Fu Wan picked out a small golden clam, intending to have Fu Ming steam it at noon, but Fu Haishun quickly stopped her.
"Awan, no, we can't do that. How can we eat such a valuable fish ourselves? We can just have two gutted ribbonfish instead of steaming golden clams."
Fu Haishun was truly reluctant to part with it. A golden clam weighing two or three pounds was almost as expensive as a grouper. Fu Wan treated them like family, so they couldn't pretend to be stupid and eat as much as they wanted.
Fu Daniu and Fu Mancang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Yes, Wan, listen to Hai Shun. As long as we have ribbonfish, we can use the golden clam instead."
This ribbonfish is quite plump; it would definitely taste delicious steamed.
With everyone saying the same thing, Fu Wan had no choice but to put the Golden Stone Clam back.
However, she didn't give up on the idea of eating golden clam just like that. The golden clam she caught last time was very good when it was cooked into sashimi, and Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu both loved to eat it.
She plans to process one when she has time, and it will be ready to eat in a few days.
The ribbonfish are quite large, and they're quick to sort through.
After finishing the netting, it was almost lunchtime. Fu Ming and the others went to the kitchen, while Fu Wan sat on the deck sunbathing. Suddenly, Little Yellow, who was sunbathing with them, flapped its wings and cried out excitedly.
"Chirp—!"
Before Fu Wan could react to what was happening, Xiao Huang had already taken off, flapping its injured wings and soaring straight into the sky.
Fu Wan looked up in its direction, and just then, a strange cawing sound rang out in the air.
Fu Wan narrowed her eyes. Although it was windy and rainy at night, the sky was cloudless during the day.
In addition, her eyesight was already quite good, so she spotted the black dot high in the sky at a glance.
That creaking sound just now was made by it.
The direction Xiao Huang rushed out in was also the location of that black dot.
At this moment, the black dot was moving rapidly. In Fu Wan's vision, the black dot kept getting bigger until it got closer. Fu Wan's pupils shrank slightly, and she saw its appearance clearly.
What black spot? That's clearly a white-tailed eagle!
"Little Yellow, come back!"
Fu Wan's expression changed, and she hurriedly shouted.
The white-tailed eagle is twice the size of a small yellow eagle, and it was injured, so how could it fight a white-tailed eagle?
Unfortunately, Little Yellow wouldn't listen to Fu Wan's commands at all. The birds of prey were extremely hostile to each other, and it raised its head and flew forward to fight the sea eagle.
With Xiao Huang fighting so desperately, Fu Wan didn't even need to guess to know that the eagle in front of her must be Xiao Huang's enemy, the bad bird that caused Xiao Huang's many wounds.
Thinking of Xiao Huang's bloody wounds, Fu Wan was extremely anxious.
That bird was too impulsive. It was already injured, yet it still charged forward. The eagle was several sizes bigger than it, so how could it possibly win?
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Little Yellow was at a disadvantage and was pecked several times by the eagle.
Little Yellow was also a fighter; even when it was being beaten down, it kept looking for opportunities to fight back, occasionally trying to peck at the eagle's eyes with its sharp beak.
The eagle wasn't about to let it succeed; it flapped its wings at Little Yellow.
For a moment, bird feathers fell from the sky like snowflakes, and Fu Wan couldn't tell at all whether they were Little Yellow's or the sea eagle's.
Damn it, if this keeps going, they'll all die sooner or later!
Fu Wan was anxious; she absolutely could not stand by and watch Xiao Huang be bullied.
She whistled twice more, but Little Yellow remained unmoved. The eagle, however, cawed twice and then landed on Fu Wan's spot... leaving a pile of bird droppings.
Fortunately, Fu Wan was prepared and dodged the attack. She couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, trying to calm herself down.
Seeing that the eagle dared to poop in Fu Wan's spot, Little Yellow chirped and rushed over.
Upon seeing this, Fu Wan turned her head and shouted.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin!"
"Why!"
Ye Lin was busy in the cold storage and had no idea what had happened.
Where's your homemade gun?
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin nodded subconsciously, "The rest pod, what happened?"
After encountering pirates who robbed him last time, Ye Jianguo brought all the homemade guns from his home with him.
Ye Lin brought one that was on the "Riding the Waves" ship, and Ye Jianguo also brought one on the "Returning Fully Loaded" ship.
Fu Wan had also brought a Browning pistol for self-defense, but the eagle was too far away, and the small pistol couldn't reach it at all.
"Quick, get the hunting rifle, Xiao Huang is in trouble."
"What? Little Huang is in trouble?"
Ye Lin was puzzled, and Fu Haishun and the others came out after hearing the commotion.
Fu Wan pointed to the sky, where the ship's engine was roaring. The group looked up and saw two birds fighting in the sky.
"Holy crap, that's an eagle!"
"What eagle? That's a bald eagle!"
Good heavens, how could Little Yellow possibly beat it? That eagle is ferocious; its wingspan is taller than a person!
Fu Haishun and Fu Mancang were also worried about Xiao Huang. After Ye Lin saw the situation in the air, he rushed to the rest cabin to get his equipment.
He returned with the items in less than half a minute.
Besides the homemade gun, there were also two slingshots.
Fu Wan picked up the slingshot without hesitation. Don't underestimate this small thing; if used properly, its destructive power is no less than that of a homemade gun.
Most importantly, the slingshot has no recoil, making it easier for Fu Wan to control.
Fang Min, who was helping in the kitchen, ran downstairs when she heard the commotion.
"Ah Wan, no, it's too far away, the homemade gun can't reach it."
Ye Lin raised his homemade gun and tried to aim. At this time, Xiao Huang and the eagle were at least seven or eight hundred meters away from the deck, and since they were still fighting, it was impossible to aim.
Fu Wan thought for a moment and then came up with an idea, "Here's what we'll do, I'll try to lure Xiao Huang back with a whistle, and if the eagle comes down too, then you guys make your move!"
After bullying Xiao Huang like this, and even trying to poop in front of her, Fu Wan, who always protects her own, is definitely going to teach that bird a lesson.
"Okay! I'll do as you say!"
Ye Lin and Fang Min responded in unison, and Fu Wan, seeing this, whistled again.
The whistling this time was fast and urgent, and it continued without interruption.
Little Yellow finally heard Fu Wan's call, and knowing it couldn't win, it immediately flapped its wings and prepared to fly back.
But the eagle wasn't about to let it go. With a sharp cry, it flapped its wings and charged after Little Yellow.
Under the sunlight, the eagle's claws appeared particularly sharp. Combined with its large size and fast speed, it was only two or three seconds before it caught up with Little Yellow.
"Little Huang, hurry up!"
Fu Wan shouted anxiously, and Xiao Huang, sensing the danger, frantically flapped its wings.
But the eagle was faster. It glanced at the deck, and its cold eyes terrified Fu Wan.
"Chirp—!"
Seeing the eagle stretch out its sharp talons, ready to step on Little Yellow's back, Fu Wan could no longer hold back. Regardless of how far away they were, she shouted, "Now!"
After saying that, she aimed at the eagle and released the slingshot.
