Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Fang Ya ignored his nagging and just handed him the thermometer, indicating that he should put it under his armpit.

"I still have to go distribute the herbs and will be back later." Fang Ya said as she walked out the door. Wu Yongjie felt indignant and went to lie down on another bed.

Seeing that Ling Fengxi seemed to be sleeping soundly but no breathing sound could be heard, he suddenly became a little nervous and actually ran over to feel Ling Fengxi's breath.

When he felt the heat, he breathed a sigh of relief and lay back down on the other bed.

Fang Ya and Cheng Yue were sorting the herbs in the room where they were stored. It was very cold. Cheng Yue kept blowing air into her palms. "Doctor Fang, the other rooms have heaters, why can't we have radiators in the storeroom where the herbs are stored? It's too cold to handle the herbs like this."

"Herbs are difficult to preserve. Fortunately, the West Tianshan Mountains are so cold, and this house acts like a natural refrigerator, which allows us to preserve such a large amount of herbs. If we put a radiator, it would cause moisture to accumulate, and the herbs would spoil easily."

"How long do we have to boil this herbal medicine? It's unbearable. Several girls in the team are exhausted at night, and some are clamoring to go back to Shanghai."

Fang Ya kept working and was silent for a long moment before she said, "If you want to go back, go ahead. It seems the further you go in, the harder it gets. This tunnel was quite difficult to build and there are certain dangers involved, so if you want to go back, go ahead."

Cheng Yue said "oh" and stopped talking.

Fang Ya said, "Do you want to go back?"

Cheng Yue said, "I want to go back, I want to go back so badly, but I can't go back." She bit her lip for a long time, and then said as if she had made up her mind, "If Lin Jinghui doesn't go back, I won't go back either."

This made Fang Ya burst out laughing, "When did you become so love-brained?"

"I now understand that there are no people in the world who are not love-sick. It just depends on whether they have met the person they want to love."

Fang Ya nodded. When she met Ling Fengxi, she also became a love-brained person. When Ling Fengxi met Ayala, he also became a love-brained person. And Wu Yongjie...

Fang Ya prepared the herbs and returned to the medical room. Many patients had already come in. Some were standing, some were lying in bed, and the nurses were busy giving them injections and dispensing medicine.

Ling Fengxi didn't wake up, but there were several people sitting around his bed, and everyone's eyes were on his sleeping face, as if they were staring at something interesting.

Fang Ya couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Why are you looking at him?"

Those people smiled innocently, "I didn't expect Secretary Ling to be treated here too? We thought leaders like him would go to the hospital down the mountain to recuperate when they were sick."

"Yeah, and Secretary Ling can get sick too? He's as hard as a steel pipe."

"Yeah, isn't it a bad idea to let him use the same medical room with us workers?"

"What's wrong?" Fang Ya said, "This is a medical room. Everyone here is a patient. No one is superior. Even if they are not patients, everyone is just ordinary people who work together and are responsible for different levels of work."

The workers were delighted to hear this. Fang Ya asked the nurses to continue giving injections to the workers while she went to Wu Yongjie's dormitory. When she opened the door, she saw Wu Yongjie lying on the bed, wrapped in a blanket and shivering. "Captain Wu, why didn't you wait for me in the medical room? Are you cold?"

Wu Yongjie sat up and said, "It's cold. I saw the workers had nowhere to sit, so I made room for them."

"You... just squeeze in."

"Where is the thermometer?" Fang Ya asked again.

Wu Yongjie handed the thermometer to Fang Ya. Fang Ya took a look and said, "37.9 degrees Celsius, a slight fever. But you're shaking so badly, the temperature might continue to rise. You should go to the medical room for an injection first. Also, you need to drink some medicine for the cold."

"it is good."

Fang Ya was about to leave when she finished speaking. Turning around and seeing Wu Yongjie still motionless, she said, "Come on, you don't want me to bring the needles and medicine to the dormitory, do you? I can give you the injection in the dormitory, but without a nurse watching, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep again after the injection and your blood will regenerate."

"No, Yaya, I want to talk to you." Wu Yongjie rarely showed a somewhat awkward expression.

Fang Ya's eyes turned, she walked back, sat opposite him, nodded, and said, "Go ahead."

"Yaya, it's only December, and life in the camp is already getting harder and harder. The construction is also very demanding. I'm afraid the workers really won't be able to hold on."

Fang Ya can now clearly feel that the difficulties brought to them by Xitian Mountain have become greater. Moreover, after a long struggle with Xitian Mountain, although they have encountered problems now, the reactions of all parties are flat and not as excited as before, but this is actually the state of reaching a critical point.

I’m afraid that if something happens again at this time, the workers will not be able to hold on at all.

Fang Ya finally caught the true fragility in Wu Yongjie's eyes. She suddenly stood up and hugged Wu Yongjie like a child.

Wu Yongjie, who always looked lustful, didn't react at all, but he still couldn't hide the pain and worry in his eyes. Fang Ya pinched his face and asked, "Is this still the Captain Wu I know?"

Wu Yongjie touched the place where he was pinched, and suddenly burst out laughing, shook his head, and then patted his head with his hands. He seemed to suddenly find it very funny and couldn't stop laughing.

Fang Ya didn't stop him, and the two of them laughed together. After laughing enough, Wu Yongjie got out of bed and said, "Let's go to the medical room to get injections and medicine, and by the way, check on that guy Ling Fengxi."

He regained his previous bold and rough self.

When the two arrived at the medical room, they found that Ling Fengxi had woken up. Seeing so many workers around him, he was also embarrassed. He was not the kind of person who was very outgoing. Others could chat with the people around them, but he just remained silent. In addition, he was the leader, so the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn and weird.

Until Wu Yongjie came in and yelled, "Ling Fengxi, I thought you were an iron man. What's wrong? You're just like us peasants, needing injections and taking medicine!?"

Everyone laughed.

Ling Fengxi's expression also relaxed and he burst into laughter.

Seeing this, one worker said, "In the face of disaster, everyone is the same. We all have to save our lives. Those who can't save their lives will die. So what's the point of leadership?"

The words are rough but the truth is there, but it just doesn't sound good when you say it.

Ling Feng didn't hear anything in the suit, so he simply took out the pillowcase and covered his eyes with it. He wanted to sleep for a while because he was really tired, but the medical room was a bit noisy.

Fang Ya noticed and said, "It's already late. You should get your injections now. Don't make any noise. Rest on time so that you can run faster when danger comes."

The implication is that if you run too slowly, you won't be able to survive.

This is a rebuttal to the above statement.

Fang Ya has been with the workers for a long time and has become very good at talking. Ling Fengxi thinks this is a sign of growth and can't help but secretly give Fang Ya a thumbs up.
