Ye Zheng slept half-awake for a long time.
During this period, she woke up in a daze several times, and found that the sky was still dark, and the bright stars were still hanging in the sky, so she fell asleep again in a daze.
However, when she had opened her eyes countless times and found that it was still the same dark night, she finally panicked.
Ye Zheng has always been a person with a very regular life. She must go to bed before eleven o'clock, and she will automatically wake up from her sleep around six in the morning, full of energy. Even if it was because she didn't sleep deeply enough this time, and she slept an extra hour or two to replenish her energy, it should be dawn, right
Ye Zheng's stomach growled, and she realized with an ugly face that she must be hungry. And not just hungry, very hungry. That kind of feeling is like she didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and she was hungry until noon, which made people feel flustered and short of breath.
No, because the sky hadn't been up, she had slept more than seven or eight hours, she had already slept for more than twelve hours!
This should be the equator! Ye Zheng has never heard that the night at the equator can be so long.
"Damn it, damn it. Damn it, I must have damn it..." Ye Zheng scolded, but his heart became more and more flustered. She kept talking to herself, pouring out a fierce tone of resentment, trying to use it to relieve the coolness that spread from her chest to her whole body.
"Absolutely not. No." She said to herself in a panic, Ye Zheng's hands trembled as she tried to untie the denim pants tied to her, she couldn't sit on the tree trunk any more, she thought desperately To go down the tree to find. But her hands were too strong to be under her own control, and she always slipped when untying a knot.
Yesterday, she walked all the way, the peculiar-looking "coconut" and coconut tree, the seagull that only looks like five, the "big lobster" with bright skin, and... the big fish that danced gracefully in the moonlight , creatures that exist only in novels and movies.
Ye Zheng suddenly lost all her strength. She leaned against the tree trunk in a slump, thinking: Obviously, she should have discovered this when she first woke up. She is definitely not on some small island in the Caribbean Sea where she thinks she is now. As for where it is, Ye Zheng doesn't care anymore.
Ye Zheng thought of her father and mother who told her to "take more photos" before the trip, and when she thought of never seeing her parents who always hurt her, the tip of her nose was sour, and astringency came out of her throat.
Ye Zheng leaned against the tree trunk. After all, she was only a high school student under the age of sixteen. Fear, fear, pain, and sadness, wave after wave of emotions hit her heart that was not strong enough. Ye Zheng first whimpered in a low voice, and then thought that there was no one else in this place anyway, so he simply grinned and wept without image. The cry was miserable and spread far.
Ye Zheng has never cried so openly since he was a child. As soon as the tears came out, it was like uncontrollable. The more Ye Zheng cried, the more sad and wronged he became, and the more sad he was, the more he cried. At the end, her throat was hoarse, and her tears dried on her cheeks, layer after layer, stinging from the sea breeze, Ye Zheng could still hear the grief she struggled to send out of her throat. the sound of.
But gradually, another voice sounded in her ears. She found it difficult to describe how the voice made her feel, it wasn't like "hearing" it, it was more like it went straight into her head.
It was a very soft, light voice, and a very strange rhythm, but it had a strangely calming feeling, like a long, slow tune. Ye Zheng felt that she was being touched by a soft hand, and the feeling of grief in her heart receded a little unexpectedly.
Ye Zheng couldn't help looking around, and then saw another voice lying on the reef - it was the mermaid, which propped up its upper body with its two arms. This time, it didn't look at Ye Zheng sitting on the tree anymore, it just looked up, and Ye Zheng could see its mouth moving. Maybe... no, that sound should have come from it.
This time, Ye Zheng didn't have the feeling of helplessness when she saw it. She sat on the tree trunk and listened to the gentle voice and melody. Tears gradually stopped unconsciously, until the last tune stopped. Ye Zheng just recovered from the immersed music. Ye Zheng wiped his eyes, and when he looked at the reef again, the mermaid was gone again.
"Wait!" For some reason, Ye Zheng suddenly didn't want this sure to follow her all the way, and then the mermaid who jumped out from time to time to check her presence disappeared like this.
It was probably because its song just soothed her that she found herself alone in this world. Ye Zheng suddenly didn't want to let this guy who could feel his emotions leave—whether it was a strange fish or not.
"Wait a minute!" Ye Zheng shouted, hurriedly untied the cloth wrapped around his legs, grinned, hugged the tree trunk and slid down, then ran towards the reef.
"Wait, wait a minute!" She shouted, and ran to the seaside, the dark reef was still quietly let the waves beat, but the mermaid disappeared.
Ye Zheng was standing on the beach in despair. She couldn't tell how this disappointment came up in waves. She shook her head with a wry smile, and murmured, "Aren't you even here?"
Just when she gave up and was about to leave, with a bang, another thing was thrown out of the sea by the mermaid and landed in front of her again accurately.
Ye Zheng bent down, picked up this dull thing from the beach, and looked at the starlight carefully.
This is a piece of coral, or something Ye Zheng has never seen before, a purple coral that glows softly under the starlight. It must be the mermaid who got it up from the bottom of the sea.
Ye Zheng gratefully touched the piece of coral in his hand, which was quite heavy, maybe it was the mermaid who came to comfort her.
At this time, the mermaid rushed to the beach with the waves, the lower part of its tail folded up, and the whole fish stood up, Ye Zheng could feel it was looking at her.
Ye Zheng walked over slowly, and she found that the mermaid showed a nervous attitude again.
But unlike the one I saw at the beginning, it leaned forward in a threatening posture of attack; this time, the upper body of the mermaid was slightly tilted back, the fins in front of him were not opened, and its mouth was slightly open card, revealing the sharp corners of a little bit of fangs around his lips.
Ye Zheng stood in front of it and looked up at it. This time, she could finally see the whole picture of this mermaid. It was actually not as huge as she had seen when she was frightened at first. Of course, compared to other real fish, it is already a big man. Its tail is already very large and looks very heavy. After being supported and standing up, its length was half a head taller than Ye Zheng.
"Hi, thank you for the coral."
Ye Zheng said, slowly spread his palm, and carefully handed it in front of him.
The mermaid looked at Ye Zheng blankly, and then looked at the piece of coral, Ye Zheng only felt a chill in the palm of his hand, and its claws quickly passed her hand and took the piece of coral.
Ye Zheng noticed that its half-expanded dorsal fin was also slowly closing.
"Thank you." Ye Zheng smiled at it and said again, regardless of whether it understood it or not. "Thank you so much."
The mermaid stretched out its claws with sharp nails, and it slowly moved towards Ye Zheng.
Ye Zheng held her breath. Although she could see that the mermaid had no intention of attacking her, Ye Zheng was still a little scared with such sharp nails coming at her. She tried her best to keep the smile on her face, and kept telling herself to calm down, and then found that its claws landed on her throat.
It was too cold, Ye Zheng couldn't help shivering, and then saw that it quickly retracted his paw and pressed it on his throat again.
Ye Zheng watched this series of strange actions silently, and then heard a trembling, immature voice.
"Fine..."
Ye Zheng was stunned, did he want to say thank you? But why does this voice sound like... it sounds like...
"Crash-" A loud breaking sound came from the sea behind the mermaid. Ye Zheng saw a big fish with a scaly tail jumping up from the sea, and then plunged into the water heavily, splashing up. Very high splash. Ye Zheng could see clearly now that the length of the second mermaid was definitely more than two meters!
Ye Zheng's eyes fell back to the mermaid in front of him, who was still holding a coral. Don't look at how big it was compared to other fish, compared to his own kind...it immediately looked much smaller. While she was looking at it, the mermaid in front of her was still rubbing her throat, desperately trying to squeeze out the strange pronunciation of "thin..." again. The voice was the same as before, slender and childish like a milk cat meowing.
Ah, so it is. Ye Zheng felt as if she understood something, and her understanding of this fish was refreshed again.
Ye Zheng looked at it with a complicated expression, so this is still a minor who is learning pronunciation
What happened to the beautiful singing voice that just comforted her? Ye Zheng still remembered that it was lying on the reef with its head raised, and its mouth opened and closed, very impressive.
It turns out that it is already smart enough to find someone, no, is it looking for a fish to sing
The author has something to say: The male protagonist is not a species that can survive just by being cute. I think it can attract girls' attention better than many human men, give food, small gifts, and sing...
Climb up and see so many people who say it looks like a dog. Although this is a loyal dog text, there are many aquatic creatures in the ocean. Dolphins, sea lions, seals...especially the cubs are very curious...
