So while I was diligently digging out barnacles, this guy was having a midnight snack?
Fu Wan was speechless. This whale was living too comfortably!
But did any fish actually go into your mouth?
Fu Wan peered inside and, sure enough, quite a few fish, whether due to the suction from the whale's mouth or something else, had all been splashed into the humpback whale's large mouth.
This was definitely a one-way trip. Seeing that Fu Wan had stopped moving, Da Bai made a gurgling sound in its throat, as if urging Fu Wan on.
Hey two-legged creature, why did you stop?
This really surprised Fu Wanmeng. She patted its chin with amusement, "You really know how to enjoy yourself!"
Having said that, she resigned herself to her fate and dived back into the water, continuing to press the back of her knife against the base of the barnacles and begin to shovel forcefully.
I shovel, I shovel, I shovel, shovel, shovel!
Fu Wan kept working, chanting a slogan in her mind, all for the sake of these interesting big guys.
But after she finished shoveling most of the barnacles, Fu Wan belatedly realized that she looked like she was giving a massage to a whale.
Imagining this, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh at herself. Only after she had cleaned up the last barnacle did Fu Wan put down her slightly sore hands and let out a long sigh.
Oh my goodness, she's exhausted!
It's only a whale; if it were a human, she wouldn't even bother with it.
"Alright, I'm exhausted, I'm leaving now."
Fu Wan rested against the humpback whale for two minutes, then patted its back to say goodbye.
She's been in the water for several hours now; she needs to go back and rest.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"
Big White responded twice, and as it watched Fu Wan climb the rope ladder, it suddenly popped out of the water again.
Hearing the commotion, Fu Ming and the others, who were sorting through the fish, got up and looked out to sea.
At this moment, the white humpback whale was constantly surfacing, its tail splashing up a lot of waves, looking happy and carefree.
"Holy crap!"
Fu Ming wiped the water off his face with his shoulder and watched the humpback whale swimming in the sea. Everyone had the same maternal smile on their faces.
That's wonderful! Humpback whales should live happily in the sea like this!
Fu Wan thought so too, and besides that, she also felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
It was the result of her hard work for more than an hour, and now that Big White is in such good spirits, her efforts weren't in vain!
"Ah Wan, come up quickly!"
Fang Min patted the side of the boat and reached out her hand, gesturing for Fu Wan to take her hand and come up.
Fu Wan really didn't have any strength left. Seeing this, Fu Qing also ran over, and with the help of the two of them, Fu Wan was pulled directly onto the deck.
"Oh dear, I'm exhausted!"
Fu Wan sighed, and Fu Ming hurriedly handed her a dry towel. At the same time, Ye Lin also brought her water bottle over.
"Ah Wan, come here!"
Fu Wan took the drink and drank a mouthful. Although she had been swimming in the water for so long, she was indeed thirsty.
After all, she didn't open her mouth to breathe, and seawater was very salty; fresh water was much better for quenching her thirst.
Fu Wan's water bottle was prepared by Ye Xiaocui, and it contained a lot of wild honey that she had brought back from Qingshan Village last time. After drinking it, she felt refreshed all over.
"Splash!"
A loud crash came from the water. Boss Fu, who had just carried the fish into the cold storage, turned to look at the sea before he could even put the fish down.
He was unaware that Fu Wan had come aboard. Seeing that his daughter was no longer visible on the sea and hearing the commotion on the deck, he hurriedly put down his things and went up to the deck.
Seeing Fu Wan sitting comfortably on the deck, resting peacefully, Boss Fu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled back into place.
Wow, my daughter is amazing! Look at that humpback whale, it must have lost all its barnacles!
It would be a lie to say he wasn't proud. Boss Fu stood up and looked out at the sea. Besides pride, he was also a little envious.
As a fisherman who has dealt with the sea for two lifetimes, he has never actually done anything like removing barnacles from whales.
Who in their right mind would dare get that close to these huge creatures!
But at that moment, Boss Fu suddenly realized that the humpback whale was hundreds of meters away on the sea surface with its mouth wide open, and a flock of countless seabirds was circling above its mouth.
There are schools of fish!
This realization brought Boss Fu back to his senses instantly. He shouted to Fu Ming and the others who were sorting the fish, "Ah Ming, Ah Lin, you guys hurry up and push the trawl net down, and grab the hand net too. There's a school of fish ahead. I'm going to start the boat!"
His daughter had been busy all day, and now he was going to collect some interest!
After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the cockpit. Time was of the essence. Most importantly, Boss Fu saw a bright yellow light in the distance, which should also be a fishing boat operating ahead!
Not knowing whether it was Fu Liang's or Chen Balang's ship, Boss Fu looked down at the radar coordinates next to him and found that Fu Liang's and Chen Balang's ships were still a long distance away.
In terms of location, the position of that light should not match Fu Liang and Chen Balang's coordinates.
Well, it looks like it belongs to other fishermen!
Realizing this, Boss Fu immediately lost interest and ran to start the engine to prepare to set sail.
To prevent collisions between fishing boats, fishermen usually find a spot in the sea where there are no other fishing boats to operate.
Since discovering Swallow's Nest Island and Coconut Island, Boss Fu has usually been trawling in that area. However, since buying the "Full Load and Return" fishing boat, they have also started trawling in the deep sea.
They often encounter other fishing boats because they go to far places, and when they do, it's usually on their way back.
Even if there is a tradition of not fighting over territory, those rules are meaningless when encountering schools of fish in the open sea.
Those who are capable should take more; if everyone understands each other and there are no conflicts, everything will be fine.
After the trawl net was set, Boss Fu slowly steered the boat closer to the humpback whale. He didn't intend to get too close, as that would disturb its feeding.
Moreover, there are several seabirds circling nearby, which means there are also several waves of fish.
These seabirds are weather vanes; their eyes are even sharper than human eyes. If you drag your net over there, you're sure to catch a school of fish!
Actually, if Fu Wan hadn't been resting, she could have seen the location of the fish underwater. Although Fu Laoda knew his daughter's abilities, he couldn't bear to let her suffer any more.
Fu Wan sat on the deck to rest, but her eyes swept around her surroundings.
There were still some unsorted fish on the deck. Fu Wan identified them and found that there were quite a few sole and crabs.
In the fish basket next to it, there was a basket of red carp neatly stacked, and even a basket of mantis shrimp, whose legs were still moving around.
Wow, looks like this net of fish is pretty good!
You know, usually when they sort out fish, they pick out the expensive and big ones first, but the mantis shrimps haven't been put into the live water tank yet, which means that the fish that were sorted out earlier are more valuable!
