Chapter 20 The first task

Sure enough, when Mr. Ba heard that it was someone brought by Wang Qingyou, he didn't chase him away.

"Since you are familiar with her, you two can stay with me from now on."

Mr. Ba took the two of them into a room.

Wang Qingyou didn't expect that there was a very large sand table inside with a lot of lines drawn on it.

Mr. Ba flattened the sand and found a point in the center. "This is where our escort agency is located. Going from here is the county town..."

The Eighth Master spread out the terrain of Yuncheng in detail and constructed it in Wang Qingyou's mind bit by bit.

When working in the escort agency, going out is a very common thing.

What they need to plan is which route is safe and fast, so writing down the route becomes something they must do.

The route drawn by Mr. Ba was even more detailed than the maps sold in bookstores. He warned of all the dangerous sections of the road and places where bandits were likely to appear.

Wang Qingyou nodded continuously as he listened.

"Today we have received a shipment of goods worth thousands of pounds to be transported from the Zhang family in the east city to the Yu family in the west city. There are only four of us and we have to arrive within two hours. How do you think we should go?" Master Ba asked Wang Qingyou.

Wang Qingyou pointed directly with her hand and said, "Find a carriage and go directly from here. Two hours is more than enough."

The Eighth Master's face was filled with black lines, and Zhang San quickly said, "Qingyou, the Eighth Master just said that horses and carriages are not allowed to pass through this section of the road."

Wang Qingyou scratched his head, "Why don't we take this good road?"

She looked at Mr. Ba with a guilty conscience. Although she tried hard to understand, she was a person with poor direction. If the direction changed randomly, she would not be able to tell the directions.

Mr. Ba stared at her, wishing he could eat her up. It seemed like he had just said so much, but in the end, she didn't listen to a single word he said.

"Master Ba, how about I give it a try?" Zhang San interrupted his gaze.

Mr. Ba nodded perfunctorily.

"We can first transport the goods here by horse-drawn carriage, then hire a few workers to transport the goods to the ship, and then hire people to load them onto the carriage. Although it will cost some money, it will definitely be in time."

Wang Qingyou was a little confused, "Why not go around here?"

Zhang San took a look at Mr. Ba's expression and saw that he was indeed glaring and puffing his beard.

"There are often bandits here, so it's not appropriate to walk here." Zhang San quickly explained to her.

Wang Qingyou said, "Oh," and smiled, "I really didn't notice this."

"It's not that you didn't notice this, it's that you didn't take anything to heart." Mr. Ba said unhappily.

Wang Qingyou chuckled.

Mr. Ba didn't want to see her anymore, and all the love he had for her in the morning was gone.

Mr. Ba asked about a few more routes, and Zhang San answered them one by one. It seemed that the answers made Mr. Ba very satisfied.

"This kid is really good." Zhang San received a compliment from Mr. Ba.

"Well, when are we going to eat? I'm a little hungry." Wang Qingyou raised his hand and answered weakly.

Mr. Ba also felt a little thirsty. After saying so many words, he broke up the sand table and led everyone out.

The escort agency has a special canteen. If you eat there, you can eat as much as you want for ten coins. The price is a bit expensive for ordinary people, but it is okay for people who make money in the escort agency. After all, there is meat every meal, and the quantity is not small. In the afternoon, Wang Qingyou drew another map with Mr. Ba. She felt drowsy after reading it, and she closed her eyes and didn't care about anything.

"Eighth Master, the weather is getting cold. I'll cover Qingyou with a piece of clothing." Zhang San interrupted the chattering Eighth Master.

It's normal for her to be unstable at her age, and it's normal for her to be unable to sit still. Don't be angry, don't be angry.

Mr. Ba comforted himself in his heart.

The problem is, what's the point of getting angry? It seems that I may not be able to beat her if we fight. Although she doesn't remember the way, she brought in someone who knows the way.

Go to sleep, just don't lose anything.

Mr. Ba pretended that he saw nothing.

After a contented sleep, Wang Qingyou opened her eyes and it was time to get off work. She felt that her life was so beautiful.

She stepped out of the escort agency refreshed and a gentle voice called her.

"Miss, please stay." Wang Qingyou knew that she was the only woman in the escort agency. She turned sideways and saw that the person who called her was actually a beautiful woman. The setting sun cast a faint glow on her.

"Who are you?" She didn't remember knowing such a pretty girl.

Su Mengsha was holding a basket of snacks in her hand.

"Thank you for your generosity yesterday. I have nothing to repay you with. I can only make some snacks. Please don't despise me."

Looking at the woman's bright eyes, Wang Qingyou covered her mouth with his hands. She looked much more familiar at this glance. Wasn't she the dancer from yesterday?

She waved her hand, "I just can't stand them bullying others, you don't have to come and thank me specially."

"I have to thank you. If my mother hadn't been sick and needed money, I wouldn't have come to that point. If you hadn't helped me, I don't know how I would have gotten out of this situation. Please don't despise me. If you think it tastes good, come and find me in Heyun Alley. My name is Su Mengsha, you can find me by asking someone."

Before Wang Qingyou could respond, Su Mengsha had already left.

Zhang San picked up the basket and said, "I can't waste the girl's kindness."

After returning home, Li Wu prepared the pot. He knew that Wang Qingyou liked to eat this. Today was her first day at work, so naturally he had to celebrate.

Wang Guihua also hugged Wang Yuxiao and asked, "How do you feel today? Are you tired there? Are those people easy to get along with? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Wang Qingyou answered them one by one, "I felt pretty good today. I didn't feel tired at all there. I took a long nap in the afternoon. As for those people, they seemed easy to get along with for now."

Wang Guihua heaved a sigh of relief after Wang Qingyou said that, and took out a set of clothes. "I made a set of clothes for you today. Try it on to see if it fits you. I made the hem of your skirt tighter at the wrist so that you won't be hindered by the clothes and it will be more comfortable."

Wang Qingyou took the clothes and tried them on herself. It seemed to fit her well. The clothes were a simple gray color, so she was quite satisfied with it.

"Thank you, mother." Wang Qingyou said.

Wang Guihua touched her head. Her daughter was not even as tall as her, but she had already taken on the responsibility of supporting the family. All she could do was take care of her daughter's daily life.

The next day, Wang Qingyou was stopped by Mr. Ba when she walked into the escort agency wearing new clothes.

"I just received a shipment and I need you to deliver it."

Wang Qingyou nodded, "What kind of stuff?"
