The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Because the convoy was carrying neither passengers nor cargo, it was much faster than it had been on the way there.

By 4 PM on the third day, they had already entered Beijing.

"Master, we're almost there!"

Zhou Zhiming sat up straight excitedly, looking out at the street outside the car window. "Finally, I can get a good night's sleep. These past few nights on watch have exhausted me."

Li Kaixin smiled but didn't reply, thinking much the same thing as his apprentice.

After the convoy came to a stop at the transport station, everyone got off the vehicles.

Director Xie was already waiting under the carport. When he saw the convoy return, he quickly came to greet them.

His gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on Captain Wang: "Old Wang, did the convoy encounter any problems on the return trip?"

"Don't worry, Director, everything went smoothly on the way," Captain Wang replied with a smile.

Director Xie nodded and looked at everyone again: "Thank you for your hard work this time. Thank you all for getting them safely to their destination."

"Director Xie, why are you bringing this up?"

"This is what we should do."

"Yes, yes!"

The drivers and apprentices at the transport station responded in unison.

Director Xie smiled and raised his hand to press down: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have a few more pieces of good news to announce."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately quieted down and perked up, even the fatigue from driving these past few days disappeared.

Seeing this, Director Xie cleared his throat and announced loudly:

"In view of the outstanding completion of the mission by the transport team, the superiors have decided to award our team the honorary title of Excellent Transport Team. Each member of the transport team will be awarded a cash prize of ten yuan, plus a portion of rice, flour and cooking oil."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene immediately became lively.

Seeing this, Director Xie raised his voice even higher:

"It's not over yet! That was a reward from our superiors, and our transport station is going to do the same. We've decided to give everyone a five-day holiday so you can all get some rest!"

The crowd became even more excited, and the entire transport station was filled with cheers.

Zhou Zhiming excitedly tugged at Li Kaixin's sleeve, "Master, Master! Five days off! We can finally have a good rest!"

"Look at your pathetic self," Li Kaixin said with a laugh, slapping his apprentice's hand away.

Director Xie and the others stopped laughing, and then spoke again: "Stop laughing like idiots, everyone. Return the guns, and those who need to go home, go home!"

He paused, then looked at Li Kaixin again. "Kaixin, come to my office. Your superiors have a special reward for you."

Everyone heard what he said, and they all seemed to agree.

They all knew in their hearts that Li Kaixin deserved the most credit for the successful completion of this mission.

"Okay, Director Xie."

Li Kaixin responded and turned to Zhou Zhiming, instructing, "Zhiming, hand over the gun and wait a bit. I'll see if I can drive the things back."

After giving his instructions, he immediately followed Director Xie to the office.

Station Chief Zhao had been waiting in the office for quite some time.

Seeing Li Kaixin enter, he stood up with a smile and took a thick envelope from the drawer:

"Kaixin, this is a special allowance for you from above, for that wild boar, a total of two hundred yuan. Keep it safe."

"This..." Li Kaixin hesitated. "Station Chief, Secretary Yun has already given it to me. I can't accept it."

Station Chief Zhao shoved the envelope into his hand: "Kaixin, some things can't be calculated too clearly. Just take it."

"Thank you, stationmaster!" Li Kaixin didn't refuse anymore.

"No need to thank me, you deserve it."

As Station Chief Zhao spoke, he handed over another piece of paper. "And this too, your examiner qualification has been approved. From today onwards, you are a formal examiner."

"So fast!" Li Kaixin instinctively took it.

Director Xie, standing to the side, explained with a smile:

"Knowing, you've earned merit every time you drive a long distance, and now you have so many titles, the higher-ups don't know what to reward you with. When they saw you were applying for this, they approved it instantly."

"Uncle Xie, am I really that amazing?" Li Kaixin scratched his head.

Director Xie laughed heartily: "Isn't that impressive? You're practically the face of our station now."

"Alright! Old Xie."

Station Chief Zhao interrupted him, then said with concern, "Kaixin, you've been working hard for days. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest!"

"Stationmaster, I really do have something to do!" Li Kaixin said somewhat embarrassedly, "How much did the gas cost for the trip back from Inner Mongolia? I brought back quite a lot of stuff this time."

"Oh, how much did you bring?" Director Xie asked, intrigued.

In the past, even if the experienced workers at the transportation station brought back several hundred kilograms of goods, they never specifically asked him about it.

Li Kaixin smiled awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

Station Chief Zhao also became curious, and after exchanging a glance with Director Xie.

Director Xie said, "Kaixin, we'd like to see how much you brought back."

Afterwards, the two of them left the office with Li Kaixin.

Outside the office, Master Chen, Zhou Zhiming, and Song Hai were waiting together.

Upon seeing his master emerge, Zhou Zhiming immediately ran up: "Master, you're finally..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie behind him and immediately stammered, "Station Chief Zhao, Director Xie, why are you both out here?"

"Don't be nervous, is this your happy apprentice Zhiming?" Director Xie greeted with a smile, "Come on, let's go see your master's spoils."

"Oh, okay!" Zhou Zhiming replied.

The group arrived at Li Kaixin's car, and when they saw the back of the car, Station Master Zhao and Director Xie both gasped in shock.

Inside the carriage, dozens of sacks and bundles were neatly stacked. Among the items that could be seen were mutton, bundles of sheepskin, and various dairy products.

"This...this..." Director Xie turned to look at Li Kaixin, stammering, "Kaixin, did you bring back everything from an entire brigade?"

"Uncle Xie, how is this possible!"

Li Kaixin quickly waved his hand, "Some of these came from hunting, and yesterday afternoon I spent half a day seeing patients at a brigade, and my herder friends gave me some as well. The rest came from my apprentice."

"See patients?" Station Chief Zhao asked, somewhat surprised.

"Stationmaster, you have no idea how skilled my master is in medicine!"

Zhou Zhiming immediately chimed in, "Several people fainted on the road this time, and my master saved them all. Even Risu's brother's leg, which was practically useless, was restored to normal function with just one act from my master!"

After saying that, he gestured to Station Chief Zhao, as if afraid that he wouldn't understand.

Seeing Zhou Zhiming's anxious look, both Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie laughed.
