Chapter 510 Another 52 Hertz Whale in the World
Chu Qingmian held two rabbit dolls with a satisfied look on her face.
This is the prize after winning the knowledge contest. The student in charge of recording carried a large bag of small dolls, but it seems that none of them have been given away.
So Chu Qingmian got the right to pick two favorite dolls from there.
She didn’t rummage around, but just grabbed the inconspicuous round jackrabbit toy in the corner by its ears.
The two furries were so close together that at first glance they thought they were real rabbits.
"Classmate, is it okay if I want these two?"
"Yes, okay!"
The reporter nodded hurriedly and continued:
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you take away this bag. I guess we won't find anyone willing to be interviewed."
"No, no, no."
Chu Qingmian shook her head, smiled and encouraged:
"Actually, I think your question bank is very interesting. Do you want to change your mind? As long as you are willing to participate You can get a small gift for free by testing it.”
She picked up a toy and hung it on the belt of her school bag.
“And it will be more attractive to show it to everyone this way!”
The three interviewers looked at each other and thought this was a good idea.
Otherwise, if they never get a chance to give away the cute dolls they worked so hard to buy from the small commodity market, they will end up piled up in the dormitory, wasting space.
It’s better to give it away and attract more attention.
After this battle, the trio regained their fighting spirit. After thanking the two of them, they headed towards the area with the most people at the welcome party with great vigour.
Miss Chu also got her favorite little doll as she wished.
Of course, she took away the prize from another contestant, but he just didn't care.
"Su Chengyi, have you ever heard the story of the little white rabbit and the little gray rabbit?"
"Yes."
Su Chengyi replied while changing In the position of holding a cat, Persimmon was sleeping soundly on his arm.
“What am I going to do if I haven’t heard of it?”
Chu Qingmian realized halfway through her words that this person didn't follow the flow of the plot.
Su Chengyi looked at her surprised expression and continued:
"Then have you ever heard the story of a smart person saying yes and a little fool saying no?"
" No."
Miss Chu shook her head innocently.
It was a very obvious trap question, but the eldest lady fell into it stupidly.
Su Chengyi suppressed a smile and said "Oh".
After reacting, Chu Qingmian said "Ouch" and stamped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
The next few tricks she racked her brains to come up with were all revealed by Su Chengyi in a second, so it could be said that she had no power to fight back.
While chatting and laughing, the two of them had already circled the boulevard. Opposite was the welcome party, which was a grand event with noisy gongs and drums.
Su Chengyi's feet immediately stopped disobediently.
For some reason, his intuition told him that there must be nothing good going on at this time.
Chu Qingmian saw his hesitation and simply stopped and pointed to the sports equipment area next to the playground.
“Shall we sit there for a while?”
“Okay.”
The angle of the sun was just right at the moment, and the huge shadows cast by the trees completely obscured that area.
On weekdays, many people would gather there to rest, but today they were probably attracted by the orientation party.
Chu Qingmian ran forward excitedly. This was the first time she had grabbed a seat on the swing here since she came to college!
Congratulations!
She happily sat on the swing, the bottom of her skirt lifted slightly, and the girl's slender legs were white and eye-catching in the sun.
Su Chengyi walked up behind her and gave her a little push.
The swing swayed a little louder, and Chu Qingmian clutched the chain a little nervously, as if she didn't feel safe.
Su Chengyi noticed her discomfort in time, so she gently held the chain, controlled the shaking and stabilized it, and sat down on another swing next to her.
September has arrived, the temperature of the sun is no longer so annoying, and the sky is a comfortable blue tone.
The breath of the wind and the shape of the clouds all indicate that the end of summer has arrived.
Chu Qingmian looked down at the grass on the lawn that was a little twisted by the footsteps of pedestrians, and suddenly smiled for no reason.
“What are you laughing at?”
Su Chengyi looked at the crowded and busy crowd in the distance and asked casually.
Actually, he was not really curious about what the eldest lady was laughing at. She always loved to laugh. In her eyes, there were many things in the world that made people happy and laugh.
The two of them were sitting on the swing, and it was difficult for the crowd on the other side to notice them. Their silence was in contrast to the noise across the street, like two completely different worlds. The atmosphere was so divided that it seemed like there was a layer of irremovable one-way glass between them.
But Su Cheng thought that he was born to stay in this world.
A beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth, the only cool and shaded area under the sun, a swaying swing, and a little fat orange sleeping soundly in her arms.
Chu Qingmian actually didn't know what she was laughing at, but she just thought it would be nice to spend time doing nothing if she stayed with Su Chengyi, even if she didn't do anything.
Her life exists just to waste time like this.
Of course, Miss Chu will not answer truthfully.
She thought for a while and started her best literary nonsense.
“Where can I see whales this season?”
“This month? You can see them in many places, but the species you can see are different.”
Su Chengyi did not question whether she was really thinking about this, but just followed her question and answered:
"The Hualien Fishing Port on Baodao is closest to us, and there are many killer whales there."
"There are humpback whales and white-beaked dolphins in Faksafroj Bay near Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland."
"Sperm whales can be seen year-round in Kaikoura, New Zealand's South Island, with luck If it's particularly good, you might be able to see the largest living creature on earth, the blue whale."
When Su Chengyi talked about this, he was like the commentator of "Animal World" without any extra emotion.
Chu Qingmian listened to him and unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth. After a while, she suddenly turned her head and asked him.
“Hey, classmate Su Chengyi, the encyclopedia who knows everything, do you know Alice the Whale?”
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi nodded.
Because whales need a huge amount of food, they tend to migrate with the migration of plankton in the sea. This leads to the fact that if most whales want to communicate with their own kind over a longer distance, they need to transmit sound waves.
The normal vocal frequency of whales is between 15-25 Hz, but there is only one exception. Its cry is as high as 52 Hz, which means that no one of its kind can hear its sound.
After humans discovered it, they named it "Alice" and called it "the loneliest whale in the world."
"Do subsequent studies show that this is true? Is there really such a whale?"
Chu Qingmian continued to ask.
Su Chengyi thought about this question for a while and gave a positive answer.
“Most current scientific research results confirm this conclusion.
Acoustic data from any hydrophone system in the North Pacific basin did not identify other calls with similar characteristics, and each time only A single sequence of calls was recorded, with no overlapping trajectories and neither position nor movement of other whale species showed correlation
From a physiological inference, Alice may be a mixed race or a defective child, which is why it is so special in the end. "
Hearing this, Chu Qingmian sighed softly.
"When I think about it, I feel very lonely and pitiful. "
The shadows cast by her drooping eyelashes were like curtains. Su Chengyi thought for a moment and continued:
"However, it has been to places that its kind has never been before. Records show that it swam from the depths of the Pacific, through the snow-covered Northwest Passage, to the North Atlantic.
If you are in the world of whales, this is a great journey that has never been done before or since. "
"But why does it keep traveling like this. "
Chu Qingmian continued: "If it is just aimless, why is it such an unprecedented route? "
"I think it may be looking for similar people. ”
Su Chengyi finally answered like this.
Although this is most likely a meaning imposed on it by hypocritical humans, this is the best explanation for this phenomenon.
Because this whale is so lonely, singing a song that no one of its kind can understand, walking alone in the ocean from the warm waters of central California to the biting currents of the North Pacific.
“You said you wanted to go whale watching before, just because of this story?”
Su Chengyi raised his fingers and pinched Chu Qingmian’s cheek flesh.
"Yeah."
Chu Qingmian nodded and said with a serious face:
"You may not believe it. When I was a child, I always thought that I might be Alice among humans."
“Because I had so many weird thoughts every day at that time, such as a star that kept talking to me, and aliens disguised as cats and sneaked into the earth.
I said give it When my mother listens, she often looks very unhappy, and after listening she will only ask me: What new words did the language teacher teach you today? ”
"I told my father, but he would just laugh and be perfunctory, and then say that I have such an imagination that I deserve to be his daughter."
"I had no choice but to tell my aunts at home, and they It would be very flattering. But I know they don’t like to hear it, and they don’t understand it. They are thinking about what to cook for dinner.”
“In the end, I had to tell Han Bing. , I think she tried very hard to understand what I was saying, but in the end she just came over and touched my forehead, asking me if I felt dizzy today and if I wanted to take my temperature. "
Chu. Qingmian sighed as she spoke.
Su Chengyi felt as if she had successfully seen how distressed Miss Chu was when she was a cub, and felt pitiful and funny for a moment.
"Finally, I thought, okay, when I talk about these weird things, the sound waves I emit must be 52 Hz."
Chu Qingmian blinked and continued:
"So I hid all these thoughts until later, I met you.
Oh my god, you don't know how excited I was at that time! A guy even more abnormal than me finally appeared ! ”
“.”
Listening to her impassioned tone, Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows dissatisfiedly.
“Am I that weird?”
“Super weird.”
Chu Qingmian’s answer was very firm.
“I don’t think the stars are talking to me. I know the stars can’t talk.”
Su Chengyi retorted ruthlessly.
"You should say this to four-year-old Chu Qingmian! You are the big bad guy who kills the innocence of children!"
Chu Qingmian gave him a watery look, Then he continued:
“Anyway, at that time I thought you were just another 52 Hz whale in the world.”
“So sure?”
"That's why I'm so sure."
Chu Qingmian arched her eyebrows, and there was even a bit of pride in her tone.
It was as proud as if she had successfully found someone of the same kind in the vast sea.
“Although you were very stinky and annoying at that time, and I ignored people when I talked to you, if you said a few words more, it would be like you were out of body!”
“But I just think you are different from others, sooner or later we will meet”
"What will happen?"
"It will be like now, sitting on the swing, talking about Alice's story!"
At this point, Chu Qingmian couldn't help but laugh again.
The dimples at the corners of her mouth were faintly visible, catching the afternoon sun, like a glass of mojito mixed with orange juice.
Seeing such a beautiful smile, Su Chengyi felt inexplicably good.
It's so good that you can float above the clouds.
Maybe what she said is not completely unreasonable.
The lonely boy who single-handedly isolates the whole world does not know that there is a weird girl who pretends to be gregarious and has been quietly observing him.
“So, Su Chengyi, come watch the whales with me!”
Chu Qingmian jumped off the swing, and did not forget to carefully put the little white rabbit and the little rabbit in her arms. The gray rabbit put him on the swing, and then took his hand enthusiastically.
It was as if the princess vowed to hold the knight's hand and loudly announced that she would abandon the engagement in the kingdom and elope with him.
“Now?”
Su Chengyi asked slowly.
“.”
After being asked this question, Chu Qingmian’s momentum quickly faded.
School has just started in September, and a lot of things are coming one after another. Not to mention, there are also the responsibilities of Xingxing and entertainment.
The most important thing is that Wei Peilan is still in China during this period, and she will definitely not be allowed to sneak out and play around!
"Idiot. There will definitely be a chance to go this year."
Su Chengyi reached out and flicked her forehead, pulling her out of her frustration and annoyance.
“Will you really accompany me?”
Chu Qingmian looked into his eyes and asked.
"Yes."
"You have to promise."
"I promise."
Su Chengyi reviewed in his mind what he had just sorted out The best place to watch whales all over again.
If you want to go, there are indeed many choices, and it is not a difficult thing.
It’s guaranteed, right?
"Then tell me a story to make it up to me."
Chu Qingmian grabbed his wrist and squatted down, looking up at him and smiling.
You have a coquettish and coquettish air of not getting up if you don’t tell me.
"What to make up for?"
"To make up for what you just said that the stars can't talk."
Chu Qingmian said nonsense seriously.
Su Chengyi looked at her bright and expectant eyes, thought for a while, and then said:
"The end of the world is here. All the tigers in the forest melted into butter, and the birds gathered together. Chirping and singing the last hymn together, the whales on the seabed dive like submarines
I took you on the last ark called ALICE, and you said with tears in your eyes that you would repay my life-saving grace with your life. I shook my head and said"
At this point in the story, Su Chengyi paused slightly, and Chu Qingmian opened her eyes, her mind led by him.
"I'm sorry, miss, I'm just a piece of persimmon cake. . "
He smiled and raised the kitten in his hand.
The sleepy persimmon followed with a "meow" in confusion.
Chu Qingmian burst out laughing.
But she felt from the bottom of her heart that this was a very, very romantic story.
Look.
Chu Qingmian thought that she was not wrong at all.
Su Chengyi is another 52 Hz whale in the world.
