Chapter 882 - Not a Minke Whale?
Zhang Zi'an and Lao Huang exchanged a few words, but because their age, experience and personality did not coincide at all, they felt a little speechless after chatting for a few words, and when they heard Xiao Zhi's shout, the two turned their heads to look at the past at the same time.
"What?
Lao Huang looked around with his neck crossed, but the sea was vast, how could there be the shadow of a minke whale?
"Over there! over there!"
Xiao Zhi blushed in a hurry, he felt that his father didn't believe him, and desperately pointed in one direction, jumping to his feet and shouting.
Zhang Zi'an also looked over, but Xiao Zhi only pointed in a general direction, and it was not clear how far away it was. He stared intently for a moment, his eyes frozen, but he didn't see any minke whales.
Lao Huang did the same, he didn't see it either, and asked suspiciously: "How can there be?"
Since Xiao Zhi rescued the minke whale, the whole person is in a state of excitement, and he has talked to his mother several times about what happened, chattering during meals, and before going to bed, and even muttering a few words when he dreams, but unfortunately the minke whale swam away like that, and he shouted early this morning to come to the beach again. Therefore, Lao Huang suspected that his son wanted to see minke whales too much, and he was dazzled by the wrong sight.
"Really! It was over there just now!Who told you to just talk?" Lao Huang's questioning Xiao Zhi was very hurt, so he said angrily.
Zhang Zi'an didn't see it either, but he didn't rush to deny it, but asked while scanning the sea: "Xiaozhi, do you see clearly? Did it surface and sink again?"
Xiao Zhi shook his head, "I saw the squirting." ”
"Is it the whale's jet of water?" Zhang Zi'an asked.
"Hmm!" Xiao Zhi nodded.
Zhang Zi'an frowned imperceptibly, glanced at Lao Huang, and called him aside.
Xiao Zhi still stared at the sea stubbornly, trying to wait for the whale's second squirt.
"Brother, what's the matter?" Lao Huang saw that Zhang Zi'an had something to say, and he didn't want to say it in front of Xiao Zhi, so he came over and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Zi'an also said in a low voice: "Lao Huang, do you think Xiao Zhi really saw a whale?"
Lao Huang took a breath and said embarrassedly: "Xiao Zhi, this kid, usually rarely lies, I don't want to think that he lies, but ...... I really didn't see any air columns, did you see them?"
"Nope. Zhang Zi'an groaned: "Actually, I don't think Xiao Zhi is lying, but there is a problem...... If it's the half-adult minke whale, we've all seen the air column that sprays water, and the air column is relatively thin, and you can only see it when you're very close, but if it's that close, it stands to reason that the seabed near us is relatively gentle, and it can't dive too deep......"
Lao Huang was stunned, and didn't understand what Zhang Zi'an meant at all, so he had to smile bitterly: "Brother, what do you want to say?
Zhang Zi'an had to explain in simple words: "I mean, either Xiaozhi is dazzled, or ...... It wasn't the minke whale he saw, it was a larger adult whale. ”
He tried not to suspect that Xiao Zhi was lying.
In order to further confirm, he walked up to Xiao Zhi, squatted down and asked, "Xiao Zhi, how far is the air column you see from the seaside where we are standing?"
"It's far away, it's almost the end. Xiao Zhiyao pointed to the junction of sea and sky.
Zhang Zi'an listened, and was more inclined to the latter - Xiao Zhi might have seen another whale. At such a distance, it may be difficult to see the thin column of air spewed out by the minke whale, unless Xiao Zhi has a pair of fighter pilot eyes.
"Brother, are minke whales coming back to see us?" Xiao Zhi asked expectantly.
"Well...... It's hard to say, I think it could be another whale. Zhang Zi'an said frankly, "Xiaozhi, you know that many whales have come to the open sea of our city recently, although most of them are minke whales living in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, but there may be other species of whales among them. ”
"Yes...... Xiao Zhi was a little disappointed, but then asked curiously, "What kind of whale?"
"I don't know for the time being, but I'll have to see it. Zhang Zi'an replied.
So, Xiao Zhi and Lao Huang stopped flying the kite, anyway, the kite seemed to be flawed, and it always didn't fly high, sitting on the reef with Zhang Zi'an, staring at the sea, looking for whale traces.
A few minutes passed......
More than ten minutes passed......
"Why don't you spray water?, did the whale swim away?" Xiao Zhi fidgeted anxiously, stood up for a while, and sat down for a while. But it's no wonder that boys of this age have always burned monkey butts - can't sit still.
Lao Huang was also a little impatient to wait, most of the time he lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and occasionally looked up.
There was nothing on the endless sea, it was empty, and if it weren't for the rising and falling waves, one would really suspect that there was a huge painting in front of you.
"If you want to see whales, be patient. Zhang Zi'an persuaded, "Whales are slow-moving animals, and it takes a long time to come up for ventilation after a dive." ”
Having said that, the dive time of minke whales is not so long, which makes him feel even more that if Xiao Zhi is not dazzled, then the sea must not be minke whales.
Minke whales can dive for 20 to 25 minutes, but usually don't dive for that long, probably only in the early 10 minutes.
Xiao Zhi was like going to the zoo to see the tiger, but the tiger was always lying in the tiger hut and not coming out, both anxious and disappointed.
Lao Huang looked at his watch again, pulled Xiao Zhi, and said, "Xiao Zhi, let's go, don't wait, you should go to an English interest class." ”
"But I'm not interested in English!" Xiao Zhi said awkwardly, "I'm interested in whales!"
"Ahem! It's not a question of interest!" Lao Huang put on a face and said: "Other people's children are all on it, if you don't go on, you will be left behind by others, we can't lose at the starting line!"
Zhang Zi'an didn't express his opinion, but he didn't hear it.
"I don't want to go to a hobby class, I want to see whales!"
Xiao Zhi sat on the beach and pretended to have a stomachache, and he didn't want to go to an English interest class, but Lao Huang resolutely refused to give in on this point, and let him go if he said anything.
After making a fuss for a long time, Zhang Zi'an still sympathized with Xiao Zhi in his heart, but Lao Huang actually did not do it right - I have my own national conditions in the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Zhi does not understand now, and he will definitely thank his father in the future.
So he said: "Xiaozhi, let's do it, I'll wait here, you go to the interest class." If the whale appears, I'll take a picture and send it to your father - it's so far away, whether you look at it with your eyes or through the photo, it doesn't really make a difference, you say, okay?"
Xiao Zhi was still reluctant, but there was no other way.
