There were no clouds in the sky, a pure white sailboat was floating in the vast sea, and a person was lying on the deck.
Tang Zheng and Huang Ziyang came out of the water and made a lot of noise. They immediately woke up the person lying on the deck sunbathing.
She immediately stood up and looked at the strangers who suddenly appeared in surprise. She covered her cherry mouth in surprise.
But she quickly reacted and waved to Tang Zheng. Then, with a beautiful diving posture, she jumped directly from the deck into the sea and swam quickly towards Tang Zheng like a mermaid.
Tang Zheng looked at this scene with his mouth agape. This was really beyond his expectations. When he saw the mermaid getting closer and closer, he also came back to his senses, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he looked at the mermaid who was getting closer and closer.
Whew ~
The mermaid took a deep breath and finally stopped hitting the water and stopped in front of Tang Zheng.
"Huh? You didn't drown? "She did not speak in Hua Xia language, but in English. Fortunately, Tang Zheng's English is good and he understood.
"We didn't drown." Tang Zheng said.
"Then why are you in the sea?" She asked with her big round eyes.
Tang Zheng stared at the other party without blinking. The other party was indeed a famous mermaid. In fact, she was really beautiful.
She was a Westerner, tall, with deep eyes, especially her hair and skin that were wet by the sea, glowing with a crystal luster, and her big eyes seemed to be able to speak, blinking.
More importantly, she was wearing bikinis. Her exquisite and graceful figure was revealed without a doubt. Every inch of her body was just right. Especially the surging waves on her chest, they were constantly swaying as they were hit by the waves, causing ripples in one's heart.
Tang Zheng quickly calmed his mind and looked at the other party curiously, then glanced at the sailboat not far away. Although he didn't know much about sailboats, it seemed that this sailboat was also very valuable, which meant that the other party's identity was not ordinary.
In addition, what made Tang Zheng like her even more was that she did not hesitate to jump into the water to rescue them. As a beauty, it was not easy to have this kind of courage and kindness.
"We are fishermen. We went out to sea to catch fish, but we were careless and our boat was destroyed by the waves. After that, we drifted on the sea. Fortunately, we met you. Otherwise, we would have been buried in the sea." Tang Zheng made up a story and said with great emotion.
Surprisingly, the mermaid did not suspect anything. Instead, she said sympathetically, "Then you are really pitiful. Fortunately, I met you. This means that your bad luck has come to an end."
"Thank you for saving my life." Tang Zheng said gratefully.
"Don't say too much. Let's get on the boat," the mermaid said.
The few of them swam back to the boat. Tang Zheng glanced around and did not see anyone else. This mermaid was very bold. She was not afraid that they were bad people and directly picked them up on the boat. She was not vigilant at all. He did not know what she was doing drifting on the sea.
The mermaid carefully looked at the two of them and muttered in her heart. These two did not seem like fishermen. However, she did not delve into it because her attention was quickly attracted by Xiao Bai.
The little guy was standing on the deck and shaking off the water. He was pouting his little pink mouth and was quite cute.
The mermaid's eyes lit up and she cheered, "Wow, what a cute little animal."
Xiao Bai looked up and pouted at her. He jumped onto Tang Zheng's shoulder and grabbed Tang Zheng's wet hair. He looked at the mermaid curiously.
"What kind of animal is this? How come I've never seen it before?" She asked in surprise.
Tang Zheng looked at her in surprise. When other people saw Xiao Bai at first glance, they would treat it as an ordinary puppy. Only she did not classify Xiao Bai as a puppy.
"He's called Xiao Bai. He's my pet." Tang Zheng did not answer Xiao Bai's type.
The mermaid nodded but did not ask further. Because with her family's upbringing, it was very rude to ask further.
"How cute. Looking at your appearance, are you from an Island nation? "The mermaid asked.
This was a common phenomenon. In the eyes of these Westerners, when they saw people with Eastern faces, they would first think of people from an Island nation. They would not think of them as people of the great Hua Xia.
It had to be said that this was a great irony.
"We are from Hua Xia." Tang Zheng corrected.
The mermaid was startled and quickly apologized, "I'm really sorry."
"It's okay."
"Hua Xia is a country with a long history of civilization. I've always been looking forward to it." The mermaid said in the purest Hua Xia language.
Tang Zheng was stunned. Did he hear wrong? She actually spoke Hua Xia language, and it was very standard. She was definitely a person who had received the most professional training.
Looking at Tang Zheng's expression, the corners of her mouth rose slightly and said, "I have a talent for languages, so I learned a few more."
Tang Zheng sighed, "Amazing. I haven't asked your name yet. "
"You can call me Anne. What about you?"
"My name is Tang Zheng. He's Huang Ziyang."
"Nice to meet you." Anne smiled. The light of the sun in the sky seemed to be covered by her smile.
"Your fishing boat was destroyed by the waves. Where are you going now? Back to Hua Xia? "Anne asked.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the southernmost part of the ocean."
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. The Dragon Palace was still further south. It was on the way, so he said, "We're not going back home. I have friends fishing further south. We're going to meet them there."
Anne said happily, "Really? That's great. Then we can go together. That way we won't be lonely on the way. "
Tang Zheng couldn't help but laugh. This mermaid was too gullible. He casually made up a reason, and she actually believed it.
It seemed that she was inexperienced and didn't have much social experience.
This was for the best. Tang Zheng also didn't have to be careful.
The two sides chatted for a while. Tang Zheng gradually understood that this mermaid had a strong sense of adventure. She was actually sailing around the world alone.
Tang Zheng was flabbergasted. Her guts were simply too big. Not to mention encountering bad people, even if there were all kinds of big waves, it would be filled with unknown risks. Her family was actually willing to let her take this risk.
In addition, she wasn't from the Western Empire as Tang Zheng thought. She came from a small country on the European continent with a long history — Sweden.
The largest country on the European continent was the Atlantic Empire, but there were other scattered small countries, and Sweden was one of them.
Sweden had a long history and still retained the royal system. Although it was a small country, its economy was quite extraordinary.
Anne kept asking about Hua Xia's local conditions and customs. She seemed to be very interested in Hua Xia. In addition, the knowledge revealed in her words made Tang Zheng secretly admire her.
From astronomy to geography, even literature, art, history, and philosophy, she was quite accomplished in all of them. Moreover, she was very familiar with a lot of uncommon knowledge, many of which were things that Tang Zheng had never heard of before, causing him to be flabbergasted and suddenly enlightened.
"Her family must be either rich or noble, otherwise it would be impossible for them to nurture such an outstanding talent. Moreover, the aura she exudes is the true aura of a noble. Her every move seems casual, but in reality, it has a deep meaning." Tang Zheng muttered in his heart.
Anne was completely different from the nouveau riche second generation in the country. Everything she showed made Tang Zheng look at her in a new light.
Anne arranged cabins for the two of them and then quietly sailed the sailboat. Tang Zheng had nothing to do, so he sat on the deck and watched the clouds and the sea scenery.
After a day of sailing, they came to a deeper part of the ocean.
There were no clouds for thousands of miles, and the wind was calm. It was as if they were gliding on a mirror, making them feel relaxed and happy.
Tang Zheng experienced the scenery of the ocean and was intoxicated by it. Annie would occasionally exchange a few words with him and introduce knowledge of the ocean to him, which greatly benefited him.
Suddenly, three speedboats appeared on the surface of the sea and quickly sailed toward the sailboat.
"Why are there these small speedboats in the middle of the sea? What are they doing?" Tang Zheng muttered in his heart.
Anne obviously also noticed the other party. She walked out of the cockpit and stood on the deck to look.
"Who are they?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
Anne shook her head. "I don't know. I've never encountered such a situation before."
As they spoke, the speedboats arrived in front of the sailboat and slowed down. The speedboats surrounded the sailboat from front to back.
Tang Zheng's pupils shrank. He clearly saw the people on the speedboats. They didn't come with good intentions. These people were all carrying guns, ammunition, and other weapons.
Anne walked to the side of the boat and looked at the other party. "What do you want?" she asked.
"Haha, we're going to be rich this time. This lady is obviously not an ordinary person. You'll definitely get a lot of ransom money." A thin man with buckteeth laughed and spoke in English.
Tang Zheng and Anne frowned at the same time. Anne angrily said, "Who are you people?"
"Pirates," the man with buckteeth said proudly.
Tang Zheng's head thumped. The outside world had always said that the sea at the southern end of the ocean wasn't peaceful. There were many pirates, big and small, who specialized in robbery and kidnapping.
Tang Zheng had always lived on the mainland and didn't have a direct impression of these things. It was really too much of a coincidence to be able to meet them this time.
He wasn't afraid. Instead, he was eager to give it a try. He looked at the pirates with interest.
There were more than ten pirates in total. Each of them was carrying a rifle or a pistol. One of them even had a rocket launcher on his shoulder. Their firepower wasn't weak and was more than enough to deal with ordinary people. No wonder they were able to succeed so many times.
Anne didn't panic when she heard the other party's identity. Instead, she was calm and said righteously, "Being a pirate is against the law. Repent and be saved. Turning over a new leaf is the right path."
"Repent and be saved? Turning over a new leaf? Hahaha … "The pirate laughed wildly as if he had heard the funniest joke.
Suddenly, the buckteeth's smile disappeared, and he said with a murderous look, "Arrest them all for me. This time we've kidnapped a big one. After this one is done, we can rest for a while."
