Deserted Island Survival Notes

Chapter 4

Ye Zheng slept for a long time, half asleep.

During this period, she woke up several times in a daze, 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 opened her eyes countless times and found that it was still dark as before, she finally panicked.

Ye Zheng has always been a very regular person. She will definitely go to bed before eleven o'clock, and she will automatically wake up from her sleep around six o'clock in the morning, and she will be full of energy. Even if it was because she didn't sleep deeply enough this time and slept an extra hour or two to replenish her energy, it should still be dawn, right?

Ye Zheng's stomach growled loudly, and she realized with an ugly face that she must be hungry. And not just hungry, but very hungry. It felt like she hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning and was hungry until noon, a feeling of hunger that made her feel panicked and short of breath.

No, because it never got bright, she slept for more than seven or eight hours, she slept for more than twelve hours!

This should be the equator! Ye Zheng had never heard that the night at the equator could be so long.

"Damn, damn. Damn it, I must have seen a ghost..." Ye Zheng cursed, but his heart became more and more panicked. She kept talking to herself, pouring out her angry and angry tone, trying to use it to relieve the chill 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 he tried to untie the denim pants that bound her. She could no longer sit safely on the tree trunk. She desperately wanted to Going down the tree to find. But her hands were too strong to be controlled by herself. When she untied a knot, her hands always slipped.

Yesterday she walked all the way, seeing the strange-looking "coconut" and coconut trees, the seagulls that were only about five inches alike, the "big lobster" in bright leather, and... that big lobster jumping gracefully in the moonlight. Fish are creatures that only exist in novels and movies.

Ye Zheng suddenly lost all her strength. She leaned slumped against the tree trunk, thinking in a daze: She should have discovered this when she just woke up. She is definitely not on a small island in the Caribbean that she thought she was now. As for where this is, Ye Zheng no longer cares.

Ye Zheng thought of her father and mother who told her to "take more photos" before the trip. Thinking of never seeing her parents who always loved her again, the tip of her nose became sour and astringency flowed 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, sadness, wave after wave of emotions impacted her heart, which was not strong enough. Ye Zheng first started to cry quietly, and then he thought that there was no one else in this place anyway, so he simply grinned and started to cry without any image. The cry was pitiful and could be heard far away.

Ye Zheng has never cried so openly since he was a child. As soon as the tears came out, it was as if they were uncontrollable. The more Ye Zheng cried, the more sad and wronged he felt, and the more sad he felt, the more he cried. By the end, her throat had become mute, and her tears dried layer after layer on her cheeks, which were stung by the sea breeze. Ye Zheng still heard the fragments of grief that she struggled to express from her throat. the sound of.

But gradually, another voice sounded in her ears. She found it difficult to describe the feeling that voice brought to her. It was not like she could "hear" it, but more like the voice had penetrated directly into her head.

It was a very soft, light voice with a very strange melody, but it had a strange and 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 unexpectedly receded a little.

Ye Zheng couldn't help but look around, and then saw another voice lying on the reef - it was still the mermaid, which used its two arms to support its upper body. This time, it didn't look at Ye Zheng sitting on the tree anymore. It just raised its head, and Ye Zheng could see its mouth moving. Maybe... no, that sound should come from it.

This time, Ye Zheng didn't feel helpless after seeing it. She sat on the tree trunk and listened intently to the gentle sound and melody. Her tears gradually and unconsciously stopped until the last tune stopped. Ye Zheng just recovered from the music he was immersed in. Ye Zheng wiped his eyes and looked at the reef again, but the mermaid was gone again.

"Wait!" For some reason, Ye Zheng suddenly didn't want this mermaid who must have followed her all the way, and then jumped out from time to time to make her presence felt, to disappear again.

Probably because its song just comforted her, she realized that she was alone in this world. Ye Zheng suddenly didn't want to let this guy who could feel his own emotions leave - no matter if 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 rock.

"Wait, wait a minute!" she shouted and ran to the beach. The dark rock was still quietly letting the waves beat, but the mermaid was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Zheng stood on the beach in despair. She couldn't explain why this feeling of disappointment came up in waves. She smiled bitterly, shook her head, and murmured: "Are you even here?"

Just when she gave up and was about to leave, there was a "crash" and another object was thrown out of the sea by the mermaid, and it landed accurately in front of her again.

Ye Zheng bent down, picked up the dark thing from the beach, and then looked at it carefully against the stars.

This was a piece of coral, something Ye Zheng had never seen before, a purple coral. Under the starlight, this purple glowed softly. The mermaid must have brought it up from the bottom of the sea.

Ye Zheng gratefully touched the heavy piece of coral in his hand. Maybe it was the mermaid who came to comfort her.

At this time, the mermaid washed up on the beach with the waves. The lower part of its tail folded up and the whole fish stood up. Ye Zheng could feel it looking at her.

Ye Zheng walked over slowly, and she found that the mermaid showed a nervous posture again.

But unlike what I saw at the beginning, he leaned forward in a threatening posture to attack; this time, the upper body of this mermaid leaned back slightly, the fins in front of it did not open, and its mouth was slightly open. Ka, revealing a little bit of the sharp corners of his fangs on the edge of his lips.

Ye Zheng stood still in front of it and looked up at it. Now, she could finally see the whole mermaid clearly. It was not as huge a creature as she had first seen when she was frightened. Of course, compared to other real fish, its size is already considered a big one. Its tail is already very large and looks extremely heavy. After standing up with support, its length was less than half a head taller than Ye Zheng.

"Hi, thank you for the coral."

Ye Zheng said, slowly opening his palm and carefully handing it to it.

The mermaid looked at Ye Zheng expressionlessly, and then at the piece of coral. Ye Zheng felt a coldness in his hand, and his claws quickly passed over her hand and took away the piece of coral.

Ye Zheng noticed that its half-expanded dorsal fin also slowly retracted.

"Thank you." Ye Zheng smiled at it and said again, regardless of whether it understood it or not. "Thank you very much."

The mermaid stretched out its claws with sharp nails and slowly moved towards Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng held his breath. Although she could tell that the mermaid had no intention of attacking her, Ye Zheng was still a little scared when such sharp nails were pointed at her. She tried her best to keep the smile on her face and kept telling herself to stay calm, and then she found that its claws landed on her throat.

It was so cold that Ye Zheng couldn't help but shudder, and then saw it quickly retract his claws and press them on his throat.

Ye Zheng watched the series of strange behaviors in silence, and then heard a trembling, childish voice.

"Xixi..."

Ye Zheng was stunned. Did it want to say thank you? But why does this voice sound...sound...

"Crash -" A huge sound of water breaking came from the sea behind the mermaid. Ye Zheng saw a big fish with a tail glowing with scales suddenly leaping out of the sea, and then plunged heavily into the water, splashing A very high splash. Ye Zheng could see clearly now. The length of this second mermaid was definitely more than two meters!

Ye Zheng's eyes fell back on the mermaid in front of him who was still holding the coral. Even though it was quite big compared to other fish, compared with his own kind... it immediately seemed much smaller. While she was looking at it, the mermaid in front of her touched her throat and tried her best to make out the strange pronunciation of "Xixi..." again. Her voice was the same as before, as delicate and childish as a milk cat's meow. .

Ah, so that's it. 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 comforted her just now? Ye Zheng still remembers that it was lying on the rocks with its head raised, its mouth opening and closing, it was very stylish.

It turns out that it is already smart enough to find someone, no, it is looking for a fish to sing on its behalf?
