Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

The next day, the new medical team arrived at the Xitianshan camp. Cheng Yue felt complicated. She just watched this group of people standing in the yard and observing everything. She bit her lip nervously and didn't go forward to greet them.

The medical team that came this time was composed of male members. The leader, Xu Guojun, was the director of the Department of Cardiology at a hospital affiliated to Shanghai First Hospital.

This time, the team came to Xitian Mountain, unlike Fang Ya and the others who had requested to participate last time. Xu Guojun and the others were forced to come as reserve personnel.

To them, it was like an ancient official being exiled to Ningguta.

So their faces were filled with unconcealable disgust and indifference, and they acted coldly towards the workers who came and went to watch the fun. When the workers curiously asked them what they did, they remained silent most of the time, or just hummed. Xu Guojun frowned even more, and was very dissatisfied with the basic facilities here, such as accommodation and medical equipment.

In the end, Cheng Yue still couldn't escape the reality of having to come for the handover. Xu Guojun pointed to a simple red leather table and a bed made of wooden boards in his office and said, "A bed in the office? Does that mean I have to live here? Can patients sit on the bed?"

Cheng Yue explained politely, "Director Xu, the number of newly built houses is limited, and the workers are sharing a dormitory with five or six people. The conditions for our medical team are already very good..."

"Why don't you build more houses? Besides, can the six-person room for the workers be the same as ours? This bed is here for the workers to sit on during the day when they come to see the doctor, and it's my bed at night. I spend all day and night in this room."

Cheng Yue looked at the office. It was actually quite large. As Fang Ya, the room had been arranged like this since the first day she moved in. When workers came to see a doctor, they sometimes did sit on her bed, but she never minded it.

This was more than ten times better than the conditions in the tents they lived in at the time.

Cheng Yue was shy and was stunned after being asked a few questions by Xu Guojun. He didn't know what to say. The work team was very welcome to the arrival of the new medical team. After all, the construction of the West Tianshan Tunnel had only started for a few months, and accidents occurred frequently. It was an indisputable fact that batches of workers had health problems.

The construction project of the West Tianshan Tunnel cannot be completed without a medical team.

Hearing Xu Guojun's words, a staff member stepped forward and said with a smile, "Director Xu, this bed can be removed from this office. We will find a way to arrange a separate bedroom for you."

Xu Guojun's expression brightened slightly, but he still said, "The conditions here are really too bad."

A few workers were watching from the doorway. Upon seeing this, they immediately ran over to the group and started complaining, "That new Director Xu is so arrogant, he seems to be disgusted with us sitting on that bed... I've thought about it. If Dr. Fang's medical team leaves, I'll leave too. I'm already afraid of dying here. I don't believe this Director Xu can save us at the same risk of his own life as Dr. Fang did."

"Is Director Xu really like this?"

"Yes, the nurses in this medical team are all men. They look very fierce and ignore us. Oh, I was just thinking of staying here, at least I can be with everyone, eat mutton and drink milk, but now I want to leave again..."

"Actually, the medical team members couldn't hold on any longer and had to leave. So why should we, the small workers, leave? We shouldn't have any psychological burden."

"Yeah, the medical team has been replaced, why can't we leave?"

……

The morale that had just stabilized was disturbed again by the incident involving the medical team. Lin Jinghui sent the workers' discussion in the group to Cheng Yue, who in turn sent it to Fang Ya.

Fang Ya had just changed the medicine on Ling Fengxi's hand. The bones at the joint of his middle finger were exposed, and many of his nails were broken. The tips of his fingers were scabby. For a tough guy like Ling Fengxi, this was no problem, because he could endure it and still do many things with his injured hand. But if an ordinary person encountered this situation, he would probably have trouble eating, writing, and going to the toilet...

Seeing that he couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily and was having difficulty eating noodles, with noodles constantly falling into the bowl, and he was eating in a mess... Fang Ya's eyes turned red, and she took the initiative to pick up the bowl to feed him.

Ling Fengxi wanted to refuse, but Fang Ya said, "I'm a doctor. If you refuse, it means you're the one who's imagining things."

So Ling Fengxi could only eat the food she fed him obediently.

Fang Ya finally smiled and continued, "You know what? Captain Wu, he and his wife have been divorced for several years, and his daughter has broken up with him. She told her father to die quickly over the phone. Captain Wu has no family at all, but I don't know why he has been hiding it."

Hearing this, Ling Fengxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he's willing to speak out. Yes, I know he's been homeless for a long time. People working in engineering are away from home all year round, sometimes not even able to return home for a year or two. Naturally, his wife would complain. The children often don't even recognize him, so it's not surprising that he has such an attitude."

"He's hiding it from everyone because he doesn't want people to laugh at him." Ling Fengxi's voice was gloomy. "Actually, I understand him and I won't laugh at him, but he always wants to beat me."

"You too, don't you? He doesn't seem to know about Li Yuehe's death. What do you two have to hide from each other? And this time, he didn't tell me. He was seriously injured and needed to notify his family. I found out when I called his family. I took the initiative to question him and exposed him, so he admitted it."

"Haha, this person is very face-conscious."

"Isn't it the same with you?"

The two of them were arguing back and forth and almost started quarreling again. Fortunately, Ling Fengxi ate quickly and fell asleep on the bed after finishing his meal, thus avoiding further escalation of the war.

In fact, this is not the way Fang Ya likes to deal with things. She doesn't like Ling Fengxi's evasive approach when encountering any problems. When she recalls her campus romance with Ling Fengxi, which seems to have ended in vain, there are actually clues. At that time, Ling Fengxi would avoid any problems between the two of them if he could, and he didn't like to explain.

But Fang Ya sometimes just needs to hear an explanation. Because of this, the two of them sometimes have a cold war. For Fang Ya, it is a cold war, but for Ling Fengxi, it is "letting nature take its course."

Recently, Fang Ya was moved by the brat Ye Minglang. Ye Minglang almost died in the mountains in search of Gulinar. It turns out that love can be so passionate and proactive, and can be pursued in this way.

And she couldn't even really get close to Ling Fengxi.

She thought of Ayala again. Did Ling Fengxi also pursue Ayala like Ye Minglang? Was his love and passion already given to someone else?

Therefore, she will never be able to enter his heart.

She recently heard a saying locally, "If love is thunder, no one can stop the thunder."

So, if something can be blocked, it shouldn't be love, right?

She looked at Ling Fengxi's back for a long time, then called out softly, "Fengxi!"

But Ling Fengxi didn't look back, and her body didn't move at all. The blazing light of love that had been burning in her eyes for more than ten years suddenly went out.

After another two minutes, she turned around silently and walked out.
