[Zhongyingmei] Official Mascot

Chapter 52

He shuddered, holding his breath and listening intently.

Ruoyou Ruowu's footsteps were so subtle, as if someone was hiding somewhere and watching them secretly.

Peter whispered, "Someone..."

Dolores was startled, and immediately grabbed his arm: "What?"

She didn't dare to look left and right, but approached him, and asked in a voice that only he could hear: "Are you sure? Where is it?"

Peter didn't speak, he listened quietly for a while, the subtle movements of the creeping steps on the leaves in the forest seemed to have noticed the vigilance of the two of them now, and they became more vigilant and motionless.

He wrapped his arms around Dolores' waist, and suddenly shot a spider's thread to the top of his head, and quickly rose to the branches.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be about to run away, the other party no longer hesitated, screaming loudly, and ran out from behind the tree trunk in the distance accompanied by the whining of some kind of animal.

Those were two people. To be precise, they should be local aborigines. They didn't look very old, a man and a woman, with fair skin and long red hair that looked like fire, which was braided and hung down behind their backs.

They were wearing neat brown hunting clothes, with water jugs on their waists and wooden bows on their backs. They stared wide-eyed at Peter and Dolores who were hiding in the tall trees.

This was the first time Peter saw the aborigines here, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Are they the Haganah people?"

These two children look no different from humans, and they can even be said to be quite good-looking, but they cannot be distinguished by race on earth. Although their skin is fair, their facial features and outlines are very soft.

These two children looked like twelve or thirteen-year-old people from the earth, shouting excitedly in the Hagana language they could not understand at all, each of them was holding a dog the size of a dog, but with An animal with a long pointed mouth, drooping ears, and big eyes.

Dolores grabbed Peter tightly: "Should we run?"

Peter was unprepared for this situation. He looked at the two children below and said helplessly, "I don't know..."

Should they engage with the locals?

Peter and Dolores looked at each other silently, neither of them knew what to do.

The small package wrapped in the luminous fruit was held on Dolores' arm. The package was not very tight, and a blue fruit accidentally rolled out and fell straight down.

The little girl under the tree exclaimed, and the boy beside her opened her eyes a little bit, and jumped up nimbly to catch it, just in time to catch it.

The boy looked up at them and at the fruit in his hand. His pet whined and came to his side, seeming very interested in what he was holding.

The boy reprimanded it, said something to the girl, and passed the fruit over.

The little girl immediately beamed with joy, and said something to the boy in a crisp voice, then happily stuffed the fruit into her mouth, her voice raised a lot, then she raised her head to look at the two people on the top of the tree , chattered a bunch.

As she spoke, she waved at them.

Peter hesitated and said, "Does she still want it?"

The two looked at each other, squatted down on the tree trunk, took two more and threw them down.

The little boy still received the fruit very quickly, and he gave another one to the girl, and threw the fruit into his mouth. He looked very happy, but he seemed a little puzzled when he looked up.

The two children were pointing and chattering below, but Dolores and Peter couldn't understand at all, and even guessed, the little girl seemed to know that they had misunderstood, so she raised the fruit and shook her hand, then continued to wave at them , shouting something.

"I think...they want us to go down?"

Dolores said uncertainly, "Really?"

"Seems to be...."

Peter looked at her. "They seem friendly? Or should we go with them and maybe find some way to find the others?"

Dolores nodded: "Try it."

So Peter hugged Dolores and slid down the spider thread little by little.

However, the two children cried out excitedly and in surprise, speaking loudly as if they had seen something extraordinary.

They looked at Peter with shining eyes, a little awe and even nervousness. They pulled their whining pet back two steps quickly, and suddenly knelt on the ground with their arms folded and their heads folded.

"what!!??"

Peter almost slipped off the spider web in fright: "What are they doing?"

Dolores leaned on him suspiciously: "It seems to be... saluting?"

"I don't understand at all..."

Peter stood still and was greatly frightened. Dolores thought about it, took out two fruits, and approached them carefully.

The two children looked up secretly. Their eyes were blue and very clear. When they looked at her, they were puzzled and a little bit shy and nervous.

Dolores didn't want to frighten them, so she had to stand one meter away, squat down and look at them, trying to convey her kindness with her eyes and expression, and handed the fruit to them: "Eat—this"

She pointed to her mouth, then to her hands.

The two children looked at each other in confusion, and they couldn't understand Dolores' language, so they had to stand up slowly, and tentatively raised their hands to take the fruit in her hand.

The girl seemed to be a little more lively. Seeing that Dolores didn't seem scary, she quickly jumped up, smiled brightly at her, and happily said a single syllable with the fruit: "Ka!"

Dolores guessed that this meant thank you, and she stretched out her hand to the boy: "Eat."

Seeing the gentle smile on her face, the boy immediately blushed, lowered his eyes in embarrassment, looked at her hand, finally stretched out his hand, and took the fruit from her hand.

The boy whispered to her: "Jia..."

Dolores slowly retreated to Peter's side and whispered, "At least we now know what their thanks are for."

The girl had two fruits, and her joy was undisguised. She didn't eat them directly this time, but bit a bit of the outer membrane, and then drank all the liquid inside. With a cry, they ate the two empty outer membranes.

She is very smart, and seems to see that Dolores and Peter seem to know nothing, and she actively points to the two little alien creatures that are cheerfully flicking their ears and smashing the peel with their sharp beaks: "Derry!——"
