Chapter 400 The Finless Porpoise's Gift



"Okay, I'll go by myself. You should go back now!"

Fu Wan patted the little orca's head. With their parting imminent, she couldn't help but start nagging.

"Don't just wander around like a whale in the ocean. If you see a great white shark or something you can't beat, run away quickly. Humans aren't all good either, so don't be silly and get caught."

And don't eat those things indiscriminately, especially stay away from fishing nets, understand?

"Waaah!"

Fu Wan didn't know if the guy understood or not. At this moment, she was at most fifty meters away from her own boat. Fortunately, there were hardly any fishing boats on the sea at this time, and she and the little killer whale were submerged in the water, so no one could see them.

Otherwise, if someone were to discover that the orca was carrying a person on its back, it would likely become big news when it returned.

Fu Wan felt a little embarrassed that the little orca had worked so hard for so long, but at the moment she had nothing else in her hands except a bag of rhinoceros shrimp.

"Would you like some of these shrimp?"

She waved the net containing the rhinoceros shrimp in front of the baby killer whale, and to her surprise, the baby killer whale shook its head and looked disgusted.

What is this thing? I won't eat it!

Well, Fu Wan had no choice. "Then I'll see if I can bring you anything else to try next time."

Rabbits and old hens, I wonder if killer whales would eat them.

Fu Wan was amused by her own thought process, and then patted the little orca to say goodbye.

Goodbye, let's hang out again next time.

To be honest, it was quite fun following the baby killer whale as it darted around in the sea.

It seems that Boss Fu is not trawling the net at this moment, but is driving at a very slow speed. On the way back, Fu Wanyou also encountered two parrotfish weighing two or three pounds each. She couldn't resist and waded towards the fish with the net. By the time the parrotfish realized what was happening, they were already trapped in the net.

This method is really a matter of luck, but Fu Wan didn't bring a harpoon or speargun with her today, so it's just a makeshift solution.

Of course, she didn't let go of any larger cat's eye snails or scallops she saw along the way. Picking them up here and there, she finally made it back to the vicinity of her own fishing boat.

"Big brother, come help me carry something!"

The ship was still moving, and Fu Wan couldn't get onto the deck, so she could only shout loudly for Fu Ming and the others.

As it turned out, Fu Ming, being deaf, simply didn't hear it. It was Ye Lin and Boss Fu who realized something was wrong and quickly told Fu Liang to stop the boat.

"Ah Wan, come up quickly!"

Fu Laoda reached out his hand to Fu Wan. Not long after Fu Wan went into the water, he switched places with Fu Liang and then waited for his daughter to return while fishing on the deck.

Fu Wan handed him two or three nets before preparing to climb onto the deck.

But as soon as she made a move, she felt something bump into her.

She glanced over instinctively and was surprised to find it was the same group of finless porpoises from before.

Goodness, she hadn't even noticed when these guys had followed her.

If she were run over by a ship, she would be a sinner!

"How did you get here?"

Fu Wan patted the head of the lead finless porpoise. Finless porpoises and dolphins have something in common: smiling lips.

So no matter how Fu Wan looked at it, she felt that it was smiling at her.

"You'd better leave now, don't linger by the boat. It's too dangerous!"

"See those boats trawling? Nets, dangerous! Stay far away!"

While talking to them, Fu Wan didn't forget to use gestures, just in case these guys couldn't understand.

Unexpectedly, after the finless porpoises bleated several times, the injured baby finless porpoise suddenly emerged from the water.

Not only that, it even had something in its mouth.

No wonder I didn't see the injured finless porpoise earlier; it was hiding in the water.

"Ah Wan, why aren't you coming up yet?"

Boss Fu put the net aside, and before he even had a chance to look at what was inside, he pulled Fu Wan back.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed the little finless porpoise delivering something.

"Holy crap, red coral!"

Fu Wan couldn't quite make out what it was; she only thought it was a palm-sized red stone, and it felt quite heavy in her hand. Similar small red stones were also seen in the picture, and the picture shows a living red coral. She wondered where this little guy had gotten it from.

Seeing that Fu Wan had accepted the gifts, and that Fu Laoda, a new face, had appeared on the boat, the finless porpoises immediately dived into the water, then disappeared into the water after a few bleats.

Fu Wan didn't even have time to examine what she was holding before Boss Fu pulled her onto the deck.

Whatever it is, let's get on the boat first.

"Ah Wan, hurry up and go change your clothes and dry your hair."

Fu Laoda pushed Fu Wan towards the cabin. Ye Xiaocui and the others were picking out fish on the deck. When they saw Fu Wan return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah Wan, you're finally back! It's been three hours."

"Yeah, we were so worried! If we didn't know you were such a good swimmer, your dad would be jumping up and down on this deck!"

Fu Wan smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know how much time was spent at sea, and I made everyone worry."

"What are you worried about? Go change your clothes!"

Ye Xiaocui urged her on, and Fu Wan quickly went into the cabin, changed into clean clothes, and then took a dry towel to dry her hair.

Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were still fast asleep on the iron bed in the cabin. Fu Wan's movements after changing her clothes and drying her hair did not wake the two children.

While drying her hair, Fu Wan took out the red stone that she had just placed on the shelf.

It was entirely red with faint traces of coral, but due to years of seawater washing, it even felt somewhat smooth to the touch.

What exactly was the gift that the baby finless porpoise brought?

Fu Wan frowned as she recalled the red coral that Boss Fu had just mentioned.

In her mind, red corals were like small trees, but this thing in front of her, which looked no different from a stone, was actually coral?

Fu Wan thought about it and put the thing away. Regardless of anything else, this thing didn't look like a living creature like those on a coral reef. She would keep it for now and ask Boss Fu about it when no one was around.

If all else fails, we can take him to ask Feng Ji or Master Ning in the capital.

Thinking this, Fu Wan stuffed the item into her cloth bag. Before boarding the ship, they would pack some clothes to change into, so everyone had a cloth bag to carry their clothes.

After placing the stone, Fu Wan then stepped out of the cabin.

When Fu Wan came out, Boss Fu wanted to ask something, but he held back.

"Ah Wan, where did you catch these rhinoceros shrimp?"

To be honest, Fu Wan didn't know which sea area it was, so she could only say to her father, "I saw it right next to the coral reef, Dad. Is this thing valuable?"

"Valuable? Of course it's valuable! Decades ago, a single rhinoceros shrimp could be exchanged for ten pounds of flour!"
