Male lead, don't be impulsive, it's me [System]

The lake that Clovia said can go back and forth in a day is called Juyan Bay.

Zheli City is located in a relatively high position, and the surrounding geographical environment belongs to the plains. If you look around, you can only see the faint outline of high mountains in the extreme distance. It is a hill with a gentle slope.Juyan Bay is on the east side of Zheli City. Although the distance between the two can be reached within a day, it is necessary to start early.

So at dawn, Clovia led Nasi and Geoffrey's servants and set off.

In order to prolong the time of playing outside, Clovia made a decision that was completely inconsistent with the image of aristocrats—walking!Anyway, she didn't have to carry the things to carry, so there was no pressure.

When Geoffrey was around, his servant kept silent and bowed his head. It wasn't until he left the City Lord's Mansion that Naxi realized that his behavior was all fake when Geoffrey was by his side.

Almost as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Qiao Furui's servant raised his head, raised his hand to push aside the obstructive bangs, let out a long breath and smiled loudly at Naxi and Clovia, and opened his mouth with an order People unexpectedly sighed: "Thank God, I can finally rest for a day and come out to let the wind go." He said, turned his neck, and heard a few "clicks" from the back of his neck.

The black-haired man who finished loosening his bones on his own showed a sassy smile: "To make you laugh, just call me Lei."

Naxi had seen him twice in the city lord's mansion, and he hadn't heard this man's voice until now, perhaps because he never spoke, and his deep voice was still hoarse.

Lei's appearance was so different from Naxi's cognition that even Clovia was quite surprised: "Oh, you don't look gloomy at all when you hold your head up and talk!" After seeing Lei's bad first impression, at the same time, he also asked Naxi's question, "But why did you do that?"

After stretching his body, Lei turned the backpack on his back, but instead of answering, he chose to ask rhetorically, "What do you think it would be like standing behind Geoffrey as I am now?"

The two of them took two steps back at the same time, took a rough look at the overall image of the black-haired servant, and understood it in seconds.

Lei is probably in his early twenties, with a straight waist and a height of more than 1.9 meters. He has a wheat-colored skin that symbolizes health. His facial features are not outstanding, but they are very attractive. With deep black eyes, his appearance may not be equated with handsome, handsome and other praise words, but it will make people feel like trusting him and relying on him involuntarily.

If Lei just stood behind Geoffrey with his head up and chest up, no one would pay attention to that noble man with a sickly face, right?For a nobleman, it is absolutely impossible for a new servant to easily take away the demeanor of being a master (although he does not have it in the first place).So Lei could only bow his head and hunched his back, appearing in front of people in a silent image, so as not to steal Geoffrey's attention.

Thinking about it this way, this guy Lei is quite pitiful... With such a narrow-minded master, he probably gets angry a lot.

Thinking about Geoffrey's arrogant attitude, and comparing his treatment after being forcibly brought back by Winston, Naxi felt a little unkind and deeply grateful.

The young man was so focused on his own thoughts that he didn't notice that Lei's eyes seemed to pass by him inadvertently, and an interesting smile flashed in his bright black eyes.

"Huh? Not bad——" Clovia showed a look of "boy, I admire you very much": "Surprisingly, he is a reliable guy, and now I have a feeling that it seems not bad to bring you!"

Lei saluted with an exaggerated gesture, looking very funny: "It is my great honor to be appreciated by this young lady."

The atmosphere was successfully aroused by Lei, and Naxi, who was forced to act as a guard beside an unreasonable little girl like Clovia, could not help but smile at this moment.

He also has a good impression of this Lei.

The three of them headed east all the way out of the city gate, and soon arrived at Juyan Bay Lake.

If the Juyan Bay lake is viewed from the air, it looks like a slender and winding ribbon. The so-called Juyan Bay is also named because of the rocks lining the lake.These rocks have different shapes, but they have one thing in common—that is, they are super huge.Giant rocks with the height of two or even three people stand by the lake, and the closer to the lake, the bigger the rocks are. Some of the rocks have silhouettes that look like human kneeling. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a picture of worship.

The task that the Bishop gave Clovia was just as Naxi guessed, it was a task of collecting items.

The target of their mission is an aquatic plant that grows in the shallow waters of Juyan Bay Lake, called Thousand Potatoes. The spherical leaves of this plant have the effect of releasing most toxins, and it is one of the materials used to make general detoxification potions. .

The root system of the millipede is rooted in the underwater soil, and the long and flexible stem is surrounded by layers of small round leaves to form a light green sphere, which is very cute in shape.Because of its light color and secrete a layer of water-insoluble greasy juice covering the surface of stems and leaves, it is not easy to find and collect it in clear lake water.

The three of them chose a place as a temporary foothold. Naxi and Lei put down their backpacks and found some gravel to make a circle around their things so that they would not be caught in the unsuspecting situation when they were collecting turmeric. However, the bag was stolen—there are many small low-level monsters living near the lake in Juyan Bay. Among them, the omnivorous monsters like Jerboa are very interested in human luggage, and they can always find some delicious food from it, so Always happy to steal human luggage.

The bags they carried were heavy, and they couldn't lift them when they encountered small monsters. If a big monster came to steal something, they would trip over the surrounding stones. As long as they made a sound, they would be able to detect it immediately.

Naxi and Lei took out the tools specially used for collecting millipedes - three sets of wide-mouth glass jars and long-handled pliers.This kind of long-handled pliers is specially used for harvesting. The ends of the pliers are specially made with thin iron thorns to bite into each other, so that even slippery plants such as millipede can be harvested smoothly.

It would be too cruel to let the collectors go into the water barefoot in winter. Clovia found three pairs of long-tube soft rubber boots that were said to be sponsored by the Bishop from the rucksack. So don't worry about it slipping into the water while doing things.The thermal insulation effect of this thing is not to be expected. Anyway, the waterproof effect is awesome.The three of them put on their foot covers, and carefully searched for the thousand-tail grass in the shallow water area closest to where they placed their rucksacks.

Since the rainy night when the heresy was expelled from Felaisi's body, the weather has been sunny, and it is the same today.

The warm sunlight dispelled the cold in winter, and the light reflected directly on the lake was a bit dazzling, which made it a bit more difficult for them to find the thousand-tailed grass. Fortunately, they all knew the trick to collect the thousand-tailed grass-this aquatic plant is still It is difficult to be found in the water, but once the water flows, its small round leaves clustered in layers will turn up with the water flow, just like women's skirts blown by the wind.

After a while, there were seven or eight thousand cattail plants in the wide-mouth glass bottle that Naxi held in her arms.Working at this speed for an hour can collect all the [-] thousand cattail plants needed for the task.

Naxi and Lei Cai, who were working hard, moved in different directions, and found that they had found two reliable helpers, Clovia, who followed Naxi with a bottle in her arms, teasing the beautiful boy and her During the chat, if you see a thousand cattail grass, you can shake it symbolically, and forget it if you don’t see it.

Naxi didn't pay much attention to her. The people who took the task slowed down, but they had to help complete it. Who made Clovia a nobleman? Adults will not say anything.

Clovia also knows that it is not kind to ask Naxi and Lei to help complete her task, but she has not received a few replies after talking alone for so long. It is not so much that she is chatting with Naxi. She was talking to herself, and gradually became a little unhappy, and after she couldn't get a response to her words again, her willful and domineering temper came up: "Little Naxi, haven't you noticed that I'm afraid?"

Naxi turned around to look at her in surprise, not wanting to provoke the young lady too much, so she could only follow her and ask, "What's wrong with you?" Because the other party asked repeatedly on the road and finally gave the order, Naxi had to give up. He used honorifics for her, but the tone was still alienated.

"I hate water!" Clovia kicked towards the sparkling lake, and the lake water splashed by her kick was splashed, and was illuminated by the sun in mid-air: "I met water in the water. Bad things, I get annoyed when I see water!" Because she knew that the millipede is a plant that grows in water, she was quite hesitant when the bishop gave her this task, if it wasn't for this opportunity to go out... If there was If she had other missions to choose from, she wouldn't come here!It's a good thing that the boot protects her from direct contact with the lake water, otherwise she would definitely go crazy when she goes directly into the water!

So calling Naxi not only wanted to get close to the beautiful boy, but of course it also meant to ask him to help.

Naxi looked at this beautiful noble lady, pointed to the shore for a while and said: "If you really don't like it, go ashore and wait for us to bask in the sun, and you will be fine soon." You are not working anyway.

Clovia choked. Since she came to this world, not many people would talk to her like this. She was a little angry at the moment. Seeing that Naxi turned around and continued to walk forward while collecting phylloxera, she stomped her feet and could only hurry. keep up.

As a result, something went wrong...

Clovia's left foot stepped on a sharp stone at the bottom of the lake. Even through the soft rubber toe, her tender soles felt an unbearable sting. She screamed and immediately lifted her left foot, but her right The script stepped on a smooth stone. Due to the offset of the body's center of gravity, standing on the round stone with one foot naturally slipped.

Naxi only had time to turn around when she saw Clovia fall into the water with a long scream.
