Chapter 2044 A Different Mermaid
Zhao Lei looked like nothing was wrong.
Huzi rolled his eyes.
But he didn't leave.
Still standing on the shore looking at Zhao Lei.
It’s just that I didn’t go into the sea.
Zhao Lei looked down again and found that the "mermaid" was gone.
He suddenly became anxious.
Then it became clear that his loud voice probably scared the other party.
He was a little annoyed.
After reaching out and knocking on his head, he started searching carefully.
But until sunset, he never saw the "mermaid" again.
He was very sorry.
Straightening up, he took a deep dive.
I'm hungry.
As a result, the "Mermaid" was not found.
No one noticed the smoke here either.
Not to mention a ship coming.
Dinner is wild fruit from the island.
There is also grilled fish.
There is no shortage of fresh water on the island either.
Zhao Lei was lying on the beach.
The dark blue sky came into view.
The stars shine brightly.
He laughed.
"Huzi, look."
"So many stars."
This starry sky alone made him feel that it was not unfair to be trapped on an isolated island this time.
And
He also saw a "mermaid".
He was so surprised at the time and his attention was all on the fish tail that he couldn't even see the "mermaid's" face clearly.
It's probably because there's a layer of sea water between them.
Everything seemed to be covered with a veil.
".I don't know if I will have a chance to see you again before I leave."
Zhao Lei murmured.
Eyes slowly closed.
A lot happened today.
When I calm down now, I feel tired.
He steeled himself and reminded Huzi again, "Remember to wake me up in the middle of the night."
"We change shifts."
After the last word fell, he fell asleep.
Huzi stayed by Zhao Lei's side.
Add leaves to the fire from time to time.
When I woke up again, the sun had not yet come out.
The sky was already getting a little bright.
Zhao Lei stood up suddenly after being stunned for a second.
He turned his head and said, "Huzi, you didn't call me!"
Huzi glanced lazily at Zhao Lei.
There was no sound.
Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.
"You."
He touched Huzi's head and said, "Thank you."
He knew that Huzi didn't wake him up because he was too tired.
"I woke up."
"You go and rest."
"I'll watch the fire."
Seeing that Zhao Lei was in good spirits, Hu Zi was not polite to Zhao Lei and closed his eyes.
Zhao Lei looked at the pile of leaves beside the fire and knew that Huzi must have been to the island once in the middle of the night.
There are still many wild fruits placed further away.
He smiled.
Huzi has done everything.
Seeing that there would be no need to add leaves to the fire for a while, Zhao Lei walked towards the seaside.
He woke up just in time.
You can also watch a sunrise over the sea.
He did not go into the sea.
Just let the sea water cover the soles of his feet.
If you go too far, it will be bad if you don’t have time to go back and add leaves.
The fire cannot be extinguished.
I wonder if anyone will find the distress signal here today?
Zhao Lei looked into the distance.
Red light gradually seeped out on the sea level.
Um?
Zhao Lei suddenly lowered his head as if aware.
"Beautiful-"
He hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth.
We can't scare the other party away this time.
Seeing the "mermaid" still looking at him curiously.
He breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
He didn't dare to make any big moves.
Afraid of scaring away the "mermaid". Across the sea, the face of the "Mermaid" is clearly visible.
It's the face of a little girl.
Eyes wide open.
He smiled subconsciously.
The other party was obviously stunned.
But soon, a big smile appeared on the little girl's face.
The corners of his grinning mouth revealed the teeth inside.
They are teeth with sharp curves like shark teeth.
The strong contrast between the innocent girl's appearance and the fierce teeth made Zhao Lei's heart skip a beat.
It was his negligence.
"Mermaids" are not necessarily weak and harmless.
His body tensed slightly.
The smile on his face remained unchanged.
He was about to say something.
Then, he froze.
It’s not surprising that “mermaids” have hands.
However, why does it still have legs when it has such a big fish tail?
The weird appearance of this "mermaid" made Zhao Lei gasp.
No.
Maybe it's not a "mermaid" after all.
Or is this the difference between Western-style mermaids and Chinese-style mermaids?
Or, the difference between fairy tales and reality?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.
What a mess.
However, he still looked at his face.
".Hello."
They looked at each other silently for a while, but saw that the other party had no intention of making a sound.
Zhao Lei spoke first.
Then he thought: Can the other party understand human language?
He was at a loss.
".My name is Zhao Lei."
"Giggle~"
Zhao Lei's confused expression made "Mermaid" laugh.
The innocent expression made Zhao Lei's previous discomfort due to the other party's weird appearance fade away a lot.
He laughed too.
"Do you understand me?"
"Hello."
While observing the "mermaid's" expression, he slowly squatted down.
Not knowing what to say, he said hello again.
The distance between the "Mermaid" and "Mermaid" has become a little closer.
The "Mermaid" watched his movements and did not run away.
The smile in Zhao Lei's eyes deepened.
"Do you live here?"
Zhao Lei asked curiously.
"Are you alone?"
"Where are your parents?"
The "Mermaid" looks like a child, right?
"Are they around too?"
Zhao Lei said a lot.
The "mermaid" just tilted her head and looked at him.
Zhao Lei shut up.
He smiled bitterly.
I don't know if the "mermaid" can't understand him, or if the "mermaid" can't speak.
He shook his head.
The corners of his mouth widened.
"Forget it, don't worry about those problems."
"I didn't expect to meet you this time when I was living on an isolated island"
Zhao Lei murmured, "Maybe this is an extra encounter God sent me..."
After passing its trial
If this is really the case, Zhao Lei thinks it is worth it.
Zhao Lei talked a lot to the "Mermaid" alone.
It wasn't until he felt the sun was burning fiercely that he looked up and realized that he had missed the sunrise.
I just stopped by to chat with the "Mermaid".
Zhao Lei secretly laughed at himself like a child who has never seen the world.
It's obvious that he has already met Hu Zi.
But, it’s a “mermaid”.
Although the "mermaid" in front of him was different from the mermaids in the fairy tale books he read when he was a child.
But it still made him deeply moved.
It feels like a childhood fantasy coming true.
"Ah!"
Zhao Lei suddenly realized something.
He turned around and saw Huzi throwing a few leaves towards the fire.
He hurriedly said goodbye to the "mermaid".
"I'm going back."
"I was originally in charge of the fire, Hu Zi should rest."
He explained subconsciously, "As a result, Huzi was awakened by my loud scream just now."
He was so excited when he first saw the "Mermaid" that he wanted to share his amazing discovery with Huzi.
I completely forgot that Huzi was resting.
