The sky gradually darkened, and the rain stopped, but the sky was still very gloomy, and the light became very poor early in the morning.
At this time, a light went up in front of the fire brigade.
Unlike ordinary lights, the light of this light was not dazzling. It was softer, cooler, but particularly penetrating. It could illuminate a wide range, like moonlight.
This was called a moon light, a common piece of equipment used by rescue teams. It was supported by up to 2,000 watts of electricity, and two moon lights could illuminate a football field.
Under the illumination of the light, Marcos was finally fished out unscathed.
He was in much better condition than Aubrey. After coming up, he adapted to the environment and was able to stand up on his own.
The nurse wanted to help him onto the stretcher, but he refused. He looked back at Li Du, held out his hand, and said, "I knew it was you, Li. You are a good guy!"
Several miners were nearby, and when they heard Marcos say this, they lifted Li Du together, and then two big men put him on their shoulders.
Marcos turned his head and looked around, pointed to Li Du, and said, "This China guy saved me and Aubrey. Of course, we were rescued by the rescue team. But at first, he was in charge of everything. He stabilized me and Aubrey, and gave us hope … "
At this time, many miners and mine owners had appeared at the Randy mine. They had come after hearing the news, not to watch the fun, but to sincerely help.
Mining was inevitably dangerous. Working together and helping each other was the way to survive.
They had heard about what Li Du had done before, so when they saw Li Du being lifted up, they cheered.
"Li, well done. You are really a good guy!"
"It's like God himself. No one can do better than you!"
"I hope I have the honor to be friends with you, man. You have earned our respect!"
Li Du smiled and said, "It's just what I should do. No matter who encountered this kind of thing, I believe he would have made the same choice as me, and probably done better than me!"
"Not better than you," a firefighter said.
Later, when they learned about what Li Du had done and learned that he had completed the search and rescue work without the help of machines and had successfully delivered milk and oxygen, they were all deeply impressed by him.
Marcos and Aubrey were sent to the hospital. Li Du returned to his mine to take a day off. It was already midnight, and after a tiring day, he needed a good rest.
When he woke up the next day, he saw the bald miner, Holiday, squatting in the yard playing with Ah Ow and the others.
Ah Ow and the others looked at him as if he was an idiot and did not accept his teasing at all. As soon as Li Du stepped out of the door, they immediately wagged their tails and ran over.
Holiday stood up and said, "Li, hello."
Li Du asked, "Hello, buddy, what's up?"
Holiday took out an envelope, handed it to him, and said, "This is what Boss Marcus asked me to give you. It's an invitation. I hope you can attend our party."
Li Du laughed. "Marcos is still in the hospital, right? He's already planning a party? "
Holiday smiled and replied, "The party is on the weekend. He can be discharged today. He is fine. After the examination, everything is normal. Aubrey has to stay in the hospital for a few days."
Inside the envelope was a bright yellow piece of paper, on which was written the time and place of the party, and an invitation to Li Du to attend.
Li Du put away the envelope and said, "You go back and tell Marcos that I will be there."
Holiday saluted him and whistled at the four little ones. Seeing that they ignored him, he laughed and called them "little bitches" and left the mine.
After the rain, the weather cleared up, and good weather finally came.
Li Du was not in a hurry to go down to reclaim the mine. With Marcos as a lesson, he first spent a day reinforcing the mine with wooden and iron frames.
The fire brigade conducted an investigation. The reason why Marcos's mine collapsed was mainly because there was a problem with the geology on their side, which was a karst area.
This kind of geology was a soluble rock formation, which was eroded by groundwater to form countless small karst caves. When the cave body expanded or under the influence of natural or man-made factors, the roof would collapse or sink.
Among them, the causes of collapse were usually related to changes in the water level, such as heavy rain or rainfall after a long period of drought, and the infiltration of surface water.
The collapse of Marcos's mine was caused by the impact of heavy rain and the infiltration of surface water, so Li Du had to take precautions.
After taking precautions, they went back to the mine to dig for gems. Pieces of raw black opal were carefully collected and stored in the little bug's black hole.
By the weekend, when the gem vein had been dug clean, Li Du took a few people to the Earth Star Bar, where the party would be held.
In the evening, they pushed open the door of the bar and went in. Some miners had already arrived, and when they saw them, the miners suddenly cheered, "Welcome, our hero!"
Someone reached out to Li Du. Li Du high-fived them and laughed. "Am I the captain of the American team?"
"No, it's the Australian miner."
"What should we call it? Miner Man or Pickaxe Man? Or Gem Man? "
"Here's your drink, Li. Just say what you want."
Several stout miners pushed through the crowd and came out. These men were burly and conspicuous among the miners, who were known for their strength.
The leader was Aubrey, who had a neck guard around his neck, his left arm hanging in front of his chest, and his right arm holding a bottle of wine. He looked very rough.
Striding up to Li Du, Aubrey blushed and said, "Li, I apologize first for provoking you here last time."
Li Du smiled and said, "Then you told me about Blanchett. We're even. You don't have to apologize for this."
Aubrey was a stubborn Russian man, and Li Du's words did not bother him. He said, "No, I have to apologize. I was stupid at the time."
Holiday and the others behind him nodded and said, "Yes, we were all stupid, and we all have to apologize to you."
Marcos, who came over, said, "Li, accept their apology. These idiots should apologize for the stupid things they have done."
Li Du said, "Well, I accept your apology. We are friends."
He raised his glass and said, "To friendship."
A group of miners raised their glasses and shouted, "To friendship."
Aubrey drank a bottle of beer directly. He took another bottle and said, "Now I want to thank you, Boss Li. You saved my life. I must pay tribute to you!"
Marcos also took a bottle of beer and said to Li Du with a smile, "And me. This time, it's the two of us who thank you. You did a great thing. You saved us!"
