Chapter 101 Maybe I feel sorry for them
Anjiu folded the leftover tissue paper and stuffed it into his pocket, then asked for Pu Huai's location and went over to look for him.
In the mine at the end, the other two captains were surrounding Pu Huai, asking him where he got the rice balls.
"No one in my team is hungry yet. If Captain Pu has any connections, please give us a lead." A team leader rubbed his palms together, smiled with his dry lips, and pursed them even more.
The second captain also agreed: "Or you can act as a middleman. We can't let you run for nothing, right?"
What are they working so hard for?
Isn't it just to fill your stomach and not be hungry anymore?
One rice ball costs five contribution points. Damn, it’s too cheap!
Pu Huai glanced at the two of them and looked at An Jiu who was standing behind and planning to wait for them to finish talking before coming over.
He waved.
The two captains turned around and saw someone coming. They shut up and sat aside.
It seems that he plans to wait until she leaves before grinding it.
Pu Huai glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Go outside and find the manager named Zhang. He has the goods."
They were overjoyed and immediately stood up from the ground, saying a few auspicious words and hurried away.
Only Anjiu and he were left in the mine.
Anjiu shifted his gaze from the crystal cart next to him and turned to look at Pu Huai.
"Captain Pu, are you looking for me?"
The mine we are in now is a special place for storing crystals. The entire mine surface is smooth and flat, and there is a bright small lamp standing on the side.
The floating monitor stands on top, with its bottom fitting into the lamp holder, and there is a horizontal green line in the lens.
As Anjiu finished speaking, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out from inside.
Then the suspended monitor started up, rotating around the crystal cart and recording, then flew out.
Why does it feel like charging?
Anjiu couldn't help but look over again, and saw a fingertip-sized dark red stone at the spot where the lamp base met the wall.
It's a crystal!
She didn't expect to see traces of other crystals here, nor could she tell the grade of this crystal - it was too small, and the space only produced a slight vibration at the beginning, which soon became dull.
When she turned her head again, she met Pu Huai's gaze - he didn't know how long he had been looking at her.
"..."
"You have something to do with me?"
Pu Huai tapped his fingers lightly: "Take these back, and the cost will be deducted from your salary today."
There were still three rice balls left in the cart beside him.
"Thank you, Captain Pu." Anjiu did not refuse. Although there was food in the space, who would complain about having too much?
"Come to my room at six in the evening, not too early."
"Okay, got it."
Anjiu put the rice ball in his pocket, and seeing that he was resting with his eyes closed, he tactfully walked away lightly.
The two captains outside came back with the food smoothly and were arranging for its distribution. The scene was noisy and no one noticed her.
She walked back along the edge of the crowd.
After she sat down, Ji Zhenzhen stared at her pocket and said in amazement, "You got all the rest? Why don't you just let me bring it back? Why do you have to make a separate trip?"
Although she was carefree, she also knew that wealth should not be shown to others, so she lowered her voice when she spoke these words, just loud enough for the two of them to hear clearly.
But Anjiu heard something else from his words - Pu Huai didn't want anyone to know that she was learning skills from a master.
Maybe they are worried that being high-profile will bring unnecessary trouble?
Or let others know that he has set a precedent, so that they will flock to him for advice?
But the neighbors around knew about it - no, these people would not brag about it, they needed the job opportunities that Pu Huai gave them from time to time.
An Jiu shook his head, "No, they sold it to me because they felt sorry for me and my grandma eating dirt biscuits."
"...Hmm?" Ji Zhenzhen choked on her saliva. "That, that's not impossible."
But she is the only one who can calmly say the word "pitiful"!
An Jiu narrowed his eyes and turned his head casually, only to meet Gan Qi's hastily withdrawn gaze.
"..."
Ji Zhenzhen looked over and said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with her? If she agrees, then she agrees. If she disagrees, then that's fine. Why are you keeping her hanging?"
An Jiu: "Maybe she has her own difficulties, don't force her."
"Let her do it. I have something else to tell you."
Ji Zhenzhen approached An Jiu and asked mysteriously, "Do you have any handy tools?"
"What do you mean? The net bags were just distributed yesterday."
Ji Zhenzhen moved closer to her and shook her head in denial, "It's not this, it's that kind of thing... something that can protect yourself! It's when you're on a mission... you understand, right?"
An Jiu's heart moved.
She had a fruit knife, but it was hard to use because it was too eye-catching. It was obviously an official contraband and could easily cause trouble...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Ji Zhenzhen continue: "If you don't have one, I can lend you one temporarily, but you can't tell anyone, this is a secret!"
"What is it? It won't be noticed, right?"
Ji Zhenzhen smiled more and more proudly, "You will know in the evening~"
An Jiu thought that she still had to go to Pu Huai's place to learn something in the evening, so she said, "Then you have to come early. Grandma goes to bed early. How about I go to your place to get it?"
"Emm..." Ji Zhenzhen's tongue made a bump on her cheek, "I can go there earlier, and I have other things to do, so it's just on my way."
……
Just as Ji Zhenzhen said, she came early after get off work.
"You are Xiaojiu's friend, right? Sit down."
Grandma still remembers the girl who came to install glass at home. In order to make the two young people talk more comfortably, she took the initiative to sit beside the bed and organize the net bag that Anjiu brought back.
"I understand, grandma." Ji Zhenzhen sat on the stool and wiped her wet palms on her trouser legs.
An Jiu looked at the tiny beads of sweat on the tip of her nose in surprise, "Did you run here?"
"Huh? No, it's just a little hot."
As she spoke, she tugged at her collar, but she used too much force and it tore a big hole with a "hissing" sound.
"!"
Ji Zhenzhen's face turned visibly red.
Anjiu: “…”
grandmother:"……"
Ji Zhenzhen: "The collar...was already a little damaged, and when I pulled it, it just broke."
She was extremely embarrassed and pulled her collar to show off.
At the broken ends, the cotton threads looked like tassels, and several strands of haphazard sewing were broken in half.
Just like Ji Zhenzhen said, it was rotten before, but she didn't know how to sew it.
"Let me see." Grandma couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Take off your clothes. I'll see how long the tear is and whether it can be repaired."
"Oh!" Ji Zhenzhen moved quickly, holding the clothes in both hands and placed them in her grandmother's hands as if offering a Hada.
She blushed and smiled foolishly, as if she would make a noise in the next second.
Anjiu poured her a bowl of water and asked her to take a sip to calm down.
"Did you bring the thing you mentioned?"
When talking about business, Ji Zhenzhen became much more normal, "I have it, it's in my pocket. Grandma, I'll take something first, be careful not to prick your hands."
