Chapter 7: First Escort, Experience in the Martial Arts World

The next day.

Zhao Ya received a notice as soon as he arrived at the escort agency. Today, he, Wei Yu, Luo Feng, and Zhou Hua will escort under the leadership of escort master Luo Qiang.

This is the first time that Zhao Ya and his four people have escorted since they joined the escort agency. It is also a test for them.

Zhao Ya didn't feel anything about this, but Wei Yu and others were very excited, especially Luo Feng, the youngest, who was eager to try and wanted to leave now.

"When are we going to leave? Hurry up, otherwise it will be noon." Luo Feng said impatiently.

Escort master Luo Qiang's face sank when he heard this, "Asshole, escorting is not a joke. The preparations are not finished yet, how can you leave just like that?"

Luo Feng was scolded and grinned, and hurriedly bowed his head to admit his mistake, "I'm sorry, second uncle, I was too anxious."

It turned out that Luo Feng and this escort master Luo Qiang were uncle and nephew.

This situation is actually common in Changlong and major escort agencies. After all, brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together.

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

For example, now Luo Feng was scolded by his second uncle, and he didn't 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 slightly relieved, and said in a gentle voice.

"Three, this is your first time to escort, so I will tell you the precautions in advance, I hope you don't think I'm too long-winded."

Although Wei Yu, Zhao Ya and others are only errand boys in the escort agency now, everyone knows that this is only temporary.

After all, the escort agency has spent so much effort to train them, and its purpose is naturally not just to let them be a porter in the future.

It can be said that if nothing unexpected happens, the four of them will definitely become escorts of Changlong Escort Agency in the future, so even Luo Qiang spoke very politely.

"How could it be, it is our honor that Escort Luo is willing to teach us, please teach us."

Without waiting for Zhao Ya and Zhou Hua to respond, Wei Yu took the lead and spoke, as if he had represented Zhao Ya and others in his words.

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 escorting for many years. Every word he said was valuable experience and could save lives at critical moments.

Zhao Ya said so, and Zhou Hua next to him was even calmer.

"Well, then I'll tell you." Luo Qiang was also very satisfied with the attitude of Wei Yu and others.

"This escort is to escort a batch of goods for the Dejitang Pharmacy in the city to Wujiaying, 80 miles outside the city."

"This distance is not close, nor is it far. According to our walking speed, it will take at least two days to go back and forth, which means we have to spend a night outside the city."

"Although there are no bandits within 70 or 80 miles outside the city, you still can't be careless, especially since you are all newcomers escorting for the first time, so I have to say ugly words in advance."

"I will be the leader on the road, and everything will be subject to my orders. You cannot leave the team without permission, and you cannot talk to strangers casually. If you violate it, you will be punished. Do you understand?" Luo Qiang said sternly.

Zhao Ya and the other three were awed and clasped their fists together.

"I understand."

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

"Although this is only a short convoy 70 or 80 miles out of the city, it is better to be safe than sorry, especially in this increasingly chaotic world. You must be doubly careful."

"And not just outside the city, you must be alert when you meet the following types of people in the martial arts world."

Zhao Ya immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively, fearing that he would miss a word.

Because he knew that what Luo Qiang was going to say next must be the valuable experience accumulated over the years.

"First of all, monks and Taoists. These monks often have strange abilities. Don't provoke them if you can avoid them."

"The second is women, especially beautiful women. You should be more careful when you see them, because in this chaotic world, a beautiful woman who dares to show up proves that she must have extraordinary abilities."

"In addition, there are all unreasonable people, such as suddenly encountering a child in the wilderness. At this time, no matter what he says, you should not hesitate and run quickly, because even adults dare not enter such places, so how can a child suddenly appear?"

Zhao Ya deeply agrees with what Luo Qiang said.

After all, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. When you encounter unreasonable people and things, the best way is to stay away from them as soon as possible.

Haven't you seen that those who die the fastest in horror movies are those who are full of curiosity?

"Okay, that's about it. Now you pack up your belongings and we'll set off."

"Yes!"

The escort car was ready. Soon, Zhao Ya and the other four 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 Wuxiang City, Luo Qiang opened his bag, pulled out the escort flag inside, and hung it on the escort car in front.

The escort flag embroidered with the four big characters of Changlong Escort Agency fluttered in the wind, which was very imposing.

Luo Feng was very excited.

After leaving the city, his eyes never stopped, and he kept looking around.

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

"Is this what it means to travel the world?"

Then he came to Zhao Ya's side, "Hey, Brother Zhao, have you ever been out of the city?"

Zhao Ya shook his head.

His predecessor should have been out before, but this was his first time.

"Hehe, this is my first time too. My family is very strict and never lets me go out of the city. If it weren't for my second uncle taking me out this time, I guess they wouldn't let me out." Luo Feng kept talking.

Zhao Ya didn't bother to pay attention to him. He walked and observed the surroundings, and the scene he saw also shocked him.

Most of the fields beside the road were bare.

Corpses could 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 it wasn't long since he left the city.

Just as he was wondering, Zhou Hua, who had been on his way since leaving the city, suddenly said.

"This is all done by refugees."

"Huh?" Zhao Ya turned his head and looked at him.

Zhou Hua continued, "Last year, several nearby counties suffered from floods. Only Yunxiao County was spared because of the presence of a master, so this year, the victims of these counties all ran here."

"The reason why these fields you see are barren is that the crops have been eaten up by the victims who fled here."

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

Zhao Ya's heart tightened when he heard this.

Two months ago, when he first crossed over to this world, he heard some rumors, but at that time he was busy practicing and didn't pay attention to them.
