After exercising, I fall asleep quickly; I was snoring softly within two minutes.
At this moment, Ye Qingling had not yet finished cleaning himself, and seeing this made her want to slap him.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight.
However, it didn't wake up naturally; it was woken up by the urge to urinate.
Seeing that it was already dawn, he simply got up.
After getting dressed and quickly washing up, he walked out with his hands behind his back.
"You're going out right after you got up? Aren't you going to eat?"
Ye Qingling called out to him.
"The meal won't be ready so soon, we can eat when we get back. I'll go to the pier first and see if that whale shark has returned to the sea."
“Take Anan with you; he's been clamoring to see the big fish since last night.”
Feng Xinan, who was standing next to Ye Qingling, immediately ran to his feet and stretched out her hands: "Daddy, hug me, Nannan wants to see the big fish."
"Okay, Daddy will take you to see the big fish."
Feng Ye picked him up and carried him out of the courtyard.
Feng Xinan exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go see the big fish..."
Hearing the noise, Feng Xidong ran out: "Uncle, I want to go too."
No sooner had the words left her lips than a figure burst out of the kitchen, roaring, "Where are you going? Don't you want to go to school? Instead of studying properly, all you think about is playing all day long..."
Feng Ye looked at him and smiled, "Are you still going?"
"I'm not going."
Feng Xidong shrank back in fear, and could only watch with envy as his cousin was carried further and further away.
It was early morning, and there weren't many people at the dock yet.
Those who were going out to sea all went out in the early hours of the morning.
The small wooden boats that set nets along the coast don't go out this early; they usually go out to collect and release the nets after breakfast.
Moreover, jellyfish usually don't surface in the morning; they usually don't surface until around 8 or 9 a.m.
Therefore, the dock was empty at this moment, with hardly anyone in sight.
It's not even seven o'clock yet, and the tide is still rising.
If it goes up to full, it will probably take another hour or so, around 8:30 or 9:00.
Then maintain this state for about an hour before the tide recedes.
After 3:30 p.m., the tide came in again.
Whale sharks are just a short distance outside the pier, and they are much easier to see during the day.
Even though the tide is high now, it is still very eye-catching and conspicuous.
Its massive back was completely exposed above the water's surface, with only its pectoral fins and below submerged.
"Nan Nan, that's the big fish, do you see it?"
Feng Xinan clapped her hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Nannan saw it! What a big fish..."
"How about Daddy takes you by boat to see the big fish?"
"Oh no, it's so big! It'll eat Nan Nan up! I'm so scared..."
"Don't worry, it won't eat Nan Nan."
Really?
"Really, if it dares to eat Nan Nan, Daddy will beat it."
"Daddy's lying, it's so big, Daddy can't beat it..."
"We can beat them."
"Father can't beat him, he can't beat him..."
Feng Ye carried Feng Xinan onto the boat first, then got off the boat again to untie the mooring ropes. Just as he was about to use a bamboo pole to push the boat away from the dock, he heard A-Can's voice coming from the shore.
"Brother Ye, wait for me."
Feng Ye looked up and saw A-Can running towards him from a distance.
Once Ah-Can boarded the boat, Feng Ye, while rowing, asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. I was thinking about this whale shark as soon as I woke up, so I rushed over. I didn't expect you to be here before me, and you even brought your son."
Ah-chan was out of breath from running and kept panting heavily.
“I came here as soon as I woke up. Anan was clamoring to see the big fish last night, so I brought him here.”
"I'll go start the boat."
"No need, I'll drive. You're panting like that, you should sit down and rest for a bit, and while you're at it, keep an eye on my son."
"Oh well."
After the Rising Sun was pushed a short distance from the dock, Feng Ye went to the wheelhouse, started the engine, and steered the ship toward the whale shark.
As they got closer, the whale shark's full appearance was revealed.
Feng Xinan, leaning on the bow of the boat, exclaimed in amazement, her eyes wide open: "Wow, what a huge fish..."
Feng Ye and A-Can had seen this behemoth before, but they were still amazed by it.
Up close, you can clearly see the whale shark opening and closing its mouth, constantly sucking in seawater.
Moreover, its tail would occasionally sway, splashing water.
Its pectoral fins kept slapping against the water's surface.
Clearly, this triggered its instinct to save itself, trying to get as wet as possible.
Fortunately, it's early morning, and although the sun is out, it's not very hot, so it won't dehydrate the food too quickly.
By the time the sun's temperature rises and the sun is blazing, the tide will have risen quite high.
At that time, it might be able to be completely submerged in water, or even swim back to the sea.
Even in a less favorable situation, at least the exposed parts of the body won't be as much, allowing more of them to be submerged in seawater and slowing down the dehydration process.
As the Rising Sun approached, the whale shark seemed to recognize them, increasing the frequency of its tail swaying and the frequency of its pectoral fins slapping the water.
This caused water to splash everywhere, creating waves.
It's unclear whether the whale shark was welcoming them or pleading for help.
"Sigh, they look kind of pitiful," Ah-Can sighed.
Feng Ye nodded: "A little."
"Should we help it?" Ah-Can asked tentatively.
"what to do?"
"Tow it back to the sea with a boat."
"It's too big, probably weighing over ten tons, the Rising Sun might not be able to tow it."
"Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."
"Let's wait and see. Maybe it will be able to get out of trouble on its own when the tide comes in."
"Then let's wait a bit, we'll go back and have dinner before we come back to check."
"Um."
Feng Ye steered the boat around the whale shark once and then returned to the dock.
At this moment, several figures appeared on the dock.
These are people who ate breakfast early and were preparing to row their small wooden boat out to collect the nets.
"My God, what is that big guy?"
Ah-Can jumped off the boat, pulling on the rope as he did so, saying, "Didn't you see the whale shark yesterday afternoon?"
"Is it the one from yesterday afternoon? Didn't it swim away? How come it's stranded outside again?"
"Who knows? We saw it stranded there in the early hours of the morning."
"It ran aground in the early morning, and it's still alive after all this time. It's really tough."
You can't see the whale shark's pectoral fins moving from the shore, but you can still see its tail swaying, and there's such a big splash.
Feng Ye carried Feng Xinan off the boat, chatted with the people on the shore for a while, and asked them to help inform the village committee.
Then he and Ah-chan left and went home to eat.
