Chapter 494 Returning with a Full Load

He Yushui calmed down a little, a slightly sly smile appeared on his face, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Jianguo:

"But, Brother Jianguo, I have to be honest with you. The money for the watch was indeed given to me by you. I am just offering you something in return. Please don't despise me. Just consider it as a token of my appreciation, okay?"

As He Yushui spoke, she clasped her hands together and made a playful look as if begging for forgiveness. She stared at Wang Jianguo without blinking, waiting for his response.

Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui's quirky and considerate appearance, and the pretended blame in his heart had long since disappeared, replaced by full of emotion and relief.

He shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he said softly:

"Girl, you only know how to talk. Okay, I'll accept your kindness."

When He Yushui heard this, he immediately cheered and clapped his hands excitedly:

"That's great, Brother Jianguo, I knew you wouldn't blame me!"

At this moment, the air around seemed to be infected by this warm scene, filled with a strong atmosphere of friendship and joy.

The warm winter sun lazily sprinkled on the streets of the small town. Wang Jianguo stood on the street with a relieved smile on his face and his eyes slightly narrowed.

He looked at He Yushui gently, his voice filled with genuine gratitude.

"Thank you, Rainwater. You are so thoughtful and have helped me a lot! We must hurry up and rush to the train station. The train doesn't wait for anyone. Don't delay its departure."

After saying that, Wang Jianguo leaned over and picked up the large and small bags bought by He Yushui with his rough and broad hands.

Those bags were colorful and filled to the brim with local specialties for relatives, dry food for the journey, and some miscellaneous daily necessities. They looked bulging, and it seemed they were quite heavy.

Wang Jianguo lifted these things steadily, the veins on his arms bulged slightly, showing some signs of exertion.

He adjusted his posture so that the weight of the bag was more evenly distributed, and strode towards the train station.

Seeing that Wang Jianguo had taken a step ahead, He Yushui hurriedly shook her two braids and started running in small steps, her cloth shoes clacking on the stone road.

Her face was flushed, partly because she had run so fast, and partly because she felt warm in her heart for being able to help.

He Yushui caught up with Wang Jianguo in a few steps and followed behind him, glancing at the bags from time to time, fearing that something would be left behind.

The two figures walked away, leaving only the sound of their conversation and footsteps, echoing slowly in the streets of this small town, running towards the train station, as if carrying with them a longing for a distant place and an eagerness to return home.

When Wang Jianguo and He Yushui finally arrived at the train station after rushing all the way, the square in front of the station was already bustling with people. The morning light penetrated the thin clouds and sprinkled on the mottled ground, with light and shadow interlaced.

The crowd is flowing continuously, some are in a hurry, some are stopping to wait, and the noisy voices and the sound of rolling suitcases are intertwined to form a unique symphony in front of the station.

Cheng Hai's tall figure stood out in the crowd. He stood upright near the exit, his eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time, revealing a bit of anxiety and expectation.

He had been waiting here for a long time. The biting cold wind made his cheeks red and the corners of his clothes rustled, but he was completely unaware.

He was looking forward to the arrival of Wang Jianguo and the others. As time passed, every time he looked around and saw nothing, he became more anxious.

After finally waiting for Wang Jianguo and He Yushui to show up, Cheng Hai immediately walked up to them, a bright smile instantly breaking out on his face.

While greeting him warmly, he quickly took the heavy package from Wang Jianguo's hand. After a few pleasantries, the three of them walked towards the platform together.

This train is a temporarily added service and few people pay attention to it on normal days.

When they arrived at the platform, they found that there were indeed very few passengers in the carriage. A few sparse people were scattered everywhere, some with their eyes closed to rest, or staring out the window in a daze.

As I stepped into the car, an old smell hit me in the face. The leather covers on the seats were worn in some places, revealing the dark yellow sponge inside, and the window glass was also covered with a light layer of water stains and dust.

With a long whistle, the train started slowly. At first there was only a slight vibration, and then it gradually accelerated.

But even so, the train is still moving very slowly, like an old and frail traveler staggering on the rails.

The wheels collided with the rails, making a rhythmic "clang clang" sound, monotonous and dull, and could be heard far away in the silent night.

Inside the carriage, the lights were dim and swayed as the train swayed, and the light and shadows flickered on the faces of the three people.

Wang Jianguo leaned back in his seat, his eyes slightly closed, his face showing a bit of fatigue. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious under the light and shadow. His hands were folded on his abdomen, moving occasionally as the train shook.

He Yushui sat by the window with her eyes wide open, looking curiously at the dark night outside the window. The occasional flash of lights caused her to utter a soft exclamation.

Cheng Hai sat on the other side of the aisle, chatting with Wang Jianguo and He Yushui from time to time. His words were full of descriptions and longings for the Great Northern Wilderness, trying to dispel everyone's tiredness from the journey.

In this way, the train swayed forward in the night. The night outside the window was as dark as ink, with only dotted lights dotted in between.

After a night of traveling, the three were exhausted, but they were still looking forward to their destination and trying to keep their spirits up.

Finally, when a hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky and the day was just getting light, the train slowly pulled into the platform of Beidahuang.

Outside the car window, a vast expanse of land came into view, with rolling mountains in the distance, looming in the morning mist.

There are large tracts of farmland nearby. The uncultivated land is shiny black and covered with thick white snow.

Wang Jianguo, He Yushui and Cheng Hai were cheered up, and quickly packed their luggage, stepping out of the car with slightly heavy but expectant steps.

On the eve of departure for the Great Northern Wilderness, Wang Jianguo was fully aware of the importance of carrying supplies on this trip, as well as the urgent need for timely handover and proper placement after arrival, so he got busy early.

He contacted the train station in advance. On the other end of the line, Wang Jianguo's voice was steady and clear:

"Hello, my name is Wang Jianguo. I have something to ask you to pass on. I have a lot of important materials on this train, which are to be transported to the Great Northern Wilderness to support construction."

"Please be sure to find security guard Zhang Lei and ask him to notify Zhao Shuzhuo and others to arrive at the train station in advance to prepare for the delivery. Don't let anything go wrong. I'm counting on you for everything!"
