Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Cheng Yue was busy giving the workers IV drips and had no time to drink milk tea, so Lin Jinghui quickly finished the milk tea in his bowl, and then covered Cheng Yue's bowl with his own to keep the milk tea warm.

After Cheng Yue finished her work for a while, she saw Lin Jinghui sitting in a corner of the medical room, staring blankly.

Seeing the warm milk tea, her heart warmed up. She drank a few sips of milk tea before walking over to Lin Jinghui and gently holding his hand. "It's lunch break time, why don't you go to the dormitory to rest? What are you doing here? Aren't you tired?"

Lin Jinghui said nothing, only saying, "I heard that Secretary Ling's illness seems to be serious. Is he going to leave Xitian Mountain?"

Cheng Yue's face was also stained with a hint of gloom. "It's hard to say. If Secretary Ling leaves Xitian Mountain, I wonder if our medical team will have to leave too? Then we won't be able to see him anymore."

In fact, it is only a matter of time before we can no longer see each other.

However, both of them were mentally prepared. When they looked at each other, there was only reluctance and understanding for each other. Lin Jinghui said, "I know he won't leave Xitian Mountain. Everyone will leave, but he will definitely not leave. As men, neither of us will leave Xitian Mountain."

Cheng Yue was not so optimistic. Some diseases were indeed not suitable for living in high-altitude mountains.

That night, everyone felt inexplicably drained of energy, as if a core force was missing. The camp was unusually quiet. Lin Jinghui and the others were discussing moving campsites, but someone suddenly mentioned, "This place is terrible, but you want me to move, and I don't want to. We've been living here for so long, and we're getting attached to it."

Others echoed the words, and another said, "At least this campsite has houses and yards, even though they're all simple. If we move campsites again, will we have to live in tents again?"

Lin Jinghui just listened to their discussion without saying anything.

We have been talking about changing the campsite for a long time, but there has been no progress. I guess no one wants to change the campsite for a while.

When Ling Fengxi woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. He felt that he had slept for a very long and deep time. When he opened his eyes, he saw three enlarged faces in front of him - Wu Yongjie, Fang Ya and Ye Minglang.

He glanced around again and realized he was in the hospital, so he said in a hoarse voice, "Nonsense! If everyone is here, who will take care of the camp?"

The three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They could still curse, so it seemed that everything was fine.

Ye Minglang asked hurriedly, "Secretary, you fainted and almost died. You are in the emergency room. Your condition is very serious now. You need to rest well."

Fang Ya also said, "Yeah, you weren't in the camp for more than ten days, and everything was fine, right? It's not like they can't survive without you."

"I just can't do it without it." Ling Fengxi sat up and felt that his chest still hurt... and his arms and collarbone also hurt, and he felt a little weak.

Ye Minglang quickly helped to tuck the quilt behind his back and handed him a glass of water. He only took a sip and said, "I'm fine. I'll have Xiaoye arrange for discharge from the hospital later. We have to hurry back to the mountain."

Fang Ya hummed and said, "Okay."

Even Ye Minglang quickly agreed, "I understand, Secretary."

Wu Yongjie said, "I'll go out and buy you some food."

Ye Minglang said, "I'm going to go out and fill up the gas."

Fang Ya said, "I'll go out and get some hot water."

The three of them left almost at the same time. After over an hour, no one came in, but instead, a nurse with an IV drip arrived, along with a doctor. Seeing him sitting in bed looking extremely depressed, the doctor said, "Your heart isn't in good condition. You need to stay cheerful. You were just transferred out of the critical care unit this morning. You were resuscitated for hours and then stayed in the critical care unit overnight. You need to cherish your life."

Ling Fengxi touched his heart and asked doubtfully, "Doctor, is my heart serious? Isn't it just the lack of activity on the left or right basal column?"

The doctor smiled kindly, "This is a serious condition called insufficient cardiac muscle activity. It will affect the heart's ability to pump blood. You shouldn't travel to Tibet, high altitude areas, or climb mountains without preparation. These are all issues you must be aware of."

The doctor's original intention was to remind the patient of some important matters that needed attention, but at this moment Ling Fengxi suddenly realized something and immediately asked, "Did you also tell these things to those three people?"

"Are you talking about the family members who came with you? Yes, I've already told them. With this kind of illness, you shouldn't be too stressed out..."

Ling Fengxi didn't hear what the doctor said next. He immediately called Fang Ya. Fortunately, Fang Ya answered the phone immediately. She was sitting in the car and was already halfway back to Xitianshan.

"Doctor Fang, have you all left? Regarding my discharge from the hospital..."

"Old Ling, I'm sure the doctor has already told you about your condition. You should be on IV drip now, right? Actually, your illness just requires rest. It's nothing serious. You can take care of yourself even when we're not with you. The camp is too busy, so we'll go back first."

"What about me? I also..."

"Old Ling, the doctor told you to rest well for a few days. We've already arranged for your hospitalization. You'll be hospitalized for at least a month. Also, Captain Wu has rented a house for you in a neighborhood near the hospital. If you really want to be discharged, you can move in there."

"Why should I live in that house? What do you mean?"

"Old Ling, try not to go up the mountain until you recover. Otherwise, I will report your condition and you will have to leave Xitian Mountain."

"You, Fang Ya, you——"

At this time, Wu Yongjie answered the phone and said in a gentle voice, "No, no, no, don't be angry. The doctor said you have a heart problem. You can't get angry. Getting angry will make it worse. You will have to stay in the hospital for a few more days. This decision was made by Dr. Fang, Xiaoye, and me together. As long as you stay in the hospital obediently, get treated, and follow our arrangements, we will keep your condition confidential with the higher-ups. Isn't this a win-win situation for everyone?"

"Nonsense!" Ling Fengxi growled, "I won't agree to that."

"Old Ling, think carefully. You know Fang Ya's personality. I was able to persuade her not to report it, and then made the current arrangements. This is already her biggest concession. You know, if she pushes you too hard, she would rather you hate her forever than save your life."

Wu Yongjie hung up the phone after he finished speaking, leaving Ling Fengxi, who was furious and stunned, alone in the ward, not knowing who to vent his anger on.

……

There was no other way. The body was the capital of revolution, and Fang Ya's personality was indeed a bit strong. Ling Fengxi knew it, so he could only be patient and stay in the hospital.

But he asked Ye Minglang to bring the computer down the mountain to him, as well as work materials, and Ye Minglang and Wu Yongjie must report to him on their work every day.

As for the report from the medical room, he didn't need it. Now he felt as uncomfortable as Monkey King who was put under the tight spell of Tang Monk, and Fang Ya was that Tang Monk.

He doesn't want to see her.
