He looked at his father again, "It probably wants us to untie the fishing net on it."
"This... This is too dangerous, right? Let's not do that. Let's just leave. Maybe it will break free by itself while swimming in the sea."
Father Ye looked at the huge size of the fish and thought of its powerful appearance just now, so he backed off.
Ye Yaodong looked at its body carefully again. The top of its head was hit by the propeller, leaving several cuts. It hurt just looking at it, its skin was torn apart.
Above the right fin, half of the body is wrapped in a pile of fishing nets.
He stretched his neck and took a closer look, only to find that the fishing net had already cut deeply into the injured flesh of the whale shark. It was obvious that the whale shark could no longer free itself from the fishing net.
Moreover, the fishing nets have been used to catch fish for a long time, and the net lines are very dirty. The wounds cut by the propellers were strangled by the fishing nets and could not heal at all.
And even if there are no wounds, if the whale shark is entangled in the fishing net for a long time, the fishing net will only become tighter and tighter as it struggles. If no one helps it to untie the fishing net, it will be entangled and die over time.
Ye Yaodong saw it struggling hard but unable to break free, and felt that it must be in great pain. It was thanks to it that he was able to escape from the ship of Luzhou Island.
"It can't get away by struggling. Look at it. Twisting like this will only make the fishing net tighter and tighter. If no one helps it cut the fishing net, it will be finished sooner or later."
I heard that many whale sharks or whales died from being entangled in fishing nets because they were greedy and often followed the fishing nets to steal food.
"It's too dangerous. Just ignore it. It's so big that it looks scary. It can swallow you up if it opens its mouth casually."
"They might even look down on me. In their eyes, humans are just ribs. They have no appeal to them. Otherwise, how could those people who fell into the water earlier still hold onto the driftwood? They should have been swallowed by them long ago. They didn't actively attack us, so we should be safe."
Based on his memories from his previous life, he was still somewhat confident. After all, this whale shark was also implicated by him, otherwise it would still be lying on the sea, basking in the sun leisurely.
He still wanted to save it.
Father Ye kept frowning, it was just a fish.
"Don't be stupid!"
"I'm sure. It didn't hurt us at first, and now it's close enough to hurt us. Let's just give it a hand."
He guessed that it swam towards those boats before to seek help, but those boats scattered like birds and beasts, wishing they could grow wings and fly away, so it swam towards him, but was afraid that he would run away too, so it floated up only when it was right in front of him.
"It's just a fish..."
"But it's not just any fish, it's a whale shark. How could it save us? I'll give it a try. Otherwise, it won't work if it keeps following us."
Father Ye looked at the fish struggling there but not hitting their boat, and he began to believe what Dongzi said about the docile fish.
But such a big head...
"What if it turns around and attacks you when you get close?"
"When I fed it before, it didn't attack me. Let's give it a try!"
Seeing that his father's attitude showed signs of softening, Ye Yaodong made another effort and took out a pair of scissors from the toolbox.
While they were talking, Ah Zheng and the small fishing boat not far away were so frightened by the huge creature that they stopped moving for a while.
But seeing that it did not launch an attack, and Dongzi's ship did not run away but stayed there, the two of them were immediately very curious. What happened
Shouldn't a normal person run away
Didn't the fishing boat in front of Dongzi also see the whale shark showing off its might and smashing a boat to pieces? They saw it all, but why didn't they run away
The two men discussed it there, but were hesitant. They saw their friend there, and they couldn't just turn around and leave. In the end, they thought of either slowly going around to the other side of Dongzi's boat to see what the situation was. If there was anything wrong, they would run away quickly.
Ye Yaodong was holding a pair of scissors, ready to strike when his father softened his attitude, when he saw the two idiots circling the boat towards him.
What an idiot! Is there any difference between going around to get to his boat and driving straight over
However, he was still relieved that they did not turn around and run away.
"Dad, hold two flags and make a cross to tell them not to come over. Just wait far away. If the fish really gets angry and we fall into the water, at least they can still help pull us out."
"You thought so, why did you go into the water?"
"Hey, just say it, it will be fine."
Ye Yaodong slowly climbed down the edge of the boat with a pair of scissors in his hand and swam towards the giant whale shark.
Xiaoxiao and Azheng were very close to them and saw him go into the water clearly. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
"Fuck, is Dongzi crazy? There's such a big guy, and people can't even hide in time, but he still jumped into the water?"
"Damn, has he been kicked in the head by a donkey? It would be fine if he just stayed here, but he actually went into the water? Is his father also stupid?"
"Oh my god, what do I do now?"
"It seems his father used a flag to cross it and told us not to go over there?"
"What the hell are they doing? Are they trying to catch this big guy too?"
"Who knows? Let's see first..."
The two of them cursed at each other, but did not leave. They watched carefully with concern.
After Ye Yaodong went into the water, he found that the whale shark had stopped struggling and was lying there obediently without any angry behavior. He immediately felt relieved.
He took out the scissors he had just brought with him, and starting from the nearest right fin, helped the whale shark cut the fishing net.
Father Ye's heart was in his throat. Seeing that the whale shark stopped struggling and instead behaved obediently, he immediately believed what Dongzi said, that it came to ask for help.
A Zheng and Xiao Xiao also stared at it from afar with wide eyes, and noticed the fishing net wrapped around the whale shark, and reacted instantly.
"Will Dongzi go down to help it untie the fishing net?"
"Fuck! You've learned to imitate Lei Feng by doing this to fish? You don't even want to live anymore?" Ah Zheng continued to curse in frustration.
"Is that why Mazu blessed him like this?"
"Stop being funny!"
"You know what? This fish actually waited obediently for him to untie the fishing net. Isn't this too mythical? This fish is so docile and intelligent? Could it be a spirit? It's so big, it's hard to say."
Ah Zheng touched his little forehead in disbelief, "Do you have a fever too?"
Xiaoxiao slapped his hand away and said, "Go away, don't you think this man and this fish are in harmony? Doesn't this fish still have the ferocious energy it had just now?"
The two men saw that Ye Yaodong seemed to be in no danger, so they relaxed a little and even cracked a few jokes.
This whale shark is more than ten meters long and is extremely large. Even its fins are extremely huge. It was the first time that Ye Yaodong got so close to such a huge creature and he found it quite novel.
In his previous life, he had only seen divers untangling fishing nets for whale sharks in videos. He never expected that if he did it again, he would actually go into the water and untangle fishing nets for whale sharks
It’s so damn great!
No, he is too grateful and repays kindness. He is really a good person.
The word "great" should be given to the divers who risk their lives for free to free whale sharks from fishing nets.
After giving himself a good guy card, Ye Yaodong worked hard again.
With his unremitting efforts, it took more than ten minutes to gradually free the huge fish fin from the fishing net.
After the whale shark discovered that its fins could move, it paddled excitedly twice, forgetting that Ye Yaodong was still beside it and almost threw him out. Fortunately, he held on to the fishing net on it tightly.
"Hey, brother, don't move. You haven't taken off your clothes yet. Don't get too excited too soon. Be careful or I'll insert the scissors into you."
I don’t know if it understood or not. After moving twice, it became quiet again and waited there obediently.
Ye Yaodong was afraid of being thrown out, so he simply climbed onto its back using his hands and feet and continued to untie the fishing net from its body.
Father Ye had been worried, but when he saw that he had been steady after climbing up and the big fish had cooperated and didn't move, he slowly felt relieved.
A Zheng and Xiao Xiao were also very curious and felt it was magical.
In that era, ocean development was not yet perfect, and they had never seen such a huge monster that was so friendly to humans
Seeing that Ye Yaodong was safe and sound and was helping it, they felt relieved and slowly moved the boat closer because they were really curious.
Since Dongzi was fine even after climbing on it, it should be fine for them to get closer, right
The two boats gradually came together, and the two men shouted to Ye's father: "Uncle, Dongzi is too brave, isn't he?"
"Who said it wasn't? I told him to leave it alone, but he said the fish was very docile and wouldn't be dangerous, and that he was the one who got into trouble. It was just a fish. Really, he still wanted to take the risk..."
"It's so motionless right now, it looks quite docile. If we hadn't been there just now and seen it get mad, I would have almost believed it."
Father Ye was surprised, "You are here too!"
"When we were dragging the net nearby, we saw the huge tail. We came over to take a look while reeling in the net and were almost scared to death. It was actually swimming towards us from behind. We were so scared that we didn't dare to rescue it and just ran away. We didn't expect it to swim towards you again..."
"The people on that boat were so unlucky. We didn't know which village they were from. We were so scared that we didn't dare to stay. We just wanted to run away. We don't know how they are now. Did the two boats go to rescue them?"
"Hey... you can't save them. That boat belongs to Luzhou Island. There are many strong men on it. If you save them, they might rob your boat..."
The two were surprised. "They are from Luzhou Island. They deserve it. Fortunately, we didn't rush over to rescue them..."
Seeing that Ye Yaodong was still calm, Father Ye simply told them about the previous encounter with the big fish and the Luzhou Island fishing boat...
