Ye Yaodong drove the boat behind it wonderingly, wondering if they misunderstood it? He thought for a while, then turned the bow of the boat tentatively, and drove back and forth.
Unexpectedly, the whale shark turned his head when he heard the movement, and then swam quickly to the fishing boat, blocking his way.
I went for it. Is it really wise?
"Do you really want us to follow behind it? Why did all the good things happen to me?"
Father Ye is also really speechless. He has been an old fisherman for decades, and this is the first time he has encountered such a smart fish.
"Then follow up and see what's going on."
It’s okay if you don’t follow. If they don’t follow, the fish will keep wandering beside their boat.
"I really fell for it..."
Ye Yaodong complained, and had no choice but to turn the bow and head towards the reef, and the fish swam forward again.
One fish and one boat, one in front and one behind.
The surface of the sea is sparkling under the sunlight. If it weren’t for the waves that are higher than the waves, how could there be a typhoon in this weather?
The father and son kept watching the whale shark around and in front of them, wondering what it was doing.
It wasn't until the fishing boat drove behind the fish for five or six minutes that they saw the small island getting closer to them, and they didn't notice that there was a big guy on the beach over there!
Father Ye rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled again, "Is there a big fish stranded?"
While talking, he took a few quick steps forward and lay down on the edge of the boat, trying to get closer and get a better look.
Ye Yaodong also opened his mouth wide in surprise, "It's stranded? What kind of fish? You can see it from such a distance. It looks like it's not small. Is it giving us benefits?"
"Drive faster, lean over and have a look to see what kind of fish it is..."
He speeded up the boat, overtook the whale shark, and approached the coast over there.
As the distance drew closer, they found that the guy who was stranded on the beach had familiar lines on his body.
Father Ye exclaimed, "There's another one? Damn it? It's real or not, shouldn't you be dazzled?"
Both the father and son looked at the beach ahead with their eyes wide open. They both saw that the big guy lying on the head was almost taupe, with a little white spots on it, and criss-crossing light-colored bands. It looked very special. obvious.
"Grass, exactly the same pattern. No wonder the whale shark in front has been wandering around our fishing boat. It turns out that there is another one stranded here..."
The lines on the whale shark's body are very recognizable, and they can recognize them at a close look.
"It was because one was found stranded here, so it went to us, and then it has been staying around our ship."
"Smart is pretty smart, but this end doesn't seem to be as big as the other end in the sea." Ye Yaodong slowed down and stood on the edge of the boat to look over.
"Dock the boat and take a look..."
"It's low tide now, so I can only dock at a place where the water level is deep."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked behind the fishing boat again, and found that the big whale shark was following closely beside the fishing boat, so he quickly handed over the boat to his father.
"Come on, the one behind is so big, don't run aground too, I'll go and yell and see if I can make it stop coming forward?"
When his father took over the job of sailing the boat, he immediately ran to the stern to stop the whale shark from moving forward, but it didn't seem to understand?
Ye Yaodong yelled a few times to tell him not to go any further, but he ignored it and continued to follow the boat despite the waves washing over his body.
"Damn it, animals are animals, no matter how smart you are, you don't have a brain, and you're not afraid of running aground to die... If it weren't for how smart you are, we also have fate. I will protect animals in a few years, I don't care You die."
He yelled twice again like a fool, and seeing that it was still following, he cursed a few words and then ignored it.
Fortunately, there is a typhoon and strong waves. Even if the tide is low, the water level near the reef is still quite high. Only the small beach on the front is exposed to a higher terrain.
Because of this, the whale shark may have been washed over there by the waves and ran aground.
After Ye's father docked the boat, Ye Yaodong took a special look at the whale shark following behind the fishing boat, and found that it was also swimming in the sea not far away, so he didn't keep up, so he felt relieved.
The father and son climbed up to the reef, and then climbed over the reef piece by piece with hands and feet, and went around to the beach.
"Huh? Still alive?"
Ye Yaodong stood on the reef, and saw that the mouth of this little whale shark was still opening and closing.
It is said to be small, but it is actually compared to the one in the sea. In fact, it is about three to four meters long, not small at all.
But among the whale sharks, its size is still a baby, and it has not grown up yet.
Normal adult whale sharks are seven or eight meters long, and there are some that are more than ten meters long, such as the one on the bottom of the sea.
"Still alive?"
Ye Yaodong stepped forward and said affirmatively: "I'm still alive, I don't know why, but I'm stranded here."
"It is probably due to the typhoon. The outer sea must be more affected than the near sea, and the wind and waves are stronger, so it lost its way and ran to the near sea."
"It should be, so a big one popped up yesterday, and a small one ran aground today."
The father and son circled the fish back and forth, watching the tide wash up from time to time, and instantly understood why it was still alive and not killed by the sun.
The waves are big, and they are sent up from time to time, which is equivalent to watering it, with the washing of sea water, so it can barely have a breath to breathe there, lingering and waiting for them to come.
"Dongzi, what are we going to do now? This one doesn't look too small, and I don't know if it will be delayed or not... Yes! I can drag it back and sell it! You can drag it back and sell it for money..." Father Ye thought it was feasible while talking. , the eyes are bright.
"This one is so big, it will definitely sell for a lot of money. We can't do anything with the big one in the sea. This one is smaller, and the net lifter should be able to barely drag it onto the boat, right? This estimate should not exceed a ton…”
Father Ye became more and more excited as he talked, as if a lot of money was waving to him.
Ye Yaodong was a little moved, but, "The big one in the sea, I don't know if it is related to this one. What if we get angry and capsize our boat? Just now it obviously asked us to come and save this one." A baby whale shark."
"And we don't have any fishing nets. The line of hand-throwing nets is too thin, and there are not enough manpower. There is no way to get it on the boat. It is still possible to drag it into the sea."
"Ang?" The smile on Ye's father's face froze, almost forgetting that Ye's mother didn't mend the fishing net yesterday, "Then you can't catch it?"
Father Ye was really disappointed when the hope in his heart failed. After all, this fish is so big, it must be worth a lot of money.
Ye Yaodong is also a bit pity, who doesn't want to catch big fish?
If this one is dead, he has to drag it back even if he wants to break his head, but he is still alive...
Hey~ Let’s treat it as a protected animal in advance, so as to comfort myself.
"Drag it back to the sea first. If it is alive, let it be released and accumulate blessings. If it is dead, then find a way to get it on the boat."
Father Ye has also seen the terrible appearance of that big whale shark when it is angry. Some animals will protect their cubs, so he reluctantly said: "Okay."
He tried pushing, but the baby whale shark didn't budge.
Ye Yaodong also stepped forward to help push the fish. The father and son tried their best to push the fish, but they couldn't move the fish at all. There was still a little sea water underneath, and they could use the buoyancy of the water, but the fish couldn't move. Still lying firmly on the beach.
If it weren't for the fact that its mouth could open and close from time to time, and move slightly, they would have thought it was dead.
"No way, Dongzi, I can't push it. There's no other way. Why don't you wait for the tide to rise later? When the tide rises, it will naturally return to the sea."
"I shouldn't be able to return when the tide is high. The tide is rising at this location, and the water level is not high, and it will take several hours. Maybe it will be directly sunburned to death."
Just a bit of sea water that came up from time to time, who knows how long it can last? It is large in size, and when it is exposed to the sun, the water evaporates quickly.
"What are you talking about? This one looks a ton faster, right? It takes ten or eight people to push it back into the sea."
Father Ye patted the body of this little whale shark, not to mention, with such a big body, it is still a baby? It is also rare.
Ye Yaodong pondered for a while, and it was quite difficult for the two of them to push this whale shark back into the sea, so they could only rely on external force.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I'll go to the boat to get the rope and tie up this whale shark. Then let's drive the fishing boat over and use the fishing boat to tow it to see if we can drag it into the sea?"
Father Ye thought about it and felt that this method should work.
"Try it! Let a dead horse be a living horse doctor!"
"Let's go, let it continue to lie down first, I'll get the rope, and you go sail the boat."
"It's troublesome, just mess around, just leave it alone."
"Don't worry about it, that fish has been following us, let's do a good deed that day! Maybe it will be wandering around the nearby sea to see if there is a boat that can help, and when it sees us, it will rely on it again."
Ye Yaodong is very open-minded, grab what you can, and let go of what you can't.
Father Ye was just talking angrily and making complaints. He also saw the big fish begging for help just now.
The father and son used both hands and feet again, carefully climbed up the reef, and returned by the same way.
After a while, Ye Yaodong came back with a bundle of ropes on his back.
He looked left and right, how to tie this up?
"A horse rider, why are you so big? It's not easy to catch, and it's not easy to tie. If you grow so big, you're still a baby. If you talk about it, you will die of laughter..."
"I can also be said to be a baby in the early 300s..."
Ye Yaodong took the rope and circled it around it, muttering while thinking.
Father Ye, who was dripping in the water and came to help, heard it. He staggered and almost fell into the water.
