Just as another jet of water shot up, the thing in the sea finally popped its head out. Fu Wan burst out laughing when she saw it.
"Hey, isn't that a baby killer whale?"
This guy just swatted Fugui onto the boat with his tail, and then disappeared in a moment. Fu Wan thought he had gone to find the whale pod.
What are you doing here now?
Fu Wan and her group's boat was moored next to the beach. The orca swam around the boat for most of the time, and when it saw that there was no movement from the two-legged creatures on the boat, it became somewhat unhappy.
It spouted water with a "plop" and only poked its head out of the water and looked at the people on the beach when Fu Ming whistled.
"Oh no, why is this baby killer whale heading towards the shore!"
This is suicidal! They're stranded on the beach and can't get back!
Fu Wan put down what she was holding and ran towards the little orca. This guy was acting so strangely today; either he was being playful or something had happened.
If you're being playful, you'll have to slap it when you get to the sea.
Fortunately, Fu Wan ran fast enough that when she reached the sea, the baby orca had just reached the edge of the wave, only a little over a meter away from the sandy beach where there was no water.
When Fu Wan saw its innocent eyes, she immediately became furious.
Ignoring what it was doing, I gently slapped it on the head.
"Are you out of your mind? You dare to swim across the beach?"
We need to teach it a lesson, otherwise, if I'm not around anymore, it might get stranded on some beach and lose its life there.
The orca wasn't angry at being slapped; it just whimpered twice and started to carry Fu Wan on its back.
Fu Wan wasn't wearing her mermaid clothes at this time. Because she had run into the sea, her clothes were immediately soaked and hung heavily on her body, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to change my clothes."
As soon as Fu Wan finished speaking, she started to walk towards the boat, but the orca nudged her with its head, looking anxious.
"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. I'll change my clothes and come right away. I can't swim across with you in these clothes."
Although she doesn't choke on water and can breathe freely underwater, it must be said that wearing a mermaid suit allows her to be as comfortable as a fish in water in the sea.
The baby killer whale, perhaps understanding, stopped nudging her and instead began spouting water restlessly in the sea.
"Ah Wan, what's wrong?"
Boss Fu carried the things onto the boat and saw Fu Wan, who was soaking wet.
"Dad, the little orca seems to be in trouble. I'll change into my sharkskin suit and go out with it to see what's wrong."
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Boss Fu made up his mind and said, "Then we'll sail and follow you."
In the vast ocean, if I follow Fu Wan, she can always come back safely.
If you get tired at sea, you can immediately get on the boat to rest.
Fu Wan nodded in agreement, "Okay, we've gathered enough here. Let's follow the orca out; we might find something new."
These words greatly appealed to Boss Fu, who hurriedly urged Ye Xiaocui and the others to board the boat.
Fu Wan ran into the cabin as fast as she could, changed into her mermaid clothes, and since there was no one around, she simply skipped her outer coat, tied her hair up, and jumped into the sea.
Her hair had been cut quite short before, but it has grown a bit longer in the last few months, so it doesn't obstruct her vision when tied up.
When the baby killer whale heard Fu Wan jump into the sea, it immediately came to her side. Fu Wan skillfully grasped its dorsal fin and sat steadily.
The diesel engine on the boat behind them started up, and Ye Xiaocui and the others acted quickly. As soon as they got on the boat, Boss Fu and Fu Ming started the diesel engine.
"Let's go, little orca, take me to see what happened?"
Fu Wan turned her head and saw that both of her family's boats had started moving, and patted the little orca on the head.
The baby killer whale grunted, then swam faster, carrying Fu Wan in another direction.
That is...
Facing the sea breeze and the constantly surging waves, Fu Wan tried hard to open her eyes and discern the direction. It should be southeast of their Swallow's Nest Island, in the direction of the deep sea.
It seems they haven't trawled in that area yet.
Perhaps because father and daughter were of one mind, Boss Fu turned around and told Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan to throw the trawl net down. Since Fu Wan was not on the boat, Jiang Chunlan boarded Ye Xiaocui's boat, fearing that Ye Xiaocui would be too busy to handle the fish catch.
Fu Liang, who was on the boat behind, quickly pushed the trawl net down as it was time for the extension fishing. They began to reel in the extension fishing line.
If you catch something, collect it and then change the bait and put it back in. If you don't catch anything, check the bait and replenish it as needed.
These are all habitual practices of fishermen when they frequently go out to sea to fish.
Both fishing trips yielded good results. Ye Xiaocui caught more than a dozen yellowfin seabream weighing about one pound each, as well as several medium-sized groupers.
Fu Liang's situation was similar, but he reaped the most single-horned fish.
The single-nosed fish is also called the long-snout fish, and the locals in Fujia Village call it the skin-peeling fish.
As its name suggests, the single-nosed fish has a sharp spine about two or three centimeters long growing in the middle of its eyes, like a sharp horn growing where a nose should be.
The single-nosed fish is generally bluish-gray with a yellowish-brown belly and a pale yellow ring above its eyes, resembling eyeshadow. (Image of a single-nosed fish from Baidu, please delete if infringing copyright). This fish must be eaten fresh; if it dies, it will taste extremely fishy. However, because it's delicious in soup and braised, it's still very popular with locals.
Fu Liang had no one to brag to at the moment. Fu Ming was busy steering the boat, so he could only carefully remove the two or three-pound single-horned fish from the hooks, planning to tell everyone later.
Fu Wan followed the orcas to an unfamiliar sea area, where several orcas were surrounding one of them, making soft, whimpering noises.
When the baby orca sitting beneath Fu Wan cried out, the other orcas swam away, making room for her in the middle.
Fu Wan wiped the seawater off her face and looked closely, only to discover that there was an orca, even smaller than a baby orca, floating on the surface of the sea.
Orcas don't swim like that; this orca calf's behavior is clearly abnormal.
Fu Wan got off the baby orca and swam to the baby orca.
This orca calf was the same size as when she first met the baby orca, and it was at a lively age. Sensing Fu Wan's approach, it seemed a little uneasy and wanted to swim further away.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
The baby orca behind them also let out a sharp cry, as if scolding the orca cub.
The orca cub immediately stopped moving, which gave Fu Wan the opportunity to approach it.
As Fu Wan got closer, she sensed something was wrong. She felt like she had pulled something out of the water. She pulled the object out of the water and discovered that it was a yellow and white fishing net.
Looking at the orca cub, it's no wonder it swam so strangely earlier. A yellowish-white hand-thrown net was caught on its body, and several of them were even caught on its small teeth, causing it to bleed from its mouth.
Who the hell threw this fishing net around like that?!
