After several days of arduous struggle, the two groups, originally separated by the road, finally managed to reunite. With everyone's concerted efforts, braving all odds and obstacles, the road, ruthlessly destroyed by the fierce mountain torrent, was finally restored to its original state! It was even smoother and wider than before.

When the last stone was firmly embedded in the gap in the road, the crowd erupted in deafening cheers. These cheers seemed to pierce the sky, echoing through the valley. Some people were so excited that they dropped their tightly grasped tools, hugged their companions tightly, and patted each other's shoulders vigorously to express their uncontrollable joy. Others, like deflated balls, collapsed on the muddy ground, staring straight at their hands, which were already covered with blisters of various sizes, with a strange expression on their faces, neither crying nor smiling. However, no matter what their expression, everyone present at this moment was extremely excited, because the reopening of this road meant so much...

At that moment, Shopkeeper Yang stepped forward and shouted, "Brother officers, please take these folks who have come to perform labor and provide assistance back to the city. I promise you all will come to our Yang's Warehouse in three days to collect your dues."

Hearing this, the people nodded in agreement. After all, the Yang Family Warehouse had always been reputable and trustworthy in Rain City. It was still early, and if they hurried back, they could still catch up with their families for dinner.

Afterwards, under the orderly leadership of the yamen runners, the people began to evacuate the scene in an orderly manner. The runners themselves were eager to return to the county office and report back to the magistrate. After all, the road repair work had progressed so smoothly, and as participants, they naturally played an indispensable role!

Then Manager Yang instructed the guys at the Yang family warehouse to clean up the mess and pack up their things and go back. He followed Yang Wu and the caravan back to the camp to prepare to welcome Team Leader Yang to Yucheng.

Before long, everyone quickly descended the mountain and returned to the camp smoothly. At this time, someone had already rushed to inform Team Leader Yang.

Meanwhile, Team Leader Yang was enthusiastically playing chess with Father Zhu. You know, for the past few days, Team Leader Yang had become completely captivated by this little world of chess. Whenever he had a moment's free time, he'd beg Father Zhu to play chess like a piece of taffy. Father Zhu was deeply moved by this, as he deeply understood Yu Bo's frustration when he was pestered.

At this moment, Team Leader Yang excitedly shouted, "General!" This sudden move made Father Zhu frown. After a moment's thought, Father Zhu shook his head helplessly and said, "Oh, you win." Upon hearing this, Team Leader Yang's face immediately showed a smug smile, and he did not forget to respond modestly, "Thank you very much."

Seeing Team Leader Yang's ecstatic expression, Father Zhu couldn't help but chuckle and tease, "You've made such rapid progress lately! You're practically catching up." Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a sudden commotion erupted from outside. Team Leader Yang looked up and muttered to himself, "From the sound of it, it sounds like the road builders are back. But why are they back so early today? Could it be that the road is already finished?" Father Zhu, standing nearby, nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I think that's very likely."

After all, during this period, Yu Bo and Wang Xiangdong reported to us the progress of road construction every day, so it was hard not to know.

As he was speaking, the person who came to report the news rushed towards this side like an arrow from a bow.

Before he could even gain a firm foothold, he couldn't wait to shout loudly: "Leader! Leader! The road is finally repaired! We can go home!" His voice was filled with irrepressible excitement and joy, as if this was a long-awaited piece of great news.

He was talking about going home, not Rain City. This meant they could truly return to their familiar city and reunite with their long-lost family. According to past custom, they should have been back in the city by now, enjoying the warmth and affection of their families.

Upon hearing this exciting news, Team Leader Yang's face immediately lit up with a brilliant smile. He waved his hand and said proudly, "Haha, that's great! In that case, let Yang San prepare a sumptuous and delicious meal for everyone tonight, as a reward for their hard work over the past few days. Afterwards, everyone should have a comfortable night's rest and refresh themselves. Tomorrow morning, we'll set off!"

"Okay! Got it! sir!" After receiving the order, the messenger turned around and left happily again. His steps were as light as the wind and he disappeared from people's sight in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Team Leader Yang turned around, a look of concern on his face, and asked Father Zhu beside him, "Doctor Zhu, considering my physical condition, it should be okay for me to lie down in the carriage and travel tomorrow, right?"

Father Zhu smiled and nodded, comforting him, "As long as the road is flat and the carriage isn't too bumpy, you'll be fine. Don't worry, I'll be by your side taking care of you along the way, so don't worry."
