3 Chapter 3

◎ The two killer whales stared at each other ◎

Whale Blue said: "Bing ing." The Kara tribe is a transient whale, and will never adopt a resident whale.

The transient killer whales and the resident killer whales do not have a blood feud, but they also look down on each other.

She doesn't think that if they are willing to take in Whale Gray, Whale Gray will be willing to go with them.

The living habits of the two killer whales are completely different.

Whale Gray has finally adapted to the current way of life. Change is cruel to it.

What's more, each killer whale family has its own culture and heritage. If Whale Gray joins them, he will inevitably change his language and habits.

Over time, as the only killer whale left in the family, it may forget the family heritage and let the family belonging to its mother disappear completely in the sea.

Whale Blue sighed in his heart. He couldn't bear to see the inheritance and secrets of Whale Gray's family disappear, and he also couldn't bear to see Whale Gray live so hard alone.

The grandmother knew her daughter's hard-mouthed and soft-hearted character, so she helped her say the next words.

"Bing, ing, ing."

Although we can't take in Whale Gray, we can invite it to visit our tribe.

While they haven't completed their goal of coming here, they can take care of the poor killer whale and teach it some hunting skills.

Whale Huan was originally sad that he couldn't take in Whale Gray, but when he heard his grandmother's words, he suddenly became happy.

"Bing!"

Great!

On the contrary, Whale Lu couldn't accept it at all, especially when she saw that her favorite brother was devoted to Whale Gray, she was so angry.

"Bing, ing!"

No, I don't agree. I don't want to live with a strange killer whale who can't communicate!

Whale Huan has a lot of experience in how to comfort Whale Lu.

It swam to her side, rubbing its round head against her head desperately, stretching its tone, and its voice was sweet.

"Bing~~~"

Sister, my favorite sister, don't be angry~

"Bing."

I will teach Huihui to speak our language, sister, don't worry.

"嘤~~~"

Please~ Please~

Jinglu wanted to dodge, but it chased him relentlessly. His head and body were rubbed all over. His body became itchy. The anger in his heart gradually disappeared with the itchiness. He smiled unhappily: "嘤." Forget it this time.

Jinghuan hurried down the stairs and kissed her face: "嘤嘤." Sister, there won't be a next time. I will listen to you in the future.

Jinglu was completely happy at this time: "嘤." That's more like it.

Seeing that the brother and sister were reconciled, Jingyang announced impatiently: "嘤." Let's go find Jinghui.

It really wanted to meet Jinghui, who only lived in the mouths of other killer whales and was admired by its little nephew.

But Jinghuan rejected its proposal.

"嘤."

No, uncle.

"嘤嘤."

Huihui hasn't agreed to be my friend yet. I have to find it myself first, otherwise it won't come.

Jingyang felt a little regretful: "嘤." Okay then.

At this time, Jinglan said: "Yingying." Huanhuan, you can't go alone, it's very dangerous, let your uncle or sister accompany you.

Jinghuan couldn't help but look at Jingyang and Jinglu, unable to make a decision.

"Ying?"

Uncle, sister, who will go with me?

Jinglu said that Lu was unwilling at first, and finally Jingyang took on this boring task.

Why boring?

Because Jinghui is very wary of all killer whales and will not let other killer whales approach him easily.

It accompanied the little nephew, and in the end it could only hide aside by itself and could not disturb them.

Knowing that it had wronged uncle, Chaoqiu rubbed its head, first expressed apology, and then made a promise.

"Yingyingying."

Uncle worked hard. When Huihui is brought back, Huihui and I will catch some delicious dolphins for uncle.

Jingyang immediately became happy, although he did not think that two sub-adult killer whales could catch dolphins.

All kinds of dolphins live in groups, with a few or hundreds gathering together.

These dolphins will call for their companions when they are in danger.

The two little guys may not be able to achieve their goal when facing a group of disruptive dolphins.

But it did not say anything discouraging, and cried happily.

"Bing."

Then the uncle was waiting.

...

The lush giant kelp forest, the seaweed inside is extremely huge, the main stem is more than 15 cm wide and hundreds of meters long, and countless false leaves are crisscrossed, filling the entire space, looking like a solid wall.

A body as huge as a killer whale can be easily hidden in it.

This kelp forest is a shelter that marine life likes very much.

Whale Gray is hiding here.

Whale Huan rushed in excitedly, his body brushed against one false leaf after another, and scared out a bunch of small fish and shrimps.

"Bing."

Gray, I'm here.

Not far away, Whale Gray heard the familiar whale cry and his body froze.

Although he didn't understand what Whale Huan said, he could roughly guess from the cheerful tone that Whale Huan was calling him.

Not wanting Whale Huan to find out that it was playing with the seaweed strip, Whale Gray used its snout to push the sand on the seabed and covered up the intact seaweed.

Relying on the echolocation system, Whale Huan easily found Whale Gray.

It quickly rushed over, circled around Whale Gray, and then put its head in front of it, blinking happily.

"Bingbing?"

Gray, long time no see, I miss you so much, do you miss me?

Whale Gray was a little nervous, worried that if he didn't answer, he would be pursued and entangled like before, so he whimpered softly.

"Bing?"

What are you doing here?

Whale Huan thought it was also expressing its longing for itself, and happily turned around in place.

"Bingbing?"

I knew you missed me. I came to you today to ask if you are willing to come to play in my tribe?

It put on a look of being ready to take Whale Gray away.

Whale Gray didn't understand what it meant, but caught the word "leave".

Thinking that it just came to say hello and was leaving soon, Jinghui felt relieved.

It nodded and said, "Ying." You can go.

Seeing that it agreed, Jinghuan happily blew a string of bubbles.

"Yingying!"

Great, let's go!

After saying that, it came forward and rubbed Whale Gray's body happily.

Whale Gray's body stiffened, but Whale Huan didn't notice it at all. After rubbing it, it swam forward for a distance.

And when it happily turned around and wanted to talk to Whale Gray, it found that Whale Gray was still staying there.

There was a flash of doubt in its eyes, and it swam back to Whale Gray and asked in confusion: "嘤?" Why don't you leave?

Seeing it come back again, Whale Gray's body, which had just relaxed, suddenly froze again.

Whale Gray was more confused than it, secretly took a breath, and asked: "嘤?" Why are you back again?

The two killer whales stared at each other, and finally understood that the communication just now was completely irrelevant.

The matter of inviting Whale Gray to be a guest was temporarily shelved. Whale Huan decided to teach Huihui to speak the official language of killer whales first.

Each killer whale group has its own dialect.

But sometimes when you meet other killer whale groups, you also need to communicate with each other, and this is when the official language comes in handy.

When Whale Gray was 5 years old, he had no more teaching from his tribe. At that time, he had just learned the tribe's language, and had not had time to learn the official language.

In the days that followed, he was rejected by other killer whales, and he was unwilling to contact strange killer whales. He gradually moved away from all killer whales, and had no chance to learn the official language of killer whales.

The so-called official language is a fixed whistle, click and call, which represents simple meanings such as "play", "hello", and "get out".

Compared with complex and changeable dialects, the official language is easy to master.

Whale Huan made a click, and then acted out a scene of playing with seaweed.

Then he looked at Whale Gray and continued to make the same click, full of expectation.

Whale Gray understood what it meant and was very hesitant.

If he learned it, it would mean that he could communicate with Whale Huan and even other killer whales in the future.

Communication will create emotional connections.

In the past, when dealing with killer whale groups that he accidentally encountered, he adhered to three principles: don't understand, don't care, and don't care.

But once he can understand their communication, can he still endure the lonely life like now?

Whale Gray didn't know, but he knew very clearly that Whale Huan would not stay.

This killer whale, who was happy every day like a little sun, was a free-loving and unruly passerby.

When it left, it would only leave itself with short and happy memories, and the rest would be endless and longing and loneliness.

Whale Gray felt that if the light appeared and disappeared in its miserable life, it would be more painful. It

would be better not to have caught that light.

Whale Gray lowered his head and rejected Whale Huan in silence.

And Whale Huan, who was expecting from the beginning, gradually showed helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

It was not sad for itself to be neglected, but sad for Huihui who was afraid to accept the new life.

Huihui had a hard life, and it had already fallen into a dead end. If it did not make changes, it would collapse one day.

Whale Huan could even imagine that one day in the future, Huihui would be boycotted by those animals because he had robbed too many animals of their prey.

At that time, would Huihui still be alive?

Will there be killer whales who will remember this killer whale who tried so hard to survive, did not succumb to fate, and grew up on his own?

Whale Huan did not want to hear about Huihui in the future, only the news of his death.

"嘤嘤嘤~"

Woo woo woo~

The guess in his heart made Whale Huan's heart feel very uncomfortable, and his eyes were so sore that he could no longer hold those tears.

Whale tears are very special, like bright pearls left in the sea, slowly floating to the surface.

Whale Hui panicked. It didn't understand why it made Whale Huan cry just because it didn't want to learn the language?

Even more panicked than it was Whale Ocean outside the seaweed forest.

Whale Ocean was anxiously spinning in place. It wanted to ask Huanhuan what was wrong, and even wanted to rush in to see the situation.

But Whale Huan had told it before that if it didn't ask for help, no matter what happened, it couldn't make a sound, so as not to disrupt the plan and scare Huihui.

"Ka Ka"

Hearing Whale Hui say the words "Come and play", Whale Huan suddenly looked up at it.

[Author's words]

It is still uncertain whether the official language of killer whales exists. This is for the convenience of communication [heart].

Whale tears are not shed out of sadness or grief, to be precise. Special glands in whales' eyes can secrete oily tears to isolate the salty seawater, so that the whales' eyes will not feel pain due to long-term immersion in seawater. When a whale is stranded, its eyes will become dry and secrete oily tears. ——From the Baidu

article, it was written that way specifically to express the sadness of the whale [heart].
