Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Without any hesitation, she solemnly filled in her name on the form. She ran from thousands of miles away to this deserted Western Tianshan Mountain.

Although she is a doctor, she finds it difficult to adapt to the environment here. Since arriving here, she often takes large amounts of various medicines to treat physical discomfort. It can be said that her only advantage in adapting to survival here is that she is a doctor, and she knows that she must take medicine in time when she feels unwell.

Ever since she came here, she has been trying hard to take care of others, but no one thinks that she also needs care.

Just because she's a doctor...

Just because she was a stupid doctor, and just because she wanted to have a chance to be with a man who didn't love her, she came to Xitian Mountain without hesitation.

Being bitten by insects here, being insulted and rejected here, is this God's punishment for stupid women?

Fang Ya stared at Ling Fengxi in a daze, nodded mechanically, then slowly turned around and walked out of the tent.

Outside, Cheng Yue was already in tears, and the other girls felt the same way, all of them showing indignation. Ye Minglang lowered his head in shame, and some workers who were watching the fun finally stopped laughing and their eyes fell on Fang Ya.

Fang Ya stood there for a long time, her expression calm, but she seemed to have turned into a statue.

After a long while, Cheng Yue couldn't help crying and shook her, "Doctor Fang, let's go back to the medical room. We shouldn't stay here anymore."

Fang Ya nodded, and suddenly she was back to normal. She nodded politely to everyone, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. Everyone, please go back to your seats and get some rest. Didn't Captain Wu say we should all rest today? Then, everyone, let's rest, and we'll rest in the medical room as well."

Well, the medical room also went on strike.

Ling Fengxi was the only one left in the tent. His face was bruised and swollen, and his arms and legs hurt as if they were broken. He stood up with difficulty and sat on a chair, sighing deeply. "Wu Lao Hu, you're in trouble. You dare to hit the leader? You are really capable and courageous. You—"

He fell silent and smiled bitterly.

After a while, Ye Minglang came in, holding a cup of hot water. "Secretary Ling, this is considered a gang fight. Do we need to call the police? Captain Wu and the others should be severely punished, right?"

"How can this be considered a gang fight? Xiaoye, they are fighting in a group." Ling Fengxi corrected.

"Yes, yes, a gang fight... Then, should we call the police?"

"Xiao Ye, you still think it's not chaotic enough? In this place, if you can't solve your survival problem within a week, there's no need to call the police. The workers will all run away. If Wu Lao Hu and the others all run away, who will build the West Tianshan Tunnel?"

Ye Minglang said, "Secretary, this time, the doctor on the other side seems to have gone too far..."

Ling Fengxi wiped the corner of his lips and said, "You don't understand. Get out."

Ye Minglang put down the boiled water, still worried, "Secretary Ling, you were beaten very badly just now, do you really not need to go to the infirmary?"

"Need not."

As for Fang Ya, she had actually just observed Ling Fengxi's condition. Although he was beaten badly, he was not injured in any vital parts. Wu Lao Hu still knew how to control his moves, so she was not worried about Ling Fengxi.

Life in the camp was getting worse and worse. Even though everyone was trying their best to make life better, it was actually getting worse and worse.

It was too cold before the temperature rose, and everyone thought that cold was the biggest drawback of Western Tianshan. After finally getting to May and June, when the weather got warmer, life became even more difficult.

The snow water from the Western Tianshan Mountains was so clear, but it carried with it the dampness and coldness accumulated throughout the winter, or even countless winters, and poured into the camp, turning it into a swamp-like place with small streams everywhere. Whether it was the workers, the medical team, or even the leadership team, they were constantly moving from tent to tent, consuming too much physical strength and passion for life.

As Wu Yongjie said, "The Western Tianshan Mountains in May are not a place for people to live. Is it because the river under Mengpo Bridge collapsed?"

Fang Ya was a little surprised when she heard Wu Yongjie's words. How could such a rough guy know about Mengpo Bridge? And what kind of river was there under Mengpo Bridge?

But Wu Yongjie described it very well.

In mid-May, the Xitianshan construction camp was indeed flooded everywhere. Even the simple reservoir built by Lu Haoyang before was useless because the reservoir was in a low place and the nearby water naturally flowed into the reservoir.

The actual location of the camp is slightly lower than the reservoir, and is not even on the same hill.

The melted snow in the Western Tianshan Mountains rushed wildly, extinguishing everyone's passion.

In fact, most of the workers in Wu Yongjie's camp could no longer hold on. Wu Yongjie even heard that they gathered together and planned to resign collectively and leave the camp.

Wu Yongjie was so anxious that his mouth was foaming.

However, the natural environment and living environment of Western Tianshan cannot be changed by human power for the time being, and there is no other way but to adapt. As a result, Wu Yongjie and Ling Fengxi had another fight.

As soon as this incident happened, Wu Yongjie seemed to have an excuse and made a move to leave Xitianshan.

Many workers even pushed down their tents, gathered in groups of three or five, and drank, played cards, and basked in the sun. If one hill was too humid, they would go to another hill, or even gather by the reservoir to have fun. It seemed that they had completely forgotten about the project, and the project had indeed stopped.

When Ling Fengxi went to check the progress of the tunnel construction, only Azati was there. He was walking around in the cave with a confused look on his face.

"Is it yours? Why dig a hole? What's the point of digging a hole? It's a nice mountain..." Azati was not afraid of Ling Fengxi at all, and he started to mock and complain.

"As for you guys, all you do is eat and do nothing all day!"

Ling Fengxi knew that Azati didn't quite understand what they were saying, so he simply explained, "This is the road. There's a road that goes through the Western Tianshan Mountains, but it's not open yet."

Azati's face was filled with sarcasm. "Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains? You must be joking..."

Azati felt that there was no more roar of the mountain god in the cave, and thought that it must be that the mountain god tolerated this group of ignorant and idle and bored humans. The mountain god was helpless with these people who had nothing to do and since the mountain god was no longer angry, Azati felt that he could just let it go.

But he still missed Gulinar a little, as he hadn't seen her for a long time.

At this time, Lin Jinghui from another hill suddenly blurted out a local proverb he had just learned. He said that he heard it from the boss when he was eating mutton head in the county:

"Two rams' heads can't fit in one pot!"

It's true, isn't it? It's similar to "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers," but more vivid. "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers" represents contention, while boiling two rams' heads in a pot represents integration, but the ram's head is too big to fit in the pot.
