7. Blood and Tears Coal Mine

Tang Dong took Li Ximei to his home in Cuihu New District, which Tang Dong bought not long ago. Li Ximei used to rent a house. After Liu Biao died, she knew that her relationship with Tang Dong should be over. She felt that she was no longer pure and unworthy. Enjoying Tang Dong's love, she said goodbye to Tang Dong, but Tang Dong refused to let her go, saying that without her, his life had no meaning and he would commit suicide with her departure.

Li Ximei was extremely moved. She also loved Tang Dong deeply and couldn't bear to abandon Tang Dong and run for her own life. So, she agreed to stay. Tang Dong was extremely happy and asked her to move to his house and get married by the end of the year. Li Ximei was determined to accompany Tang Dong through a quiet and beautiful time, and she was willing to spend her life in exchange for one hour of companionship.She lived with Tang Dong with the idea of ​​​​resigning herself to fate.

In fact, when she dreamed back at midnight, she always hugged Tang Dong and secretly cried. She knew that although this day was extremely happy, it was just a dream, an illusion, a mirage... One day, the dream would be broken, and the truth would finally be revealed. One day, she was willing to continue having sweet dreams, even if she deceived herself and others, so she cherished every minute and second she spent with Tang Dong.

As soon as she returned to Tang Dong's house, Li Ximei pulled Tang Dong into the bathroom to take a bath. She caressed every inch of Tang Dong's skin in the warm running water. They kissed each other from the bathroom to the bed, and began to linger crazily until they Until all her passion and physical strength is exhausted.When the tide gradually receded and the sea calmed down, Tang Dong held her tightly in his arms. She fell deeply into his love and enjoyed the short-term happiness.

"Dear, how could you be related to Liu Biao's death?"

Tang Dong's words were like a needle piercing her heart, and the past came roaring back like a tsunami...

Li Ximei was born in Daping Village, Wulin County, Shanxi Province. Her family has been very poor since she can remember. Her mother is a consumptive child. When she was 12 years old, her brother fell off a cliff and broke his left foot. He had no money to send him to a regular hospital for treatment, so he used rural methods to fix his brother's calf and then applied herbal medicine. When the splint was removed, he discovered that the bones were misaligned and he became a cripple.

His brother dropped out of school after he became lame. His classmates laughed at him, and he couldn't bear it, so he dragged his disabled legs up the mountains to work and farm in the fields.

In the spring when Li Ximei was 11 years old (1998), many coal mining bosses came to Wulin and they came to the village to recruit workers. At this time, his brother was already 17 years old. He wanted to dig coal. He loved Li Ximei very much. His sister was exquisite, well-behaved, pure and cute. She ranks first in the class in all subjects in every exam. She is the only hope of the family. Therefore, the brother wants to make more money to prepare his sister for college.

But the coal boss only liked her father Li Dangqiang, saying that his brother was lame and useless.Without saying a word, my brother picked up a nearly 100-kilogram stone mill on the side of the road, raised it to his head with both hands, and walked [-] meters before putting the stone mill down. The boss was stunned and said that a hero comes from a young man, and agreed to hire him on the spot.

The family did not expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

My brother and my father went to the mountains to mine coal. Since they were not far from home, they would bring back hundreds or thousands of yuan from the coal mine every month on salary day. My father was illiterate. After leaving 500 yuan for living expenses, they called me brother. When he went to the rural credit cooperative to save money, his brother would ride a bicycle to the town to save money. He would take Li Ximei with him every time. After depositing the money, he would put the passbook on her and tell her the password. Li Ximei found it strange why his brother always Does this happen every time?

Of course she didn't understand when she was young: her brother was telling her about his future affairs. He knew that coal mining was very dangerous and people died every year. But he didn't want his sister to be frightened. Something might happen to Dad... By the time Li Ximei realized it, it was already too late.

It was a cold day in the twelfth lunar month, with heavy snow falling in the sky. The northwest wind was roaring like a wounded beast, and was about to overturn the cedar roof of her home. She was doing homework by the stove, and from time to time she put her hands that were red from the cold. She reached into the stove to keep warm. Suddenly, the wooden door was pushed open, and a gust of biting wind blew in. She was startled: it turned out that he was Uncle Liu from the same village. He was mining coal with his father in the coal field. He saw Li Ximei. Ask: "Where is your mother?"

"Lying on the bed."

Uncle Liu quickly ran into her bedroom and said to her mother: "Quick, Dangqiang and Xiao Cong are buried..."

Mother screamed heart-breakingly, suddenly jumped up from the bed, took Li Ximei's hand, and ran towards the mountain...

She and her mother ran nearly 6 kilometers of mountain roads in one breath. When they arrived at the coal yard, she and her mother vomited because they had never run such a long distance before.

When they arrived at the site of the incident, they saw more than 20 workers struggling to dig the tunnel, and some were transporting soil from the landslide. Their father and brother were trapped in the tunnel by the landslide. She and her mother were crying and digging the dirt with both hands. They didn't even feel the blood. After four hours of searching, they finally found their father and brother. However, they had turned into two cold corpses. Their father and brother hugged each other tightly before they died. She and her mother I couldn't recognize my father and brother because they were all covered in black, and a lot of blood and cinders were condensed together. I couldn't tell where my father and brother were injured... My mother saw her two beloved people passing away suddenly, and she fainted on the spot. After being sent to the hospital for rescue, Li Ximei cried until her throat was swollen and she couldn't make a sound. With the help of her uncle and uncle, she hurriedly buried her father and brother.

This coal mine was jointly run by local gang bosses Wu Sanhu and Liu Biao. Wu Sanhu only compensated her mother and daughter 6 yuan. According to the accident death compensation regulations at the time, they had to pay at least 30 yuan. However, the township party committee secretary and the township head ordered the village party secretary and The village director is responsible for communicating with the mother.

Li Ximei's mother is a weak and timid rural woman. How can she withstand the powerful offensive and heavy pressure from the government and gangs on her own?On the sixth day after burying her father and brother, her mother finally signed the compensation agreement. Her mother couldn't even write her name, so she had to ask Li Ximei to sign on her behalf. Li Ximei was as stubborn as her brother. She felt it was unfair and refused to sign on her mother's behalf. , in the end, my mother had to put her thumbprint on the agreement.

Li Ximei developed a rebellious attitude towards her mother's weak behavior. Her mother felt sorry for her father and brother. If she had not been sick, her father and brother would not have gone to the mountains to mine coal. In addition, Li Ximei gradually became cold towards her, and she was finally crushed by the last straw. She collapsed... her mother committed suicide by taking pesticide while she was going to school.

From then on, she became an orphan. Her father, mother, and brother passed away one after another. She questioned the world: Why did they die so miserably?My brother is only 17 years old, and my parents are only 40 years old. If they were born in the city and received state salaries, would they die?No, definitely not!But how can we jump out of the agricultural gate?The only way is to study hard and get into college... After understanding these truths, she studied harder.

She was admitted to the county's key middle school - No. [-] Middle School with excellent results. If she attends this middle school, as long as she maintains her upper-middle-class grades, she will have no problem getting into college. It will just be a first, second or third year. The problem.

However, the truth is far from what she sees on the surface. It is a chilling and bloody truth.As time goes by, she grows up and becomes more and more beautiful. She has been rated as the number one school beauty by her students since the first year of high school. Therefore, many gangsters in the society pursue her and harass her. She does not show up after school every day. If you dare to go out of the school, you can only hide in the dormitory. Only when you are with your classmates can you feel safe. There are also security guards at the school gate, and ordinary gangsters dare not come in.

One day, the principal asked her to go to his office. She didn't think anything, so she went and saw the principal talking to a young man in the office. The principal introduced the young man to her: "Classmate Xiao Li, this is Hong Mr. Li from Shanshan Coal Mining Company is from the same family as you, and he wants to get to know you..."

Li Ximei was angry. She didn't expect that a principal would act as a matchmaker. She said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to know anyone. I just want to study hard!" After that, she said she was leaving. Mr. Li said loudly to her, "Xiao Classmate Li, please stay. I am not as bad as you think. Your father and brother left some things for me and asked me to give them to you. Is it of any use to you?"

When Li Ximei heard this, she stopped. She knew that Mr. Li was the son of the deputy county magistrate. He was only 25 years old. He also hung out with Wu Sanhu and Liu Biao back then. She had seen him in Liu Biao's coal yard. She didn't expect that a few years ago No, he has grown into a handsome boy.

Mr. Li saw her stop and signaled the principal to go out. Li Ximei thought: He should not dare to be indecent to her in broad daylight. She wanted to know what her father and brother left for him before they died.

"What did my father leave for you?"

"I'm sorry, I lied to you. I just want you to give me a chance to talk to you... Don't be angry. Your father and brother did not die in the tunnel landslide, but..."

"What is it?"

"It's not convenient to talk now. I'll ask you to talk in detail another day, okay?"

"I won't be fooled by you!" She said and wanted to leave.

"You are so unfilial. You don't even want to know the truth about the death of your father and brother... Why didn't you bury your father and brother's cotton-padded jackets open? The truth is under their cotton-padded jackets... I stole this." Only I know what I heard, and now that I have fallen out with them, I want to tell you the truth."
