Chapter 89: Fighting to Go to the Mine

His uncle patted the remaining half of his thigh and shook his head. “No, this happened a few years ago. I saw a fruit tree halfway up the mountain and climbed up to pick some fruits. I accidentally fell and broke my legs!”

When Reporter Liu heard that, he was speechless for a moment.

If only his legs were injured at the coal mine!

This way, he would have the materials to slander Shanbai Coal Mine!

Grandpa Yang pulled Reporter Liu and shouted, “Can you talk to our boss to let my son go to mine too!”

Reporter Liu was shocked. “What? The coal mine has collapsed! It’s very risky to go to the coal mine!”

“Aiyah, you don’t know. People who work in the mines can earn a few hundred yuan a month. My son didn’t work in the mines, so he could only earn about 100 yuan a month. My son always shouts at me that he wants to work in the mine. However, he never got the chance to do so.”

“Yes, yes. My husband also wants to go to the mine!”

His uncle shouted, “The workers who are going to the mines all have shifts. You can’t fight for it!”

He still wanted to go to the mine. If not for his injured legs, he could have earned more!

Reporter Liu did not manage to get any information out of him. He was even pulled along by them to hear many complaints.

“Since you’re not here to demand an explanation, why are you here?”

Reporter Liu couldn’t help but asked what he was really thinking.

“Like I said just now, our security team is here to ensure the safety of the village. I heard that there are people wandering around the children in our village. Who knows if they are here to steal the children? We are here to watch them!”

“Steal the children?”

Even the county head, Wang Zhongshan, was stunned by these words.

“There’s even child theft here?”

The uncle said, “Isn’t that so? A few years ago, someone impersonated a leader and came to the village to inspect. He almost stole a child from our village. There are so many people here this time. If any of them came with ill intentions and actually succeeded in stealing children, where can we find them?”

Xiao Xia, the little reporter who had interviewed Xie Chaochao and the other children, saw that he wouldn’t be able to get any useful information. He was just about to interview the children again when he heard this and stopped in his tracks.

If he went over to look for those children again, would he be seen as a child thief and chased out?

…

Due to the collapse of the mine, the electrical circuits inside had been cut off. All the lights had stopped working, leaving only the indicator lights along the passageways. The green light that emitted provided some light.

Xie Zhou was wearing a protective suit, and his face was covered, leaving only his eyes exposed. Using this weak light, he walked along the passageway.

His gaze was firm, and he did not seem to be panicking in the slightest about being trapped underground. Behind him, there was another person who was grabbed by the arm and dragged forward by Xie Zhou. That person’s body was constantly dragged along the ground, bumping against the uneven tunnel.

The person did not have any reaction. He had clearly fainted and was unconscious.

Xie Zhou pulled him to the blocked area and threw him to the ground.

“If you’re awake, get up!”

The person on the ground still had no reaction.

Xie Zhou threw the shovel in his hand to the ground, right next to the person’s head. “If you still don’t get up, I’ll let you have a taste of what the shovel is capable of!”

The person on the ground immediately got up and distanced himself from Xie Zhou.

“How did you know that I was awake?”

“Breathing! Your breathing frequency changed!”
