Ye Yaodong was relieved when he discovered that three basking sharks were following their boat. These were as docile as whale sharks, so there was no need to be afraid.
Thinking of this, he quickly ran back to the cabin to get his camera.
"Why are you going?"
Seeing him turn around and run away, Father Ye nervously called him to stop him.
The fish was really too big, one was seven or eight meters long, and its big mouth was still open. He was a little afraid that it would suddenly go crazy and attack the fishing boat.
If the boat capsized, wouldn't they have to fall into the fish's mouth if they fell into the water?
Father Ye only knew the name of the fish because he had heard of it and seen it before, but how could he know the habits of the fish? These days are not like the era of information explosion.
The size of such a big fish is enough to scare people. When I was young, I saw this fish following other fishing boats. When their fishing boats passed by, they quickly drove away when they saw it. Only later did they know the name of this fish.
Basking shark.
"Dongzi? Dongzi?"
Father Ye followed behind nervously, not knowing what he was going to do.
As a result, he entered the cabin once and came out with a camera in his hand, which instantly made him angry.
"What time has it been? If you don't hurry up and run away, why are you still taking the camera?"
"Why are you running? I'll take a photo first."
This is similar to when you spill a takeaway order and spill it on your computer. Instead of cleaning it up and wiping it off immediately, you take out your phone and take a photo first. It has the same effect.
"What photos to take?"
Father Ye was almost confused by his outrageous behavior.
"Take a photo of these basking sharks basking in the sun. Who knows if you can see them in the future? Take a photo as a souvenir."
"Crazy, such a big fish is so close, why don't you immediately think of running away and taking pictures? I'll go sail the boat."
Father Ye was speechless by his outrageous behavior and didn't want to ask him any more. He planned to sail the boat quickly, but was stopped by Ye Yaodong.
"What are you afraid of? These fish are just like whale sharks. They don't eat or bite people. They are just basking in the sun now."
Father Ye was doubtful.
"Is it true? Haven't you seen them lying motionless on the water? If you want to attack, you have already attacked. Generally, they will not attack fishing boats for no reason. Don't worry, we have never provoked them."
Thinking about it this way, it seems that from just now until now, the fishing boats have been floating there, and they have been lying motionless on them.
"I'm going to take a photo. You cook the noodles and do whatever you need to do. Don't worry about them. They'll probably float away in a while."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, it will definitely float away in a short time. Who can still follow you? You don't have any fish to feed them."
Father Ye shook his head quickly, "I definitely can't feed him."
He didn't dare to feed either.
What if they are really fed and follow them like the whale shark before?
He was so big that he was scared to death when he looked at it from a distance. Now that he was so close, it was even scarier. He just wanted to stay away as soon as possible.
It was also the first time for Ye Yaodong to see this fish. Although he knew that this fish was very docile, he was a little frightened when he saw it up close, and he was a little nervous when taking pictures.
After taking the photo, he saw their big mouth suddenly very close to him, right at hand. He was so shocked that he quickly moved away from the side of the boat, put the camera on the stool, and started sailing the boat first.
Although I believe this fish is docile and harmless, it is best to keep a distance.
Father Ye felt relieved after watching the boat start to move. He thought that if the boat started to move, the basking sharks would not be able to keep up with him, so he would just slowly keep the distance away.
Unexpectedly, when he had just finished sorting a basket of fish, he stood up, twisted his waist, and moved the goods to stack them. He turned around and saw that the basking shark behind him had also moved, swimming behind the fishing boat, and its mouth was still as big as before.
Zhang is there.
In an instant, his legs became a little weak again, and he quickly held on to the edge of the boat.
The key was the big mouth not far from the stern of the boat, which he felt could suck him in. Normal sharks were not as scary as this fish, and he had never seen it close its mouth tightly.
By comparison, the whale shark looked prettier and gentler back then, but the two didn't seem to be on the same level.
Ye Yaodong also discovered that the basking sharks lying on the sea like salted fish accelerated when he moved and followed him.
He was also a little speechless. Did Mazu add some points to him? Not only did he increase his luck, but he also increased his affinity for fish?
Everything can follow him.
Since he wanted to follow, he should follow. There was no aggressive behavior anyway. He just drove the boat and pretended he didn't see them. The propeller under the boat couldn't hit them anyway.
But while he was driving, he found another basking shark swimming towards him in front of him. He moved to the side to avoid it, only to find that four basking sharks had gathered together. After the group grew, they followed together again.
Now he was even more speechless.
After thinking about it, it was still early and they would always have to drag another net, so he had to stop directly.
Father Ye also ran over, his face full of disbelief, "Why is there another one? Run quickly, why did you stop?"
"Ignore them. They are just following us anyway and have no other actions. Let's release our fishing nets."
"Are you really not going to capsize the boat? There are so many of them, and they are so big... If the tail flicks just a few times, our boat will be in danger."
"Isn't that true? I've been following them for so long and I can't get rid of them. What can I do? I can only ignore them and see if they run away on their own later."
"What is this!"
Father Ye became agitated. It was so challenging to be followed by such a big fish.
"Go ahead and sail the boat. The boat is still sailing and no one is watching. Just let me do it here."
Ye Yaodong lowered the fishing net along the tail slide little by little, avoiding the mouth of the basking shark.
These basking sharks are all swimming on the sea surface, and the fishing nets are lowered to the bottom of the sea to trawl the middle and lower layers. If there is no conflict between the two, they will not be caught.
Father Ye watched for a while and saw that the fish just followed, so he had no choice but to sail the boat in depression, but most of his mind was on the basking shark following behind.
Ye Yaodong put down the fishing net and looked at the basking sharks behind him. He saw that although they had their mouths wide open, they were really harmless to humans and animals, so he took a closer look.
The newly added one seemed to have wounds on it, and some of its flesh had been turned out. It looked like it must have been bitten by those sea wolves just now.
It turns out that this one was alone here, and now he got rid of the sea wolf and found the main force.
When I was taking pictures in front of me, I saw that there seemed to be no wounds on Sanjou behind me. I thought most of the bites were on the abdomen, so I didn't see them.
It was also cruel enough. Such a big fish could leave such a deep wound. It even hurt him just looking at it.
After putting down all the fishing nets, he did not leave, still leaning against the side of the boat and watching.
If he wasn't really afraid of them following him, he really wanted to pour a basket of fish into their mouths, and then ask his dad to take a picture of him...
When the photos are developed, everyone will be shocked, but his father will definitely not be happy.
Forget it, I’ve already fed whale sharks anyway, so it’s good to have the experience.
Men are not as obsessed with taking pictures as women, it’s good to experience it.
Father Ye deliberately wanted to get rid of these big fish and drove the boat a little faster than normal operations, but these basking sharks kept following him. Even though he kept going in circles, they persisted.
Not to mention Father Ye, Ye Yaodong was a little doubtful whether they had bad eyesight or a bad sense of direction.
The fishing boat has been working, and the basking sharks have been following behind. After following for a long time, Father Ye calmed down and slowed down to operate normally.
Since they can't get rid of it, they can only do this first. Anyway, they will go home directly after collecting the net. By then, they will not be able to reach the coast, so they will naturally leave.
But when Father Ye checked the time and planned to set up the net early and go back, he found that there were many bulges in the distance, slowly drifting towards them.
When the net was being set up, the fishing boat could not stop and was still moving forward at a constant speed. Father Ye could only shout loudly to Ye Yaodong: "Dongzi, what do you see over there?"
Ye Yaodong also looked around with half-squinted eyes, and what he saw was not very clear. When I waited for him to look at the distance and then look closer, he found that the bulges on the sea surface were somewhat similar to the basking sharks behind him...
His heart skipped a beat, and he glanced back and forth with his eyes, sometimes looking at the near distance, sometimes at the far distance, comparing...
Then he walked towards his father uncertainly and said, "Dad, do you think those moving bulges on the sea in the distance look a bit like the basking sharks following us?"
"ah?!"
Father Ye's pupils tightened, and his heart suddenly lifted. He took a closer look and found that it really looked like it.
"Isn't it? So many basking sharks are coming towards us, aren't they going to surround us? What should we do?"
“Cold salad!”
Ye's father kicked him directly. Ye Yaodong was caught off guard and was kicked directly.
"What are you talking about? Let me tell you seriously."
"No, I'm serious. They are all coming towards us. What can we do? Hurry up, speed up the net, and change the direction of the boat to see if it helps?"
After all, when they sail now, they sail with the wind and the current. If they go against the wind and the current, I don't know if it will be of some use to let them change the direction.
But it looks a bit difficult. After all, there are four followers hanging behind them. These basking sharks live in groups. There is no reason for them to meet the same kind and not get together.
It feels like they were accidentally dispersed, otherwise there wouldn't be one now, three now, and another group now.
Father Ye heard his reminder and wanted to try it first, "I'll change the direction, and you can speed up the speed of closing the net."
Needless to say, Ye Yaodong had already taken the initiative to speed up and close the net.
No matter what changes happen, at least the fishing nets should be put up first.
However, it felt like the effect was subtle. Even if the fishing boat changed its direction, the bulges still swam towards them.
