Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Wu Yongjie was so angry that his fingers were shaking. "Do you know how hard it is for the herdsmen in the Western Tianshan Mountains? How could you do this? You're stealing! You've completely disgraced our engineering team!"

Wu Yongjie rubbed his forehead with his hand, looking like he was about to faint from anger... Su Binghe disagreed, "Captain Wu, we have been in Western Tianshan for so long, and we have been eating big pot meals every day. We haven't had barbecue in a long time. We thought these sheep were lost, and we had no idea they had owners."

"Still quibbling!"

"Captain Wu, we didn't mean it. I really thought the sheep was lost." Chen Feng also said.

"Even if it wasn't intentional, it won't work. Even children know that if they find something, they have to hand it over to the police. What will the herders here think of us if you behave like this? Do you know what Hanati said when he left? He said his sheep know how to find their way back home!

You think the herdsmen are fools, but they have long seen through thieves like you!"

Wu Yongjie said, "Call the police, you must call the police!"

Lin Jinghui reminded him at this time, "Captain Wu, do you know how much these sheep are worth? If you steal more than 3,000 yuan, you may go to jail. Then Su Binghe and Afeng will..."

The two were a little dumbfounded when they heard it, "Lin Tou'er, are you telling the truth?"

Lin Jinghui nodded. "Besides, the price of this kind of head sheep is particularly high. And the price of the ewe and lamb is definitely close to ten thousand..."

"Plop!" Su Binghe actually knelt down. "Captain Wu, please don't call the police. We know we were wrong. We've worked so hard in Xitian Mountain for so long. I was just greedy. I really didn't mean it. I won't do that again. Next time I see sheep running around in the mountains, I will either leave them alone or hand them over to the police..."

Chen Feng was also frightened and murmured, "That won't do. I can't go to jail. I came to Xitian Mountain to make money, and my family is still waiting for money..."

Lin Jinghui added, "Captain Wu, maybe they really didn't mean it. It's easy to be careless in this kind of environment. A few days ago, I heard at the foot of the mountain that someone passing by Wenzhao saw a lone sheep on the road and simply threw it into a car and drove away. It's easy to have an illusion in a place like this, thinking that the sheep are most likely lost and ownerless..."

In fact, Wu Yongjie could understand what Lin Jinghui said, and Su Binghe and Chen Feng performed well in the group, especially Chen Feng. He was young, had been married for less than two years, and had a little kid at home who was just over one year old. If something really happened in Xitian Mountain, wouldn't the sky fall on his family?

Lin Jinghui also pleaded, "Captain Wu, since we've found the sheep, can we just let it go this time?"

Wu Yongjie looked at the expressions of Su Binghe and Chen Feng, and saw that their work clothes were covered with dust. Their faces also seemed to be not clean, and were covered with dust...

Wu Yongjie slapped his forehead hard again... and sighed loudly...

"This time, there really wasn't any problem. The sheep was returned to the owner. This time... this time..." Wu Yongjie struggled internally, but finally said, "Let it go this time. However, Ling Fengxi must not know about this, or he'll look down on us in the engineering team."

"We will definitely not tell." Su Binghe said quickly.

Wu Yongjie never expected that his easy "letting go" would lead to a bigger incident in the future, which made him regret it.

In fact, Ling Fengxi had already heard about this matter. Later, he learned that the sheep had been found. He also vaguely heard that it might have been a theft, but he did not ask about it. After all, he was Wu Laohu's man, and he believed that Wu Laohu would handle it.

But in fact, apart from being heartbroken and giving Su Binghe and Chen Feng a verbal education, Wu Yongjie did not punish them any further, because the life here in Xitian Mountain was too harsh and nature had already punished everyone. Instead, he took the fact that Su Binghe did not eat barbecue to heart.

That day he went down the mountain to customize a super long barbecue grill. A few days later, the barbecue grill was transported to the camp for the construction of the West Tianshan Tunnel. He did not go to the 14th section, but grilled mutton for everyone in the yard. Gulinar was making milk tea, while Wu Yongjie was grilling mutton. The fragrance in the air drifted far away, and some people smelled it and drooled.

Gulinar came over to watch the fun and said that Wu Yongjie's grilling method was wrong, and asked Nurlan if she could join in?

Wu Yongjie said: "Of course, bring that old man Jiayi Laobai, and you, Ata Apa, and the one called Azati, and Portela, bring them all..."

Gulinar was making a phone call with a smile on her face. Not long after, Nurlan, her old neighbors Yeerlan and Portela, and of course, Gaiyilaobai also arrived...

The old man also brought his own dombra, while Nurlan, Yeerlan, and Botra each contributed a sheep...

Wu Yongjie said, "You brought your own sheep when you came here. We have mutton! You came here as guests, why did you bring your own sheep?"

Nurlan laughed and said, "We don't have anything else, but we have plenty of sheep. We're having a party here, and there are so many people, so how can we not have some meat? We have to have more!"

Of course, with three more sheep, the meal would be even more delicious!

So the yard became more lively. Coincidentally, that night, Ling Fengxi and Ye Minglang, who had not been in the camp for a long time, came back. Although Ling Fengxi was a rather annoying person, everyone missed him after not seeing him for a long time. They rushed over to greet him one by one, while Ye Minglang went straight to Gulinar, and the two young men hugged each other in public.

Everyone was envious and kept cheering, "Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"

At this critical moment, Nurlan stepped in and forcibly separated the two people. "Hugging is okay, but kissing is not allowed! You can't kiss before you're married!"

Ye Minglang had no idea what to do with his old-fashioned brother-in-law. Gulinar's face had already blushed with shame, so she simply helped Wu Yongjie grill the meat and hid herself in the smoke.

It was very cold in the Western Tianshan Mountains, but there was milk tea and meat. No one wanted to go into the cafeteria, so they stood in the yard in the wind, eating meat, drinking milk tea, listening to Jiayi Laobai playing the dombra, and watching Gulinar dance...

What's missing from the bonfire? Light one now...

The yard was unprecedentedly lively. The girls from the medical team also joined in enthusiastically and danced the local dance with Gulinar, and they actually looked quite good.

Lin Jinghui was sharing a large handful of barbecued meat. "Captain Wu grilled this meat himself. Whoever eats it will be rich! Come on, let's share the meat!"

Suddenly someone shouted, "Are we roasting Tang Sanzang's flesh today? Not only will we get rich, but we will also live a long life!"

This is our shared goal during the construction of the West Tianshan project: to get rich and live long!

As soon as the voice fell, Wu Yongjie grabbed two handfuls of barbecued meat and said, "Here it comes, Tang Monk's meat is here. Everyone who eats it will live a long life!"

Fang Ya has always been very self-disciplined, elegant and serious, but at this moment she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh until she doubled over, "Oh my god, Tang Monk meat..."

After Wu Yongjie distributed the barbecue, he finally turned to Ling Fengxi.

Ling Fengxi pulled a chair and sat in an inconspicuous spot, neither outside nor inside the circle. He was a master of his own. He slowly ate the barbecue in his hands, his movements as elegant and precise as if he were eating a steak. Wu Yongjie scolded him, "You can't even eat barbecue? Do you want me to take it off the skewer, put it on a plate for you, and get you a knife and fork?"
