Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 250: Familiar People Gathering

Lying on the slippery floor, Xu Weiwei felt waves of chills. There were also rustling noises nearby, like small mice, or possibly people.

The three kidnappers were chatting not far away.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Xu Weiwei felt half of her body was numb and she had lost all feeling. The three of them finally felt tired, yawned a few times, and left the basement together.

Unsure if there were other people in the space, Xu Weiwei did not dare to move around right away. She waited for a while and only opened her eyes when she felt it was safe.

The dim environment took her eyes a while to adjust to the scene before she could see it clearly. Although she was mentally prepared, Xu Weiwei still felt heavy-hearted when she saw it with her own eyes.

Everywhere she looked was filled with mermaids, the oldest being no more than seven or eight years old, the youngest only three or two years old, all imprisoned in iron cages of the same size.

These iron cells are not small, and can even be described as spacious for the "prisoners". There are faucets and bathtubs inside, and the most incredible thing is that there is a bed. It is not made of straw or broken wooden boards, but a proper bed with white sheets and pillowcases, and a thick mattress underneath.

This made Xu Weiwei think of something bad at the first moment.

There were an average of two to three mermaids living in each iron cage. Xu Weiwei roughly counted and found that there were more than twenty such cages in the visible area. As for how many there were in total and how big this floor was, Xu Weiwei had no idea.

He touched his wrist hoping for luck, but it was empty. Xu Weiwei smiled bitterly, thinking that a kidnapper who had committed so many crimes would not make such a low-level mistake.

Huh?! Wait!

Xu Weiwei lowered her head in disbelief, grabbing the pink, flower-shaped thing on her chest, and froze.

Isn't this her backpack?! It wasn't looted! Did the criminal have cataracts? ? ? He didn't think it was just a decoration on her clothes...

The more Xu Weiwei thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. The backpack was strung together with a thin silver chain. She tied it very close to her body, and the size was very small, just like a flower stuck on her chest.

This is truly a blessing in misfortune.

Xu Weiwei quickly unzipped her bag, found three things, and put them in her pocket. Then she took off her backpack and prepared to hide it somewhere. But when she turned around, she was startled by two pairs of eyes behind her.

Xu Weiwei took a deep breath, but the next second, when she saw the other person's appearance clearly, she went from being frightened to being surprised - "It's you?!"

The two little ones hugging their knees and snuggling in the corner in front of her could be no other than the brother and sister she met at the Boguang Market!

The two looked very unfamiliar. After hearing Xu Weiwei's words, they asked in a puzzled voice: "Do you know us?"

Xu Weiwei then remembered that her appearance was very different from yesterday, no wonder the two of them couldn't recognize her. So she quickly pushed her messy hair aside, crouched in front of them, and said, "It's me, the one who bought your scales yesterday, the one with red hair. Do you remember me?"

The boy was startled, his eyes slightly widened, and he suppressed his voice and said, "It's you! How did you become like this?"

Without waiting for Xu Weiwei to answer, the boy immediately asked anxiously: "How did you get caught here? Where is the person who was with you yesterday? Where is your family?"

"Don't blame them, these criminals acted too quickly. They should be looking for me anxiously now. Don't worry, my dad is very powerful and will definitely rescue us." Xu Weiwei comforted.

"But, aren't you a human? How come you were captured?" The boy looked even more puzzled.

Xu Weiwei was stunned by the question. Recalling what the criminals said before, and looking at the "fish tails" all over the dungeon, Xu Weiwei realized that those people had misunderstood.

They were supposed to catch the mermaid, but for some reason, they mistook her for a mermaid and captured her here as well.

"Aren't the human characteristics of my legs obvious? How could you make a mistake..." Xu Weiwei was speechless.

The boy looked at Xu Weiwei's face and said, "Mermaids often walk on their legs. It's probably because your upper body looks too much like a mermaid today."

Xu was silent.

The makeup artist on the crew was really good at it. If she had the chance to meet her again, she would definitely tell her that her skills had been recognized by the mermaid.

“When those people come back, tell them that you are a human being and ask them to let you go.” The boy said seriously.

Xu lowered her head slightly, wanting to laugh but unable to do so. Deep-sea mermaids are naive, and she doesn't think that telling the other party her true identity will end well.

"This might not be a good idea. They have captured so many mermen here. If I let go, wouldn't that be leaking the news and courting my own destruction? If they tell them that I'm a human, the best way for them to save themselves is to kill me."

"Because I am no longer useful as a mermaid, all that's left for them is risk."

"why is it like this……"

"Oh, there is another possibility!"

"What is it?" The boy rekindled his hope.

Xu Weiwei smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "Maybe they will spare my life because I am good-looking, and then imprison me here for life and let me mate with them."

The boy froze for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably, his expression as if he had suffered a huge shock.

“No! Don’t tell them, don’t let them know…” The boy clenched his fists, as if he thought of that scene, and his expression was very ugly.

Xu Weiwei quickly comforted him: "No, no... As long as I don't tell them, they won't know. Don't worry, do you want some pickled plums? One?"

boy:"……"

Xu Weiwei chuckled twice and handed the open small paper bag to the two of them.

Maybe this is the nature of human beings, always living in comparison. When there are people around you who are more afraid than you, then you will be less afraid, and maybe you can even do something.

Now facing two beings weaker than herself, Xu Weiwei consciously took on the role of protector.

The little girl looked inside, wanting to take it but afraid. Xu Weiwei took the initiative to pinch out a piece and handed it to her. She also put one in her mouth as a demonstration: "Chew it, like a soft candy. It will be a little sour at first, but the sweetness will come out later."

The little girl obviously liked this snack and looked quite happy.

Xu Weiwei handed the bag to her brother again: "Hmm?"

The boy looked embarrassed and took one carefully.
