Chapter 968 Don’t Be an Illegal Coal Miner in the 8th Generation
The car shook and bumped along for a long time. When it stopped, it was already dark outside.
"Come down."
A pair of strong hands pulled the two people out of the car, dragged them for dozens of meters, and then stuffed them into a small room full of smell.
"You two will stay here and go to work early tomorrow morning."
After he finished speaking, the man turned and left, and the sound of chains locking the door could be heard outside.
The road was too bumpy, and Yun Yi's stomach felt like it was churning. However, the few bites of biscuits he had eaten had long been digested, and he vomited for a long time but nothing came out.
After a moment's pause, Yun Yi looked at the man who had fallen asleep beside him.
Mu Tian.
He pretended to be a mentally retarded person and begged at the train station for more than two months. Finally, he attracted the attention of human traffickers and was sold to an illegal coal mine.
Before, when they were in the carriage, although there were only two of them, he still took the risk of being exposed and gave him half a pancake.
Mu Tian was snoring so loudly that he really didn't realize that he had changed places. He thought he was still sleeping in the train station as before.
Yun Yi looked around. The wooden house was leaking everywhere. Apart from the door locked with a chain, there was still a way to escape.
But he was so hungry that he had no strength to run away. In addition, there were mountains on all sides, and it was winter, so the land was bare and there was not even a wild animal. He starved to death before he could even run to the county town.
Since there was no rush to run out, Yun Yi simply found a place to lie down and wait until he had eaten his fill tomorrow.
After sleeping for a while, I heard the sound of gongs outside.
"Work has started. Work has started."
"Hurry up and get up, don't wait for me to hit you."
The man with a ferocious look shouted loudly, and the door of the wooden house where Yun Yi and the others were was pushed open, and Mu Tian, who was still sleeping, was grabbed.
"You idiot, you can still sleep. Get up and work."
"And you, what are you looking at? Go outside, get a hat and go work in the well."
Yun Yi was scolded by the man, but he still stood there without moving. He asked, "Is there anything to eat? If you want us to work, we have to be fed."
"Bah, you still want to work after eating?" The man spat, "I haven't eaten yet."
"The rule at the kiln is to work first and eat later. You have to be fed first and then work. How much compensation do I have to pay?" The man said as he was about to whip Yun Yi.
Yun Yi dodged quickly. Mu Tian didn't expect that he was so agile, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The man was happy to see Yun Yi move away.
"Okay, it's quite a sensitive one. I'm sure it won't hit you after it goes down the well."
"When you are full, your reaction will naturally be quick. If you are hungry, your reaction will definitely be slow." Yun Yi said.
Seeing Yun Yi still clamoring for food, the man immediately became unhappy again, "Stop talking nonsense and get down the well quickly. There is no rule in this cave that you can't eat before working."
The man pushed Mu Tian and drove a group of people including Yun Yi down the coal mine.
After receiving a poorly made safety helmet, Yun Yi followed a group of people down the coal mine in an elevator.
The group of people were all covered in dust, but their age range was vaguely visible.
From young people of sixteen or seventeen to old men in their fifties or sixties, no one had any expression on their face, as if they were already accustomed to the situation here.
There are hundreds of coal miners in this coal mine, but only a dozen supervisors.
The reason why there was no large-scale riot was that not all coal miners were trafficked.
Another part of the people come here to work and earn money. Those people can take the money and leave if they are no longer interested. They don’t know what black coal mines are. They only know that they make money here, so even if this is not a good place, it is definitely not a bad place.
In addition, they are generally illiterate, let alone understand the law, so even if they know that some people are sold by human traffickers, they do not know that this is an illegal act.
Also, they don’t think that the bad things done by the coal mine owner have anything to do with them. After all, they are just here to do hard labor and make money.
Due to the combination of various factors, although there are rumors of illegal coal mines and human trafficking in this area, they have been able to persist because there is no evidence and no one reports them, and with the help of local protection umbrellas.
It was not until the report written by Mu Tian was published that it attracted widespread attention.
-
After digging coal all day while hungry, when I got out of the coal mine in the elevator, it was already dark outside.
A group of people lined up to get food, and they were given food according to the amount of coal they dug out. Yun Yi was able to get two steamed buns.
At this moment, I didn't care about the food and hurriedly ate two steamed buns, but the hunger did not ease much.
It's a miracle that we can survive one day of this terrible life.
Later, Yun Yi saw through the gaps in the wooden house that the lights in the temporary houses outside had been turned off, and the coal miners should have gone to sleep.
"what……"
Just when Yun Yi was about to sneak out, Mu Tian, who was lying on a bed made of two wooden boards, suddenly shouted.
Yun Yi turned his head and saw Mu Tian waving his arms in the air twice, then continuing to sleep with a loud snore.
It seemed that the scream just now was caused by a nightmare.
Yun Yi knew he wasn't asleep.
Ignoring Mu Tian, he quietly slipped out from the gap.
After Yun Yi slipped out, Mu Tian continued snoring, but he had already opened his eyes.
The human trafficker brought Mu Tian with him to deceive Yun Yi, so Mu Tian knew that Yun Yi was a college entrance examination failure and came out of the village to do business and make money.
Unlike others, Yun Yi has a certain level of knowledge and culture.
Mu Tian heard the coal workers chatting during the day and knew that anyone who escaped and was caught would be beaten, so he spoke up to stop them.
But Yun Yi didn't listen to him and still slipped out.
After a while, the guards should find that Yun Yi has escaped and then go to catch him.
Just then, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from outside.
The sound is so small that you can't hear it at all in the quiet night unless you listen carefully.
To Mu Tian's shock, Yun Yi slipped back through the gap he had just slipped out of.
"Are you awake?" Yun Yi saw Mu Tian open his eyes and handed him the stolen paper bag. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat together?"
Yun Yi received two steamed buns according to the amount of coal he dug, while Mu Tian maintained his "fool" persona and only dug one basket of coal, so he only got a slightly smaller steamed bun.
The paper package in Yun Yi's hand had not been opened yet, but the aroma of oil already hit his face.
It's roast chicken.
"Chicken, eat, eat, eat."
Mu Tian clapped his hands, looking delighted.
He really looks like a fool with his eyes lighting up and drooling at the sight of roast chicken.
It was as if the person who gave him half a pancake and said those words in the car before was not him.
