Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 94

Guanzi Village, Dongshanmao by the Dongla River.

The red flag fluttered.

After more than 20 days of tossing, the earth dam repair project of the second production team of Guanzi Village finally officially started construction.

Building an earth dam is what the villagers call it. In fact, according to Xie Gong's design, it should be more accurately called an earth-rock dam, because the dam body needs to be reinforced with certain stones.

The Loess Plateau is not all loess. There are also a lot of rocks in many places, and there is no way to grow crops.Even in the Dongla River, many stones can be found.

The stone slabs produced in Linxian County are even more famous throughout the Loess Plateau.

Wang Yanqiang bought so many detonators before, just to extract stones from mountains.He purposely set up a blasting team and wanted to bring Wang Manyin into it.

"Uncle Yanqiang, let's forget about it... I'll still help carry the stone. For the blasting matter, you can find someone else." Wang Manyin refused very cowardly.

He really didn't want to touch dangerous items like detonators.In the online reports of later generations, there are many safety accidents, and I am really a little scared.

I only have one life, and I am not a professional.What should I do if I encounter a squib or something.

"You're such a coward, you said it's fine. As long as the fuse is long enough for this thing, there will be no problem." Wang Yanqiang looked at him very contemptuously, "Speaking of which, you are also 1.8 meters tall. What are you afraid of?"

"Uncle Yan Qiang, how can I compare with you. You have fought bayonets on the battlefield, and you have seen red heroes. You are full of courage. I am really not so courageous..." Wang Manyin continued to shake his head.

"It's okay, the more courage you practice, the more courageous you become. Tell you, when I was 16 years old and first went to the battlefield, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants. Bullets were flying around, and I didn't dare to lift it when I was lying in the trench. After two battles, nothing happened. Don't be afraid... During the Battle of Xifu, we stopped the horse bandit army on the plateau, and we ran out of bullets. Seeing the horse bandit army cavalry rushing up, they all charged up with bayonets, and none of them were cowards..."

Wang Manyin and the others were listening with great interest, but Wang Yanqiang suddenly stopped speaking.

"What happened later?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"I just stabbed an enemy cavalryman. Before I could pull out the bayonet, I just 'boomed'. I didn't know anything... When I woke up again, my head was full of blood. It was dark, and a man on the battlefield There were no survivors, and all comrades in arms were sacrificed. I fumbled and walked northward, only to find the team..."

After listening, everyone was silent.

Especially Wang Manyin, he was more touched. He only knew that Wang Yanqiang had served as a soldier before, but he did not expect to have such a turbulent experience.

In this era, Wang Manyin's mood has always been complicated.

Good, bad, both.

Compared with the prosperous and prosperous decades later, this era does have many shortcomings.But from many people, we can see the spirit that later generations do not have.

Don't be afraid of the sky, don't be afraid of the earth, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change into a new sky...

No matter what kind of king you are, just do it if you don't accept it.

"Okay, Uncle Yanqiang, I'll do it." At this point, Wang Manyin did not refuse.

"That's right, a man. He is afraid of wolves and tigers. It's too contemptible. I plan to let you join the militia team after the autumn harvest. I will recommend you to the top..." Wang Yanqiang patted the other party's shoulder, slightly He opened his mouth in relief.

If it were Wang Manyin who was fooling around more than half a year ago, he would never say such a thing.Now seeing that the other party is living a steady life after marriage, and is also considered a character, Wang Yanqiang intends to cultivate it.

"Uncle Yanqiang, let's forget about the militia team, I'm afraid of shooting..." Wang Manyin found a plausible reason to refuse.He knew that the other party had good intentions, but it wasn't necessary, and he didn't want to meddle in too many things.

Whenever there is a meeting in the village, a militia squad is used to detain people. Wang Manyin can't stand such an atmosphere.

A group of people walked and chatted, and drove the donkey cart to the back of Guanzi Village.After twisting and turning, I finally stopped in front of a small hill. The nearby hills were covered with stones. In the early years, people in the village used to get stones from here.

To open mountains and blast rocks, first use a sledgehammer to drill holes.

This is not something that can be done just by finding a random place, it is necessary to choose a suitable blasting point.

Wang Yanqiang had come here to search beforehand, and he already had a general idea in his heart.After a week of inspection, he picked up a ginger stone and carved marks on the stone.

After confirming the marks, he nodded in satisfaction and said: "Later, we will drill holes at the marked places. It needs to be drilled half a meter to a meter deep. This is a laborious job. A group of three will replace it with a sledgehammer. Substitution!"

Knowing that Wang Manyin had never drilled holes before, Wang Yanqiang deliberately divided the opponent into a group with himself, and was responsible for swinging the sledgehammer.

This job requires a lot of strength... The hammer alone weighs more than ten kilograms, and people with weak strength can't do it at all.

Wang Manyin's previous experience of wrestling with others in the village left a deep impression on Wang Yanqiang.This is why he specially invited the other party to join the blasting team.

At the critical moment, Wang Manyin was willing to work hard, so naturally he didn't refuse.

When Wang Yanqiang supported the steel drill, he immediately smashed it down with a sledgehammer.

Bang... The iron brazing sparks flew everywhere, penetrating into the four fingers of the stone surface.

This move startled Wang Yanqiang, and he almost jumped up and scolded: "My ancestor, look at it, and do things rough and rough. Before I finished speaking, you just smashed it down with a hammer, and you smashed it down. What should I do?"

"Uncle Yanqiang, it's not what you just said. A man should not be afraid of wolves and tigers when doing things." Wang Manyin argued with some grievances.

"That depends on the occasion... Swinging a sledgehammer is skillful. You must be steady and ruthless. You must not face people head-on. What should you do if you swing it off? I didn't die on the battlefield. You slammed it down and smashed your brains." If you smash it, how wronged it is." Wang Yanqiang replied angrily.

Well, let him say all the good things.

But Wang Manyin also listened to it, and deliberately staggered his body when swinging the second hammer.I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll hit the opponent's head.

After going back and forth for a while, the iron drill quickly hit a depth of more than half a meter.

On the other hand, Wang Qingming's group next to him had just drilled the first hole [-] centimeters deep.

This made Wang Yanqiang click his tongue: "Okay, Man Yin, you are indeed a little bull! How about it, change?"

"It's okay, I just warmed up," Wang Manyin didn't brag, and went through dozens of hammer rounds, out of breath and heartbeat.It's just that the body is a little hot, and I haven't even sweated.

He simply took off his padded jacket and walked towards the second embrasure with a sledgehammer on his shoulders.Wearing only a red autumn coat, his body can no longer be concealed, which is very enviable.

It wasn't until the second hole was shot that Wang Manyin got up and changed.

Wang Yanqiang immediately felt that the cooperation was not going well, and kept saying: "Brother Qingming, did you not eat? Try harder, look at people, almost hit me and hurt..."

After a lot of tossing, they spent a full hour and finally drilled six holes.

Next, Wang Yanqiang loaded the explosives himself.This is a dangerous job, and the whole process must be done carefully, so he dare not let others replace it.

Wang Yanqiang was busy squatting when he suddenly heard the sound of a match being struck behind him.

Turning his head, he almost lost his mind.

Then he yelled: "Brother Qingming, what are you doing, you want to blow us all up?!"

The voice was so sudden that Wang Qingming even threw the matchbox on the ground in fright.

Hearing the sound, Wang Manyin, who was going to put water next to him, ran back in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Blame me, I forgot what you said... I was too tired from punching my eyes just now, so I wanted to smoke a pipe to rest."

When he knew what had happened, Wang Manyin was also in a cold sweat.

Lighting a cigarette next to the explosive pile, I am really impatient.

This is the reason why he is unwilling to join the blasting team: everyone has not received relevant training and has no safety awareness at all.

Wang Yanqiang carefully loaded the explosives, cut the fuse into several sections, and inserted them into the detonators respectively.Then put it into the blasthole explosive, and then compact it with soil.

This step is also very dangerous... When he was not a professional, he once saw someone poke the detonator too hard with an iron drill, which caused an explosion, and the iron drill pierced a big hole in his stomach on the spot.

After doing all this, Wang Yanqiang called everyone to a safe place and told: "One person lights a cigarette, and the fuse is lit later. Remember to listen to my password! I will call one, two, three, and everyone will light together. Run, don't dawdle."

In fact, Wang Yanqiang left a margin when cutting the fuse, but it was the first time for several of his companions to do it, so he had to explain clearly first, so as to prevent them from making mistakes in a hurry.

After he finished speaking, Wang Manyin immediately retorted: "Uncle Yanqiang, don't panic, I feel like I'll try it once before I speak."

"Why?" Wang Yanqiang asked in confusion.

"Let's get a few fuses and stick them in the soil, and try calling out the password once, so that everyone can have experience."

"You're right, this is indeed better." Wang Yanqiang followed suit, and immediately took out the remaining fuse and cut it into several sections.

One try really went wrong!

The cigarette Wang Qingming lit contained a lot of soot, and he didn't even light it after poking it a few times.

Seeing that everyone else turned over and ran away, he continued to blow on his cigarette butt, without any sign of nervousness.

If this is going to be used in actual combat, it is estimated that it will be blown up long ago.

As for Wang Junxiang, he ran quite early, and the key fuse was not lit.

Seeing this, Wang Yanqiang had to ask everyone to try twice more, and finally nothing went wrong.

Even so, he still explained a little uneasy: "Remember what I said just now, don't light it if it doesn't light up, safety first!"

After confirming that no one else existed near the mountain, he led everyone to officially light the fire.

With the simulation experiment just now, Wang Manyin's side went very smoothly.After arriving at the location, he blew on the cigarette butt a few times and waited until Wang Yanqiang gave the order to light it immediately.

Amid the sound of the burning fuse, he hurriedly ran towards the evacuation point.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Junxiang followed closely behind...

Soon, all six people arrived.

After waiting for a while, Wang Junxiang looked into the distance, and asked nervously: "Uncle Yanqiang, what's the matter, one of them didn't ring?"

"Why panic, I must reserve some time..."

As soon as the words fell, bang...an explosion sounded!
Accompanied by the white smoke, gravel rose into the air dozens of meters away, and big boulders rolled into the bottom of the cliff.

Wang Yanqiang hurriedly bent his fingers to count, and Wang Manyin also counted in his heart.

Then, there were a few more bangs!
When the sound of explosions and falling rocks completely subsided, the faces of both of them changed.
