I want to be human

Chapter 19 Salted Fish Survival

When Casio stood in the sun again, his expression was in a trance. He originally thought that he could only stay in that cave for the rest of his life, surrounded by water, and would hide on the rock wall when the tide rose from time to time.

I am free?

Turning around, he saw the calm face of the mermaid, just looking at him like that.Casio took a step back tentatively, and took another step, but the mermaid still didn't respond.Licking his lips, he moved slowly towards the shore. He knew through his usual observation that he would leave the mermaid's attack range after two meters, and the mermaid could not go ashore without legs, that is to say, after two meters The mermaid really has nothing to do with him.The last two meters made people tremble. Casio has always let others experience this kind of fear, but now he is very careful not to anger the existence on the other side.

The high degree of attention made the time seem particularly long. Casio could hear his loud heartbeat right next to his ears, bang bang bang bang, full of vitality, but stopped beating the moment the mermaid bared her teeth.He opened his eyes wide, trying to see the last moment of his life clearly.

Come on, I know what you're up to.

Casio waited for a long time, but his goal was the tail submerged in the sea.

It turns out that it is not freedom, but abandonment.

What a ruthless race, thanks to the mermaid's last mercy, he was not treated as food storage.Casio grinned, and after a brief pause, he walked firmly towards the shore.

Besides Weisheng, it took nearly a month to feed Casio before he realized that he was an idiot. There is a second option, which is to release him.Weisheng, who turned the corner, regretted it. He almost doubled the amount of exercise every day to barely find enough food for two people. The advantage is that his hunting skills have improved to a higher level.

At first, he was fooled by the system and thought it was a girl, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. He couldn't allow girls to do these rough jobs.In the end, he was a man, wasting his feelings.This reminded him of the expression on the boy who secretly asked someone to give his classmate a semester gift when he found out that his classmate was male in elementary school.Who would have thought that Feng Shui would take turns, and now it was his turn to experience egg pain.

It will be a matter of time before the boy is released into the forest. Weisheng can't keep him forever, and Casio can't be willing to stay in that cave forever, so it's a good thing for both parties.

Because it is a small island, there are no large raptors on the shore, and most animals are gentle herbivores. As for the few dangerous microorganisms that may exist, it is not unconsidered. If Casio chooses to return to the cave, then he will take him back again. It takes a while to transition, but Casio is obviously more willing to live on the shore.

He left a pair of nails for Casio, and put them in the interlayer of his clothes. They were all dropped by him for various reasons before, and they were more than enough to save his life.Reminiscent of his performance at the beginning, it might be better for him to live alone.

Afterwards, Weisheng would sneak to the shallow shore every day to have a look. Although the man should not be a problem for self-reliance, Weisheng still came out of humanitarian concern. After all, surviving in the wild is very difficult.

The little animals would bring him some information, most of which they saw in a ignorant state. When they pieced together bits and pieces, Casio's life was considered acceptable.He even built a tree house for himself, but no matter how specific the small animals are, they don't dare to get too close, because Casio is now added to the blacklist of natural enemies.

The strange thing is that Weisheng deliberately stays on the shore for a long time every time, but he never meets Casio once, and there is no shadow of him.Originally, Weisheng was going to help out or something, but it seemed that he was being affectionate.

Twenty days later, Weisheng's patience was exhausted, and he began to ask about Casio's current situation every few days.Hmph, you don't want to get close to the shore, and I'm not willing to resist the burden.And Casio had no major problems, so he was even less concerned, almost forgetting that there was such a person.

What Weisheng didn't know was that Casio was always there, hiding behind the bush that was full of fruit and then eaten by Weisheng.In the beginning, I discovered that the mermaid was actually waiting for something on the shore. He hid there in a panic. He should have left immediately, but he stayed there to feed the mosquitoes.He saw the mermaid leaving with a disappointed expression, and he couldn't restrain an emotion called secret joy in his heart.

The next day, he was so absent-minded when he set the trap for the hunt that he almost hurt his hand.

What's wrong with me?Casio asked himself.

At the same time yesterday, he was sitting in the tree house, his heart was beating fast, and there was a villain in his heart who seemed to be clamoring for something.Maybe a good night's sleep would be enough. He lay unsteadily on the crude bed, but there was a burr on the mattress that he missed and didn't wipe it off, and it stuck into his arm and dripped blood.The pain distracted Casio's attention, but only for a while.

As time passed, he became more and more restless, and the cry of the villain in his heart became more and more clear. He wanted to hear what the villain was saying but had no clue.Such tangled psychological changes are fresh and tormenting.

Finally he climbed down from the tree house, walked quickly towards the shore, and then started to run.But when he got near the bushes, he subconsciously stopped, and quietly rubbed to that position.

The view behind the bushes is excellent, with a complete preview of the entire shore.

What he saw was exactly what he had imagined, the mermaid waiting for something on the shore.

Casio couldn't tell whether he was happy or nervous at the moment, he stared at the mermaid without blinking until the mermaid turned back to the sea at dusk.

If he had to talk about his inner thoughts, he might be more happy. You see, it was a wrong decision to give up on me at the beginning, and now I regret it.It's useless to regret, I won't go back with you.

Casio went back with such a distorted mentality, with a circle of red envelopes bitten by mosquitoes on his body.

The mosquitoes here are very poisonous, and you don’t feel it when they bite you. After a while, a huge red envelope will swell up, and it is extremely itchy.Casio hid behind the bush for two days and provoked a lot of bugs. His legs were densely covered with such bumps, and his scalp looked a little numb.Casio's endurance skills are almost full, but he can't stand such a toss.

The place Casio specially chose to build the tree house was very strange, and there was no interference from mosquitoes, which caused him to ignore the precautions in this area.It seems that tomorrow we should pay more attention to the herbal medicines for repelling mosquitoes and itching, Casio thought while scratching silently.

Some things are out of control once they start.

With feelings that he didn't understand, at that point, Casio arrived behind the bushes on time.Sometimes you accidentally go early, and you have to wait a while for the mermaid to appear.

Day after day, the mermaid appeared and left, appeared and left, but Casio never showed up.He hid behind the bushes and told himself time and time again that it was necessary to understand the enemy.There was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't know.

Until one day, microbes did not appear.

Casio waited until midnight.

He has never been so out of control since he was a child. He has very little memory of the past, and his relationship with his family and relatives is also very weak.He always has a feeling that he doesn't belong here, and there is always a sense of estrangement when getting along with others. His world seems to be covered with a layer of cloth, so he can't be isolated from the world, but he can't communicate with others.Deep down in his heart, he knew what he was looking for, something important to him, and the hole in his heart could only be filled if he found it.But ever since meeting this mermaid, his thoughts have been dragged away, and he almost forgot his purpose of going out to sea.

The forest at night is much more dangerous than the forest during the day, even on such a small island.Those dangerous poisonous insects and snakes began to appear, watching their prey in the dark.

Fortunately, Casio arrived home safely and was not in danger.

Maybe it's something today?Casio thought in a daze, maybe it was injured?

Why didn't it show up?There are many explanations, but only one answer.

Casio didn't know the answer, he only knew that the mermaid didn't show up.He actually had the anger and grievance of being abandoned again.A villain in his head yelled, no, maybe he has something to do and can't get out.A villain shouted, your expectations are not normal, the mermaid is not waiting for you at all, maybe the mermaid is dead.

Casio went to the shore on time the next day.

He comforted himself, I just came to make sure, to see if the mermaid was dead or alive.

But no, the mermaid still didn't appear.

With the strength of the mermaid clan, it is still very difficult to die, so the answer seems to have come out.

Touching the scale of the mermaid, Casio was in a daze.This scale was accidentally dropped by the mermaid, and out of curiosity, he secretly picked it up and played with it.The edges of the scales are sharp, but the surface is warm and greasy like a fine jade, and you can't take it off when you touch it.After leaving the mermaid and reaching the shore, he tied a knot with a strong straw rope and hung the scales around his neck.

Except for the mermaid's later indifference, he didn't feel sorry for him.The mermaid saved him. Not only did he not eat him, but he was given food and set him free. He even thoughtfully made a handle out of wood, and made a pair of fingernails into a dagger for his self-defense.

so what?What's the use of thinking so much, didn't you decide to leave the mermaid a long time ago and find a way to go home?I didn't find what I was looking for, but I fell on this isolated island and I don't know when I can leave. Casio, Casio, you are really useless.Lying on the bed, Casio thought blankly.

Temporary dizziness can also be explained, but you can't be confused for a lifetime.Since then, Casio has rarely gone to shore.

Occasionally he couldn't help but go to the shore, and he could still see the mermaids that haunted that part of the coast. They still looked like they were waiting, but the people who watched were less looking forward to it.
