The sky outside the cave was finally clearing up, Ye Zheng pushed it and was lying comfortably in her arms, using her as a mermaid on the pillow.
"Andrew?"
When Andrew looked up at Ye Zheng, Ye Zheng raised his finger and pointed out, "It's sunny."
Andrew looked out along the place where Ye Zheng pointed, the sky was washed by the rainstorm and the sky was blue and clear. If it weren't for the fact that the grass and sand around the entrance of the cave were still wet, the tranquility outside would not look like it was hit by wind and waves.
At this time, safe and comfortable, with the mermaid in hand, Ye Zheng finally began to think about the "home" that was destroyed by the storm before she left. Thinking of this, Ye Zheng really couldn't help sighing. She and Andrew spent a lot of effort to make the house on the island look good. In an instant, everything went to zero, and I don't know how much of their items are left now.
She couldn't help but touched the merman's cheek again, and was glad again that Andrew seemed to be fine now.
But the mermaid just didn't seem to have any danger to her life. Compared with the past, the spirit of the mermaid was still a little worse. Ye Zheng felt that Andrew should not be able to take her to swim anymore.
Ye Zheng slowly put Andrew back on the ground, free from the pressure of Andrew's weight, Ye Zheng suddenly felt that his breathing was much easier. She stood up and stomped her feet, raised her legs and walked out of the cave. Ye Zheng felt that since Andrew, the main force of the two of them, was injured, she should shoulder the responsibility of searching the surrounding environment and finding food.
Before Ye Zheng was taken away by Andrew, she returned from another island with the mermaid, and she happened to have a bow and arrow on her body at that time. And because of being held by Andrew all the time, most of Ye Zheng's bows and arrows in the bag made of walrus skin were left in the bag. Although some of the shafts were broken due to the impact of the waves, the shank and string made of bone and walrus skin were still intact.
Ye Zheng hoped that with the little weapon left, she would be able to inspect the surrounding area of about 300 to 400 meters.
Ye Zheng took a deep breath, lowered his head, smiled and said softly to the mermaid, "Wait here for me to come back."
After speaking, Ye Zheng wanted to walk outside the cave.
Did not go.
Ye Zheng looked down at the mermaid who was holding his ankle, the latter was looking up at Ye Zheng, and there was a bit of pity in his wet eyes.
After Andrew stopped Ye Zheng, he threw his tail in front of Ye Zheng. Andrew supported his upper body with one arm, and raised the other arm to hug Ye Zheng's thigh.
Ye Zheng has no doubt that if Andrew's tail is not a fish's tail but a snake's tail, then the tail that is trying to wrap her around should have wrapped around her directly at this moment.
"Clearly," Ye Zheng heard Andrew say softly, "No."
The mermaid meant to tell Ye Zheng not to go.
Ye Zheng took a breath, lowered his body, and said in a good voice, "But we have to eat."
Ye Zheng stretched out her hand, and the pulp of her index finger gently slid along the wound on Andrew's back. Although there is no more bleeding, the mermaid's wound is not a good one. When Ye Zheng touched Andrew's still intact skin, Andrew still shook his body slightly, pretended that nothing had happened, still raised his head and looked at Ye Zheng eagerly.
The attentive Ye Zheng certainly wouldn't miss Andrew's little gestures, she reluctantly reached out and tapped the forehead of Andrew, who pretended to be okay: "I want food."
One word is enough to express what Ye Zheng meant. She lifted her left foot, which was not held by Andrew, and crossed the big tail of the mermaid.
However, Ye Zheng's firm intention to express his desire to go out still didn't work. There was a big guy weighing several hundred pounds hanging on the upper half of his right leg. Ye Zheng only took two or three steps, and then he found that it was extremely difficult for him to act. . Before her knee was dislocated by the mermaid's weight, Ye Zheng decided to stop in time.
Ye Zheng lowered his head and stared at the mermaid who didn't let go, and Andrew looked at her quietly without showing weakness. This duel in eyes finally ended with Ye Zheng's surrender.
"Okay, okay." Ye Zheng muttered, "Let's go out with you, but it's okay, you lie outside and I'll walk by the side."
Ye Zheng bent down, grabbed Andrew's two claws with both hands, and slowly moved out. In the past, when they were on the beach, Andrew and Ye Zheng would let Ye Zheng carry it when they were playing, and it would follow Ye Zheng with its tail twisted.
Because Ye Zheng was worried about the wound on the mermaid's back, Ye Zheng was afraid that it would drive the wound while walking with its tail twisting, so she led the mermaid outside at a slower speed than usual.
After finally taking the mermaid out, standing under the sun, Ye Zheng only felt like he was sweating again.
As soon as one person and one fish came to the grass outside the cave, Ye Zheng immediately let go of Andrew's hand. She pointed around casually, "You stay here, I'll just... um, go for a walk."
Ye Zheng looked around. Except for a small piece of grass in front of the cave, there was a small piece of beach extending outside the grass. Behind the beach, Ye Zheng thought it was land. meter high cliffs.
Ye Zheng had seen such terrain before when he was traveling. At that time, in order to go down to the beach at the bottom of the valley, there were artificial stairs above the cliffs.
But now Ye Zheng can only do nothing in the face of such a cliff. These ten-meter-high cliffs completely blocked the path of exploration envisioned by Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng looked back at the mermaid lying on the grass. The latter was staring at Ye Zheng, his tail swaying slightly, as if he was proud.
This big guy must have long known that the terrain here is like this! Ye Zheng thought angrily and hilariously, no wonder it was still clinging to her leg like a plaster when she was in the cave, and when she was outside, she lay on the ground so relieved. The mermaid knew that Ye Zheng couldn't leave its sight.
Ye Zheng stomped his feet, smiled at Andrew, and walked towards the inside. Andrew stood up and looked at Ye Zheng's figure walking away, and when he was waiting for Ye Zheng to turn back, he immediately lay down and stopped her, pretending that the person who just stared at Ye Zheng was not himself.
Ye Zheng tapped the grass with the handle of the bow and arrow to see if there were any snakes in it.
But think about it, there are no other creatures in this place, even the vegetation is not rich enough, and it is not strange that there are no snakes.
Ye Zheng went around for a while, and she went back empty-handed and dejected in less than 20 minutes. Not to mention hitting a bird, even the few scattered trees have no fruit.
The mermaid was still lying on the ground waiting for Ye Zheng. Seeing Ye Zheng walking back, Andrew flicked his tail and called her.
"Clang, clang, clang."
"Okay, I know you're calling me." Ye Zheng glanced at the mermaid pretending to be angry, and sat down beside the mermaid.
Andrew consciously leaned his head on Ye Zheng's lap and asked her to scratch his head for him.
Ye Zheng wasn't really angry with the mermaid. She worked tirelessly to braid Andrew's hair and let it go, and braided and turned it back. While her hands were busy, she thought worriedly, what should I do? Without food, it's good to say that she can fight hunger to some extent, but without fresh water, she can't fight for long.
Ye Zheng was distracted and thinking about things, and the work in his hands stopped unconsciously.
Andrew noticed it, and it raised its head, "Zhengzheng." Its arms were raised, its paws held Ye Zheng's hand, and it tilted its head to look at her.
"Think about the food," Ye Zheng held the merman's cold cheeks, "if I'm dying of starvation, I'll make you into sashimi."
As Ye Zheng said, he lowered his head and took a small sip on Andrew's cheek: "It tastes so good, it must be delicious when made into sashimi and served with mustard, right?"
The mermaid had never heard Ye Zheng say sashimi and mustard, but he had heard the word "sashimi" when he sliced fish for Ye Zheng and knew what it meant.
Andrew thought about it seriously, raised his head, and imitated Ye Zheng's appearance. He also took a small bite on Ye Zheng's cheek: "Zhengzheng... piece"
It said the last word uncertainly, and then looked at Ye Zheng proudly.
"You want to eat me?" Ye Zheng pretended to be angry, then lowered his head and bit Andrew lightly, "Andrew Piece!"
Andrew painted the scoop according to the gourd, "Chongzheng piece!"
One person and one fish seem to have forgotten that they are now trapped on a nearly desolate little beach, with no food or fresh water, and you, who are quite naive, have come and gone a lot.
Ye Zheng stretched out his hand at last, blocking Andrew's mouth from coming closer again, and while smiling crisply, he panted slightly and said, "Stop, stop, don't play like this."
Ye Zheng emphasized his tone and repeated to Andrew, important things need to be said three times
"Food, food, we need food."
After Ye Zheng finished speaking, Andrew insisted on kissing Ye Zheng one last time on the face before he stretched out his paw and pointed to the beach in the distance: "food".
Ye Zheng turned his head and saw that two adult fish were showing their heads in the sea, looking at their direction with expressionless faces. In front of the two mermaids, there was a large piece of pure white floating up and down. It looks like fish.
The two of them had so much fun just now that Ye Zheng didn't notice any adult fish approaching. But that's not the point. The important thing is that Ye Zheng found that the small mermaid had reddish-brown fins, and it looked like a female fish he had seen before.
The same mermaid came twice for Andrew...
"Oh no," Ye Zheng moaned in a low voice and asked Andrew incoherently, "So, are those your parents? Or some other relatives and friends—no, the important thing is that they saw... .”
"God..."
Ye Zheng hopes that it would be nice if time could be reversed at this moment.
