Chapter 7: First time escorting, experience in the world

The next day.

As soon as Zhao Ya arrived at the escort agency, he received a notice that today he, Wei Yu, Luo Feng, and Zhou Hua would go on a escort trip under the leadership of escort master Luo Qiang.

This is the first time Zhao Ya and the four of them have been escorting since they joined the escort agency, and it can also be regarded as a test for them.

Zhao Ya didn't feel much about this, but Wei Yu and others were very excited, especially the youngest Luo Feng, who looked eager to start now.

"When should we set off? Hurry up, otherwise it will be noon later." Luo Feng said impatiently.

The escort Luo Qiang's face sank when he heard this, "Damn, escorting is not a child's play. The preparations have not been completed, how can you just leave?"

Luo Feng grinned at being scolded and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake, "I'm sorry, uncle, I was too anxious."

It turns out that Luo Feng and the bodyguard Luo Qiang are uncle-nephew.

This kind of situation is actually not uncommon in Changlong and other major escort bureaus. After all, brothers fight tigers, and father and son fight in battle.

In this world, the kinship relationship is much closer than in the later generations that Zhao Ya lived in.

For example, now that Luo Feng was scolded by his second uncle, he didn't even dare to say a word.

After scolding his nephew Luo Feng, Luo Qiang turned to look at Wei Yu, Zhao Ya, and Zhou Hua, his expression softened slightly and he spoke warmly.

"You three, this is your first time escorting, so I'll tell you some precautions in advance. I hope you don't find me verbose."

Although Wei Yu, Zhao Ya and others are still just handymen in the escort agency, everyone knows that this is only temporary.

After all, the escort agency has put so much effort into cultivating them, and its purpose is naturally not just to let them serve as prostitutes in the future.

It can be said that if nothing happens, the four of them will definitely become the escorts of Changlong Escort Bureau in the future, so even Luo Qiang is very polite when he speaks.

"How could it be? Master Luo is willing to teach us. This is our honor. Please enlighten us."

Without waiting for Zhao Ya and Zhou Hua to respond, Wei Yu took the lead in speaking, and his words seemed to represent Zhao Ya and others.

Zhao Ya was unmoved by this. In fact, he also wanted to listen to Luo Qiang's teachings. After all, this was an old escort who had been practicing escorts for many years. Every word he said was valuable experience and could save lives at critical moments.

Zhao Ya was like this, and Zhou Hua next to him looked even calmer.

"Okay, I'll say it then." Luo Qiang was also very satisfied with the attitude of Wei Yu and others.

"This escort is to escort a batch of goods to the Wu family camp eighty miles outside the city on behalf of Dejitang Pharmacy in the city."

"Whether this distance is close or far, according to our journey, it will take at least two days to go back and forth, which means we have to spend one night outside the city."

"Although there are no banditry strongmen within seventy or eighty miles outside the city, you still can't be careless, especially since you are all newcomers to the escort industry for the first time, so I have to say ugly things first."

"I am the leader on the road, and everything is subject to my orders. You are not allowed to leave the team without permission, and you are not allowed to talk to strangers. If there is any violation, you will be punished without mercy. Do you understand?" Luo Qiang said sternly.

The four people from Zhao Ya were awe-struck and clasped their fists together.

"I understand."

"Very good." Luo Qiang nodded, and his tone softened.

"Although this is just a close escort that goes out of the city for seventy or eighty miles, you must be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship. Especially in this world, which is getting more and more chaotic, you have to be even more careful."

"And not only outside the city, you must be vigilant when encountering the following types of people in the rivers and lakes in the future."

Zhao Ya immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.

Because he knew that what Luo Qiang said next must be the valuable experience accumulated over the years.

"The first is the monks. These monks often have strange abilities. If you can't provoke them, don't provoke them."

"The second thing is women, especially beautiful women. You should be more careful when you see them, because in this chaotic world, if a beautiful woman dares to show her face, it proves that she must have abilities that are different from ordinary people."

"Other than that, there are all irrational people. For example, if you suddenly meet a child in the wilderness, no matter what he says, don't hesitate and run away, because even adults dare not enter that kind of place. Why would a child suddenly appear?"

Zhao Ya deeply agreed with what Luo Qiang said.

After all, when things go awry, there must be monsters. When you encounter people and things that don't make sense, the best way is to stay away as soon as possible.

Haven't you seen those who die the fastest in horror movies are those who are extremely curious?

"Okay, that's about it. Now you can sort out the items you brought with you, and then we'll set off."

"yes!"

The escort car was already ready, and soon Zhao Ya and the four of them followed Luo Qiang out of the escort agency and headed out of the city under the envious eyes of the servants.

After leaving the gate of Dancing Elephant City, Luo Qiang opened his luggage, pulled out the escort flag inside, and hung it on the escort cart at the front.

The escort flag embroidered with the four characters "Changlong Escort Agency" was swinging in the wind, giving it a very powerful look.

Luo Feng was very excited.

After leaving the city, his eyes didn't stop, and he kept looking around.

When he saw the escort flag raised, he couldn't help but muttered.

"Is this walking around the world?"

Then he approached Zhao Ya and said, "Hey, Brother Zhao, have you been out of the city?"

Zhao Ya shook his head.

My predecessor should have gone out before, but this was my first time.

"Hehe, this is my first time too. My family is usually very strict and doesn't let me go out of the city at all. If my second uncle hadn't taken me with me this time, I probably wouldn't have been allowed to come out." Luo Feng chattered on.

Zhao Ya was too lazy to pay attention to him. He observed the surroundings as he walked, and what he saw frightened him.

I saw that most of the fields beside the road were bare.

Bodies can be seen from time to time in the ditches on both sides of the road.

He had heard people say that the situation outside the city was miserable, but he didn't expect it to be so miserable.

And he had just left the city not long ago.

When he was in a state of surprise, Zhou Hua, who had been rushing on in a muffled voice since leaving the city, suddenly said.

"This is all done by refugees."

"Huh?" Zhao Ya turned to look at him.

Zhou Hua continued: "Last year, several nearby counties and cities were hit by floods. Only Yunxiao County was spared because there were experts in charge. So this year, all the victims from these counties and cities came here."

"The fields you see are barren because the crops have been eaten up by the flood victims."

Speaking of this, Zhou Hua snorted, "And the scene you see now is much better. At least most of the corpses are buried. A few months ago, corpses were everywhere here. It was a hellish scene."

Zhao Ya's heart tightened upon hearing this.

He heard some rumors when he first traveled to this world two months ago, but he was busy practicing at the time and didn't pay attention to them.
