Chapter 2195 It’s good to be alive

"hand……"

Before Wang Kecheng could react, he felt his vision suddenly go dark, followed by the crisp sound of a slap, which resounded throughout the room.

Yang Aiguo was really rude and slapped Wang Kecheng in the face.

Wang Kecheng had been beaten before, and after this slap, his cheeks became red and swollen, and even the corners of his mouth were a little cracked.

Yang Aiguo acted ruthlessly, because he knew very well that Wang Kecheng had arranged a group of people to chase and intercept him, with the purpose of making him lose limbs. If he had no one to protect him, he would probably die.

The scene of Secretary Yang beating Boss Wang made the surrounding miners' families all stunned, including the rescue team members.

They thought that the bet was just talk, but unexpectedly, Yang Aiguo actually took it seriously.

There are hundreds of miners trapped under the mine. After so many slaps, how can Wang Kecheng still save his face?

Some leaders nearby felt a little sorry for him, or knew that Wang Kecheng was Tang Shaoying's favorite, so they wanted to persuade him.

Before he could speak, Yang Aiguo said, "Comrades, don't think too much. I slapped him to help him eliminate his karma. Because everything is predestined by God. It's not that I want to hit him, but I made a promise to God. Only by hitting him can I fulfill my promise. You should all understand this, right?"

Yang Aiguo's heresy must sound confusing to intellectuals.

But those honest farmers and ordinary people feel that it is a different experience.

By betting is serious, you will be beaten if you lose. If you do n’t be beaten, their relatives may not be rescued.

This idea lingered in everyone's mind.

This made the miners' families no longer worry about the slapping. Instead, if someone tried to stop Yang Aiguo from hitting Wang Kecheng, they would look at him angrily or even speak out to stop him.

People can feel the change in the atmosphere around them.

Those leaders who wanted to make peace suddenly felt like a thorn in their backs. They noticed the angry gazes of countless people and were slightly startled.

In official circles, many people believe that it is better to have less trouble than more.

In the current situation, Yang Aiguo is very strong, and his leader Liu Fusheng has gained great reputation in the rescue.

It's not worth it no matter how you think about it, to offend Liu Fusheng, the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee, for the sake of Wang Kecheng.

After weighing the pros and cons, many people who wanted to stop Yang Aiguo chose to retreat.

With no one to stop him, Yang Aiguo completely let go.

There was a series of crisp crackling sounds, and Yang Aiguo's big slaps kept hitting Wang Kecheng's face.

Wang Kecheng was beaten so hard that he saw stars, his cheeks were swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't even tell the directions.

Only then did Yang Aiguo sigh, shake his hands and say, "I'm a little tired, but I'm sure I haven't finished slapping you yet. I'm counting them. I'll take a break or I'll slap you again when I feel better."

These words almost made Wang Kecheng collapse to the ground.

Isn't Yang such a jerk? He smoked so much and still keeps a record of it. Will he smoke again later? Is he determined to kill me?

The people around them looked at their state and were all a little amused.

Everyone knows that the hatred between Secretary Yang and President Wang has been completely established.

On the other side, more and more miners were carried over by the rescue team.

Based on the list of trapped miners and the information provided by the miners' families at the scene, after careful statistics and verification, it was found that the vast majority of miners working underground had been rescued.

Some people with better physical fitness and qualified indicators were also allowed to meet with their families.

The reporter found a miner to interview.

The miner said with emotion: "Thank God, I am lucky. When the mine collapsed, there was no accident in our section of the mine. Only the exit was blocked and the power supply was cut off."

"It was difficult for us to find the direction to escape in the pitch-black mine. Fortunately, the air in the mine was relatively sufficient for breathing. We relied on the little food and water to maintain our lives... Speaking of all this, we have to thank our mine manager."

The mine manager he was talking about was a middle-aged man named Liang Sheng who had extensive experience in underground operations.

After the reporter interviewed this person, he went directly to find Liang Sheng.

Liang Sheng was not in the same condition as the previous miner. He was sitting in a wheelchair and sighing: "When I was young, I encountered a landslide accident when I went down the mine. Some old miners told us that as long as there is enough air, we must not panic. We must look for a solid mountain to prevent a second landslide accident. Then, we should take out as much food as we have and distribute it evenly. All the trapped people must not panic and must keep knocking on the stone wall and wait for rescue..."

The reporter asked curiously: "What if there is no rescue, or the rescue is delayed?"

Liang Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When we encounter a mining disaster, we have no control over our own lives. To be honest, whether we can hold on until rescue arrives depends on luck. If we can't hold on, or no one rescues us, then it's your bad luck. For example, if we hadn't met Secretary Liu and Professor Wang this time, we wouldn't have survived."

The reporter asked: "Have you met Secretary Liu?"

Liang Sheng said: "I saw him. I was so hungry that I was in a trance. Secretary Liu personally helped me up and gave me a sip of water. The searchlight on his head was very bright. I saw the light on his head, as if he was sent by God to save us."

"I later found out that he was already in the mountain, having trudged for a long time. I told him that I was familiar with the mining area and could stay and help them rescue people, but they refused."

Liang Sheng's face was full of emotion: "Secretary Liu said that saving people is his responsibility, not ours. We are the ones who need to be rescued. In times of crisis, state officials must take the lead and must be at the forefront... My family is still waiting for me outside. No matter what my reason is, I must go out to receive treatment, recover my body, and let my family rest in peace."

At this point, Liang Sheng's eyes were red, and he said with a choked voice: "We originally thought that leaders were high and mighty, only able to speak empty words, talk about doctrines and ideals, and were completely different from us."

"Now I know that we were wrong... Secretary Liu treated us, the grassroots people, as his own family. He is a good man and a benefactor to all of us. We all owe him our lives."

The reporter was also quite moved: "Director Liang, after being rescued, do you have anything else to say?"

Liang Sheng sighed: "There's nothing much to say, I just feel that it's great to be alive."

It's good to be alive.

These four words made many miners and their families' eyes red.

When alive, the family is reunited; when dead, the family is torn apart.

Although most of the miners were rescued, casualties were still inevitable in this mining disaster.
