Chapter 2044 A Different Mermaid

Seeing that Zhao Lei looked fine.

Hu Zi rolled his eyes.

But he didn't leave.

Still standing on the shore looking at Zhao Lei.

But, I didn’t go into the sea.

Zhao Lei looked down again and found that the "mermaid" was gone.

He suddenly became anxious.

Then he realized that it was probably because of his loud voice that scared the other person.

He was a little annoyed.

After knocking his head with his hand, he began to search carefully again.

But until sunset, he did not see the "mermaid" again.

He felt very sorry.

He stood up and stretched deeply.

hungry.

As a result, the "mermaid" was not found.

No one noticed the smoke here either.

Not to mention the ships coming.

Dinner was wild fruits from the island.

There is also grilled fish.

There is no shortage of fresh water on the island.

Zhao Lei was lying on the beach.

The dark blue sky comes into view.

Star bright.

He laughed.

"Tiger, look."

“Lots of stars.”

Just the sight of the starry sky made him feel that it was not unfair for him to be stranded on an isolated island this time.

And
He also saw the "mermaid".

He was so surprised at the time and his attention was all on the fish tail that he didn't even see the "mermaid's" face clearly.

Maybe it’s because of the layer of sea water.

Everything seemed to be covered with a veil.

".I don't know if I'll have the chance to see you again before I leave."

Zhao Lei murmured.

Eyes slowly closed.

A lot happened today.

Now that I have calmed down, a feeling of exhaustion surges over me.

He forced himself to remind Hu Zi again, "Remember to wake me up in the middle of the night."

"We switch shifts."

As soon as he finished the last word, he fell asleep.

Hu Zi stayed by Zhao Lei's side.

Add leaves to the fire from time to time.

When I woke up again, the sun hadn't come out yet.

The sky was already beginning to lighten.

Zhao Lei was stunned for a second and then stood up suddenly.

He turned around, "Huzi, you didn't call me!"

Hu Zi glanced at Zhao Lei lazily.

There was no sound.

Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.

"You."

He patted Hu Zi's head and said, "Thank you."

He knew that Hu Zi didn't wake him up because he saw that he was too tired.

"I woke up."

"take a break."

"I'll watch the fire."

Seeing that Zhao Lei seemed in good spirits, Hu Zi didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Lei and closed his eyes.

Zhao Lei looked at the pile of leaves next to the fire and knew that Hu Zi must have been to the island once in the middle of the night.

There are a lot of wild fruits further away.

He smiled.

Hu Zi has done everything well.

Seeing that the fire did not need any more leaves for the time being, Zhao Lei walked towards the beach.

He woke up just in time.

You can also watch a sunrise over the sea.

He did not go into the sea.

He just let the sea water cover his feet.

If you walk too far, you won’t have time to go back and add more leaves.

The fire cannot be extinguished.

I wonder if anyone will discover the distress signal here today?
Zhao Lei looked into the distance.

Red light gradually seeped out from the sea surface.

Ok?
Zhao Lei suddenly lowered his head as if he realized something.

"beautiful-"

He quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

We can't scare the other party away this time.

The "mermaid" was still looking at him curiously.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He didn't dare to make any big movements.

Afraid of scaring the "mermaid" away. The face of the "mermaid" is very clear across the sea.

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 his teeth.

They are teeth with sharp curves like shark teeth.

The sharp contrast between the innocent girl's appearance and the fierce teeth made Zhao Lei's heart jump.

He was negligent.

"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.

But, why does it still have feet if it has such a big fish tail?
The strange appearance of this "mermaid" made Zhao Lei gasp.

No.

Maybe it's not a mermaid.

Or is this the difference between Western mermaids and Chinese mermaids?

Or, the difference between fairy tales and reality?

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.

What a mess.

However, he still looked at the face.

".Hello."

They stared at each other silently for a while, and saw that the other party had no intention of saying anything.

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 helpless expression made the "mermaid" laugh.

The innocent expression alleviated the discomfort Zhao Lei had previously felt because of the other person's strange appearance.

He laughed too.

"Do you understand me?"

"Hello."

While observing the "mermaid's" expression, he slowly squatted down.

Not knowing what to say, he just said hello again.

The distance to the "mermaid" has shortened a bit.

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.

"Just you?"

"Where are your parents?"

The mermaid looks like she is still a child, right?
"Are they around here 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 whether the “mermaid” didn’t understand what he said or the “mermaid” couldn’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 on a deserted island"

Zhao Lei murmured, "Maybe this is an extra encounter that God sent me..."

After passing its test
If this is true, Zhao Lei thinks it is worth it.

Zhao Lei talked a lot to the "mermaid" alone.

It was not until he felt the sun was scorching that he looked up and realized that he had missed the sunrise long ago.

Just busy chatting with the "mermaid".

Zhao Lei secretly mocked himself for being like a child who had never seen the world.

I have clearly met Hu Zi.

But, it’s “Mermaid”.

Although the "mermaid" in front of him was somewhat different from the mermaid in the fairy tale book he had read as a child.

But it still made him feel deeply moved.

It feels like a childhood fantasy coming true.

"what!"

Zhao Lei suddenly realized something.

He turned around and saw Hu Zi throwing a few leaves into the fire.

He hurriedly said goodbye to the "mermaid".

"I want to go back."

"I was supposed to be in charge of the fire. Hu Zi should rest."

He explained subconsciously, "Hu Zi 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 Hu Zi.

I completely forgot that Huzi was resting.
