As the crowd on the dock slowly dwindled to tiny dots, Ye Lin ran over to Fu Wan and asked, "Wan, my uncle asked me to ask you where you're headed?"
"Where to? Let me think."
This is indeed a problem. It's been a while since we've been out to sea. Not only is Boss Fu struggling with whether to go to the deep sea or visit Coconut Island or Swallow's Nest Island.
Her gaze lingered unconsciously on the shimmering sea. It was nearly six o'clock, and the sun had long since set, leaving only the sea bathed in orange light.
At their current pace, it will take them at least an hour to get to either Swallow's Nest Island or Coconut Island. By then, night will have fallen, and there won't be much point in going to the island.
It would be better to try our luck in the deep sea first, and then go to the island during the day to check the situation.
Thinking this, Fu Wan turned and went to the cockpit to tell Boss Fu her plans. Boss Fu was very pleased to hear this. He actually already had an answer, but he still wanted his daughter to make the decision herself.
After all, he couldn't go to sea with his daughter forever, so he tried to train Fu Wan as much as possible at any time.
"Alright, let's go explore the deep sea then."
Finally, he didn't forget to tell Fu Wan, "Wan, tell your brother and the others to follow behind so they don't make a mistake later."
The nighttime conditions would be even more challenging for the boat's sailing skills. Upon hearing this, Fu Wan grabbed the walkie-talkie from the radio and turned it on.
"Brother, Brother Liang, please keep your distance from our ship and keep sailing along our course. Our destination is the deep sea area."
Shortly after, Fu Ming and Fu Liang's reply came through the radio.
"Received, received. We'll set the trawl net later."
Hearing the replies from the ships behind him, Boss Fu hummed a tune and steered the ship toward the deep sea. He knew there were several trenches in the deep sea and planned to try his luck there.
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Fu Wan simply went into the cabin, closed the door, and prepared to change into her mermaid clothes.
Fu Qing didn't know what it was; she touched it a couple of times and found it slippery. Fang Min, however, recognized it and asked with some surprise, "Awan, it's so cold, are you going into the water?"
"The water isn't cold. I haven't been in the water for days, and I'm about to suffocate."
Fu Wan quickly changed her clothes under the covers, then put on her coat. She hadn't been in the water for almost a month, and she desperately missed the feeling of swimming freely.
Fang Min didn't really understand, but subconsciously she still regarded Fu Wan as her boss, and she blindly followed Fu Wan's decisions.
After changing her clothes, Fu Wan opened the cabin door and went out. Fu Shi and Ye Lin were loading the trawl net, preparing to push it down when they arrived at their destination.
Seeing this, Fu Wan called Fang Min over and asked her to check if there was anything wrong with the hooks and lines for the extended fishing. She then went to find a piece of wood and chopped all the small fish and shrimp she had prepared into small pieces for later use when fishing with the extended line.
After finishing all that, there was still some time before reaching the deep sea area, so Fu Wan simply went back to her room with Fang Min and Fu Qing to take a nap. As for setting the trawl net later, Fu Shi and Ye Lin would take care of that.
Sleeping at sea is a bit shaky, and Fu Wan was woken up by the swaying after dozing off for a while.
She got up, put on her clothes, and went outside. At that moment, all she could see was a vast expanse of white sea. Apart from the constantly rising and falling waves, the seabirds following the stern of the ship, and the two ships, Yangfan Qihang and Xiangqian, following far behind, there was nothing else on the sea.
"Hey, Wan, you're awake?"
Ye Lin emerged from the cockpit, munching on half a radish. Before boarding the ship, Ye Xiaocui had prepared a lot of dishes for them, with radishes and cabbages being the most abundant.
Fu Wan stretched her aching arms and replied, "Yeah, the rocking of the boat is keeping me awake. Brother Lin, has the trawl net been lowered yet?"
"We've already put it down. Ah Shi is taking over from Uncle-in-law to steer the boat. Ah Wan, how about we put the extension line down?"
"Alright."
Without further ado, Fu Wan put on gloves and lifted the bucket containing the bait, while Ye Lin took out the coiled extended fishing line.
He had already gone out to sea many times and was quite skilled at longline fishing. Fu Wan was in charge of baiting the line, while Ye Lin let the line down with the current.
The two worked together seamlessly, and within an hour, both fishing rods were in the water.
After finishing all that, Fu Wan felt warmer. She turned and went to the cabin to find the harpoon and net for going into the sea, preparing to go in.
Of course, before going down, you should talk to the boatman, Fu Shi, and ask him to slow down the boat, otherwise you might get injured if you jump at such a high speed.
Inside the cockpit, Fu Shi was focused on steering the boat when he heard a noise at the door. He turned around and saw Fu Wan carrying a harpoon and flippers, looking like she was about to go into the water.
"Ah Wan, what are you doing, going into the water?"
"Yes, slow down the boat so I can get off."
Fu Shi was shocked. "This water is freezing cold, A-Wan, are you really going to go down?"
Although some people in their village go to sea in winter, they are all young and strong. Fu Wan is a young girl, so she shouldn't catch a cold.
Fu Wan smiled and said, "It's okay, I've been holding back for ages. I'll go down and catch a couple of lobsters for everyone to have as a midnight snack."
"Haha, I'll be waiting!"
These words woke Boss Fu from his sleep, making him drool.
Once his daughter made a decision, she wouldn't change it. Although Fu Wan didn't say it explicitly, Fu Laoda knew in his heart that Fu Wan must have some opportunities after her rebirth.
Otherwise, how could it stay in the sea for so long?
"It's okay, go ahead if you want. Just keep an eye on the time, you'll be up in an hour at most."
"Okay!"
Fu Wan readily agreed. Since Boss Fu had agreed, Fu Shi and Ye Lin naturally couldn't stop them, and immediately slowed down the speed of the "Fully Loaded Return" ship.
Fu Wan put on her flippers at the stern of the boat, then stood at the side of the boat and jumped in with a splash into the sea.
"Holy crap, A-Wan went into the water!?"
Fu Ming was using binoculars to observe the route of the fully loaded ship, and he had to maintain a distance of at least 100 meters from the ship in front of him.
Otherwise, it might affect Boss Fu and his team's net-trapping.
As a result, he saw his own sister in the water.
That brat is really wild! He dared to go into the water in the weather at the end of February.
He'll definitely tell Ye Xiaocui later, and let his mother give her a good talking-to!
Of course, Fu Ming himself also wanted to go into the water, but unfortunately, his father insisted that he follow Chen Balang to learn experience and skills. Otherwise, he would have definitely stayed on the Fully Loaded Return ship.
In that case, maybe I can go into the water with Fu Wan!
Now, all he can do is feel envy, jealousy, and resentment.
When Fu Wan first entered the water, she could still feel a chill, but after getting used to the water temperature for a minute, she could no longer feel the coldness of the seawater.
This is exactly what it means to be like a fish in water. Fu Wan is like a mermaid, eagerly swimming towards the seabed.
Lobster, mantis shrimp, here she comes!
