72Chapter 72
The mermaids who have lived in human society for too long no longer use this "barbaric and primitive" way of eating. They are used to seeing the "treasure of the empire" who holds a knife and fork and behaves gracefully. Qi Rong is really taken aback by the blue-tailed mermaid's abrupt behavior Startled.
The colorless crystal-like nails were clean and clear but not concealing their sharpness. Qi Rong, who instinctively avoided danger, paused for a moment, and finally lowered his head and bit the piece of fish into his mouth under the gaze of a mermaid offering treasure.
In any case, he couldn't let the other party really catch a dolphin.
The meat was delicate, sweet in the mouth, and did not taste the expected fishy smell of the sea. Qi Rong relaxed his brows, then reached out and touched the other person's head again: "It's delicious, thank you."
Receiving the positive emotion in the man's eyes, the mermaid flicked its tail happily again like a puppy. Seeing that the other party was searching for the small white fish just now in the fish school on the ground, Qi Rong grabbed the man with the same force as last time. Fish's wrist, and then shook his head slightly at the other side.
Humans and mermaids have different body structures. Even if the fish tastes good, Qi Rong still needs to eat some cooked food, not to mention that he lost a lot of blood and slept at the beach all night. What he needs most at this moment is sufficient calories.
"I have to go pick up some branches and come back," Qi Rong pointed to the lush island forest behind him, Qi Rong tried his best to express himself with concise language, "I need to light a fire, I'm too cold."
Fearing that the mermaid would not understand, the man clasped his arms and shivered figuratively, but there was never fire in the sea, so no matter how the man explained, the mermaid could only understand the other party's meaning of "very cold and must go".
Grabbing the man's sleeve, the silver-haired mermaid slapped the water with its tail anxiously. As a race that spontaneously seeks a comfortable water temperature from birth, he could only think of using water to warm him up.
But Qi Rong doesn't like water.
He drooped his head droopingly, and the roiling sea behind the mermaid also calmed down. The man who had already prepared to be doused in sea water again secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then patted the other hand's left hand that almost tore his sleeve torn.
"I'll be back soon." Pointing to the woods and then to the feet, Qi Rong lowered his voice so softly that even he had never imagined, "Soon, wait for me here obediently, okay?"
It was probably because the man's eyes were too sincere, the blue-tailed mermaid hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of his fingers obediently.
Seems like a very lonely cub.
Seemingly turning around and walking away without hesitation, the man unknowingly quickened his pace. Originally, he was thinking of forcibly summoning the mecha back after he was out of sight of the mermaid, but when he thought of the mecha who was innocent and trusted him Qi Rong had no choice but to leave like a liar.
If he doesn't go back, how long will the little mermaid wait on the shore foolishly.
What's more, his mental strength has already reached the point where his oil is exhausted. If he can't untie those deadlocks, even if he goes back, what awaits him is nothing but exhausted decline or violent death.
Coupled with the siege of Mias' "true love", the capital star that he once regarded as his home may not be much safer than the sea area in front of him.
Rather than returning in such a state of embarrassment and exhaustion, it is better to find a way to heal your mental power here first. Compared with those artificial mermaids who are already familiar with human rules and unspoken rules, Qi Rong is obviously more willing to work with this one. Simple wild mermaid get along.
With a plan in mind, the movements of Qi Rong's hands became a little faster. He skillfully picked out the dry and combustible branches. Qi Rong pulled a section of vine casually, gathered up the branches and carried them on his back like a pack. .
Except for the birds on the trees and the bugs on the ground, the man did not disturb any dangerous creatures in the forest, his steps were light, and Qi Rong even had the leisure to pick two bunches of fruits that were confirmed to be non-toxic.
Without learning to mermaid legs, the immature cub must not have eaten these foods that grow on the ground.
He has already learned to count the time silently in his heart, so even without any timing tool, Qi Rong can smoothly control himself to return in the direction he came from within four to ten minutes.
The beach where he woke up could be seen far away, and Qi Rong, who heard the soft sound of water, stopped involuntarily.
As if under an artificial heavy rain, the blue-tailed mermaid sat quietly on the reef and looked at the sun in the distance, letting the fountain-like sea water drip down on her body.
Going round and round and round and round, the tiny drops of water refract colorful lights in the sun, which looks like flowing rainbows.
But the mermaid didn't feel happy because of playing with the sea water. For some reason, looking at the side face of the other party that looked hazy due to the distance, Qi Rong actually felt the loneliness from this human childlike cub.
There is no one of his kind in this sea area.
Realizing this very clearly, Qi Rong, who had never paid attention to this race before applying for the allocation of mermaids, became disgusted with the relentless hunting of the research institute for the first time.
"Hey!" After fixing the branch on his back, Qi Rong waved the fruit in his hand, the action he made was so stupid that he was surprised, "I'm back!"
The non-stop "heavy rain" stopped for an instant, and then fell back into the sea with a crash. Looking back at the humans approaching rapidly, the mermaid was startled, and a pair of sea-blue eyes were silently lit up.
"Qi Rong!"
Stretching out his arms, the mermaid learned to hug the man in front of him without a teacher. His voice was cheerful, as if he had turned back into the child who got a new toy.
I didn't think it before, but being hugged so tightly by the other party, Qi Rong realized that the wild mermaid's habit of not wearing clothes was a bit inappropriate.
Carefully moving the other party away from his sensitive abdomen, Qi Rong patted the mermaid's white and smooth back, signaling the other party to let go for now.
Probably knowing that men don't like water, the moment Qi Rong approached here, the beach that was still very wet due to the mermaid playing in the water immediately became dry, and Qi Rong stroked the mermaid's soft silver hair appreciatively, and Qi Rong put down the branch He piled it up with wild fruits, and quickly lit an open flame with the tinder in the fire starter.
Tightening her body suddenly, the mermaid immediately entered an obvious state of defense. Reminiscent of her vague memory of falling last night, Qi Rong instantly understood where the vigilance and fear in the opponent's eyes came from.
"Wait!" Boldly stepping forward and holding down the mermaid's tail, Qi Rong imitated the other party's example and sat down on the bumpy but not very harsh rock.
"It's okay." Seeing the mermaid staring blankly at him, Qi Rong patiently explained for him, "It won't hurt you now."
"It's fire, and when you're far enough away from it, all it brings is warmth."
Deliberately slowing down the pronunciation of "Huo", Qi Rong, who thought that the other party would learn from him as before, unexpectedly found that the other party had lost his mind in front of him.
Seemingly unable to hear the man's voice at all, the blue-tailed mermaid just lowered her eyes blankly, following the other's line of sight, and Qi Rong realized that her hand was still on the mermaid's blue tail and did not retract.
Different from other fish, the scales of the silver-haired mermaid seem to be pieces of blue ice crystals of different shades, through the thin layer of scales, Qi Rong can even feel the blood flow from the opponent's tail.
"Sorry." Knowing that tails are special to mermaids, Qi Rong, who was anxious to stop the other party from letting go of his left hand, said, "Be careful next time."
Flicking its tail as if it wanted to knock something off, the mermaid regained its usual comfort in an instant, and poked its slowly heating skin, the mermaid no longer had the initial resistance to the orange-red flame.
I don't know if the other party listened to my words, sighed, Qi Rong picked a fruit and wiped it with a handkerchief in his pocket: "You must have a name, right? I can't always call you 'Hi'. "
Although the mermaid does not understand human language, the IQ and understanding of the mermaid are very high. After the man pointed at himself and said "Qi Rong" and pointed at him with a puzzled expression, the mermaid immediately issued two Qi Rong words. Unintelligible syllables.
I didn't understand the meaning, but the melodious tone sounded like "xier", and when he handed the clean fruit to the mermaid's lips, Qi Rong hooked his lips with a smile: "Well, from now on, you will be Xier .”
The mermaids are particularly keen in distinguishing voices. Hearing their names being called out so irregularly, the blue-tailed mermaids didn't even care about the fruit brought to their mouths, so they angrily corrected Qi Rong's pronunciation over and over again. .
However, the vocal organs of humans and mermaids are different. No matter how slow the mermaid speaks, the man can only pronounce the word "Hill" in the common language of the empire.
Frustrated, the mermaid drooped her head, and fiercely bit the red fruit that the man held up to his mouth.
Out of control, the mermaid's lips brushed against Qi Rong's fingertips unconsciously, and seeing the other's eyes narrowed by the sweetness, Qi Rong deeply felt that he should teach him some "precautions".
Although the other party is just a wild mermaid isolated from the world, in Qi Rong's world view, mermaid is not just an animal.
Taking his fingers away from the other party's pale pink lips, Qi Rong rubbed his temples and took out a shirt from the space: "Hill, do you want to wear clothes?"
Biting the fruit and fluttering her eyelashes suspiciously, the mermaid looked at the white shirt that was exactly the same as the man's, and finally nodded hesitantly.
"very good."
After a long breath, Qi Rong secretly sighed that he finally didn't have to dodge the occasional spring light under the other's silver hair, knowing that the mermaid's hands with sharp nails couldn't fasten the buttons, the man did it himself, and finally managed to put on for the other party." The hallmark of a civilized society".
"clothing!"
After correcting the wrong pronunciation, the mermaid happily patted the tail of the fish, and precisely let the sea water cool down the heat from the fire.
Qi Rong, who was not wet at all, was still tired: ... I don't know if it's too late for him to snatch the clothes from the other party.
It's better not to wear the half-covered white shirt.
The mermaids who have lived in human society for too long no longer use this "barbaric and primitive" way of eating.
