Chapter 432: Whale shark baby

~11 min read 2,137 words

Ye Yaodong drove the boat behind it, thinking, could it be that they misunderstood? He thought about it, and tentatively turned the boat around and drove back the way they came.

Unexpectedly, this whale shark heard the movement, turned its head, and then quickly swam to the fishing boat, blocking his way.

Holy crap, it really has wisdom?

"Is it really asking us to follow behind it? Why do all good things happen to me?"

Ye's father was also really speechless. He had been an old fisherman for decades, and this was the first time he had encountered such a smart fish.

"Then follow it and see what's going on."

It wouldn't work if they didn't follow. If they didn't follow, this fish would keep wandering around their boat.

"It really got stuck on us..."

Ye Yaodong complained, and had to turn the boat toward the reef. Only then did the fish swim to the front again.

One fish and one boat, one in front and one behind.

The sea surface was sparkling under the sunlight. If it weren't for the waves that were higher than the other, how could this weather look like a typhoon was coming?

The father and son were watching the surroundings and the whale shark in front with their eyes and ears, guessing what it was going to do.

It wasn't until the fishing boat had been sailing behind the fish for five or six minutes that they saw the small island getting closer and closer, and noticed that there was a big guy on the beach over there!

Ye's father rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled again, "Did a big fish get stranded?"

He said as he took a few quick steps forward and lay on the side of the boat, wanting to get closer and see clearly.

Ye Yaodong also opened his mouth in surprise, "Stranded? What fish? I can see it from so far away, it looks like it's not small, is it sending us welfare?"

"Drive faster, get closer and see, see what fish it is..."

He accelerated the boat and leaned toward the coast over there.

As the distance closed, they found that the guy stranded on the beach had some familiar patterns on its body.

Ye's father exclaimed, "Another one? Holy crap? Really or fake, I shouldn't be dazzled, right?"

The father and son both opened their eyes wide and looked at the beach ahead. They both saw that the big guy lying on it was also about grayish-brown, with a few white spots on it, and crisscrossing light-colored bands, which looked particularly obvious.

"Grass, exactly the same pattern. No wonder the whale shark in front kept wandering around our fishing boat, it turns out there is another one stranded here..."

The patterns on the whale shark are very easy to identify. They recognized it at a glance.

"Because it discovered that one was stranded here, it went to find us, and then kept wandering around our boat and didn't leave."

"It's quite smart, but this one doesn't seem as big as the one in the sea." Ye Yaodong slowed down and stood on the side of the boat to look over.

"Stop the boat and take a look first..."

"It's low tide now, we can only stop at the place where the water is deep on the side."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he looked at the back of the fishing boat and found that the big whale shark was following closely, following by the side of the fishing boat. He hurriedly handed the boat to his father to drive.

"You drive, the one behind is so big, don't let it get stranded too, I'll go shout and see if I can let it not come up?"

After his father took over the job of driving 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 shouted a few times, asking it not to move forward, but it turned a deaf ear, letting the sea waves wash its body, and continued to follow the boat.

"Damn it, animals are animals. No matter how smart they are, they don't have brains. Aren't they afraid of getting stranded again and dying... If it weren't for seeing that you are quite smart, and we have a fate, and you will be a protected animal in a few years, I wouldn't care if you live or die."

He shouted twice like an idiot, and seeing that it was still following, he cursed a few times and didn't care anymore.

Fortunately, it was a typhoon day with big waves, even if it was low tide, the water level near the reef was still quite high, and only the small beach on the front was exposed with higher terrain.

Because of this, the whale shark might have been washed to that side and stranded.

After Ye's father stopped the boat, Ye Yaodong specifically looked at the whale shark following behind the fishing boat and found that it was also swimming around in the sea not far away, without following up, so he felt a little relieved.

The father and son climbed onto the reef, and then climbed over the reef one by one with their hands and feet, and went around to the beach.

"Eh? Still alive?"

Ye Yaodong stood on the reef and saw that the whale shark's mouth was still opening and closing.

Saying it's small is actually relative to the one in the sea. In fact, its body is about three or four meters long, not small at all.

But among whale sharks, its size still belongs to a little baby, and it hasn't grown up yet.

A normal adult whale shark is not considered big at seven or eight meters, and there are more than ten meters, such as the one in the seabed at present.

He jumped down from the reef, and Ye's father followed closely, holding the reef and moving slowly. Old people can't jump down from such a high place like young people, and it's easy to break bones if they are not careful.

"Still alive?"

Ye Yaodong walked up and said affirmatively, "Still alive, I don't know how it got stranded here."

"It's probably because of the typhoon. The impact on the outer sea must be greater than the near sea, the wind and waves are big, so it lost its direction and ran to the near sea."

"Should be, so a big one appeared yesterday, and a small one got stranded today."

The father and son circled around the fish, and looking at the tide washing up from time to time, they instantly understood why it was still alive and not sun-dried to death.

The sea waves are big, and it is sent up from time to time, which is equivalent to watering it. With the washing of the sea water, it can barely have a breath to pant there, lingering until they come.

"Dongzi, what should we do now? This one doesn't look small, I don't know if we can drag it... Right! Drag it back and sell it! Can drag it back and sell it for money..." Ye's father felt it was feasible as he spoke, and his eyes lit up.

"This size is so big, it must be able to sell for a lot of money. We can't do anything about the big one in the sea, but this one is smaller, the net machine should be able to barely drag it onto the boat, right? This estimate should not exceed one ton..."

Ye's father became more and more excited as he spoke, as if a lot of banknotes were beckoning to him.

Ye Yaodong was a little tempted, but, "The big one in the sea, I don't know if it has any relatives with this one. What if it gets angry and flips our boat? Just now it was obviously asking us to come over to save this little whale shark."

"And we don't have a fishing net, the line of the hand-thrown net is too thin, and there are not enough people, so we can't get it onto the boat. It's possible to drag it to the sea."

"Eh?" Ye's father's smile froze, almost forgetting that the fishing net was not mended by Ye's mother yesterday, "Then we can't catch it?"

The hope in his heart fell through, and Ye's father was really disappointed. After all, this fish is so big, it must be worth a lot of money.

Ye Yaodong also felt a pity. Who doesn't want to catch big fish?

If this one died, he would drag it back even if he broke his brain, but it's still alive...

Sigh~ let's treat it as a protected animal in advance, so we can comfort ourselves.

"Let's drag it back to the sea first. If it's alive, it's considered releasing life and accumulating blessings. If it dies, we'll think of a way to get it onto the boat."

Ye's father had also seen the terrible appearance of the big whale shark when it was angry. Some animals will protect their cubs, so he said reluctantly, "Alright."

He tried to push it, but the little whale shark didn't move at all.

Ye Yaodong also stepped forward to help push. The father and son used all their strength, but felt that they couldn't push this fish at all. Obviously, there was still a little sea water underneath, and they could borrow a little buoyancy from the water, but this fish was still lying firmly on the beach.

If it weren't for its mouth still being able to open and close from time to time, and moving slightly, they would have thought it had already hung up.

"It won't work, Dongzi, can't push it, no way, otherwise wait for the tide to rise later? After the tide rises, it will naturally return to the sea."

"After the tide rises, it shouldn't be able to return. At this position, the tide rises, the water level is not high, and it will take several hours, maybe it will be sun-dried to death directly."

Just that little sea water that rushes up from time to time, who knows how long it can hold on? Its volume is big, the sun shines, and the water evaporates quickly.

"You tell me what to do? This looks like it's almost a ton, right? It takes eight or ten people to be able to push it back to the sea."

Ye's father patted the body of this little whale shark. Don't say, such a big body, it's still a little baby? It's rare.

Ye Yaodong pondered for a while, it's quite difficult for just the two of them to push this whale shark back to the sea, they can only borrow external force.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll go to the boat to get a rope, tie this whale shark up, and then we'll drive the fishing boat over, use the fishing boat to drag, and see if we can drag it to the sea?"

Ye's father thought about it and felt that this method should be feasible.

"Try it! Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

"Let's go, let it lie down first, I'll go get the rope, you go drive the boat."

"Troublesome to death, tossing around, don't worry about it."

"Don't worry about it, that fish will keep following us, just treat it as doing a good deed! Maybe it was wandering around the nearby sea surface, seeing if there was a boat that could help, and it just happened to see us and stuck to us again."

Ye Yaodong looked at it openly. If it can be caught, it will be caught. If it can't be caught, then let it go.

Ye's father was just saying a angry word, complaining a few words. He also saw the appearance of the big fish asking for help just now.

The father and son climbed onto the reef again with their hands and feet, and returned along the original path.

After a while, Ye Yaodong carried a bundle of rope over.

He looked left and right, how to tie this?

"Damn it, why grow such a big head for no reason? It's not easy to catch, not easy to tie, and it's still a little baby when it grows so big, it's a joke to say it out..."

"I can also say that I am a baby who is just over 300 months old..."

Ye Yaodong held the rope and circled around it, muttering while pondering.

It happened that Ye's father, who came over to help, heard it. He stumbled and almost fell into the water.
