Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 43
Although only half a year has passed, the mood of the dart walk is quite different this time.

Zhao Ya was just an inconspicuous traveler when he walked the darts last time, but now he has become a dart master in his own right.

Especially when walking on the official road, passing merchants couldn't help but look surprised and envious when they saw Zhao Ya walking in the middle of the bodyguard team.

After all, escorts have seen a lot, but there are not many young ones like Zhao Ya.

If it were someone else, it would be unavoidable to be a little smug at the moment.

But instead of showing the slightest complacency, Zhao Ya became more and more cautious.

After all, this is his first time walking darts independently, so there is no room for loss.

At the same time, Zhao Ya also keenly observed that there seemed to be more refugees on the official road.

Ragged people are everywhere.

They gathered in groups of three or five, with dull faces and haggard faces, wandering around the official road like walking corpses.

Zhao Ya's heart tightened, he knew that there must be another disaster, otherwise there would not be so many refugees.

And there are only two fates waiting for these refugees, either directly buried in the belly of wild beasts, or starved to death before being devoured by wild dogs.

Recalling the descriptions of the famine in the history books that he had read before, Zhao Ya couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart.

This is a sign of chaos.

Seeing the whole leopard at a glance, this vast Yan is obviously like an old man in his twilight years, already dying of illness.

Under such circumstances, the only thing Zhao Ya can do is to maintain a cautious and low-key attitude, but at the same time, he must be prepared to face challenges.

After all, sometimes nothing would happen if you weren't cautious, especially in this troubled world, sometimes you would violently kill someone just for an inconspicuous or even ridiculous motive, not to mention that you were carrying a dart Team.

really.

After walking not far, about thirty or forty miles away from the city, a messy team appeared on the official road ahead.

The clothes of these people are very tattered, but they are better than those of the refugees. At least they are not so skinny, and there is still some light in their eyes.

The few leading people were even more burly, with rusty weapons in their hands, and they were asking for money from the small merchants passing by.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ya immediately raised his vigilance and winked at the people behind him.

These trippers are also all ready.

Tan Dong blushed even more excitedly, and rushed over just waiting for Zhao Ya's order.

But at this moment, these people couldn't help but be taken aback when they saw Zhao Ya's bodyguard team, especially the bodyguard flags hanging on the bodyguard car, and then took the initiative to get out of the way.

Zhao Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the crowd through.

After walking away, Zhao Ya turned his head and glanced at these people, the brilliance in his eyes flickered slightly.

If you read correctly, the weapons in the hands of the leaders are only available in the army.

And they all have obvious traces of training.

This shows that they are not farmers who cultivate the land, but are probably deserters in the army.

Reminiscent of the news he heard some time ago, saying that several counties in the south had already started fighting, Zhao Ya deduced that these deserters should have come from the south.

This is not good news.

However, these deserters were not fools. They didn't stop them when they saw their escort car, but instead took the initiative to get out of the way.

At this time, Zhao Ya finally felt how valuable the signboard of Changlong Escort was.

Because Meng Lei, a martial artist of the Three Realms, is in town, within a radius of one or two hundred miles, no matter whether it is a bandit occupying the mountain as king or a deserter crossing the border, he has to give face.

It can be seen that only strength is the foundation of survival in troubled times.

After passing this barrier, the further you go down, the more shocking the scene you will see.

Refugees are entrenched on the side of the road, and some people look at the passing merchants with eyes like hungry wolves, as if they can choose someone to eat at any time.

But most still sat there numbly, then fell down without a sound, never getting up again.

This situation made these tourists who were originally excited also a little nervous.

Tan Dong couldn't help but stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "Boss, why are there so many refugees?"

After going out, Tan Dong very consciously changed his address from Brother Zhao to Tou.

"What? Scared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I feel a little panicked."

Speaking of this, Tan Dong's face was a little dignified, and he turned his eyes to the people on the side of the road, "Especially after seeing that there are many children inside, I always feel a little panicked."

Zhao Ya was silent.

Why didn't he see this scene?

But Zhao Ya knew that there was nothing he could do at the moment, so he could only pat Tan Dong on the shoulder.

"Don't think so much, this is beyond our control, let's go!"

Everyone was a little silent for the rest of the journey. In the evening, they arrived at the inn where they stayed a few years ago.

The inn was still open, but it was a little dilapidated and lifeless.

It wasn't until Zhao Ya and others arrived that the inn finally gained some popularity.

The clerk greeted the guests courteously, while the shopkeeper came to Zhao Ya and said with a smile on his face.

"This is Escort Zhao, he is indeed young and heroic, please come in quickly."

Zhao Ya smiled, "You're welcome, prepare a small courtyard for us first."

"Don't worry, I don't need your orders, I have already prepared."

Zhao Ya nodded.

It's good to live in a familiar inn. You don't need to order many things, and the other party has already prepared them.

After setting up the escort car first, after dinner, Zhao Ya assigned the night watchman, and then called the shopkeeper to chat.

"I see that the inn is empty, and there are not many guests."

"Alas." The shopkeeper sighed, and said with a bitter face: "Nowadays there are wars everywhere, people can't even eat enough, who is willing to spend money to stay in the shop?"

"Is the south getting more and more chaotic now?"

Zhao Ya knew that shopkeepers of this kind of shop were generally well-informed, so he couldn't help asking.

"Well, I heard that Linhai County and Wanshou County are already at war, and the surrounding counties are also ready to move. Those rich and powerful are gearing up, but it's hard for us people." The shopkeeper sighed.

Zhao Ya chatted with the shopkeeper for a few more words before resting.

There was nothing to say all night, and Zhao Ya and his party set off again after the restaurant bill was settled in the early morning of the next day.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and we arrived at Hekou Town in the evening.

Last time Zhao Ya didn't come because he stayed in the inn to take care of Wei Yu, but this time Zhao Ya found that Hekou Town was very lively.

Because it is adjacent to the mouth of the Sancha River, merchants come and go constantly, so the business here is very prosperous.

The Hong family in the inner city of Wuxiang City set up a bank account here.

Zhao Ya and his team came to the bank, handed over the dart tickets, and took inventory of the goods. After the transaction was completed, the shopkeeper of the bank delivered the silver to Zhao Ya, loaded it into the car and sealed it.

It's already late at night after all this work.

The shopkeeper of the Hong Family Bank was pretty good, he arranged a few rooms for Zhao Ya and others to live in, and brought meals.

Although he was still in the bank, Zhao Ya still did not dare to take it lightly, and still sent people to watch the night in batches.
