The moment Wu An saw the pod of killer whales, he realized that the fishing boat's luck had instantly run out.
indeed.
It's reasonable that the value of these orcas has been depleted by their luck.
He wasn't catching orcas.
Even if you catch this thing, you can't sell it. If someone reports it, you'll definitely be arrested and forced to step on a sewing machine.
Just because we can't catch orcas doesn't mean we can't catch other things.
Wu An noticed that the orcas were not running around randomly, but chasing after schools of fish, which is normal; orca pods work together to surround and intercept their prey.
Then enjoy a feast.
He said he wanted to pay the toll so he could steal some prey from the mouths of these orcas.
Aqing scratched her head: "Brother, calm down."
"These orcas are not to be trifled with. If we anger them, we'll be in big trouble."
Mai Hangyu asked with a curious look, "Brother, why do we need tolls?"
You dare to take it?
Can you give me an orca?
Wu An smiled and said, "Look carefully."
"These orcas are moving in a concave pattern as they chase schools of fish."
"Once the fish gather together, they will attack them in a group."
"When the time comes, we'll try to get as close as possible."
"Throw nets to catch fish!"
Aqing and Mai Hangyu looked closely and indeed found a school of fish. The orcas kept making calls, as if they were communicating with each other.
What kind of fish is it?
"I can't see clearly."
"Brother, I'm a little panicked. Do we really have to go over there?"
Wu An hesitated for a moment.
Although orcas are friendly to humans and will not attack them, he was still worried about these marine creatures, in case the orcas started playing with them.
They can't afford to play around.
If something goes wrong, and we're stranded and helpless at sea, we can't risk the safety of three people.
Mai Hangyu was a little excited and shouted, "Brother, we have to go over there."
"How interesting!"
"This is such a rare opportunity; you might only come across it a few times in your lifetime."
"If we don't follow, we'll definitely regret it whenever we think about it later."
Wu An launched the fishing boats.
Before the orca pod even arrives, the fishing boats must start moving. They need to get ahead of time, as the orca pod swims very fast, and if they fall behind, they may not be able to keep up.
Wu Anzheng hesitated.
Ah Qing cried out, "Brother, the orca pod seems to be changing direction and heading towards us!"
Mai Hangyu also shouted, "It really is! They're coming, they're coming!"
He wasn't afraid at all; his voice was tinged with excitement.
Wu An was at the helm when he quickly stood up to look. He saw that the sea not far away was boiling water, and that was a school of fish struggling to survive.
The pod of orcas, carrying schools of fish, headed straight for them.
Wu An dared not delay and turned the boat's engine to its maximum speed.
However, even with their fishing boat running at full speed, they were no match for the killer whale, which continued to pull them closer.
He was also a little worried. Seeing that Aqing's face was a little pale, he quickly comforted her, "Aqing, don't be afraid. The orca isn't going to attack us."
"In the eyes of orcas, we are the same kind."
"Perhaps they saw us here and invited us to have dinner together."
Mai Hangyu laughed heartily: "Brother, as you said, the orcas are quite hospitable."
Wu An remained silent.
He was just saying it casually. Aqing had a sense of awe and even fear towards the sea, not because he was actually timid, but because it stemmed from his father's generation.
Aqing's father perished in this sea.
If it weren't for the fact that Aqing had made a lot of money with him, even if he and Aqing had a very good relationship, Li Juan would never have let Aqing go out to sea to fish.
He had promised Li Juan that he would take Aqing out to sea and bring her back safely.
It only took two or three minutes.
The pod of orcas is almost catching up with the fishing boat.
They can even tell the difference between the faint screams emitted by different orcas.
Just then.
The pod of killer whales suddenly disappeared into the sea.
Ah Qing panicked: "Brother!"
Wu An wasn't sure either, but he shouted, "It's okay, it's okay, the orcas are probably about to eat."
He was just guessing randomly.
And he was right.
With a splash of water, the orcas burst out of the sea, like a series of torpedoes exploding in a school of fish.
Dinner's ready!
The orcas were feasting and making sounds. Wu An wondered if it was just his imagination, but he could almost hear the joy in their calls.
Wu An paused for a moment, then realized what was happening: "Hangyu, Aqing, don't just stare."
"Get the throwing net!"
"Toll fees are being collected."
Mai Hangyu was the first to start running.
Aqing's face was a little pale. Looking at the pod of killer whales swimming around the fishing boats and feeding frantically not far away, she swallowed hard and ran to get the casting net.
Mai Hangyu cast the first net and exclaimed happily, "Brother, this is so much fun!"
"These orcas are surprisingly good at handling things."
"They even proactively delivered the transfer fee."
Wu An chuckled and said, "She is quite sensible."
Listening to their conversation, Aqing seemed less nervous.
"Brother, it's a manta ray!"
"These fish are quite rare, they must be quite valuable."
"good."
"But be careful, this fish has bones."
"Put on your gloves."
"Bring it up and throw it aside for now."
These manta rays were already terrified from being chased, but now that the orca pod was feeding, their anxiety finally subsided.
But giving up the struggle is impossible.
As the saying goes, "It's better to die for a friend than for yourself."
The manta rays thrashed about frantically, and several of them, in their panic, jumped directly onto the boat.
I thought we were safe.
Little did they know, they had escaped one tiger's mouth only to enter another wolf's den.
Aqing was overjoyed.
That's all money.
The three people were in different positions, constantly throwing nets.
There's no need to worry about the angle. The manta rays are surrounded by a pod of killer whales, while the fishing boat is surrounded by a school of fish. There are so many manta rays around that you're guaranteed to catch them as soon as you throw the net in.
Too many fish isn't necessarily a good thing.
When they tried to pull the net up, all three of them were stumped.
Especially when the net is thrown out of the water, the manta ray's thrashing makes it incredibly heavy.
The three of them exerted all their strength, veins bulging on their foreheads, and it took them a lot of effort to pull the net up.
Fortunately, the three of them were not yet skilled enough, and they didn't catch many manta rays in the net. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pull the net up at all.
"This net will yield at least 34 kilograms."
"The three of us together will get over 100 pounds of manta rays."
"Let's stop talking."
"Use a dip net to catch them; first, get the stingrays onto the boat."
Wu An shouted, grabbed the net and started scooping it up. He caught it every time, lifted it up with force, and then flung it, and the manta ray flew onto the boat.
Aqing and Mai Hangyu followed suit.
It's a bit like playing fishing games at temple fairs when we were kids, except these are the adult version.
The orcas quickly finished their meal and poked their heads out to look at them.
After watching for a while, they probably got bored, called out to each other, then dived into the sea, and reappeared far away.
The fish then dispersed.
When Wu An realized he couldn't catch any fish with his net, he threw it down and collapsed to the ground.
After just a short while, my back is aching from exhaustion.
Ah Qing was no longer afraid and waved to the departing orca: "I've received the toll this time. See you next time."
Then he looked at Wu An: "Brother, are you satisfied?"
Wu An smiled and nodded, very satisfied.
Mai Hangyu laughed along, this trip to sea was so interesting.
Regardless of how much money you make, at least you have a lot of fun.
