Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Ayala didn't feel anything about Hanati's belated recognition.

Even if Hanati regretted it now, how long would it last? Could she undo the beatings and fatigue she had endured, the disrespectful words and actions that had deeply hurt her?

Ayala's exposed skin was hurt by the wind, so she pulled her mask and hat down, leaving only her eyes exposed to look at the road.

His tone was very gentle and kind, "Hanati, we are husband and wife. You are sick, and I should take care of you."

There was no expression on her face. Hanati seemed to be able to sense it and couldn't help but want to lose his temper again, but in the end he could only hum in frustration, "Ayala, I know that there has always been a man in your heart. You once liked a soldier, and you still haven't let him go. Even if I die, I can't get into your heart..."

Ayala's tone remained unchanged. "Hanati, let's not talk about the past. Look at the Western Tianshan Mountains. The seasons change. The snow now will turn into water next year. We will never know where the water will flow."

Hanati quieted down and pressed his body even closer to Ayala. Ayala could only try her best to straighten her back to avoid being crushed by him.

Because it was daytime, it was easier to walk than at night, and we didn't encounter any wolves or anything like that. In short, although the journey was difficult, we finally arrived at the camp before dark.

Wu Yongjie had already received the news and ran over to greet them. Especially when he saw Fang Ya with a pale face and in a coma, Wu Yongjie was so shocked that his mind went blank.

"What's wrong? What happened to her?" he shouted.

Cheng Yue hurried over to comfort her, "She's too tired and has a fever. She's taken antipyretics and is currently stable. However, we need to send her to the hospital down the mountain as soon as possible. We don't have all the necessary equipment here, and there's no other doctor besides Dr. Fang. Everyone must be sent to the county hospital at this time."

But the road hasn't been dug yet, it will take another day...

Hanati suddenly uttered a low sigh, "My sheep, my sheep are all dying. I haven't saved my sheep yet. I'm also sick. No one cares for my sheep..."

Hanati's eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

However, Ayala said, "Once we get you to the camp, you'll be safe. If we can't save you in the camp, we can't save you in our home either. The sheep are indeed important. I gave them plenty of fodder when I came. It doesn't matter if I don't go back for a day or two. But once I've settled you in, I'll go back to take care of the sheep. Don't worry."

Hearing that Ayala had arranged everything calmly, Hanati finally felt relieved.

Wu Yongjie looked carefully at Fang Ya's face, then at the half-dead herders and their families with worried faces. He suddenly shouted, "Ling Fengxi, ten days! I want ten days of vacation!"

Ling Fengxi didn't know what he was going to do, but he just froze for a moment and said, "Okay."

Wu Yongjie ran to the office and shouted into the loudspeaker, "Tonight, we'll clear the snow from the roads to make way for the sick herders and their sick sheep. From tonight on, we'll have ten days off! Ten days off! Anyone who works tonight will get ten days off. If you don't, your leave will be canceled!"

Almost instantly, the lights in all the dormitories came on, and then people walked out of the dormitories, some carrying shovels, some carrying push boards, and walked towards the road in a mighty procession.

Because there was almost no construction on that road, the power lines had been removed long ago, and there were no searchlights installed. There were only a few flashlights shining here and there, but it didn't have any impact.

It is a sunny night. The moon is very round, big and bright, shining on the cold snow. Although the entire Western Tianshan Mountains cannot be said to be as bright as day, it is actually visible.

Everyone lowered their heads and worked diligently, some smoking cigarettes, and the little flames danced up and down in the bluish-white night.

Ling Fengxi's eyes were red, but no one could notice it in such a pale night. He just raised his hand silently and patted Wu Yongjie on the shoulder.

Wu Yongjie said proudly, "I think I have a solution, right?"

Ling Fengxi nodded and gave him a thumbs-up. He really wanted to praise him loudly, "Old Wu, you're amazing!" But he was afraid that if he spoke out loud, the other party would hear his sobs.

Fortunately, Wu Yongjie was a rough man. He chuckled and changed the subject. "I say, now that I've helped you like this, can you please not get too close to my Yaya? You obviously have a woman you like. Yaya, you're innocent and really not suitable for a scheming man like you."

Ling Fengxi's suspicion calmed down in a second, and he said calmly, "I understand. I will stay away from her from now on."

Wu Yongjie said, "That's about right."

Wu Yongjie was worried about Fang Ya, so he stayed on the road for a while and then went back to the medical room. Although he couldn't help, he felt comfortable as long as he stayed quietly by Fang Ya's side.

Let Ling Fengxi and those workers do the rough work of clearing the road.

In fact, Ling Fengxi was also feeling very uncomfortable. He had a heart problem and could no longer bear the continuous fatigue. He was sitting on the side of the road to rest. When Ye Minglang was working hard, he looked up and saw Ling Fengxi with his eyes half closed in the cold wind. He seemed very tired and even a little painful.

Ye Minglang threw down the shovel and handed the hot milk in his arms to Ling Fengxi, "Gulinar only got a little milk today, Secretary, please have some."

Therefore, it is so happy to have a girlfriend from a minority ethnic group in Xitianshan. No one has milk except Ye Minglang. Ling Fengxi can drink some milk thanks to Ye Minglang.

Ling Fengxi didn't hesitate and drank some.

He said to Ye Minglang, "This road will be ready before daybreak. You will notify the construction vehicles and have the drivers prepare early. As soon as the road is open, we will send people down the mountain. There are many patients this time, and even I have to go to the county. You stay on the mountain and cooperate with Captain Wu to handle the matters during the ten-day holiday."

Ye Minglang replied yes.

As they were talking, Ayala also came. She also ran to clear the way, but because she was exhausted after working for several days and was beaten, she couldn't bear it after a while, so she walked over to Ling Fengxi and squatted down.

Ling Fengxi said, "You're not well yet, go back and rest first. Hanati and the others still need your care, don't exhaust yourself."

Ayala shook her head. "I'm just going to rest here for a while. I don't want to see Hanati."

Ling Fengxi stopped trying to persuade her, but Ayala added, "I don't want to see him, not because I want to be separated from him. Although he has many shortcomings, he is my husband and I will always be with him."

Ling Fengxi knew that Ayala said this specifically to him, meaning that there was no possibility between the two of them anymore.
