Sihwa's singing was at a low frequency that the human ear could not hear. Maybe cats and dogs could hear it, but only the whales and herself could understand the specific content. At the same time, because the transmission rate of low-frequency sound waves was very low, a short human sentence often had to be sung for a long time using low-frequency sound waves.
During the recording, her singing was to let the whales in Northeast Asia come to the outer sea of Binhai City to seek refuge. Just this sentence, she sang for three or four minutes before finishing.
Other than Sihwa, no one could understand the language of whales. Even scientists could not understand whale grammar and pronunciation.
Zhang Zian was a little suspicious that the wording in Sihwa's singing might not be strict enough, causing some whales to misunderstand and swim into the dangerous shallow sea.
At first, Sihwa did not understand what he meant, but after a moment, she understood. Her face immediately turned red with anger.
"You … You stingy bastard, what nonsense are you talking about! I won't make a mistake! Don't compare me to those stupid cats and dogs! "she said arrogantly.
"Well, what are you angry about? I was just confirming … Besides, you don't have the right to say that others are stupid, do you? " Zhang Zian also knew that it was not good to question others without evidence, but he had no other choice.
"Anyway, I'm not wrong!" Sihwa gritted her teeth and hugged her chest.
Zhang Zian had no choice but to apologize. "Okay, I'm sorry. I misunderstood … Then can you help me record another voice? The general idea is: If you are injured or sick, this person is here to help you. Don't hurt him."
"Injured? That whale is injured? "Her heart tightened, and she looked up to ask.
"I'm not sure yet, so I have to take a boat to observe it closely," he said.
She was still angry. "Whales don't hurt people. Even if I don't say it, it doesn't matter, right?"
Zhang Zian explained, "That's not necessarily true. If it is really injured, and it was hurt by humans, then it is likely that it will hate humans. Whales are short-sighted, and they can't tell the difference between humans from a distance. It is very likely that before I get close to it, I will be capsized by it … "
"Hurt by humans?" She immediately thought the wrong way, and her almond-shaped eyes widened in anger. "You clearly said that Chinese people don't hurt whales, so I called them here! You deliberately lied to me, didn't you? You cheapskate! "
"Indeed, they weren't hurt by the Chinese. What I mean is, they might have heard your song and swam to China from other places with injuries … Wait a minute."
Zhang Zian motioned for her to calm down. He walked out of the bathroom and took a long object wrapped in plastic from the outside. He placed it next to the bathtub and opened it.
"What do you think this is?"
Wrapped in plastic was the half of a harpoon that he had picked up from the beach. The rusty metal looked darker red after being soaked in blood. The wooden handle was uneven, and the handle itself was old from years of use.
People might mistake this bloody thing as a murder weapon. In the current situation of maintaining stability, it would be troublesome if he was asked to serve tea by the police. It might also scare the customers in the shop, so he wrapped it in plastic.
Sihwa stared at the harpoon, curiously sizing it up from left to right. She didn't know what it was, but a faint smell of blood floated into her nose, causing her to feel nauseous. A bad premonition arose in her heart.
She stretched out her white and soft fingers and rubbed the surface of the harpoon, which was covered in rust. She felt the sharp curve, and finally closed it to the sharp tip.
"Ah!"
Her fingers had only gently rubbed the tip of the harpoon, and it had already been pierced. Although the naked eye couldn't see any wound, a drop of blood oozed out and dripped into the bathtub. It swirled and spread, creating a beautiful outline like a cherry blossom.
Even a baby's fingers weren't this delicate.
"What is this?" she asked as she retracted her hand.
Zhang Zian replied, "This is a harpoon."
She couldn't understand what it was used for just by hearing the name. He held the remaining wooden handle of the harpoon, raised it high above his shoulder, and mimicked the posture of throwing a javelin. Although he didn't know if throwing a harpoon was similar to this, it was always okay to fool her. It was impossible for her to point out his mistakes and slap him in the face.
"When you see a whale come out of the water, throw the harpoon like this. Do you see the barbs? Once the harpoon stabs into the whale's body, it basically won't fall off. The barbs will hook onto the whale's flesh, causing them great pain. This harpoon isn't complete. There should have been another section, but the end is tied to a rope, and the rope is tied to the boat. After the whale is stabbed, it's hard for it to escape. Under the severe pain, they will use all their strength to drag the boat and swim together. However, the more they do this, the faster they lose blood. Eventually, their strength will be exhausted, and they will be paralyzed on the surface of the sea. They will be dragged onto the whaling ship and cut into pieces … "
"Judging by the size of this harpoon, it's used to kill small whales. Its owner might not be driving a professional whaling ship, but just a normal fishing boat. That person also didn't make a living by whaling, but was just an ordinary fisherman. However, he would always keep a harpoon in the cabin. Once he encountered a small whale, he would pick up the harpoon and earn a lot of extra money. A real professional whaling ship would use a harpoon cannon that was a few times bigger and more powerful. After hitting a whale, it could even pierce through the whale … "
"This harpoon was found on a minke whale two days ago. It was very lucky. Maybe it was because it struggled too much after being hit by the harpoon, or maybe the inside of the wooden handle had rotted after being used for a long time. In short, the harpoon broke in the middle. On the other hand, you can also see how strong the barbs were. Even if the wooden handle broke, it wouldn't fall off. "
"It heard your song, and with the harpoon in its body, it endured the pain and swam all the way to Binhai City from a very far place. In the end, it couldn't tell the direction due to the severe pain, so it rushed onto the beach and got stranded. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it was eventually rescued. However, it was left with a very ugly stitched wound. "
These were all Zhang Zian's speculations. Although they weren't accurate, they weren't too far off.
He explained it very vividly. Even though Sihwa had never seen the scene of whaling before, she couldn't help but see the bloody scenes in front of her eyes.
She was frightened as she listened. She hugged her body tightly in the bathtub as if she was very cold. She realized that she was shivering.
"Who … Who was it? Who did such a cruel thing? "She asked, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to come out of her eyes.
Zhang Zian put the harpoon back on the edge of the bathtub, turned it over, and pointed at the surname engraved on the harpoon for her to see.
