Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

"Secretary Ling, we all understand this very well. We are the new type of workers of the 21st century. We are educated, knowledgeable and reasonable. You can go to the hospital without worry."

"Yes, please go to the hospital immediately. We will follow the arrangements of the team leaders and the leaders and wait patiently for the next plan."

"We will do whatever is arranged, and we will never back down."

"Yes, we won't back down!"

At this moment, someone suddenly started singing, "Tell yourself that you would rather die than change. You must crush all the hardships in life. I will fly and fly to the highest point in life. Even if I am tired, I will not give up my faith. I will fly and fly to the highest point in life and draw a dot for our hearts..."

This song, full of vicissitudes and unwavering faith, filled the entire hilltop. Gulinar, riding her horse, also arrived outside the medical team's yard. Seeing this scene, she couldn't hold back her tears and reached out to wipe them away.

Suddenly he turned his horse around and left...

More than two hours later, when she came back, Ye Minglang had already taken Ling Fengxi to the hospital. The workers were discussing today's events in groups of three or four. Gulinar found a flat open space near the camp, and together with Nurlan, Azati, Yerlan and others, began to build a naan pit with stones and wood.

The workers all knew that Gulinar had come, but when they saw her leading people to do this thing, they didn't know what it was for, so they all asked curiously.

"Gulinar, why are you here? Didn't you stop delivering milk to us? Why are you here again?"

"You've contributed to Western Tianshan, even nearly sacrificing your lives. As the natives of Western Tianshan, how can we just sit there and do nothing? Today we're going to roast a whole lamb for you."

Ye Erlan also said, "Today, everyone should eat and drink well! If you want to drink milk, we can continue to send it! And if you want to eat milk lumps, you can also come to me! As long as you have tickets, there is an unlimited supply!" Ye Erlan rubbed his thumb and index finger together, "We will supply you with the lowest price!"

"Do we have to pay for the whole lamb today?" the workers teased them deliberately.

"It's a whole roasted lamb! The nearby herdsmen heard about what happened today, so we're giving it to you all! We'll kill and roast the lamb right here, so you'll have a good meal! It's a free carnival!"

"Wow! So happy!"

The workers cheered...

Someone sang a Kazakh song:

Gawarita, today is really unexpected. Why didn't you wait? My mood came to you like wildfire. The tent is not here, and you are not here either...

Oh, Gavalita, Gavalita, my beloved, I wandered around the place where you once lived, but it was already desolate. When will I be able to meet the lover in my heart? How can I not worry about it..."

Gulinar was dancing, but then she stopped.

It was already dark at this time, and the flickering firelight reflected on everyone's faces. Every face was so vivid, but Gulinar shed tears.

No matter how lively it is tonight, this place will become desolate in the future. These houses are built temporarily and these people live here temporarily. When the mission is completed, the houses will become empty and these people will leave.

At that time, if Gulinar came here again, she could only wander alone.

Ye Minglang would definitely not be here at that time.

Where will he be?

Where would she be?

This sentimental and soothing song made Gulina's heart feel as if it was being cut by a knife, but she wiped away her tears with her sleeves, making it impossible to tell that she had cried. When she turned around, she smiled even more happily.

She used a knife to cut up the roasted lamb. No one took a bowl or chopstick, just ate with their bare hands... "Eat, drink, and don't stop until you're drunk!"

At this time, there were actually still workers who wanted to leave the construction site. Although they were moved by Ling Fengxi during the day, and although Wu Lao Hu was also a rare good leader, Xitian Mountain was too dangerous. It was not worth it to endure endless hardships and even lose their lives. So some people were really packing their luggage and still wanted to leave.

But the arrival of Gulnar, Nurlan Azatiyerlan, and the others suddenly made the Western Tianshan Mountains become beautiful. Bonfires were lit, the flames danced, the happy dombra played, and Gulnar and the others danced enthusiastically. The old man Jiayi Laobai also came, and it was he who played the dombra...

The workers began to enjoy the carnival in the afternoon, as if such carnival covered up all the horror and danger they experienced during the day, as if this was heaven.

The workers who had already packed their luggage unpacked it and joined in with the music and firelight. It didn't matter whether they could dance or not. What mattered was that they needed singing, yelling, twisting their bodies, and they needed delicious mutton and hot milk!

Cheng Yue looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "Lin Jinghui, I wonder how Captain Wu and Secretary Ling are doing. Isn't it a bit unreasonable that we are celebrating here while they are injured?"

Lin Jinghui looked up at the stars in the sky, then glanced at the beautiful Cheng Yue, "Gulinar is very smart. Perhaps no one else understands better than her that this place will be deserted sooner or later.

She also knew what Secretary Ling and Captain Wu wanted, which was why they were inviting everyone to a carnival today. Look, those workers who had gathered around had already put down their belongings and were leaving. They would stay for at least another ten days or half a month just for tonight's carnival. Once Captain Wu and Secretary Ling returned, everything would return to normal.

"I want to thank Gulnar today. You know what? Even I couldn't keep those workers. I thought I was going to leave too. After all, if the workers were all leaving, what was the point of me staying?"

Cheng Yue's heart skipped a beat. "If I don't leave now, I'll leave sooner or later, right?"

Lin Jinghui knew what she was thinking. He didn't know how to comfort her, so he just reached out and quietly held her hand. Some things may eventually find a way out. There's no need to plan too much for tomorrow.

After a while, Cheng Yue finally received a call from Fang Ya, who then relayed the message to Lin Jinghui, "Li Jianguo's life has been saved, but he may not be able to return to the construction site. His parents are planning to come to Zhaosu overnight to take him back for recuperation."

He added, "He survived being buried in the rubble for so long thanks to being dug out in time. Secretary Ling's hands... were also able to survive because there was less sand and soil in the rubble, leaving breathable spaces within the pile. However, his new injuries, combined with his old ones, mean he can't stay here any longer. Secretary Ling and Captain Wu approved his return to Luzhou to recuperate on the grounds of a work-related injury."

Lin Jinghui's mood suddenly became heavy. "Jianguo, this kid...ah, he has worked very hard. He is the best technician in our engineering team."
