Chapter 1 Li Qiang
"Li Qiang, Li Qiang, how is the situation down there? How is the situation down there?"
"Fortunately, everything is normal. It's just that the mud is too viscous and difficult to operate. I'm still exploring."
"Okay, pay attention to safety, notify the ground immediately if there is any situation, no delay!"
At a construction site, a group of people wearing hard hats were waiting anxiously around a wellhead filled with mud. One of them, a man who looked like a leader, was holding a walkie-talkie and communicating with the underground construction workers.
This is the site of a ‘water ghost’ operation.
The so-called water ghost is a worker who falls off the drill bit when drilling a foundation well and goes down to fix the wire rope on the drill bit. Because he can't see anything while working underground and is extremely dangerous, he is also called a water ghost.
Naturally, no one is willing to do this kind of highly dangerous work, but there must be brave men under the heavy reward. There are many people who are short of money these days. As long as the money is enough, you don't have to worry about finding people.
The work was carried out nervously and orderly, and it seemed to be going very smoothly. The leader holding the walkie-talkie showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Suddenly, a short staff member wearing a yellow safety helmet glanced in the direction of the well wall, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted in horror: "No, no, no, no, no, Manager Wang, the well wall is shaking, and there are signs of collapse!"
"
Manager Wang's hand trembled and he almost dropped the walkie-talkie to the ground. He hurried over and shouted: "What did you say? Say it again?"
Before the short man had time to answer, he saw the mud inside the well mouth begin to roll, and then large pieces of mud on the well wall fell off, and soon a large piece fell down.
"The well wall is cracked...no, Li Qiang, get ready quickly, we will pull you up right away!"
"It's over, it's too late!"
"Ah ah ah, the hole has collapsed. Make emergency preparations immediately, activate the emergency plan, and call Li Qiang's family. Hurry!"
The whole scene was in chaos, and shouts could not be heard.
······
Li Qiang is that water ghost.
It's not that he likes doing this very much. In fact, no one likes such a profession. After all, you only have one life and no one wants to risk their life.
But who made him short of money? The burden of the entire family fell on him alone, and it would be impossible if he didn't do it.
His father was seriously ill and couldn't be cured, his younger sister didn't dare to eat enough to go to school, and he was alone in his thirties. All of this was due to lack of money. So after being introduced by someone, Li Qiang started this job without hesitation.
Up to 20,000, but not up to 2 million, this is a true portrayal of this job, absolutely high risk and high reward.
Li Qiang leaned against the well wall quietly, feeling neither sad nor happy in his heart.
He had already felt the vibrations on the well wall, and knew that this time the god of fate did not favor him, and his life would be over.
As for miracles, they don't exist.
But Li Qiang doesn't feel regretful. If he dies here, his family will receive two million in compensation. This is money that he can't earn even after working for many years. With this money, the family's difficulties can be easily solved.
I heard that a company in the capital has developed a new anti-cancer drug. The hospital has revealed to him that this new drug has entered the clinical stage of use and the effect is very good. After all, this is the era of spiritual energy recovery, and stubborn diseases that were invincible in the past are
, it’s not so scary now.
Of course, the price of this new drug related to Reiki is also astonishing. It is said that one course of treatment costs one million. His father was in the early stage and could be cured in one course of treatment.
More and more soil fell away, and the space squeeze became more and more serious. Li Qiang showed a relaxed smile. It was worth it to leave me alone and have a happy family!
Closing his eyes, Li Qiang found that he actually looked forward to death coming soon.
······
"Li Qiang, Li Qiang, the phone at your home is connected. It's your sister. How are you? Can you still say something? Your sister wants to talk to you."
The quality of the walkie-talkie was good, and the call could still be maintained in this situation. Li Qiang couldn't think of making a sound. He didn't want to feel the feeling of life and death. But after thinking about it, he still spoke: "I'm not dead yet, Manager Wang.
There is no need to talk to my sister, just listen, I have something to say to you."
"What are you talking about? As long as I, Old Wang, can do it, I will help you do it." Manager Wang's tone was heavy, and no one felt comfortable at this time.
"Wang Qianqian, I know that the amount of the accident insurance I signed with you is two million. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be greedy, but you also know the situation in my family. The money may not be enough. I hope you can pay for it in addition to the insurance compensation.
If you give me more, I can die in peace."
This is Li Qiang's purpose. He knows he can get out because he has the opponent's handle.
There was a brief silence above, and then Manager Wang's embarrassed voice was heard: "Li Qiang, I can understand your situation, but rules are rules. We signed a contract before you went down the mine. I can't agree with the company on your request."
Mention it! Even if I mention it, I’m afraid the company won’t be able to agree. Do you have any other requests? Why don’t you have a word with your sister?”
"No, Manager Wang, you must agree to my request. Don't think that I don't know that your construction unit has insufficient qualifications and equipment problems. Otherwise, the hole would not collapse so easily. I already gave this information to you before I came down.
As long as you promise to give me an extra five hundred thousand, just five hundred thousand, I promise that my sister will not pursue this, otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
There was another moment of silence, and then Manager Wang's voice appeared again: "Okay! But whether it will work or not depends on the company's opinion. I can help you operate it, which can be regarded as repaying the friendship between you and me during this time."
"Thank you. I can hold on for a while and let my sister talk to me on the phone." Li Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. Now he really had no regrets.
"Brother, brother! I'm Xiaoying, can you hear me? Wuwuwuwu, what's wrong with you, brother, don't scare me, you can't die, I want you alive, I'll be there soon, brother, you want
Hold on, oooooooooo..."
The voice from the walkie-talkie was a little weak, and Li Qiang had a look of pain on his face. Such a gentle voice would never be heard again.
After taking a breath, Li Qiang calmed his voice and said: "Xiaoying, don't cry, crying is useless. You have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, don't cry, because crying can't solve any problems.
.You have to laugh, I like to see you smiling, I like to see our whole family happy, we are all happy and we will never cry."
"Brother! Wuwuwuwu, brother, what's wrong with you, I don't want you to die, I won't go to school, and I won't spend a penny anymore. Brother, please hold on, okay, you will be fine,
Woohoo.”
Li Qiang twisted his body to make himself more comfortable, "Haha, Xiaoying, I don't regret it. After you get the compensation, let the hospital give Dad new medicine. And you must go to the training class to practice. The future is
Practitioners, ordinary people have no future. One thing to remember is that in addition to the compensation in the contract, the construction company will also accompany you with an additional 500,000 yuan. If they don't give it to you, sue them. I have all the information on their violations.
Leave it at home, remember, you must live well and don't cry!"
"No, brother, brother, you won't die, you will be fine, you won't die, no..."
The little girl's heart-rending screams were still heard on the intercom, but Li Qiang had no strength to speak. At this moment, the mud had completely wrapped his body, and as the pressure increased, he was already
I can't even breathe.
"Manager Wang, please pull out the tube and give me a good time."
Li Qiang used his last strength to speak into the intercom requesting to cut off the oxygen tube, and then gradually passed out.
There was silence on the ground.
······
The groggy Li Qiang suddenly found that he was 'floating'. His body was floating uncontrollably, and it was not upward, but downward!
Floating downward?
What is the situation?
Li Qiang wanted to open his eyes and take a look, but he couldn't. It was like a nightmare. He could feel it but couldn't control his body.
Chapter completed!
