Inside the boat awning.
Wu An and the others grabbed the railing and tried to steady themselves.
The waves are too big.
As the fishing boat bobs up and down, your feet sometimes leave the ground, and if you're not careful, you might bump your head on a pillar.
Ah Qing called out, "Brother, are you alright?"
Wu An shook his head.
He looked at the wind and waves, wanting to do something.
But there's nothing more that can be done. In the vastness of the universe, humanity is insignificant. What difference is there between our struggles and an ant trying to turn over?
"Don't worry, Old Fu is much better at navigating than I am. He'll definitely be able to brave the wind and waves and get us back," he shouted.
It wasn't just to comfort Aqing and Wu Ping, but also to tell himself.
He wasn't just making things up.
That's also true.
With the current level of wind and waves, if it weren't for Old Fu steer the boat, it probably would have already capsized.
Aqing's voice trembled: "But why do I feel like the storm is getting bigger and bigger?"
Wu Ping closed his eyes and nodded vigorously to show that he understood.
When Old Fu heard Wu An's shout, he touched his face and couldn't help but smile bitterly. His skills were good, but in the face of the great power of nature, his efforts were in vain.
To be honest, he finds it incredible that he has managed to persevere until now!
How could a fishing boat that's only ten meters long stay stable in such wind and waves?
Is his boat-handling skill that good?
Old Fu always felt something was wrong. Every time he thought the fishing boat was about to collapse, it always managed to stay stable in the wind and waves.
Perhaps it was the blessing of the Goddess Mazu.
Your Majesty, please continue to bless us!
Old Fu prayed silently in his heart.
He shook his head, forcing himself not to think too much. At this moment, he was walking a tightrope, fighting against the wind and waves, and could not afford to be distracted for even a moment.
"Boom!"
The wind and waves seemed poised to swallow the fishing boat whole.
Old Fu Tou did his best to steer the ship, struggling to pull it out of the storm and move forward with difficulty.
Hmm.
Did they really hold on?
That's incredible.
Is everything alright?
In his despair, Old Fu seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Maybe we really can just sail the boat back.
However.
Just as he was thinking this, Wu An's voice came over: "Old Fu, do you know anything about this area of the sea?"
"Could we find an island to dock on?"
"It's best to find a safe haven."
Old Fu immediately denied it: "I know this area of the sea quite well."
There are islands nearby.
"But... with such big waves, we can't get close to the island, and it's hard to avoid the reefs."
He called out, then turned around and saw Wu An swaying as he walked over.
Wu An lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think we can get back like this?"
Old Fu didn't say a word.
“There are many dangers in going to the island, but at least we can try!” Wu An patted him on the shoulder and asked, “How confident are you? Tell me the truth.”
Old Fu said bitterly, "I'm not sure."
"But you're right, if we drive back like this, I can say with certainty that we definitely won't make it back."
Wu An gave a wry smile: "Then let's head towards the islands and hopefully find a suitable safe haven."
It wasn't that he trusted Old Fu that much, but rather that the fishing boat's luck was rapidly declining.
What does this tell us?
This means that the fishing boat has not been in any trouble yet, which is not only due to Old Fu's excellent boat handling skills, but also because of good luck.
Wait until your luck points are depleted.
what happens?
He dared not think about it, so he could only take advantage of the fishing boat's remaining luck to send Old Fu closer to the island.
Old Fu nodded vigorously.
Wu An didn't leave; he watched as Old Fu took the helm.
The two had talked quite a bit and learned about each other's situation. They also knew that Old Fu had accidentally fallen into the sea from the trawler while working.
Given Old Fu's excellent boat-handling skills, he shouldn't be doing odd jobs on the boat, even if he's not the helmsman.
Although Wu An was curious, he didn't ask any more questions, as the current situation was not suitable for casual conversation.
He watched for a while, then went back to the boat awning.
I briefly explained the situation to reassure Aqing and his brother that Old Fu was heading towards the island, and once they found a safe harbor, they would be able to safely avoid the storm.
There's plenty of food and drink on board, so we should be able to weather any storms.
They were talking.
Old Fu's voice rang out: "Wu An, who of you goes to check? There's something on the sea."
Wu An and A Qing put on their raincoats, stepped out of the boat awning, and cautiously peered out at the sea.
"Brother, a sea turtle, a sea turtle!"
Aqing wiped the water off her face and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Wu An nodded.
It's a sea turtle!
It's the green sea turtle they rescued before.
He squinted and saw that there were even more green sea turtles this time than last time.
He shouted through a megaphone, "The waves are too big today, we have to take shelter from the storm, we don't have time to give you haircuts!"
I watched for a while.
Ah Qing shouted, "Brother, the sea turtle is gone, the sea turtle is gone!"
Wu An nodded.
One by one, the sea turtles sank into the seawater.
He and Aqing quickly returned to the cabin. Although there were ropes holding them up, it was still quite dangerous outside the cabin.
I had just squatted down for a short while.
Old Fu shouted again, "There's something on the sea!"
Holy crap!
"It's an orca!"
Wu An scratched his head. What was going on? It was one thing for sea turtles to come, but why were orcas here too? Were they just here to watch the show?
Ah Qing shouted, "Brother, toll fee!"
Wu An said irritably, "We can't accept it given our current situation."
Aqing was a little worried: "Is the orca coming for revenge this time?"
"..." Wu An was speechless: "I'll go take a look."
Aqing followed her out.
Several orcas bobbed in the waves. Wu An looked around and found orcas on both sides and in front of the fishing boat.
The pod of orcas seemed to have surrounded the fishing boat.
this……
It's like they're protecting them.
Wu An couldn't help but think about it, but then he felt that he might be overthinking it.
Ah Qing shouted, "Brother, the sea turtle, the sea turtle is here again."
Wu An nodded.
Aqing was a little excited: "Brother, do you think these orcas might have been summoned by the sea turtles?"
"The sea turtle repays its debt of gratitude."
“These sea turtles are very intelligent. You just said we were in trouble, so they probably went to find help.”
Wu An: "..."
Aqing became more and more agitated as she spoke: "We're not looking for a safe haven, why don't you let them take us to one?"
"They must know."
"Why don't you shout again and ask the sea turtles and killer whales to lead us to a safe harbor?"
"Then I'll give it a try." Wu An, still somewhat doubtful, grabbed the megaphone and shouted, "Hello everyone, have you eaten yet?"
"We need to find a safe haven."
You know, right?
“Take us there.”
"After this is done, I have nothing to repay you with, so I'll give you some food and drinks."
He repeated it several times.
Aqing stared intently: "Brother, do you think they understood?"
Wu Anxin said, "How would I know? It was your bad idea that made him look like an idiot, actually asking a sea turtle and a killer whale for help."
If this gets out, then...
Just as they were muttering to themselves, the orcas on both sides of the fishing boat suddenly approached, making it seem as if they were protecting the boat.
