Shi also watched Xiao Yue pretending, but did not expose him. He reached out and leaned on him.
Xiao Yue's body was stiff. He held her arm with one hand and put the other hand on her waist, and walked forward like a puppet. This extremely unnatural movement made Shi laugh. She turned to look at his flushed face and felt in her heart that he was really a pure man.
In her previous life, Xia Yun tried very hard and finally got together with Xiao Yue. Unfortunately, before she could do anything, Xiao Yue became lame and disfigured due to a mine-sweeping mission. Then his background was exposed. Xia Yun was disgusted with him and it hurt her heart.
At this time, Shi also put her arms around his waist, and Xiao Yue seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge from his cheeks to the corners of his eyes.
He didn't say anything, but his lips were tightly pursed, and he took each step almost at the same time.
"I just came to the Northwest. You hugged me that night, but I didn't see you so nervous. Now you are just hooking hands and pulling waists. Why are you so shy?" Shi also tilted his head to look at him, his tone a little strange and a little teasing.
Xiao Yue lowered his eyes and looked at her lively eyes and eyebrows. He felt his heart beating like thunder. He was at a loss and inexplicably nervous and expectant. This complex emotion was somewhat torturous. He simply ignored Shi Ye and just half-carried her as they walked towards the car.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Shi finally saw the military vehicle hidden in the valley by Xiao Yue.
"You hid really well." Shi was slightly surprised, but then he thought that Xiao Yue could detect her location in real time. This place was not far from the tunnel. He had to act cautiously. If he really drove there, he could be discovered by Pei Yingchun.
"It's better to be careful." Xiao Yue replied concisely, came to the front of the car, checked it around first, and opened the door when there was nothing unusual. He helped Shi Ye get in the car. He sat in the driving seat, started the car, and sped towards Yunling again.
"Yunling, what's it like?" Sitting in the car, Shi was afraid that Xiao Yue would feel sleepy, so he chatted with him about this and that.
Hearing this, Xiao Yue's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said calmly: "Yunling has a nickname, do you know what it is?"
Shiye paused, shook his head, looked at Xiao Yue's indifferent profile, and asked in confusion: "What?"
Xiao Yue chuckled and turned to meet Makiya's eyes, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes: "'Gate of Hell'."
As these three words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. Shi also held her breath for a long time before she frowned and said, "I have never asked, what is the mine-clearing mission? Is it landmines? But why are there landmines in Yunling?"
There was a cold gleam in Xiao Yue's narrow almond-shaped eyes, and his chest heaved, as if he was recalling things from his previous life. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and increased his speed, but he did not hide anything about Shi Ye's question.
Since she was going to Yunling as a military doctor, it would be better to let her know the dangers there in advance. Perhaps she would change her mind. In that case, he would also send her to the nearest town without hesitation and let her take the train to leave the northwest and return to Yandu.
Yandu is a safe place, which is where medical and technological talents like her should stay, instead of going to Yunling with him.
"Due to some historical war legacy, many borders are buried with millions of mines, which constantly threaten the safety of local people. Therefore, deminers are needed to carry out demining missions."
"In the Yunling border, the number of mines, grenades, and various explosives is extremely alarming."
"For local people, Yunling's hell is the 'gateway to hell'. Living there..."
"In my previous life, the Hurricane Battalion formed a mine-clearing team and went to Yunling to carry out mine-clearing missions. I was the only one who came back alive. Some of my comrades didn't even bring back their bodies. It took three months to clear a 5,000 square meter minefield. The task was arduous. Accidents are inevitable when clearing mines. Even before going to the minefield, every soldier would write a suicide note in advance."
Hearing this, Shiye's fingertips trembled slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yue with a somewhat difficult voice: "Including you?"
Xiao Yue smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes, that includes me."
"Every day when I came back alive from the minefield, I would add new content to the suicide note. By the time the mission was completed, there was already a thick stack of suicide notes. I just didn't expect that mine was the only one that failed to be delivered."
When he said the last sentence, Xiao Yue's voice even carried a hint of self-mockery and world-weariness. It was the pain of carrying out a mission with his comrades, but in the end he was the only one coming back alive. He would rather die with them in the minefield.
Shi also witnessed with his own eyes Xiao Yue standing in a dishevel on a high platform in the Northwest Frontier Defense Camp, with the bodies of his comrades below him. They went out together but could not come back together. The families of his comrades crowded around him and vented all their grief and pain on Xiao Yue, causing his already lame leg to be amputated, making him a real disabled man.
Shi also looked at Xiao Yue's profile, listening to his self-loathing words, his nose felt a little sour, and he reached out and covered his cold hand: "I have always wanted to ask you, in this life, you clearly have the opportunity to change all this, why..."
Why come here again? Even in a previous life, to perform minesweeping missions?
She didn't believe it because she was about to leave the northwest. Xiao Yue gave up on himself and wanted to take the Hurricane Camp to Yunling. He was not an impulsive person. He acted cautiously and methodically. He would not do this unless something unexpected happened in the camp.
"Becoming the head of the corps is even more of an obstacle. Instead of having to do what someone ordered, it's better to take the initiative. At least I can gain more, right? I once thought about leaving the northwest to avoid all this, but I found that I couldn't. If I left, I wouldn't have to go through all this again, but what about the Hurricane Battalion? Will they leave?"
"Even if they leave, someone will have to carry out the mine clearance mission at the Yunling border. What about them?"
"Defend the country, defend the people, fight bravely, fear no sacrifice, be loyal to duty, strictly observe discipline, obey orders, and resolutely complete the task. If we are gone, what will the people do? Will they continue to step on the landmines with their own bodies?"
"I used to feel resentment. I felt resentful about the injustice of the world. I felt resentful about why I had to go through all this in the Hurricane Camp. I felt resentful about Xia Yun's calculations. I felt resentful about everyone for giving up on me when I was in great pain. I felt resentful about a lot of things, but I am a soldier."
Shi was also stunned and looked at him.
At this moment, Xiao Yue was righteous and had an indescribable charm.
"Then aren't you afraid?" After hearing what he said, Shi also began to feel nervous. Although she had the support of the system and her medical skills were good, and she could even say that she could save the person as long as he was alive, she could not reattach his limbs.
Xiao Yue's lips curled up slightly, and he turned to look at Shi Ye: "If you are scared, just tell me, I will take you back now."
Shiye frowned, snorted, and retracted his hand: "Anyway, I'm a military doctor, I'll cover the rear, what should I be afraid of?"
