Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 562 Red Blood and Black Waves

The huge dolphin sculpture is pointing to the sea from a distance. At this time, the sea is calm, except for the whistle of the fishing boat when it is ready to move forward.

At sea, it takes a long time for a bird to completely disappear from your field of vision, and you can watch it for a long time without any shelter.

The sun has just risen, and it is less than 5:30 in the morning. Bi Fang stands on the top of the mountain and looks into the distance. There are still nearly three hours before the live broadcast starts. Now he has enough time to observe and record.

There are more than a dozen fishing boats, large and small, all lined up in Dolphin Bay. The sides and masts of the ships are covered with flags and flags, and the decks are piled up with sacrificial chicken, duck and fish.

It is not only dedicated to the sea, but also an alternative bait.

Bi Fang didn't have a watch, and the fishing boats in the port hadn't moved yet, but he felt that it was almost time, perhaps five thirty-eight.

Apart from nine and thirteen, the Japanese prefer odd numbers.

7, 5, 3, and 8 are all numbers that the Japanese love. There is a festival called 753 Festival, which is a festival for blessing children.

Fishermen tend to believe in strange powers and gods more than farmers.

Floating, the unfathomable sea is much more erratic than the down-to-earth soil.

When people face uncertainty, they will have superstitious thinking.

In 1948, an English anthropologist studied a primitive tribe near Papua New Guinea, which lived on fishing. There is an inner lake on the island where they are located. The resources in the inner lake are very stable. As long as you go there, there will be fish, but the quantity and quality are average.

The quality of the inner lake is not good, so fishermen sometimes have to go out to sea to fish, and going to sea is full of uncertainties-sometimes they can catch big and many fish, and sometimes they will return empty-handed. Danger.

Fishermen have a primitive religious ceremony before going to sea, and they are willing to believe in strange powers and gods.

But anthropologists note that fishermen were not always superstitious. Fishermen only engage in religious ceremonies before going fishing in the sea, and they do not engage in superstitious activities if they go fishing in inner lakes.

Here comes the question, if you really believe in God, shouldn’t you be grateful for God’s gifts when you go fishing in Neihu Lake?

It seems that the fishermen don't care much about how the gods feel...they just want to do something to intervene in uncertainty.

In addition, there are many lucky little moves of athletes. They feel that small moves will bring good luck, and they will continue to hit the ball next.

And Skinner's pigeon experiment, whether the pigeon can get food by touching the mechanism is changed to random.

In the end, the pigeon will do some redundant actions every time it touches the organ.

Sometimes I shake my head, sometimes I turn twice...

Fishermen hold sacrificial ceremonies, athletes pursue good luck, and pigeons do superfluous movements. Some rely on gods, some rely on themselves. They are all essentially the same kind of thinking—when faced with uncertainty, people always want to do something. Intervene.

Knowing that it may not be easy to do if you do it, but you still do it, and you will not feel at ease if you don’t do it-this is superstition.

This is a very normal behavior, but Bi Fang finds it ironic that the fishermen in Taiji Town do this at this time.

Subconsciously, these people don't care what the ocean thinks.

Perhaps this is the instinct of all creatures. In front of the benefits they can get, the gods in their hearts become dispensable.

More than a dozen fishing boats are up and down side by side, looking mighty and mighty. These "dolphin hunters" should set off soon.

The mist on the sea gradually dissipated, and it was already half past five, and it was only a few minutes away from five thirty-eight.

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and Bi Fang can't see anything clearly, so he can only observe through the drone.

Among the dozen or so fishing boats was a new boat. The deck was very clean and not yet covered with bird droppings. The air was filled with a strong smell of paint, which was a bit pungent.

On the fishing boat, the captain offered incense and knelt down, and gongs, drums and firecrackers blared.

Several crew members stood at the bow of the ship, some of them were sniffling constantly, feeling a little uncomfortable, a young guy was wearing wader pants, it could be seen that they might have been taken from his father, they were old and wide, this is a door A hunt passed down from generation to generation.

He stretched out his arms, and he could really feel the feeling of petrels flying against the wind on the sea. However, there seemed to be a petrel that was black, which seemed a bit out of place, but before the young man took a closer look, the black petrel disappeared.

It all started with friendly pleasantries, and there were only a few topics to talk about, and occasionally someone could be heard boasting about the love affair the night before departure.

Soon, 5:38 arrived, as expected.

All the dozen or so fishing boats honked their horns, and white water foam swayed from both sides of the boats, pushing the waves forward.

The departure ceremony starts on time, even if it is too early or too late.

Just out of the sea, the young Asuka didn't feel unwell, on the contrary, he was very excited.

Asuka was very used to watching dolphin shows in the aquarium when he was a child. Those smart dolphins are really cute. His room is covered with dolphin posters and small toys, but people cannot always remain the same.

As he grows older, Asuka likes more and more things, such as new game consoles, VCDs, and cute girls from the neighbor's house.

After going to college, I want more things, the best computer, a comfortable environment, food for pets, shelter, a cool bike, an ergonomic chair

And all of these cost money.

But a qualified dolphin can be sold for hundreds of thousands of ugly gold, even if you can't get all of them, you can still meet most of your needs.

It's summer vacation, and the girl next door wants the latest cosmetics, but unfortunately it costs tens of thousands of yen. Asuka feels that he must satisfy her.

Compared with money, cute dolphins are nothing.

Seeing Asuka in a daze, the older crew members sternly reprimanded: "Asuka, is this the time to be in a daze?"

Asuka was startled, and hurried to run: "Here, come, senior, what do I need to do?"

"Hold it!" The older crew member handed Asuka a long pole.

Asuka took it with both hands, and unexpectedly found that the pole was very heavy, and the length was almost close to the length of the entire fishing boat. There was a flange at the end of the long pole, which was very heavy, and bent against the whole pole. I don't know what it was for. of.

But soon, Asuka knew.

The older crew member bit his cigarette holder and handed Asuka a hammer. Without even explaining, he leaned the long pole against the fence, plunged it into the sea water, and then hit the pole head with the hammer.

Asuka looked confused.

What is this doing?

Breathing out a puff of smoke, the old crew member scolded: "Why are you in a daze? Can't you just do it?"

Asuka, who has not yet started, has already been scolded for a good opportunity. The young and vigorous he is a little unconvinced, but thinking of today's dividends, he still bears it, imitating the old crew's movements, inserting the long pole into the water, and hitting it with a hammer long pole.

At first he thought it was a very easy job, but within a few minutes of knocking, he felt numb and painful in the left hand holding the rod. When he opened it, he found that it had become red and swollen.

The long pole kept vibrating under the hammer's strike, and his hands were flushed red from the subtle vibrations.

The old crew member took a look, then spat out the cigarette holder into the sea, and snorted coldly.

Only experienced crew members know that working gloves are essential.

For this stunned young man who doesn't know how to respect his seniors and is covered in thorns, it is very necessary to teach him a lesson.

Asuka clearly heard the sneer, gritted his teeth, took off his clothes, and held them in his hands, not only did not feel discouraged, but knocked harder.

But soon, the captain noticed Asuka. He and Asuka's father were good friends, so he took off the glove on his right hand and threw it to Asuka.

Asuka looked back and said pleasantly, "Captain!"

The captain patted Asuka on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Do it well, dolphins always come to Taiji Town along the migration route, this hasn't changed for thousands of years, we just need to wait for them to throw themselves into the net." gone."

"Hi!"

Bi Fang stood on the top of the mountain with his arms in his arms, watching all this happen, but remained indifferent.

To stop now, can only stop this time, but there is still tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next week, next month, year after year.

Looking down at Dolphin Bay from a high position, Bi Fang could clearly see a dozen fishing boats lined up in a row. The crew put some long poles with flanges on the tails into the water, and then hit the heads with hammers.

Due to the whiplash effect, only a small force needs to be applied on the club head, and the club tail can form a large vibration, and the vibration transmits sound, which forms a sound wall.

Dolphins are extremely sensitive to sound, so sensitive that many people find it incredible.

According to Richard, the backbone of all dolphinariums is the "fish house," and no matter which one you go to, you'll find boxes and boxes of Maalox and Tagamet, both drugs that reduce stomach acid.

It's here because all dolphins suffer from stomach ulcers.

They are so overstressed that they are too heavy to bear.

This is almost the same as humans.

You only need to see them in the sea to understand that this kind of captivity will not work.

Dolphins are auditory animals, and hearing is their main sense. The most advanced sonar of human beings is nothing compared to that of dolphins.

They can easily "hear through" humans in the ocean, hear your nervous heartbeat because of falling into the water, your bones, whether you are pregnant, dolphins can get a lot of information just by sound.

After the dolphins were captured, they were thrown into a concrete pool, surrounded by screaming spectators. After retreating every night, they had to endure all kinds of machines running non-stop.

It's like human beings with their eyelids stretched open, and a 24-hour headlight is placed in front of them.

When the National Aquarium in Baltimore first started operation, dolphins died one after another, and the staff tried their best to keep them alive.

In the end, they discovered that the filter system was too noisy, and the noise pressure around the clock killed the dolphins.

Hearing is the primary organ of dolphins, and it has also become their most fatal weakness in Taiji Town.

Fishermen take advantage of dolphins’ sensitivity to sound, and drive a dozen small boats to the seaport where dolphins gather to artificially create noise in the sea. They place a long pole from the boat into the sea, knock it continuously and create a row of sound waves, forming a sound wave. The wall, designed to frighten dolphins, animals that rely primarily on their keen sense of hearing for survival, drove hundreds of them to shore.

The dolphins are running for their lives, running away from that wall of sound.

In the end, the fishermen will drive the dolphins into the lagoon blocked by fishing nets, and begin to kill these tortured and panicked dolphins with their butcher knives.

With a little bit of knocking, Asuka quickly noticed the difference, and the originally calm sea seemed to become restless.

As the fishing boats lined up, forming a semi-encirclement toward Dolphin Bay, suddenly some dolphins jumped out of the sea, but these dolphins did not jump into the sea dexterously like the birds usually saw on the beach, but hit them hard On the surface of the sea, set off waves.

For some reason, Asuka was frightened, and the movements of his hands slowed down.

"Hey! Kid, don't stop!" Seeing this, the old crew member kicked Asuka's popliteal and kicked him to his knees. He shouted loudly, "This is a critical period, don't let anyone A dolphin has escaped! They know how to tip off!"

Asuka's kneecap collided with the deck, and the severe pain made him wake up quickly. Thinking of the money he was about to get, he stood up with difficulty and continued to tap.

With the first dolphin, soon, more and more dolphins jumped out of the water, broke through the sea, and fell into the water.

They used to be elves in the ocean, but now, they seem to have forgotten how to swim.

The blue sea surface was quickly filled with white waves, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of white foam.

Soon, the encirclement shrunk by half, slowly approaching Dolphin Bay.

The sound wall is like a big net, which catches all the dolphins and drags them to the narrow dolphin bay.

Some dolphins have already entered the Dolphin Bay, and the fishermen on the shore cheered loudly. Some even rushed into the sea eagerly, holding a long hook knife in their hands, and approached the dolphins swimming towards the shallows.

The long hook knife shone fiercely in the sun. It was a hook cutting tool specially used to destroy enemy ships' equipment in ancient naval battles.

The shape is a very long pole with a binding ring and a sharp hook-shaped knife. When approaching the enemy ship, the hook knife is stretched out, and the hook cuts the ropes of the enemy ship's mast, causing the canvas to fall and lose the wind power. ship combat.

The fishermen who jumped into the sea did not stab indiscriminately, but specifically looked for dolphins of poor appearance, which were of no value and were only food.

A certain fisherman suddenly found a wounded dolphin swimming towards him, as if he wanted to ask for help. Seeing this scene, the fisherman held a long hook knife and suddenly stabbed into the dolphin's spine, hooking the spine like a rope , Even the blood did not disperse, the dolphin was pulled onto the boat by the fishermen and their companions.

The dolphin's spinal nerves rubbed against the metal, causing severe pain.

Harsh screams resounded throughout Dolphin Bay.

The screams of the companions, the walls of harsh sounds in all directions.

The frightened dolphins were swimming around in the bay, and the surrounding water was stained red by the blood of their companions.

The mother dolphin tried to warn her calves of danger and uttered distressed calls to protect them.

With massive blood loss and unbearable pain, the injured dolphin was powerless to resist.

More and more fishermen joined, and the blood spread.

The faces of the fishermen are full of harvest smiles, and the first wave is so rich, it is conceivable that this year must be a bumper harvest year.

They pulled the dolphin onto a fishing boat, slit its throat, chopped off its spinal cord, and left it on the boat to die naturally.

Head after head.

The sea is churning with red blood and black waves.
