"Is it worth it?"

Zhang Kun asked many souls who had helped these three words. Most souls would hesitate for a while or think for a while, but in the end they would still give the answer to the word "worthy".

Only Thunder Rain, almost without thinking, nodded with great certainty and said, "It's worth it!"

After Lei Yu finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Kun's slightly surprised look, thought about it and then talked about the reasons he thought were worth it.

As mentioned earlier, the formation of minefields on the Sino-Vietnam border is mainly due to historical factors. Because of the three major battles, there are nearly 11 million square meters of minefields on the Sino-Vietnam border.

What is this concept?

OK, this may not be clear enough, so let’s put it another way, because of the existence of minefields, the Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Nanyun Province alone has caused nearly 50,000 mu of arable land to be desolate.

And what does 50,000 acres of arable land represent?

Based on China's average grain output last year, if rice is grown, the average yield per mu can reach 417 kilograms. 50,000 mu, and a season of rice is 20 million kilograms.

Nanyun is also a tropical property of Xishuangbanna, and rice cultivation can be cooked three times a year. Therefore, the 50,000 mu of barren arable land in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Nanyun Province alone can cause 60 million kilograms of rice grain loss in a year.

This is just crop loss, and casualties.

From the record year, because of the minefields on the Sino-Vietnam border, from 1979 to 2003, there were 5,878 casualties in Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Nanyun Province alone, with an age from 8 to 84.

In 24 years, an average of 244 people were killed or killed by landmines every year, and an average of three people died every two days.

And this is just the next autonomous prefecture in Nanyun Province.

Lei Yu said the data one by one, but after that, looking at Zhang Kun still looking confused, Lei Yu thought about it and said.

"Zhang Kun, let's give me an example. I was born in Xiawenshan Autonomous Prefecture, Nanyun Province, Sharenzhai. When our village was the worst, the entire village had only 78 legs. Guess how many people were there in our village at that time?"

Zhang Kun was silent for a while, then thought about it and spit out a number: "78?"

The two of them had been talking about the minefield issue, but then Lei Yu suddenly mentioned his village and came to ask himself. I think he knew that Sharenzhai must have suffered from the minefield.

So, normally, 78 legs should have only 39 people, but Zhang Kun said the terrifying number 78.

However, Lei Yu shook his head at the two words Zhang Kun said.

"87 people." Lei Yu silently spit out the answer.

Zhang Kun was silent again.

A village with only 78 legs has 87 people, which means that on average, there is less than one leg on each person.

At the very least, there are definitely 9 people who have absolutely no legs.

Moreover, it is impossible for Sharenzhai to have legs all have one leg. Thunderstorm is healthy, otherwise it is impossible to recruit soldiers. And Sharenzhai to have only one person with two legs.

Then, when you say this, there are more people who have no legs, more than double digits.

Thinking of this result, Zhang Kun was really silent.

What do you want to say about the desolation of 50,000 acres of arable land, which damages more than 60 million kilograms of grain crops a year, and what about the past 24 years that more than 5,000 people have suffered casualties due to landmines in Wenshan Prefecture alone, and Zhang Kun has no big idea.

However, in a village, there are 87 people, but only 78 legs.

The scene of people gathering in Zhang Kun's mind suddenly appeared in his mind.

87 people stood together, and most of them stood on the ground with one foot, leaning on crutches, and then there were more than a dozen people, with no legs, either sitting directly on the ground or in a wheelchair, with only a few people standing with healthy legs.

This is Sharenzhai, a place that Zhang Kun has never been to before, but it has left a deep impression on Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun was silent.

"In addition to these reasons, there is another more important factor. Even if the minefield of 11 million square meters is covered with mines, it is also the land of our People's Republic of China."

"Since it is our land of the People's Republic of China, then we Chinese soldiers have the obligation and responsibility to ensure that no inch of land left with mines on our land must be 100% safe."

"We want to make sure that people living on this land cannot have a slight potential threat."

"This is a mission that Chinese soldiers must undertake. Even if they pay any price, there will be no compromise."

"So, even though you know the danger of mine clearance and you may have sacrificed, the mine clearance mission on the Sino-Vietnam border has been uninterrupted since 1992 and has been around for 17 years."

"It used to be, now is, and I believe that it will still be in the future until the last mine is eliminated, otherwise the mine-sweeping mission will not be over for a day."

Zhang Kun was silent for a long time, and it was not until the car slowly drove into the county town that Zhang Kun asked softly again.

"These are all about you as a Chinese soldier. So what about you personally? Do you regret it in your private identity?"

Lei Yu did not directly answer this, but instead talked about his family affairs.

"My father, when he was young, unfortunately touched a mine in the minefield and his right calf was completely blown away."

"My mother, when she was thirty, had her whole left leg exploded in one work."

"My brother, when he was twelve, accidentally approached the minefield, and then his legs were smashed, and he was finally rescued by chance. But since then, my brother has become taciturn."

"My brother was only twelve years old at that time, and he was still a teenager. Because of a landmine, his whole life was ruined."

"If you put it in martial arts novels and assume the minefield as one person, then the minefield is our family, an irreconcilable enemy. If the minefield is not removed for a day, I will not give up in one day."

"So, this is why you are still here?" Zhang Kun said.

Lei Yu nodded, but shook his head again.

"Yes, but not all, besides these, there are…."

However, when he said this, Thunder Rain paused, then fell silent. He turned his head and looked out the window, watching the scene flying out of the window.

What else? Lei Yu didn't continue talking about it, and Zhang Kun didn't ask again.

Since Lei Yu didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask.

The two of them fell silent one after another, and the conversation ended.
