Chapter 882 Not a Minke Whale?
Zhang Zian and Lao Huang exchanged a few words, but because the two people's ages, experiences and personalities did not overlap at all, they felt a little speechless after a few words. Hearing Xiao Zhi's shout, the two turned their heads to look at the past at the same time .
"What? Where?"
The old yellow bus looked around, but the sea was so vast, how could there be a minke whale?
"Over there! Over there!"
Xiaozhi blushed anxiously. He felt that his father didn't believe him, so he desperately pointed in one direction, jumped and shouted.
Zhang Zian also looked over, but Xiao Zhi only pointed in a general direction, and it was completely unclear how far away it was. He stared intently for a while, until his eyes were numb, but saw no minke whales.
The same is true for Lao Huang, who also didn't see it, and asked suspiciously: "How can there be? You can't see it wrong, right?"
Since Xiaozhi rescued the minke whale, his whole body was in a state of excitement. He told his mother what had happened several times, during meals, before going to bed, and even in his dreams. But it's a pity that the minke whale just swam away, and it was clamoring to come to the beach again early this morning. Therefore, Lao Huang suspected that his son was too eager to see minke whales, and his eyes were wrong.
"Really! It was over there just now! Who told you to just talk?" Old Huang's questioning made Xiaozhi hurt, so he said angrily.
Zhang Zian didn't see it either, but he didn't rush to deny it. Instead, he scanned the sea and asked, "Xiao Zhi, did you see it clearly? Did it surface and then sink?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head, "I saw water spraying."
"Is it the jet of water from a whale?" Zhang Zian asked.
"En!" Xiaozhi nodded.
Zhang Zian frowned imperceptibly,
He winked at Lao Huang and called him aside.
Xiaozhi still stared at the sea persistently, trying to wait for the whale's second spray.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Lao Huang saw that Zhang Zian had something to say, and he didn't want to say it in front of Xiao Zhi, so he followed him and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Zian also said in a low voice: "Old Huang, do you think Xiao Zhi really saw a whale?"
Lao Huang hissed and took a deep breath, and said in embarrassment: "Xiao Zhi rarely lies, and I don't want to think that he is lying, but... I really didn't see any air column, you see No?"
"No." Zhang Zian pondered: "Actually, I don't think Xiaozhi is lying, but there is a problem... If it is that half-adult minke whale, we have all seen the air column it sprays, the air column It is relatively thin, and can only be seen when you are very close, but if you are so close, it stands to reason that the seabed near us is relatively flat, and it cannot dive too deep..."
Lao Huang was dumbfounded and didn't understand Zhang Zian's meaning at all, so he had to smile wryly and said, "Brother, what exactly are you trying to say? Why don't you just say it straight, I don't understand what you're saying!"
Zhang Zian had no choice but to explain in plain words: "I mean, either Xiaozhi's eyesight was blurred, or... What he saw was not the minke whale, but a bigger adult whale."
He tried not to suspect the possibility that Xiao Zhi was lying.
For further confirmation, he walked up to Xiao Zhi, knelt down and asked, "Xiao Zhi, how far is the column of air you saw from the sea where we are standing?"
"It's far away, it's almost the end." Xiao Zhi pointed to the junction of the sea and the sky.
After Zhang Zian heard this, he was more inclined to the latter - what Xiaozhi saw might be another whale. From such a long distance, the thin column of air ejected by the minke whale might be difficult to see, unless Xiaozhi has a pair of fighter pilot eyes.
"Brother, is the minke whale coming back to see us?" Xiaozhi asked expectantly.
"Well...it's hard to say, I think it might be another whale." Zhang Zian said frankly, "Xiaozhi, you know that many whales have come to the sea outside our city recently, although most of them are Xiaozhi living in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. baleen whales, but there may have been other species of whales as well."
"Yes..." Xiaozhi was a little disappointed, but then asked curiously: "What kind of whale is it?"
"I don't know for the time being, I have to watch it to find out." Zhang Zian replied.
Therefore, Xiao Zhi and Lao Huang stopped flying the kite. Anyway, the kite seemed to be flawed and couldn't fly high. They sat on the reef with Zhang Zian, staring at the sea, looking for whales.
minutes passed...
Ten minutes have passed...
"Why didn't you spray water? Did the whale swim away?" Xiaozhi fidgeted anxiously, standing up and sitting down. But it's no wonder that boys of this age have always burned their buttocks - they can't sit still.
Lao Huang also waited a little impatiently, most of the time he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and occasionally looked up.
There is nothing on the endless sea, it is empty, if the waves are not still ups and downs, it will really make people suspect that what is in front of them is a huge painting.
"Be patient if you want to see whales." Zhang Zian persuaded, "Whales are slow animals, and it takes a long time to come up for a breath after a dive."
Having said that, the average minke whale's dive time is not so long, which makes him feel even more that if Xiao Zhi is not blinded, then the thing in the sea is definitely not a minke whale.
The deep diving time of minke whales can reach 20 to 25 minutes, but usually they will not dive for such a long time, and they will only dive for about 10 minutes.
Xiaozhi felt anxious and disappointed as if he went to the zoo to see the tiger, but the tiger always lay in the tiger's house and couldn't come out.
Lao Huang looked at his watch again, pulled Xiao Zhi, and said, "Xiao Zhi, let's go, don't wait, you should go to the English interest class."
"But I'm not interested in English!" Xiaozhi twisted his body and said awkwardly, "I'm interested in whales!"
"Cough! It's not a question of whether you are interested or not!" Lao Huang raised his face and taught: "Everyone else's children will go, if you don't go, you will be left behind by others, we can't lose at the starting line!"
Zhang Zian didn't express his opinion, he just pretended he didn't hear it.
"I don't want to take interest classes, I want to watch whales!"
Xiaozhi sat down on the beach and pretended to have a stomachache. He tried everything he could to avoid going to the English interest class, but Lao Huang was determined not to give in on this point, and let him go no matter what.
After making a fuss for a long time, Zhang Zian still felt sympathetic to Xiao Zhi, but Lao Huang actually did the right thing - my Qing Dynasty has its own national conditions here, Xiao Zhi doesn't understand now, and will definitely thank his father in the future.
So he said: "Xiao Zhi, how about it, I'll wait here, you go to the interest class. If the whale appears, I will take a picture and send it to your father - so far away, whether it is with eyes or through photos Look, there is actually no difference, what do you think?"
Xiao Zhi was still reluctant, but there was no other way. ...
