It was a rainy summer night in 1920, and Prince Hao Lei was "picking up garbage" on the seabed near the atoll.

It is said to be garbage, but in fact, it is the porcelain or statues on the shipwrecked ships, Prince Hao Lei is very fond of these things of human beings.

Above the sea level, there is wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and strong winds, and a wave is more than ten meters high. And it is indeed peaceful under the sea level, and you can't feel the abnormal weather at all.

Prince Hao Lei hummed a whale aria while happily flipping over the relics on the sunken ship.

A flash of lightning fell, and with a thud, a person fell from the sea level, and with him fell an oil lamp.

Prince Hao Lei noticed the breath of human beings entering the sea, and immediately became alert, he hid in the cabin, quietly watching the slowly descending people and oil lamps.

'It doesn't seem like there's any threat to me...... 'Prince Hao Lei looked closely, it was a human female, it seemed to be unconscious, and there was no one to save her.

Prince Haolei swam over from the cabin and gently lifted the woman. The woman's forehead was broken by something, and she was still bleeding......

In a panic, he carried the woman out of the sea, grabbed a piece of kelp and put it on the woman's forehead. But the woman was not breathing spontaneously at all, so Hao Lei had to cut his fingers and drip blood into the woman's nasal cavity.

The moment the blood entered the woman's nasal cavity, her breathing resumed, and her chest cavity was very stable together.

"Whew......" Hao Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the storm had passed, and the moonlight shone down through the clouds, and Hao Lei saw the woman's face clearly.

The red hair is braided into two braids on the shoulders, the wheat-colored skin looks like a bud from the sun, and there is a faint layer of freckles on the high bridge of the nose that extends to the cheeks, and the lips that should have been pale pink due to lack of oxygen are still purple-red, and there are still sea beads on the long eyelashes.

If you want to say how beautiful this woman is, it doesn't seem to be so beautiful. But Hao Lei fell in love with the human woman in his arms at first sight......

He carried the woman to the shallow reef, placed her on a reef that the water could not beat, and then swam back to the boat that the woman was driving.

It's a pity that this boat is too old, and it has been slapped by the wave just now, and if the woman gets on this boat again, I'm afraid her life will be in danger.

Prince Haolei could have gone back to his palace now and fetched tools for the woman to repair the ship, but he was afraid that after he left, no one would take care of the woman and he would be in danger again.

So he stayed by the woman's side until sunrise......

"I can't see it...... Prince, you are really a person in charge......" Kong Li was very moved when he heard this.

"That's for sure! We mermaids have dealt with the sea all our lives, and I am afraid that no one knows better than us how many people the sea has swallowed!"

"What happened to the woman when she woke up?" Kong Li asked anxiously, he desperately wanted to know the follow-up.

"Then I'll keep talking!" Hao Lei ate a sea grape and continued......

The orange-red sun rises in the east, and the entire surface of the sea is like a layer of gold dust, moving with the waves.

Prince Haolei saw that the human woman's eyes moved, and it was estimated that he was about to wake up, so he quickly swam back into the sea and hid behind the reef.

After all, his fathers had said that humans were fragile creatures and were hostile to things outside of their own knowledge. The clansmen have a record of being hurt by humans, so his father repeatedly told him not to get close to humans and not to interfere with their life and death.

However, this time, Hao Lei saved a human woman, and I don't know if she will be grateful to herself......

When the woman woke up, she didn't sit up in a hurry, but cautiously checked the situation around her.

She sat up only when she was sure she was safe. The moment she sat up, there was a pinprick-like stinging pain in her head, and the woman hurriedly held her forehead with her hand, grinning in pain.

"......" Prince Haolei saw this scene behind the reef and wanted to go over to see the situation, but he was afraid that his figure would scare the other party.

"Who!? come out!" The woman still sensed Hao Lei's existence, and picked up the stone in her hand vigilantly.

"Don't be afraid...... I won't hurt you......" Hao Lei leaned out half of his body from behind the reef, but still hid the fishtail underwater.

"Whew...... It turned out to be a merman......" The woman put down the stone in her hand and relaxed.

"You...... Aren't you afraid of me?" the woman's reaction surprised Hao Lei.

"You saved my life, why should I be afraid of you?" The woman's boldness surprised Hao Lei even more.

Hao Lei swam to the reef where the woman was sitting, and lay on the reef to look at her seriously.

"What are you looking at? haven't you seen a human being?" the woman asked.

"I've seen you, but I've never seen you look so good. Hao Lei said seriously.

"Hahahaha, don't be funny, I'm still good-looking, I'm the ugliest person in our family. The woman laughed at Hao Lei's seriousness.

"How can it be? Your eyes are so beautiful, big, pure black, and so bright. It's as beautiful as the starry sky at night......" Hao Lei crossed out of the sea and sat next to the woman.

"Hahahaha, are you sharks so flamboyant?" the woman still laughed.

"I'm telling the truth, why am I so flamboyant?" Hao Lei was puzzled.

"Thank you, though. Save my life......" The woman's smile disappeared, and her expression became solemn.

"By the way, my name is Hao Lei. What about you?"

"My name is Yue Hongmei...... the woman replied.

"Your name ......" Hao Lei knows, the people who live on the nearby islands, are all a string of names. It was the first time he had heard such a short name.

"I'm of mixed race, my father is from the island, and my mother is from Shenzhou. After my father died, I followed my mother's surname ......" Yue Hongmei told her life story.

"I see...... Having said that, it was stormy last night, why did you go to sea alone? How dangerous it is......" Prince Hao Lei remembered, if he hadn't come to pick up garbage last night, wouldn't Yue Hongmei have seen today's sunrise?

"......" Yue Hongmei didn't speak, it could be seen that she was struggling in her heart, should she tell the merman in front of her that she was actually here to seek death last night.

"......" Hao Lei saw that Yue Hongmei didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say, so he stayed silent with her.

"I can actually see the sunrise today......" Yue Hongmei suddenly said.

"You...... Why are you crying?" Seeing the tears flowing from Yue Hongmei's cheeks, Hao Lei was at a loss, "Could it be that the wound is too painful? I'll go change the kelp for you!"

"It's not that the wound hurts, it's the heart ......" Yue Hongmei pointed to her heart, "I'll say it all, in fact, I was going to die...... After his father's death, his sister married far away from Ryukyu. I was dependent on my mother for my life, but the village bully bullied our mother and daughter all day long, even if I was verbally insulted, and forcibly occupied my family's land. While I was out to sea, my mother was hanging from the beam. I knew it must have been done by the village bully, but he didn't admit it...... He also wanted to force me to comply. ”

"Yesterday there was a storm, and the people who took care of me took shelter from the rain, so I escaped, and I would rather die at the bottom of the ......sea than fall into his hands and be tortured to death by him," Yue Hongmei said resentfully.

"I ...... I will punish the village tyrant for you!" Hao Lei heard Yue Hongmei's experience, clenched his fists angrily, and wanted to flood his village immediately.
