Then Yuan Muye and the others drove forward for more than an hour before they began to see some shadows of coal mines back then, such as those old-fashioned telephone poles that were no longer powered and some slogans for safe production of coal mines...

At this time, Yuan Muye slowed down his car and looked carefully at the scenery on both sides of the road... Although this road has been abandoned for twenty years, Yuan Muye could still see some residual coal blocks on the side of the road. I believe that the scale of the Maoshan coal mine back then should not be too small.

Just as Yuan Muye drove around a forest, an extremely old building appeared in front of them. It must have been the living area of ​​the coal mine back then. However, Yuan Muye didn't expect it to be so big! From a distance, it looked like a miniature town hidden in the deep mountains.

"This is... the staff dormitory of the coal mine back then?" Zeng Nannan also said in surprise.

Yuan Muye parked his car in an open space at this time, then got out of the car and looked around at the rows of abandoned bungalows and extremely depressed streets. He said, "It should be, it must be. I guess this place was also a very lively place back then, and the coal miners worked hard every day."

After the two of them watched the stand for a while, Yuan Muye whispered to Zeng Nannan, "Let's go... This is a living area, and there should be no collapse. Let's go in and have a look."

Then the two brought some essential items and walked towards the abandoned staff dormitory... In the middle, they also saw some video halls that only appeared in the 1990s, hair washing rooms and even staff bathrooms.

In Yuan Muye's opinion, if the locals wouldn't come up like the driver said, then these houses should have been idle for at least twenty years! But along the way, they found that the road under their feet was not like no one had walked for many years. On the contrary, it seemed that people often cleaned it.

"The streets here are very clean!" Zeng Nannan said as she walked.

Yuan Muye couldn't help but wonder in his heart that this was indeed a bit abnormal. Could it be that there were still people living here? Just when the two of them were a little confused, they saw smoke rising from a bungalow not far away.

Yuan Muye and Zeng Nannan looked at each other. Sure enough, there are still people living here... But who would live in such an abandoned mining area? Thinking of this, Yuan Muye turned around and told Zeng Nannan, "The situation here is unknown, you should be more careful."

Zeng Nannan heard this and snorted, "Everyone..."

As a result, when they approached, they saw a few chickens walking leisurely on the grass in front of them, and a big yellow dog was lying at the door of the yard. When they saw them, they immediately barked.

Then an old lady in her sixties walked out of the bungalow where the smoke was rising. She was wearing an apron and a green onion in her hand. It was probably because of cooking.

The old lady was also quite surprised when she saw Yuan Muye and the others. She was stunned for a while before asking suspiciously, "Who are you? Why did you come here!"

Yuan Muye immediately smiled and said, "Auntie, we are tourists. I heard that there was an abandoned coal mine here many years ago, so we wanted to come and have a look..."

After hearing this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No wonder... you came from another place, don't go forward any longer. There are many landslides in the mountains ahead, and even if you fall in, the mountain god will not be able to save it."

After hearing this, Yuan Muye quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you, aunt. We just heard that the scenery here is good, so we want to come and take a few photos... Auntie, are you living here alone?"

When the old lady heard his question, her expression suddenly became a little strange. She was about to say something but was interrupted by a hoarse voice, "Cook quickly! Why are you blinded with outsiders?!"

Before he finished speaking, an old man with dark skin and gully face walked out of the door behind the old lady, looking at Yuan Muye and the others with unfriendly eyes.

Yuan Muye was stunned, and then he smiled awkwardly, "Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you. My girlfriend and I are tourists from other places. I heard that the photos here are very beautiful, so I rushed over."

After hearing this, the old man looked at Yuan Muye and the others for a few glances, and said coldly, "What are the good scenery for a broken coal mine that has been closed?! You can go down quickly! No outsiders are allowed to come here!"

Yuan Muye pretended to be surprised and said, "No! The owner of the B&B we lived in before said that we could come up here to take photos!"

"That's what they said to attract customers! You guys leave here quickly!" the old man said impatiently.

Yuan Muye and the others finally came up, of course they could not be sent directly by the old man in a few words, so he said patiently, "Uncle, we really didn't know the situation, so we came up rashly, but you see, it's getting late now. If we drive now, it will be dark after half a day. Wouldn't that be even more dangerous? Look, this is good, I think there are a lot of empty houses here, can my girlfriend and I stay here for one night? We will leave early tomorrow morning... We have everything in our car, just borrow a room! We can pay you the room!"

It seemed that when Yuan Muye heard the word "house money", the old man's face eased a little, so he sighed, "You young people are really good at making trouble and dare to go to any place! Yuanmao Mountain was almost hollowed out because of coal mining. Several mountain torrents have been issued over the years, and many landslides have been destroyed in the mountains. People who don't know the situation will fall into those holes if they go up!"

"You are right. We really have met you old couple!" Yuan Muye said with gratitude.

Then the old man took Yuan Muye and the others back to the house, "You sit in the house and rest for a while, and wait until my old woman cleans up the empty house for you, and you can go there."

After saying that, the old man turned around and went out. Yuan Muye thanked him and then sat on the kang in the room, carefully observing the situation in the room... It is no exaggeration to say that the life of the old couple seemed to be still in the last century. The only household appliance in the room was actually a semiconductor radio.

At this time, Zeng Nannan pointed to a kerosene lamp and said, "It seems that there is no electricity here..."
