Chapter 89 Two Skirts
Chapter 89 Two Skirts
Anne Booker stepped onto the soft ground and raised her head.
The weather was nice, and the sunshine felt wonderful on her skin. She couldn't help but open her arms and feel the sea breeze blowing from behind her.
She walked silently forward, but she didn't forget to look back from time to time to see if Tuscarola was keeping up.
Anne didn't like this foreign girl at first; in fact, she disliked her somewhat.
But ever since Aaron talked to her that day, Anne has started to slowly accept her.
Aaron's words reassured Anne, making her understand that even if Tuscarola suddenly appeared, Aaron would still be the Aaron she knew.
That's why Anne agreed to Aaron's request to try treating Tuscarola as a younger sister.
However, Anne had never been an older sister or younger sister before, so she didn't know how to get along with Tuscarola.
However, one thing she was certain of was that as long as they were family, they should be close to each other.
Anne stopped walking, and Tuscarola behind her stopped immediately as well.
She said, "If you want to walk side by side with me, I can agree."
But Tuscarola just stood there staring blankly at Anne, saying nothing.
She didn't understand—Anne closed her eyes and exhaled through her nose.
When she opened her eyes again, she walked towards Tuscarola and took his hand.
The two girls walked together toward the town's market.
Aaron gave Anne a silver coin and asked her to help him and his sister choose new clothes.
She was very happy, but before that, she needed to complete the task Aaron had assigned her.
Head to the food shop and order some potatoes, bread, meat, and drinks.
Aaron called it "buying soy sauce", although Annie still doesn't know what soy sauce is.
After Anne paid, the shop owner bowed to her and promised to send the items to the library immediately.
She nodded, then pulled Tuscarola toward the clothing section:
What color skirt do you like?
Tuscarola remained silent, still looking at Anne with a puzzled expression.
Anne thought for a moment, then spoke to her in the Tuscarola dialect she had learned over the past few days:
"Do you like the clothes, the color?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Anne saw a ray of light suddenly reflect in Tuscarola's emerald-like eyes.
"Red!" Tuscarola said in her green eyes.
There are many shades of red, such as burgundy, fiery red, peach, etc. Which one does Tuscarola refer to?
Anne responded in green-eyed language: "Red, lots, specific, characteristics."
Tuscarola nodded, seemingly understanding what Anne meant.
She thought for a moment, then pointed to Anne's eyes.
"Me? My eyes?"
Anne pointed to her eyes and said in Mandarin, "You mean, pomegranate red?"
Whether Tuscarola understood or not, she nodded.
Anne shrugged and pulled Tuscarola to the clothing store.
She spotted a pomegranate-red four-cornered jumpsuit, picked it up, and held it up in front of Tuscarola.
The size seemed to fit, so I asked:
"Do you like it? You like it~?"
Tuscarola opened his eyes wide and nodded vigorously.
Anne saw the anticipation in her eyes and the excitement on her face.
Tuscarola liked it, Anne concluded.
Anne shoved the dress into Tuscarola's hands, and then she saw Tuscarola laugh for the first time.
When Annie realized what was happening, she found herself laughing too.
She immediately rubbed her face, not understanding why she was laughing.
So, next, Annie should choose a dress for herself.
But there were so many kinds, and every single one was so beautiful, Annie wanted them all.
She couldn't help but wonder, if she were a princess, could she wear any kind of dress she wanted?
However, assuming she really is a princess, she would never meet Aaron, and she would rather never get the dress she wants.
Finally, she set her sights on an apple-green cotton dress and immediately decided to buy it.
Turning around, she saw Tuscarola staring at her.
"What are you looking at? I didn't buy this dress because of your eyes!" Annie nodded... "Um! No!"
After paying the bill, Anne naturally took Tuscarola's hand, preparing to lead her back to the library.
Turning around, she realized that a group of people had surrounded her.
"That's her!" a man said, pointing to Tuscarola behind Anne.
"That's right, her eyes are green!"
"She's green-eyed!"
"Damn it, how come the green-eyed people are in our town again! The Baron clearly ordered that no green-eyed people are allowed here!"
"Kill her!"
"Drive her off our land!"
As he spoke, several people surrounded him and reached out their hands to Tuscarola.
Anne noticed that Tuscarola's expression had turned fierce, and a deep, threatening sound was coming from deep in his throat.
But Anne also noticed a hint of fear hidden beneath Tuscarola's green eyes, easily missed by others.
She's scared, Anne thought, and she's my sister. Anne immediately frowned and shielded Tuscarola behind her:
"What do you want to do!"
"Get out of the way, girl, this is none of your business!"
Those men continued to approach, trying to grab Tuscarola.
Anne quickly waved her hand, trying to shoo away the approaching hands.
At that moment, she felt Tuscarola holding her tightly.
She responded with even greater force.
But they were, after all, just two ten-year-old girls.
The frenzied crowd surged forward and quickly separated the two women.
She saw Tuscarola seemingly swallowed up by the crowd; she saw Tuscarola stretching out her right hand towards her with all her might; she saw her figure clearly reflected in Tuscarola's fearful green eyes.
At the same time, she also heard:
"Kill her!"
"Get her out of here!"
"Sell it!"
......
What to do! Annie racked her brains, trying to figure out what to do now!
These people have gone mad; they've all been bewitched by the devil's words. They're fanatical and radical!
At this point, don't expect them to listen to any explanations or pleas.
In terms of strength, Anne's physique was absolutely no match for him.
"There's more!" Annie shouted desperately, "There's more!"
The crowd fell silent. They finally noticed Anne and asked in emotionless voices:
"What else?"
"There are other green-eyed people in this town!"
Where are they?
"I won't tell you easily!"
Anne glared at them, then looked at Tuscarola. "She can't either!"
Then, Anne immediately told Tuscarola in Green Eyes Language:
"Don't speak."
Tuscarola nodded.
"What are you talking about!"
"Damn it, this girl has also been infected and bewitched by the evil power of the green-eyed people."
"Lord, there are other green-eyed people in our land!"
"Arrest them and interrogate them!"
"We must find the remaining ones—"
Anne felt dizzy and disoriented. When she came to her senses, she was locked in a room with Tuscarola.
The ropes bound her limbs, rendering her unable to move.
Four men were standing in front of them, whispering and discussing something.
After a while, they seemed to have made up their minds, and one of them picked up a whip and walked toward Tuscarola.
Tuscarola immediately roared out some words that Anne had never heard her say before, and even spat at her.
Upon seeing this, the man immediately raised his whip.
"Stop!" Annie shouted.
The man stopped and looked at Anne.
Anne said "No" in her green-eyed voice, and Tuscarola finally quieted down.
She turned to the man and said, "She doesn't speak our language. Even if you beat her into submission, you won't get the information you want."
Seemingly finding Anne's words reasonable, the man walked towards Anne and said with a smile:
"Well then, little girl, you are my compatriot, and I don't want to hurt you. I hope you won't bring trouble upon yourself."
Annie closed her eyes, bracing herself for a beating.
And she won't say a word.
As long as Annie doesn't reveal the information, they are valuable to these people, at least enough to ensure they won't be killed.
Once they reveal it, there is nothing that can guarantee their safety.
However, she was also afraid of pain.
She was so scared that her body trembled, but she was determined to protect Tuscarola.
"Bang!"
A sudden loud bang startled everyone in the room.
Anne looked up and saw that someone had opened the door.
When she saw who was standing at the door, she relaxed completely.
She knew she was saved.
"Who are you! What do you want!"
"Gentlemen, I'm here to take these two young ladies away. I hope you can be accommodating."
At this point, Annie couldn't help but complain, "Can't you just put aside your inappropriate 'politeness' for a moment?"
"Do you want to die?"
"I don't like violence. I promise you, as long as you let me take them away, I won't make things difficult for you or hold a grudge. Of course, if I find them injured and kill you in a moment of impulse, that's a different story. So, I hope you all understand."
Then, Annie saw four people rush towards her.
Then, the four people inside the room, who were shrouded in frost, were instantly knocked down.
Aaron stepped out of the cold and stood in front of her.
Anne remembered that Aaron once said that there were many great people in the world, but few heroes.
But Aaron was wrong, and so to Anne at that moment, the hero was right in front of her.
Aaron untied them, and Annie pounced on them:
"Aaron"
"It's alright, girls—"
Aaron placed his hand on her head.
His hands were so warm. Just moments ago, Annie had seen him freeze one of their arms into an ice cube with a single, gentle touch.
Then Anne saw Aaron place his other hand on Tuscarola's head.
"Never mind, she's my sister now," Anne thought. "I'll lend her this hand for now."
Then, Anne heard a gentle voice:
"Let's go home—"
