You’ll be fined for talking nonsense

A circle of barbed wire is stretched out, roughly 1 meter high.

After fixing it with iron posts, add a layer of wire mesh on top.

In this way, the partition wall consisting of two rings of barbed wire is about 2 meters high.

The barbed wire is also covered with spikes and barbs.

Tibetan Mastiffs locked behind barbed wire fences have instincts and generally will not try to cross the barbed wire fence and come out to attack humans.

This kind of arrangement can be regarded as a very painstaking effort by Doujiapan Coal Mine.

In order to prevent Tibetan mastiffs from jumping out and hurting people in coal mines, the barbed wire fences are built higher.

At the same time, it is also to allow the miners to see those ferocious beasts when they come in and out.

This is to deter the miners from having any wrong thoughts.

Therefore, the Doujiapan Coal Mine took great pains to keep two Tibetan Mastiffs in captivity every two hundred meters between the earthen wall and the barbed wire fence.

In this way, the entire earthen fence can block people's sight.

Moreover, the barbed wire fence and the Tibetan mastiffs behind it can only effectively deter and prevent miners from escaping.

With this setup, there has never been an error for many years.

Unexpectedly,

Tonight, Brother Hao actually took the lead and told all the miners a truth with his own flesh and blood: Brothers!

Never mess with Tibetan Mastiff dogs, they are really fierce.

Brother Hao was buried in Gouzui. When the person in charge of the mine heard the report, he couldn't help but feel complicated: "A Tibetan Mastiff can actually cross the barbed wire? It shouldn't be, it's 2 meters tall!"

Alas, please call the two miners to come out and bury him!"

The death of Brother Hao did not make the person in charge sad.

And he was only worried about one thing: the guy named Hao was gone, and now the mine wanted to recruit good miners from Bashu and Nanyun provinces who could endure hardships and work hard.

But we have to reorganize the layout and find suitable manpower. Alas!

As for Brother Hao's death, the coal mine can save hundreds of dollars in travel expenses.

Such a small thing!

Coal mines don't care at all: they just pull out a bunch of coal trucks from the mine, and it's all money.

On what day did the people who came to the coal mine to pull coal not come with sacks of cash?

Therefore, the person in charge of Doujiapan Coal Mine would not put a profit or loss of several hundred dollars in his eyes.

Wait until the guards put the Tibetan Mastiff back behind the barbed wire fence and circle it.

The mine manager called out two more daring miners from the room where the miners rested, and gave them a huge reward of 25 yuan each.

Then the two miners used gunny bags, steel shovels, shovels, peelers, and ground scrapers to piece together Brother Hao and put them into the gunny bags.

Then the two miners carried the sacks with a long wooden stick.

I walked outside the earth fence, far away from the yard, and dug a hole with a T-shaped shovel with all my strength.

Then Brother Hao was laid to rest. However, there was not even a wooden sign in front of his grave.

In the vast desert.

A living life and an ant are actually very similar: both are so fragile and inconspicuous.

Wait until the sky full of yellow sand rolls around several times.

Who still remembers that under this mound on the deserted plateau, there was once buried a man who betrayed his fellow villagers and dreamed of making money for his wife and children in order to improve his life?

It was the new miners who witnessed this human tragedy with their own eyes.

Finally, under the leadership of the team leader appointed by the mine, they all returned to the simple and cold miners' dormitory to rest.

This large house made of mud has not been inhabited for a long time.

So as soon as everyone entered the room, they all couldn't help but shuddered: "What the hell, it's so cold! It makes me squeal to sleep."

"That's right. I'm afraid everyone will be covered in popsicles the next day and I won't be able to get up."

While everyone is complaining.

The newly appointed foreman snorted coldly: "From now on, you are employees of Doujiapan Coal Mine, and you must follow the rules of the mine."

The foreman looked around and said, "From now on, no matter what you should say or what you shouldn't say, don't say it.

Everyone, shut your mouth! If anyone dares to say a word of complaint or complain, he will be fined 1 yuan."

"As for whoever doesn't want to do it halfway, you can come to me in private to discuss it."

"but!!"

The foreman's eyes were as cold as a knife, like a snow wolf wandering in the wilderness: "If anyone dares to incite other workers to cause trouble, the mine will constantly break his legs and make him kneel in the mine to dig coal from now on.

And I will use needle and thread to sew his mouth shut! To prevent him from talking nonsense and deceiving people!"

"As for who wants to escape, hahaha!"

The foreman began to poke the cold ashes in the stove, "That's fine. As long as his legs are long enough and he can run fast enough and can't escape the pursuit of the guards on horseback, what else can we say?"

That kind of person is simply a god, how can we keep him?"

Everyone was speechless and stood quietly, not daring to speak.

It turns out that in the wasteland of Doujiapan Coal Mine, within a hundred miles there is basically an uninhabited wilderness.

If someone wants to escape, let alone someone riding a horse to chase him.

Just because of the unfamiliar geographical environment and the wind and sand that can quickly lose water in people's bodies.

Due to the harsh natural conditions, there is almost no possibility of escape.

A person can go for days and nights without eating or drinking, but he has no choice but to go without drinking water for several days.

Want to find a source of water on this deserted plateau?

That is simply wishful thinking!

When the two large stoves in the house lit up the blazing charcoal fire, everyone felt a little bit of warmth.

There is no cover or barrier on the deserted plateau.

The temperature will be much lower than other places, especially at night, when a drop of water turns to ice and a breath of air turns to frost.

Even when I went to urinate outdoors, there was still a thick layer of water vapor rising from it. By the time the water column hit the ground, it had turned into ice slag all over the ground.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of coal in the Doujiapan Coal Mine, and it is all high-quality coal that turns into a pile of white ash after burning.

After the room warms up and people can gradually sit on the big kang.

All the workers then put down their luggage and began to lay bedding on the Datong bunk.

Jian Teng has lived in Bashu since he was a child and is afraid of the cold.

Seeing that the area near the stove was warm, he wanted to lay the bedroll there.

Luo Xuan pulled him quietly: "You can't sleep here unless you want to bake pancakes."

"how can that be possible?"

Jian Teng patted the edge of the kang, "I feel like this bed is made entirely of adobe bricks, and it's thick underneath."

Luo Xuan shook his head, "You have never slept on a fire bed in the north. The chimney of the stove will be too hot to sleep after just reaching the place where it is inserted into the fire bed."

"Oh, so that's it."

The Jian Teng in front of him can actually listen to other people's advice: "Okay, I will believe you for once. Otherwise, I will sleep next to you wherever you sleep."

Luo Xuan found a place in the middle of the bed, put down the bedroll, and then started busy making the bed.

As expected, that Jian Teng also came over with his luggage.

Because everyone had received a severe warning from the foreman earlier, and the guy named Hao disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The miners, who were so preoccupied, didn't have much thought to talk, so they quietly made their beds and went to sleep.

A night of silence.

It was early the next morning, probably around 6 am.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The electric bell rang in the coal mine yard, and then the foreman knocked on the door with a wooden stick that looked like a rolling pin: "Get up, get up, it's time to go to work."

After two days and two nights of bumpy roads, the exhausted miners slept soundly.

Now that he was suddenly yelled at by the foreman, among the confused stares, someone murmured impatiently: "Mummy skin! You can't see your fingers outside. What class are you in?"

There are also people facing the door.

When the foreman opened the door, the biting cold wind in the early morning suddenly rushed in.
