Once on the boat, the sea turtle first stuck its head out, looked around with its little eyes, and then stretched out its hands and feet, crawling a few steps on the boat.
"Ah Wan, are you alright?"
Fu Liang was almost scared to death. Those few killer whales, his girl was really too brave.
Fu Wan waved her hand. Now that she was ashore, she felt a chill of fear, and she was covered in sweat.
The sea turtle crawled two steps and reached Fu Wan's side, then stopped moving next to her.
Should we take this sea turtle back with us?
Fu Liang was in a dilemma. It was the rule in their area not to catch sea turtles, but they had been out for so long and hadn't caught a single fish yet.
Fu Wan shook her head, picked up the sea turtle, and examined it.
The turtle's shell had some cracks, and there were several small wounds on its limbs and head.
"Are there any hemostatic drugs on board?"
Fu Wan was less familiar with the ship than Fu Liang was. Sure enough, Fu Liang pulled a small box out from under the steering wheel and took out a small jar from it.
"Don't move, I'll apply the medicine for you."
Fu Wan patted the turtle's shell, then carefully applied some medicine to the sea turtle.
The sea turtle was quite cooperative, remaining motionless while Fu Wan tossed and turned.
Fu Liang was somewhat envious. "Awan, this sea turtle is so intelligent."
Fu Wan nodded. "This is the second time I've saved it. It probably remembers me."
"Why don't we give it a name? Maybe we'll run into it again someday."
Yes, we'll meet again if fate allows. There's still a long fishing season ahead, and having something to look forward to in the sea will make the days ahead even more meaningful.
"Wealth and honor, shall we call you Wealth and Honor?"
"Fugui, what a good name, it suits this sea turtle very well."
Fugui stared with his small eyes and shook his head as if to express his agreement.
"Brother Liang, the boat has docked. Let's lower the trap first!"
Fu Liang nodded in agreement and then went to get the ground cage.
Just then, the orca, seemingly out of nowhere, returned and swam straight toward their boat.
"Awan, the orcas are here again!"
"What should we do? I'll go and start the boat!"
"Brother Liang, no need."
Fu Wan felt her eyes were playing tricks on her; why did it look like the orca had something in its mouth?
As the orcas drew closer, Fu Wan finally saw what was in their mouths—it was a manta ray.
Her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly called out to Fu Liang.
"Brother Liang, hurry up and get into the cabin!"
Good heavens, has this orca come to repay a debt of gratitude?
They actually know what manta rays are!
But considering the strength of an orca, if it gets pricked by the stingray's spines, it'll end up like its older brother, lying at home in bed.
It's not worth the risk!
As the two hurriedly entered the cabin, they forgot about the small boat's newest member—the sea turtle Fugui.
Fugui clung to his limbs, desperately crawling towards the cabin.
I really will thank you.
Before long, the whale was almost in front of the ship.
"Slap, slap, slap!"
With several loud bangs, several manta rays were forcefully spat onto the deck at the bow of the ship by the orca.
"Uh-huh!"
After a few more calls, Fu Wan whistled at them and gestured, "You'd better hurry up and leave, it's getting dark!"
Good heavens, Fu Liang doesn't dare to go out unless they leave.
The orcas made a few more "mmm" sounds, and then swam away.
Fu Wan then took the knife and went with Fu Liang to the bow of the boat to clean up the mess.
"Put these thorns in a separate bucket, and be careful not to get pricked."
Fu Wan gave a few instructions and then began to clean up the stingray.
"Pfft, pfft!"
A strange noise rang out, which puzzled Fu Wan.
"Where did that sound come from?"
Fu Liang was engrossed in his work when he shook his head.
"puff!"
Fu Wan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sea turtle half a meter away from her and a small puddle of water under its mouth.
"Fugui, did you throw up?"
Fu Gui's small eyes revealed no emotion, and he spat out another mouthful of water with a "pfft".
Fu Liang looked at him in surprise, "Fu Gui, you're not imitating the orca spitting out fish just now, are you?"
This time, Fugui didn't vomit; he shrank back, looking somewhat embarrassed.
That's really strange.
There were four manta rays in total. Fu Liang and Fu Wan each cut off half of them, removing the spines, and then put them in a bucket with ice.
"I'll set the fish traps, then eat something. After that, I'll go down into the sea to take a look."
Fu Liang had no objection. The two of them placed six fish traps in the trench and covered them with seaweed, planning to collect them when they returned in the morning.
After the fish traps were released, Fu Wan took out the flatbread that Ye Xiaocui had prepared, and Fu Liang also took out a few cornbreads that his mother had prepared.
The two of them ate a little something, and seeing how much they enjoyed their meal, Fugui slowly crawled over to Fu Wan and put his front paws on her feet.
Fu Wan was speechless.
Brother, you're a sea turtle, not a dog.
The way it begs for food is just like the village dogs.
Fu Liang, on the other hand, was amused by it and broke off a small piece of his steamed bun and threw it in front of it.
Fugui swallowed the cornbread in one gulp, chewed it for a moment, then suddenly stopped, staring at it with his small eyes as if he couldn't understand. Then, with a "pfft," he spat it out.
"Hey, why are you wasting food!"
Fu Liang was a little unhappy. The cornbread was quite delicious, but this extravagance was outrageous.
Fu Gui seemed not to hear, his two small eyes glaring at Fu Wan again, his hands resting on Fu Wan's feet.
Fu Wan's pancakes were made by Ye Xiaocui using wheat flour, eggs, and scallions, with a little lard added. Naturally, they were incredibly fragrant.
Fu Wan tore off a piece and threw it to the dog. Unexpectedly, the dog swallowed it whole, smacked its lips, and then glared at Fu Wan.
Wow, you're practically a spirit!
Fu Wan was surprised, and Fu Liang was also shocked.
They even know which one tastes better!
The egg pancake contained oil and salt, and Fu Wan didn't know if the sea turtle could eat these things, so she tore off a small piece and threw it to it.
Finally, he quickly divided the piece in his hand in two, giving one half to Fu Liang and eating the other half himself.
She had already eaten dinner before coming out, so she wasn't very hungry.
Fu Liang is a man, so naturally he can eat anything.
After the two of them had nothing left, Fugui stared at them resentfully for a long time, then silently stuffed the cornbread he had just spat out back into his mouth and swallowed it with a smacking sound.
This is really something else!
Fu Liang is also a kind-hearted young man. He then took out half a steamed bun from his bag, tore it into several small pieces, and placed them in front of Fu Gui.
"My mom just put some salt and cornmeal in this cornbread, nothing else. Fugui should be able to eat it!"
Fugui continued to eat them one after another, but each time it would chew for a while before swallowing.
They were probably choking.
It was already dark, and the moon had come out. Fu Liang lit the kerosene lamp, and Fu Wan prepared to go into the sea.
"Fugui, wait until the medicine dries before you go back. Stay put!"
After saying that, she jumped into the sea with a splash, but immediately surfaced and climbed back onto the boat.
"Brother Liang, hurry, cast the net!"
I don't know if it's because the killer whale left and the danger was gone, or if the blood from when we were dealing with the manta ray flowed into the sea.
Just below the bow of their boat, there were countless fish!
