Chapter 89 Collection
The temperature in the morning was still a little chilly, and the city was gloomy.
Fortunately, the jacket Jiang Mian was wearing also had a warming function, so it was okay.
There are still fifteen minutes until six o'clock, and Jiang Mian has already arrived at the city gate.
When she makes an appointment with someone, she generally doesn't like to be late and will come a little earlier.
When Jiang Mian was planning to find a place to squat and wait for Mr. Zhou, a figure appeared in front of her.
"Jiang Mian?" A clear and unique voice sounded in front of Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian paused, and subconsciously raised his eyes, and saw a young man wearing a black windbreaker, with a handsome face, extremely fair skin, black hair and black eyes, and wearing black-framed glasses.
Like the city lord Zhou Qing, the two colors of black and white seem to collide perfectly, appearing minimalist and clean.
"Mr. Zhou?" Jiang Mian asked.
"Yes, it's me. Since you are here, let's set off now." Zhou Bai nodded decisively.
As he spoke, he put on his oxygen mask.
Jiang Mian paused and put on the oxygen mask as well.
When Zhou Bai was walking out of the city first, Jiang Mian quickly caught up with him and asked beside him, "Mr. Zhou, how do you know I am Jiang Mian?"
Logically speaking, the two of them should not have met each other, and Zhou Bai should not know her. She had just wanted to send him a message to tell him the characteristics of the clothes she was wearing today so that it would be convenient for him to find her quickly when he arrived.
She didn't expect the other party to come so quickly and find her so accurately.
"I guessed based on what you were wearing." Zhou Bai's voice was still cold and emotionless, with a businesslike and polite tone that was neither eager nor distant.
If not, he'll just move on to the next person.
Unexpectedly, the first person who asked the question asked the right question.
There are always a few people gathered at the entrance of the city. They have no money to rent a house and they lie on the ground. There are also people coming in from outside and some leaving the city when their time is up.
So even at this early hour, there were still a lot of people around the entrance to the city. Jiang Mian was indeed surprised that he found her among so many people.
However, after taking a closer look, I found that there were very few women, and even fewer who looked like her wearing combat clothing and preparing to go out. It didn't seem surprising that the other party recognized her at a glance.
In fact, there is another reason that Zhou Bai did not say, that is, the woman's temperament is outstanding. He saw her at first sight in the crowd. He saw her at first sight, and then guessed that she might be Jiang Mian based on her clothes.
The three of them left the city together.
Zhou Bai took out a car from his hub ring.
"Get in the car." Zhou Bai said as he opened the driver's seat and got in.
Jiang Mian turned around and called out to Zhao Ci: "Zhao Ci, get in the car."
Zhao Ci nodded and sat in the back.
Jiang Mian sat in the passenger seat.
The car was very quiet throughout the journey.
A place outside the White Moon Forest.
The red moon grass grew densely over a large area.
Zhou Bai took out a collection tool from the hub space: a simple stick similar to a branch, a white glass bottle, and a pair of gloves. He handed it to Jiang Mian and said, "The red moonworms are on the leaves of the red moon grass. Scrape them off and put them in this glass bottle. When you have collected a full glass bottle, come back to me for a new one."
"Okay." Jiang Mian took it.
"By the way, just collect them outside. Don't go inside; it's not safe." Zhou Bai warned. "Also, the red moonworm has hallucinogenic effects. Be careful not to get pricked by its sharp spines."
"I understand." Jiang Mian naturally agreed.
Of course, we know that the red moonworm has a poisonous stinger hidden in its body. When this insect feels dangerous, it will push out the sharp sting from its body to its tail and pierce into the enemy's body.
That's why you have to wear gloves when collecting.
Zhou Bai has already squatted beside the grass and started collecting red moonworms.
Jiang Mian looked at Zhao Ci behind him and said, "Zhao Ci, just stay close to me and watch over me. If there's any danger, just protect me."
After all, I am working for others, so there is no need to let Zhao Ci work for others as well.
"Okay." Zhao Ci responded.
I don’t know if it was because of the mask, but his voice seemed a little hoarse when he responded.
The body temperature during estrus is already higher than usual, and wearing a mask makes it a bit stuffy, or there is also inexplicable restlessness.
Jiang Mian didn't think too much about it. He squatted down and concentrated on collecting the red moonworms.
Her movements were quick and decisive, and she seemed very skilled in collecting these.
When Zhou Bai glanced at him casually, his eyes paused slightly, and he thought that Jiang Mian must have worked as an assistant to many pharmacists before, which is why he was so skilled.
Naturally, he didn't think that Jiang Mian was also a pharmacist or a senior pharmacist.
Of course, what pharmacist would become another pharmacist's assistant? Isn't that a degradation of status?
Zhou Bai quickly looked away.
Zhao Ci looked at Jiang Mian who was carefully collecting the red bugs.
Her hair was neatly tied high, her black eyes were clear and serious, her ears were white and beautiful, and she had a unique temperament.
This was the first time Zhao Ci saw Jiang Mian working so seriously.
Well, very attractive.
Her rouge-red eyelids were half-closed, her gaze fixed on her slender wrists that were not reached by her gloves. They were beautiful and distinct, white and translucent with faintly visible fine blue veins.
As he watched, his ears turned red.
Zhao Ci hastily looked away.
Jiang Mian's legs were numb from collecting, and the air around her became scorching hot. Her movements slowed down, and she silently looked over at Zhou Bai who was still tirelessly collecting.
Her eyebrows twitched slightly. Doesn't this Mr. Zhou feel tired? He must be a working saint.
Jiang Mian is tired and wants to take a break.
Unexpectedly, a figure appeared beside him, and a slender, white hand with a faint golden glitter took the tool for collecting red moonworms in Jiang Mian's hand.
Zhao Ci's hoarse voice came: "Give it to me, you go and rest first."
Jiang Mian paused. In fact, she was just planning to take a break.
But she turned her head to look at Zhao Ci. Why did he come to help her?
This doesn't match his attitude towards her.
Even if Zhao Ci has changed his opinion of her, they should still keep their distance from each other.
The other party should neither want to help nor need help.
She was a little uncomfortable with the sudden kindness.
Zhao Ci noticed that she had been looking at him, and paused slightly, then turned his head to look back, his eyelids half closed and red: "Are you surprised that I would help you?"
Jiang Mian paused, quite surprised.
Zhao Ci looked at her for a while, then spoke softly, "You can bother me more often in the future."
He looked away after he said this.
