Fu Shi only then realized that his back was covered in cold sweat, and the manta rays on the deck were thrashing about.
If Fu Wan hadn't pulled him back, the tail thorn would have hit him.
In this cold weather, if someone gets pricked by a poisonous thorn, they'll have to stay home and recover for at least half a month.
Not only does it cause delays, but it also makes you suffer.
"Ah Wan, thank you so much!"
Fu Wan waved her hand and dragged the fish basket next to her.
"Stop talking so much, hurry up and clean these fish."
Ye Lin and Boss Fu grabbed knives and sticks from the side and struck the manta ray with them. Once the manta ray stopped moving, Boss Fu swiftly chopped off its tail spike.
Seeing this, Fang Min also picked up a wood-chopping knife from the side.
"Hey, young comrade, we need to stun that manta ray first..."
Before Boss Fu could finish speaking, Fang Min stepped on the stingray's tail and then swiftly brought down her knife. The stingray lost its prized weapon before it could even struggle.
Well, this move really surprised everyone present.
Even Ye Xiaocui's gaze towards Fang Min became uneasy.
I heard from Fu Wan that this young comrade was wounded on the battlefield, but she is a woman after all. She seems to be even more fierce than men when she does things.
There were about ten stingrays in the trawl net. Boss Fu and the others cleaned the stingrays' tail spines, and Fu Wan called Fu Shi to help her carry the stingrays into the fish basket.
These stingrays are quite large, each weighing around 20 pounds.
There were even five or six larger ones, weighing at least thirty or forty pounds each; one stingray could take up a fish basket more than a meter long.
As the group was busy working, Fu Wan suddenly heard a strange noise.
It was already past 8 p.m., and the wind at sea had subsided considerably. As the trawl nets were being pulled up, many seabirds were circling above the ship, hoping to find an opportunity to swoop down and snatch some scraps.
So you can hear the loud cawing of seabirds all around from time to time.
But Fu Wan did not hear that sound.
"Ah Wan, what's wrong?"
Ye Xiaocui was a little surprised to see Fu Wan stop what she was doing.
She looked in the direction Fu Wanwang was looking, but saw nothing but the endless sea.
"I think I heard the sound of an orca."
As soon as Fu Wan finished speaking, she heard the familiar whimpering sound again. She searched the sea surface in the direction of the sound, but did not see the little killer whale.
That's strange.
She thought for a moment, then took out a bamboo whistle from her pocket and blew it.
The bamboo whistle made a clear and melodious sound. Fu Ming, who was also sorting through the fish, stood up when he heard the noise.
"Why is A-Wan blowing a whistle?"
Oh my god!
Before he could finish wondering, a huge figure burst out of the water, splashing water all over the deck.
"Orca!"
The baby killer whale leaped out of the water, its intelligent eyes immediately fixed on the familiar fishing boat, but it didn't see Fu Wan anywhere.
Fu Ming was very excited. He hadn't seen the little orca for several days, and he was still reminiscing about the feeling of riding on the little orca's back last time.
However, just as Fu Ming was shouting and running to the side of the boat to call out to the baby killer whale, the baby killer whale splashed into the water and, without hesitation, slapped him with its tail.
These two-legged creatures are like they're sick!
Fu Ming was instantly bewildered by the wind. The little orca only realized after entering the water that the whistle wasn't coming from the boat it was familiar with.
"Hi, I'm here!"
Fu Wan shouted, and the baby orca emerged from the sea again, then swam towards Fu Wan without hesitation.
This left Fu Dayong, who was standing next to Fu Liang, completely stunned.
"Bright...bright! This orca can understand human speech?!"
Good heavens, this is the first time he's ever seen this!
Fu Liang smiled smugly, boasting with a face full of pride: "What's so special about that? There are plenty of fish in the sea that listen to people."
However, this orca only listens to Awan, who is blessed by the goddess Mazu and has great maritime fortune.
"Dayong, don't go back and talk nonsense in the village!"
Fu Liang wasn't stupid either, and he repeatedly gave Fu Dayong instructions.
Fu Dayong nodded confidently, his face still full of shock.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone about this."
Fu Wan's side, the baby orca only surfaced again when it reached the side of the boat.
The little guy has grown quite a bit, and the strength of his tail is truly impressive.
With a flick of its tail, it leaped and landed its upper body on the deck.
Fu Wan was already waiting by the boat. When she saw it approach, she checked the wound on its head again.
The wound was shallower than before, but it still looked rather creepy.
"Waaah!"
It seems to have smelled something!
The baby killer whale opened its mouth towards Fu Wan. Fu Wan touched its big teeth with her hand, and seeing that it was unwilling to close its mouth for a long time, she immediately remembered what she had just gained.
"Dad, get me a stingray!"
"ah?"
Fu Laoda didn't react immediately, but Fang Min was more sensitive to orders. She picked up a large manta ray from her feet and dragged it to Fu Wan's side.
"You guys used to bring me fish, now it's my turn to bring you food!"
Fu Wan lifted the fish with effort, and Fang Min, seeing this, also raised her hand to help.
The manta ray that two adults had struggled to lift was quickly swallowed by the baby killer whale, who just smacked it up and swallowed it whole in no time.
"How about another one?"
"Waaah!"
The baby killer whale cried out happily twice more, its cheerful tone conveying its joy to everyone.
This charmed Ye Xiaocui immensely. "Oh my goodness, this little guy is quite the glutton!"
Upon hearing Fu Wan's words, Boss Fu immediately dragged the fish basket over.
"Awan, hurry and feed it to the baby killer whale!"
Stingrays aren't cheap, but the Fu family didn't hesitate to feed them to the baby killer whale.
Fu Shi and Fang Min were secretly alarmed. Fu Shi was surprised that Fu Laoda and Fu Wan were so willing to feed the baby orca, while Fang Min was amazed by the way Fu Wan interacted with the baby orca.
When she was serving at sea, she encountered orcas several times, but no matter which time, the people on the ship were always on high alert, fearing that the orcas might come and ram the ship.
The baby killer whale ate three giant manta rays in one go. When Fu Wan tried to feed it a fourth one, it kept its mouth tightly shut and refused to eat it no matter what.
"Are you full?"
Fu Wan patted its head and casually put the manta ray down.
Without their tail spines, these manta rays were already half-dead. When Boss Fu saw that the killer whale wasn't eating them, he dragged the manta rays aside.
"Waaah!"
The orca, having enjoyed its meal, shook its head and jumped back into the sea, making grunting noises. Soon after, a column of water more than a meter high spouted from the sea.
With a few long cries from the orca, five or six more jet-black dorsal fins suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.
"Oh my god, look!"
Fu Shi couldn't hide his excitement as the orca pod leaped out of the water to frolic, something he had never seen before.
Especially the calf and several other orcas, with most of their bodies above the water, propelled themselves across the surface using their tails, their joyful antics resembling a group of children dancing on the water.
