Ye Zheng heard that the sound of the rain outside was getting quieter. She lifted the seaweed and looked outside. Sure enough, the raindrops that were the size of beans had now turned into tiny needles.
Because she herself is in a small stone nest that shelters from the wind and rain, now she has the leisure to worry about the rainy weather outside. The mermaid squeezed to Ye Zheng's side to accompany her to look out. When I was safe, watching the waves didn't feel as scary as before. Ye Zheng only thinks that the waves that rush up one after another are very beautiful. They rush into the air with the tip of the white flowers and then recommend it. There is a kind of majestic beauty.
After watching for a while, the mermaid couldn't help it. Their rock nest was at a relatively high place, and the mermaid simply rolled down the slope slowly, leaving traces on the beach that were quickly washed away by the rain, and finally climbed back into the sea. When they got to the sea, the mermaid jumped and tossed and jumped a few times on the sea with great interest, and then sank into the sea and went to the distance.
Ye Zheng knew in his heart that the mermaid likes water after all, and maybe it enjoys such rainy days just like some humans who love surfing. It hasn't been half a day this day, and the mermaid must have rushed back to pick her up. Although Ye Zheng didn't know how the mermaid knew her specific location, she intuitioned that she would definitely understand in the future.
Taking advantage of the mermaid's absence, Ye Zheng cleaned up the environment in this small stone nest again. The two of them are still demarcating territory in the stone nest. The place where the hay stalks were laid was where Ye Zheng was sitting, and the place where the stones were half hidden by the sand was where the mermaid stayed.
Of course, except when they are going to sleep at night, they rarely bother about the division of the site. The mermaid is not on the shore most of the time, and the sleep time is much shorter than that of Ye Zheng. Most of the time this nest is for Ye Zheng's private use. something. So when Ye Zheng was just coaxing the mermaid, he moved around and found that the mermaid's body seemed to have grown a little bigger
The stone nest is small, not spacious and low, but when Ye Zheng and the mermaid squeezed together before, it didn't seem to be so crowded, right
Thinking of this, Ye Zheng couldn't sit still. After finally waiting for the rain to stop outside, the clouds cleared and the sun appeared, she hurriedly ran to a big tree not far from Shiwo to measure her height.
When he first came, Ye Zheng was bored and dragged the mermaid along with himself to carve his height on the trunk of this tree. Ye Zheng compared the traces left over ten days ago and found that his head was still motionless on that line. Come to think of it, whether it's a tree or Ye Zheng himself, it can't grow a few centimeters in ten days, right
but... ...
Ye Zheng's eyes fell on the scale of the mermaid, and he gestured with some worry. According to the size of the mermaid just stuffed into the stone nest, how long did it grow
You know, from what Ye Zheng has seen when looking at an adult fish, the mermaid is not just standing upright. For every centimeter long, its total body volume will definitely increase by a lot of cubic centimeters, especially the most important sturdy tail of the mermaid. . Ye Zheng is now comparing the vertical and horizontal ratios, and he always feels that his feeling is right. The mermaid should be a little bigger. It's just that they have to meet each other every day, so Ye Zheng didn't notice it.
But this one is bigger... Ye Zheng muttered, isn't this a bit too much
Ye Zheng felt that it was too imprecise to make gestures here, she simply waited for the mermaid to come back, and then dragged it over to mark it.
For the rest of the time, Ye Zheng took the dried fish out again and dried it on the dry straw pile. She washed all the remaining "potatoes", peeled them, soaked them in water and cut them into pieces, and then started drying them. Ye Zheng is not sure how long these things can be kept, but she still wants to save as much as possible. After all, she didn't know when the fruits would disappear or if the marmots on that island would dig up all the potatoes. It's always good to take precautions before they happen.
Ye Zheng checked and reinforced the roof, checked and washed her clothes, and after doing these daily routines, she started shooting fish in the water with a bow and arrow. Although the mermaid still brings some seafood every day, most of it is fish and shrimp, but Ye Zheng is not willing to rely only on the mermaid to obtain seafood.
She still remembered that one day the mermaid was surprised when he found out that Ye Zheng had the fish it brought back. Zheng was salted and sun-dried.
Ye Zheng stared at the school of fish that came out to play or forage after the heavy rain, and then shot out with an arrow—missing.
Ye Zheng sighed, the resistance in the water is too great, even if the pulley on the bow and arrow can amplify her strength, it is still too inconvenient in front of these flexible underwater fish.
Ye Zheng waded into the water and swam towards the arrow shaft that was floating up and down in the water.
Just as Ye Zheng was swimming back while holding the arrow shaft, she saw the fins of the mermaid in the distance. She simply stopped her swimming posture, kept her feet in the water, and waved to the mermaid in the distance.
The mermaid quickly rushed in front of her and swam around her a few times, thinking that she was very curious. When Ye Zheng was exploring other islands, the mermaid was no longer "home". This was the first time the mermaid saw Ye Zheng swimming in the water.
It held Ye Zheng's ankle and pulled Ye Zheng into the sea. Ye Zheng found that its strength in the water is much stronger than that on the ground! Obviously, its wrist bones swayed so little, Ye Zheng felt that she couldn't show even a little bit of instinctive resistance in the face of such a pulling force. Mermaids are naturally the darlings of the sea, presumably all the prey caught by him. Can't break free.
However, Ye Zheng was already mentally prepared when the mermaid held her ankle. When the mermaid pulled Ye Zheng to the surface, she took a deep breath and dived in with her eyes closed.
Although Ye Zheng didn't open her eyes, she felt that the mermaid was already in front of her at the moment, looking at Ye Zheng curiously in the water.
The mermaid's claws dangled at the tip of her nose, and then the claws touched Ye Zheng's eyelids, perhaps wondering why Ye Zheng closed his eyes.
As it was curious, it gently pushed Ye Zheng's eyelids upwards.
... WTF!
Ye Zheng only felt that his eyeballs, which were suddenly exposed to the sea water, suddenly stinged. Ye Zheng threw off the mermaid's claws, kicked his legs and began to float up. Ye Zheng went ashore and didn't care about the mermaid who pushed her back to the shore, so she turned around and started running towards the lake.
Ye Zheng didn't feel relieved until he washed his eyes with lake water many times. In fact, when she was running, Ye Zheng already felt that the eyeballs were not as painful as the beginning, but because of the corrosive nature of seawater, she was worried that there would be residues, so she washed it a few more times.
When Ye Zheng wiped his eyes and walked back, the mermaid was already obediently waiting on the beach.
Seeing Ye Zheng walking over, the mermaid moved hard towards her twice, then stopped again, her tail moving uneasily, obviously knowing that she had done something wrong, and some did not dare to climb over happily as before.
Ye Zheng squatted down in front of the mermaid, rubbed its head, and whispered, "You know what? I can't open my eyes in the sea."
The mermaid's gaze fell on Ye Zheng's right eye that it had just opened. Ye Zheng himself knew that her right eye was a little red and swollen because of the rubbing just now. The mermaid's cold claws carefully touched Ye Zheng's eyelids and rubbed gently.
"Okay," Ye Zheng patted it on the face and smiled at it, "I'm fine now." After speaking, he stood up and wanted to leave.
Then the mermaid pulled her. The mermaid lowered her head and wondered what she was thinking. When Ye Zheng squatted down and looked at it again, the mermaid finally slowly held her tail in front of her.
When Ye Zheng was wondering, he saw the mermaid lovingly touch his shiny scaled tail, and then cut off the thin layer of tail yarn about the length of Ye Zheng's index finger on the tip of the tail!
Ye Zheng was shocked. Ye Zheng knew how precious the mermaid was. Especially the gauze-like thing on the tip of its tail, when the mermaid swims in the water, the gauze looks particularly beautiful when it sways in the water.
Ye Zheng has seen the tulle on the tail of an adult fish, which is wider and longer than that of this mermaid. The whole body of the mermaid, from the teeth, to the muscles, claws, and tail, is all majestic.
Only the slippery gelatinous hair on its head and the tulle on the tip of its tail looked like it had little use for anything other than viewing. But the beauty-loving mermaid not only likes Ye Zheng wiggling the "hair" on his head, when he is curled up on the shore, he will always touch the gauze-like thing with his tail in his arms.
But now, the mermaid has actually cut it off. Is there any nerve on the tulle that will hurt Ye Zheng? For the time being, I don't think about it. Does the mermaid really want to swim in the water with a bare tail? !
I saw that the mermaid touched the layer of tulle lovingly with its paws again, and then handed it to Ye Zheng reluctantly.
Ye Zheng had never touched this material. Although the mermaid likes to pat her with its tail, Ye Zheng has never taken the initiative to touch the tip of its tail. After all, it is a place that the mermaid cares about very much. It was clearly sliding on Ye Zheng's hand and was as soft as silk, but it felt a little hard, as if it had been shaped by water.
Seeing Ye Zheng holding his "tulle" at a loss, the mermaid took the tulle over and covered Ye Zheng's eyes.
Through this layer of transparent tulle, Ye Zheng could see the mermaid's big eyes looking at her very seriously.
