After the big turtle sent the little boy to the shore, it sank into its own nest at the bottom of the river and went to sleep. It drank the tempting water and absorbed it well.

Within an hour, the news of the giant turtle surfacing and saving a little boy spread throughout Ninghe County thanks to some quick-talking people. Many people came to see the giant turtle.

Li Moer and Old Man Wei left the crowd and walked towards the streets of Ninghe County. Li Moer wanted to see how Director Hao would solve this matter, so he waited for a while.

Just as the two were strolling on the street, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums. Following the direction of the sound, they saw a large group of people walking towards them. In the front were several soldiers, two of whom were carrying a plaque with six large gold-plated characters that were particularly dazzling: "Home of First-Class Meritorious Service."

A military vehicle slowly followed behind the soldiers. On the vehicle was a banner that read: "The loyal souls who defended our country will live forever!"

When the soldiers passed by Li Moer and the others, they saw that Li Moer was also in uniform and was the regiment commander. They immediately ran out and saluted Li Moer and the others. Old Man Wei asked, "How did this soldier die?"

The soldier said: "Comrade Yuan Zhiqiang was unfortunately killed in an explosion while performing a mine-clearing mission on the border between China and Monkey Country."

Li Moer asked, "Are there a lot of mines on the border? Why do we need to clear them?"

The young soldier said: "The mines on the Yunnan border were mainly laid by the Monkey Kingdom Army and the US Army during the Monkey Kingdom War.

In 1954, the Monkey Kingdom War broke out. To prevent the Monkey Kingdom's southern People's Army from advancing northward, the United States and its allies laid a large number of mines along the Monkey Kingdom's borders. The Yunnan border region was a key battlefield in the Monkey Kingdom War, and as a result, a large number of mines were laid. These mines caused significant casualties and property damage, bringing profound suffering to the local residents.

After a pause, the young soldier continued, "This year, for unknown reasons, civil unrest broke out in Monkey Country, banks were robbed, and the domestic economy was in a depression. They wanted to conduct large-scale trade with us, China, and hoped that both sides would clear the millions of mines buried underground. However, the mines in the Yunnan border area are laid over a wide range of terrain, including mountains, jungles, rivers, and other terrains, which brought great difficulties to the mine clearance work.

Furthermore, since the mines were laid more than 20 years ago, many have exceeded their service life but still pose a risk of explosion, making mine clearance extremely difficult.

To address the landmine problem in Yunnan's border areas, the Chinese government has invested significant manpower and material resources in mine clearance. To date, hundreds of thousands of mines have been successfully cleared, but a significant number still need to be removed.

The young soldier choked up when talking about this. Since the mine clearance started this year, more than a dozen of our soldiers have sacrificed their lives.

At this time, the soldiers carried the plaque to the soldier's home. Soon, heart-wrenching cries were heard from the other side. It made people cry.

After the young soldier left, Old Man Wei thought of Li Moer's skills and said, "Girl, wait until this matter is settled, how about we go there together? With your ability, clearing those mines shouldn't be a piece of cake, right?"

Li Moer thought for a moment and said, "Well. I don't have anything to do anyway, so why not go and take a look."
