"Of course, of course, please come with me, but I'm afraid it's a long way." Zha Xifeng said hurriedly.

"I have plenty of time anyway"

Wei Ran spread his hands pretending to be helpless, "I guess I won't be able to go anywhere until that strong man comes back."

Zha Xifeng smiled, but did not dare to continue the topic at all. He just followed the topic and introduced, "This three-way mountain cave connects three villages in total. The village where we just got off the bus is where I grew up.

Now it’s called Dongfeng Mine Clearance School.”

After a pause, Zha Xifeng pointed in the direction of the coffin of Squad Leader Knife, "That direction leads to the nature reserve that I established in cooperation with the local area. When my adoptive father was alive, he lived in a village there. I was the same at that time.

He was rescued after being placed by a well in that village."

After finishing speaking, Zha Xifeng pointed in front of the two of them and said, "Going out from here, there are three nearest villages. One of them used to be called Ganzhu Village. All the villagers in that village have moved away. It was also where my adoptive father used to go when he was alive.

Places to go."

"In this case, let's go to Ganzhu Village to look for it." Wei Ran made a noncommittal decision.

Zha Xifeng naturally had no objection, and enthusiastically led Wei Ran forward, and finally drilled out a similarly locked cave.

"This is where the demining school exams are held and where explosives are destroyed intensively."

Zha Xifeng raised her hand and pointed to the valley in the distance and said, "When my adoptive father and I were learning to clear mines, we always sent those dangerous explosives to the valley to detonate, and a pond was blown up there."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before he finished speaking, Zha Xifeng had already led him to the door of a three-story concrete building at the foot of the mountain. He knew the way and asked the person on duty to pick up the door.

I took the key and drove a capital jeep produced in China, driving along the cement road sandwiched by paddy fields with the gas.

Along the way, while Zha Xifeng was introducing the situation along the way, Wei Ran had already taken out his tablet computer from his bag and opened the satellite map.

As expected, although the coordinates at this moment almost coincide with the coordinates provided by the metal book, in fact after zooming in again and again, there is still a straight line distance of five or six kilometers between the two sides.

“This is Ganzhu Village”

When the car stopped, Zha Xifeng pointed to a small village surrounded by paddy fields and said, "Before, there were only 17 households in total, but they have all moved away. Those houses are small museums of the demining school, which mainly exhibit various landmines.

In addition, when my adoptive father was alive, he would come here almost every month and stay in the mountains behind this village for several days.

As far as I know, in 1984, this village rescued a white man, but he did not survive and instead killed their village chief."

"What happened next?" Wei Ran asked.

"The white man was later buried in the hill behind the village."

Zha Xifeng explained, "People in this village were afraid of causing trouble, so they didn't dare to talk about what happened that year. The reason why I knew about it was because I only asked the villagers after my adoptive father passed away.

I suspect it has something to do with my adoptive father. After all, when he captured me, he also captured a commander. Although I couldn't see him because I was blindfolded, based on my speculation, it should be the same person."

"What else did you ask?" Wei Ran asked noncommittally.

"The location where the villagers found the white man," Zha Xifeng raised her finger and pointed in the direction, "is also the location where my adoptive father often goes."

Without rushing to respond to the other party, Weiran continued to zoom in on the satellite map and carefully observed the situation in the mountains behind the village.

"Is there a minefield there?" Wei Ran asked without raising his head.

"They have been cleared over the years," Zha Xifeng replied confidently.

"In that case, I want to go visit the back mountain." Wei Ran said and extended the invitation, "Do you want to come with me?"

"certainly"

Zha Xifeng readily agreed, then took a shotgun and a troubleshooting knife from the trunk of the jeep, and walked at the front without hesitation.

Under his leadership, the two climbed along the mountain path first to the top of the mountain, and then came to the valley of the back mountain.

This valley is densely covered with large and small rocks, and there are still dry water lines and moss on the rocks. Obviously, this place is often flooded.

"This is the channel for mountain torrents to flow away."

Zha Xifeng raised her hand and pointed downstream and said, "There, the mountain torrents will merge into a river."

I took out the GPS and took a look. It was still three or four kilometers away from the coordinates provided by the metal book, and the coordinate point provided by the metal book was obviously further upstream.

"I remember you once told me that your adoptive father rescued you from a minefield?"

After some thought, Wei Ran guided the topic, "Where is that minefield?"

"That direction?" Zha Xifeng replied, pointing in the upstream direction.

"How long will it take us to walk along the valley?" Wei Ran said this, but he had already taken steps in the direction pointed by the other party.

“It’s very far. If you go over the mountain, you need to climb three mountains.”

Zha Xifeng, who was no longer young anymore, followed Wei Ran and introduced, "In addition, judging from the weather, there will definitely be heavy rain in the afternoon. We might as well go back first, at least prepare some supplies, and find some helpers before going in."

"How about I trouble you to arrange these?"

Wei Ran said as he walked, "I'm going to walk upstream along this valley."

"Do you suspect that my adoptive father's comrades are in this valley?"

Zha Xifeng shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. I have walked along this valley with my adoptive father countless times. We have climbed over almost every stone."

"Since we've walked it so many times, Comrade Cha will definitely not mind walking it again, right?" Wei Ran didn't stop at all as he spoke.

"I'll arrange the manpower right now"

Before Zha Xifeng finished speaking, he had already taken out the satellite phone and dialed. Upon seeing this, Wei Ran also took out the insect repellent potion he had prepared in advance and sprayed it all over his body, then lit up a red pagoda mountain and sucked it fiercely.

After taking two puffs, he used a scarlet cigarette butt to burn the locusts that had just appeared on his arm.

"Do you also like to smoke this kind of cigarette?" Zha Xifeng asked curiously after hanging up the phone, "I knew it was Hongtashan just by smelling it."

"You like it too?"

"My adoptive father likes it"

Zha Xifeng walked in front of Wei Ran and recalled while leading the way, "He was very addicted to cigarettes, but he didn't smoke often. When he wanted to smoke, he would smoke more than a pack a day. At that time, he would also drink and smoke.

Whether you drink Erguotou or Xifeng wine produced in China, it all depends on how much money you have."

"Want one?" Wei Ran said, having already handed over the cigarette case.

"Thanks"

Zha Xifeng took the cigarette box, took out one and lit it skillfully. After returning the cigarette box to Wei Ran, she continued to recall every moment between him and his adoptive father, Captain Dao.

"Boom!"

Just when there was a muffled thunder above the head, a group of young men also chased behind them.

These young men have dark skin and are generally short in stature. They all wear lightweight clothing and quick-drying clothes, and without exception, they all wear a double-sided camouflage benny hat.

"headmaster!"

The leading young man put down what he and his companions were carrying on bamboo poles, raised his chest and raised his head, saluted, and said in Vietnamese, "Report from Dongfeng Class 1!"

"Find a camp," Zha Xifeng said casually, "The flash flood is coming soon."

"yes!"

The young man, who looked to be in his early 20s, saluted again, and then called on the young men behind him to continue carrying supplies in pairs on bamboo poles and run halfway up the mountainside on the side of the valley.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let's go there too," Zha Xifeng said in Chinese, "The flash flood will arrive in at most 10 minutes."

"Are these your students?" Wei Ran asked with interest, "They look more like soldiers."

"They are all orphans created by bombs left on the battlefield."

Zha Xifeng paused and added, "Like me, they are all war orphans, so I adopted them and let them learn demining. With the skills of demining, it will be harder to leave and go to live in a better place, or,

Or die in a minefield, either way, it’s a good ending.”

"The harder it is to leave? I thought..."

"As early as the first meeting, I said that I never considered myself Vietnamese."

Zha Xifeng walked halfway up the mountain and said mockingly, "After my adoptive father passed away, I don't even know where I belong, do you know?"

"I have no idea"

Wei Ran shook his head. Although this American-Vietnamese, maybe even Asian-American and Yue people were raised in Yue, the person who raised him was a Chinese veteran.

Indeed, as he said, after his adoptive father, Captain Dao, passed away, he had no idea where he was from, just like... like duckweed without roots. For the rest of his life, his only sustenance was

On his head was a Benny hat with a large five-leaf camouflage pattern pointing upward and a tiger-spot camouflage interior.

After a brief silence, the roar of the chain saw reached the ears of the two people. Soon, a tropical tree halfway up the mountain was sawed off by the demining students, and it took only a very short time to sort out a piece of enough

The camp where more than ten of them rested, they also did not forget to sprinkle powder to repel snakes and insects around the camp, and dug vital drainage ditches.

When Wei Ran and Zha Xifeng arrived in the gradually falling raindrops, these young men had already quickly set up three tents of different sizes, as well as a large and conspicuous tent.

It makes people wonder if there is some nylon cloth canopy of a new type of aircraft hidden underneath.

At this time, these young men are working together under the sky to dig out a smoke-dispersing stove - a Chinese-style smoke-dispersing stove. There is even a Chinese-style marching pot on the stove.

"Crack!"

Another muffled thunder exploded overhead, and raging rain poured down in the blink of an eye. In the valley where they had just stayed, a muddy flash flood mixed with various floating objects appeared in a very short period of time.
