When Liang Jian and the others passed by, Zhang Qisheng was sitting in a folding chair under the temporary military tent, sleeping with his head tilted. When Liang Jian entered, someone immediately woke him up.
Zhang Qisheng rubbed his eyes and woke up. Before he saw Liang Jian, he asked: "What's wrong? Someone is making trouble again?"
The person who woke him up said softly: "Secretary Liang is here!"
Zhang Qisheng turned around and saw Liang Jian in a hazy state, and immediately woke up. He quickly stood up, came over to greet him, and asked: "Secretary Liang, why are you here? Didn't you say that the water in the city is very deep now and most parts of the city are still inaccessible?"
Liang Jian did not answer his question, but asked: "How is the situation now?"
Zhang Qisheng shook his head: "Almost more than half of the entire mine has collapsed. The rescue team has been rescued until now, and they have barely opened up a third of the place. So far, they have not been able to communicate with the people trapped inside.
.Just worry a little bit now.”
When Liang Jian heard this, he asked: "What?"
"The air inside has not circulated for a long time, and when the concentration of flammable gases in the air exceeds a certain level, it can easily cause an explosion!" Zhang Qisheng said in a deep voice.
Is this adding insult to injury? Liang Jian no longer even smiled bitterly. He looked at Zhang Qisheng and asked: "Is there a list of those who are under siege? Let me take a look!"
Zhang Qisheng suddenly looked troubled and hesitated to speak. Liang Jian knew what he was thinking and said directly: "I have met Comrade Dongfang."
One sentence explains everything.
Zhang Qisheng's face paled, and then he turned around and asked the young man who had just woken him up to bring over a piece of paper on the table next to him.
"These are registered people, but Ju's family members who were here just now said that there are probably three more people on top." Zhang Qisheng lowered his head and did not dare to look at Liang Jian.
Liang Jian didn't say anything. He calmly remembered the names on the paper one by one. The two major accidents he had experienced since he entered officialdom were the collapse of the Liangzhou Building when he was in Jiangzhong Province.
There was also a heavy rain at the time of the incident. Many people died that time. The other time was this time. A heavy rain took away so many lives and destroyed one family after another. And in the final analysis of this accident
, the reason can be said to be on him. It was his initial negligence that led to the reopening of these mines. Then due to some personal emotions, he did not strictly supervise the reopened mines, which ultimately led to today's tragedy.
.
Liang Jian felt guilt and resentment in his heart. These emotions weighed heavily on his heart, like dark clouds in the sky above his head, making him breathless.
Liang Jian took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked away from the list and asked Zhang Qisheng: "Where are the families of these victims?"
Zhang Qisheng replied: "I have been persuaded to go back. This place is not safe. Around six o'clock this morning, there was a small landslide about a few hundred meters away from here. I dare not let so many people stay."
Here, if something happens again, I will really die without redemption!"
Liang Jian looked at the sky outside and said: "It may rain again today. The rescue work must be carried out as soon as possible. If it rains again, a second accident is likely to occur here."
"But we are short of manpower!" Zhang Qisheng said.
Liang Jian was silent for a moment and asked: "Where is the person responsible for the rescue?"
Zhang Qisheng immediately asked the secretary standing next to him to call someone. After a long time, a man covered in mud and wearing a steel helmet came over and stood in front of Liang Jian.
"Secretary Liang, hello, I am Ren Gang!"
Liang Jian nodded and said: "Hello. How long will it take to rescue the people inside?"
Ren Gang hesitated for a moment and said: "According to the current progress, if there are no accidents, the rescue work will probably be completed before dark today!"
Liang Jian frowned, paused and asked, "Is there any way to make it faster?"
"Unless there are more manpower." Ren Gang replied.
The current situation in the city is basically a mixed bag, and all units are operating at full capacity. Now if we want to mobilize manpower, first of all, it will definitely not be that fast. Secondly, we may not be able to mobilize manpower. Moreover, this rescue work is not done by anyone.
Everyone can participate, especially in this kind of landslide. If you have not received professional rescue training, it is very dangerous. Not only will you be in danger, but you may also put others in danger.
Liang Jian frowned, thought for a long time, and asked Ren Gang: "The situation in the entire city is not very good now. Professionals cannot be transferred here in a short time. Do you think it is possible to do this?
Is it okay to leave any professional and technical work that requires other people to do it, and you can just focus on the more important and critical work?"
Ren Gang thought for a while and replied: "Yes, yes. But even so, it seems that there is no one at the scene, right?"
Liang Jian turned to Zhang Qisheng and asked: "Go and contact the nearby village to see if they can support some people to come over. Anyone who comes to help will be paid according to the market labor price."
Zhang Qisheng wanted to say something, but Liang Jian stopped him: "What are you doing standing still? When this life is at stake, why don't you go quickly!"
Zhang Qisheng had no choice but to swallow his words and go aside to make contact. However, the contact went smoothly. This may be related to the fact that the people who were crushed in the mine this time were all strong laborers from the nearby village. Therefore, Zhang Qisheng said on the phone
Said, the village cadre opposite immediately agreed.
Not long after, a crowd of people came, no less than thirty or forty people, at least half of whom were women. Liang Jian saw that women were also there, and the captain of the rescue team also said that there was no need for so many people, and it would be easier if there were more people.
It would affect their rescue work. So Liang Jian wanted Zhang Qisheng to persuade these women to go back, but these women were basically family members of the men trapped in the mine, so they refused to leave no matter what. You have to drive her away.
She sat on the ground, and no matter what you tried, she wouldn't move. In desperation, Liang Jian had no choice but to ask Zhang Qisheng to lead people to arrange these women in one place, at least not to affect the rescue work of the rescue team.
The men, under the arrangement and command of the rescue team captain, immediately disclosed their work. Although these men could not do much, they still accelerated some progress. By noon, the silent rescue work finally came to an end.
There were different reactions. Someone rushed over to deliver the message to Liang Jian: "It's OK! It's OK! Someone is still alive!"
Liang Jian was so excited that he stood up from his chair and followed the man outside. Unexpectedly, it started raining outside again. Although it was small, it still made people nervous!
Liang Jian walked to the entrance of the mine and was stopped.
"Secretary Liang, it's too dangerous down there, you'd better wait above."
Liang Jian didn't want to go down and increase the burden on the rescuers, so he waited above. After waiting for about forty minutes, Liang Jian was almost anxious. Suddenly there was a commotion below, and then a bloated figure slowly crawled from below.
Come up. A short rescue worker appeared with difficulty carrying a man whose face was unclear and whose body was mixed with red and black. Liang Jian and the people watching beside him hurriedly reached out to pick up the man on his back.
The person on his back had fallen into a deep coma. As soon as Liang Jian and the others put the person on the stretcher, a group of people came over, trying hard to identify who this person was. After a while, a woman burst into tears.
stand up.
Liang Jian looked at her crying and following the stretcher, helpless but frightened. He then looked at the people who dispersed in disappointment and stood helplessly in the rain, at a loss. He felt unspeakable in his heart.
Discomfort and depression.
Suddenly, someone stood beside him and asked him cautiously: "Are you the leader?"
Liang Jian looked at her. Wrapped under a very old raincoat was a tall and lean woman. The woman stood in the muddy water about one meter away from Liang Jian, with a reserved posture.
Liang Jian thought that she should be a family member of the victim, and he felt pity and asked her softly: "Sister, what can I do to you?"
The woman said: "Are you a big leader? I just heard people over there call you Secretary Liang? Are you the Municipal Party Committee Secretary?"
Liang Jian nodded: "I am eldest sister. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
The woman swallowed her saliva, and tears suddenly welled up in her face, which was covered with wind and frost. Suddenly, the woman knelt on the ground with a thud. The force was so strong that Liang Jian felt pain just looking at it.
It was not soft soil, but gravels of various sizes. Liang Jian hurriedly reached out to help her, but the woman refused to get up. Liang Jian had no choice but to squat down and persuade her: "If you need anything, just speak.
, you said you are kneeling like this, how can I bear it? Isn’t this shortening my life? "
The woman was a little panicked when she heard this, but she refused to get up. She cried and said, "If you promise to make the decision for us and seek justice for us, I will stand up!"
Liang Jian nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you are reasonable, I will definitely make the decision for you and get justice!"
"You keep your word?" The woman still couldn't believe it. Liang Jian nodded vigorously: "You keep your word!"
Only then did the woman stand up. Perhaps she hurt her knee when she knelt down and couldn't stand up straight. Liang Jian hurriedly asked Shen Lianqing to help her and walked into the tent.
After sitting down, Liang Jian asked Shen Lianqing to make her a cup of hot water, and then checked her knees. After making sure there were no major problems, she said, "Sister, if you have any grievances, you can tell them now!"
Before the woman could say anything, she started to wipe her tears again. Liang Jian was anxious, but he could only be patient and handed her a tissue while waiting patiently. After a long time, she got better and finally told the story intermittently.
.
It turns out that although there was a heavy rain, there were many large and small mines in Taihe City, but only this mine collapsed. There was a reason for this.
As early as a month ago, there was a minor accident in this mine. At that time, only two workers were slightly injured. One had a scratch on his skin and the other had a slight fracture in his arm. The mine owner settled the matter and paid some money, and that was all.
