Special Years

Chapter 623: Minesweeper Tradition

The truck started to back up and didn't stop until it was in front of the cooking class.

Director Sun Wei beckoned to the class who came to help: "Come here, help get things into the car and set off."

Watching the soldiers from Class 1 take out generations of rice and a can of sour oil from the granary of the cooking class, Zhuang, who was in the revolutionary ranks, seemed to see the clue.

"Boss, who are you going to send this to?"

Luo Xing nodded: "Yes, I'll take you to see some people later. Maybe after reading it, you will have a deeper understanding of our mine-sweeping unit."

A deeper understanding?

I stayed here for more than a month, getting along with the brothers of the demining troops day and night, eating the same pot of rice, drinking the same pot of soup, spooning vegetables in the same vegetable bowl, going to the minefield together, and fighting the thunder demons together. Don't understand?

With doubts, Zhuang Yan followed Luo Xing into the car.

The truck went around the road for a while, and the road became more and more remote. After driving for about half an hour, it turned into a village and stopped in front of a dilapidated bungalow.

"It's here, it's here!"

Jumping out of the car solemnly, the first thing that catches the eye is the "bungalow" in front of him.

The structure of the bungalow is very strange.

One side is made of bricks, and the other is a house made of mud bricks made of yellow mud from the ground patted in the mold, mixed with dry grass or dried straw and placed in the sun to dry.

"What place is this?" asked Luo Xing solemnly.

"The home of a local woman maimed by a landmine," said Luo Xing.

"Oh……"

Only then did Zhuang Yan realize that he vaguely guessed correctly before.

It is indeed the Spring Festival condolences.

It's just that in general, the troops are being consoled, but here they go down to console others.

"Huang Lan!"

The secretary stood at the door and called a few times into the house.

No one answered.

"It's probably in the ground, let's look for it." Lian Yue, who was standing beside him, seemed to be very familiar with the situation here.

The two soldiers headed towards Tianba behind the house. After a while, they brought back a local woman.

Looking at it solemnly, my heart skipped a beat.

I thought that the mine was blown up, and the disabled must be disabled, but I didn't expect that Huang Lan's two legs...

gone.

Huang Lan was less than three feet tall, with two hands supporting a small bench on one side, just supporting the half of the stump.

To be precise, she is not called walking, but moving.

Alternately, support back and forth on two small benches, replace two feet with your hands, and move forward.

The solemn heart suddenly became a little heavy.

Luo Xing whispered: "She is only 36 years old, and she has a stubborn personality. When she was 18 years old, she went to the ground to hunt hogweed, and stepped on the thunder in front of the boundary monument, and both legs were blown up. It was originally just an amputation below the knee, but the traffic here is Too bad, it was difficult to even find a car back then, and when the car arrived, I was sent to the hospital, my legs were infected, and I had to amputate at a high position, and people became like this."

He pointed to the valley behind the house.

"In this way, she has also planted two acres of corn. Now the government subsidizes her 100 yuan per month and bought her a hand-cranked sewing machine. Although life is still tight, at least there is no problem in ensuring food and clothing. "

The older Bing and Huang Lan seem to be acquaintances.

When Huang Lan saw these soldiers, a smile was on her face, who looked much older than her peers because of the hard life. She grabbed Lian Yue and Sun Wei's hands, and insisted on asking them to go in and sit.

"Don't sit! There are a few more to go, you know."

Even Yue's tone did not sound like Huang Lan was an outsider.

Huang Lan's face sank, and she was very unhappy and said a few local words that solemnly did not understand.

Solemnly asked Luo Xing, "What did she say?"

Luo Xing said: "She said she wanted to keep us for dinner..."

"Eat?" Zhuang Yan glanced around, there were more than a dozen people in total, and it was a little unrealistic to eat at Huang Lan's house.

Lian Yue was polite for a few times, and then asked Huang Lan's recent living conditions, whether the subsidies were paid on time, etc. After getting a positive reply, he said goodbye and got on the bus.

When the car drove away, he sat solemnly at the back of the car, leaning against the fender, and saw Huang Lan moving from the front of his small yard to the road, "standing" there, with his hands on the ground, watching the military vehicle go away. .

When the corner was turned, Zhuang Yan could no longer see Huang Lan, nor could Huang Lan see the military vehicle.

Only then did Zhuang Yan turn his head and let out a soft sigh.

The second household was an old man and his son.

The old man is not disabled, the son is disabled.

The old man's name is Feng Deyun, and his son's name is Feng Sheng.

When they arrived, the old man was smoking a hookah in the yard.

It is made of a piece of bamboo, with a copper pipe inserted, water is poured into it, two holes are drilled, and when smoking, a loose shredded tobacco is pressed on the copper pipe, and then tapped with a lighter. Draw on top of the bamboo tube.

A closer look shows that the copper tube on the bamboo tube is not a copper tube, but a modified bullet casing, with the primer removed, it is a copper tube.

Solemnly asked Luo Xing, "Where did he get the shells?"

Luo Xing looked at the solemn and said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't know the border. How tragic was the battle here? How much ammunition was left? Bullet casings? Some still picked up live ammunition in the wild. Border residents have no safety awareness, so accidents are easy to happen.”

"When I first came to the demining team, I heard from the veterans that some of the villagers here did not dig mines for money, but buried them next to their crops to prevent thieves. As a result, some people buried them themselves and forgot to tell them. Family members, and they blew up their own people..."

"Anti-thief?" Zhuang Yan couldn't believe his ears.

Landmines are dangerous things, use them to prevent thieves?

Who wins and who loses?

Isn't this crazy?

"Worth it?" he asked Luo Xing with a frown.

Luo Xing said: "Solemnly, some parts of our country are still very poor. You are a city soldier and you don't understand. Here, food is life. If a thief steals, the family will starve. In the end, you are still poor."

Zhuang Yan nodded and seemed to understand, but did not speak.

Luo Xing asked him to see the "most important thing" of the demining team. What is the most important thing?

See these frontier people injured by lightning?

He is thinking about this.

After a while, Feng Sheng came back.

Looking at it solemnly, this kid is handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, decent facial features, and a talent.

But his eyes moved down, and regrettably saw a foot.

The other one is gone...

Luo Xing whispered again: "Feng Sheng, this young man, he is very talented. Before blowing his leg, he played basketball, danced, and sang. He was very active, but when he exploded, everything was gone."

He pointed to ~www.novelmt.com~ and pointed into the distance.

"It was bombed over there. A month after he was bombed, we just came here to clean up the minefield. If it had been a month earlier..."

Speaking of this, he also smiled helplessly, unable to continue.

It took a long time to say: "So the captain feels that we have a sense of guilt towards the old Feng family. During the festivals, the captain will come to see and send some rice and oil. To be honest..."

Luo Xing sighed.

"I knew about this back then, and I didn't fall asleep all night, just one month, one month, a person's life changed..."
