Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Ling Fengxi finally woke up on the fourth day. In the previous few days, he only woke up for a short while and then fell asleep again. When he woke up on the fourth day, he found Ayala crying beside him.

Fang Ya, on the other hand, was looking at the thermometer in her hand. "I'm glad you're awake. I'll hand this to the nurses' station. They need to record it. Your temperature is fine now."

Fang Ya walked out as she spoke. Ayala seemed to want to hold Ling Fengxi's hand, and Ling Fengxi noticed it, but his hand retreated silently. Ayala noticed it and immediately stopped her movements. She just looked at him and said, "Are you hungry now? Do you want to eat something?"

Ling Fengxi only asked in return, "How are Hanati and the others?"

"They're already well. They're eating and drinking in the ward and even wanted to drink, but the doctor stopped them. I plan to discharge them tomorrow."

Ling Fengxi nodded, "That's good."

The two looked at each other in silence, and Ayala said, "I'll go get you something to eat. You haven't eaten properly these past few days. You always vomit out the porridge or water you eat. You've lost a lot of weight."

Ling Fengxi nodded again.

As soon as Ayala left, Ling Fengxi immediately called Ye Minglang and asked him to report the situation in the camp. When he learned that Wu Yongjie had taken the survey team into the mountains, his heart suddenly tightened. He hung up Ye Minglang and called Wu Yongjie again. The service desk said, "The number you dialed is out of service area."

Ling Fengxi was about to be discharged from the hospital that afternoon, but Fang Ya stopped him. "You can't be discharged. You're seriously ill this time. You need to follow the doctor's orders. In particular, you can't go up to Xitian Mountain for the entire winter."

Ling Fengxi's face was filled with anger, "Don't worry about it."

Fang Ya's voice remained calm. "I will report your condition to the higher-ups. They will order you to stay at the foot of the mountain and take command. You don't need to go up the mountain."

"You--" Ling Fengxi felt his eyes go dark and his body fell backwards. Fang Ya was startled and hurriedly supported him. He did not fall and held on until the temporary dizziness passed. Then he coldly pushed Fang Ya away and sat on the bench in the corridor in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.

Fang Ya had already made up her mind that this matter must be reported because she couldn't let anything happen to Ling Fengxi.

She reported to the nurses' station that Ling Fengxi almost fainted. The guards called a doctor, who asked about the situation and prescribed several more tests for Ling Fengxi.

With doctors surrounding Ling Fengxi, Fang Ya finally retreated to her own ward. She'd recovered, but it was mainly due to exhaustion, coupled with the cold she'd caught on the late-night trip to Hanati's house. She'd recovered the fastest. She was already in the process of completing the discharge procedures.

Not long after she finished packing her things, Ayala suddenly walked in and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

"Ayala, what happened? Why do you look like that?" Fang Ya asked in confusion.

Ayala suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Ya and said, "Doctor Fang, please don't make things difficult for Secretary Ling. Just let him go up the mountain. Don't let anyone stop him."

He actually knelt down because of this?

Fang Ya felt her legs go weak for some reason, so she sat on the bed and let Ayala kneel there, but she was a little speechless. Ayala continued to cry, "Secretary Ling has his own choice. He is a man, and everything should be decided by him. Doctor Fang, please don't stop him."

Fang Ya looked into her eyes and said, "Then do you know that he has a serious heart problem? Maybe it wasn't serious before, but because he has been living in Xitian Mountain for a long time this year, his condition has worsened. Now it is very dangerous. If we let him stay in Xitian Mountain, he may die."

Ayala probably didn't expect him to be so seriously ill, but after a brief pause of two seconds, she said, "Men in Western Tianshan are not afraid of death, they are only afraid of not being able to do what they want to do.

Secretary Ling said when he was very young that the Western Tianshan Mountains must be opened up. Only after it was opened up could the worlds on both sides of the mountain be integrated and everyone could live a good life.

The tunnel in Xitian Mountain is less than half built now. If you ask him to give up now, it would be like asking for his life. Can he live well at the foot of the mountain?

He still has to worry about the mountain every day, which might even make him more tired. On the mountain, even if he's tired, it's still fun. He's fighting together with everyone. Down there, he's all alone. He has to admit that Xitian Mountain has beaten him down. Can such a life really keep him healthy?

Looking at Ayala's determined expression, Fang Ya realized that Ayala came with her in her arms and had to convince her. If Fang Ya continued to refuse her, she might continue to kneel.

Fang Ya also seemed to understand why Ayala could win Ling Fengxi's heart.

Because Ayala understood him, even if he wanted to do something crazy, she would support him. She blindly worshipped him, no matter what he wanted to do, she thought it was right, as long as he wanted to do it, she would support him.

But Fang Ya can't do that. Fang Ya likes to control Ling Fengxi.

Is this why Ling Fengxi still likes Ayala in the end, but doesn't like her?

She barely heard what Ayala said next. Time passed by bit by bit. Ayala's legs must be sore from kneeling. Fang Ya suddenly woke up and turned her gaze from the window to Ayala.

"I can choose not to file a report, but I hope neither of us will regret it in the future."

Ayala said, "If you have any regrets, let me be the only one who regrets. I was stubborn and insisted on my own ideas. Doctor Fang, you are just helpless."

She bravely took on all the responsibilities.

Fang Ya is made to look like a clown who is petty and tries to shirk responsibility.

But Fang Ya knew that Ayala didn't mean it. She helped Ayala up and said, "I'm discharged from the hospital and leaving now. I'll ask you to take care of Ling Fengxi in the next few days. And Hanati and the others will also be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. You..."

Fang Ya finally felt that some things did not need to be arranged and should be left to nature, so she stopped talking here, picked up her bag, went to the nurse's desk to get a list, and then went to the outpatient department to check out.

Fang Ya originally wanted to go see Ling Fengxi again, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Meeting him would just result in them arguing or apologizing to each other, which would be meaningless.

After she left the hospital, the car sent by Ye Minglang was already waiting for her.

The car drove towards the West Tianshan Mountains, and the scenery on both sides of the county quickly receded. Fang Ya's eyes were a little blurry, and it turned out that tears were quietly overflowing.

She wiped it away gently, she didn't know why she was crying.

There's no reason. Perhaps, the life in Western Tianshan is just too hard.

Maybe it was because every time she went down the mountain and returned to Xitian Mountain, she always needed a lot of courage and encouraged herself many times in her heart before she had the courage to get on the return bus.
