Chapter 272 The Mysterious Valley
The little fat creature on Nancy's shoulder shook its legs and wings. Nancy squatted on the ground motionlessly, staring at the creature.
"Do you want my candy? It's sweet." Nancy's voice was sweet and pleasant.
While talking, Nancy peeled off the candy wrapper, revealing an orange-flavored candy in her palm.
The fat bee on her shoulder seemed to smell it and peered over the candy. The pair of antennae kept waving.
The bee then flapped the pair of transparent wings.
As soon as it took off, its body fell straight down, as if the wings couldn't support the body. Nancy was worried about whether it would fall.
Fortunately, its wings were powerful enough to fly.
Otis was a little annoyed by these buzzing little things. The white tiger also knew bees were difficult to deal with. Strong as Otis was, the white tiger might also get hurt badly if it was stung by them.
So Otis remained quietly staying with the little girl. It flicked its tail once in a while, with golden eyes staring at the buzzing fat creature landing on Nancy's palm.
Nancy's skin was soft. She couldn't help but laugh as she felt a little itchy in her palm.
The big fat bee pulled the candy with its fluffy legs. It seemed that the whole body of this bee was tasting the candy. It looked satisfied.
Somehow the bee transmitted information to other bees, and many fluffy little fat bees smaller than it flew to Nancy's palm.
Their buzzing heads touched each other as if to exchange information. Then a few bees took off the candy difficultly.
"Then we made a deal?"
The little girl stared at the fat bee with bright eyes. After a second thought, she took out a sweet apple and some more candies of other flavors and put them in the hole of the hive.
She cut the apple. The smell of the apple attracted many bees. After a while, the apple pieces were densely covered with little fat creatures.
Nancy thought they already made a deal and whispered to the big fat bee regardless of whether it understood or not. Then she cautiously approached the hive.
When she reached in, no bees attacked her, and the bees crawling in the hive even backed away.
Just when she wanted to take a big piece of honeycomb, the big fat bee stopped her and pushed her little fingers to another hive.
Nancy looked closer and found that there seemed to be some white fat bugs in the hive that she wanted to take before. They might be the cubs of bees.
The hive was huge and seemed to be bottomless.
This beehive was as beautiful as a crystal. The piece of honeycomb that was allowed to be taken was much larger than Nancy's schoolbag. Each hexagonal cell was filled with bright honey, and the surface was wrapped in beeswax in case the honey came out.
Nancy carefully held the large piece of honeycomb. She felt that it might be not fair to these bees, so she gave them all her candies.
"Thank you. I'll help you bring back the stone."
Nancy put the honeycomb on clean grass. It was a little sticky.
Nancy looked at her little hand, which smelled so sweet.
She licked her hand.
"So sweet."
Her eyes lit up after licking the honey. It was pure wild honey, sweet with the scent of hundreds of flowers. Everything was just right.
"Babble..."
Something breathed near Nancy. Before Nancy licked again, Otis licked her finger.
It tasted so good that Otis ate all the honey on Nancy's finger. Otis then stared at the honeycomb.
Nancy was surprised.
"Otis, no."
She stopped Otis and said, "You can't eat this. This is for brothers, especially brother Jinx. He is sick and should eat more."
Otis glanced at her and was happy.
Nancy comforted Otis, "OK, OK, You can have some with my brothers."
Otis agreed and helped Nancy bring back those stones to cover the hive, leaving the same crack as before for the bees.
"A small puddle is over there. I'll go and wash my hands. Otis, don't eat the honey."
The white tiger sneered. It was not that kind of tiger.
After Nancy came back, she looked at Otis directly.
"You eat it, Otis."
Otis shook his beard and sat upright, looking innocent.
Nancy pointed to the fur around his mouth, and its snow-white cheeks bulged.
"Look, there is still honey in your mouth. I remember clearly that your face was clean before I left."
Otis looked a little guilty and quickly licked the honey in her mouth.
Evidence destroyed.
Nancy said, "There are some more."
Otis was speechless.
It burped.
The burp was filled with the smell of honey.
The little girl said, "I knew it. You won't fool me."
Nancy walked to see the honeycomb. Some broken pieces fell on the ground, and some pieces the size of adults' palms were gone.
They must be eaten by Otis.
Nancy was a little worried when she saw the honey. She didn't know how to take it. The honeycomb was so big that she might break it halfway. Besides, it might stick to her clothes, which was uncomfortable.
Just then, Nancy's phone rang.
"Brother."
Nancy took the phone call. Both she and Otis appeared on the screen. It was her big brother called.
Marcus glanced at the white tiger. Both of them showed hostility and disgust toward each other.
Otis was showing more disgust toward the brother.
Marcus failed in that regard.
"Where are you?"
Marcus opened his mouth, and Nancy then asked about her brother's position. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Marcus showed her around through the phone.
"We tracked the signal of your phone, and we lost you from here."
Nancy said, "Brother, you can go up to the left. There is a cave. Get into the cave, and you'll find a passage in there..."
Nancy described the route logically. Marcus and the others walked as she told and found the cave, but the signal was bad after getting into the cave.
They walked faster than Nancy, but it would take a while before they found Nancy. The little girl then hugged a small piece of honey and sat with Otis. The two of them waited while eating honey.
Half an hour later, they saw Nancy's brothers.
"I'm here, brothers."
The little girl waved happily like an elf among the flowers.
Her brothers were attracted by the scenery in this valley. When they saw Nancy, they walked over.
Marcus hugged his soft little sister.
