Very Good (v1ch67)
It was still the same beautiful face of Xiaodongxi, but now it had a hint of murderous intent.
Ye Sheng felt a surge of fear, but she couldn't turn around and run away.
o((⊙﹏⊙))o
So she walked over slowly, with a guilty look on her cute face, and sat quietly next to the straw bed, not knowing what to say.
Even though it was all an accident, she had taken advantage of her.
If she were in Xiaodongxi's place and was forced to kiss someone, she would definitely...well, she would enjoy it...
Ahem, a kiss from a beautiful young lady, it was great!
Moreover, it was her first lip kiss in both her previous life and this life!!!
o(´^｀)o
While Ye Sheng was lost in her thoughts, Gu Luoyu's chest was burning with anger.
Although she had been prepared to 'sacrifice herself' before, she had only allowed her to touch her cheeks, not to let Ye Sheng bite her lips...
Ye Sheng was just an orphan girl in a mitigation zone.
She didn't even let Commander's daughter to touch her!
It was a pity that she had not regained her ability to move yet.
Even if she was extremely angry, she had to be patient.
And to be extremely angry was to be calm.
Gu Luoyu's anger was quickly extinguished, and she lifted the corners of her mouth with a smile that was not a smile.
Very good.
She wanted to regain her vision as soon as possible.
That way, she could see with her own eyes Ye Sheng, the woman who dared to touch her.
How brave was she?
"Gu Luoyu, you..."
"Ye Sheng, are you leaving again?"
Before Ye Sheng could apologize or repent, she was interrupted by Gu Luoyu.
Hearing the mention of working in the cotton forest, Ye Sheng was startled for a moment and quickly replied: "Yes, I will set off tomorrow morning and come back in about three days. I will hang the nutrient solution in the air with a rope and you can just move your mouth to drink it.”
Although she would be away for three days and couldn't take care of Xiaodongxi, this was a rare opportunity.
Ye Sheng could spend points to entrust others with help, but it was too late for her to hide it, so how could she let others find out about Xiaodongxi?
She could only feel sorry for her.
This time, working in the cotton forest required staying in the wilderness for three days. During this period, there might be a chance to obtain energy stones. Ye Sheng hoped that she could be lucky enough to find even one energy stone.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ye Sheng. I will wait for you to come back."
When Ye Sheng heard these words, she was stunned. Then she looked over in confusion, and saw that Xiaodongxi's beautiful face was no longer expressionless, but had a look of worry.
Those red eyes were like bright gems, which slowly calmed Ye Sheng's anxious heart.
It seemed that Xiaodongxi had chosen to forget the accident just now, so as to save them from getting along awkwardly in the future... Ye Sheng raised her hand and touched her nose, and said "Hmm" in a cheerful tone.
They were still little friends who depended on each other~
(*^▽^*)
In this way, the accident that troubled Ye Sheng was resolved. She packed everything up the next day and left with peace of mind.
Fortunately, she had a satiety tool like nutrient solution!
She didn't have to worry about being hungry.
"Hey, Shengsheng, we can finally work together."
Sitting on the base truck heading to Cotton Forest, Zhou Lin approached Ye Sheng happily. Everyone in the Zhou family sitting on the other side smiled to see what happened. Among them, the eldest brother of the Zhou family, whom she had met once, even greeted Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng didn't know much about the Zhou family, and she didn't want to have a close relationship with them. It was enough for her to be friends with Zhou Lin.
Ye Sheng was overjoyed to see Zhou Lin at this time. She lifted her lips. She had to admit that it was nice to go to a strange place and have an acquaintance by her side.
It could boost her courage and make her feel more secure.
"Last time we signed up for the spring harvest activity together, but we couldn't be assigned to the same area when we went to the plantation. This time, it's okay. Shengsheng, you stay with me. Let's pick cotton together. I heard that if you pick more cotton, you will get a bonus. How cool is that!"
Zhou Lin didn't stop talking, sitting next to Ye Sheng and chatting.
Ye Sheng was not annoyed by this, but was willing to listen.
She didn't know much about the wasteland world, and every time she talked with Zhou Lin, she learned a lot of useful information.
Sometimes, Zhou Lin could also answer her questions, such as now...
"I've heard that there are blood-sucking aphids in cotton forest. What kind of polluted creatures are they?"
"Shengsheng, don't you know about blood-sucking aphids?"
Hearing Ye Sheng's question, Zhou Lin looked at her in surprise, with a 'don't be kidding' expression, which made Ye Sheng raise her hand and rub her forehead, thinking that she really didn't know.
She could use the forum of Super Intelligent Network Watch to check, but there was not much time left to do that. She had to use it sparingly!
After all, even if she knew that blood-sucking aphids were extremely vicious, she wouldn't give up the opportunity to work in the cotton forest.
If she had to go, she could always ask other people.
Now on the way to the destination in the truck, Ye Sheng was bored, so she took the opportunity to ask. Who knew that she would reveal her "ignorant" side.
(ー_ー)
"Oh, I forgot. Your parents didn't tell you this before. It's normal not to know."
However, before Ye Sheng could find a good reason, Zhou Lin had already raised her hand and clapped, suddenly realizing.
Ye Sheng nodded and changed the topic to distract herself: "So, what are blood-sucking aphids like?"
"Blood-sucking aphids have a symbiotic relationship with the cotton forest. When those greedy polluted creatures eat cotton bolls, the blood-sucking aphids will attack, bite the prey and suck their blood until they are full. But the saliva of aphids has a paralyzing effect. If you get bitten by one, you will be unable to move."
"And when you finally recover, the blood-sucking aphids will call their friends to swarm..."
Zhou Lin's face showed a mix of emotions as she talked about blood-sucking aphids. She wanted the cotton, but she hated dealing with the aphids!
Unfortunately, as she said, the symbiosis between the two was inevitable.
"Cotton forests lure prey for blood-sucking aphids. The droppings of blood-sucking aphids are rich in nutrients and they often gather at the roots of trees to fertilize them... So there are always many blood-sucking aphids in a lush cotton forest."
Zhou Lin didn't know much more about blood-sucking aphids.
She would have to take a closer look when they got to the cotton forest...
While Ye Sheng and Zhou Lin chatted, her eyes glanced at the four-wheeled vehicle following the truck. The mercenary inside wore a blue-gray uniform and had a wolf head badge on his chest.
This was a strange mercenary group!
...
Although she knew the cotton forest was far from the safe zone, she was relieved when they finally arrived after a day's journey. She was glad they didn't have to travel at night!
Even with the escort of a mercenary group, the wilderness at night was terrifying.
It was better not to risk her life.
When they reached the edge of the cotton forest, everyone got out of the carriage and followed the steward to a tent nearby. It was like a big tent, and one tent could fit eighty people.
Even though men and women slept separately, the smell of smelly feet gave her a headache as soon as she took off her shoes. Ye Sheng closed her eyes in pain.
She had to endure it when she was out!
Zhou Lin was also so bothered by the smell that she put on a mask of pain. The two looked at each other and took out something to fight the odor and plugged their noses before closing their eyes and resting.
After sitting in the car for a whole day, her body felt battered and she was exhausted.
When Ye Sheng opened her eyes again, it was already bright, and the steward she saw yesterday was shouting with a loudspeaker, "Get up quickly, it's time to pick cotton, get up quickly, it's time to pick cotton..."
The people in the tent got up quickly, washed briefly, and lined up to follow the stewards to different parts of the cotton forest.
Ye Sheng raised her head and saw the endless cotton forest, and all she saw was white.
It was like clouds had fallen from the sky and hung on the branches.
Ye Sheng looked at the trees curiously, and Zhou Lin beside her scanned left and right, and suddenly spotted something. Her eyes lit up, and she tugged on Ye Sheng's sleeve, pointing to a spot on the cotton tree ahead.
"Shengsheng, look, it's a blood-sucking aphid!"
