blue whales under the stars

After falling asleep, Mu Ye returned to that magnificent place.

Only this time, he was not around the pool.The space here looks very spacious, and the surrounding furnishings are also cold and rich in the same style.Mu Ye tentatively walked towards the extended road ahead, and he saw a huge metal machine when he didn't go far.

The exterior of the machine has a cold metallic luster. For some reason, Mu Ye always feels that this place has a strange sense of familiarity.He took out an iron bucket from the wooden cabinet next to the machine. After looking at the empty iron bucket twice, he slowly approached the machine and picked up a full bucket from a protruding switch.

When these actions were performed, Mu Ye was not very aware of his own thoughts.He could feel that he was dreaming, but all these actions seemed to be taken for granted, and his drowsy consciousness did not leave him much room for thinking.

Mu Ye lowered his head, wanting to see what was in the iron bucket.But there is always a layer of whiteness blocking him, making him unable to see clearly no matter what.Consciousness seemed to be blinded by this, and he gradually lost even the desire to get to the bottom of it.

Based on the feel, Mu Ye could tell that the contents of the barrel were heavy. If it were him in the mountains, he might not be able to pick up the barrel and leave immediately, but now, his body doesn't find it difficult.

He slowly walked towards the cage not far away. It was a row of iron cages with thick and tall railings. Mu Ye carried the iron bucket and poured the contents of the bucket into the narrow entrance on the lower right side of each iron cage.

The things in the iron cage were also covered by the white mist, and they couldn't see clearly. He couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

The iron cage couldn't see the end, but as it got deeper and deeper, depressive and dark things gradually enveloped Mu Ye's heart.Mu Ye had never experienced this kind of feeling before, he always felt that he would be suffocated by this invisible weight in the next moment, but his body seemed to have gotten used to this kind of oppression, and there was no real abnormality.

He walked all the way to the iron cage marked with strange marks, and then he left this terrible place with an empty bucket.

The surrounding decorations are unfamiliar and cold, except for the iron bucket and iron cage, the rest of the place is equally clear and bright, without any shelter.It's just that even after leaving that place, the discomfort in Mu Ye's heart did not completely dissipate. He thought of the white whale he had seen last time, and suddenly felt that he missed it a little bit now.

But Mu Ye didn't quite know how to go to the pool, he began to try to convey ideas to his vague consciousness, wanting to let his body lead him towards the pool just like the habitual movements just now.

He turned corners indiscriminately, dazed for a while in an unfamiliar place.It wasn't until the consciousness was almost out of touch with the body that Mu Ye saw the bright and clear pool in the distance.

He's here, but the white whale, is it still there?

Climbing up the stairs, Mu Ye finally reached the familiar plank on the water surface.He stepped on the wooden board and quickly saw the white iron barrel from last time.What made Mu Ye heave a sigh of relief was that, unlike the previous white mist, this time he finally saw clearly what was in the iron bucket.It was a bucket full of fish and fresh shrimps. Although they were not big in size, they looked very fresh.

Mu Ye bent down and picked up the bucket naturally. With this food, he could feed the beluga whale.

A few steps forward, it was the place where he stopped last time.Mu Ye squatted down on the edge of the board, and touched the calm water with his fingers.The surface of the water feels cold to the touch, and with the light touch of fingers, a little water ripples.

Soon, a dark shadow appeared on the water not far away.

Mu Ye couldn't help laughing, he stood up, and took out a plump and wet fish from the bucket.He raised his arm and let go of his fingers, and the chubby white whale immediately poked its head out of the water, jumped and opened its mouth to catch the fish in his hand.

Mu Ye smiled and wanted to praise it for its power, the joy on his face and chest could not be concealed.Just when he was about to blurt out, a cold question suddenly hit his heart.

What is the name of the white whale?What does he usually call it?It should have a name related to its shape, it's called...

what is it called?

Mu Ye couldn't remember.His breathing gradually accelerated, the increasingly noisy heartbeat shook his eardrums, panic and loss enveloped him, something extremely important was in his fingers, but he couldn't grasp it.

As a member of the beast taming family, Mu Ye naturally understood the meaning of the name.Animals do not necessarily have their own names, but once the relationship is established and the animals are domesticated, the name becomes a contract, and it is the most conspicuous link between the animal trainer and the animal.

But now, Mu Ye has forgotten... the name of this white whale.

Early in the morning after another dream, Mu Ye thought hard, always feeling that he seemed to have lost something very important.

He grew up in the mountains and forests. Although he didn't find his companion beast in the place where the tribe lived, he had a good relationship with all the animals he came into contact with.Mu Ye can be sure that he has not forgotten an animal that he has had close contact with - this is a very impolite thing, and he will not do it.

But where did the story of that beautiful white whale, that heavy iron bucket, and those cold cages that can't be seen at a glance happen?In that place where everything is so strange, Mu Ye can know which direction to go as soon as he walks in.

Mu Ye once again raised the question to Bai Cang: "Aren't there... blue whales in the pool at the zoo?"

Bai Cang was cooking porridge for Mu Ye's breakfast, he paused when he heard the sound, and then gently stirred the dried shrimps and shellfish in the pot with a silver spoon.The fresh and sweet aroma drifted over with his voice, and Bai Cang gave the same answer again: "No."

Mu Ye lowered his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the round belly pot in front of Bai Cang.Bright red sea rice and large pieces of fresh shellfish are sprinkled in the snow-white glutinous rice. Just a glance is enough to arouse one's appetite.It's just that the boy who was about to be fed seemed a little uneasy: "Then..."

He pinched his fingertips and asked in a low voice: "Then, where is the white whale?"

Bai Cang picked up the lid of the pot on the side and covered it, leaving a slit on the edge of the pot, and added a little more transparent liquid into the burning groove under the pot.Mu Ye actually didn't know how this neat set of tools appeared in the empty cabin last night. It was just early in the morning when he was awakened. Under Mr. Lanjing's patient caress, he was half-drowsy again. Half asleep through the dawn.When he opened his eyes again, Mr. Lan Jing, who was sleeping next to him, had already started adding scallops to the round pot.

After finishing this movement steadily, Bai Cang said to Mu Ye: "Have you seen a white whale?"

Just as Mu Ye was about to answer, he found that he had never seen any other whales in the sea other than Mr. Blue Whale.He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I, I dreamed of a white whale..."

The delicious aroma slowly floated out from the slit left on the top of the round pot. Bai Cang was silent for a while before giving Mu Ye the answer: "There will be."

Mu Ye was stunned for a moment.

"There may be beluga whales in zoos with pools." Bai Cang patiently explained to Mu Ye, "They are kept in captivity for viewing or performing."

Zoo and circus performances may interest many people, but Mu Ye is definitely not among them.He couldn't help but frown slightly: "But they shouldn't be locked in the pool..."

The silvery round bowl is filled with more than half of the sticky rice porridge, and the aroma of the fresh food is also wrapped in every grain of glutinous rice during the cooking process.Mu Ye stretched out his hand to take the rice porridge that Bai Cang handed over, and after thanking him, he stared blankly for a while, until the man put the small silver spoon in his hand, and then said with a little worry: "Moby Whale it ...will they be sad?"

Bai Cang stared at him, with a gentleness in his tone that never disappeared: "If there is someone he likes, it won't be sad."

Mr. Blue Whale is always so powerful, he can easily erase the panic in his heart with a single sentence.

Mu Ye drank a mouthful of rice porridge, biting the spoon, thinking silently.

The slow-cooked porridge tasted as good as it smelled. After listening to Mr. Lanjing's explanation, Mu Ye, who was a little happier, drank another half a bowl.A small pot cooked three servings of Mu Ye's meal, and after Mr. Lan Jing coaxed him to fill another half bowl, Mu Ye signaled that he had enough.

When he was slowly eating half a bowl of rice porridge and large chunks of shrimp meat, Bai Cang also quickly finished the remaining half.In fact, Mu Ye didn't know much about Bai Cang's appetite. Judging by the size of the blue whale, no matter how much human food he ate, he couldn't get enough.But during these days of getting along, Bai Cang only prepares meals for two each time, and he eats only a little more than Mu Ye. From the perspective of others, it is absolutely impossible to see the difference between him and normal humans.

Mu Ye thought about it for a while, and after coming to the beach, Mr. Blue Whale took full control of every meal.Before coming to the beach, the boy was worried about whether his unskilled fishing skills could support him.But in fact, until now, Mu Ye's unskilled fishing skills have not come in handy.

If there is a chance to go back to the forest, Mu Ye also hopes to make some food for Bai Cang.Mu Ye once asked before that food from land can also be eaten by men.

Although Mr. Blue Whale is very powerful and doesn't seem to be affected by things like eating, Mu Ye still hopes that he can give the best things to his best companion beast.
