"Father, did you have a good haul?"
Boss Fu didn't keep her in suspense and directly handed her the bucket in his hand.
"Stone grouper!"
It's a grouper, isn't it? There are a few larger tiger stripes and two rat stripes weighing a pound or two.
Fu Laoda looked regretful. "We're still too late. There's a grouper weighing over a pound in this cage, and it's already rotten."
Fu Wan also felt it was a pity, as this grouper could be worth a lot of money.
But since it already smells so bad, it's definitely not safe to keep.
Since it was uncertain whether they would be able to set sail tomorrow, Boss Fu took the fish trap back, intending to take it back to repair it.
Several places have been carved with large holes by the rocks.
Who knows, maybe a few big fish got away!
Seeing that Fu Wan had caught most of a bucket of octopus, Boss Fu was overjoyed.
"Go back, go back! Your mother and the others are probably waiting at the dock!"
Fu Wan nodded quickly, and the two hurriedly boarded the boat.
Boss Fu started the diesel engine with the crank and went to take the helm.
Not long after the boat set sail, Fu Wan and Boss Fu spotted a great white shark rolling in the sea not far away, with several killer whales swimming around it and occasionally letting out the calls of the killer whales.
"It's those killer whales!"
After looking for a while, Fu Wan finally spotted the baby killer whale not far away. It had grown quite a bit since she last saw it.
The baby killer whale seemed to have spotted Fu Wan's boat at that moment. It swam over from a distance, flapped its tail, and a round thing flew onto the deck.
Fu Wan had already hidden in the innermost part of the enclosure. Only after the orca made two more soft cries did Fu Wan go out to look.
It was a sea turtle!
This sea turtle was clearly not the Fugui we had encountered before. It glanced at Fu Wan twice and then scurried away in fright.
As it turned out, Fu Wan had piled up fishing nets next to it. After the sea turtle crawled into them, the more it struggled, the more chaotic it became, eventually tying itself up tightly.
Fu Wan was almost laughing with joy.
That little killer whale was quite the street urchin, thoroughly enjoying teasing the sea turtle.
Fu Wan is a kind-hearted person, and besides, the sea turtle is a nationally protected animal.
She rushed forward to rescue the sea turtle, when suddenly a thumping sound came from the stern of the boat.
Boss Fu had already slowed the boat down. There was an orca ahead, and he didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that the orca would get too excited and capsize his boat.
Fu Wan took a bamboo pole with a net attached to it and went to the stern of the boat. The knocking sound—no, the knocking on the boat—was quite familiar.
Sure enough, when she put the net into the seawater, she scooped up a large sea turtle.
Look at the patterns on his back and the various wounds on his legs.
It's certain that they will be wealthy and powerful.
Fu Gui and Fu Wan released it from the net, and it proudly surveyed the deck.
It hadn't crawled more than a few steps when it saw another sea turtle struggling in the net.
Fu Wan felt truly embarrassed; she could even see reproach in Fu Gui's small, green eyes.
No, I really didn't tie it up!
Fu Wan quickly rescued the sea turtle, and Fu Gui, unafraid of strangers, went up and started shoving at it.
As it turned out, the sea turtle was no pushover either; it opened its mouth and bit Fugui's neck, and it took a long time for them to separate.
Boss Fu turned off the engine and went to the back of the boat, only to find that two sea turtles had somehow gotten on his boat.
"These all look like hawksbill turtles?"
Fu Wan wasn't very familiar with the different species of sea turtles, but she was very familiar with the word "hawksbill turtle."
That's a death sentence!
Hawksbill turtles are a Class II protected animal in China because of their brightly colored and beautiful shells. Many people like to collect them, and the shells are also very valuable gemstones that can be used to make various kinds of jewelry.
Because hawksbill turtles swim slowly and are highly valuable, many people capture them to kill them and steal their shells. Some even capture hawksbill turtles to make specimens, which is extremely cruel.
Hawksbill turtles should now be classified as a Class II protected animal in China, but for the villagers of Fujia Village, not catching any sea turtles is a rule passed down from their ancestors.
Boss Fu took a liking to the two sea turtles, but he also knew that no matter how much he liked them, he was already very lucky to be able to see live hawksbill turtles.
It should be noted that by 1960, hawksbill turtles had already become extinct in the coastal waters of China and were classified as a Class I endangered protected animal.
However, Boss Fu had seen his daughter feeding the sea turtles dry food last time, and there happened to be some unseasoned biscuits left over from lunch.
He took out the biscuits, tore them into pieces, and placed them on the deck. Another sea turtle was puzzled, but Fugui was quite adept at it, directly approaching and eating them one by one, enjoying himself immensely.
Fu Wan had just collected a lot of small fish and shrimp that were caught in the fishing net. She threw the live ones back into the sea and took out several handfuls of the dead ones and put them on the deck.
The sea turtle was probably hungry, because it saw the small pile of fish and shrimp on the deck and started eating them.
"That's great!"
Boss Fu stood to the side watching the two sea turtles eat, while Fu Wan regretted that there was no camera or smartphone at the moment.
If we take a picture of this, we can show it to Fu Ling and the others when we get back. After all, who knows when we'll meet again?
"Ah Wan, you named that sea turtle Fugui?"
Fu Wan nodded, and Boss Fu stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Then how about we name this one 'Blooming Flower'?"
He, Boss Fu, was one of the people who named the hawksbill turtle!
Fu Wan almost grinned from ear to ear at her father's words, "Flowers bloom in wealth and honor," what an extraordinary name!
After the sea turtles had finished eating, the father and daughter prepared to send them back into the sea.
Fu Wan looked up to look for the group of killer whales, fearing that the two sea turtles would be sent back as soon as they were returned!
It would have been better if they hadn't looked, because they saw the little killer whale leap out of the water with its mouth wide open, and the waves it created even made their boat rock several times.
"Uh-huh!"
Fu Wan was about to say that the little orca was playing again when she realized that the sound was obviously wrong. It was the same sound as when they had asked Fu Wan to help them untangle the fishing nets before.
Fu Wan quickly blew her whistle, and the baby killer whale paused for several seconds before swimming rapidly toward their boat.
Boss Fu then ran to start the diesel engine, ready to set sail at full speed and escape if anything went wrong.
But it's actually not very useful; no matter how fast the boat goes, it's probably no match for the creatures in the sea.
The baby killer whale seemed to know its own strength, and immediately slowed down when it reached the boat.
It poked its head out of the water and made several "uh-uh" sounds at Fu Wan.
His voice clearly carried a sense of urgency and unease.
Fu Wan reached out to touch its head, and it immediately opened its mouth wide towards Fu Wan's hand.
"Ah Wan, quickly put your hand back!"
Fu Lao Da shouted, which startled Fu Wan, who quickly patted the little orca's head.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, what's wrong?"
The orca continued to moan and desperately opened its mouth wide towards Fu Wan.
