Chapter 1007: Ideas
Shihua was already impatient waiting on the second floor, Zhang Zi'an put her into her mobile phone, and then took Vladimir with her, sat in Wuling Shenguang together, and headed for the seaside in the east.
Vladimir had never been here, jumping from seat to seat along the way, observing everything around him with great interest.
Zhang Zi'an deliberately slowed down the car, introducing it to some of the nearby landmarks and the city's customs.
The weather was pretty good, cloudy, with just the right temperature and humidity, and it was the weekend, and they saw families driving to the parks and attractions in and around downtown Marina.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the seashore.
"Wow, this is the sea!"
Vladimir's eyes widened in amazement at the first sight of the sea level from afar.
"What? The first time I saw the sea?" Zhang Zi'an asked as he stopped the car at his old place.
"Well, the biggest sea I've seen before is Shichahai!" it stared at the sea intently, eager to get out of the car.
Zhang Zi'an: "...... Shichahai is not considered a sea. ”
Opening the car door, it jumped on the nearby reef three times and two, faced the sea breeze of hunting, took a deep breath of slightly salty air, and chanted loudly: "The past is more than a thousand years, Wei Wu whipped it, and there is a legacy in the east of Jieshi." The bleak autumn wind is now again, and the world has changed!"
Zhang Zi'an was very poetic because of it, after all, it was the first time to see the real sea, and he must have felt a lot of emotion. He dragged the assault boat out of the trunk, inflated it, and checked for air leaks, which is a routine job every time he goes to sea, and he can't be sloppy.
In the process of inspection, he noticed that on the Huanhai Avenue, where pedestrians and vehicles are usually scarce, the frequency of vehicles is slightly higher than usual today, and there are heavily armed riders who arch their backs like shrimp and ride handsome road bicycles to speed past.
I don't know if there is anyone who sails out to sea like him, so I should pay more attention today and don't let others see Shihua's appearance. However, the sea is vast, and the chance of meeting other sailors is very low.
After the inspection, he beckoned Vladimir to come aboard, sat in the boat himself, propped the submarine with his oars to push the assault boat off the coast, and activated the propellers when the water was a little deeper.
"Wow!"
Vladimir stood in the bow of the boat, and in high spirits let the wind blow its blue-gray fur unkempt, and the foam of the waves splashed on its face, and it rubbed it off carelessly.
"Why didn't you see the fishing boat?" it asked, noticing that it was empty.
"Because there are no fish to catch near the coast, if you want to fish, you have to go to the ocean, and the fishing ban period has also arrived, so in order to give the sea ecology a time to recuperate, you can't go out to sea to fish during the fishing ban period. Zhang Zi'an explained.
"Really?" Vladimir felt a little regretful when he heard this, but then he recited again: "Fishing boats outside the coastal city, there is no ocean, who do you know towards?"
When he came to the deep sea area, Zhang Zi'an turned off the motor, let the boat stop slowly, picked up the binoculars and looked around, and made sure that there were no other ships and others nearby, so he started the game to release Shihua.
Poof!
She fell into the sea, her tail fin swinging her head and neck out of the sea, the salty taste in her mouth and the waves that followed, and she immediately understood that it was seawater.
"A-Ze'an, let's come down and play in the water!" she happily swam around the assault boat and beckoned to him.
Zhang Zi'an put his hand into the water and tried it, shook his head and said, "Forget it, you better play by yourself, the water is still quite cold, I don't want to catch a cold, and besides, I didn't bring a swimsuit." ”
The most important thing is, if he also goes into the water, who will observe if anyone is approaching?
I heard that when Wang Qian and Li Kun came to play by boat a few days ago, they also went into the water to swim, what a stupid boy slept on a cool kang, and it all relied on firepower!
It's easy to get into the water, but after coming up, your whole body is drenched, and it's easy to catch a cold when you are blown by the sea breeze.
"Huh, where did this cat come from?" Shihua asked in surprise, pointing to Vladimir on the bow of the ship.
"Hey, I'm Vladimir, new here. Vladimir waved his paws.
Vladimir is a raunchy, informal kind of character, plus it doesn't need to eat, of course, it doesn't need to go to the toilet, so it basically hasn't gone to the bathroom since it came, and it has never intersected with Shihua.
Shihua looked at it suspiciously, "Aren't you afraid of water?" I've heard that cats are afraid of water, and even Fina doesn't like water very much. ”
Vladimir smiled, "Because other cats are afraid of water, so I should also be afraid of water? This reason doesn't make sense! A thorough meow is fearless, but he can go up to the moon for nine days, and he can go down to the five seas to catch turtles, what is there to be afraid of?"
Shihua was very confused when he heard this, and could only understand its words literally, so he pointed to its cat's paw and said: "I don't know about the moon in the last nine days, but your paw doesn't look like it can go down to the five oceans to catch turtles!
Vladimir laughed, "You're right, I really can't go down to the five seas to catch turtles, but maybe there are other cats that can, the world is a family, I don't need to do everything myself." ”
Shihua's brain is relatively simple, and he stubbornly grasps its words, "In short, the ocean belongs to fish, and no cat can go down to the five oceans to catch turtles!"
"Actually, that's not accurate. Zhang Zi'an interjected: "Most kinds of cats are afraid of water and hate to be drenched in water, which is true, but as far as I know, there is a kind of cat that is not afraid of water, but likes water very much, feeds on fish, and goes into the water to fish almost every day." ”
"Ah, and this kind of cat?" Shihua was shocked, and at the same time glad that Fina was not the kind of cat that Zhang Zi'an said.
Vladimir was also curious, what he said about catching turtles in the five seas was just a rhetorical device, and he didn't expect that there would really be cats going into the water for fishing.
Zhang Zi'an said: "That kind of cat is a very rare Turkish Van cat, I heard that it only lives near Lake Van in eastern Turkey, and there are less than 100 of them fishing in the lower lake, and even because they are proficient in swimming, they are nicknamed 'swimming cats'." When people talk about sky-high price cats, they often cite servals, Athera, and Savannah cats as examples, and rich people are also proud to have these cats, but in fact, the price of these cats is far less than that of the Van cat, which is a national treasure of Turkey. The price of the cat is millions of dollars, and there is no market, the Turkish government does not allow anyone to take the cat out of the country, and the only thing that can match the price of the cat may be the legendary original Egyptian cat.
Coincidentally, Lake Van in eastern Turkey is very close to Egypt, separated only by a part of the Mediterranean Sea, and he also considered whether to take the opportunity of this expedition to Egypt to go to Turkey at his own expense to see the world's most expensive cat. However, it may be difficult to have the opportunity to see it with your own eyes after you go.
Scarcity is not entirely a good thing, for example, the number of Van cats has reached a precarious point, and the number of them is currently known to be less than a hundred.
Generally speaking, an individual species needs at least 1,000 individuals to survive and reproduce for a long time, and at least 50 individuals to survive in the short term.
Also an endangered animal, Turkey's protection of the cat is far less than China's protection of the giant panda, so the population crisis of the cat has not been effectively alleviated, and perhaps in a few years, there will be no such cat in the world that likes to go into the water to fish.
Vladimir shook his head in disagreement, "Cats and cats are equal, how can there be a distinction between high and low? All cats, or at least all cats in a country, or all cats in a society, should have equal political and social status." ”
Zhang Zi'an smiled, "Indeed, cats are not expensive, whether it is a scarce cat or the most common native cat is an equal life, the so-called price is only imposed by people, but after all, modern society is a down-and-out commercial society, not to mention cats, even if it is a person, there is also a hidden price - some people earn more money and contribute a lot to society, he is valuable; on the contrary, some people earn less money and do not contribute much to society, so he is not worthy...... It may sound cruel, but it is the way it is, and there is no need to whitewash the peace. ”
Shihua breathed a sigh of relief in fear, "Fortunately, I am the only mermaid in the world...... Hey, what kind of eyes are you? Do you mean that if there was another mermaid, I would be the worthless one?"
She pointed at Zhang Zi'an angrily.
He shrugged aggrievedly, "I didn't say anything!"
"That's what your expression says!" she said angrily.
"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" Zhang Zian resolutely refused to admit it.
Vladimir stared at the place where the sea and the sky met in the distance, and muttered: "In my lifetime, I must build a world without exploitation, oppression, and money, and where cats and cats are equal!"
Zhang Zi was relieved, and felt that Fina might not agree to the arrival of this kind of world, in Fina's cognition, cats and cats are hierarchical, just like people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and when the time comes, will it conflict with Vladimir because of the difference in ideas?
Both of them have strong hearts, and don't expect them to be remodeled by each other's minds.
Fina has unparalleled command over domestic cats, while Vladimir seems to be combining stray cats and wild cats.
But fortunately, even if this kind of world exists, I am afraid that it will be realized many years later, and it may not be realized in his lifetime, after all, even people have not achieved complete equality, how easy is it to talk about the equality of cats and cats? There is no need to worry about this now.
For at least today, put that aside and enjoy the sea breeze and sunshine together!
