Chapter 11: Are people with fair skin like this? They easily leave marks.
Jiang Jie picked up the white crystals from the ashes, washed them clean with the water flowing around his fingertips, and then put them in his pocket.
This is the third one tonight.
In the wilderness at night, many alien creatures are lurking. When they finally see passers-by, they naturally want to devour them.
Jiang Jie didn't even have to look for it specifically, it just appeared on its own.
He stood there for a while, and when he didn't notice any more movement, he left.
In the distance, a motorhome with light shining through the windows appeared in sight, the only warm color in this silent night.
The place we stopped at was a gas station we passed by. We had just collected a few barrels of gasoline and decided to spend the night there.
There are some buildings around to block the view, so it is relatively safer.
Lin Mian was cooking noodles in the car. The sealed noodles were still edible, but the ingredients were limited and not as rich as before, especially without the green leafy vegetables. It always felt like something was missing.
But it still smells very fragrant. At this time, it is very good to have a bowl of noodles.
Hearing the sound of the car door opening, he turned his head and saw the man coming in. He smiled and said, "Brother Sae, you're back."
After they left City H, the other party would always act alone from time to time. He didn't know what he was doing and didn't ask much.
She just followed the man's instructions and stayed in the RV without getting out and running around.
"Yeah." Jiang Yan responded to him and turned to go to the bathroom to wash his hands and face.
After coming out, he said to the person who was serving him noodles, "We should be able to enter City Y tomorrow. If the situation is optimistic, we can stay for a few more days."
In the past two days, they passed through the city adjacent to H City but did not enter. The intensity of the previous earthquake is estimated to have affected the surrounding areas, and the situation there will not be very good.
As for Y City, there shouldn't be any big problems. You can go and take a look and collect some supplies.
Lin Mian, of course, had no objections and followed the other party's instructions. After nodding, he handed over the prepared noodles and said, "Eat something first."
Jiang Jie took it and went to the small table.
Lin Mian poured himself a small bowl of noodles and sat down. However, just as his butt touched the sofa, the man sitting opposite him suddenly looked up. He was stunned for a moment, "What..."
"Shh." Jiang Jie stopped him from talking, listened carefully again, and said, "A car is coming."
"Ah?" Lin Mian was stunned for a moment, and followed to listen, but heard nothing.
But if there really is a car, it is people who are approaching, not alien creatures.
"Don't worry about it," Jiang Jie picked up the chopsticks again, "Let's eat first."
Meeting a person at this time is not necessarily better than meeting an alien creature, but as long as the other party does not provoke him, he will not pay attention.
Seeing that he continued to eat noodles, Lin Mian withdrew his attention from outside and lowered his head to eat.
He had only taken a few bites of noodles when he heard the sound of a car approaching. In the dark night outside the car window, the light of the car lights was faintly visible.
Lin Mian glanced at Jiang Jie, who was as steady as a rock across from him, and said nothing.
The car seemed to have stopped outside. After the engine was turned off, there was the sound of the car door opening and closing, and then there was the sound of conversation. It seemed that there were at least two people.
After a while, he came up and knocked on the door of their RV.
Jiang Jie, who had finished his bowl of noodles, stood up and gestured to Lin Mian, who wanted to get up with him, to continue eating. He then went to the car door.
I opened the car door and saw a tall and strong man standing outside, who looked to be in his thirties, with a crew cut and a face that looked tough.
Seeing someone coming out, he smiled and looked a little gentler. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, "Brother, we are also planning to spend the night here, so I want to say hello to you."
Jiang Jie didn't take his cigarette. He looked him up and down without hesitation and said, "I don't smoke."
The man was in good spirits and didn't feel uncomfortable under his gaze. He put away his cigarette and said with a smile, "Okay, meeting is fate. If you need anything, you can come find us over there."
He raised his hand and pointed to where they parked.
Jiang Jie nodded indifferently.
The man turned and left. Before leaving, he glanced into the RV twice secretly. It didn't seem like he had any malicious intentions, just a bit of inquiry.
Jiang Yan watched him return to his car, where he met another man of similar build. Neither of them spoke. One turned around and got back into the car, while the other went to the gas station, probably to search for some supplies.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the nanny car with anti-peep film. There should be another person inside.
He looked away, closed the door and got back into the car.
Lin Mian had almost finished his meal. He had just heard the other party talking to the visitor, but he didn't see the man clearly. "Does he have any malicious intentions?"
"Not yet," Jiang Jie locked the car door, "but I'm not sure if it will always be gone."
Their RV is still very eye-catching at this time, and it is easy for people to explore whether there are any supplies hidden in the car, which in turn breeds greed.
But judging from the man's appearance just now, he might be worried that they might be some vicious people, so he came over to investigate.
There must be someone in that car who needs to be protected. The two men's figures and behavior seem to be martial artists, so they are most likely bodyguards.
Jiang Jie didn't care whether it was true or not. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, they could live in peace.
If he really had any evil thoughts... He raised his lips to smile, his eyes cold.
Jiang Jie and his team had already searched this gas station before, and there was nothing left in the convenience store. It was probably taken away by the employees during the chaos.
There was still quite a lot of gasoline. After Jiang Jie and his men filled a few barrels, there was still some left. The two men did not end up without gain.
In the nanny car, a young man in his early twenties sat with his arms folded, his expression unpleasant. "Is there no place to shower in this gas station?"
The man who had just returned to the car shook his head. "Maybe there's a broken pipe somewhere. There's no water coming out of the faucet."
The young man felt sticky after not having showered for days in this kind of weather. He frowned and glanced at the RV not far away. "They're in the car. There must be a bathroom, right?"
The two tall and strong men looked at each other.
Regardless of whether there is water or not, in this situation, water resources are very precious. Who would give it to a stranger? Even if they are given supplies, they may not be willing to do so.
The man who had just gone to greet him said, "The owner of the car doesn't seem easy to get along with. He probably won't lend it to you. Besides, they may not have any water left."
The young man was a little unhappy, but didn't say anything.
Although he has a bad temper, he is not stupid. He knows that he has to rely on the protection of these two bodyguards. He understands the difference between complaining and offending people.
It was just too hot today. He raised his hand to touch his neck and felt his skin radiating heat, which made his head hurt.
As the night deepened, the area around the gas station became extremely quiet; even the chirping of insects that should be heard in summer seemed inaudible.
In this environment, any movement can be heard clearly, especially for Jiang Jie, who has excellent five senses.
In the dim car, he opened his eyes, slowly sat up, and glanced in the direction of the sofa bed. Lin Mian's breathing was steady and he was sleeping soundly.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sound of someone banging on the car door broke the silence in the room, accompanied by shouts from outside the car, "Brother, brother, are you asleep?!"
Lin Mian, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sudden noise. He sat up suddenly, confused and panicked.
The car lights were turned on and he looked up.
Jiang Yan, who was wearing a black vest, had already walked over. Seeing his frightened look with disheveled hair, he reached out and rubbed his head before turning around to open the door.
Lin Mian came back to his senses after being touched by him. He raised his hand and pressed it on his chest to calm his heartbeat which had accelerated due to the shock.
Outside the car was the same man who had been there before, but this time his expression wasn't as calm. As soon as he saw him, he said, "Excuse me, do you have any fever-reducing medicine in the car? Our...brother is delirious with fever!"
Compared to his eagerness, Jiang Jie's expression was much calmer. He crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against the car wall, "Yes."
"Great!" The man was very surprised and said quickly, "Can you give me some? I'll exchange it for supplies!"
He didn't say anything about giving money. He is a smart man.
Jiang Jie raised his hand and clenched his fist, then covered his lips with his hands and yawned. Then he said slowly, "Okay, one for each of the three things."
After saying that, he bent down slightly again and looked at the person standing under the car who was shorter than him at eye level, "Don't be perfunctory with me."
Hearing his words, the man paused and said, "Can I have two for one?"
Jiang Jie stood up straight and said, "I don't have much medicine on hand, so I don't have to do this business."
The man was silent for two seconds, but finally nodded through gritted teeth, "Okay, give me four first, I'll go get the things."
Four pills are enough for two meals. If the fever hasn’t subsided by then, we can treat it later.
Jiang Yan turned around and found that Lin Mian had lifted the blanket and sat on the edge of the bed. His loose shorts, which had been rolled up to his knees when he slept, now only covered his thighs, revealing two white and straight legs.
Jiang Jie was in a good mood and whistled, "Lin Xiaotu, go cut four pieces of fever-reducing medicine."
Lin Mian, feeling inexplicably teased, paused for a moment, but finally nodded obediently and went to get the medicine.
He stood up and his shorts slid down to his knees. Jiang Jie's gaze moved downwards and he suddenly felt that the man's ankle was very thin. He raised his hand and gestured, feeling that he could easily circle it.
Lin Mian, who had no idea what the person behind him was thinking, took out the medicine box, found the antipyretic medicine inside, and cut off four pieces with scissors.
The tall and strong man who left came back soon and handed the packed things to Jiang Jie.
He checked and found two bottles of water, three boxes of self-heating rice, four boxes of self-heating hot pot, and three cans of luncheon meat, a total of twelve items, which was not a perfunctory amount.
Jiang Jie was very satisfied. He took the four pills from Lin Mian's hand and handed them over, raising his eyebrows. "I hope your brother recovers soon."
The man took the medicine, said thank you, turned around and walked away quickly.
Jiang Jie looked at his back and secretly wondered in his heart, was the reason why his "brother" had a fever really because he was sick, or was it because his supernatural powers were awakened?
He will probably know the answer to the question soon.
Turning around, he saw Lin Mian looking up at him. Because he was woken up in the middle of the night, his eyes were red and he looked even more like a rabbit.
He reached out and poked the other person's eyebrows, "Go to sleep, why are you still standing here?"
Lin Mian tilted his head back because of his action. When the other person withdrew his hand, he touched his forehead and looked a little confused.
Jiang Yi pinched his chin and lifted it up, taking a look at his jaw which had been pinched blue by him before, and there was still a little light color left.
Is this the case for people with fair skin? It easily leaves marks and is difficult to remove.
A not-so-kind thought flashed through his mind, and he let go of her hand, "Go to sleep."
Lin Mian rubbed his chin, which was stained with the warmth of the other person's fingertips, with the back of his hand, then obediently turned around and went to rest.
Jiang Jie rubbed his fingers and laughed suddenly.
