Shen Danru's heart was filled with alarm bells, and her hand trembled so much that she almost dropped the food. Qin Shuangyue seemed easy to get along with, but she didn't expect her to have such a fierce personality.
At this moment, she dared not move, staring wide-eyed at the gleaming sword, truly afraid that Qin Shuangyue might accidentally slit her throat.
She stammered and quickly explained, "Sister, this...this dish isn't...it's not poisonous. I'll eat it and show you."
A burst of laughter came from the guards nearby: "Hey Shuangyue, look how scared you've made that young man, you little shrew! Even if you don't want to eat, don't do this!"
"That's right, little brother, don't be afraid, she just likes to joke around."
...
Escorts travel the world year-round and have seen all sorts of people. This young man is timid like a girl, not like someone who would harm others.
Qin Shuangyue sheathed her sword, her eyes sparkling with affection, and slightly parted her lips: "But my sister likes it."
Shen Danru took a deep breath, blushing as she handed the food to Qin Shuangyue.
Seeing Qin Shuangyue take the food, she immediately ran away.
This provoked another burst of laughter from the bodyguards.
Back in the carriage, Shen Dan felt a chill: Could Qin Shuangyue be a lesbian?
Qin Shuangyue shoveled a mouthful of food into her mouth. In this wilderness, she didn't expect it to be delicious; she just wanted something to fill her stomach.
However, her eyes changed after the first bite. This was really delicious, and she couldn't help but shovel rice into her mouth.
The bodyguards nearby, seeing how much she enjoyed her food, all gathered around to watch.
"This food is really alright, can I have a bite?"
Seeing them all crowding around, Qin Shuangyue didn't have time to say anything. She carried her food and ate as she walked, eventually sitting down under a big tree.
The group swallowed hard, and suddenly the steamed buns in their hands no longer tasted so good.
Seeing Qin Shuangyue wolf down her food and finish it in no time, they had no choice but to resign themselves to sitting down and silently eating their steamed buns.
Well, it seems impossible to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
After finishing her bowl, Qin Shuangyue felt unsatisfied and walked up to Shen Danru, asking, "Is there any more?"
"Yes, yes, I'll serve you some right away."
Seeing Qin Shuangyue return to the tree with the bowl, the group exchanged glances and couldn't help but step forward: "Young man, is there any more?"
The food smelled so good that they couldn't resist it themselves; it was their guts that couldn't resist.
"There are still a few brothers here, but I don't have enough bowls."
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards scurried off to their respective caravans to get bowls, fearing that if they returned late, the delicious food would be snatched up by others.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Rewards include 20 experience points, 100 points, a sword for self-defense, and a master key that can unlock hundreds of locks."
With Qin Shuangyue making up the group of five, there were still more than a dozen people in the caravan who didn't trust Shen Danru. They would rather eat steamed buns than let anything happen to the escort agency.
The ease with which she earned points made Shen Danru very excited; she had 60 experience points and 262 points.
This system is so thoughtful! Knowing that it's not easy for them to survive in the wild, it even rewards them with a sword for self-defense.
Shen Danru couldn't help but play with it for a bit; Qingtan would definitely like it.
"Miss, is this for me?" Qingtan asked incredulously.
Shen Danru nodded.
The moment Qingtan took the sword, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she began to caress it with obvious affection.
After finishing their meal, the group from Qinglong Escort Agency felt refreshed and full of energy, and the fatigue from a day's journey had disappeared.
The group secretly wished they could mooch meals from that young man for the next few days.
The night sky was devoid of stars, with only a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.
A cool breeze rustled through the trees along the roadside, making a sound like a sonata.
Since Shen Danru had taken a nap during the day, she wasn't very sleepy at the moment. She told Qingtan to go to sleep in the carriage, while she kept watch by the campfire in the carriage.
At Qinglong Escort Agency, some staff members take turns working shifts, while the others are conserving their energy.
The night was very safe. In order to allow Qingtan to conserve her strength, Shen Danru instructed her not to switch shifts with him that night.
The next morning, before dawn, the Qinglong Escort Agency began preparing their carriages and horses and set off on their journey.
In just two days, Shen Danru had established a good relationship with the people from the Azure Dragon Escort Agency, and they ate all the meals prepared by Shen Danru along the way.
Therefore, Shen Danru's carriage also joined the Qinglong Escort Agency's team.
Upon learning that Shen Danru had indeed gone to Ningzhou to search for her relatives, they all offered to go to Ningzhou to inquire for her.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves startled Shen Danru from his nap.
Since the system upgrade, her sense of smell, taste, hearing, and even vision have become amazingly good.
Shen Danru lifted the curtain to remind Qingtan, and then shouted towards the Qinglong Escort Agency that there might be bandits nearby.
Everyone became alert and surrounded the caravan and Shen Danru's carriage.
"Miss, please don't get off the carriage."
Shen Danru was also very scared at this moment. She nodded and lowered the curtain. Going out would only be a burden to everyone, so it was better to stay in the carriage.
The sound of horses' hooves grew closer, and everyone prepared for battle.
Through the curtain, Shen Danru saw a group of men in black appear and, without giving Qinglong Escort Agency a chance to speak, immediately rush forward to kill them.
The man in black was extremely ruthless, with bizarre and cunning moves, each one potentially fatal. He didn't seem like an ordinary bandit.
It must be related to the goods they were escorting. Thinking that they might have been implicated by the Azure Dragon Escort Agency, Shen Danru regretted her actions. If she had known this would happen, she would have preferred to go on her own. She might have lost her life here by accident.
One of the burly men in black swung a large axe at Shen Danru's carriage, but fortunately Shen Danru reacted quickly and lay down on the carriage.
The horse was startled, neighed, and galloped forward.
The escort vehicle belonging to the Qinglong Escort Agency was also startled.
She was a young lady from a sheltered family; she had never seen anything like this before. She clung tightly to the carriage, afraid to move.
"Miss!"
Seeing this, Qingtan stopped fighting, knocked one of the men in black away, stole his horse, and chased after the carriage.
Then, the members of the Azure Dragon Escort Agency also panicked and chased after the caravan after knocking away several men in black.
Shen Danru clung to the front of the carriage, too afraid to move. Was she going to die here today? She had been reborn into loneliness.
When the carriages reached the edge of the cliff, the people behind were too late and watched helplessly as both carriages plunged off.
"Give me back my young lady!" Qingtan pointed her sword at the Qinglong Escort Agency members: "Our young lady has been implicated because of you. Today I will kill you all to avenge my young lady."
Qingtan swung her sword at the group, but the bodyguard barely dodged.
Miss?
So that handsome young man was actually a woman. No wonder he had such delicate skin.
When Shen Danru woke up again, it was three days later. She clung tightly to the car floor to save her life, and was then woken up by a system reminder to do a task.
