Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Ye Minglang quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We want Xitian Mountain. We want to live well and want it. We don't want to turn into stars."

Gulinar felt an inexplicable pang of sadness, but she hugged Ye Minglang anyway, "Minglang, will we get married? Will we become a real couple?"

Ye Minglang nodded, "Yes, I will definitely marry you."

At this time, they no longer discussed whether Ye Minglang's father agreed with their being together, because there was no need to discuss it anymore, because no matter what, the two of them would be together, and they had firmly chosen each other, and this choice could not be stopped by any force.

However, is there really no mission force that can stop it?

Ye Minglang remembers every detail of what happened on the day of the accident.

He always thought, if Gulinar had made milk tea that day and brought him a big pot of it, and if he had kissed her as usual, and then sat down and chatted with her, hugged her while chatting, and the two of them had been in love for a while, maybe Gulinar would not have left his dormitory so quickly, and maybe Gulinar could have avoided everything that happened later.

But there are no ifs in the world.

When Gulinar brought over a large pot of milk tea that day, Ye Minglang was in a hurry to go out because Ling Fengxi called him and said that something had happened with Wu Yongjie and asked him to go over and check the situation.

Ling Fengxi went to the municipal government to do some business and was still on his way back.

Ye Minglang then said to Gulinar, who was holding the milk tea, "Hua Duo'er, put the milk tea here first. I'll drink it when I come back. Maybe you can drink it for me. I'm going out now."

Gulinar said hurriedly, "Put on your coat. It's very windy today."

Ye Minglang then turned around and put on his coat. When he passed by Gulinar, he felt that Gulinar raised one hand, as if she wanted to shake his hand.

But he skipped this detail because Ling Fengxi's tone was serious. He was afraid that something really happened on Wu Yongjie's side, so he was anxious and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Without even turning around, he said to Gulinar, "Hua Duo, you should also wear something warmer so you don't catch a cold."

I heard Gulinar respond, "Okay, go get busy."

Ye Minglang rushed to the tunnel and found that something had indeed happened. It turned out that the amount of explosives didn't match. Wu Yongjie was grabbing Si Yugang and getting angry. "Si Yugang, I've always respected you. You're indeed the backbone of our team. Especially now that we're crossing this glacier zone, we can't do it without you. But this matter of explosives, is that a joke? No matter what, we must make sure the amount of explosives matches today. If not, none of us can start work."

All the workers on the face of the factory gathered in a circle, waiting for Si Yugang to give an explanation. Si Yugang's face was very dark, and he remained silent.

At this time, a worker nearby said, "Boss, Brother Gang is always very responsible. Is there a thief in the tunnel? It's flood season now. I heard that there are a lot of fish in the puddles in the mountains. Someone used explosives to kill them."

"If it was taken by herders, it would be even more troublesome. They wouldn't use this kind of explosives. If something goes wrong, who would be responsible? Also, who allowed the herders to enter the tunnel? Has anyone been in there recently?"

Because you need to punch in to enter the tunnel, that is, use your work badge to punch in on the computer. Generally speaking, it is impossible for someone to walk in through the checkpoint without punching in.

But Wu Yongjie still asked one more question.

Lin Jinghui suddenly said, "A few days ago, that young man from the ethnic minority named Azati came here and said there were strange noises in the tunnel and that it was haunted."

Wu Yongjie immediately thought of the young man who liked Gulinar and who had once blocked the tunnel entrance and prevented them from speaking, saying that the mountain god was angry.

Wu Yongjie said angrily, "Didn't that guy go to Shanghai to make a living? Why is he back? Did Shanghai defeat him?"

Ye Minglang arrived at this time and asked Lin Jinghui, "Has he come in yet?"

"Of course he can't come in. If he comes in and sets a fire or performs a sacrifice or something, that would be a disaster."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Jinghui, for some unknown reason, suddenly said, "It's not easy to make it in Shanghai. Even Azati has returned. Comrade Ye, you still have a heavy task to take Gulinar to Shanghai."

This sentence lightened the atmosphere. Wu Yongjie glared at Lin Jinghui and said, "What time is it? Are you kidding me? The amount of explosives lost this time is huge, enough to blow down a building. We are now in the glacier zone. If someone is so blind as to randomly fire a blast, our project will be completely ruined!"

Wu Yongjie was always serious about important matters, and his seriousness brought everyone back to the essence of the problem. Si Yugang was embarrassed at this moment, "Captain Wu, I'm wrong this time. I may not have recorded it carefully. It's not necessarily true that there are fewer explosives."

Everyone nodded when they heard this. "Yes, everyone is very tired now. Our nerves are on edge every day. It's possible that we sometimes make mistakes in remembering numbers."

"Captain Wu, let's forget about this. Explosives are something that most people can't handle. Blowing up this tunnel won't benefit anyone. No one with a problem in their brain would do that."

"Yes, we all think that this may be a recording error."

Wu Yongjie looked at everyone's faces, watching them discuss the matter, but he shook his head stubbornly, "No, this is not right at all. I know Si Yugang too well. He has been with me for so many years, and his data has never been wrong. I have always trusted him."

"No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Brother Gang is getting older every year. It must have been a mistake." Someone stood beside Si Yuguang and defended him.

Wu Yongjie said, "Shut up."

Then his gaze shifted to Si Yugang's face. "Si Yugang, all work related to blasting cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake. If this truly was a mistake, a mistake in the record, then it also means you are no longer suitable for this position, because one or two mistakes on your part could lead to even more serious errors."

A flash of shock crossed Si Yugang's face. "Captain Wu? Are you going to fire me?"

Wu Yongjie shook his head. "It's not a dismissal, but if you are no longer suitable for this position, I will transfer you to another position."

Si Yugang roared, "Captain Wu, I've followed you for all these years, why don't you just go and demolish your bridge? Ask everyone if they agree or not. You're really disappointing everyone!"

Wu Yongjie was very uncharacteristic this time. He didn't look at those who were watching his work so eagerly. He lowered his head and said, "Si Yugang, I hope you can think carefully about this. Was it a mistake?"

After he said that, he seemed not to be interested in waiting for Si Yugang's answer. He said to Lin Jinghui, "Arrange it so that all workstations stop working. All non-essential personnel leave the tunnel and return to the camp. Organize a special team to search the tunnel. We need to search every inch of it and make sure to find the missing explosives."

Lin Jinghui said yes and immediately made arrangements.

Si Yugang was so angry that his face turned blue. He shouted, "Yes, it was my mistake. I wrote the wrong number when I was counting. You don't need to go to so much trouble. Just ask Captain Wu to fire me."
