Chapter 17: A Special "Communication"
"Brother Captain, they're wearing clothes. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
That's right, from the first time he saw those little things, Zhou Xin noticed that their bodies were wrapped in clothes sewn from leaves. Although it looks very simple just by sewing two leaves together from front to back, there is no doubt that it is a garment from the perspective of function. Coupled with the actions of those little things in the picture now, Zhou Xin realized that he might not be able to treat them as simple animals anymore.
After this thought came up, Zhou Xin looked at their actions at this time, and felt that those actions seemed to be trying to express something. However, because the movements of those little guys dancing were fast and complicated, Zhou Xin couldn't see the meaning for a while.
"Atlas, can you see what they are trying to convey in their movements?" Thinking of this, Zhou Xin asked.
Shaking her head, the little girl replied, "There are so many of them that it's hard to analyze them for a while. β
At the same time as Zhou Xin asked, Ralph's qi on the green star had almost disappeared. At this time, she had already been fascinated by the cuteness of those little ones. Not only that, but seeing their movements, Ralph imitated them without warning. You know, the movements of those little things were already very exaggerated, and now it is even more strange to make the same movements on the larger Ralph. However, although Ralph's current movements looked very funny, the little thing in front of her stopped his movements and looked at it seriously. Lost the contrast in front of her, Ralph, who was in high spirits, did not stop at all, and she continued to dance casually according to her heart's thoughts.
Through Christie's point of view, Zhou Xin certainly knows what Ralph is doing. Although her movements were so funny, what Zhou Xin cared about at this time was not the action itself, but the reaction of those little things. After careful observation, Zhou Xin found that the little thing in front of Ralph at this time was watching her movements seriously, but his delicate face showed a confused look. In fact, it wasn't just the little thing in front of Ralph, in a place that Zhou Xin hadn't noticed, there were several small things gathered together who were also observing Ralph's movements. The faces of the little things were equally confused, and at the same time they were doing some movements with each other, as if they were discussing something.
Because of the slight bulkiness of the protective suit, Ralph's movements did not last long before stopping. Panting, she pointed to the little thing in front of her and said, "Go on, why did you stop." β
Seeing Ralph stretch out his hand, the little thing subconsciously flew backwards for some distance. After a while, seeing that Ralph did not make any drastic moves, he dared to fly back to his original position. Then the little thing pointed at her in Ralph's movements, and danced again.
This time, the little thing made a few movements and stopped. However, Ralph still didn't understand what the other party meant, and by this time, she was too tired to do any more strange movements. So, two people, one big and one small, stared at each other with big eyes.
At the same time, the other people around seemed to sense the intentions of those little things after recovering from their previous panic and anger. As a result, they began to communicate with those little things in their own way. Because of the actions of the little things at the beginning, most people use a variety of body movements. Only a few people tried to use words to make the little thing in front of them understand their meaning. But soon they found that any attempt they made was in vain, and that they were even playing the harp to the cow, and that the little things did not understand what they were trying to say. As for the actions of the little things, they couldn't guess it on their side, and in this way, both sides wanted to express their thoughts, but they didn't know what the other party meant, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into weirdness. At this time, those who were too concerned with communicating with the small things in front of them did not notice that the aroma around them changed again, and the aroma that was very obvious disappeared and was replaced by a faint fragrance.
However, although the change in aroma could not be detected, after this period of communication, Zhou Xin suddenly discovered another strange phenomenon.
"Atlas, do you hear any other sounds from those little things than the flapping of wings?" When this idea just came out, Zhou Xin thought it was his own delusion, so he confirmed it to Tesla.
"Huh? Not to mention, no one has ever heard their voices. The little girl replied in a strange tone.
"It's been so long, how did they manage to not say a word." Zhou Xin muttered to himself thoughtfully, "Unlessβ"
"Unless they don't speak at all, so they can only use their actions to express their thoughts." The little girl rushed to Zhou Xin and said this answer. At this time, she paid attention to a detail that she hadn't paid much attention to before, "Brother Captain, those little guys don't have ears." β
Knowing this, the strange behavior of those little things in front of Ralph and them can be reasonably explained. However, this presented Atlas with a problem, they all knew a civilization through language and writing, but they couldn't do this for the little guy in front of them who seemed to be a higher civilization. They could only be understood by observing their movements, which made Atlas feel a little overwhelmed.
Just when Zhou Xin was thinking hard about how to understand the action language of those little guys, it was Ralph's side that made a breakthrough. Of course, it's not because they're smarter than Tesla to be the first to guess what the little guys are trying to say. Instead, Christy came up with a very "alternative" way of communication on a whim.
Under Ralph's curious gaze, Christy returned to the ship. As she came out, Ralph noticed that Christy had a few things in her hand. It looked a little bit like the food they normally eat.
When Zhou Xin finished discussing with Atlas and refocused his attention on the Green Star. Christy had already returned to Ralph with the food, and she waved to the little ones parked in front of her, then tore open the food package and placed it on the ground. Then, after taking a few steps back, she pointed to the food on the ground at the little ones in the air.
Such a strange act naturally aroused the curiosity of the little ones, and they clearly understood the meaning of Christy's simple movements. However, they did not take immediate action. After a long time, one of the more daring creatures slowly flew over the food, and after flying around the food on the ground twice, it seemed to be attracted by the smell of the food, and the little one tried to stand on the bag of the food.
However, no matter how light the little guy's body is, the soft packaging bag still can't support the weight of his body. Coupled with the fact that the bag itself was very smooth, the little guy fell into the food without standing firmly, and was instantly overwhelmed by the food that seemed like a mountain to him. Seeing this funny scene, Ralph's laughter rang out early in the communication, and even Zhou Xin's face had a hint of a smile. At this time, what happened here in Christy had attracted a lot of attention. In the eyes of everyone, after a long time, the little guy who was caught in the food finally appeared. At this time, he subconsciously reached out to wipe the residue off his face, and inadvertently, he seemed to sweep some of the residue into his mouth. Zhou Xin noticed that the little guy's mouth moved slightly, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden. Then he didn't care that most of his body was still buried in the food, and he grabbed the food with one hand and ate it.
His actions immediately attracted the attention of many little ones who stopped in the air to observe the situation, and several little ones flew directly to the side of the food. Seeing his companion flying towards him, the little thing, still buried in the food, quickly stuffed the food in his hand into his mouth, and then kept gesturing at them. Without making a few gestures, he picked up a small piece of food from the pile of food around him again and stretched it out to his companion.
One of the little ones took the food and tried to shove it into his mouth like the little one buried in the food. Soon, he reacted like the little guy in the food. Then, with the leadership of those little guys, things got out of hand. More and more little ones began to join the ranks of the scramble for food, and seeing this scene, Christy, who suddenly came up with this attention, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Christy didn't bring much food, and it didn't take long for the little ones who arrived first to snatch it up. Some of the little ones who came late and didn't grab it even thought that the bags were also edible, so they gathered around the bags and gnawed on them. Christy rushed over to stop the stupidity of the little ones, and Zhou Xin saw that Christy reached out and grabbed one of the little ones, trying to pull him off the bag. However, the little guy she grabbed didn't seem to want to leave the huge "delicacy" in front of her, her hands still clutched the edge of the bag, her mouth was still chewing hard, and Christy, who was afraid of hurting them, didn't dare to push too hard, and things froze. Instead, a few of the other little ones around her, mistakenly thought that Christy wanted to hurt her companion, and pounced on her instead. While this didn't hurt Christy, it did force her to let go of the little one in her hand. Seeing that they still had the intention of continuing to attack her, Christy had no choice but to take a few steps back. Later, more and more little ones who didn't grab the food began to join the ranks of tearing the bags, which made Christie, who had no way to stop it, a little anxious.
After thinking about it, Christy ran back into the ship as fast as she could, and it wasn't long before she ran out with more food. With the lessons of the past, this time Christy learned to be obedient, she tore open the package and poured the food inside directly on the ground. Her action attracted the attention of more of the little ones in the sky, and by the time she had finished spilling all the food in her hand, there were not many little ones left in the sky, and they were all concentrated in the small clearing in front of Ralph, where Christy threw the food. As for the little ones who were tearing the bags, they also gave up the few pieces of "food" in front of them that they couldn't bite at all, and joined the ranks of other friends around them.
Seeing everything that happened on the screen, Zhou Xin suddenly felt a little crying and laughing, because it couldn't help but remind him of a similar scene he had experienced on Earth before. Atlas said without thinking, "Brother Captain, you see that those little ones are acting like birds grabbing food. β
The little girl's words, Zhou Xin did not respond. At this time, after careful observation, he realized that not every kind of food that Christy had brought out was popular with the little ones. Among them, only sweets are the favorite of the little ones, and the sweeter the things, the more little ones will gather around. As for the food that does not have the slightest sweetness, the little ones don't even look at it, and even show disgusted expressions when they pass by. Moreover, those little ones seem to have a special ability to distinguish sweetness, and they can see at a glance even a hint of sweetness in so many foods, and they have never made a mistake. Seeing this, Zhou Xin couldn't help but feel a little lucky, glad that Christy took out sweets for the first time, if not, he didn't know what would have become of him now.
On the green star, after seeing this scene in front of them, everyone present stayed in place. Although these little ones have only just "attacked" themselves, after seeing them now, no one is angry about the trouble these cute "little elves" have caused them before. At this time, a few people suddenly remembered something, and they also ran back to the spaceship, and when they came out, Christy also took out a lot of food. Led by these few people, more and more people ran back to the ship to get the food. In this way, the scene of the confrontation between the two sides not so long ago ended dramatically under the "offensive" of food......
