Chapter 1 The Mysterious Daihatsu Mine.
In the early morning of July 15, 1975, another news came from the Dafa mine: 12 people were killed in the second underground mining area
Dafa mine in the deep ravine of Daqing Mountain, the earliest Qing Dynasty at the end of the Dafa mine opened the mine, at that time called Dafa kiln mine, many people relied on the Dafa kiln mine to make a fortune, after liberation, these people who made a fortune by relying on the Dafa mine have returned to their hometown, most of their hometown is Shanxi, they basically disappeared after returning to Shanxi, no one knows that they used to be a big guy. Like my generation, my fathers came to the Dafa mine in five or eight years, when it was called supporting the frontier, and at that time, the Dafa mine opened a new kiln and needed a large number of miners. We are the second generation of Dafa Mine, born after the parents came to the mine, most of them were born in the sixties, and by the time they were seventy years old, the older ones were more than ten years old, and the younger ones were five or six years old when they were born in six or nine years.
Today is a Sunday, the school is not in school, I called Xiaolong to run to the Dafa mine, this is our favorite to see the lively. Accidents occur in the mines, there are generally people killed, this kind of scene can be seen several times a year, there is an accident less than one death, more than ten at a time, the few victims are generally because of the roof, the more people killed is the gas **, the underground gas coal seam is exploded, a coal mining face hundreds of meters away people can not run!Every time there is a victim in an accident underground, there will be my classmate's father.
When we arrived at the mouth of the Dafa mine, we caught up with miners with dark faces and big black eyes lifting people up from the mine. It is not uncommon for miners, wives and children who have lost their husbands to cry around the mouth of the well, and every time someone is crying, we are watching it in a serious way, as if watching a good show.
In the open-air warehouse of the mine materials department, a coffin was erected for the twelve deceased, and the shed made a skeleton of rails used by mine cars, covered with greasy cotton cloth, and the twelve doors of the mourning shed were slightly opened, wafting the smell of incense. I looked at each booth in turn, and the deceased inside, dressed in fresh overalls and shining black water boots, lay on a bed made of iron pipes. I checked it so carefully, mainly out of an expectation, I heard that this time my classmate Wen Xia's father was also among the deceased, Wen Xia was my tablemate, and I usually bullied her.
Wen Xia's father was the squad leader of the twelve people who died, and he was old and powerful when he was alive!That day, Wen Xia's father intercepted me, pinched the back of my neck with one hand, and said to me fiercely
You still dare to bully Wen Xia?You still dare to bully Wen Xia, you can't ......"His voice was loud and majestic, and it made me feel terrified.
I was choked by him, my face flushed, and my eyes filled with tears. I tried to break free of his hand, but his strength was so great that I couldn't move at all. "I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare to ...... anymore"I cried and begged for mercy.
Wen Xia's father let go of his hand, but still glared at me, his eyes full of anger and disappointment. "If you dare to bully Wen Xia again, I will never let you go!He warned.
I was scared to pee my pants, and I nodded again and again, promising not to bully Wen Xia again in the future. Wen Xia and her father looked at me and didn't seem to believe my words, but he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
I stood still, my body still shaking. I have never seen Wen Xia and her father so angry, and I have never been taught such a lesson. My heart was filled with fear and resentment towards Wen Xia and her father.
I watched the Dafa mine for a whole day, and when I got home at night, I fell asleep as soon as I got into the bed. At night, someone banged on the door of my house, saying that the teacher had sent someone to call someone. It turned out to be Xiaolong, Xiaolong rushed into the door, and when he arrived in front of the fire kang, he put his hand in the quilt:
Get up, get up quickly and ......"
What's wrong, what's wrong......"
The little dragon pulled me up, and I rubbed my eyes that couldn't be opened, frowned dissatisfiedly, and inhaled slowly. "What are you doing in the middle ......of the night?""Hurry up and meet ...... at the Dafa Miners' Club"Xiaolonghe didn't know why, urging me to hurry up. The square of the Daihatsu Miners' Club is brightly lit, and it is already densely populated with people, and it is black.
A man wearing a red armband stood on a makeshift podium, holding a megaphone in his hand, and was shouting loudly.
Someone in the crowd raised a flag and called on everyone to follow him.
A chaotic procession marched through the winding streets of the mines. Some people shouted slogans, and everyone shouted, and the slogans came and went in the night, shaking the whole mountain.
The event lasted until late at night, and I didn't know what the purpose of the event was, but I just thought it was very interesting and exciting.
There will be a grand event on the second day of the mine: more than 100 young people have joined the army, and only 10 of them stand out, and our good friend Hai Zi, who is nine years older than me and has just graduated from the high school of the No. 3 Middle School of the mine, is one of them.
Early in the morning, the burly and sturdy Haizi, who was one meter eight tall, was dressed in a brand-new military uniform, wearing a big red flower on his chest, and a wide marching backpack clinging to his broad back. Haizi also carried a satchel on his back, with the words "Serve the people" printed on a red background"A few big words. At this moment, Haizi's face was full of red light and full of joy. Haizi walked in front, and a boy carried a lighted firecracker that made a "crackling" sound.
Today is Haizi's day to join the army, and I didn't go to see him off, because he beat me up the other day. That day, Haizi took us up the mountain, and he said that there was an interesting game, I wonder if we want to play itWith that, Haizi picked up one"Big front door"The empty cigarette box of the brand wraps a few sheep droppings in it and tells us that if we put it in our mouths, we can see the rat marrying ......
I put the wrapped sheep manure in my mouth ......After a few minutes, nothing was seen!I asked Haizi, and he suddenly had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, telling me that all I had to do was bite the package ...... in my mouthI bit and bite, but I still didn't see anything. My mouth was full of black sheep dung, so I ran to Haizi's house to complain. When Haizi's mother saw that I was full of sheep dung, she immediately scolded Haizi fiercely. Haizi said that I was boring, and if I didn't want to play, I wouldn't play, and yelled to sue adults. Then he angrily shoved me a few times.
A few days later, I imitated the plot from the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", climbed the earthen cave of Haizi's house, and blocked its chimney. Haizi guessed in an instant that I did it, and pursued me on the streets of the Dafa Mine to settle accounts......A friend said to me, don't be stingy, Haizi asked me to tell me when he left, and when he went back to visit his relatives in the mine, he would definitely bring me a few bullet casings of my favorite.
In fact, when Haizi got in the car and left, I stood far away**. There was also a girl with long eyelashes and proud eyes standing next to me, she looked at the military vehicle in the distance, her pink lips were slightly opened, as if she was sobbing in a low voice, this girl's name is Wei Li, she is a student of the third middle school of our Dafa mine, and his father is a leader of our Dafa mine.
Wei Li looks very beautiful, she wears a really good shirt that is always snow-white, and a pair of Decca blue pants on the bottom, which is very popular at the time, especially when girls wear it, young and beautiful, exuding the smell of flowers, provoking boys to chase. We kept asking why Wei Li shed tears for Haizi, they were not classmates, they were a whole grade apart, and they were not related. After Haizi enlisted in the army, it caused a heated discussion among his friends. Xiaolong said excitedly: "My father told me that after graduation, he would let me go to the army, and after joining the army, I would be in the same army as Haizi." ”
In our mine, becoming a soldier is the dream in every man's heart. When filling in the school's **, we all did not hesitate to check the ideal column to join the army. What is especially envious of us is the military uniform. At that time, in our mines, both adults and children were eager to walk on the streets of the Dafa mine in military uniforms, so that everyone cast envious eyes.
I've been picking up scrap in the mines, mainly trying to save ten dollars, because it costs ten dollars to buy a fashionable **military uniform. After saving enough money, I pulled up the little dragon, climbed over the mountain, and went to the big bump supply and marketing cooperatives on the other side of the mountain, because we had already stepped on a good point, and the big magnetic supply and marketing cooperatives had a special ** military uniform. As soon as I got the clothes, I put them on my body, and then asked Xiaolong to accompany me to wander around Dafa Street, showing off the ** military uniform I just bought for everyone to see. In the positive turn of Xingnong, someone spread the news: The mine protection team on the mine arrested a pair of men and women in the staff dormitory of the big red building.
I don't know what to do when the doors and windows are closed in the daytime for men and women!In our closed mine, there was a sudden news of something between men and women, everyone seemed to be excited, you just follow the ** running forward, and you will definitely see a good show when you get to it. Xiaolong and I glanced at each other, tacitly acknowledging each other, of course we couldn't let go of this excitement. Soon, we followed the crowd to the staff dormitory of the Big Red Building.
When I came to the big red building, the scene was already full of people, and everyone was talking. Xiaolong and I struggled to the front of the crowd and saw the man and woman who had been arrested. Their expressions were not flustered, especially the woman, who seemed to be still scolding.
Isn't this Han Song and Wei Hong?Suddenly, someone recognized.
Han Song is a young miner in our mine, usually silent, but he is very serious in his work, and is deeply loved by his workers. And Wei Hong is a well-known person in Dafa Street, and everyone calls her"Tomboy", a boy's hairstyle is long, but the face looks okay.
How did they end up together?Questioning voices came from the crowd. At this time, a woman squeezed to the front and said that she was a neighbor of Wei Hong's family. "I've long felt that something is wrong with the two of them, and I often see them together. ”
The woman's words stirred up the crowd even more. "It's a shame!”
Someone said. "Wei Hong's father is the mine manager of our Dafa mine!"
