if you are still there

Chapter 83 Let Him Do It By Himself

When Ding Xu found it according to the address given by Fu Er, it was raining heavily.

When he got there, he heard the sound of cars in the distance. He walked quickly along the muddy road and saw a camp, but it was blocked any further.

Some of the temporary tents were camouflaged. Ding Xu glanced at them and walked straight forward. People around him were busy. Some people were packing up the tents, and some were squatting in the awning on the side of the road and eating box lunch.He glanced at them, quickly locked on to a few people, walked over to the awning and squeezed over and asked, "My fellow, is this the Ganjing Mine?"

The middle-aged men who were eating were still wearing wet raincoats, and they couldn't tell whether it was rain or muddy water, so they nodded when they heard him ask, "Yes!"

Someone also asked curiously: "What are you doing here? Are you traveling? It's not good here. The earthquake happened a few days ago. It's very dangerous!"

Most of them spoke with accents, and they couldn't tell where they were from. Ding Xu talked to them patiently, and soon learned that there was a big underground vibration here some time ago, and he didn't know whether it was an earthquake or an explosion. Many people were buried alive.They were hired to dig here and have been here for some time.

"A lot of people have been rescued. The People's Liberation Army is here and has been rescuing them all the time!" Someone said to Ding Xu.

Ding Xu was sure that there were people from the army, and he knew that he was in the right place. He got up and looked ahead. There was still a distance outside the camp to the mining area. There was a cordon over there, and many people could be seen through the rain curtain. The newly dug ditches are being dredged in the rain, and the mine pit is reinforced to avoid secondary collapse.

Ding Xu lowered his head and asked the villagers again, "Where is your person in charge?"

The fellow pointed over there and said, "Here, that's over there!"

Ding Xu didn't hesitate much, and immediately went up to the person in charge, and asked, "Are you the person in charge here? Can you show me the list of rescued people? How many people have been rescued? Are there any more?" People are buried underneath?"

The person in charge was wearing a large plastic poncho and was eating a box of cold rice in the rain. When Ding Xu asked, he swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Ding Xu replied without thinking: "I am a family member. I would like to know if there is anyone surnamed Xiao on the list for this rescue? He is about 1.8 meters tall, has a darker complexion, and speaks with a slight southern accent..." He saw The other party shook his head and asked impatiently, "Is there any other person in charge here? Where is Pan Feng? Where is Pan Feng?!"

The other party spoke with a local accent, and some things were not clear. Ding Xu was so anxious that he wanted to go to the front to have a look, so he pushed him away and was stopped by that person. Several people came to stop Ding Xu and shouted for him to go out.

Ding Xu looked up and saw a green camouflage figure walking over, and immediately shouted: "Team Pan! Team Pan, I'm here!"

Pan Feng raised his eyes and saw Ding Xu, waved his hands to make those people let go of him, frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

Ding Xu was in a mess, the disposable raincoat on his body was torn apart during the pushing and shoving just now, most of his hair and collar were wet, and his glasses were blurred. He took off his glasses and wiped the rain on his face. Said: "What about Xiao Liangwen, the mission he set out with you is also here, right? How is he doing now?"

Pan Feng answered these questions with a hundred sets of official rhetoric, and kept them watertight, but seeing Ding Xu's tense expression and careful questioning, he couldn't even make up a single sentence.He could only say to him: "A few days ago, the mine disaster... was buried below, and the rescue is still in progress."

Ding Xu's voice became tense, he looked at him and said, "How many days?"

"Eighteen days."

Ding Xu closed his eyes, as if a hole had been opened in his heart and was soaked in blood, a fishy smell of rust gushed from his chest to his throat. He made ten thousand guesses, but he didn't expect it to be the last The bad kind.He was silent for only a second or two, his Adam's apple rolled, and he said again: "How far is the progress now? How far is the incident that day from here... I want to see the construction drawings, my major can help a little, I Please stay here to assist, and I promise not to cause trouble for the rescue."

Pan Feng glanced at him and said, "It's too dangerous here, I promised him to take good care of you."

Ding Xu was unmoved, and insisted: "Let him do what he said himself, and no one needs to do it for him. I will stay until I find him."

Pan Feng looked at Ding Xu as if he saw another person through Ding Xu. He was a little smaller than Ding Xu but had a stronger temper. If something happened to him, that person would insist on staying, right?Thinking of this, he didn't reject Ding Xu again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, now the heavy rain cannot be used for construction, come with me, and I will show you the progress map of the excavation."

Ding Xu's eyes lit up for a moment, and he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."
