Chapter 107: Worried Brother, Blood-vomiting Father
After listening to her brother's advice, Martha was silent for a long time.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

She spoke with difficulty, and seemed to be suppressing her anger: "What you mean is, am I not a citizen of the Alian Chieftain? Am I not a member of the royal family? The burden of the Alian Chieftaintain's country and family is borne by you and my father. In your eyes, I am so incompetent that I cannot bear such a heavy responsibility, but I cannot even fulfill the most basic patriotic obligation of a citizen of the Alian Chieftaintaintain?"

She knew better than anyone that she was not cut out for politics, so she took the initiative to avoid the vortex of power since she was a child and was content to be a princess.

However, her not actively touching upon politics does not mean that she does not care about her country!

Is it wrong to think about your own country? Is it wrong to want to make your country greener, stronger, and more confident? I can't help in other areas, but with Yan's help, I got some seeds and wanted to improve the desert environment in my country. Is this wrong?
"No, Martha, you misunderstood your brother."

This was the first time Abel had faced his sister getting angry at him. He seemed a little overwhelmed for a moment and patiently emphasized his point again:

"Brother wants your relationship with that Chinese anchor to be purer, and also hopes that you won't let the national affairs affect your mood for traveling. Don't you always like to travel? There are many mountains and lakes in Western Xinjiang. Why don't you go there to play, instead of forcing yourself to eat sand in a place like Ak City?"

"Brother Abel, if you think so, it means you never understand me."

Martha, who was always weak, seemed surprisingly strong at this moment: "I learned a saying in China, 'Every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country.' This means that the rise and fall of our country is closely related to everyone. There is no such thing as someone who can ignore the affairs of his country and throw all these burdens to others!"

"You said that worrying about these things would affect my mood for traveling, but is it possible that everything I saw in Ak City shocked me, more than all the mountains and rivers I have ever seen? Isn't this also a kind of travel?"

"I am also a child who grew up in the Arab Emirates. I have seen the tragic memories that the desert has brought to our country. So Ak City is very beautiful in my eyes, more beautiful than any tourist attraction I have ever visited! Even though the streets are now covered with yellow sand!"

"As for my relationship with Yan..."

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she confessed her true feelings in front of her family.

"There won't be any 'favors' or 'debts' between Yan and me. I will unconditionally accept everything Yan has done for me, just as Yan will unconditionally accept everything I have done for him! Yan is not the kind of person who would use a favor to gain respect for himself. I believe in my judgment of people."

Abel wanted to say something else, but his old father patted him on the shoulder, smiled and shook his head.

"It's a good thing that Martha is so independent-minded. We should be proud of her, right?"

feel proud?

Abel's face was full of complexity.

He really didn't want his sister to get involved in this kind of thing. His sister just needed to be responsible and happy. Couldn't he, the brother, do all the dirty work?
If we really want to investigate China's achievements in preventing and controlling sand, it should be him, the elder brother, who should go to Ak City to eat sand and be chased by the sandstorm! Why should he let his sister suffer this?
She should go to Tianshan Mountain, Mount Everest, and the Five Sacred Mountains of China, which are world-famous scenic spots, to enjoy the natural scenery happily! It is enough for her brother to worry about the affairs of the family and the country!
"You are forcing Martha to give up her own 'distractions'. This is just adding to her 'distractions'. It's unnecessary. You are still not experienced enough in this area. You need to learn more."

The old father patted Abel on the shoulder, but without much blame.

"Since you know the answer yourself, there is no need for me as a father to say anything more. Remember, no matter where you go, what you see, or what you play, you must pay attention to safety. No matter when, life safety is always the most important!"

"Yes! I will, Father! Besides, my mind is not filled with national affairs! I am also very interested in those natural scenic spots!"

Martha clenched her fists. "Next, I will go to the natural scenic area of ​​Xijiang for a walk. Then, Yan will take me to the roof of the world! There I will challenge the highest peak on the blue planet - Mount Everest!"

"Puff——" The old father and the other man vomited blood.

Did you not listen to any of the four words "be careful"? Mount Everest? Is that a place that a princess born in a desert plain dare to go to?
"Don't worry! I know the altitude sickness there is very severe, I have prepared blood pressure medication. Besides, Yan's medical skills are so superb, with Yan by my side, nothing will go wrong!"

Really...there won't be any problem?
-

Caiyun Province, Caiyun International Airport.

Almost two weeks have passed since leaving Acre.

During this period, Lin Yan and Martha did not encounter any sudden disasters. They drove an off-road vehicle and had a good time traveling in Western Xinjiang.

Although many places in Western Xinjiang have harsh environments, no one can deny the mysterious beauty of Western Xinjiang's natural beauty. The mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, the endless inland lakes, and the diverse species of wild deer, cattle, wolves, rabbits and other animals are all eye-opening for Masha and the people in the live broadcast room.

Martha, who has always lived in the Arab Emirates, Europe, the United States and other countries with large plains and altitudes, has never seen such a plateau scenery. During the drive, she looked around and played around, just like a curious baby, happily traveling in this vast world.

Especially every time the two talked about Mount Everest, Martha would euphemistically ask, "When are we going to challenge the highest peak in the world?"

Lin Yan could see that Martha really liked to get to high places.

But...

“Wuwuwu…TAT…”

Until she left Caiyun Airport, the sad expression on Martha's face, as if she was about to cry, never disappeared.

Lin Yan patted Martha's shoulder half in amusement and half in comfort: "Be good, don't cry, little princess. No one wants to have altitude sickness. I can only say that you should exercise regularly and go next time."

“Aaaaah! I don’t want a next time!”

Martha burst into tears.

How easy is it to get to the roof of the world?
As soon as she got off the plane at the snowy airport, Martha fell straight down - according to the airport medical staff, they had seen many people with altitude sickness, but this was the first time they had seen someone with such a severe reaction as Martha's.

According to the examination results, Martha's physical condition was too poor to withstand the extreme plateau climate of the roof of the world. So, no matter how much Martha protested, for the sake of her health, Lin Yan still brought her to Caiyun Province, so that she wouldn't have to worry about Mount Everest.

"At least... after I become stronger, you really have to take me to Mount Everest!"

"Okay, okay, yes, yes, yes, yes."

“Aaaaah! Yan, you’re just brushing me off again!”
