Among the five paranoid male protagonists, who do you want me to choose?
Chapter 20 Communication Barriers
Oil lamps were lit, casting dim shadows. Caves were carved out of the thick rock walls, and large demons were curled up inside, sleeping soundly with bones scattered all over the ground.
The cart was pulled by the little mermaid boy into the narrowest cave, at the bottom. He had no legs and no sharp claws, so he naturally could not dig a good cave like other demons.
The cart stopped and Yu Zhao was thrown to the ground. The pain all over his body had become numb and dried blood was sticking to the corners of his eyes.
The mermaid jumped on its tail and slowly stood in a bathtub. It took off the cloth strips on its body and jumped down, its brows and eyes relaxed.
Thinking that there was another person on the ground, he moved his body, swung his big tail, rolled up Yu Zhao and threw him into a slightly smaller wooden barrel next to him.
There was a foul smell in the water. Yu Zhao wrinkled his nose and sniffed carefully. It seemed to be the smell of several kinds of medicine, and the effect was limited.
The bones in his body slowly recovered and were forced back into place. The bloody flesh began to reorganize and his meridians recovered, as if someone had repeatedly chopped him with a giant axe. Yu Zhao bit the edge of the wooden barrel so hard that his teeth almost broke.
Blood-red tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, and Yu Zhao closed his eyes. He didn't know how long it took before he got over the pain of being tortured to death, and his hands regained consciousness.
She flapped her arms and swam to the surface of the water, her small hands resting on the edge of the tub, her light-colored eyes staring blankly at the person in the tub.
It was a big-tailed fish, a very beautiful mermaid.
The tail is covered with purple-black scales, which are shimmering and seem to glow. The defects on the body do not make it lose its luster, but instead bring a different kind of beauty.
Looking at him again, the mermaid shook off the water stains on his head and looked at Yu Zhao fiercely.
"What is the ugly one looking at?"
Yu Zhao still looked bewildered. She didn't understand what he said. The mermaid puffed up her cheeks, looked a little discouraged, and slightly raised her eyelids.
The rippling water surface attracted Yu Zhao's attention. He looked down at his face, then patted his cheeks, somewhat incredulous.
This...isn't her body? !
She looked the same, but she looked like a child, and there was a huge bloody birthmark on the upper half of her face, which looked extremely creepy.
Yu Zhao hasn't figured out the situation yet, so hasn't he gone to hell?
She climbed out of the bucket and wrapped herself in the ragged cloth that Mame had thrown to her. The clothes seemed to have not been washed for a long time and there were some blood stains on them.
Combining all of this, it seemed as if they were all reflecting one fact: she... had been reborn into another world!
There seemed to be a flame in her light-colored eyes. Yu Zhao walked out of the cave eagerly. She was eager to see this world.
A world without disinfectant and medicine, a world of pain and despair.
The cold tail silently climbed up his ankle. The mermaid exerted a little force, and Yu Zhao fell flat on his face before he took two steps, with his head dizzy.
She was dragged back by the big tail. The boy smiled and said, "Are you scared now? It's too late."
Of course he picked up the person because he had some use for him. Not only could he be used to make drugs, he could also be used to pull a cart. If he pulled the cart twice more, his tail would be broken.
In this way, Yu Zhao could not walk out of the cave. The mermaid would tie her with its tail. Over time, he found another rope and tied Yu Zhao to the entrance of the cave.
Without exception, all the demons passing by the door would curiously stretch out their strange heads to take a look. The witch doctor actually raised an ugly human who was poisonous.
Looking at the ropes on her feet, Yu Zhao couldn't untie them, and gradually stopped struggling. This man had saved her life, so staying here for a while was considered a way to repay his kindness.
and……
One time, she heard a quarrel outside and for some unknown reason stuck her head out. She was almost caught in the fight and had half of her head cut off. She was so scared that she couldn't recover for a long time.
Looking at the frightened Yu Zhao, the mermaid stepped forward to take his blood as usual. He also felt it was weird. The little girl was like a fool. She couldn't speak the magic language and could only squat at the door and giggle.
He would also watch the bloody fights among the demons outside, shrinking his neck and watching with wide eyes, looking both timid and playful.
In order to obtain good poisonous blood and prevent her from dying, the mermaid and Yu Zhao ate the same thing and did not treat anyone unfairly. Yu Zhao, who was eating a stinky rat for the first time, couldn't help vomiting and was extremely uncomfortable.
The taste is indescribable, even worse than the stuff from the sewer, and the taste is so bad that it is incomparable.
The boy snatched the dried mouse from her hand without saying a word and ate it all up. Yu Zhao, who had been hungry for a day, finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he used the bamboo pole next to him to pick up a dried mouse and ate it with relish.
If she doesn't eat, she will starve to death.
She wanted to live on in this life that she had finally obtained.
After a period of time, Yu Zhao gradually adapted to the life here. In this world of terror and killing, this is the only refuge.
From the swear words outside, she gradually learned the language of the demons, but she could only say simple words. After all, it was not easy to extract words that could be used for normal communication from the dirty words and arrange them to speak.
When there are inappropriate words in communication with the mermaid, Yu Zhao will use the method of "I draw and you guess".
Of course, there are obstacles in communication between humans and demons, and Yu Zhao is a modern man.
The mermaid would grab Yu Zhao's face and go crazy, not understanding what she meant, and the two would have a big quarrel. When it was time for dinner, the mermaid would eat the dried rat she cooked as usual.
The taste was very good, which made it hard for him to refuse since he was used to eating raw food.
The relationship between the man and the shark quickly grew stronger at a visible speed. Of course, they still quarreled and fought, but the shark always gained the upper hand with its large tail.
She learned his name from him, Little Monster. Yu Zhao also told her her name, but the mermaid looked at her face and called her a clown. In the end, the little monster added the word "fish" to her name.
clownfish.
Yu Zhao: “…”
One day, just when Yu Zhao felt that their relationship was close enough and they had shed enough blood.
She didn't want to be stuck, so she put forward her conditions directly.
"Can you untie it?" Yu Zhao shook the rope on his feet. The boy, whose head was almost buried in the bowl of rice, slowly raised his head, quickly finished eating the dried mouse without saying a word, and then stood up to untie the rope at another place.
The corners of Moqiao's mouth rose slowly, with emotions in his eyes that she could not see through. Seeing that she was too naive and did not know what kind of world this was, he decided to take her out to see the world.
"Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Yu Zhao looked at his body wrapped in cloth and sitting on the small cart, and the little boy said calmly.
"You seem eager to go out. I'll take you to see the real Ten Thousand Demons Cave."
He probably protected her too well and forgot what a hopeless quagmire this was. Delicate flowers were not suitable to grow here. If one day, Yu Zhao's kindness was overflowing and he did something bad, he would abandon her without hesitation.
Of course, he may be reluctant to do so now, after all, he has a good barbecue cook.
There was a strange light in the eyes of the Demon Shark. He said, "Let's make a puppet poisonous man. That way, he can cook and take blood at the same time. This is the perfect way."
Yu Zhao took the cloth strips beside her and wrapped herself like him. She did not forget that when a strong sandstorm came, her skin and flesh were almost blown off. If it weren't for the rope under her feet, she would have been blown away and flew into the sky.
Fortunately, she was smart and hid under the big tail.
After that, they would place a small cart at the entrance of the cave every day and block it with other heavy objects to prevent strong winds and sand from coming in and destroying it.
Yu Zhao's current body looked like that of a four-year-old, and it was a little difficult for her small body to push the small cart, which made her feel indignant.
"Little monster, you're so heavy. Have you been eating too much dried rat recently?"
It didn't seem so heavy when I pulled him before.
The little monster lying on the cart swung its big tail, closed its eyes, and said leisurely.
"The place we're going to is a bit far, and I have too many strips of cloth to wrap around it."
Yu Zhao, who was pushing the cart, was out of breath. If you don't accept his words, you must have eaten too much and gained weight. The thing about wearing too much is a lie!
It only grows a tail but no meat.
Seeing Yu Zhao getting angry, the little monster sighed and raised its tail to block the slightly stronger wind and sand, allowing her to move forward more smoothly.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure came, Yu Zhao stopped, and before he could stand firm, he was blown away by a strong wind.
"what--"
