Ye Zheng took a deep breath and let it out slowly, which made his lungs that were about to explode feel better.
calm down. Ye Zheng said to himself, don't be impulsive. Although Ye Zheng really wanted to spank the mermaid on the ground, what was the use of getting out of breath
The mermaid didn't understand the meaning of drying salt to her. From the mermaid's point of view, it was nothing but seawater where she had put conch shells in it, and then the seawater dried up. It wanted to refill her with a conch brine to make her happy, and there was nothing wrong with what the merman did.
After Ye Zheng made a few psychological hints to himself, he finally felt that he really shouldn't be angry with the merman now, so he got angry at this time. She looked down at the mermaid, which was holding the conch high, ignorant of Ye Zheng's psychological struggle. Seeing that Ye Zheng didn't take it, it simply stood up from the ground with its tail and placed the conch in front of Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng smiled helplessly at it. Seeing Ye Zheng smiled at it, its arms were raised even higher, and the conch almost came close to her face.
Ye Zheng dropped the things in his hands and took the conch. After thinking about it, she poured out half of the seawater, and then walked far away and put the conch back under the sun. Since the mermaid didn't understand that she took the seawater to dry the salt, Ye Zheng could only eat it after drying it, so that it would know that she needed salt.
After placing the conch, Ye Zheng walked back and found that the mermaid was playing with the two seagulls that were out of breath, looking quite interested. The mermaid should have seen these birds, but judging from its appearance, it should have not caught this bird with its own hands. At this moment, the merman plucked a feather from the bird and scratched his face with that feather.
Seeing Ye Zheng approaching, the mermaid graciously handed the feather to her. Ye Zheng looked at the bird feather in the mermaid's hand. The one he chose was very good. The quill was straight and long, and the fine hair on it was straight and hard. Ye Zheng twisted the feather around and suddenly had a new idea in his head. Can this feather be used for decoration? Did the ancients also use feathers to make clothes
Before Ye Zheng could finish thinking, she suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. Ye Zheng looked down and saw that the mermaid could not wait to cut open the belly of one of the seabirds, revealing the blood and internal organs inside. , stained the bird's feathers. Ye Zheng sighed, put the remaining seabird with intact feathers to the other side, and began to deal with the bird resignedly.
The mermaid started very quickly, it ripped out the internal organs of the seabird, and then threw them into the sea. The mermaid's hands were full of dirty things from the seabird's body. The bird smashed into pieces.
Ye Zheng also stopped it with some headache: "Wait, wait." As he spoke, Ye Zheng held its wrist bone. dragged it to the beach. Then he picked up water and splashed it on its claws, carefully washing the claws for it.
Then Ye Zheng picked up the bird and showed it to it: "Look, I want this."
Ye Zheng plucked out a hair, then plucked out another hair, and demonstrated to the fish: "When dealing with this kind of thing, you have to pluck the hair."
The mermaid took the seabird from Ye Zhengdi and began to pluck the hair seriously. The tip of the mermaid's fingernails is so strong that it didn't let go of even a small fluff. Seeing that it was pulled seriously, Ye Zheng simply moved everything else back to the edge of the stone nest and sorted out today's spoils. Ye Zheng put away the big leaves and put away the round fruits the size of jujubes. She plucked a dozen clean bird feathers for her use, and then went to the beach with an arrowhead.
The speed of the mermaid was very fast. When Ye Zheng returned, he found that it had plucked most of the bird's hair. Ye Zheng cut open the bird's belly with an arrow and started to deal with the second seabird.
After the mermaid finished getting the seabird in his hand, he grabbed the seabird in Ye Zheng's hand and did the same. Soon the second seabird was the same as the first, and its skin was clean.
Ye Zheng cut off a piece of flesh with skin and handed it to it. The mermaid hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth and took it.
It froze for a while with the meat in its mouth.
Before Ye Zheng asked if it was delicious, he saw the mermaid spit it out in a hurry. The spit was not finished yet, probably because the residual taste was still relatively heavy. The mermaid's mouth opened and closed. Ye Zheng saw its tongue licking his own mouth constantly. It chased his own tail and turned a few big circles.
It's like you can avoid the smell in your mouth.
Ye Zheng couldn't help laughing hahaha. It was the first time that a girl's unique crisp voice came out of her mouth so brightly.
The mermaid turned over and emerged from the water again. It looked at Ye Zheng blankly, and spat out the seawater in its mouth. Ye Zheng said a lot in front of the mermaid, but it was the first time he laughed like this. The mermaid came ashore again, stretched out its claws and touched Ye Zheng's throat in surprise, then opened its mouth, and after a while, it made syllables similar to "ha, ha, ha".
It sounded weird, like some kind of animal panting.
"Okay," Ye Zheng touched the mermaid's head with a smile, "I can teach you when you can speak later..." Ye Zheng suddenly stopped his words.
and many more! What did she just say
Ye Zheng went back and thought about what she just said, what did she say she wanted to teach the mermaid? Teach it to speak!
Ye Zheng was shocked by his own thought. Does this sound like a good idea? She has long discovered that the merman is very curious about her behavior and has a sense of imitation. She originally just thought of treating it as a marine creature like a dolphin or a sea lion, relying on conditioned reflexes to teach it to understand its own meaning, but speaking—
For the first time, Ye Zheng discovered that this is possible! Unlike other animals, mermaids can only make simple calls. They can imitate Ye Zheng's syllables and pronunciation. Although due to developmental reasons, it can't make sounds that Ye Zheng can hear fluently for the time being, but with time... ...
Ye Zheng was excited, she looked at the mermaid with bright eyes, as if it would be able to speak as an adult tomorrow, learn to speak the day after tomorrow, and the two of them would be able to communicate harmoniously the day after tomorrow!
She couldn't help but took a step forward, rubbed its head again, and said in a very soft voice with a pleasant face: "How about I teach you to speak? Then we can play happily."
The mermaid tilted its head to look at her. Although it couldn't understand what Ye Zheng was saying, the joy in Ye Zheng attracted it. It shook its body with difficulty, lay down, its tail approached Ye Zheng, and patted her instep lightly.
Ye Zheng has seen the exchanges between mermaids. When the mermaid communicated with its partners last night, Ye Zheng had seen them tap each other's tails with their tails. It was a very friendly communication behavior.
Ye Zheng didn't have a tail, so the mermaid had no choice but to slap her on the instep. Ye Zheng thought for a while, then stretched out a foot and patted the tip of the mermaid's tail with the instep, so the mermaid patted the tip of her tail again, no, it was the instep...
Ye Zheng stopped in time before this behavior of slapping each other's tails became endless. She stood and looked at the mermaid who was tilting her head to look at her, and became more and more determined to that idea. The interaction between them is very good, which is a very good foundation.
Ye Zheng felt that he had thought of a very good note, which was really witty. Even after a hard day's work, her spirit recovered. Ye Zheng simply picked up the seabird meat that was still on the side, and waved at the mermaid: "Come on? Would you like to eat fruit together?"
Ye Zheng walked briskly towards the residence with his hands behind his back, the mermaid dragging his tail and struggling to follow behind. When Ye Zheng put down the seabird and looked back, the mermaid was crawling hard in her direction. So Ye Zheng started to walk back again and stood in front of the mermaid.
The mermaid stopped moving, it raised its arms and looked up at Ye Zheng, who was looking at it.
Ye Zheng stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Let's walk slowly together."
The mermaid obediently put a cold paw in the palm of Ye Zheng's palm, Ye Zheng pouted and nodded at its other paw, so the mermaid also put the other paw in Ye Zheng's hand inside.
Ye Zheng clenched its claws, half bent, and began to walk backwards carefully. The mermaid also twisted its tail happily, half relying on itself and half being dragged by Ye Zheng. Sure enough, it still prefers this method to crawling by dragging its big tail with its forelegs.
Looking down at the road, Ye Zheng raised his head and found that the mermaid's big eyes kept looking at her, trusting Ye Zheng's drag, and Ye Zheng couldn't help showing him an encouraging smile.
