Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

The workers happily moved in, much faster than the medical team. Since they didn't have any essentials, most simply carried their bedding and moved directly into the new house. The medical team had a lot of small medical equipment and medicine kits, and the girls themselves had more personal items than the men, so even Wu Yongjie's offer to send someone to help them was rejected.

Little by little, we moved the things from the old tent into the new house.

This time the medical team occupied a row of houses on their own, which also had wards and IV rooms.

The two leading groups, Ling Fengxi and Wu Yongjie, continued to live in the same row. On the first day, a hilarious scene occurred. Wu Yongjie stood under the light in the yard and shouted, "I just don't accept it. Why doesn't my room have a bathroom, but yours does? You are just being bureaucratic!"

Ling Fengxi has been taking a shower.

That's right, you can take a shower in the new house because there is a water heater. Ling Fengxi took a shower first. He vaguely heard Wu Yongjie yelling and cursing, but he ignored it. Instead, he took a solid and peaceful shower for an hour before coming out. By this time, Wu Yongjie was tired of scolding.

But when she saw him coming out wrapped in a bath towel, she became angry again, "You have a bath towel in the bathroom, why don't I have one?" As she said this, she became so angry that she rushed over and pulled off Ling Fengxi's bath towel.

Because Wu Yongjie was angry, many people hid in the house and watched through the cracks in the door and windows. Now Ling Fengxi's body was completely exposed to everyone.

Although he was wearing a pair of small briefs.

However, in all subsequent rumors and discussions about that night, Comrade Ling Fengxi was naked, with his well-defined and strong body and a dazed expression, standing between heaven and earth.

Some people say that Ling Fengxi has perfect eight-pack abs, but you can’t really see it normally.

As for Wu Yongjie, Ling Fengxi personally took him to his room. As a team leader, he had an office, with a bedroom attached. Next to the bedroom was a bathroom with a shower. It was just that Wu Yongjie had misread the room number, mistaking six for nine, and ended up in the wrong room.

He found his room and naturally didn't bring up the bathroom issue, but he continued, "Why am I in the east and you in the west? Lingfeng West? You put you and me in completely different places. Are you afraid of me?"

Ling Fengxi really didn't want to explain anything, so he just said, "I heard that the problem with the slag layer is serious. You should think about how to complete the project."

Ye Minglang has also moved to the new house. Last time, he almost lost his life in order to find Gulinar, which can be regarded as a love legend. No one in the camp does not admire him when they mention him.

Love, after all, belongs to young people. Look at their passion, their fearlessness in facing death, and their lingering feelings of you being the wind and me being the sand.

But for Ye Minglang, the love between him and Gulinar is actually becoming more and more difficult.

Gulinar's parents and brothers did not agree with her relationship with Ye Minglang at all. Even after the heavy rain, Nurlan and the others stopped delivering milk to the camp.

After everyone moved to the new house, their dependence on milk seemed to decrease. As a result, after drinking milk for two or three months, they stopped drinking it inexplicably, silently and naturally.

Occasionally, some people would miss salty milk tea, but after all, it was too far down the mountain. Who would go down just for a sip of milk tea? After just a few days, everyone seemed to have accepted life without milk tea.

To put it bluntly, the people in the camp are all those who travel all over the country, going wherever there is a project. Some of them have been working for more than 20 years and are even accustomed to such a nomadic life. Let alone milk tea, even if it is the best thing, it has to go when it is time to go and it has to be discontinued when it is time to stop.

As for Gulinar, she hasn't come to the camp for a long time since she broke up with Ye Minglang in the hospital.

The two of them still couldn't get through on the phone.

This time, however, Ye Minglang wasn't as anxious as last time, because she knew Gulinar was safe. She was simply being controlled by her parents and siblings, who didn't allow her to interact with Ye Minglang. Her life and survival weren't in danger. As for Ye Minglang himself, the near-death experience had already alarmed his parents in Shanghai.

He received a letter that his parents would come to visit him at the construction site soon.

His face was full of worries, but no one could comfort him. Instead, after the treatment of lung infection, he still had a slight cough, so he got medicine from Fang Ya. At the same time, he would apply Chinese medicine patches on his back regularly every day, so Fang Ya had the opportunity to see him every day.

Fang Ya also received an order from Ling Fengxi, asking her to persuade Ye Minglang.

But Fang Ya didn't know how to persuade him. After applying the Chinese medicine patch on him, she just asked, "I heard your parents are coming. Will Gulina come then?"

Ye Minglang shook his head, "She probably won't come."

"It's still hard to contact her, right? The phone isn't working. But now that you know where she is, you can still take some time off to go see her."

"no need."

Ye Minglang's reaction made Fang Ya very confused. "Are you going to give up on Gulinar?"

Ye Minglang's eyes were dull for two seconds, as if someone should have asked this question a long time ago, and he was waiting for someone to ask it. But when someone really asked it, it was like a punch to his head, making his thoughts stop.

After a while, he said, "The mountains are indeed a completely different place from the city. She and I are also different. Perhaps we really only have a shallow fate, but cannot bring happiness to each other."

This time it was Fang Ya's turn to be stunned. Could it be that Ling Fengxi had given up on Ayala in the same way back then?

Men are indeed rational animals. Ayala at that time should not have been able to understand Ling Fengxi, and Gulinar now is also unlikely to understand Ye Minglang.

Fang Ya couldn't understand it either.

As for the slag layer issue Ling Fengxi mentioned, it was indeed a significant problem for the construction team. The project was stalled for several days. Since Wu Yongjie and Li Jianguo moved in, they've been working on a solution to the slag layer, but unfortunately, no conclusions have been reached.

Yes, they had technical problems.

Ling Fengxi was a little confused. The slag layer can actually be regarded as a sand layer. As long as the parameters of the shield machine are adjusted, such as reducing the excavation speed, the disturbance of the sand layer by the shield machine can be reduced. However, the flying sand is a very hard job for the workers. Some workers said that they would get pneumoconiosis if they did this job.

This money is earned with one's life, so no one is willing to deal with the slag layer.

Ling Fengxi suggested that dust shields and other protective equipment be provided to allow the tunnel boring machine to continue excavating. His proposal was naturally rejected by Wu Yongjie.

"Leader, you don't understand the dangers here. The thickness and depth of the slag layer are unclear. If you dig rashly, it's very likely to cause a collapse, which could even result in loss of life."

Li Jianguo also nodded. "Captain Wu is right. We really need to be careful when encountering a layer of slag."
