Chapter 4: The Mysterious Pendant
It's just that in order to avoid embarrassment, Poplar plans to pretend to be deaf and mute to the end.
The girl did have a tentative mind, but when she saw that Poplar did not react in the slightest, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
"It's time to eat." The girl pulled the poplar, who was working hard to chop wood, and said softly.
Poplar pretended to look at each other in a daze.
The girl pointed to the house behind her, and made a gesture of eating.
Poplar finally showed a sudden look, and then immediately got up and followed the girl towards the stone house.
Poplar was curious about what the aliens' food was like, and after following the girl into the stone house, he couldn't help but show a look of disappointment in his eyes when he saw the food on the wooden table.
Unexpectedly, this alien food is not much different from the method on Earth, perhaps because of the scarcity of materials, even the tools for serving food are very primitive.
There was only one pot of vegetables on a small round table, and that was roast rabbit, which was golden and served in a large stone basin with a short knife stuck in it.
This short knife is also quite familiar, it seems to be the knife used to slaughter rabbits, but I didn't expect this knife to be multi-purpose.
In addition to roasting rabbits, there were also six huge stone bowls on the table, which seemed to be a vegetable soup, but what kind of vegetables Poplar did not recognize.
There were already four people sitting down at the round table, and when they saw the girl pulling the poplar in, there was a hint of a smile on the faces of the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman, and even the old lady sitting on the main seat had a smile on her face.
Damn, these aliens really treat themselves as sons-in-law, and Poplar suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp for some reason, which seemed to remind him of a movie called Alien.
"Sit, you sit here." The girl pulled Poplar to sit on a stool on the outermost.
Long before the two poplars came in, the girl's brother couldn't help but eat, and at the moment he was clutching a fat rabbit leg in his dirty hands.
Poplar looked at his hand, because he had held the handle of the stone axe, and he had fallen on the ground, he looked a little dirty at the moment, and he really wanted to run out to wash his hands.
But she didn't want the girl to have used her bloody palm to tear off a rabbit leg directly, and handed it to Poplar with great enthusiasm.
Looking at the girl's hand, and then at the rabbit leg in front of him, Poplar really didn't want to take it, but in the end he still took the rabbit leg from the girl's hand with a smile.
Looking at the golden rabbit leg in front of him with a charming fragrance, Poplar's heart was full of hesitation.
"Can you eat things from this alien planet, will it eat the dead?" His heart was full of worry.
"Eat, why don't you eat? This meat is delicious. Seeing that Poplar was silent with a rabbit leg, the girl thought that Poplar didn't like to eat this thing, so she hurriedly persuaded her.
As if thinking that Poplar couldn't understand what she said, she made another drooling appearance to express her love for rabbit legs.
Well, I'm afraid it will be misleading if I don't eat it again, and in the face of such a delicious food, Poplar can't stand the temptation anymore, so he gritted his teeth and took a bite of the rabbit's leg directly.
Well, it's really good, it's really delicious, it's crunchy, tender and smooth, it's really much better than the food he's ever eaten.
"How's it going, it's delicious." The girl saw Poplar gobbling up, and said proudly, whether he could understand what he said, the girl didn't care about this issue at the moment.
"Yes, it's delicious." Poplar muttered a vague sentence while eating, and only then did he realize that something was wrong, but when he looked up, he was depressed to find that no one was looking at him, and they were all eating by themselves.
Since they have all eaten alien rabbit meat, Poplar can be regarded as a free one, and plans to try the alien vegetable soup.
Although the soup doesn't look good, it does smell delicious.
Originally, he was going to find a soup spoon, but when he saw that everyone else was directly holding the stone bowl and gulping down the soup, he could only smile bitterly and learn it in style.
This may be to follow the local customs, but the stone bowl is still quite heavy, and he can't hold it up with one hand, so he can only put the rabbit leg in his hand on the table with a wry smile.
After eating and drinking, the sky outside the house became darker and darker.
After taking Poplar to the brook to wash herself, the girl took him back to the stone house.
Just as Poplar was expecting and worrying that the girl was going to sleep with him, the girl left with a silver bell-like laugh.
Lost, extremely lost, Bai Yang couldn't help but secretly said that it was possible that he actually fell in love with an alien, how could this work, absolutely not, he hurriedly snuffed out his thoughts.
Now that he had experienced the life of aliens and seen the existence of aliens, he naturally did not intend to stay here any longer, and the thought of sleeping on a wooden bed covered with worm-covered hay made his scalp tingle.
As his mind moved, a starry sky instantly appeared in front of his eyes, which had almost become an instinct on his part.
It's just that when he looked at the starry sky, he was suddenly a little dumbfounded, how could it be different from the starry sky map he had seen before?
Originally, there was only one red dot and six green dots on the starry sky map, but at this time, although there was still only one red dot, the number of green dots suddenly reached more than ten.
Could it be that the star map changes all the time? Thinking of this possibility, Poplar couldn't help but be shocked, if this was really the case, wouldn't he not be able to return to Earth.
He chose the red star in horror, and sure enough, the planet where the red star was located was not Earth.
Just when he felt desperate, he suddenly felt that the planet in front of him was a little familiar, and if he looked closely, wasn't this the alien planet he was on at this time? Could it be that the Red Planet represents only its own position on the planet?
Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt that it really made sense, wasn't the location of the red star exactly the center of the starry sky map.
Although he understood the meaning of the red star, Poplar still did not know where the earth was located, after all, the starry sky map was not a plane map, there was no so-called direction here, it was a three-dimensional figure.
In desperation, he could only choose the stupidest way, and he remembered that when he chose an alien planet, he chose the closest planet to Earth.
In this case, the location of the earth should not be too far from the Red Planet, and at this time, there are three green planets closest to the Red Planet, and Poplar intends to start with these three planets first.
With a stroke of his mind, he casually chose one of the three greener planets that were nearer, and as the planet continued to enlarge, he quickly judged that this planet was not Earth, because the appearance was too different.
After the second planet was enlarged, Poplar was surprised to find that the environment of this planet was so extreme, the area of the ocean had reached more than ninety percent, and only some islands were floating on the sea, if those larger islands could be called land, then the amount of land on this planet was really a lot, and this planet was obviously not the earth he was looking for.
If he had time, he would naturally be willing to study these strange alien planets, but at this time he was in a hurry to return to Earth, so he could only put aside these boring thoughts for the time being.
