Xu Wenlong stretched out his sturdy arms, sweated like rain and paddled his oars, and drove briskly with the lifeboat. The sun in the Pacific Ocean is warm and unobstructed, making him an authentic African in just a few days. The whole body is dark and shiny, the back is cracked and peeling, and when he occasionally opens his mouth to speak, he reveals a row of white and dazzling teeth.

It was noon, and it was time for Yu Wenli to practice swimming. But today is different, the ready-made fish has already been eaten up by the white dolphins, and Yu Wenli is playing so much that she completely forgets to fish to supplement food. Of course, swimming is impossible, and the huge dolphin is on the side, and no one is worried that she will go into the sea alone.

Xu Wenlong sighed, glanced at his rumbling belly, cheered up and continued to paddle forward.

Yu Wenli is no longer lonely and lonely in the stern of the boat, and she is not unreasonable to talk about. She secretly changed into dry clothes, and kept teasing with the white dolphins, giggling, excited, and happy, completely forgetting the time, forgetting the worries, forgetting everything in the world. It was her happiest day, not one of them. And the white dolphin is also magical, gentler than a cat and cuter than a rabbit. It had no intention of leaving, and kept chasing the lifeboat, shaking its head and tail, jumping up and down, letting Yu Wenli touch it, letting Yu Wenli slap it, and even stretching out its long mouth for her to kiss. This made Yu Wenli happy, and she almost had a hot head, and she wanted to jump into the sea to play with it.

"Chirp......" The white dolphin brushed the side of the boat for a while, and suddenly its head sank, and a fierce man plunged into the sea, and the waves stirred up shook the lifeboat to the ground. A few seconds later, it floated up a few dozen meters away, chirping and slowly swimming towards the lifeboat.

"What's wrong? Xiaobai, are you hungry? When we're hungry, we'll eat a little more......" Yu Wenli patted the white dolphin on the back and reached for the fish. She didn't want to wait until she turned around to see that the cabin was empty, and there was nothing left except a few pieces of meat for bait. Only then did she realize that she had forgotten about preparing lunch while she was playing. What can I do? People rowed for a long time, without stopping, the water and rice did not enter, and it is estimated that they were hungry for a long time. Thinking of this, Yu Wenli couldn't help but glance at Xu Wenlong, hurriedly picked up the hook and fishing rope, and deliberately said loudly while hanging the bait: "Xiaobai, let's stop playing, let's fish together, okay?" Catch a big tuna. That brother-in-law Long over there hasn't eaten yet, but he's starving, and he may have scolded me thousands of times or tens of thousands of times in his heart. Well, swim a little away, I'm going to throw the hook......"

When Xu Wenlong heard this, he rolled his eyes in a dejected manner, frowned and stopped her loudly: "Don't, you can't fish." ”

"What do you say? Can't fish? Yu Wenli was taken aback, tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why?" Why can't you fish if you're good? What do we eat without fishing? Do you drink sea water and the northwest wind? ”

Xu Wenlong shook the oar and replied, "There are no fish around here, and I was scared away by your dolphins." ”

Yu Wenli was stunned, then shook her head and said categorically: "I don't believe it, you are talking nonsense." Xiaobai is gentle, not fierce at all, and other fish will never be afraid of it. So ......"

"What if the hook gets bitten by your dolphin? Aren't you afraid that it will go crazy and overturn the ship? ”

"This ......" Yu Wenli looked at the white dolphins swimming in the boat, thinking that if the hook was really swallowed by it, it would definitely be a terrible thing, and the pain would hurt to death. Thinking of this, she reluctantly put down the fishhook in her hand, and said guiltily, "But you haven't eaten yet, what can you do?" After rowing for so long, how can you do without eating? ”

Xu Wenlong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked into the distance and replied gloomily: "What else can I do?" I can only wait slowly. If you're hungry, eat that can of beef and don't have to keep it anymore. Because of the fish hook, we shouldn't have to worry about eating anymore in the future. ”

"Not necessarily, let's save it for later." Yu Wenli swayed, looked at Xu Wenlong and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by waiting slowly?" What are you waiting for? ”

"Wait for your white dolphin to leave. As soon as it leaves us, we can fish. ”

"No, no!" Yu Wenli was in a hurry, and hurriedly hugged the white dolphin's broad back, as if she was worried that it would disappear in the blink of an eye, "Xiaobai can't leave me, and I don't want to leave Xiaobai!" We want to be together every day and never be apart! ”

Xu Wenlong shook his head and continued to row the oars silently.

"That'...... Then do you think Xiaobai will be in ...... When will you leave me? After being silent for a long time, Yu Wenli asked Xu Wenlong with a hint of sadness. She thought about it and finally figured it out, no matter how much she loved Xiaobai, no matter how much she couldn't bear it to leave, but the mermaids had different paths and could not return together, and the moment when the song ended and people dispersed would eventually come as scheduled, it was just a matter of time.

"In the evening, tonight it will leave. Because it has to forage for food, it also has to spend the night with its companions in case of attack by ferocious fish. ”

"And will it come back tomorrow? Should be back, will be back for sure! It will come back to me after so long and so far, and it will come back to me tomorrow! Yu Wenli seemed to be asking Xu Wenlong, and seemed to be giving herself confidence. In short, the tone is very sad, the mood is very low, and the heart is full of infinite contradictions.

Xu Wenlong opened his mouth, wanting to say a few nice words to comfort her. But after thinking about it, I finally dispelled that thought, and only silently waved my arms and rowed the dinghy forward without stopping......

"Poor Xiaobai, you're hungry. It's just that I didn't catch many fish yesterday and couldn't get you enough to eat. But it doesn't matter, I'm going to fish well tonight, I'm going to fish hard, and I'm sure I'm going to catch a lot of fish waiting for you. So, you must come back tomorrow, and don't keep me waiting......"

Xu Wenlong didn't look back, nor did he interject to speak, letting Yu Wenli babble at the dolphin behind him.

"Xiaobai, tell me, where have you been all this time? Why didn't you come to me sooner? Don't you know how much I miss you? In order to find you as soon as possible, I even ...... You even want to trick Captain James into changing course......"

"Oh, don't be naughty, listen to me...... Xiaobai, what kind of fish do you like to eat? Tell me and I'll have you ready tomorrow...... Hey, Xiaobai, where are you going? Come back, come back, it's not dark yet, how can you go......"

The voice was anxious and panicked. Xu Wenlong still rowed his boat without saying a word.

"Hahaha...... You're still back. Xiaobai, are you kidding me? Are you deliberately mad at me? Are you reluctant to leave me? Ah, what is it? Fish? Where did the fish come from? You, you, you......"

When Xu Wenlong heard this, he looked back, his eyes were straight for a while, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't come to his senses for a long time. It turned out that there was a dying broadmouth fish lying in the cabin. Although the fish is not big, it is only three or four catties. But for the hungry Xu Wenlong and Yu Wenli, it is already a great blessing.

"What are you doing? Cut the fish! Yu Wenli glanced at Xu Wenlong, who was stunned and at a loss, and kept stroking the white dolphin on the side of the boat, "Ah, Xiaobai, my dearest and favorite Xiaobai, it turns out that you also know that we are hungry." Good, so good, I love you to death......

Xu Wenlong blinked vigorously, and found that all this was real, not in a daydream, he "swished" out the dagger on his waist, strode across the freshwater tank, grabbed the sea fish with the gill cover and quickly slaughtered it, and separated the bone and flesh in a while. He picked the largest piece of fish and handed it to Yu Wenli, motioning for her to throw it to the dolphin. Then he added the rest of the meat to five, divided it into half and put it at Yu Wenli's feet, and grabbed the rest of the meat and ate it in a big gulp, not even dipping the sun-dried salt crystals. That kind of energy and comfort is comparable to eating rare birds and animals, seafood and mountain delicacies.

Yu Wenli took the fish with a smile, patted the white dolphin's snout, and threw it casually.

The white dolphin roared happily, turned around and swam away, and at the moment when the fish was on the ground, it opened its mouth and snapped and swallowed it. After eating, he turned around and slowly swam to Yu Wenli, tilting his head and chirping, looking like he was still salivating.

"Little glutton, haven't you eaten yet?" Yu Wenli stretched out her fingers and poked the white dolphin's forehead, grabbed the fish meat next to her, and opened her arm to throw it away. At this moment, she suddenly found that Xu Wenlong was looking at her with his mouth open, and his appearance was the same as the white dolphin next to the boat. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to her senses. There is too little fish and meat to dare to love, and he is not yet full. She smiled apologetically, stuffed the fish into Xu Wenlong's hand, and said in a low voice like a thief, "Eat quickly, eat secretly, don't be seen by Xiaobai." ”

Xu Wenlong smiled bitterly, and also said softly to her: "Don't fight, let's eat." It's hard to stay up all night on an empty stomach, and it's a question of whether you can catch fish at night. ”

Yu Wenli glared at her, and said in a commanding tone: "If you are told to eat, what kind of fake Sven is it?" Dislike. ”

Xu Wenlong didn't want to reason with her, and he couldn't reason with her, so he grabbed the fish and ate it in a daze.

Yu Wenli smiled, smiled sweetly, and was also very happy. She watched Xu Wenlong finish eating the fish, and then slowly turned around, deliberately spread her hands and said to the white dolphin: "No, it's all eaten, there is nothing left, only fish bones." But the fish bones can't be eaten for you, and if they get stuck in your throat, it will be a big problem. ”

The white dolphin flicked its tail, still looking at Yu Wenli with a pair of big round eyes.

Yu Wenli was helpless, so she had to touch its mouth lightly, and said in a very guilty tone: "I'm sorry, Xiaobai, the fish you caught is too small." Look, the rowing brother-in-law of the dragon is not enough to eat. It's been a long time, and I've almost become a hungry ghost. If he starves to death, I'll die with him. Can you bear to watch me die? I'm guessing you're not willing, aren't you? Otherwise, you can go down and catch another one. Grab a big one, I'll ask that dragon brother-in-law to rip meat for you to eat. After speaking, she patted the white dolphin's head, pointed to the bottom of the sea, made a fishing action, and then sent the "caught" fish to her mouth, and "chewed" it.

However, the white dolphin did not react, and still floated quietly on the surface of the sea, looking at her indifferently.

Yu Wenli was neither anxious nor annoyed, and patiently demonstrated the full set of actions again. In order to express her intentions more vividly and intuitively, she even dipped her head in the seawater, and then took the trouble to instruct the white dolphin to dive into the sea to catch fish.

Xu Wenlong smiled, scooped a jar of water and drank it, wiped his mouth and said to Yu Wenli: "It is already a great miracle to be able to help us catch a fish." Do you want it to help you catch a big boat? Isn't that tantamount to wishing for pie in the sky? Is there such a good thing in the world? ”

Yu Wenli snorted in her nose and replied unconvinced: "Isn't there already one dropped?" I was eaten in three or two bites. If there is one, there will be two, and I don't believe that it will not fall again. ”

Xu Wenlong looked at Yu Wenli dumbfounded, half speechless.

Yu Wenli smiled proudly and continued to teach the white dolphin with the gesture.

Xu Wenlong spoke again, and only watched with interest as one person and one dolphin were talking and communicating silently on the side of the boat.

The so-called hard work pays off. With Yu Wenli's unremitting efforts, the white dolphin finally made a move. I saw that its body twisted, its tail swinged, and poured a splash of seawater on Yu Wenli's body, and the whole thing swam away like a torpedo, and swam far away to the side and jumped and jumped to play in the water alone, really leaving Yu Wenli, who was confused and confused, in a daze in the boat.

Xu Wenlong shrugged his shoulders and forced himself not to laugh out loud.

Yu Wenli had a sixth sense, and instantly sensed Xu Wenlong's ridicule. She looked back at him angrily, then spread her arms, kept waving back and forth, and shouted as hard as she could, "Xiaobai, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's wrong." It's not playing in the water, it's diving, it's diving into the sea to catch fish. Quick, dive down and catch a big fish. If you don't go on, I'll ignore you......"

But how can the white dolphin take care of her, a fish is swimming in the distance, and it is having fun.

Yu Wenli shouted and broke her throat, but she didn't get any response, she was so angry that her nose and eyes were crooked, her seven orifices were smoking, and she threw down a sentence of "ignore you" angrily, but she sat in the cabin angrily, pouted her mouth and cold face, puffed up her chest and panted.

Xu Wenlong ignored Mingzhe to protect himself, and planned to take a short rest, so he continued to row the boat.

Yu Wenli secretly glanced at Xu Wenlong a few times, and saw that he was always sitting with a blank face, as if he hadn't seen anything, and a stone in her heart fell to the ground slightly. After sitting quietly like this for a while, Yu Wenli suddenly burst out laughing, and said angrily while laughing: "Nasty Xiaobai, see how I clean you up when you come back." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Wenlong again, and saw that he was still motionless with a straight face, and he did not answer. So he stretched his waist, looked past Xu Wenlong in front of him, and said in a voice that couldn't be lighter: "You said that dolphins are very gentle, have a good temperament, and can't bite or eat people, right?" ”

"That's usually the case." Xu Wenlong replied lightly, "But if it feels threatened or is attacked, then it will still resist, and it will be very deadly." You look at its thick and body and powerful tail to know how powerful it is to fight back! ”

"Well, as long as you don't provoke it and don't do anything drastic in front of it, then it's safe to be with it and won't get any harm. Is that what it means? ”

"Not bad!" Xu Wenlong nodded, then his face turned pale, and he looked straight at Yu Wenli and said, "What are you asking for?" Do you want to swim over and play with it? ”

Yu Wenli grinned, and then said with a serious face: "Do you think I'm so stupid?" How long can you swim and how far you can swim, will you have no number in your heart? ”

Xu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his waist and said, "You play slowly, I'm going to start rowing." ”

"Go ahead, anyway, if we go far, Xiaobai will catch up." Yu Wenli waved her hand, turned to look at the white dolphin in the distance, "I can also take the opportunity to fish...... Yes...... Little White ...... Little white it swam over......"

Xu Wenlong looked up, and sure enough, he found that after the white dolphin turned a few somersaults, he turned around and swam back, and the speed was very fast, like a meteor dragging a long tail flame. He then told Yu Wenli to "pay attention to safety, don't get too close to the dolphins", and then stepped across the freshwater tank and grabbed the oars resting on the bow of the boat......

With a "pop" sound, a fat big fish was planted in the air into the salt drying cabin, and then jumped up and struggled desperately, destroying all the thin layer of salt that had been finally sunried.

Xu Wenlong was stunned, his eyes looked at the sea fish struggling in the salt cabin for a while, and the dolphins floating on the side of the boat and screaming, his face was full of surprise and disbelief.

Yu Wenli was crazy with joy when she saw this, and she couldn't help but pick up the kiss of the white dolphin, pouted and kissed it fiercely. Then he turned around, clapped his hands and smiled and said to Xu Wenlong: "'Pie', 'pie' is falling from the sky again!" Quick, grab it, if you don't catch it, it's going to go into someone else's mouth. ”

Xu Wenlong woke up like a dream, jumped off the oars with an arrow step, looked at the dying and struggling sea fish, copied it, firmly buckled its gill cover, and didn't care about the salt in the cabin, pulled out the dagger and dissected it on the spot.

The white dolphin was kissed a few times by Yu Wenli, and she didn't know whether she was shy or excited, so she swam around and jumped into the air directly, diving into the sea like a diver, without even splashing much.

"Good Xiaobai, good Xiaobai, you are so capable, you give me a long face!" Yu Wenli screamed and jumped, and shouted loudly at the calm sea, "Hurry up, hurry up, grab another piece of 'cake'!" Grab a huge piece of 'bread' and show the rocking captain what you're capable of. ”

Xu Wenlong smiled bitterly and continued to cut the fish quickly. It's a big fish that can't be named, and it's very ugly. The mouth is large, the body is black, and it is covered with slightly protruding "tumors". However, the meat is very good, delicate with a hint of pink, and you can't help but want to taste it when you look at it. Xu Wenlong divided the picked meat into three parts, leaving the smallest one for himself to eat, and the rest was all moved to Yu Wenli's side, and it was up to her to dispose of it. Anyway, no one can persuade her to make up her temperament, so it is better to save some tongue and energy.

Not long after, the white dolphin came out of the sea with a cry of joy, and returned with no suspense, without catching any fish, not even a small shrimp. But Yu Wenli didn't mind, softly encouraged it a few words, picked up the fish meat around her and threw it into its mouth piece by piece. While throwing it away, he is babbling and guiding it, educating it, telling it to be obedient, to come back on time every day, etc., just like training a naughty and disobedient little child.
