Walking in the middle, Erwin Jackson asked Lyra Smith beside him: "Can you understand the Village Chief's dialect?"
Lyra answered: "I can understand."
Erwin: "Then can you speak their language here?"
Lyra looked at Erwin helplessly: "Just because I can understand, does it mean I can speak it? Everyone can understand, so they have to be able to speak it?"
Erwin looked at Lyra's helpless expression, wanted to laugh but held back: "I'm just joking with you."
Lyra didn't want to deal with him.
Although the Village Chief's Mandarin isn't very good, everyone can basically understand, so there's no difficulty in communicating. Sometimes, Erwin even finds the Village Chief's accent interesting. When he's bored, he could sit down and listen to the Village Chief talk for a whole day.
Walking slowly behind them, Ada and her dog were nearly twenty meters away from the rest of the group.
