Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

But after all, no vital injuries were caused.

Instead, Wu Yongjie noticed a huge rock falling down. He pushed Ling Fengxi and the others, but was hit hard on the back by the rock. This was not to be underestimated, but at this moment he was still able to scream, and he was still shouting with blood in his mouth, "Everyone, retreat first, retreat to a safe place! Retreat!"

Li Jianguo has been in a coma since he was dug out. Perhaps he is dead?

When Fang Ya examined him, she found that he was indeed holding his breath, meaning his breathing was very shallow or even absent. Fortunately, there was no sand in his mouth and nose. She didn't know if his head was injured, but his chest was fine. Without saying a word, she began to perform artificial CPR on Li Jianguo.

This went on for about two minutes. Li Jianguo suddenly hummed, then his body curled up and trembled in pain. Fang Ya quickly gave him oxygen.

At this time, Wu Yongjie saw Li Jianguo moving and asked hurriedly, "Can he survive?"

Seeing that his eyes were red and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, Fang Ya hurriedly said, "He can survive!"

Wu Yongjie also fainted.

Ling Xifeng directed everyone to carry Li Jianguo and Wu Yongjie to the camp to wait for the car. The medical team also quickly got busy. Although there were not many injured people, the medical team had limited conditions and manpower, so until the ambulance arrived, Ling Fengxi's hands were still not bandaged.

He simply took out a kettle and poured cold boiled water on his hands to wash off the blood and sand. Fang Ya happened to see this scene, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She knew Ling Fengxi was in pain, but unfortunately, she had to save Li Jianguo at the moment, giving him adrenaline and intravenous drips, and checking his electrocardiogram, while Wu Lao Hu continued to vomit blood...

The ambulance arrived and the two injured were loaded. Fang Ya called Ling Fengxi to get in. Ling Fengxi said, "You guys go first. I'll have Ye Minglang take me back."

Fang Ya knew that he was afraid of chaos on the construction site and wanted to continue dealing with things on the construction site. She was helpless for a moment and had to take a few people to send Li Jianguo and Wu Yongjie to the hospital first.

Ling Fengxi's hands were shaking with pain. Ye Minglang felt so distressed that he said with tears in his eyes, "Secretary, I will take you to the hospital now. Let others take care of the rest."

Ye Minglang was arranging things in the camp today. When he learned the news and rushed to the 14th site, the incident had already happened and he was blocked outside the cave by Wu Yongjie.

Otherwise, he would have rushed in and fought alongside the secretary.

At this time, Ling Fengxi just shook his head, "Xiao Ye, I'm fine. Our project is different from other projects. This is a tough nut to crack, and everyone is working hard. Some things can't be delegated to others. It doesn't mean that you can convince people and get them to do it by just arranging it in the office.

Here, everyone has the right to choose to retreat at any time."

"I'm grateful to everyone who stayed and fought hard."

In fact, many people could hear his conversation with Ye Minglang. When something happened, everyone gathered around the medical team, and there were quite a few people in the yard at that time.

Ling Fengxi said this and bowed to the workers.

The workers were all silent. They had been treating this official with cold violence for a long time, but what they saw today was that this official, regardless of his life, was digging out Li Jianguo who was buried in the rubble pile.

But what happened today really made the workers realize more deeply the danger of this project. Everyone was frightened by this scene, and at the same time they were moved by this official. However, everyone was nervous about having to continue to face this dangerous situation.

Someone whispered, "Secretary Ling, your hand looks very serious. You should go to the hospital!"

"Yes, Secretary Ling, we understand what you are saying."

Ling Fengxi stood there stubbornly, because he had seen that some workers were carrying luggage on their shoulders, and it was clear that they were about to leave immediately.

He stood at the gate of the yard, intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "I don't have any other intentions. I don't have the right to stop you from leaving after something like this. I just, I just want to say a few words to everyone."

"I know that the greater good of our country, our collective honor, and our long-term economic future all take a back seat when it comes to human life. But I still want to say this: if we don't dig this road, someone else will. Sooner or later, someone else will cross the Western Tianshan Mountains. If we refuse, there will always be someone braver than us."

"I'm not forcing you to be brave. I just want to say that this road must be passed no matter what."

What else will he say next?

He no longer knew what to say.

The workers didn't know what to say. After all, whether this road was passable or not, whether the Western Tianshan Mountains could be crossed, to put it in a broader sense, this road was related to the smooth flow of traffic and economic circulation between the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and to the development and prosperity of the regional economy. It was also a project and regional priority that the country focused on. After successfully crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains, the economic development on both sides of the Western Tianshan Mountains would naturally be involved with the country.

The benefits affected everyone. But to put it simply, whether or not the Western Tianshan Mountains were crossed had little to do with individual workers like them.

So Ling Fengxi's words could not impress them.

But then Ling Fengxi said four words, "As a human being, there are things you shouldn't do, but there are also things you must do. As a human being, you must be kind, righteous, and moral."

This is a very familiar sentence. It is what Wu Yongjie often said. When he first entered Xitianshan, Wu Yongjie, at the request of Ling Fengxi, opened several classes for the workers, and he himself was the teacher.

What's the point of learning the Five Stress, Four Beauties and Three Loves, and talking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality? At that time, everyone treated it as a joke and let it go after watching the joke. But at this moment, when these words came out here, the workers were suddenly touched deep in their hearts.

After a while, someone said, "Secretary Ling, please go to the hospital quickly. If you are not here, we, the team leaders, and those of us who are willing to take responsibility, will be there.

I don't care whether others leave or not, I won't leave anyway, because I don't want to follow anyone except Wu Lao Hu."

"Yes, Secretary Ling, you are also great. This is the first time I have seen someone who can obviously become an official, but insists on working hard with us and getting covered in dust all day long."

"If we were a little slower today, we might have to dig you out!"

"Secretary Ling, you're really brave! Isn't it said that officials and wealthy people cherish their lives? Why don't you cherish your life?"

Someone else said, "I was talking to an old man herding sheep recently, and he just happened to teach me a proverb: 'A hero's life belongs to the people; a lazy man's life belongs to himself.' Secretary Ling, did you hear this saying and put it into practice?"

"Don't do that next time. We're better at digging than you are. Leave it to us..."

Everyone was talking at once, and suddenly they started talking. Ling Fengxi saw the workers who already had their luggage on their shoulders put down their luggage silently, and some even sat on the luggage to rest and started joking with him.

"Secretary Ling, if we die here in the future, will our names be engraved on the monument in the West Tianshan Tunnel?"

Ling Fengxi suddenly responded loudly, "When the West Tianshan Tunnel is successfully built, all of our names, regardless of life or death, will be on the monument!"

"Haha, if we were alive, then don't write our names. It always feels unlucky to have the names of living people engraved on the monument!"
