Not only did we see three little turtles personally raised by the Friendship Association, but we also saw a dolphin shark that could hold up an umbrella. It was a perfect day! This is how the photographer commented on today, and he was already thinking about taking a screenshot and posting it on Weibo after returning home. Although the video was of Jing Ling, he had obtained her consent at the beginning of the contract, and could post the photo on social platforms without revealing any information or using it for commercial purposes.
It is only 2:30 in the afternoon, but the photographer feels that today has been a success, and the rest of the time is to enjoy the sea scenery, the sea breeze blowing in the face, listening to songs and humming little tunes.
He told this idea to Chen Ze, who took off his sunglasses and rolled his eyes at him, "You think too much. You thought everything would be fine today, but what happened? Turtles and sharks appeared one after another. Who knows what else you'll have to shoot next."
The photographer was very confident, "It's good enough to encounter this kind of thing once or twice, how can I be so lucky to have it happen three times!"
Soon after that, he was slapped in the face, with loud slapping sounds, first on the left side and then on the right side. He and Chen Ze squatted under the parasol, one wearing sunglasses and not sure whether he was sleeping or in a daze, while the other held a device and played the video he had shot back and forth, without interfering with each other. And Jing Ling, holding the umbrella that was pushed back by the shark, just sat on the ladder, not afraid of being thrown off by the shaking of the boat due to wind and waves.
At that time, he was watching the clip of the shark returning the umbrella. Although he had seen it with his own eyes before, when he replayed it again, he still couldn't help but marvel at it. There is a reason why the older generation often says that all things have spirits.
Suddenly, Jing Ling shouted, "Look over there."
The photographer was quite professional. When he heard the sound, he subconsciously turned his head to look, and at the same time, he did not drop the equipment in his hand. A column of water spurted out from the sea surface a few dozen meters ahead where Jing Ling was pointing. He was stunned for a long time before he realized what it was. Not only his hands, but even his voice was trembling slightly with excitement. "Is that... a whale?! Oh my god, I actually encountered a whale at sea!!!"
He was so excited that he shouted and jumped, and the boat swayed slightly because of his movements.
The boat owner, who had been sleeping, woke up now, rushed out with his smart phone, and started recording video in the distance. It doesn’t matter if the pixels are too poor, the distance is too far, or if there is only a blurry image, as long as he knows what it is! While taking photos, he said excitedly, "I didn't expect to see whales in this area. I've been traveling in this area for more than a year, and this is the first time I've seen one!"
The sea area they came out of is still a shallow sea area, and fishermen often fish here. In areas like this where there is heavy human activity, there are very few large marine species.
Jing Ling stood up and walked onto the deck. With his good eyesight, he realized that something was wrong. Shen Ze also noticed it, because he had a high-definition telescope at hand. When he heard the shouting just now, he turned over, took off his sunglasses, picked up the telescope, and looked over.
"Seems to be trapped?" he said uncertainly.
"Not sure, let's move the boat closer and take a look." Jing Ling replied, "Put on your life jackets first, just in case." Although the whale's body was submerged in the water and could not be seen clearly, based on the outline seen so far, it must be at least ten meters long. Such a behemoth could easily send their small boat to meet God.
The boat owner reluctantly put away his phone and went back to drive the boat. After drifting with the current for several hours, the boat finally started again and slowly headed towards the whale several dozen meters away. Finally, the boat stopped about ten meters away, which still sounded very far away, but compared to its huge body, it was already close.
From a distance I could only see streams of water gushing into the sky and a body looming on the water. Now that I was closer, I realized that this guy was really incredibly large, with a body estimated to be nearly 15 meters long. He was entangled in a fishing net, unable to move. There were visible scars on his back, and his skin and flesh were rolled up, which was shocking.
The photographer subconsciously looked at Jing Ling and asked, "How... to save him?" He had thought that sharks were dangerous enough before, but compared to the whale in front of him, they were a little inferior. If this big guy swung its tail, he might be seriously injured.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ze rolled his eyes at him unhappily, "What are you thinking? Of course I'll call the local government. Do you think Jing Ling is a god who can handle this problem alone?"
We asked the boat owner to call the local fishery department. After receiving the report and asking about the relevant situation, they immediately sent a law enforcement ship to rescue.
While waiting for rescue, Jing Ling asked the boat owner to try to drive the boat closer, little by little, and finally stop at its stern. Jing Ling stood on the ladder and reached out to touch its body, as if to comfort it, but also as a test. I don’t know if it was because its body was trapped and unable to move, or because it felt the kindness, but it didn’t react much.
Jing Ling felt relieved a little, pulled out the knife from his waist, and cleaned the fishing net on its tail.
Jiang Heng is a reporter for Zhucheng Daily. He signed a two-year contract, which will expire at the end of this year. Maybe he was too unlucky. He worked in the newspaper for two years, running around in wind and rain to report news, but it was basically some trivial matters about other people's affairs, such as whose house was leaking and the property management didn't care, or whose cats and dogs were trapped. He spent a lot of effort to run over, but in the end it was all useless. After all, it is the boss of Zhucheng's print media. It is impossible for it to put every trivial matter on the page. However, apart from these, he basically didn't get the chance to interview any major news. Either he didn't get the chance, or he happened to miss it because of other things.
It has been hinted above that he can just leave when his contract expires. He himself was also considering whether he was suitable for this line of work.
It's a new day. After the routine clocking in, I sit in the office, waiting for the call. The morning passed, and although his phone rang a few times, they were all trivial matters and not worth interviewing. After breakfast, everyone went off work for lunch, but he did not give up and stayed at his post. As a result, after noon, the phone strangely didn't ring once. He continued working in the afternoon. While others were talking and laughing, he sat there listlessly, looking like he might fall asleep at any moment.
It was almost three o'clock, and I couldn't hold it in any longer so I went to the bathroom. When I came back, I saw my colleague standing next to him answering the phone. "There's a fire in Mingzhu Community, and children are trapped at home? Okay, I'll be there right away. Can you please tell me which building it is..."
Jiang Heng stood at the door, accepting the sympathetic or connotative looks of his colleagues. He felt extremely tired for a moment, but he had to pretend that nothing was wrong. He walked over with a forced smile and watched his colleague hang up the phone, take his stuff and leave in a hurry, running past him as if bringing a gust of wind.
He returned to his seat numbly, thinking that it was unheard of for him to be so unlucky.
At this moment, the cell phone in the bag suddenly vibrated. He was startled and quickly took out his cell phone, but after seeing the name of the caller, he was like a deflated ball. Huang Ziqi, strictly speaking, didn't know this person at all. The reason he knew the number was because he accidentally helped the other person and recovered the wallet that was stolen by a thief. This girl is two years younger than him and seems to work in a government department.
"Hello!" He answered the phone.
A girl's voice came from the other end, "Is this Jiang Heng? I'm Huang Ziqi. I heard you say you were a reporter before. I just received a report from a fisherman saying that a whale was found trapped in the waters of Zhucheng. Our fishery administration ship is going there. Do you want to come with us?"
"Ah?...Oh, yes, yes, yes! Wait a minute, I'll be there soon!" He was stunned for a moment before he reacted. His body jumped up from the chair in an instant, grabbed the equipment and ran out.
His parents are well-known in the community for their good relationships and eagerness to help others. The sign of a civilized home selected by the community is still hanging on the wall. Influenced by his elders, he would lend a helping hand whenever he saw people in need since he was a child. Even after growing up and witnessing the indifference of society, he still did what he could. It's not that I'm seeking any reward, it's just that this has become a habit, ingrained in my bones.
This was the first time in his two years at the job that he felt good people would be rewarded.
In the past two years, with the government's calls and vigorous publicity, people have become increasingly concerned about animal protection. Although a trapped whale is not big news, at least it can be reported and occupy a small space on the page.
Jiang Heng hurried to the port, found Huang Ziqi, and followed their fishery department's boat out to sea to rescue the trapped whale.
When the boat arrived at the nearby sea area, we could see from afar a column of water gushing out from the sea from time to time. The water mist formed a rainbow under the sunlight, which was fleeting. When you get closer, you can see a small boat not far from the water column. It should be the fishing boat that discovered the whale and reported it. However, the boat did not look like a proper fishing boat. After all, which fishing boat would have a large parasol on the deck with a person in colorful beachwear standing on it? When you get closer, you can see another person beside the boat, also holding a camera.
Jiang Heng felt a little nervous, thinking that a colleague had arrived ahead of him. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. There was only one fishing boat nearby, and it reported the incident to the fishery department immediately after discovering the whale. Huang Ziqi thought of him after receiving the call. He came with the fishery administration's boat, and there were no extra boats, so it was impossible for anyone to arrive before him unless the other person was on the boat from the beginning. But then again, which reporter is so idle as to go to the sea to look for news?
The fishery officials came closer to ask about the situation. The other party simply replied, "...We felt that just waiting like this was not a solution, so we tried to see if we could untie the fishing net on the whale's tail first. Unexpectedly, it cooperated so well and has almost been cleaned up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the water, grabbed the side of the boat on the opposite side, and then a tattered fishing net was thrown onto the boat. It turned out that there was another person, but he was blocked by the fishing boat.
Jiang Heng quickly realized that the camera of the photographer opposite seemed to be taking pictures of that person. He also subconsciously raised the device and pointed it over there.
Under the bright sunshine, a tall and upright figure walked up the ladder from the water to the boat. Against the light, the sunlight cast a golden frame on his body. His slightly long hair was slightly messy and stuck to his head, with water dripping down. His side profile was almost perfect, which made people subconsciously think of the beautiful boy in the comics. He was wearing a tight-fitting long gown that was soaked and stuck to his body, revealing his muscular outlines clearly. He also wore an orange life vest, and held a knife in one hand and a fishing net in the other. His image was incongruous, yet surprisingly harmonious, and it was hard to take your eyes off him.
Jiang Heng was lost in thought when he suddenly felt someone tugging at his clothes. Turning around, he saw it was Huang Ziqi. "What's wrong?" he asked.
Huang Ziqi didn't even look at him, but looked across at him with a look of surprise and disbelief on her face, "Am I dazzled? I can actually see my idol on the sea during a rescue mission! No, I must buy lottery tickets when I get back! You can buy one too, I'm really lucky today!"
"...What do you mean?" Jiang Heng didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
Huang Ziqi explained to him, "The man who just came out of the water is my idol Jing Ling, a popular star!"
Jiang Heng was not stupid. Once the key point was pointed out, he understood it immediately. Although the trapped whale is also news, the attention it receives is limited. However, it is different when celebrities are involved in this matter. And it is not just a simple participation. It can be said that they discovered the trapped whale, reported the case, and then personally went into the water to rescue it. The attention has increased all of a sudden!
