Chapter 65 That Was a Killer Whale



The little count (dog) carries Yuan Yuan (cat) of a certain island territory in its mouth, and Yuan Yuan (cat) of that island territory can only be honest.

Lu Wuyai reached out and touched the baby killer whale's head. The baby killer whale didn't attack him; instead, it accepted his touch and circled the fishing boat at sea.

Observing orcas up close reveals their even more spectacular appearance. They have exceptionally smooth body lines, and their dorsal fins resemble flags. When they swim towards the surface of the water, their dorsal fins slice through the seawater, just like an ancient general raising a battle flag—it's incredibly majestic.

He gave the little orca another fish, and the little orca immediately became happy and stayed close to the side of the boat to play with him.

The other orcas swam on incessantly, ignoring Lu Wuyai, chasing after the golden pearls in the water, vying to swallow them along with the seawater.

More than half an hour later, the orca finished eating the golden droplets of water and began to retreat. The baby orca was still swimming around the fishing boat, seemingly waiting for someone to feed it the fish.

A dull "squeak" sound came from the seawater, as if someone was rubbing rust with oversized sandpaper.

Upon hearing the sound, the baby killer whale circled the fishing boat one more time before reluctantly leaving.

The hissing sound continued a few more times before finally stopping.

This is the sound made by an orca. Orcas are the language masters among fish; they have been found to be able to make 62 different sounds.

Once, we were delayed by a pod of orcas, and it was already very late.

Lu Wuyai dared not release the Golden Elixir and Golden Pearl recklessly. Fortunately, this time it attracted a group of orcas. If it had attracted a group of bull sharks or porpoise sharks, it would have been troublesome.

After drifting at sea all night, as the sun rose, Lu Wuyai stretched, boarded the boat, and took control of the fishing vessel, preparing to return home.

After boarding the ship, he swept across the sea and saw a fishing boat appear in front of him.

This is a large ship, floating on the sea like a small building.

Because he also wanted to buy a fishing boat, he became interested when he saw this brand-new, large fishing vessel. He drove past in a fishing boat to take a closer look at it.

Just then, the fishing boat was hauling in its nets. As soon as the nets were pulled out of the water, Lu Wuyai heard the familiar sound of sandpaper scrubbing: "Sizzle sizzle..."

He looked toward the fishing net, following the sound. The baby killer whale he had seen the night before was entangled in it.

In this way, when the fishing net is pulled up, it is also pulled up.

This time, the little killer whale lacked its usual playful and clever demeanor from its time frolicking on the fishing boats at sea. It was entangled in a huge trawl net. As the winch turned, the net was pulled up, and it struggled desperately inside, its body covered in wounds.

The morning sun shone on it, and its black skin was no longer smooth, soft, and shiny, but covered with wounds. The fish skin was cut open, the fish flesh was exposed, and fresh blood dripped down. These wounds looked extremely gruesome.

Modern fishing boats have winches connected to electronic scales that can display the weight of the catch in the net.

The fishermen on the boat were delighted when they saw the data on the electronic scale, but upon closer inspection, they realized it looked like a shark in their fishing net. "Let's keep a piranha."

Local fishermen in Hongyang like to call sharks "water tigers," but they mistakenly believe they are killer whales.

Sharks are among the fish that fishermen least like to catch. Although the shark fins are valuable, a certain island nation is cracking down on the illegal fishing of sharks for their fins.

Sharks have no use other than their fins, and catching them requires a lot of effort, which is not worth the loss for fishermen.

Seeing this, Lu Wuyai stood up from the boat and waved his hand: "Brother, what you caught in your net is not a shark, but a whale, a killer whale, or rather a small whale. Can you let it go?"

Smaller fishing boats are less likely to collide with fishing boats due to differences in water pressure on either side. However, if it were two large boats, they wouldn't be able to approach each other so easily.

Upon hearing his words, the people on the ship exclaimed, "A killer whale! There's an orca in the back net!"

Lu Wuyai nodded and said, "Yes, that's an orca. According to the regulations of the Ocean Bureau, it is prohibited to catch it, so could you please release it?"

The crew ignored him. Several men ran to the stern to look at the fishing nets being hauled up, muttering to themselves:

"This is an orca. It's the first time I've seen one of these fish. I've heard they can hunt sharks."

"It looks quite nice, but it probably won't weigh much. Eight hundred kilograms. One ton."

"It's not a shark. That's good. Baby whale meat is edible. We can kill it, cut off the meat, and sell it for a few dollars at the market..."

Hearing the crew's discussion, Lu Wuyai frowned, took out his phone to take pictures and videos, and shouted to the people on the ship, "Who is the boss of this ship?"

A burly man in his forties leaned forward impatiently and said, "Yes, that's me. What's wrong?"

Lu Wuyuan said, "According to the regulations of a certain area on the island, the orca in your net is not allowed to be captured. Can you release it?"

The big man snorted: "You're being too lenient. A certain state-owned enterprise on the island even has a rule that public officials cannot accept bribes. Is that rule even valid?"

Lu Wuyai shook his phone and said leisurely, "Regardless of whether the regulations of a certain area on the island are good or bad, you can try it after the fishing boat docks. Anyway, I filmed the process of you catching the orca. If you don't let go, I will report you."

The important person got angry and said, "Little grass, what are you doing? Mind your own business."

Lu Wuyai said, "I'm not meddling in other people's business. I'm just fulfilling my responsibility as a law-abiding citizen and exercising public oversight, right?"

The ocean administration and fisheries administration are increasingly controlling the ocean. If someone is reported for poaching whales, the authorities in that area will definitely not stand idly by.

The big man said helplessly and angrily, "I didn't catch this little whale on purpose. Look how ugly it is. Even if I put it back, it probably won't survive."

It's true. Baby whales are caught in fishing nets, their skin is torn to pieces, and they are likely to die from bacterial and viral infections once they return to the ocean.

Lu Wuyai said, "Natural death is its own business, but if you slaughter it, then you are breaking the law."

The burly man frowned, glanced at the phone in his hand, and finally decided to give in: "Alright, alright, I'll throw this cub down, but how can I be sure you'll delete the photos and videos after I take it in? What if you report me again?"

Lu Wuyai said happily, "If you release this little killer whale, I'll give you my phone."

The big guy was taken aback: "Oh, really?

“We fishermen spit on nails.”

The bearded man wasn't a bad guy. After listening, he immediately led two men to open the fishing net that had already been pulled up, and then pushed the struggling baby orca off the deck.

With a splash, the baby killer whale fell into the water.

Lu Wuyai gestured to put a bucket on the boat, then took out his SIM card and put it in.

The bucket was hoisted up, and the boat owner checked his phone and found it still worked. He suddenly wondered, "Damn it, brother, what crime did you commit? Your marine conservation organization?"

"College students out having fun. It's that simple: wasting a phone to save a fish..."

To keep his promise, Lu Wuyai stopped dealing with the people on the fishing boat.

He sat at the bow of the boat, gazing at the sea, wondering how the baby killer whale was doing.

After the baby killer whale fell into the water, it first dived into the water, then surfaced again, slowly approaching the fishing boat at sea. It weakly swayed its tail in the water and slowly floated up.

Gu Yuxin took out a bass and threw it in. The baby orca swam over, opened its mouth to swallow the fish. At that moment, it seemed to recognize the yacht and Lu Wuyai. After finishing the bass, it emerged from the water.

Overnight, the baby orca went from being adorable to looking utterly disheveled.

But when Lu Wuyai reached out his hand, the little orca still approached him in a friendly manner.

After thinking for a moment, he turned the golden pill upside down and put a little golden drop of liquid into the baby orca's mouth.

The young orca had many wounds, but apart from the skin being torn by the fishing net, they were all minor injuries.

It was in very poor condition at the time, as it had struggled frantically in the fishing net, leaving it nearly exhausted. After resting by the fishing boat for a while, its condition gradually improved.

However, most of the wounds were still bleeding, and dark red fish blood flowed into the water. Gu Yuxin stood guard by the side of the boat with a harpoon to prevent sharks from being attracted.

Fortunately, sharks are still rare in the ocean, and he stayed with the little killer whale until noon without encountering any sharks.

After a morning of rest, the baby killer whale was in much better spirits and became active again. It hovered around the fishing boat at sea, occasionally leaping out of the water.

Lu Wuyai didn't know what changes the golden embankment had brought to it, nor whether it was due to the embankment or the orca's powerful regenerative abilities. In any case, by morning, the little orca's wounds had healed.

Although the wounds haven't healed yet, they've stopped bleeding. Judging from the baby orca's overall condition, at least its life is good.

Lu Wuyai was astonished by the baby killer whale's friendliness. During this time, the little earl (dog) secretly jumped into the water. Upon discovering this, it didn't bite the little earl (dog) or try to eat it. Instead, it played with it in the sea, just like a dolphin. (Use your round head to hit the little earl (dog).)

After playing until noon, the baby killer whale finally dived into the water and disappeared.

Lu Wuyai assumed it was coming to find the group of people, so he waved goodbye, started the fishing boat, and headed towards Coconut Grove Village.

As the waves crashed and the sea breeze howled, the fishing boat set off. Suddenly, Earl (the dog) sitting in the passenger seat turned his head and barked, "Wow!"

Lu Wuyai turned his head and was surprised to see a sickle-shaped fin protruding from the water's surface, quickly chasing after the fishing boat.

He recognized that fin all too well; it was from a small killer whale chasing him.

Orcas are expert swimmers in the ocean. Even without abundant stamina, they can swim at speeds exceeding normal limits, reaching speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour.

Young orcas swim relatively slowly. Lu Wuyai recalls that before reaching adulthood, a young orca could not possibly reach a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

But what's happening now is beyond his comprehension. Fishing boats can travel at high speeds, especially after being equipped with Suzuki four-stroke outboard engines; the speedboats can easily exceed 50 kilometers per hour.

Fishing boats at sea have reached this speed, but the baby killer whale has not been left behind after the chase; on the contrary, it seems to be getting closer and closer.

He gradually slowed down, and the little orca rushed up. It finally swam to the front of the fishing boat at sea and suddenly braked. Then, it performed a floating technique on the water, its two eyes sticking out as it stared at Lu Wuyai.

Lu Wuyai smiled and waved to it: "Let's go, I want to go home, so you can go home too."

The baby killer whale only showed half of its round head, its two big eyes continuing to stare at him.

The little earl (dog) wagged its tail and suddenly jumped into the water. The little killer whale happily wiggled its body and leaped out of the sea, just in time for the little earl (dog) to swim over.

Lu Wuyai grinned, then shrank back, feeling pain just thinking about being bumped by a small whale.

Yuan Yuan (the cat) in a certain area of ​​the island also shrank back, wanting to snuggle into his arms.

But soon the little count (dog) popped its head out of the water. As usual, it had its tongue lolling out, its tail wagging, and was as happy as ever.

"It's a steel dog," Lu Wuyai exclaimed instinctively.

The little orca followed him and played with the little count (dog) for a while. Then, Lu Wuyai signaled the little count (dog) to go back and sail away. The little orca continued to follow him.

Lu Wuyai was stunned. He stopped the boat and waved to the little orca: "I'm going home, and you should go home too. Don't follow me."

The fishing boat slowly started moving at sea, and the little killer whale followed slowly behind.

Having no other choice, Ao Muyang waved his hand again: "Go away. There's no use in you following me. You can't go where I'm going. Go ahead, but be careful not to get stuck in the shallow sea."

In order to get rid of the baby killer whale, he decided to speed up.

The fishing boat sped along at sea, with the baby killer whale following closely behind.

Every time Lu Wuyai turned his head, he could see those sickle-like fins...

Having no other option, he jumped into the water, patted the baby killer whale's head, and tried to persuade it to leave.

But no matter what he does, the little orca will foolishly follow him.

Finally, he came up with an idea. Once on the boat, he took out a fish and threw it back forcefully. While the little killer whale searched for the fish, he steered the boat even faster.

As he cheered, he looked back and saw the sickle-shaped fins first dive back a few meters, then immediately fold back, still frantically chasing after the fishing boats at sea...

“Damn it, I raised a son, uh, no, I raised a daughter.” Lu Wuyai had no choice.

If it weren't for the orca's strong desire to follow him, but some wild animal, he would have been willing to adopt even a mouse, since he had enough space at home anyway.

But this is a killer whale, and killer whales cannot come ashore. If it follows me into the sea, it might run aground, not to mention there are so many fishing boats in the sea, what if a boat hits it?

Even if it avoids those boats, what if someone tries to fish for it? Lu Wuyai can't guard it 24 hours a day.

The baby orca did not accept his kindness, but still followed him.

Finally, Lu Wuyai had no choice but to take it back to the waters of Coconut Grove Village.

Although the baby killer whale is fast, it is still a juvenile whale and its stamina is still lacking.

On the way, Lu Wuyai had to stop for a while after driving, so it was already evening when he returned to Gantan Town.

As he approached the island's trading post, he realized he probably didn't need to worry too much about the little killer whale, because the little guy was very smart and wary of all other vessels except fishing boats, especially those with nets.

Perhaps because it was caught by a fishing boat this morning, it has now learned to avoid boats.

Fishing boats sailed into the island's trading port, while the baby killer whale remained in the deep waters outside the trading port.

There are no fish in the nearshore waters, so it has no food.

Lu Wuyai bought a cell phone and some pork at the market. As he was leaving, he happened to run into Su Xi.

Su Xi was a little out of breath, and beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.

Upon seeing Lu Wuyai, she waved and said, "Hey, Brother Yang, I just said I saw that person's back and it looked like you. Why didn't you agree?"

Lu Wuyai asked in confusion, "You called me. I didn't hear it. By the way, I'm younger than you, so don't call me Brother Yang."

"It's a title of respect in the world, and it has nothing to do with age." Su Xi smiled brightly, "Hey, what are you doing in the city?" "Why haven't you replied to my messages these past two days?"

Lu Wuyai explained, "I went out to sea yesterday, and my phone fell into the sea. Look, I just went to the city and bought a new phone."

He took out his phone case and showed it to the nurse. The nurse smiled and said, "I thought you were annoyed with me, so I just said, no, I, Su Xi, am still very charming."

As she spoke, she asked, "How much did you pay for this phone? Did you buy it at a store?"

Lu Wuyai nodded: "Yes, 2004."

Su Xi snorted, "How dare you ask for two thousand and four? You certainly didn't try to bargain, did you? Come with me, and I'll have them refund you 400 yuan. This price is outrageous."

Lu Wuyai was eager to meet the little orca, so he smiled and said, "Never mind, as long as the phone works, I have something to do. I'll call later."

Su Xi pouted and said, "We just met and we're about to part ways. What's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to go on a date with a beautiful girl?"

Lu Wuyai shook his head and said, "There's no girl involved. I just caught some silver pomfret and I'm in a hurry to sell them. Oh, by the way, come with me to the island trade port, I'll bring some home for you to eat."

Hearing his words, Su Xi's face lit up with a bright smile again: "Okay."

Gu Yuxin picked four or five plump silver pomfret for the girl, then flew back.

As the fishing boat left the island's trading post and entered deeper waters, baby orcas immediately appeared around the boat.

Gu Yuxin threw the chopped pork into the water. Orcas are carnivores that prey on animals such as seals, sea lions, and penguins, so feeding them pork is not a problem.

A large piece of pork fell into the water, and the baby killer whale ate it all.

From this perspective, the baby orca is his pet.

Gu Yuxin sat on the edge of the bed, stuffed the last piece of pork into its mouth, and said, "If you eat my food, it means I raised you. I'll call you Tiger, okay?"
