Chapter 89 Temporary Cooperation
The wind and sand swept across the wasteland, gently carrying the seeds and covering them with a layer of dust.
"You want the seeds on the ground?" Anjiu said, "Okay, but they're so small, are you sure you can pick them up?"
Gan Qi nodded hurriedly: "Yes! I have a way! Then, then is it——"
"Well, you take it."
Anjiu walked over and picked up the four corners of the clothes, then shook them slightly, letting the seeds pile in the middle.
When I unfolded the clothes, I saw that these seeds looked smaller than sesame seeds, with a shiny shell and were very hard to touch.
She put the seeds in her coat pocket, about two large handfuls.
Next to him, Gan Qi also took off his clothes, spread them on the ground, half-knelt down, and swept the ground with the base of his palm. The seeds and yellow soil were held on the clothes together.
Anjiu put on his clothes again, thinking about how to remove the thorns from the seed grass, and then take it back to use as firewood.
She reached out and tried to break off a thorn, and found a crisp sound. The seed grass was already dry and had no moisture. She imitated Gan Qi's actions, grabbed the sharp corner, and dragged it to a place with hard soil.
Lift it up, then let go and let it fall freely.
The spikes on the outermost layer fell down, and after hitting and shaking it with stones, at least there was a place to start from outside, except for the inner layer.
The first one to burn the match got it.
"You want it to be useful?" Gan Qi watched it for a long time, not understanding what other uses this thing had besides seeds.
Anjiu didn't answer her, but asked: "Since you also need seeds, why don't you go after the seed grass?"
Gan Qi worked as her co-worker for several days. Except for the first day when he saw her cleaning up debris without gloves and kindly reminded her and said a few words to her, the two of them had no communication at all after that.
The second time I speak is now.
Gan Qi looks a little older than Anjiu, but his personality is more reserved and cautious, which shows that he is not having an easy life either.
He looked skinny and weak. After helping Anjiu process the seeds, he sat on the ground to rest. It seemed that he could not even support his head, and it drooped forward.
Hearing this, she pursed her chapped lips and smiled, her eyes helpless, "I don't have the energy, I can't catch up."
"Okay." Anjiu carried the seed grass and placed it next to her. "Help me keep an eye on it. I'll go catch the seed grass, and then you deal with it. We'll each get half of the seeds."
It was impossible for her to return every burnt match she collected, or to carry them around everywhere. Gan Qi's appearance just helped her. In addition, letting Gan Qi deal with the seed grass that was full of thorns, it became reasonable to divide the seeds equally.
Gan Qi's eyes burst with surprise, "Really?"
Anjiu proved it directly with actions.
Gan Qi was distracted for a moment, and the seed grass she was asked to look after was almost blown away by the wind. She hurriedly pulled it back, then stood up and looked at Anjiu who was running all the way down and climbing up the opposite slope to catch up with the fast-rolling seed grass.
How... did it become like this?
Accidents and surprises came at the same time.
A few minutes later.
An Jiu grabbed the sharp thorns to fix the seed grass and waved to Gan Qi to come over.
"The rest is up to you."
An Jiu was so tired that he lay flat on the ground, breathing heavily. It was really tiring to run up and down, and his body was really weak.
Being able to exercise by collecting grass seeds is quite convincing.
When his breathing became slightly calmer, he turned over and sat up, massaging his sore calf muscles.
Gan Qi took off her clothes and placed the two coats side by side on the ground, trying to prevent grass seeds from jumping out.
When the seed grass stopped producing seeds, Gan Qi took the sharp corner aside and dealt with the thorns on it without Anjiu having to do it.
We are all girls, so some things don’t need to be said explicitly, and some tacit understandings are obvious at a glance.
Anjiu had rested enough and started chasing the next seed grass that rolled by.
……
"Let's do this for now."
After Gan Qi finished processing the seed grass, An Jiu asked her to divide the seeds equally.
Gan Qi uttered an "ah", bit her lower lip and looked up at the sky: "Are you not going to continue? It looks like it's still early."
The sun is still hanging brightly in the sky.
"Help me carry these grass seeds back. I want to drink some water. I'm thirsty."
After running for so long under the scorching sun, Anjiu was already thirsty. The coating on his tongue felt like sandpaper, and there was a rustling sound when he licked his palate.
Gan Qi looked at her apologetically. She was indeed so excited that she ignored this matter.
There were more than a dozen thornless seed grasses on the ground. Anjiu picked up two of them, stacked them up one right side up and the other upside down, and then stepped on them to try to make them fit together.
After a few times, they were combined into six grass balls, and each person took three, which was just right.
Gan Qi followed behind her, looked down at the clothes bag tied to her chest, which was filled with seeds, and couldn't help getting excited.
Food, food!
She harvested so many seeds today!
You can press oil! You can eat oil cakes!
She looked at Anjiu in front of her, her eyes burning with excitement, and her steps quickened.
When they took the elevator upstairs, the guards in the room looked at them strangely.
"Hey, you two, be careful not to let the thorns fall off. If they prick someone, you will have to pay contribution points."
An Jiu replied: "I understand."
Gan Qi was surprised that he was allowed to go through smoothly, but then he thought, the beehive didn't have a rule that prohibits taking back the seed grass, so the guards had no reason to stop him...
"Send the seed grass back to me first, then you go back and rest for fifteen minutes, and gather outside the building at half past." Anjiu arranged everything that happened next in a few words.
Gan Qi had no objection.
The two of them turned into the outermost path, one in front and one behind.
An Jiu walked past Pu Huai's house without looking around, took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.
Gan Qi stopped outside the door, put the seed grass by the door, and said softly, "Then I'll go back first."
"Okay, see you later."
You can also collect seeds!
Gan Qi pursed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise and repeated An Jiu's last four words, "See you later."
Her palms held the heavy seed bags, but her steps became lighter because she was anxious to go home.
As she passed by the next door, someone inside just pushed the door open and came out. She looked over unconsciously, and then her body froze.
"Captain Pu, Captain Pu..."
Pu Huai nodded indifferently and passed her by.
Gan Qi couldn't help but look back - isn't that An's Restaurant in front? Captain Pu... went to look for An's wine?
The two of them lived next door to each other... And last time, An Jiu was cleaning up the debris with bare hands. After being discovered, Captain Pu did not drive her away, but let her continue to work in the mine...
Two people won't...
Gan Qi suddenly covered his mouth.
If it was really that kind of relationship, I couldn't take the opportunity to get along well with Anjiu, at least I wouldn't have to worry about finding a job in the future...
Thinking of this, she slowed down her pace, pricked up her ears, and listened to the movements behind her.
Captain Pu walked a few steps and then stopped, then knocked on the iron gate.
"Who?" - This was Anjiu's voice.
Captain Pu said in a low voice: "Anjiu, we will go to the mine tomorrow."
"Okay Captain Pu, I got it."
