Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Lu Haoyang walked out of the tent in anger, feeling that there was no room for improvement in the situation, so he took out his phone and quickly reported the matter from his own perspective.

By the time Fang Ya and the other girls on the medical team had treated all the wounded, it was already late, with only a shimmer of sunset remaining. She left the tent only to discover Gulinar hadn't left, shivering at the door.

"Gulinar, why haven't you gone home yet?"

"Sister Fang Ya, Ye Minglang asked me to wait for him in the camp. But I don't know what he's been busy with, and he hasn't come back yet. I'm a little worried about him."

"Oh, you silly girl..."

Fang Ya quickly brought her to her tent. "It's so late, you probably can't go back home, right? Stay here tonight, but you have to find a way to notify your family, otherwise everyone will be worried."

Gulinar hadn't expected that she could stay here. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly called her family. Then, she said, holding the milk, "I'll make you some milk tea myself today."

Fang Ya nodded. While Gulinar was making the milk tea, she washed up briefly and then sat down exhausted in front of the low table. Gulinar handed her a bowl of salty milk tea in time. Fang Ya drank it slowly for a while before she recovered.

"This place is really too cold. If you don't use up your energy here, you'll feel very cold. If you do, you'll feel exhausted."

Gulinar smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. "Actually, I studied abroad. I know some places have very good climates, but in my heart, I think my hometown is the best. Everything here is what I'm most reluctant to leave behind."

"Then why are you waiting for Ye Minglang?" Fang Ya asked suddenly.

Gulinar's pretty face flushed, and she looked very shy, but she spoke very frankly, "Sister Fang Ya, Ye Minglang is good, I want to marry him."

Fang Ya liked Gulinar more and more, especially after Gulinar expressed her thoughts so directly. She suddenly thought of herself. If she had expressed her thoughts to Ling Fengxi as directly as Gulinar, would the result be different?

Finally, she shook her head silently. Her situation with Ling Fengxi was different from that of this young couple. It seemed that Ling Fengxi had never really liked Fang Ya.

Every time Fang Ya thought of this, a feeling of bitterness slowly rose in her heart.

Logically speaking, as a middle-aged person, she should no longer be "love-brained" and should be able to handle many things rationally. However, she just couldn't be rational in front of Ling Fengxi. This time she was very impulsive and chose to come to Xitian Mountain for him, not for anything else, just so that the two of them could live and interact in the same world.

But since coming here, the two of them have very little time to talk to each other properly.

Gulinar had no idea what Fang Ya was thinking. She just kept talking about her own thoughts. "We Kazakh girls all like passionate and strong men. I'm different. I've been to school, and I like steady and reserved men. As for Ye Minglang, I fell in love with him at first sight.

I just don’t know what he’s thinking.”

Fang Ya finally couldn't help but remind him, "As far as I know, Ye Minglang is from Shanghai, and his parents are also in Shanghai. He will live in Shanghai in the future and is destined to stay in Xitianshan for too long."

Gulinar was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Can't stay too long? How long then?"

"No more than two or three years at the longest."

Gulinar held the milk tea bowl to her mouth, covering part of her face with it. Fang Ya could clearly see tears glistening in her big eyes. But when she put the bowl down, she said, "That's enough. Maybe he's willing to marry me, and I'll go live in Shanghai with him."

"Didn't you say you missed your hometown the most?"

"So what if I'm reluctant? I can't let a man who's doing great things feed cattle and sheep with me, right? Sister Fang Ya, I've been to school and I'm sensible."

……

Fang Ya sighed softly. A little girl who is just beginning to fall in love always thinks everything is too simple.

"Why don't you call Ye Minglang? Ask him what he's doing?"

"He asked me to wait, so I waited. If he didn't come in time, he must be busy with important things. If I called him, it would disturb him," said Gulinar.

"He sent the wounded to the county."

The two chatted casually, drank milk tea and went to sleep on the tatami. Gulinar said, "This place is not suitable for sleeping. Although our tent is only more than two hours away from here by camel, we still want to be more comfortable there. Sleeping here will give me a headache."

Fang Ya said, "You won't catch a cold, will you?"

I touched Gulinar's forehead and found that she was indeed a little hot, so I stood up and got her some medicine.

When Ye Minglang came back the next day, Fang Ya told him that Gulinar was sick. Ye Minglang was very worried and ran into the tent to see. Gulinar was having a fever and there was a towel handle on her forehead. She used to be as hot as the sun, but now she looked pale and weak.

When she heard Ye Minglang come in, her illness seemed to improve a lot. She sat up and threw herself directly into Ye Minglang's arms, "I waited for you for a long time yesterday."

Ye Minglang never expected that the girl would throw herself into his arms like this.

After being stunned for a moment, he also stretched out his hands and hugged her tightly, but he didn't know what to say. The two of them hugged each other like this for a long time before separating. Ye Minglang took out a beautiful little wooden horse hairpin from his arms and said, "I saw it sold at a hair accessory stall on the street. It's very cheap but very beautiful. I thought of you at the time, so I bought it."

Gulinar observed the small hairpin. The style was relatively ordinary, but there was a layer of "gold sprinkled" on the surface of the hairpin, which was very dazzling in the sun.

"I like it. Thank you, you are my favorite boy."

As the two of them were being affectionate with each other, Fang Ya, who was talking to Ling Fengxi, was startled by Wu Yongjie's sudden appearance. His eyes were red as he angrily said to Ling Fengxi, "Do you know what the local proverb says?"

They were talking about proverbs again. Ling Fengxi didn't say anything, just waited for him to finish.

"If you put a pig at a table, it will put its legs on it too," Wu Yongjie continued. "Lu Haoyang is a pig. He went to the county last night and wanted to give Lin Jinghui 10,000 yuan to settle the matter privately. Do you think he has a mental problem? We even prepared milk and other things for them. Is that necessary? He really doesn't deserve to be treated with respect."
