"Hahaha...... Hahaha......" Captain Akon couldn't help but laugh out loud, almost laughing until his stomach hurt.

On a small wooden sailboat built by Du's father, the captain and Kiki took on the form of a terrestrial human, wearing a windbreaker and driving a small sailboat to ride the wind on the sea. Because the season is suitable, the direction of the place where the two of them are going is smooth, and the journey is relatively smooth.

"Uncle Akang, don't laugh." Kiki dissuaded: "You've been laughing for most of the day. Let Father Du know that the boat he built is used by you to laugh at him, and he will be unhappy. ”

"Hahaha......" The captain laughed breathlessly: "I don't want to laugh either, but it's so funny." The ship built by Du's father was named the Little Swan, but the goose head carved from the bow of the ship was more like a duck. What's even more interesting is that as soon as the boat rocks, the planks will make a 'quack!' Rattle! 'voice. It's amazing to be able to build a ship like this! ”

"Quack! Rattle! Then the planks rang again, and the captain almost fell into the sea outside the boat with laughter.

"We are on the run, and it is already a great favor to be able to get a small boat lent by Father Du, how can we laugh at the wooden boat he built himself?"

The captain originally seemed to have a big mouth, but when he laughed out loud, his mouth became even bigger, like a flower pot full of teeth.

"Uh-huh, well-off, well-off!" The captain covered his mouth with his hand and said with a smiling face, "I endure, I endure......" Despite this, tears were squeezed out of laughter.

"Old man Du can build ships on the bottom of the sea, and he should also be a very capable person. In fact, this ship does look like a swan with wings spread. Kiki exclaimed.

The rising sun shines on the shadow of the Little Swan on the sea, like a swan dancing only on the sea. Spread your wings and embrace the new day, but also embrace this simple world made of sea and sky. If people in the world are not overly obsessed with controlling their aesthetic sense, how much difference is there between a duck and a swan? If there are many pure differences, is it because people are too complex in their hearts?

The boat rattled and rattled again, but Captain Akon stopped laughing, for he was used to it. Whether a thing is funny or not, the same person will have different reactions at different times: at first I think it's funny, but when I get used to it, my consciousness changes, and then I don't think it's funny. Things haven't changed before and after, but people's attitudes have changed. In a sense, it is the subjective reaction of the human being that comes into play.

The waves gently rocked the boat, like a loving mother rocking the cradle of her sleeping baby lying inside. Let the captain and Kiki have a rare moment to blow the sea breeze, look at the sea view, count the leisurely clouds in the sky, and sing the love song of the sea in their hearts. But good times are often fleeting.

"Attention, there is a situation!" The captain seemed to hear a voice coming from the water: "Kiki, put a trench coat and hat on your head to cover your face." ”

"Whoa!" Before Kiki could react, a column of water shot out from the sea about a kilometer behind the boat, shot into the air and spread out in mid-air to form a fountain landscape. White water splashes scattered in all directions and made a "bang-la-la" sound.

"Oops! It is a whale which gets up in the morning to breathe. The captain vigilantly pulled down his trench coat and hat and lay down on the board, and motioned to Kiki to hide: "The appearance of this whale shows that there are at least dozens of whales nearby." Because whales rarely move alone, it depends on what kind of whale it is. ”

I saw a wide tail on the surface of the water in that place, and it was indeed a whale, and it was a large white whale.

"If it weren't for this particular situation, Kiki, you might have enjoyed listening to the Great White Whale sing." The captain looked in that direction and said to Kiki.

"Why?" Kiki asked.

"Because the great white whale is known as the canary of the ocean, it is a sea creature that loves to sing. They compose tunes and change songs every once in a while. ”

"They're so smart!" Kiki sighed.

As he was looking, a huge whale sprang out from the bottom of the sea closer to the boat. Huge fins swing in the air, splashing all around. Then he hammered into the sea and blew up a huge wave, and the scene was very spectacular.

"This is a sperm whale," the captain explained, "and it produces a spice called ambergris, which is considered a treasure by terrestrial humans. However, this whale has a strong attack ability, and can emit a strong ultrasonic wave through its head to stun the huge king squid and eat it in one bite, and we may not be good when we encounter it. ”

"What are they doing jumping on the water?" Kiki asked.

"In layman's terms, it can be called a bath." The captain added: "With the hydro-powered flapping of the skin, it is possible to knock down the parasites that live on their skin, mussels and bonito. ”

"Our boat and sails are painted the color of the sea, so they shouldn't be spotted so quickly, right?"

"Maybe, maybe we should pray." The captain replied.

Unfortunately, the smooth sailing did not last long, and the waves came and shook the poor little swan, making a rattling sound. The sound would inevitably cause trouble, and in desperation, the captain used a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of seawater and sprinkle it on the noisy plank, hoping that the sound would be quieter. When he hit the water again, he suddenly saw a huge shadow in the water under the boat, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hand and whispered: "Kiki is holding on, there is a whale below!" ”

Everything was so sudden, and the whale under the boat leaped out of the water not far from the bow of the boat. A wave of water shook the wooden boat back and forth, causing both men on board to watch a huge whale bomb fall from the sky with their frightened eyes.

The two who had planned to pray suddenly found that there was no time to pray. Surprise, astonishment, exclamation, and bewilderment intertwine to make the nervous response like a knot, ready to meet the "meat bullet" that falls from the sky.

Perhaps providence made people, and the giant whale's flipped body turned away at an angle as it fell, just staggering the small sailboat. Let it squeeze out of the water along the side of the whale's body and next to a large pectoral fin. It's just that a sudden wave almost didn't overturn the ship. By the time the whale dived into the water, the two men in the boat were already soaked by the splashing waves.

"Oh my god!" The captain shook the water on his face and smiled bitterly: "It's really scary to greet giant whales like this on the sea." ”

Before the boat could stop steadily, Kiki noticed movement behind her: "Captain Akang, they must have spotted us, look ahead!" ”

Following Kiki's direction, a surging and dancing wave appeared not far in front of the boat. The real trouble just began, as a large pod of whales appeared ahead.

"Kiki, turn on your brain compass to sense and note the direction we've been heading. We'll have to take a detour to avoid their tracking. As he spoke, the captain reached out and twisted the wheels of the ship, pulling the sails at an angle, and then turning the rudder to change course. If you don't do this, you will collide with the whales in front of you, so you have to jump out of the encirclement first and then make plans.

The Cygwan's changed course kept the captain's heart hanging, and he wasn't sure if the whale had actually spotted the Cygnus. Could the faceless appearance of their trench coats make them think they are terrestrial ships, rather than merfolk running away from Acanterro's pursuit? All he could do was adjust the sails and let the borrowed sea breeze push the boat faster.

All Kiki could do was pray silently. But she also didn't quite believe it, did prayer work? The more you do this psychologically self-soothing practice, the more frightening it feels.

A sperm whale jumped out of the sea at the stern of the boat, and although it was a certain distance from the boat, the waves that were stirred up during the descent rushed to the Little Swan, directly breaking the mast of the sail. The ship tilted, wrestling in the sea with the sound of a crunching mast breaking, and the waves crashed heavily against the two men.

"Kiki, paddle with an oar!" The captain shook his body and crawled up: "That whale's eyes are red, this is a red flag for us. ”

The mast of the Cygnus swan broke, and the sail was out of service. It's like a swan with broken wings that can't "fly", so it can only wave its wooden oars and row hard to get out of the encirclement. Despite the desperate swing of the oars by both men, the whale kept chasing and the danger loomed.

I don't know how long I rowed, but I still felt that the whales behind me were reluctant to follow.

"Uncle Akang!" Kiki asked, gasping.

"What's the matter?"

"I thought that the trick of 'smuggling' would not attract the attention and discovery of whales, but now it seems that it will not work."

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"Let's change back to mermaid form and abandon the ship, then we can swim faster."

"No, it's not just whales that can catch us, maybe sharks and swordfish and so on."

"But Captain, it's like a landlubber, it's too slow."

"Don't worry...... "Don't worry," the captain said, looking back, "Huh! They don't chase anymore. ”
