Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Chapter 7 The destination is right under your feet

Ling Fengxi said, "You guys can handle the issue of the trapped vehicles yourselves. I believe you have a way. I'll take care of the medical team's need to relocate their campsite."

"Okay! Then I'll designate this area as a mechanical area."

An hour later, the medical team learned that their camp would be moved.

Fang Ya's pretty face flushed with anger as she yelled at Ye Minglang, "We just got here yesterday. We put in a lot of effort and mental preparation to adapt to this place. We just took out our luggage and packed it, and now we have to move somewhere else?"

Cheng Yue added, "We are a medical team, not wanderers from Cambodia!"

Ye Minglang hesitated for a moment and explained, "This is Secretary Ling's order."

Fang Ya yelled angrily, "I want to see Ling Fengxi!"

Later, Ling Fengxi had to come forward to meet Fang Ya.

He didn't explain much, just told Fang Ya to follow him. The two of them walked for twenty minutes before reaching the platform Wu Yongjie mentioned. "This will be set up as a machinery area. Heavy machinery will be operating here for six months to a year."

Fang Ya glanced down the mountain and knew what was going on. "Can't it be set up somewhere else?"

"The mountains are steep and rugged. People can move, but finding a suitable area for machinery is not easy."

"understood."

Fang Ya was very tired after climbing the mountain for a while. There were beads of sweat on her forehead and the pair of white sneakers on her feet were scratched with several marks. They looked worn out.

She wanted to take a break.

Ling Fengxi noticed it, took off his coat, and spread it on a relatively flat stone, "Come and sit here."

Although Fang Ya felt embarrassed, she couldn't care less at this moment. She sat awkwardly on Ling Fengxi's clothes. Seeing him still standing there looking into the distance, she said embarrassedly, "You are so busy, and you still have to take me along to explain this matter. I'm sorry."

Ling Fengxi turned his head to look at her, a little surprised. In his impression, Fang Ya was always unreasonable and it was extremely difficult to get her to apologize.

Fang Ya continued, "Actually, I just want your attitude. If you explain it to me sincerely like this, I'll feel like everything is fine. I'll take them away soon."

Ling Fengxi nodded, "Thank you."

Fang Ya was a little depressed. "Can't you say a few more words? You and I have nothing in common?"

Ling Fengxi hesitated for a long time before saying, "You just arrived, and we haven't had a welcome party for you yet. What do you want to eat for lunch? Tell me, and I'll ask them to make it."

Fang Ya sighed helplessly, "You... apart from this, don't you have anything else to say?"

This time Ling Fengxi was really stumped. He turned his head and looked into the distance.

Fang Ya said, "I want to drink red wine, eat foie gras, have a candlelight dinner and have flowers."

……

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Forget about the red wine and foie gras. They didn't even have time to eat lunch at noon because they had to move quickly. The medical team members complained bitterly. The girls had been running around and moving and resettling continuously, and they felt so tired that their hearts couldn't lift up.

However, if they were not relocated properly, their rest and safety at night would also be a problem. Seeing this, Wu Yongjie arranged for a group of construction workers to come and help them move the large items.

The new camp was located in a place with a steeper slope, fortunately facing the sun, about 500 meters away from the original camp, and above the camps where the leadership teams of Wu Yongjie and Ling Fengxi were located.

This place was also chosen by Ling Fengxi himself, probably to better protect the medical team members.

Fang Ya was satisfied with the location of the camp, but it was even more uneven. She was afraid of rolling down the mountain when sleeping, so she had to seek flatness in the unevenness and used stone mattresses to make the tent flat.

They were busy until dark and had just finished cleaning up. Everyone was too tired to get up. Fang Ya slumped in the chair, not wanting to move at all.

Just at this moment, Ye Minglang brought them food.

Braised pork with rice, and winter melon and shrimp soup.

Fang Ya also received a piece of red candle and a small bunch of pitifully fragile yellow and purple wildflowers.

Ye Minglang said very embarrassedly, "Secretary Ling said you wanted a candlelight dinner. This bouquet of flowers was a task he gave me. I spent two hours specially picking them."

Fang Ya almost went berserk.

"What did Ling Fengxi mean? He meant that I, Fang Ya, am a particularly spoiled and squeamish person, right? I asked for a candlelight dinner in a place like this? I made a random request, and you went to such great lengths to fulfill my wish? Wasted two precious hours?"

She looked at the pitiful little yellow and purple flower in her hand and asked, "That's it?"

Ye Minglang said very apologetically, "We don't have any other flowers here, only these. If that doesn't work, I'll buy some for you when I go to the county this weekend."

"Go, go, go! Who wants to buy flowers? Is this about flowers?"

Fang Ya felt that she couldn't explain it clearly to Ye Minglang, so she pushed him out.

I stared at the peanut for a long time in frustration and couldn't eat dinner. I ate a few bites and fell asleep. After tossing and turning for several hours, I suddenly sat up, tilted my head back and smiled foolishly.

Because she felt that although Ling Fengxi was a little stupid, he still took her words to heart. At least he tried his best to prepare what she wanted...

But, she is really not a hypocritical, ignorant woman who makes random demands!

This Ling Fengxi!

There are some truths that women and men can never explain clearly.

Ling Fengxi understood the difficulty of this project, but he was still very troubled when he actually encountered it. For example, the bulldozers and excavators were stuck halfway up the mountain. Because of their large size, they were not as stable as the small trucks when going up the mountain. If they accidentally overturned, not only would the losses be huge, but it would also be very dangerous.

It was the dead of night, and the medical team had long since retired, but Ling Fengxi and Wu Yongjie were still halfway up the mountain, working on the trapped vehicle. The driver, after spinning the steering wheel until it smoked, finally came down in a rage, yelling at everyone around, "This is totally not working! We can't fix this anytime soon! There has to be a way out. If there's no way, we won't get on."

The driver was so frustrated that he squatted on the ground and lit a cigarette.

Wu Yongjie walked over and kicked the driver in the butt, knocking him flat on his back...

The driver scrambled to his feet and was about to lose his temper when he saw that it was Wu Yongjie. He immediately bit back his curse words, "Captain Wu, I'm not kidding. Not only can my excavator not get on this road, but other vehicles are also difficult to get on. Only a small car can get on."

"Let me ask you, what does your excavator do?"

"I'm digging."

“What does a forklift do?”

"The one who shovels the dirt!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Digging!"

Wu Yongjie nodded. "You're right! You're right!" He grew angrier and angrier as he spoke. Suddenly, he slapped the driver on the head again. "To put it bluntly, your vehicle is for clearing the way. It digs through mountains and trees. So why did you get in before the other machines? And you're stuck here halfway up the mountain? Aren't you ashamed?"

"But didn't we agree to go to the destination..."

"Now I declare that the destination is right under our feet!" As soon as Wu Yongjie said this, everyone looked at each other. They were still some distance away from the final destination.
