Why is it familiar? Because Fu Wan discovered it by chance. The baby killer whale's dorsal fin is different from other killer whales. It has a small white spot on its dorsal fin, which is not noticeable unless you look closely.
But if you pay close attention, you can recognize it at a glance.
The baby killer whale had initially chased after the white humpback whale, but upon seeing the large humpback whale behind it, which was about to raise its large fins to attack it, it quickly stopped and leisurely turned around to swim towards Fu Wan.
That was close! A wise whale doesn't fight when it's in a disadvantageous position. Now it's all alone and can't beat this guy.
Seeing that the baby killer whale had run away and hadn't caught up, the great humpback whale swam away at top speed, carrying the white humpback whale into the depths of the ocean, slowly disappearing from Fu Wan's sight.

Although every time he goes out to sea, it's like playing around. But since the previous hauls have been pretty good, today's catch is still not enough in Boss Fu's eyes.
Compared to previous years, there are far fewer fish available today.
He couldn't help but feel anxious. If there was little seafood, there would be little income. If there was little income, how could he support the large fleet?
Fu Wan noticed his anxiety and quickly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, there's still a long night ahead."
Besides, we've only just done one trawl; if we look elsewhere later, we're sure to find schools of fish.
Hearing his daughter's words, Boss Fu's heavy mood improved considerably.
He thought about it and realized that, even though his family had only a small catch this time, it was enough to cover the cost of the trip.
As long as we don't lose money, that's fine. Think about how many people go to sea and can't even earn back the cost of diesel fuel.
"Okay, then I'll steer the boat ahead. If there are schools of fish, I can chase after them."
He refused to believe that, based on his luck, he wouldn't encounter a school of fish tonight!
As for the baby killer whale that was heading this way, Boss Fu didn't even notice it.
"Waaah!"
A familiar cry emerged from the sea. Fu Wan stretched out half her body to look at the surface of the water, and sure enough, the baby killer whale was less than two meters away from the boat.
Upon seeing Fu Wan, it leaped out of the sea with joy, only to crash heavily back onto the surface.
I didn't feel any pain at all.
Just then, Ye Zhenxing brought over the sardines from before and presented them to Fu Wan like a treasure.
"Auntie, will the killer whale eat these little fish? Why don't you give them to it?"
Sardines are naturally on the baby killer whale's menu, but compared to stingrays and other delicacies, they're like fly meat.
Seeing the baby orca having so much fun in the sea, Fu Wan couldn't bear to refuse Ye Zhenxing's suggestion.
She grabbed a handful of sardines from the bucket. The sardines were half-dead and showed no signs of struggling when Fu Wan held them in her hand.
"Little killer whale, catch!"
Fu Wan grabbed the fish and threw it towards the baby killer whale. Hearing the noise and seeing the sardines falling from the sky, the baby killer whale happily leaped out of the water and opened its big mouth.
This was the first time Ye Zhenxing had ever seen an orca open its mouth, so he was shocked by the orca's sharp teeth.
Wow, those teeth are amazing! They're even sharper than the ones on our dog, Wangcai!
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
Just as the group was waiting to see the baby killer whale enjoy the sardines, the creature unexpectedly spat out the sardines it had just swallowed, looking like it was about to vomit. Fu Wan even saw disgust on its face.
It's impossible for him to dislike himself; Fu Wan was confident of that. She guessed that this guy either disliked the sardines because they didn't taste good, or he disliked the fact that the fish had just been touched by the taste of a baby humpback whale.
Given the baby killer whale's naive nature, Fu Wan preferred the latter.
After spitting out the sardine in its mouth, the baby killer whale still felt unsatisfied. It then suddenly opened its mouth wide, letting seawater fill it, before spitting the seawater out again, just like a human rinsing their mouth.
Fu Wan watched this scene with a mix of amusement and exasperation. She was about to find some fish to apologize to the little orca when, unexpectedly, the creature rinsed its mouth and immediately dived back into the sea. Within minutes, she could no longer see the little orca.
Heavenly Bodhisattva, is this something to be angry about?
Just as Fu Wan was reflecting on her actions, a wave suddenly surged on the water's surface, and the baby killer whale burst out of the water with a bang, then quickly swam to Fu Wan's side.
Not only that, it also had half a piece of meat in its mouth. Because it lacked a white outer skin, Fu Wan didn't know what it was. (I deliberately enlarged the image a bit; hopefully it won't scare you. Image from the internet, please delete if infringing.) This guy really eats sharks. Judging from its appearance, it doesn't look like a simple fish.
"Uh-huh!"
Because it was still carrying something in its mouth, the baby killer whale's calls were somewhat muffled.
The call had a hint of urging in it, which left Fu Wan bewildered.
Even if it dares to offer it, she wouldn't dare to accept it!
"Mom, come quick and help me see what this little orca is carrying!"
Because Boss Fu was steering the boat, the little orca couldn't stay still and had to carry something while swimming alongside the boat.
Even so, it didn't give up what was in its mouth, determined not to stop until it got Fu Wan.
Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan were tying ropes to the crabs when they heard this and hurried over to check the situation.
"What is this thing?"
Jiang Chunlan couldn't figure it out either, but Ye Xiaocui looked at it suspiciously for a long time before suddenly slapping her thigh.
"Oh my, these are shark entrails! Besides manta rays, shark entrails are the most popular food of these orcas!"
Shark innards, such a ferocious creature, and the little killer whale really doesn't treat her like an outsider!
Fu Wan didn't dare to accept it and quickly waved to the little orca.
"You eat it yourself, we're not eating it!"
After calling out several times, the little orca seemed to understand Fu Wan's meaning and could only regretfully swallow the piece of meat in two or three bites.
This fierce appearance only intensified Ye Zhenxing's affection.
He likes it because it's so fierce and powerful!
Boss Fu steered the boat around for a while, but still couldn't spot any fish.
He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. That's how it is when you go out to sea to fish; you never know when your luck will be good or bad.
That's why people place their hopes and expectations on Mazu, hoping she can bless them with full nets when they go out to sea and ensure their safe return.
Looking at the little orca that was still following them and unwilling to leave, Fu Wan had an idea.
She asked Boss Fu to slow the boat down, which gave the little killer whale the opportunity to catch up.
"Waaah!"
Fu Wan reached out and touched its head. "Little killer whale, have your pods gone hunting? Can you lead us to find a school of fish?"
After saying that, she was afraid that it wouldn't understand, so she picked up a fish from the fish basket next to her, gestured to it a couple of times, and then put it in its mouth.
This time it didn't refuse and swallowed the fish in its mouth in one gulp.
The baby orca had been following their boat the whole time, and Fu Wan guessed that the orca pod probably wasn't too far away.
"Ah Wan, will this trick work?"
Ye Lin couldn't help but ask. Although he knew that animals had a spirit, Fu Wan's appearance clearly showed that she was communicating with the baby orca as if it were a person.
Before Fu Wan could answer Ye Lin, Fu Liang, who was standing next to her, spoke up.
"I trust Awan, and I trust the little orca. It has helped us catch quite a few fish!"
Fu Ming nodded and echoed, "I also believe in Awan and the little orca!"
Damn it, if the little orca hadn't been so disobedient, he would have wanted to communicate with the little orca like that too!
Seeing that Fu Ming and Fu Liang were convinced, Ye Lin could only believe them as well. After all, he knew little about the sea, but he had indeed witnessed the orca delivering fish with his own eyes.
After Fu Wan finished gesturing to the baby killer whale, she waved at it and then whistled.
As if receiving a command, the baby killer whale shook its large head, submerged in the water, and swam away into the distance without looking back.
It wasn't swimming very fast; in fact, it wasn't its usual swimming speed. As a result, Fu Wan, who was familiar with it, immediately understood what it meant.
"Brother, go tell Dad quickly and ask him to take the boat and follow the little orca!"
