"King Wei, the air you mentioned seems to be getting less and less."
Under the mine, a guard beside Li Tai spoke.
Although he didn't know what air was, he could feel that it was getting harder to breathe.
According to Li Tai, there is something called air surrounding them all the time, but now that they are trapped here, the amount of air has become a certain amount.
And since everyone is breathing, the more they use, the less they use.
"Why don't you let me..." He put his hands on his waist and asked Li Tai in a low voice.
Li Tai was so smart, he knew what he meant right away, because in addition to him and the guards, there were seven or eight miners trapped here.
"Bastard! Don't forget what my father said. The people are the most important and the king is the most important. Even my father puts the people first. Do you think this king can make an exception? If my Li family is not only unable to protect the people, but also relies on If you sacrifice them to save yourself, then the Li family will also lose the right to rule the Tang Dynasty!"
"So don't talk about this again!"
He also knew that his guard was loyal and willing to risk his life for him, and he also put his own life first, so he didn't criticize him too much.
"My cousin has arrived. I believe he can rescue us soon."
After confirmation by the person in charge of the mining area, there was indeed a mine at the location pointed by Tang Ping, so Li Tai was probably down there.
"Li Tai, hold on, we have found your location."
Tang Ping comforted him like this, but after finding the other party's location, he still didn't know how long it would take to rescue him.
The most important thing now is to send air, food and water to Li Tai and others.
"Where are the equipment for drilling wells? Drill a hole from here first."
Large-scale groundbreaking may cause new collapse below, but we can't do nothing now, so it is safest to dig a small hole first.
At that time, there was a severe drought. The drilling method invented by Tang Ping has now become popular. Water wells were also drilled in the mountains in the mining area here, and the equipment was all ready-made.
Someone quickly moved over and connected the steam engine brought by Tang Ping.
With a whirring sound, the steam engine began to make a sound, and then the upper connecting rod drove the well-drilling machine to start drilling downward.
At this time, I could only wait with peace of mind. Although Li Tai's voice was a little weak, it was still stable.
But according to him, there was a guard and a miner who were in very bad condition.
The guard was seriously injured trying to save him. Although he had tried his best to stop the bleeding, he was now in a coma with fever and other symptoms.
In Tang Ping's eyes, although Li Tai was important, he valued the lives of the guards and miners equally. At this time, he could only describe his mood as anxious.
"Cousin, I think I heard a voice!" Li Tai's slightly excited voice came from the phone.
"Stay away a little and put something over your head. If there is nothing, put your hands on your head."
Li Tai nodded under the well, looked at the people around him and said: "Ping Guo Gong has found us. Now he will make a small hole in our heads and bring food and drink down. Everyone, don't worry, Ping Guo Gong has found us." He will definitely save us."
"Now everyone is looking for something to block their heads. If there is nothing, they use their hands to block it, so that when the hole is drilled, there may be mud and rocks falling down."
Everyone else followed suit, and the air down there became thinner and thinner. Now that they heard there was hope, many people felt it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe when they were excited.
At this time, they could all feel a slight vibration.
But because of the lack of oxygen, everyone was a little dizzy. At this moment, there was a clanging sound, and a large piece of earth and stone fell down.
They faintly heard the roar of getting through.
Li Tai cheered up and said to his watch: "Cousin, it's successful. It's been opened."
"Well, wait a minute." Tang Ping waved his hand: "Quickly, stretch out these two tubes."
The two bundles of hoses he brought from the warehouse were carried over by Lao Cui and Lao Du at this time, and they stretched into the small hole dug out.
"Li Tai, I put two pipes, you take turns using that pipe to inhale." There is no way, there is no gas transmission equipment here, although the hole has been drilled, but it has to rely on this hole with a diameter of only more than 20 centimeters. It was still difficult to get the air from the ground in, so Tang Ping had no choice but to use this stupid method.
An almost invisible light has penetrated into the hole below, but two pipes can already be vaguely seen extending in.
Li Tai's guard pulled one with all his strength and handed it to Li Tai's mouth.
Li Tai said to everyone: "Take two puffs each! Take turns!"
He picked up the tube and put it to his mouth, sucked hard, and felt that his whole lungs seemed to come alive. He took another greedy breath, and then handed the tube to the guard beside him.
In this way, everyone gathered around this small opening and kept breathing greedily. They had never felt that breathing was so pleasant as they did now.
"Cousin, it's much better!" Gradually, the conditions of the people down the mine improved a lot.
"Okay, I've prepared food and drinks for everyone here. You haven't eaten for too long, so don't eat too much at one time, just small amounts and often."
Bags of things were hung on a rope and put down. The food was mainly high-calorie foods such as chocolate, and the water was salt water that Tang Ping asked people to boil, which was put in mineral water bottles.
In addition, they also gave some anti-inflammatory drugs and the like. After eating and drinking, the people in the mine began to improve.
Tang Ping and the others also determined the rescue plan, which was to dig about thirty meters horizontally from a nearby mine to connect to the tunnel where Li Tai and the others were now.
It's just that this time will probably take more than a day.
"Quick, quick, everything is moving. Then go to the county to find someone. Be sure to pay attention to safety and prepare the supports while digging!"
The county magistrate and the person in charge of the mining area began to give crazy orders. At this time, they all saw hope. As long as they could rescue Li Tai safely, at least they would not receive too much blame.
You know, the county magistrate was fine, but the person in charge of the mining area almost planned to hang himself at that time.
"Cousin, I really want to eat the braised pork made by Xiao Luo."
Tang Ping felt relieved when he heard that Li Tai could even joke: "Okay, after I come out, I'll ask Xiaoluo to do it for you every day."
"Yes, yes, not only will I cook braised pork for you, but Uncle San can also get you whatever you want to eat!" Li Yuanji also chimed in.
