Chapter 421: Finally Willing to Leave

~11 min read 2,138 words

Its head is relatively flat, its body is cylindrical, the overall color of its body is gray, and there are spots on the outer skin. The white spots are indeed quite distinctive.

Ye's father looked at the colossus that suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and his heart trembled. He had never seen such a big fish in his life, and it was almost catching up with their boat.

Although the oarfish is also more than ten meters long, its flat body shape cannot be compared with this whale shark.

"Ah... ah... how... how did it float up? Too... too scary... hurry hurry hurry... run..."

Ye's father was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly, and he was about to drive the boat to run away.

Ye Yaodong helped his father up and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I heard that this whale shark is very gentle and won't attack people for no reason."

In this era, the development of the ocean is not perfect, and ordinary people don't know much about such large marine life. Ye Yaodong also relied on his previous life's experience to identify that this was a whale shark. Otherwise, he would be as panicked as Ye's father.

I heard that whale sharks treat humans gently when they encounter them, and often play with people who go down to the water. It is a gentle big guy, but he hasn't tried it.

"Still don't be afraid? With such a big head, if it sucks a breath casually, the boat will shake for half an hour. If its tail slaps on the boat, we will go directly to the sea to feed the fish. Hurry up and run..." Ye's father shouted in a panic, and wanted to drive the boat again.

Ye Yaodong didn't stop him. It's good to stay away from such a colossus. No matter how gentle it is, this is the overlord of the ocean. Mainly, he hasn't had close contact with it in his previous life, so safety first.

Ye's father quickly started the boat and added enough horsepower, wanting to escape here immediately and stay far away from the whale shark.

What they didn't expect was that the whale shark followed behind. Suddenly, it caught up, and its head was side by side with the fishing boat...

Those small eyes were beside the fishing boat, and the row of small teeth exposed, at least thousands of them. This scared Ye's father so much that his legs went soft and he almost knelt down.

If it opens its mouth, I guess it won't be enough to stuff its teeth, right?

In a panic, Ye's father instinctively supported his right hand on the diesel engine, but he didn't want the diesel engine to be very hot when it was running.

His hand was scalded as soon as it touched it. Even though he retracted it quickly, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were covered with three large blisters at the moment of contact.

"Hiss~"

After Ye Yaodong saw his father's hand injured, he immediately came back to his senses, went to pick up a bucket of clean water, let his father put his hand in, and then immediately went to the cabin to get old tea oil to wipe his father. The universal tea oil is a must-have on their boat.

Just now, seeing the whale shark wandering around their fishing boat, he was also stunned, his heart beating faster and faster uncontrollably, and he was nervous for a while. He had never seen a whale shark so close.

He could clearly see the pattern on it, and there were many small fish attached to it.

The small fish on it are only relative to the size of the whale shark. In fact, the size is not small, it should be thirty or fifty centimeters, called remora, which is a diving fish that is good at "hitchhiking" and is a slacker in the fish world.

Really, too too too big... and it really can be compared with their boat.

If it weren't for his father's hand injury, he hadn't come back to his senses yet. He was stunned by such a large size.

But the whale shark seemed very excited. It kept waving its fins to signal them, which made the father and son a bit confused.

"This... is this saying hello to us?"

Ye Yaodong also uncertainly said: "Should... should be, right?"

The whale shark seemed really happy. It swam a distance away and kept a distance from their boat.

Then, under the attention of the father and son, it jumped high out of the water. When it jumped up and fell, it was like a long bridge. The huge body fell into the water and slapped up a shocking wave, just like a fountain, directly submerging the whale shark in the middle.

He and Ye's father stood by the ship's side and were stunned. Large pieces of water splashed down from the air, like a waterfall. It was quite spectacular and beautiful, but he was splashed all over his face by the side of the ship, and there were water droplets dripping from his hair.

Ye Yaodong took off his sun hat when he went down to the water, and didn't wear it later. This time he was really splashed in the face. The waves that turned up, under the refraction of the sun, even appeared a small rainbow, but it disappeared in a few seconds.

Ye's father swallowed his saliva, wiped the water droplets on his face, and shook his flat-top head, "If this tail slaps on our boat..."

"Let's drive the boat to the reef quickly, say hello to A-Zheng and Xiao Xiao. Anyway, there are not many abalones, so let's not go down to the water. Originally, I planned to go for one more day and then stop. I earned a lot, not bad for this time. Let's go back early. Just treat it as a white trip today."

"Anyway, the fishing net is broken, and we can't continue trawling. Let's go back and check the gap, and repair it if it should be repaired."

"Hmm."

He let his father rest on the side and went to drive the boat himself.

The fishing boat had been sailing without stopping, but the whale shark had just finished performing, and it actually followed again. The father and son looked at each other, and they were confused.

"What is it doing? Why follow all the time? Although it didn't attack us, it looks scary." Ye's father was not as scared as he was at the beginning, but he only thought about escaping.

"Let's go our way..."

Before Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he saw the whale shark swimming to the side of the boat, and also opened its blood basin...

This really scared him!

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but grip the handle that controlled the direction, widened his eyes, and quickly turned the boat to stay away.

Ye's father was also scared and took a few steps back.

Did this whale shark change its mind?

The father and son only wanted to run away now, and didn't think about what it meant to open its mouth wide, until the whale shark slapped the ship's side with its fins, and opened its mouth wide again.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but think, "It's not that it's not full, right?"

"Ah?"

"Is this opening its mouth for food?"

"Really?"

Ye Yaodong stopped the boat, "Try it."

He went to the cabin and took out the small bucket of fish bait left over from the night's longline fishing. However, he felt that this bucket was not enough for people to stuff their teeth.

"Dongzi, be careful... or forget it? Let's run away quickly!"

"Try it, otherwise it will follow us all the time, it's scary."

"But you have to get close... and this small bucket of fish bait is not enough for it to stuff its teeth..."

"It should be fine, otherwise it would have attacked our boat long ago."

He held the bucket and carefully approached the side of the ship, and then quickly poured it into the blood basin that was opened wide. The deep caliber was like a bottomless pit. The small bucket of fish bait was poured in and disappeared in an instant, and its mouth was still open there.

After pouring the fish bait, Ye Yaodong quickly retreated a few steps. Although he knew that this whale shark was gentle, he was still nervous because it was beside its mouth.

Seeing that it was still opening its mouth and waiting, he couldn't help but speak, "Brother, there is no more, I haven't opened for business yet, and you ran over to eat the buffet. The goods in the fishing net were eaten by you, and the rest were all given to you."

He shook the empty bucket, and only dripped a few drops of fishy water, "Look, it's really gone!"

The whale shark slapped the ship's side a few more times, and the boat shook violently. The father and son almost couldn't stand still, and fortunately supported the cabin beside them.

Ye Yaodong said with a sad face, "It's really gone, big brother, go to the sea and suck a few mouthfuls to be full..."

I don't know if it understood, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and the whale shark closed its mouth, looked at them a few times, and then dived into the water.

The father and son stretched their necks and looked at the sea surface, and there was no movement for a while.

"Really gone?"

"Should be?"

The two of them let out a long sigh of relief in unison.

"Gone is good, gone is good... don't follow again..."

Just as Ye's father finished speaking, the whale shark floated up again, and his heart was raised again.

This heart was raised and dropped, raised and dropped in a short time. Ye's father felt that he would have a heart attack if he came twice more.

But this time it was a bit different. Not long after the whale shark floated out of the sea, the remoras attached to it suddenly fell off, and when they fell, it also dived into the sea together.

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly went to the cabin to get a hand-throwing net. Before Ye's father could react, he quickly threw a net down.

"Dongzi?"

"I'm catching those remoras."

"The fish that fell off that big guy?"

"Hmm."

"Aren't you afraid of netting that big guy again?"

"Try it, it should be gone, right? These remoras should be the buffet fee it gave. It ate so many of my fish goods, it has to compensate me a little?"

Anyway, he understood it this way. This fish heard that it has the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old child, and it is very friendly to humans. It is just that the size is a bit scary.

Seeing it appear around the fishing boat several times, and having no intention of hurting them, Ye Yaodong's courage also grew a lot.

"Think too much."

Ye's father muttered, but he wanted to reach out and help, but the place where his hand was scalded was still painful, so he could only watch him collect the net.

Ye Yaodong tried to collect the net, feeling very relaxed, and definitely didn't net that whale shark again.

When he collected the fishing net little by little, he also saw three remoras struggling inside, as well as a few small fish and shrimp.

"Only three, what are you catching them for? Waste of time, hurry up and drive the boat away, lest that big guy follow again."

"Fishing with fish, have you heard of it?"

"What stuff?"

"You'll know in a while, hurry up and help me hit a bucket of seawater."

He quickly untied the fishing net in a familiar way, grabbed the 3 remoras inside and put them in the bucket. This he still has to use.

Being able to catch three can be considered good luck. It was delayed for a while in the middle, and most of them swam away, but three are enough.

Ye's father knows this fish, but is not familiar with its habits.

"This fish is not valuable, why catch these few specifically? What are you messing around with again? Go back early, the big net for trawling is broken again, and it can't be caught..."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father's scalded hand, and hesitated, "It's already wiped with old tea oil, should it be okay? Does it still hurt? Forget it, forget it, don't try it, let's go back first..."

"What are you going to do again?" ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
