Upon hearing this, Fu Wan quickly took the notebook from Bai Qianzhou's hand, but as she casually flipped through it, a folded piece of white paper fell out.
"What's this?"
If she remembered correctly, this wasn't originally in the notebook.
Bai Qianzhou picked up the white paper from the ground and explained, "This is what I translated. I specifically found another piece of paper to write it down, just in case it affects the original content."
That makes perfect sense, and Fu Wan couldn't help but give him an admiring look.
However, she was soon shocked by what was written on the blank paper.
She couldn't understand those scribbled symbols before, but Bai Qianzhou's translation was in Chinese characters that she could understand.
According to Bai Qianzhou's translation, this notebook contains clues for finding something.
It records that the islanders passed through this sea area when they surrendered and withdrew from China.
They had hidden some things at the bottom of the sea, and the strange symbols that Fu Wan saw before were actually information about where those things were hidden.
Considering the commotion Xue Qing and Jiu Jingxiong had caused before, Fu Wan guessed that from the beginning they probably just wanted to select people to go to the sea to find the things left behind by the islanders.
However, they were too arrogant and didn't take the creatures of the sea seriously. In the end, for various reasons, Kujiro died because of a great white shark, and Xue Qing was harassed and has been in a mess ever since, never setting foot in those waters again.
But by a twist of fate, the notebook ended up in his hands, and coincidentally, Bai Qianzhou knew Japanese, so he translated it.
In the vast expanse of the sky, it seemed as if something from the deep sea was calling them to find themselves and then see the light of day again.
"Ah Wan, look at the directions on this. Can you identify which sea area this is?"
Bai Qianzhou hasn't left the sea since the last time he went out to sea with someone.
Although there were quite a few people in the camp who knew about sea maps, he thought it was better if as few people as possible knew about this.
Even if he were to report it, he would have to consult Fu Wan first, since she was the one who discovered the notebook.
Fu Wan held Bai Qianzhou's translation and carefully compared it with the drawings in her notebook. Fu Laoda and Fu Ming also came over to help identify it.
"Due south, 100 meters to the right of the island... wait, why does the distance between these two islands look so familiar?"
Boss Fu muttered to himself, pointing to the island markings on the map, and then began to imagine the location of the sea area by following the route on the map.
"These are Coconut Island and Swallow's Nest Island."
Fu Wan was awakened by Boss Fu's words and immediately blurted out.
"Look, this area is around Coconut Island. If you drive southeast for about half an hour, you'll be almost at Swallow's Nest Island."
And the place they marked the treasure was right in the middle of the two islands.
Fu Wan gestured to show them. According to this logic, their fishing boat had passed over that treasure trove at least dozens of times, but they never expected that there was another world hidden in the seabed!
"Ah Wan, shall we go out to sea and take a look?"
"I'm not after the treasure," Boss Fu said in a deep voice. "I just want to know what's down there that makes those Japanese soldiers come to this area every day."
And those two torpedoes that were discovered earlier, could they also be related to what's down there? Otherwise, why would these foreign devils get involved and cause trouble time and time again?
Fu Wan also thought of this. After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "It's already evening. Why don't I go out to sea to take a look first thing tomorrow morning?"
The weather forecast tonight says the typhoon has passed, and tomorrow should be a sunny day.
"Okay, then I'll go down with you tomorrow."
Just as Fu Ming was about to say something, Fu Laoda glared at him and cut him off.
"Dad...I want to go too."
"Where are you going? This is a serious matter, not something to joke about. You just wait on the boat. I'll go down with Awan. If I can't handle it, you can take over."
Boss Fu had his reasons for making these arrangements. Although he was getting on in years, he was still a good swimmer. Besides, who knew how deep it was down there, or what kind of situations they might encounter?
Fu Ming was still a greenhorn with little experience. He and his daughter went downstairs to see where they could help.
"That's a pity, I can't go."
Bai Qianzhou said with a regretful expression that there were many missions at the camp recently, and he was only able to come over during his spare time, taking advantage of dinner. After dinner, he would have to rush back to the camp.
"Alright, now that we've agreed on everything, let's start eating!"
Ye Xiaocui watched as these people chatted away, but she didn't say a word.
Seeing that they had made their decision, he quickly invited everyone to eat.
The food was prepared beforehand, but it's gotten a bit cold now. Luckily, the temperature isn't too high, so it's okay to eat it as is.
After dinner, Bai Qianzhou hurriedly returned to the camp. The Fu family members were discussing their sea voyage the next day when they heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Boss, sister-in-law, are you there?!"
"Ah Wan, Ah Ming!"
Fu San's voice was loud and urgent, and Fu Ming quickly ran out to open the courtyard gate.
"Third Uncle, what's wrong?"
Judging from Fu San's appearance, he had clearly run all the way here.
Upon seeing that the Fu family was all there, Fu San, without even wiping the sweat from his face, hurriedly said, "Quick, there's an orca stranded on the beach!"
What?! An orca is stranded?!
Fu Wan immediately thought of the baby killer whale and rushed out without saying a word.
Orcas stranding is a serious matter. Although they are mammals, they still need to live in the sea. If they are dehydrated for a long time, their lives are in danger.
Thinking back on their time with the orcas, the Fu family had long considered them as their own family.
"Ah Wan, wait! Go get the bucket!"
Boss Fu quickly picked up the buckets next to him and hurried after Fu Wan.
At the same time, he turned around and shouted, "Amin, go borrow some buckets from next door!"
The buckets were used to continuously pour seawater onto the orca. Although it was a drop in the ocean, it was the most direct and fastest way to save the orca at present.
Fu Wan ran towards the beach at almost her fastest speed, the wind blowing past her ears, her heart pounding wildly.
At the same time, she had only one thought in her mind: Please don't let it be a baby killer whale!
Call her selfish or biased, but the baby killer whale was incredibly intelligent and understanding. And it was so young; if it were healthy, it could have lived happily in the sea for a long time.
And so, when she reached the beach, she spotted the orca in the crowd from afar.
Because that thing looked really big.
At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't a baby killer whale.
A number of villagers had gathered around the orca, as it was evening and everyone liked to stroll along the beach after dinner.
Seeing that something had happened, they naturally gathered around.
"Master Fu's daughter, Awan, has arrived!"
"What good is it if Awan comes? We need Boss Fu to come!"
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and one or two experienced middle-aged people even poured water on the orca.
The orca looked very listless, and didn't react at all when water was poured on it.
When Fu Wan ran over, the orca didn't even open its eyes, appearing completely lifeless.
Fu Wan's eyes instantly stung with tears. Although it wasn't a baby killer whale, she couldn't give it up.
"Auntie, how long has this orca been stranded?"
