Chapter 142 Welcome Death How could I do this subconsciously?Generally speaking, before mining, technicians need to conduct inspections here and survey the rock structure here with various instruments, and mining needs to be carried out while ensuring the safety of the miners. If a survey had been conducted, it would be impossible for such a large sinkhole to exist without being known. It could only be illegal mining and the procedures were not followed properly. I should have told this to my fellow miners who were completely unaware of the danger and were still working hard. Tell them that there is a sinkhole here, tell them that the place where they work is so dangerous, tell them that they may be killed by falling rocks at any time. Or tell reporters and let the media report this matter to expose the inside story of illegal mining here. However, no matter which method is used, the mining of this mine will definitely not be able to continue. This place will be investigated and I will lose my job... My daughter's illness... At night, I tossed and turned in bed. If I told them, our family would completely lose its source of income. However, if we don't speak out, it would be equivalent to putting the lives of all the miners in danger. Once the stone wall connected to the tiankeng is completely loosened, then, although the falling rocks will not cause a landslide, what if there are people underneath and get hit? what should I do? I thought about it all night. I thought about the dead miner, the 50,000 yuan as compensation, and more importantly, my daughter's illness.
I thought about my older son, who had excellent grades and would graduate from middle school with honors, go to the best high school in the city, and then go to college. I thought of my youngest son, who is already seven years old. At home, he helps his grandparents weed and fertilize the fields, and helps his mother with laundry and cooking. He has even begun to learn to read and write with his older brothers and sisters. As I was thinking, the rooster crowed and the day dawned. I made a decision in my heart. No! No! I screamed frantically in this body, but how could I undo what had already happened? I couldn’t stop the original owner of this body from making the decision. I can only watch helplessly as everyone here walks towards their end... There was a noise in my eldest son's room. He had already gotten up. He had to get up before dawn every day. It took him nearly two hours to walk from here to town. I had asked him to live in the school before, but he refused to agree, saying that running back and forth was good for his health. I know he wants to come back and help with more housework at home. I got up and looked at my son. He was a little surprised that I got up so early. "Dad...what made you wake up?" I touched my son's head and said, "Dad has been busy with work and family matters lately, and I haven't taken a good look at you. My son has grown up and has a mustache." The son smiled shyly and scratched his head: "Yes, I have grown up." After a while, he tentatively said, "Dad, how about... I don't want to go to school? There's no point in going to school..." I wasn't angry. I knew he wanted to go out to work early to reduce the burden on his family, so he said that on purpose. So I patted his head gently: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go to school obediently and get into a good university in the future. Go out of this small village and explore more distant places, okay?" The son pouted, nodded reluctantly, put on his schoolbag, left the house, and skipped to school. You can see that he is in a very happy mood. I stared at my son's back until he completely disappeared from my sight. "Goodbye, my son."
I thought silently in my heart. Then, I said goodbye to my wife, parents, sleeping daughter and little son one by one. After finishing the morning work, everyone came out to eat and then take a short break. I didn't rest. I deliberately showed my face in front of everyone and then went down the mine. "Zhang, don't you want to take a rest?" I smiled and said, "No, if I work harder, maybe I can get a bigger bonus. I still owe money to my boss!" I picked up the pickaxe and went down into the mine when no one was there. I moved the stone that was blocking the hole and swung the pickaxe with all my might. When the huge rock fell, I didn't dodge or evade. Instead, I closed my eyes and faced it. …… This man did not let me feel the pain of being crushed to death by a boulder, and pulled my soul away from empathy. This man thought of a way that he thought was the best of both worlds. Now, when everyone hears such a loud noise and goes to look for him, they will definitely see such a big sinkhole and the loose stone walls. His death will be considered an accident, and in order to silence his family, he will inevitably have to pay more compensation. My daughter’s illness can be cured. The man felt that one person's life was worth it in exchange for so much, so he did not dodge at all and even greeted his death calmly. …… I opened my eyes and woke up. The first moment I opened my eyes, I saw Chu Yucheng staring at me without blinking. "Senior Sister Chen?" Chu Yucheng looked at me with a hint of wariness in his eyes, and he even deliberately mispronounced my name to test me. "I'm Su Cancan." I looked back. Chu Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I was still myself. In fact, I was a little surprised. The man didn't have any intention of wanting my body, not at all. Ou Bingjun in my body said, "Strange, a ghost with such deep obsession and resentment has no desire to devour the flesh and soul of living people? I was ready to fight him, but I didn't expect him to just leave your body without even looking at me?" I also don’t quite understand it, and what I saw during this empathy can only explain the cause of death of this poor man, but it cannot explain why there is such a large soul-sealing formation here. It also cannot be explained why he created a ghost wall to prevent us from getting out. The easiest way to figure out these questions is to ask him directly. This skinny male ghost who was trapped in obsession finally became a little more sober because of this empathy, and I tried to talk to him. "Do you know what happened to your daughter?" For this man who sacrificed his own life in exchange for his child's life, the child is his stimulant, and mentioning his daughter can probably help him communicate.
"My...my daughter, my daughter is rich...rich..." The sinister-looking man showed a hint of tenderness on his face, but soon changed his expression and returned to his fierceness: "No, I can't go out, no, none of you can go out!" "Why can't we go out?" I asked. His expression was a little dull, as if he was trying to recall something he wanted to forget, and he was struggling: "If I go out... I won't get any money if I go out... My daughter needs medical treatment... My son needs to go to school... I can't be without money." "But it has been more than 2024 years now. It is , and your children are already in their s or s!" I said. I saw the man in front of me pause suddenly. "Thirty...forty years old...2024?" I pressed the issue: "Look, this mine is now abandoned and has long been owned by someone else. The man next to me is the new owner of this mine." I pointed at Chu Yucheng. There was a trace of confusion on the man's face, but fortunately he finally sobered up a little. I asked him again: "What happened after you died? Why are you trapped here?" This man had been troubled by obsession for too long, and his soul had been trapped in the past thirty years. When he suddenly heard that thirty years had passed, he was unable to react. So now no matter what I ask him, he remains silent. When asked urgently, they would just say "I don't know" or "I can't remember." Or just mutter a few words: "You can't go out." It's like turning into a piece of wood. It doesn't matter if it's wood, as long as the ghost wall formation can be removed. Fortunately, the road ahead is clearly visible, and even the exit can be seen. You can go out now.
