Some specialties in southern Yunnan Province are famous, such as tea there, and walnuts there.

​​

Needless to say, tea is well-known all over the country. The tea made by people in the mountains is not so carefully crafted, and what you drink is the original and natural taste.

​​

As for walnuts, the walnuts over there are also called iron walnuts. People called it "long live" or "longevity fruit" a long time ago. It is said to have the effects of invigorating the brain, invigorating the body, nourishing the intestines and moistening the lungs, and prolonging life.

​​

Lao Wangtou's house is no exception. People in the mountains don't have many treasures, so they can't live without these two things they grow.

​​

Sitting down at the simple homemade coffee table, and pulling a few words, the old man poured a bowl of tea for each officer enthusiastically.

​​

Drinking this crude and unrefined tea, the sweet taste in the throat is particularly impressive.

​​

"Sit down first, I'll get you something to eat!" Old Wangtou couldn't be more enthusiastic. Back then, during the border rounds, he was an activist in front of the branch.

​​

This is how many years I haven't seen a person wearing a military uniform. Old Wang's head feels extraordinarily cordial, and everyone seems to be twenty years younger.

​​

"You're welcome, old man..."

​​

"Yes, yes, it's good to drink tea, let's just chat casually..."

​​

Everyone felt very embarrassed.

​​

After all, they are soldiers of the people. There is a saying in the old tradition that "don't take a single needle from the masses". Although this is not something to be taken at home, it is very embarrassing to cause trouble to the fellows, especially the frontier people here are still very poor.

​​

"You're welcome! You're welcome! I fought side by side with your troops back then! I look happy when you come!"

​​

The old king waved his hand decisively and non-negotiably, and walked into the small room next to him.

​​

The three had to sit down.

​​

Lian Yue said, "Director, put twenty dollars under the table."

​​

Director Sun Wei said stunned, "This is..."

​​

Lian Yue said, "If you want to press it, press it, hurry up!"

​​

It's like giving an order.

​​

Sun Wei immediately woke up, reached into his pocket, took out two ten-yuan bills, then bent down to look left and right, and finally saw that there was a partition under this homemade coffee table, so he folded the bills. I want to put it up.

​​

"Are you afraid he won't be able to see?"

​​

Sun Wei hesitated.

​​

Put it in an obvious place, you can see it at a glance, put it in an inconspicuous place, if you can't see it, don't say it, it will be a waste if it is dragged by a mouse to make a nest.

​​

While hesitating, Old Wang's head came out of the room.

​​

Sun Wei hurriedly retracted his hand, holding the money in his palm, for fear that Old Wangtou would make excuses when he saw it, which would be too troublesome.

​​

Old Wang glanced at the three people sitting by the coffee table, and came over with a small basket in his hand.

​​

"Taste the walnuts from our mountains."

​​

Lian Yue glanced at the small bamboo basket he made up by himself.

​​

Inside lay a pile of iron walnuts.

​​

"The walnuts we have here are delicious..."

​​

As Old Wangtou spoke, he picked out a large walnut, placed it on a piece of bluestone beside the coffee table, and stretched out his hand to take it out of his pocket.

​​

Actually, the three of Lian Yue had been drinking tea before.

​​

After all, after walking on the mountain road for so long, I just entered the village and started wandering without a drink. I was already a little thirsty.

​​

I can't say how rich the tea in the mountains is, but it definitely quenches thirst.

​​

So the three of them enjoyed the drink, and they all focused on the tea.

​​

​​

Pharaoh's head smashed walnuts seriously.

​​

The first person who noticed something was wrong was Sun Wei, the head of the department. He had been thinking about how to put the money down. At this moment, Old Wang smashed a walnut on his head, which was a chance for him.

​​

He wanted to see if Old Wangtou had noticed him. If he didn't notice him, he would put the money under the bamboo woven saucer first.

​​

Unexpectedly, when he looked sideways, he was shocked out of his body!

​​

"Grenade!"

​​

Sun Wei's exclamation caused Lian Yue, who was drinking tea, to spray directly on Yang Daxi's face.

​​

Almost at the same instant, the three of them felt that the camouflage caps on their heads were about to be knocked off by the out-of-body soul. At that moment, no matter what kind of demining veteran you were, the first reaction was "Fuck me!"

​​

The three bounced almost at the same time, and flashed out the door like arrows.

​​

"Pharaoh!"

​​

Hiding outside the door, Lian Yue shouted, "Put down that grenade! It will explode!"

​​

That's right, a Type 67 wooden-handled grenade is not a high-explosive material, but it exploded in the room, and at such a close distance, I'm afraid not one of the four would survive.

​​

How can you not be afraid! ?

​​

After so many years of dismantling Lei, he has already developed an extremely sensitive touch to explosives.

​​

It stands to reason that the grenade is an iron head, and it won't explode if you smash it, but the problem is that the grenade of Lao Wangtou is definitely not the kind of combat-ready material kept in a wooden box in a warehouse.

​​

That thing was definitely picked up from the wild, and it was definitely not well preserved.

​​

Once the wooden handle is corroded, it breaks when knocked...

​​

That's the same as pulling the ring of fire away from you...

​​

Are you afraid?

​​

Old Wangtou was not afraid at all. He looked at the door in surprise, and saw three anxious faces sticking out halfway beside the door.

​​

"What are you afraid of!? I usually knock like this, it's fine, I know what I can do! Back then, when I transported ammunition to the front-line troops, I touched more than chopsticks. I removed the fuse inside. If you don't believe me, look at it."

​​

Saying that, he raised the grenade and aimed its tail at the door.

​​

The three of them looked at it, and sure enough, the flash cap, the fire ring, and the fuse were all gone.

​​

"My God..."

​​

Lian Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

​​

……

​​

That day ~lightnovelpub.net~ Lian Yue's hometown was right.

​​

Later, from under the bed at Lao Wangtou's house, he found more than 20 anti-infantry mines and a dozen grenades. The most terrifying thing was that Lao Wangtou also had an anti-tank mine.

​​

Lao Wangtou put it on the kitchen floor, specially used to chop chicken food for chickens, cut pig grass to feed pigs...

​​

But one thing, these mines and grenades did defuse the fuses.

​​

Lian Yue asked for a long time why Lao Wangtou was so good that he could learn to defuse bombs without a teacher. He could only say that when Lao Wangtou was a former militiaman, he watched engineer mines more than once, and helped front-line troops transport more than once. Weapons and ammunition, see more, touch more, and then think about it yourself, you will become half a soil expert.

​​

Lian Yue was not at ease, so he went to the village party secretary and asked him to collect all the explosives in the whole village.

​​

In order to make everyone active and willing, Lian Yue asked the director to take out all the money in his pocket and buy it at the price of 1 yuan per mine and one grenade.

​​

In just two hours, there was an empty space under the big tree at the head of the village, and there was a small mountain...

​​

Back then, the frontier residents did dig mines by themselves and became a doctor after a long illness, but a lot of things happened, so this kind of thing is a bit dark and humorous. When I heard this story, my first reaction was to laugh. After laughing, it was a kind of A touch of sadness slowly crept into my heart.

​​

Fortunately, through the efforts of demining teams over the years, the border area has really improved a lot.
