The answer then appeared, and the old sperm whale continued to ask timidly, "are you your brother?"
Qin Shiou was stunned and asked, "what brother, who are you?"
The old sperm whale replied, "my brother is my brother. I'm TA. You're neither Tata nor my brother. Who are you?"
Qin Shiou just wants to wave his hand to his mouth. He wants to wake himself up and wonder if he is dreaming now. All this is too mysterious and dreamy. Does the old sperm whale have a brother? And such a clear consciousness? And right and wrong? How is that possible!
Now that the communication is open, the things behind are simple. Qin Shiou said, "I don't mean any harm. I'm the owner of this fishing ground. I've never seen anyone before -- ah, no, a fish has the ability to speak. How do you have the ability to speak?"
The old sperm whale was silent again and looked at him directly.
Qin Shiou was speechless and hesitated whether to continue to intimidate it with words. The old whale looked very timid.
But soon, the old sperm whale said again, "are you the owner of the fishing ground? Then you are my brother. My brother is the owner of the fishing ground. "
Qin Shiou smiled. Shit, your brother once controlled this sea area and regarded it as his own territory? He was thinking about it, but suddenly he thought of something wrong: the old sperm whale called this area a fishing ground, not anything else, that is, it knew it was a fishing ground!
Only human beings call an ocean a fishing ground!
That old sperm whale's brother is his second grandfather! Qin Shiou suddenly understood this!
He couldn't bear to be excited and asked, "is your brother Qin Hongde?"
The old sperm whale's big mouth slowly wriggled a few times: "no, brother, he is omnipresent. He asked me to call him brother, but he hasn't appeared for a long time."
"When was the last time you met? About fifteen years ago? " Qin Shiou has now roughly determined the identity of the old whale brother.
The old sperm whale asked strangely, "fifteen years? I don't know. I haven't seen my brother for a long time. My brother said last time that he was going to die. He told me not to come to the fishing ground again. He said that the fishing ground would be very dangerous. If he died, many bad people would come to the fishing ground. "
Qin Shiou completely confirmed it. The elder brother of the old sperm whale is his second grandfather!
He once heard Auerbach say that in the hands of his second grandfather, Daqin fishing ground was once rich and brilliant. Many people wanted to steal fish, but he drove them away.
Later, when his second grandfather died, the fishing ground was unmanaged. In the early years, countless fish stealing ships came and went, quickly turning the rich fishing ground into a dead sea.
In this way, a moving scene appeared in his mind: decades ago, a middle-aged man found a small sperm whale with independent consciousness, then called himself the brother of the small whale and took it to live in the fishing ground.
As time went by, the middle-aged man became an old man and the little whale became a big whale. One day, the old man was dying. He found the big whale and told it that he was going to die. Let it leave the fishing ground to prevent being hurt by the greedy fishing boat.
Later, more than 14 years later, the big whale became an old whale, returned to the fishing ground and returned to the place where its brother once lived with it
Imagining these scenes, Qin Shiou substituted the snowball into the image of the old sperm whale and himself into the image of the second Grandpa, and then burst into tears at that moment!
The old sperm whale didn't bother him. He was old and used to silence and quiet. When Qin Shiou fantasized about all this, he was watching curiously.
After imagining it in his heart, Qin Shiou came back and said, "your brother is my grandfather..."
So he feels a little awkward. Doesn't that mean he has to call the whale grandpa?
Fortunately, the old whale didn't know this. He continued to look at him curiously and waited for him to speak. He then said, "your brother taught you everything, right? You've lived together for a long time, haven't you? "
The old whale said slowly, "yes, my brother taught me a lot. We have lived together for a long time. When I get old, my brother gives me longevity worms. I ate the longevity bug, so I can continue to live, and then spit out what I can't digest, and my brother will eat it. "
Qin Shiou's brain turned quickly and analyzed the information in his words.
There is no doubt that the longevity bug is the kind of strange bug he calls the black lid giant. After eating these giant insects, the life span of the old whale increases greatly. This time, when he may reach the limit of life, he wants to come back and look for the longevity bug to eat.
The last time the big brother sperm whale led a team to catch the longevity bug, it was obviously for the old sperm whale to eat, or the task was assigned by the old sperm whale to his men!
But there is one thing that doesn't make sense here, that is, since the old sperm whale can eat longevity worms to increase his life, why doesn't his second grandfather do so? Qin Shiou figured it out. When he and his family were old, he would eat this black cover giant to increase his life.
In addition, the old whale's last words surprised him: this guy can't digest all the longevity insects after eating them. Some things can't digest and spit out, and will be eaten by his second grandfather, or absorbed by his second grandfather.
So, what did he spit out? Obviously, it must be a strange thing called "Poseidon food" by people in some places and "ambergris" by people in other places!
No wonder he has been unable to decipher the specific identity of this ambergris, and no wonder it is called Poseidon food.
Maybe someone met this kind of sperm whale with independent consciousness, and it happened that the sperm whale was spitting out the indigestion black beetle crustacean ingredients. As a result, those people thought they were eating this kind of thing, so they had the saying of "Poseidon food"!
This possibility is great. First of all, in ancient times, sperm whales more than ten or twenty meters long were extremely terrible: they could overturn wooden boats and hit some coastal villages with storms. It seems that they are like demons in the sea.
However, they can also use their strong bodies to rescue some shipwrecks and help some stranded ships. In this way, they are the God of the sea.
Secondly, if a sperm whale also has independent consciousness and human like wisdom, it can do more. If such a sperm whale had better luck, such as being taught and instructed like this old whale, it would have the style of Poseidon.
But he still couldn't figure out why the second grandpa wouldn't eat the beetle's crustaceans? According to the situation of Da Bai, the black lid giant can really be called a longevity insect, which plays a very important role in prolonging life.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he asked, and the sperm whale really answered him: "my brother said that he was a monster. He usually behaved strangely enough and didn't want people to see more strangeness, so he would rather die naturally."
