window.

Nobody inside.

The door is not locked.

Wang Kai pushed the door open, and the two entered the room.

The room is very messy, there are some tools, there are two high and low iron beds, it seems that no one lives there, they are used to pile up tools and sundries, dust is everywhere, and now it is a temporary storage place for Ah Hui's body.

On the lower bunk of the iron bed, a person was lying, covered tightly by a quilt from head to toe.

Wang Kai walked over and gently lifted the quilt.

"Zhu Zhu, don't look."

　Post it early today.

　　Thank you all for your votes!
