Head down and tail down, Sihwa plunged into the water. Her wide caudal fin shone brightly in the sunlight.
She opened her eyes underwater, opened her mouth, and sang whale songs to her heart's content. A string of bubbles floated from the corner of her mouth to the surface of the sea and burst.
The warm sun made people sleepy.
Vladimir barely slept the night before, and it had woken up early this morning. It lacked sleep. After enjoying the scenery of the sea, it lay down at the bottom of the boat and slept under the sun.
After a while, there was a splashing sound on the surface of the sea, and a majestic column of water suddenly sprayed out. It rose nearly ten meters into the air, and then fell back into the sea like a waterfall.
A wide greenish-gray back separated the seawater and emerged from the surface of the sea, like an island rising out of thin air.
Needless to say, 52 Hertz had heard Sihwa's call and swam over at its fastest speed.
Sihwa happily climbed onto its back, but it was not easy to stabilize her body, so she grabbed onto its pectoral fins and let it take her around at a very fast speed. For a giant creature like 52 Hertz, Sihwa's existence was like a shell attached to its body.
Zhang Zian was also a little sleepy. The cell phone signal was not good here, and the internet was intermittent. He could barely check QQ and WeChat, and pictures often did not appear. He could forget about other internet applications.
He leaned against the side of the boat and rested his chin on his hand. He watched Sihwa and 52 Hertz play for a while, then yawned and looked around with his binoculars.
As far as his eyes could see, the waves were calm. The situation that he was worried about someone coming over by boat did not happen. If someone witnessed a mermaid playing with a giant whale, it would not be easy to explain. Perhaps he could explain it as a girl who was interested in performing as a mermaid in the ocean world and was diligently practicing?
Not long after, the mother and son minke whales and the male whale also came and intimately brushed past the assault boat. Sometimes they swam so close that they even touched the assault boat, causing it to sway slightly from side to side. However, it did not affect Vladimir's sleep. It just turned over and continued to sleep.
After about an hour, the sun rose higher and higher. Vladimir turned over and woke up. It rubbed its eyes and asked, "What time is it?"
Zhang Zian looked at the time. "It's only a little past nine, not even ten. You can sleep a little longer."
They came out early in the morning. Although they had played for a long time, it was still early.
It shook its head. "I don't want to sleep anymore. If I sleep too much, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Zhang Zian cupped his hand around his mouth and raised his voice. "Sihwa! Are you done playing? "
Sihwa had been laughing on the other side the whole time. He only heard her after shouting a few times. Maybe she was pretending not to hear it.
"What time is it? It wasn't easy for me to leave this shabby dwelling, I still want to play a little longer! "She said angrily.
Zhang Zian agreed. "Okay, let's play for another half an hour, then we'll go back."
"Tsk! Cheapskate! "
She made a face and continued to play with 52 Hertz.
After another half an hour or so, Zhang Zian repeatedly urged her and promised to bring her here often in the future. Only then did she reluctantly say goodbye to 52 Hertz.
After watching 52 Hertz and the three minke whales leave, she swam back to the assault boat. "Seriously! You don't even let me enjoy myself to the fullest when I come out to play! "
"Hey!" She angrily used both her hands to support herself on the side of the boat. With a push, her entire upper body and a section of her fishtail came out of the water, as if she was going to flip into the boat.
The assault boat tilted and almost lost its balance because of her weight. Zhang Zian was so scared that he quickly moved his body to the other side so that the assault boat could regain its balance.
"Haha! Look at how scared you are! "Sihwa pointed at him and laughed. Her hands loosened, and her body fell back into the sea.
"You can't stop playing. No matter how much time you have, it won't be enough." Zhang Zian picked up his phone and urged her. "Stop fooling around. I'll put you back into my phone."
Sihwa seemed to have discovered something. She curiously sniffed her small and tall nose and turned her head to look in the direction of the shore. "What's that smell?"
"What smell? The smell of the sea, "Zhang Zian said casually.
Sihwa shook her head seriously and covered her nose. "No, it's not the smell of the sea. It's like … a very disgusting smell."
A very disgusting smell?
Fortunately, she didn't look at him. Otherwise, he would have thought that she was implying that he was disgusting.
"Why don't I smell anything?" He tried to take a few deep breaths, but he didn't find the disgusting smell that she had mentioned.
Sihwa glared at him. "Because your nose is ugly and doesn't work!"
He picked up his binoculars and glanced in the direction of the shore.
The wind today was from the west, blowing from the shore into the sea.
Maybe the property management in one of the residential areas in the city had gone on strike, and the wind had blown the smell of accumulated household garbage over? But there didn't seem to be any residential areas nearby. How strong must the smell be for it to blow so far?
It was precisely because the wind was blowing from the west that the wind had unknowingly blown the assault boat deeper into the sea. It was even further from the shore than where he had stopped the boat when he had come. Now, even with the binoculars, he could barely see the shore.
After looking for a while, he didn't see anything.
He wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to go back, because he now had a better grasp of the battery's power. He was confident that he could return to the shore before the battery was completely exhausted. The worst case scenario would be just a few strokes of the oars.
"You really smelled it?" He put down the binoculars and confirmed with Sihwa. He wondered if she had said that on purpose to play a little longer.
"I definitely smelled it! Don't think that I'm a stinky man who talks all day long like you! "Sihwa pinched her nose. It didn't seem like she was lying. Her acting skills weren't that good.
Zhang Zian was speechless. Do your ears have to be so sensitive?
"Vladimir, do you smell anything?" He asked Vladimir again to confirm.
It shook its head. "No."
Sihwa put her nose close to the surface of the sea and suddenly said in realization, "It's the sea! The smell is from the sea. It's much stronger than the air! "
Zhang Zian was even more speechless because he didn't have the ability to smell from the sea, and neither could Vladimir.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You can't even tell what the smell is, and you don't know where the smell is coming from. The coastline is so big, and there's no way to find it even if you want to … I guess someone secretly dumped some domestic sewage or industrial waste into the sea. This is immoral, but it's hard to find who did it. I think we should go back first."
Sihwa pouted in disappointment.
Vladimir raised his head and stared at the sky with narrowed eyes.
"Actually, it's not difficult to find it," it said.
Zhang Zian was very surprised. It obviously couldn't smell that kind of smell, so why was it so sure that it could find it?
"How do we find it?" he asked.
It raised a front paw and pointed to the sky. "Look at those seabirds in the sky. They seem to be gathering in the same direction."
