After completing their migration route this time, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi returned to the Caribbean Sea. When they returned here, it was early spring and the breath of winter had not yet dissipated.
But this is not a big deal in tropical seas. Even in winter, the temperature does not drop much.
When Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi came back, the ambient temperature was still very suitable, and the sea area belonging to the Atami area was colorful, with various colors, very bold.
The clear sea water can easily see the bottom, confusing people's eyes and making them think that the sea water is very shallow. In fact, it is not, it is just clear water.
Xu Qiaoqiao has always lived in the ocean. Except for the first few foreigners, she has never gotten along with humans much, and she doesn't know where humans have developed now.
In the past few years, mankind has probably paid more attention to the protection of the marine environment. When she and Jun Qi were migrating outside, they saw some environmental protection people driving small boats on the sea from time to time.
Pick up trash.
Xu Qiaoqiao herself was not sure, but when she saw an old turtle swimming and swimming towards the human ship, Xu Qiaoqiao probably knew what they did.
Because that turtle's shell was covered with barnacles and some green seaweed, which looked a bit scary, and it seemed that there were some on its head.
When Xu Qiaoqiao saw this scene, she was so frightened that she immediately pulled Jun Qi away from the sea area. At the same time, she also informed the Zaizai to move faster.
After swimming for an unknown distance, Xu Qiaoqiao finally stopped when the nearby sea area was completely unfamiliar. Her first reaction was to look at Jun Qi's back.
Jun Qi still didn't understand why. He saw Xu Qiaoqiao's movements and used his pectoral fins to comfort her: Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?
Not only him, but also their cubs were all attached to Xu Qiaoqiao, touching Xu Qiaoqiao's skin with their kisses, comforting: Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you?
The two of them have always been smooth, with no barnacles or other parasites growing on them. Their skins are extremely smooth and smooth. At first glance, it seems that they are well-raised and pay good attention to hygiene.
After Xu Qiaoqiao read it, she knew deep down in her heart that she had just been scared. After all, she was by her side. Plus, she was a marine animal now. If she wasn't careful, she would grow barnacles.
That thing is disgusting.
When Xu Qiaoqiao thought of this kind of thing, she wanted to frown and get goosebumps all over her body. She shook her head: It's okay, it's okay, I just want to see if there are barnacles on your back, Junjun.
Jun Qi blinked: Did you see it?
Xu Qiaoqiao patted Jun Qi's head with her pectoral fins and twitched her tail a few times: "No, congratulations, Junjun!"
Jun Qi's eyes gradually showed a smile: Thank you Qiao Qiao.
The whale shark cubs nearby, especially those that were nearly one meter in length, looked at this scene, looked at their mother, looked at their father, and soon, several big greetings appeared on their heads.
A few bold cubs came to Xu Qiaoqiao with their tails wagging: Mom, what are barnacles?
Speaking of this matter, Xu Qiaoqiao became serious. She immediately retracted her pectoral fins and began to explain: Barnacle is a kind of parasite, which is very, very bad. Although it looks small,
But the power cannot be ignored.
Speaking of this, several whale shark cubs, as well as those whale sharks still moving around her, began to listen to their mother's words unconsciously.
Seeing this, Xu Qiaoqiao felt secretly happy, feeling like a little teacher. Now Teacher Qiaoqiao will continue to talk:
Once barnacles are parasitized, it is difficult to clean them. They are itchy and uncomfortable. They grow very quickly and are not picky. They will grow in many places, including the tail, back, pectoral fins, and even around the eyes. They are also very long.
It feels very disgusting, very disgusting.
After hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi lowered his eyes slightly. He understood the mood of a certain fish who wanted to be a teacher. It was rare to see Qiaoqiao like this, and he liked it.
When the whale shark calves heard Xu Qiaoqiao's words, they all became worried.
"How terrible!"
"Barnacles are so scary!"
“Barnacles are so ugly!”
"Woooooo~ I don't want to touch the barnacles."
"Me too……"
"I don't want to become ugly. I want to be naked like my parents."
They were transmitting the message. Xu Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and couldn't hide her smile. She waved her pectoral fins: Okay, kids, barnacles are not impossible to avoid.
As soon as her message came out, everyone stopped transmitting information. Three seconds later, they all asked Xu Qiaoqiao what the method was.
It was impossible to teach those human methods. All Xu Qiaoqiao could tell them were some simple avoidance methods.
She waved her pectoral fins: Just swim faster. Barnacles don't move fast. Swim faster and they won't be able to catch up with you. Also, if you find something is wrong at the beginning, you can find some rocks and then scrape them, and you'll still get scratched.
Remove the barnacles, but this method is not very good.
Because of what Xu Qiaoqiao said, her hundreds of children will swim several times faster than ordinary whale sharks in the future, which is also a very conspicuous feature in the ocean.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi kept these children with them for six years. The first whale shark cub to leave them was when he was three years old. At this time, although he looked like a baby at first glance, he should know that
’s all known.
In addition, during the years when they were raising Zai Zai, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi were very regular. They would go out and walk the migration route once, just to set an example for the children.
This is something that is done every year and has always been done.
The last few cubs to leave the two of them were when they were six years old. On a very ordinary morning, just like their brothers and sisters, they came over, kissed their father and mother, and said
Goodbye, and then set off on my own journey.
It has always been like this, they don't like sensationalism, so they always find someone to leave them when their parents are still sleeping, or when they are inconspicuous.
When the children grow up, it's time to leave.
A few years later, Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi completely reached the forty-year-old mark. At the age of forty, Xu Qiaoqiao unexpectedly met an old acquaintance, a human being whom he thought he would never see again.
——George, and his friends.
There are also several young people. He looks very old. He has gray hair and wears reading glasses. His originally straight back is now bent.
