What is that?!
It even climbed onto its own back!
Just then, a sea breeze blew by, and the seawater was a bit cool, causing the hairs on the back of Fu Ming's neck to stand on end.
Just when he was finally convincing himself that it was his imagination, a large paw slapped down on his shoulder.
Oh my god!
I've heard of water ghosts in rivers, but I've never heard of sea ghosts in the ocean!
Family members on the ship, is anyone going to take care of him? There's still someone in the sea!
Meanwhile, the people on the ship were unaware of Fu Ming's ordeal; they were circling the Eastern Star Spotted Fish, examining it closely. Only Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu seemed to remember something and ran over, leaning over the side of the ship and standing on tiptoe to look down.
"Uncle, why aren't you coming up yet!"
The voice was like heavenly music; Fu Ming had never felt that his eldest niece's voice was so beautiful.
Fu Minggang felt reassured, but the next second, Fu Ling's voice rang out again.
"Uncle, what's that on your back?"
Before Fu Ming could understand what she meant, Qin Mingzhu started shouting again.
"A giant sea turtle! Uncle Ming, there's a giant sea turtle on your back!"
Sea turtle?
Fu Ming turned his head and looked down at his shoulder. Sure enough, a large, fat turtle claw was resting on his shoulder.
"You're a god too, why are you climbing on my back!"
Fu Ming cursed under his breath, "Doesn't he know he's going to scare people to death in the middle of the night?!"
He swung his back twice, trying to shake the turtle off the boat and climb back onto the ship as quickly as possible.
The turtle was truly amazing; it stubbornly clung to his shoulder and refused to get down.
Fu Ming was also helpless; he couldn't hit her, nor could he scold her.
Forget it, thinking about how his younger sister has Fugui and Huakai as friends, and how he now has a sea turtle that refuses to leave, Fu Ming suddenly had the idea of bringing the sea turtle onto the ship.
Fortunately, although the sea turtle weighed several tens of kilograms, Fu Ming could still carry it. He just had to grit his teeth and climb onto the boat.
After finally getting on the ship, Fu Ming felt his legs were so weak that he collapsed onto the deck. The sea turtle on his back fell to the ground with its shell on the ground because of his lying position, and it took a long time for it to turn over.
"Hey, Ming, hurry up and change your clothes and have a bowl of ginger soup, or you'll catch a cold!"
Ye Xiaocui still cared about her son, and prepared ginger soup for him before Fu Ming even climbed up.
The so-called ginger soup is actually very simple and straightforward. It is made by soaking the ginger shreds they brought on the boat with boiling water. The boiling water will bring out the flavor of the ginger shreds, so it tastes very spicy.
Fu Ming didn't have the strength to respond to her at that moment. He lay on the deck for a while before getting up to go to the cabin to change his clothes.
He was initially annoyed that these people had forgotten about him after seeing the fish, but as soon as he changed his clothes and came out, he ran into Ye Zhenxing, who looked at him with admiration.
"Uncle, you're amazing! You caught such a big fish!"
That's more like it, Fu Ming thought to himself with a secret sense of satisfaction, but he still maintained a humble demeanor on his face.
"Oh, it's all luck, it's all luck."
Behind Ye Zhenxing was Ye Lin, who was carrying an enamel mug.
"Ah Ming, you've worked hard. Here, here's some instant noodles I just made for you."
Everyone was so busy watching the Eastern Star Spotted Pigeon that they forgot to help Fu Ming, so Ye Lin and the others felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, Fu Ming didn't mind, and the instant noodles were so delicious that he didn't have time to complain.
Fu Wan saw him wolfing down his food and was about to tell him to slow down when she felt something at her feet.
"Hey, Ancestor, what are you doing here?"
"Where did this ancestor come from?" Fu Ming looked over upon hearing this, and before he had even finished eating his noodles, he was eager to introduce her.
"This is a sea turtle that I brought up from the sea."
Fu Wan touched the rusty shell of the sea turtle, which had many wounds that had not fully healed.
It was precisely because of these wounds that she recognized the sea turtle as the one she had encountered a few days ago when she went into the sea—the same one that had led her to dig for gold bricks after the barnacles on its body were removed.
"What, you really know him?"
Fu Ming quickly finished the noodle soup in his bowl, then leaned over and asked.
Fu Wan nodded, then whispered in his ear, "That gold brick, it's what led me to it."
Good heavens, Fu Ming's gaze towards the sea turtle changed instantly upon hearing this.
I thought it was just an ordinary sea turtle, but I never expected it to be his ancestor whom I had never met before!
How should we treat our ancestors?
It's definitely an offering!
The two siblings hurriedly went to the bucket next to them and found some small fish and shrimp, which they then placed in front of their sea turtle ancestor.
"Does this sea turtle eat sardines and small shrimp?"
Fu Ming still felt it was a bit stingy. If Ye Xiaocui and the others hadn't already put all the good fish into the cold storage, he would have taken them all out and let the sea turtle ancestors choose for themselves.
"Ah Wan, Ah Ming, what are you busy with? It's time to set up the net!"
Boss Fu had just finished bleeding the East Star Spotted Catfish, and then he and Ye Lin carried it into the cold storage as quickly as possible.
Normally, grouper is sold alive, without the bleeding process.
However, the fish they had just caught was far too big, and it died shortly after being pulled from the water. Boss Fu had no choice but to bleed it out as quickly as possible to prevent the blood from spoiling the quality of the fish meat.
"Okay, coming right away!"
Fu Wan and Fu Ming responded in unison. This sea turtle ancestor didn't seem to mind the sardines and small shrimp, but perhaps because of its age, it couldn't eat the larger sardines, so Fu Wan had to cut them into pieces and place them in front of it.
Seeing that the sea turtle was enjoying its meal, the two quickly got up and joined the work team.
Trawls are a big deal, but since the sea turtle is in good condition, it's fine to let it stay on its own.
"Dad, let me try navigating the net!"
Ye Zhenxing felt a little envious when he saw the adults starting to use internet computers.
However, trawl nets are a big deal. If the hemp rope is not wound properly, the net-lifting machine can easily get stuck, and the net will not be able to be pulled up.
You have to understand that a single trawl net can yield at least several hundred or even several thousand dollars, so Ye Lin wouldn't dare let his son handle it.
"Why are you going around in circles? You're not even half the height of the machine. If you get caught in it, I'll have to rescue you."
He regretted it as soon as he said it, because Ye Zhenxing's face showed visible sadness.
"Why don't you put on your gloves, and then have your aunt teach you how to untie the rope on the net?"
Ye Zhenxing had seen Fu Wan untie the rope in the previous video, and he really wanted to try the thrill of opening a blind box.
Still a child under ten, Ye Zhenxing quickly put the matter of winding the tow net rope out of his mind and obediently went to find gloves.
The creaking sound of the net-hauling machine continued for more than ten minutes. Everyone had been waiting nearby with their fish baskets, and Fu Wan had also received Ye Zhenxing's request.
"Untie the net? No problem!"
Fu Wan agreed without hesitation. It wasn't a big deal, and besides, Ye Zhenxing's success in catching a yellowfin tuna showed that the little guy's seafaring skills were pretty good.
Ye Zhenxing was overjoyed to receive Fu Wan's consent. Soon after, a huge spherical net was pulled onto the ship by the net-lifting machine and then suspended in the air on the deck.
