Outside the bay, a fierce wind and torrential rain, towering waves, were terrifying and frightening.
Inside the bay.
It's not fair to say the sea is calm, but it's more accurate to say the water is undisturbed.
Wu An's face lit up with joy, and he exclaimed, "This is truly a natural haven."
Old Fu nodded, unable to hide his excitement, and exclaimed, "Yes, we really got incredibly lucky to get here safely!"
"Thanks to these orcas!"
"Without them leading the way, we definitely wouldn't have been able to get in here."
Laymen just watch the show.
Experts see the details.
To outsiders, entering this bay seems like a simple matter of getting the boat in; the bay's entrance is quite large, so it appears to be easy.
That's not actually the case.
The island is surrounded by numerous reefs and hidden reefs.
This is why even old fishermen like Lao Fu have never gone near this island.
Many fishing boats also try to avoid operating at night, for fear of accidents.
The severe weather they faced today made it impossible to avoid the various dangers on the seabed in advance. It's no exaggeration to say that they were essentially sailing with their eyes closed.
It's exciting to be able to get through this safely and peacefully.
Wu An looked at the orcas circling the fishing boat and waved vigorously: "Thank you, thank you."
He called out to Aqing and Wu Ping, who were still in shock inside the boat, "Brother, Aqing, come out quickly! The orcas and sea turtles have helped us a lot, and we should thank them."
It was still raining outside.
The three opened the live fish tank and took out a net cage full of mantis shrimp. Wu An shouted at a killer whale, "Hey, Tiger, have some snacks."
After saying that, he opened the net cage and dumped the shrimp onto the sea surface.
The orca immediately approached, emitting a high-pitched call, as if greeting or expressing gratitude.
The orca was very close; Wu An was lying down and could make eye contact with it.
Compared to its size, the orca's eyes are not large, they can even be described as tiny. However, Wu An still sensed very clear emotions from the orca's eyes.
The orca seemed very happy.
"Eat quickly."
Wu An waved his hand in greeting.
The orca snorted, flipped over, and plunged back into the sea to feast.
Aqing and Wuping also joined in, calling out to the other orcas, but none of them came over. Seeing this, Wuan quickly whispered to the orca that was eating, "Tiger, call your companions to eat with you."
The orca let out a scream, seemingly in response.
The next moment.
The other orcas surrounding the fishing boat gathered around and started eating.
Wu An was overjoyed.
What's going on?
Like the sea turtle, this orca actually obeyed him?
And they only listen to him!
Does he really have some special aura about him?
"I just have a system and I was reborn, that's all," Wu An muttered to himself, secretly pleased with himself. He was naturally happy to see this situation.
Wu Ping, who was boarding the ship for the first time, exclaimed in amazement: "It's amazing! These orcas seem to really understand human speech."
Aqing said, "Brother Ping, of course!"
"When the sea turtle comes over to eat, let me give you a performance."
"The sea turtles are listening to their brother now."
After finishing their meal, the orcas cried out twice, then disappeared into the sea. A short while later, they reappeared near the mouth of the bay. Wu An waved and asked, "Are they leaving already?"
Goodbye, goodbye.
"I'll get you some fish next time."
After the orca pod left, the sea turtles gathered around.
Old Fu was amazed. "Good heavens, these sea turtles are really smart. They wait until the orcas have finished eating before coming over."
Wu An noticed that many sea turtles had barnacles on their backs and laughed, "Old Fu, they're not here to eat, they're here to get their hair cut."
"Aqing, go get the tools."
"Brother, if you see any barnacles on their bodies, use a net to bring them up."
Wu Ping excitedly went to get the net.
He found it very interesting when he heard Aqing talk about these things before, and now that he could see them with his own eyes and even participate in them, he felt that this trip to sea was very fulfilling.
When classes start on Monday, I'll talk to the students, and I guarantee not a single one will be sleeping.
Wu An lowered the net down, and the sea turtle cooperated by actively crawling into it.
They easily climbed onto the deck.
Wu An took the tools and began to shave the barnacles.
The sea turtle lay obediently on the deck, occasionally wiggling its webbed feet, appearing quite content and relaxed.
Despite the rain, everyone worked enthusiastically and found it quite stress-relieving.
I was terrified by the wind and waves today, so shaving the barnacles off the sea turtle was a good way to relieve the stress.
Aqing worked especially hard, quickly, accurately, and steadily.
Old Fu also came over to take a look. After watching for a while, he praised, "You guys are quite skilled."
Ah Qing said smugly, "Of course."
"Last time we went out to sea, we also helped many sea turtles remove barnacles."
"What was that saying again? 'Once' or something..."
Wu Ping said, "Practice makes perfect."
“Yes, yes, yes.” Aqing nodded, threw the sea turtle with the barnacles removed back into the sea, and then scooped up another one, saying proudly, “I’m Tony, number 2. It’s a pleasure to serve you.”
The sea turtle seemed to understand, and raised its webbed feet as if to greet him.
Ah Qing kept amusing himself, then picked up his tools and started shaving with a "snap snap snap".
Old Fu asked, "Why are you doing this? It's such a waste of time to shave barnacles off so many sea turtles."
Aqing said, "I don't know why I'm doing this. My brother told me to do it, so I just did it."
"What does it matter if it takes a while? It's because we shave these sea turtles' heads that they help us."
"Looking at it this way, my brother was really farsighted."
"Brother, you're really amazing."
The last sentence was shouted at Wu An, who smiled but said nothing after hearing it.
Ah Qing has already praised him so much, if he were to say something in response, it would seem too immodest of him.
Wu Ping said with a beaming smile, "This is what they mean by good deeds being rewarded."
Wu An nodded and said, "Brother, you're right. We saved Lao Fu, and with Lao Fu at the helm, we managed to hold out until these sea turtles came looking for us."
"We helped these sea turtles, and that's why they came to us and saved us."
"At sea, the heavens are above you, and Mazu is watching everything you do."
"I think we should continue to do this kind of thing in the future, and do it more and better."
Ah Qing exclaimed, "Brother, what you said is so insightful!"
This guy is just a fanboy.
Just listen to it.
Wu An didn't take it seriously, but he enjoyed listening to it, so he never stopped A Qing's mindless flattery.
Old Fu was lost in thought.
He had spent his entire life at sea, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a strange group of fishermen.
These young people were very different from other people who made a living at sea.
They seem unreliable, their actions are even more unreliable, and their words are naive and childish. They say things like "good people are rewarded" and "God and Mazu"—these are words that everyone has on their lips, but how many people really believe them?
To the old man, it sounded especially ridiculous.
But in reality, he couldn't laugh.
He witnessed it firsthand and was also in it. To survive such a storm, no matter how unreliable it may seem, they had indeed created an incredible miracle!
