Metamorphosis - Extraterrestrial Adventures (12)
While they were resting, I said I wanted to go out and see the people and customs here. The people of Mugu said that it was good, and remember to come back to watch the wonderful fighting match later, this is a rare and good event. I said okay, I'll go to the neighborhood and come back. When I left, Mokiti Five, the one on the base, gave me a watch-like gadget, saying it would help me if I got lost.
As soon as I came out, I came to a road where people gathered, and it looked like the street on our planet. As soon as I came out, I startled a few Hercules people next to me, and it is estimated that they never expected that there would be people underground. I used the same trick that the people of the Mutani used to make the body invisible and pass through the cracks in the soil, which was the same method that the people of the Mutani used to take me when they were on the earth.
The Hercules were stunned for a moment, and then seemed to react again, and hurriedly came up and asked me if I wanted to help. It turns out that they are also coolies, and it seems that there are a lot of coolies here. The people of Mugu say that hard work is their forte, so not only is it "quality and quantity", but the price is also very cheap. It's just that I don't need help now, so I told them very tactfully that I don't need to, I can handle it myself. As for what to do, I don't know. When I didn't speak, they kept a certain distance from me, and then as soon as I spoke, they gathered closer, saying that I didn't have to walk, and they sent me to where I was going. I ask how to send it? One of them immediately rushed over and said that he could carry me away, very slowly, looking east and west, and cheaply. I thought that they must have regarded me as a highly intelligent life being, thinking that I had a lot of money, just like if I went abroad, someone would come up to do business. I said no, I'll go to the front here. Those people looked very deflated when they heard about it, and the feeling of loss was more understandable, and hope became a passing cloud, which was a more depressing thing.
As we passed by the door of a family's house, a small child ran over. The strange thing is that although the Hercules are very strong and their muscles are very strong, the Hercules children do not look strong at all, except that the two big feet are very conspicuous. The boy ran to me, stopped, held up something like a pendant, and then did not move. I don't understand what he's doing, is he trying to give it to me? But we don't know each other, so there's no reason to send things when we meet? And it still looks targeted. Just as I was at a loss, the child's other hand was raised, and both eyes were rolling. I realized that he was trading with me, and wanted to trade that little thing to me. Looking in the direction he had just run, I saw an old man with a wrinkled face, his muscles were no longer as strong as the other Hercules, his energy was not as vigorous, and his eyes were dull. What does this kid have to do with him? Why do children come out to sell things? Is there no food to eat? Still don't have the money to see a doctor? Why just the two of them? Is this child an orphan? …… A barrage of question marks came flooding up. It's a pity that I didn't bring any money when I came out, so I could only spread my hands and make a powerless gesture to the child. The child seemed to understand what I meant, and then walked away in a huff. At this time, the child's heart must have been very disappointed, perhaps he was planning to use the money to buy something to eat, but his hopes were also dashed.
After walking for a while, I decided to go home, because everywhere I saw were some chilling sights. It seems that the living standard of the Hercules people is the same as the living standard of some parts of our earth, and even the minimum problem of food and clothing has not been solved, which is not what I want to see.
When I went back, it didn't go well, because I got the wrong direction when I was away from the ground, and I didn't reach the base of the Mugu people, but then I returned to the ground again, and I returned to the base accurately after determining the direction.
When I returned to the ground again, the kid who wanted to sell something to me just now was looking at me in a daze, and I guess he must be very curious: What's wrong with this guy, going on and on for a while, like a flea?
The Mugu people were just about to leave to watch the fighting match, and when they saw that I was back, they said hurry up, and they would miss the wonderful performance when the next show started.
Fighting is a very influential large-scale event in the Hercules community, and its popularity is almost comparable to that of the NBA, and it attracts global attention. What makes it influential is not only that fighting is the strength of Hercules, but the most important thing is that the fighting champion will get a very generous bonus, which is undoubtedly a great temptation for Hercules people whose living standards are not very high.
Fighting matches weren't very important to me, even though the people of Mutani had repeatedly touted how grand it was; What I want to know is, in a world that is known for fighting, what kind of position does the Hercules put in it: is it like us earthlings like to watch the NBA and focus on its excitement? Or like the ancient Romans liked to watch gladiators focus on its thrills?
We sat far away from the ring, so the scene on the stage was not very clear, except for which side fell in the end, every move in the middle was blurred. But from the cheers and shouts of the crowd of Hercules in the audience, I could hear a kind of madness that bordered on cruelty: after the people on the field were knocked down, after the people on the field were knocked down again, after the people on the field were knocked down...... There was a deafening roar every time the game was played. Despite the savagery of the Hercules, I can still understand the reason: when the living conditions of life are threatened, everything else is no longer important; What can exist apart from life? Later, I looked really bored, because the old pig has never liked to fight and kill - this has been widely confirmed on the way to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, so I later told the Mugu people: You continue to watch, I will go out first.
I didn't go back to the base of the Mugu people after I went out, because it was too dull in there, and there was nothing interesting about it, I don't know if it was hidden or not at all, anyway, I didn't see it.
I came up to the ground from the other direction, and this time I no longer had the same miserable appearance as before, but looked a little magnificent. As he was walking, he suddenly met a few big men in front of him. Different from the big man on our earth, the big man here is even more majestic, which makes people feel afraid at a glance, and there is a feeling of Mount Tai pressing the top. Originally, the matter of walking is that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and "the road is facing the sky, and you are walking halfway", and there is nothing to worry about. But the Hercules who came up to me stared at me one by one. I'm thinking badly, I must have encountered a robbery, the life forms on those planets that I passed through before are higher than me because of their intelligence, it is estimated that there are fewer robbers, anyway, I haven't seen a single one; Besides, even if he encounters it, how can a high-intelligence guy be embarrassed to rob me of a low-intelligence guy? Right? It's going to make people laugh when it gets out. Now it's different, this is the territory of the Hercules people, and the wisdom of the people is at the same level as me, and it is very likely that there are many unprofessional guys on the same earth as us, specializing in stealing and abducting; And it's quite possible that the first ones are.
So I decided to hide. What I didn't expect was that as soon as I turned the corner, the Hercules in front of me also changed direction, and this time I completely understood that they were coming for me at all. It seemed that I couldn't kill them, so I decided to come up with a "thirty-six plan". I immediately took action and ran away. Just as I guessed, the Hercules also ran along, as fast as they could, and in the blink of an eye they reached me, grabbing my arm by the arm.
I said buddy, I'm from out of town, and I don't have any money on me, so if you can see the dress I'm wearing, I'll give it to you. After saying that, I started to get ready to take off my clothes. One of the Hercules said, "Why are you taking off your clothes?" We're here to discuss something with you, why did you just run away when you saw us?
I thought about the situation this time, so I didn't dare to tell the truth, just said that I was too fat, and I was exercising to lose weight and running.
Another Hercules man said, why lose weight with such a cute figure......
The Hercules man next to him stopped him from asking any further, and said straight to the point that the purpose of their search for me was to discuss a more important matter with me.
I asked what was going on, how long it would take, and it wouldn't be good if it was too long, because I would have to hurry later.
No, soon, in a while. Just now, the Hercules who said I was cute said.
I said that since this is the case, let's talk about it quickly.
They invited me to a nearby restaurant and said it was a children's food store they ran.
Judging from the overall layout, the grade of this children's food specialty store is not low.
Indeed, a few Hercules say that only the children of wealthy families come here to buy food to eat.
I asked them what they had to do with selling children's food. Are you planning to hold a tasting contest and ask me to be a childcare? …… The Hercules man said it wasn't like that.
It turns out that this children's food store has another rival, and the scope of business is the same. At first, everyone was evenly matched, but then the situation became more and more unfavorable for them, because more and more people ran to each other, even if they reduced the price of sales, it was useless. Later, after some inquiry, they found out that the other party had invited a very friendly celebrity as the image spokesperson of their store. In this way, all the popularity has been attracted to their side, so that their side is almost unable to make ends meet now.
In the end, they said, we want to ask you to be the image spokesperson for our side, and with your cute appearance, we will definitely be able to snatch back those lost customers before. Can I ask? Haven't those little guys seen me? Can you buy it? Several Hercules reassured me, saying that as long as I promised them, I didn't have to worry about anything else, and I didn't have to take any responsibility.
I thought to myself, even if you want me to be responsible, I guess there is no place to reason. I asked them, "What do you want me to do?" There's not much time left, so I'll have to go back and meet them.
After hearing this, several Hercules people became anxious, and hurriedly said that soon, they only needed to take a few photos and record a few lines.
They moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were all ready. It seems that they are indeed in a hurry, and it is estimated that their heads are dizzy in order to find an image spokesperson. I didn't expect that my old pig would have a day to become famous here, although it became a nickname.
After the toss, they were going to pay me a sum of money. I said forget it, it's just a matter of the way, and besides, I don't need the money...... Before I finished speaking, I immediately remembered the child who had planned to sell my gadgets earlier, so I immediately changed my words and said: Okay, I will accept the money.
Seeing the sudden change in my attitude, several Hercules stood there in a daze until I said I was leaving.
Unfortunately, I was able to find the child I had hoped for, because I couldn't find my way. I was going to go a few more places, but the people of Mugu urged me to go back quickly, saying that I was about to leave later, so I had to go back in a huff.
I gave the money to the Kiya man on the base, and I don't know how he spent it later.
Our next stop is Sirius. Completely different from the Sirius that we earthlings call it, this Sirius is a small celestial body attached to a large planet, not independent in the atmosphere, but close to the big planet, like two sister balls, if you look at it from a distance, it must look like a big figure.
The life forms on Sirius are similar in appearance to the people of the Wood Valley, but they are quite different in color, and I don't remember what their names are, but it is probably right to call them Siriusians. Just like the Mugu people, they are not called Mugu people, but because they live on the Mugu Star, calling them Mugu people seems more "clear".
In my previous diary, I introduced the appearance of the Mugu people, who were relatively short, with a silver-gray body, and a head that showed two different shapes: round, smooth and uneven, according to the level of intelligence; The eyes of the Mugu people are not like the eyes of our earthlings, they grow in the eye sockets, their faces do not have obvious noses, eyes, ears, mouths, these organs, their eyes are actually two bright spots on the part of our eyes, which are larger than our eyes, and look like the eyes of some kind of robot.
This is the physical characteristics of the Mutani people, now let's take a look at the physical characteristics of the Sirius.
The appearance of the werewolf is also short, the nose, eyes, ears, and mouth on the head are similar to those of the Mutani, which are not very obvious, and the limbs are relatively long, like the tall people on the performance field. The only trait that is very different from the people of the Wood Valley is that the size of the Lepus can change with the color of the environment like a chameleon, and in a normal state, in a spacious, well-lit area, their skin is the same silver-gray as the people of the Wood Valley. The people of Mutani say that the werewolves are the closest form to them in the universe, so they have to travel more frequently between the two planets than with the other planets, just like two brothers. I wonder if they may have formed an alliance with each other, just like we earthlings form gangs and factions between countries.
The people of Mugu said that this is not called forming a gang, this is called friendly exchanges. That's right, it's time to find a high-sounding word.
Because the color of the werewolf body changes with the environment, there are many jokes about it.
When we first arrived at Sirius, it was Welicus One who came to entertain us. The so-called hospitality is actually simply to show us the way and show us the way. The Mugu people have a foothold here, just like the office of our earthlings, which is convenient for their own families to come and go. Outside the "office", I saw a few people with a round head, smooth and smooth Mugu people with a round head, that is, the first Mugu head I saw on the earth, and the No. 2 Mugu seemed very happy to see them, and there was a situation of "the villagers saw the villagers with tears in their eyes".
Just as we were about to go in, I suddenly felt something under my feet pierce in, and it hurts. So I told the Mugu people to go in first, and then I would go in after I sat down to see what it was. There was no place to sit, so I had to hold on to the wall with one hand and touch the soles of my feet with the other. Before I could find the "target", I suddenly heard the call of "ah" and "ah"; But when I looked back, there was nothing, and I didn't know which direction it was coming from. I guess it's the sound of the wind blowing, I thought, so I lowered my head and looked for the "target" again. As soon as I lowered my head, the "ah" and "ah" cries came out again, and they were getting louder and louder. But when I looked back, there was still nothing, so I still thought it was the wind blowing. It's really evil, I just lowered my head, and the "ah" and "ah" cries sounded again. This time I simply stood up and took two steps back, looking around for a possible source of the sound. Suddenly, a wolf, silver-gray, came out of behind me, and babbled for a while, babbling and pointing to his throat. I wondered, could it be that his throat was uncomfortable? Want me to help? Later, he asked me why he was pinching his throat in a language similar to that of the people of Kitani. When did I choke his throat? He said it was just now. Just? Didn't I just lean on the wall? How could it be possible to choke him by the throat? It is estimated that he saw that I was from out of town, so he didn't say too much and walked away.
Later, I finally understood: the color of the wolf's body changes, and it changes exactly like the environment he is in. And the wall of my handrail just now was white, and the werewolf must have been standing in front of the wall just now, so I couldn't tell the difference, so I just pinched his hand to his throat.
There is an ice cream-shaped sweet on Sirius that is more comfortable to eat. I bought one and ate it, and I was going to throw away the wrapping paper outside, but I couldn't find a suitable place, so I kept it in my hand. Later, as I walked, I saw a place like a garbage heap, so I threw the packaging case over without hesitation. As soon as I threw my hand, a Sirius man appeared there, with a pointed ice cream wrapper hanging from his nose, at first I thought that this guy was quite creative, but then I suddenly remembered that he must have just picked up garbage there and turned it into the color of a piece of garbage, and I didn't see it, so I threw the ice cream wrapper in his face, and it was still in the nose. Without waiting for him to come to me and say irresponsible things, I hurriedly slipped away, saying that it was not a glorious thing to be taught by others.
