Ye Zheng unconsciously grasped the bow that was scattered behind her. At this time, it seemed that only by tightly holding the handle of the bow that had accompanied her for a long time could she suppress the strange shyness that was churning in her heart. After all, such an action is really embarrassing, even if there is only a fish in front of it... but it is not just a fish.
When the mermaid stuck the last small red and swollen spot on the seaweed, Ye Zheng suddenly retracted his leg and immediately stood up from the beach.
The mermaid was still lying on the beach, claws still hanging.
After Ye Zheng got up, it slowly lowered its paws and looked up at her. When the sun was in the sky, its eyes turned into vertical pupils again. The mermaid has no expression. When it looks at people with vertical pupils, it always has a murderous feeling.
Ye Zheng thinks it must be angry, right? Ye Zheng thought about his actions just now: he lost his temper with it in the cave, then went ashore and looked at his wounds and ignored it, and now it has just finished coating itself with seaweed, she stood up and watched condescendingly it.
In this way, Ye Zheng felt that his behavior was not very good.
"Ha, ha." She laughed dryly, squatted down again, went over, reached out and touched the merman's head with the slippery plastic 'hair', "Do you need me to help you up?"
Of course the mermaid couldn't understand what she said, but that didn't prevent it from understanding Ye Zheng's actions. As Ye Zheng said, he held the mermaid's arm and lifted it up.
"God, you're so heavy," she murmured.
Don't look at this mermaid standing up to be only a head taller than her, not yet the average height of a white adult male she's usually seen. But her hands are heavy at the moment, and Ye Zheng feels that it is definitely more than a few hundred pounds.
If the mermaid is unwilling, Ye Zheng himself cannot force it to stand up anyway. But at this moment, its cold hand also held Ye Zheng's arm, and stood up so obediently, standing in front of Ye Zheng.
"Cough," Ye Zheng coughed, "Thank you..."
She was a little speechless again. How many times has she thanked this big fish from the beginning to the present? Not to mention a fish who can't understand her language at all, just a human who can communicate with her normally. Just saying thank you is too stingy, right
While thinking about it, Ye Zheng took stock of the things she had in her heart, bows, rags, arrows... She looked around subconsciously and found that there were a lot of long reed-like things growing on the shore.
Ye Zheng suddenly felt his eyes light up.
"Can you sit down and wait for me?"
Ye Zheng said, stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground.
The fish followed Ye Zheng's movements and looked down, then lay down again in the direction she instructed... Touching her toes, it was cold and itchy.
… just knew it would be like this.
Ye Zheng thought helplessly, and simply took a few steps back and sat gently on the edge of the clumps of long weeds.
The fish followed Ye Zheng's movements again. She patted the open space beside her and asked uncertainly, "Can you come over?"
Ye Zheng spoke, stretched out his arms, turned his palms inward, gestured, and then patted the empty sandy ground next to him again.
This time, the mermaid seemed to understand, its upper body propped up on the sand, then dragged its big tail and slid across the beach, looking like it was going to crawl in front of Ye Zheng.
Before Ye Zheng was finished secretly happy, the mermaid stopped. It lay back on the ground, then folded its big tail over and patted the sand on it with its nimble claws. After shooting the sand, it just curled up two steps away from Ye Zheng, staring at Ye Zheng with big eyes, obviously not wanting to move anymore.
"Okay, that's fine too." Ye Zheng muttered, crawling on land was obviously not his preferred way of acting.
Ye Zheng cut off the flexible-looking leaves with a sharp arrow, and then began to try to weave them. The movement of her hands attracted the big fish, it propped itself up with its arms, and looked intently at the long leaves and stems flying around Ye Zheng's fingertips.
Ye Zheng found that Yumu stared blankly at her finger, pursed his lips and smiled at it, turned his body on purpose, turned his back to the mermaid, and kept knitting in his hands.
Ye Zheng quickly braided the three leaves into a single line, while listening to the movement behind him distractedly. After a while, something cold was placed on Ye Zheng's shoulder. Ye Zheng turned his head slightly and saw that it was the mermaid's paw.
She raised her head again, the mermaid's head was above her shoulders, and her big eyes were staring at the leaf in Ye Zheng's hand.
Ye Zheng signaled it to lie down on the open space beside him again, and this time the mermaid obediently hugged his tail to Ye Zheng's side. But its head was placed on Ye Zheng's knee, and it was pulling her calf with its claws, for fear of missing Ye Zheng's movements.
Its head is not heavy, but after a long time, Ye Zheng still feels a little tired. She simply put her feet down and turned to face the mermaid so that she could see her flipping fingers.
Gradually, the things in Ye Zheng's hands took shape. During this period, she kept cutting long leaves, and later, Ye Zheng didn't even need to do it herself. The mermaid used its sharp nails to cut off so many long leaves for her that Ye Zheng had to hold its claws to stop it.
Ye Zheng finally made a headband with leaves tassels on the edge. For the sake of appearance, she also specially mixed the small flowers on this plant.
She finally buttoned the finished product on her head and smiled at the mermaid: "Look? How is it?"
Of course the mermaid had no way of answering her, but its movements meant everything.
It stared blankly for a while, then lifted up its upper body with Ye Zheng's knees, and grabbed the headband that was buckled on Ye Zheng's head. After that... I put it on my head.
The mermaid shook its head to the left, then to the right. After confirming that it would not fall, the mermaid raised its tail and shook it slightly—Ye Zheng guessed that this was probably a sign of happiness.
Then it tugged at the leaf hanging down in front of it, and then slowly took off the headband and handed it to Ye Zheng again. Judging from the comparison between the speed at which it took the head ring and the speed at which it returned the head ring, it was obviously reluctant to return the head ring.
Ye Zheng took the headband, stretched out her hand again, and put it on the mermaid's head again. She also patted its head and whispered, "This is for you."
She picked up the remaining small rope that was slightly shorter and had already formed, raised the mermaid's claws and tied the small grass rope to the mermaid's wrist bone.
The mermaid covered the one still on her head with one paw, and the other paw obediently stayed in the air, still being manipulated by Ye Zheng.
After Ye Zheng tied it up, it moved its claws curiously, then flicked its claws again, and found that the grass rope was still hanging on its wrist bone.
It raised its claws to its face, looked at the grass rope seriously, and slapped the ground with its tail slightly, obviously it was very satisfied with the two things it received.
It put down its claws, stared at Ye Zheng for a while, then jumped up with these two things and jumped back into the sea.
As the mermaid entered the water, the grass ring on its head immediately floated on the sea. Ye Zheng watched it stretch out a claw with a grass rope to hold the grass ring, and then pulled the head ring back. nautical miles.
Soon, another thing landed only five or six steps away from Ye Zheng.
It was a very, very beautiful conch, the size of Ye Zheng's four fists. Its shell was colored in the sun, and it shone with moving light in the light.
Ye Zheng looked into the sea, the mermaid's big tail waving happily on the sea, and then disappeared.
Ye Zheng picked up the big conch, the inside of the conch had been hollowed out by the mermaid, and it was light and not as heavy as Ye Zheng imagined. Ye Zheng couldn't put it down and looked at it over and over. The surface of the shell was a bit rough to the touch, but the entire surface of the shell was indeed intact, and even the mermaid's just throw didn't damage it. Ye Zheng thought: Maybe she can use it to hold things
Ye Zheng finally remembered to check the surrounding environment, her eyes fell on the big "reed" in front of her again, she could use it to weave some simple clothes, and maybe she could weave some other things, such as straw mat.
Ye Zheng thought that she would be able to start her new clothes after checking the whole island's environment. At this time, Ye Zheng finally felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
The corners of her mouth curved up unconsciously.
The author has something to say: vote me with weeds, and repay them with conch~~
