Shilei Village in Baoshan Township is a well-known hometown of fluorite mines. The village has many mines, quarries and stone processing plants.

A month ago, a safety accident occurred in an open-air quarry in which no one was killed, making Shilei Village the focus of attention.

Finally, under the supervision of the County Work Safety Bureau, Baoshan Township Chang Yuelang made the decision to shut down the quarry. However, the owner of the quarry, Mei Guang, ignored the punishment and continued to quarry secretly.

As the only clerk at the Baoshan Township Safety Supervision Station (there were originally two safety officers who just resigned), Ma Ming's main job is to inspect production safety and urge companies to implement rectifications and eliminate hidden dangers.

At three o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, he received a report that Meiguang's quarry was operating illegally again. Ma Ming ignored the upcoming cadre meeting in the afternoon and hurried toward Shilei Village on his 28-inch bicycle. (Ma Ming

He hasn’t gotten his driver’s license yet, but he likes riding bicycles and exercising, so sometimes he rides there when patrolling.)

As soon as we arrived at the mining area, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and black clouds rolled in from the southwest, covering the sky and the sun.

"The rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building!" Ma Ming sighed, parked his bicycle and hid in the shed of the quarry.

Suddenly, heavy rain poured down, and the heaven and earth were connected by the rainwater flow into a curtain, seamlessly integrating.

Soon, everywhere in the quarry was overflowing with water. The stepped waste rock dump not far away was filled with waterfall-like flowing water. On the slopes of the Meiguang quarry, yellow muddy water swept over the weeds and tree branches, rapidly

Wash down.

Ma Ming was horrified to see it, worried that another landslide would occur on the slope of the waste rock field.

Below the waste rock dump is the county road, which leads south to Feng County, which belongs to Baoshan Township. It is only 20 kilometers away. To the north, it leads to Nanhai City, 100 kilometers away. And 250 kilometers further north is the provincial capital Zhuzhou. It is an important county road.

It is a main road, but fortunately there are no vehicles at the moment.

There were more than a dozen workers standing or squatting in the work shed. It was obvious that they were still working just now.

It seemed that the villagers' report was true. Just as Ma Ming was about to step forward to question, another worker rushed in wearing a safety helmet. He was soaked to the skin and kept dripping water. He cursed: "What the hell is the weather!"

He is the foreman here, his name is Mei San, he is Mei Guang's nephew, and he is responsible for the specific affairs of the quarry.

Mei San looked up and saw Ma Ming, and was startled. Then his face changed, and he said with a smile: "Cadre Ma, are you here to inspect again?"

"Are you still working?" Ma Ming looked unhappy.

"No, how dare you? I'm here to move equipment."

Ma Ming looked at Mei San and the workers. Everyone had stone powder all over their bodies. The stone powder was washed away by the rain and turned into white latex-like water stains.

He snorted coldly: "Don't fool me! When the rain stops, we will shut down immediately. The venue must be vacated tomorrow, otherwise, I really have to apply to the court for enforcement."

"Cadre Ma, why are you doing this?" Mei San said with a flattering smile, pulled Ma Ming aside, and with other workers on his back, whispered: "The mayor of Yue Township has left, and no one will care about this matter anymore.

, why don't you just turn a blind eye?" After saying that, he took out a brown paper envelope from his snakeskin bag and stuffed it into his hand.

Ma Ming pushed open the envelope and said seriously: "What are you doing? Take it back! Mei San, your quarry is too low-end and too extensive. All indicators do not meet safety requirements. You also operate in violation of regulations and refuse to make corrections."

, how audacious you are! If you spend your money on equipment upgrades and safety and environmental protection measures, you won’t be shut down.”

"Cadre Ma, are you being too merciless?" Mei San knew that he was short of food, so he had no choice but to angrily put the envelope away and put it back in his purse.

"Safety responsibility is more important than Mount Tai, and human life is at stake. Who dares to show mercy?!" Ma Ming scolded him, and then said seriously, "Mei San, your quarry meets the standards for closure and elimination in all aspects. It is the general trend.

It's what everyone expects, so don't think too hard. Besides, your uncle is not interested in this stone quarry. Just close it down and it will be over. Our Baoshan Township is full of treasures and there are many ways to make money."

Mei San secretly curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "A little clerk, I give you money because I think highly of you, and I don't know what is good or bad!"

Ma Ming pretended not to hear, thinking about how to implement the quarry's closure policy as soon as possible.

At this moment, Ma Ming's cell phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Lei Sheng, director of the Party and Government Office, he quickly put it to his ear to answer the call.

"Ma Ming, rush back in half an hour to hold a cadre meeting!"

"What's the issue?"

"The head of Xinxiang has taken office, come back quickly!"

"receive!"

After talking on the phone and waiting for the rain to subside a little, Ma Ming hurriedly got on his bicycle and headed to the township government.

Because the county road was bumpy due to trucks pulling stones, and it had just rained heavily, there was water and mud everywhere, making it difficult to walk. Ma Ming rode for ten minutes before walking more than a mile and came to a mine.

As we were going down the slope, a black Crown car with a provincial license plate drove towards us.

At this moment, the rocks on the slope suddenly loosened under the impact of the water flow, then exploded with a crashing sound, and immediately rolled down the mountain.

Landslide!

The black car was unable to dodge and was hit by several rocks. The roof sank in half, the doors were blocked by rocks, and the front of the car was flattened.

This all happened in an instant. Ma Ming was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he was doing. He jumped off the bike and ran while shouting: "Hey, come out! Get out of the car!"

At this moment, there are bigger rocks on the mountain that are crumbling.

Ma Ming ran to the car and took a look. The driver's window was open and the airbag deployed.

There was a man in his thirties in the car who was stuck in the cab and could not move. There was blood on his face and his expression was twisted and painful. It seemed that his right shoulder was dislocated and it was hanging there, not daring to exert any force.

The man acted very calmly, glanced at Ma Ming, and said calmly: "I can't move, please open the door for me."

"Wait a moment."

The car doors on both sides were blocked by large rocks. Ma Ming pushed hard several times but could not open it.

The man knew that the stone was too heavy and could not be pushed away by manpower. He smiled bitterly and looked a little desperate. Could he die in this barren mountain like this?

At this time, there was the sound of rolling stones above their heads, and the two of them turned their heads to look up the mountain. The big stones at the top were shaking, and the sand and gravel that blocked the big stones from falling fell one after another.
