Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Wu Yongjie said, "I tell you, I don't rely on others to give me value. If I think it's right, I will do it. If it benefits the country and the people, I will do it. If it doesn't benefit the country and the people, I won't do it even if I can make money!"

Lu Haoyang was so angry that he laughed, "Wu Yongjie, you really have to be taller than me, right?"

Wu Yongjie nodded. "Yes. Tell me honestly, did you almost get away with this incident today? Was it Li Jianguo, one of my men, Wu Yongjie, who came up with this? In the end, the sheep and the meat were all yours. You brought me a sheep, and I have to thank you. It's not fair at all!"

Lu Haoyang also laughed. "Captain Wu, I'm definitely wrong about this. I should have explained the matter clearly to those herdsmen, right? You, Wu Yongjie, are the biggest contributor."

This made Ling Fengxi burst into laughter. "Then we have to ask Gulinar to be the translator and explain it to the herders. The herders only know to thank whoever built the reservoir. They don't understand what we are saying."

Wu Yongjie said indignantly, "This is so unfair!" and drank another glass of wine.

Lu Haoyang also laughed, "Anyway, I owe this to you guys."

Ling Fengxi continued, "No, you deserve the greatest credit for this matter. Although the reservoir project is a small one, any qualified engineering team can take it on. However, there are not many engineering teams that can complete it as quickly and with the same high quality as you. If it weren't for your hard work, our tunnel project would still not be able to move forward."

So, it was right for them to send the sheep to you, Lu Haoyang.

I believe Captain Wu also admits in his heart that he just likes to make you angry."

Wu Yongjie said seriously, "I'm not kidding him, I'm serious."

He drank two more glasses in a row, ignoring Ling Fengxi and Lu Haoyang. Ling Fengxi's eyes deepened slightly, and he held his glass down, "Old Wu, we've broken our vow today. You can drink, but don't drink too much. We still have to work tomorrow."

"Understood. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't get drunk. Tomorrow I'll be the first one standing at the tunnel entrance at the 14th site."

Then he drank another cup.

Lu Haoyang also ate and drank to his heart's content. If he couldn't make back his money today, he would have let down his fellow villagers' hospitality.

At two o'clock in the morning, Fang Ya was woken up and walked out of the tent. She saw Ye Minglang standing outside the tent. "Doctor Fang, go check on Captain Wu. He's vomiting so hard that his eyes are rolling back."

"What happened to him?"

"Drunk."

"Captain Wu, he is so inconsiderate in everything he does." Fang Ya had no choice but to put on her clothes, take her medicine box, and go to Wu Yongjie's camp.

When I entered the tent, I unexpectedly found Ling Fengxi there. It was obvious that he had also drunk some wine, but he was not completely drunk. His face was just red and his eyes were a little blurry.

When he saw Fang Ya, he said, "Hurry up and see him, don't let him die."

"The big boss is quite thoughtful. He's drinking with others, but he's also afraid of drinking them to death. Are you okay?"

Ling Fengxi leaned lazily on the chair and said, "I'm fine. I'm warm."

Judging from his appearance, he was obviously quite drunk.

On the other side, Lu Haoyang suddenly shouted, "Drink!"

Fang Ya only then discovered that there was another drunkard in the tent.

After drinking a few drinks, he knocked down three big men.

Fang Ya made a phone call, woke up Cheng Yue and the others, and brought an IV stand to give the three of them an IV.

Among them, Wu Yongjie was indeed vomiting violently. Cheng Yue said with disgust, "Captain Wu's alcohol tolerance is really poor. If you can't drink, don't drink. The smell of his vomit... Oh, it's so disgusting to watch!"

Fang Ya, always a tidy person, didn't seem to mind the situation at this point. She sent Cheng Yue and the others aside and personally held a plastic bag for Wu Yongjie to vomit. After he finished, she took the bag out and threw it away. She even patted Wu Yongjie's back gently and told him, "If you can vomit, vomit more. It's actually good for you. You're almost getting alcohol poisoning."

Wu Yongjie seemed to understand and nodded, "Okay."

But after saying the word "OK", he stopped vomiting and fell into a deep sleep. This was actually quite dangerous. Fang Ya sent two girls from the medical team to take care of Wu Yongjie all night and observe his condition.

Three drunks squeezed into one tent, it really smelled a bit...

So Ling Fengxi was helped to another tent. He did not vomit. It was not that he did not want to vomit, but he tried hard to hold it in. Just like the kind of person he was, no matter what happened, at least he could save face. Even if he was drunk, he did not want to be embarrassed.

So he was not very drunk at first, but because he couldn't vomit out the wine, and a little wind blew when he turned the tent, he became even more drunk.

Even my whole body feels hot and I have a slight fever.

Fang Ya held him with a cold towel and asked, "Old Ling, how are you? How do you feel now?"

Ling Fengxi called out a name in a daze, "Ayala."

Fang Ya was stunned for a moment, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

After coming out of Ling Fengxi's tent, she sat alone in the moonlight, staring at the cold moon.

Everyone knows that Ling Fengxi served in the army and came to southern Xinjiang. He fell in love with a girl named Ayala, but later he married Li Yuehe.

Later, Li Yuehe died. Fang Ya thought that there would be some progress between him and Ling Fengxi, but he was still obsessed with Ayala.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ling Fengxi, if you loved Ayala so much, why didn't you marry her back then?"

She handed Ling Fengxi over to Cheng Yue and took care of Lu Haoyang herself.

Relatively speaking, among the three, Lu Haoyang should have the best alcohol tolerance. Although he was drunk, he was still able to toss around, standing up and talking nonsense from time to time, and holding the glass to continue drinking.

Fang Ya knew that if a person could still stand up after drinking, it meant that he was not very drunk.

So Lu Haoyang was not in danger, but she still gave him an IV drip and some hangover medicine.

It can be said that Wu Yongjie still has some outstanding qualities. Although he was drunk, he still kept his promise. He arrived at the tunnel entrance of the 14th site early the next day. Li Jianguo and Lin Jinghui were both there, drilling holes at the water gushing area with the workers.

There was still a small accident. The drilling process was going quite smoothly. Because water was released all day the day before, there was not much water left in the rock strata inside the cave. After the hole was drilled, only a lot of water flowed out along with mud and sand. The workers only needed to clean out the wet mud and sand.

After drilling seven or eight holes in succession, it has been fully proved that Li Jianguo's judgment is correct. In fact, the gushing water here mainly comes from the underground river in the southwest corner of the 14th section. Now the water in the underground river has been drained into the reservoir, and the gushing water problem at the tunnel entrance of the 14th section is naturally solved.

This also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, so when drilling the ninth hole, no one was prepared at all. As a result, as soon as the drilling machine stopped, it felt that the surrounding soil seemed to be impacted by water, and water suddenly spurted out at a very high pressure, spraying a worker who was standing in front of the hole and making him scream and take several steps back.
