After adopting paranoid gods

Ji Tang: "..."

He understood that the little whale turned its belly over to be touched.But he didn't understand why the little whale would get dandelion fluff on its belly.

Even so, he still raised his hand and tried to touch the belly of the little whale.

Instead of touching the dandelion fluff, he chose to push the dandelion fluff away before carefully stroking its belly.

Although there are many scars on its belly, it still cannot resist the comfort of the hand.The belly is slippery and cold, as if stroking a piece of watery white tofu.

Ji Tang is used to being furry, but it's a novelty to rub it naked.He couldn't help stroking the other person's belly for a long time, and also cleaned the dandelion fluff.

While stroking, he wondered why the little whale used dandelion fluff to cover its belly.

Is it... Don't want him to see the scar on his belly, but want to be touched on his belly?

Ji Tang frowned slightly, pulled up the corners of her lips helplessly, and drew a love heart with water marks on the opponent's white and soft belly.

Of course he doesn't dislike the little whale, he likes it.

-

"Huh...?"

The little whale felt a little surprised.He originally thought that the boy would only caress the thick dandelion fluff, not its bare belly full of scars.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only stroked its belly, but also brushed away all the fluff, without touching the fluff at all.

It turns out that the boy doesn't hate being naked, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't have fur.

"Hey! Hey!" The little whale yelled excitedly, not forgetting to raise its white belly high, allowing the young man to reach a wider area.

The boy's hand was very small and warm to it, touching it like a small cloud sweeping back and forth on its belly, because of the soft touch, it couldn't help exhaling a burst of bubbles in the water.The deformed pair of fins also flapped excitedly.

This is the first time it has been touched belly.

What landed on its belly before was not stroking, but heavy whipping again and again.But now it is also a whale whose belly has been rubbed.

"Hey~ Hey!"

Under Ji Tang's touch, the white belly of the whale cub slowly turned red.

I don't know if it's because of excitement or because of shyness.

After all, the belly is the most sensitive part of an animal, and only the closest people can touch it.

Ji Tang glanced at the cub's belly, which had turned red from embarrassment, and slowly let go.

He was afraid to touch it any further, the whole black and white whale turned pink.

Ji Tang poked its soft pink belly: "Good boy."

"Hey..."

The little whale knew that the belly touching time was over, so it wanted to turn over.

It turned around with great effort, and its body bumped against the narrow wall of the pool, making a dull sound, which made people feel pain.It was afraid of moving for too long and disturbing the young man, so it rolled over its belly at an extremely fast speed, even if the fragile belly had red marks.

This small pool is really too small.

Ji Tang sighed lightly.

"It's okay to turn over slowly in the future, don't hit yourself."

"Hey!"

Ji Tang asked the little whale to go back to the bottom of the water.But the little whale did not go back, but chose to float half of its head to accompany the boy.

The top of the little whale's head is a little red, and it may also become shy because of touching.

Ji Tang was helpless, he didn't think he was raising a whale, but like raising a giant baby.Very clingy and gentle.Also secretly shy.

He set up his tent by the pool, and then opened his lunch box to eat.

At the same time, he took out the seafood he brought for the little whale.

It is said to be seafood, but it is actually just a few small fish and some small shrimps.There is no seafood market nearby, and Ji Tang can't find much food for it.

He carefully cleaned the seafood, processed it, and brought it to the little whale.

"Huh?"

After many years, the little whale saw its favorite small fish and shrimp again.

It beeped excitedly to thank Ji Tang, and then carefully put the food into its mouth.There was nothing left to eat.

It thinks it wants to eat a lot of things.Only in this way can I grow up and become a small island.

-

After Ji Tang finished his meal, he wanted to pick up his phone and continue to look up "Heidi Circus".

He wants to know more about the calf.

By accident, he finds contact information for a man who used to be a keeper at Heidi's circus.

The breeder posted his application information on the Internet. In his personal introduction, he wrote that he used to be a cetacean breeder at Heidi Circus and had many years of experience in animal training.

Ji Tang's heart sank.

Heidi Circus is a very old marine animal circus, and countless breeders have worked in it.Even if she is a cetacean breeder, but the range of cetaceans is too large, she may not know this little whale.

All breeders who abused the calf have been arrested.She is one of those keepers who has no connection to the calf.

Even so, Ji Tang still wanted to try to contact her.

If she doesn't know these things, Ji Tang won't bother her.

If she knew... Ji Tang wanted to know more.

He wants to know which sea area the little whale comes from, what it likes, what its living habits are like...

Ji Tang wrote down the phone number she posted. He was afraid of disturbing the other party, so he didn't call, but sent a text message first to test it out.

【Hello, have you ever been a cetacean breeder in Heidi Circus?Did you know there was a six month old humpback whale calf there? 】

It was getting late now, if the other party would reply, it would definitely not be so fast.

Ji Tang put down the phone first and got ready to sleep.

Before going to bed, he went out to see the little whale.

The little whale is still obediently floating on the water, guarding Ji Tang like a hill.

Ji Tang tiptoed and touched its head: "Good boy, go back to sleep."

"Hey..." The little whale groaned a few times, reluctant, wanting to continue to accompany the boy.

Ji Tang was silent for a moment, then said in a muffled voice: "Go back to sleep, otherwise I won't touch your belly."

"Huh? Huh!"

The little whale was stunned, its fins subconsciously slapped the water surface, and sank back to the bottom of the pool in a little panic.

Like a giant dog cub who is obedient but has his own clingy selfishness.

After Ji Tang settled the little whale, he took out a small charging lamp from the tent and placed it on the edge of the pool.

The small table lamp emits warm yellow light, which momentarily turns the dark pool water into gold, as if incorporating a sun.

This abandoned breeding garden is surrounded by high walls. Above the walls are dense leaves and weeds, covering the surrounding area like an overwhelming sky, and no light can penetrate.

Even in daytime, it is darker than night here.

Ji Tang raised her hand and looked at the dense leaves above her head.

If possible, he would like to remove all these leaves, so that the little whale can look at the sun in the pool.

No.

The little whale should be brought back to the sea, so that it can see the unobstructed view of the scorching sun, and let the golden sunlight wrap it all over.

The whale jumped up from the water, splashing the water, and the crystal water was reflected by the sun into a dazzling golden color, like grains of gold splashed out.

It must have been a beautiful sight.

Ji Tang thought while slowly falling asleep.

-

When Ji Tang woke up, he unexpectedly received a reply to the message he sent last night.

The other party said that he knew about the little whale, and warmly invited Ji Tang out for tea.

Ji Tang agreed of course.

It's just that he was a little curious why the other party was so enthusiastic about him.

He finished washing with a temporary toothbrush in the tent, put on his clothes and was ready to meet the other party.

It was very early at this time, and the little whale was still sleeping. Transparent bubbles of purring appeared on the surface of the water, and the soft sound of "beeping" in sleep was heard.

"Little whale, wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

Ji Tang smiled lightly at the bubbles on the water surface.

He put on his backpack and left the abandoned zoo.

He returned to the city, took a taxi, and came to the teahouse the other party mentioned.

The other party sent Ji Tang a seat in the teahouse, and Ji Tang looked at the designated seat from a distance.

There was only one old lady sitting there.

The old lady looked over 70 years old, and she was plain and clean.

Ji Tang suspected for a moment that he was wrong, but he still stepped forward to ask.

The old lady nodded: "It's me, I was the breeder back then."

"..." Ji Tang raised the corners of her lips: "Grandma is good."

"sit down."

Before Ji Tang could ask anything, the old man said first, "You must be wondering why I asked you out."

"why?"

The old man: "Since you still know the existence of that little whale, I would like to ask you something about that little whale."

Ji Tang: "What's the matter?"

The old man smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, you can ask what you want first. I was only 16 years old when I came to the circus. I was not the breeder of the whale. I was only responsible for taking care of a little turtle. But... I saw the calf die and know a lot about it. You can ask all you want about it."

"Also, the application information is not for me to apply for, I just posted it for my granddaughter, who is also an animal breeder."

"..."

Ji Tang was a little curious about what the old lady wanted to ask him.But for the sake of the little whale, he still chose to learn about the little whale.

"Do you know which sea area that little whale came from?"

Since we want to bring it back to the sea, we must bring it back to our hometown.

Even if it was born in that hometown, it never saw a single glance.

"It was born in a circus, but its parents are from Liaohai in the south of China."

Liaohai...

Ji Tang had never heard of the name of this sea area.

"Thank you." Ji Tang still wrote down the name of the sea area.He went on to ask the other person a second question.

And the most important question.

"Did you know that the little whale has a wish to become a small island?"

Wanting to take it to see the sea is just Ji Tang's wish for it.Its wish is to grow up, to be an island.Even though this was never possible, Ji Tang still had a glimmer of hope to help it.

The old man froze and nodded.

"I know, the whole circus knew at the time."

"Its IQ is very high, not inferior to human beings, and it can express its wishes in many ways."

"It likes to put some aquatic plants and flowers on its head, and let little turtles and birds perch on itself, pretending that it is a small island."

"It is also trying very hard to grow up, to be as big as a small island. It wants to eat a lot of food every day to grow up,... It's a pity that the circus doesn't give it so much food."

Ji Tang listened carefully to the old man's words. After the old man finished speaking, Ji Tang sighed softly and murmured: "But even if it ate too much before, it is impossible for it to grow up."

Its soul and body were imprisoned in that small pool.

It should have been a big, beautiful island.

The old man shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Its perception of external things is not very sensitive. It must not know that it is dead now. It is still waiting for itself to grow up and become a small island. It has been waiting for 50 years. .”

Humpback whales are truly one of the gentlest creatures in the world.When they encounter what they want, apart from striving for it, they will only wait quietly and peacefully.The baby whale has been waiting in the turbid and dark pool for nearly a hundred years, but still has not forgotten its original intention.

Ji Tang: "..."

Seeing Ji Tang's disappointed expression, the old man smiled.She raised her hand, patted Ji Tang's shoulder, and said softly:

"Did you know there's a word called 'whale fall'?"

"After a whale dies, its body will fall into the depths of the ocean and support the marine ecological cycle system dominated by decomposers for up to 100 years. This is the last tenderness that whales give to the ocean."

"In this story, every whale is the gentlest and strongest island."
