We finished collecting all the traps just after 11 a.m.
My account was liquidated.
There were so many stone crabs that we had to put them on the deck. Luckily they were stone crabs, which weren't anything special to begin with, and they were quite resilient.
It can last a long time even without being placed in water.
Aqing helps by sprinkling water, which can keep it going for a long time.
Old Fu said, "Shall we wait until midnight?"
Wu An nodded.
Old Fu said, "That's no problem."
Aqing and Meiwu had no objections.
Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so I might as well just rest there.
Wu An is waiting for Hu Zi.
He boiled water to make tea.
Everyone was quite comfortable inside the boat awning, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking tea.
Aqing asked, "Brother, it's almost 12 o'clock."
I'm a little hungry.
"How about we have lunch on the ship? We can have it around one or two in the afternoon."
Wu Angang nodded, but before he could speak, he heard a familiar and pleasant voice.
It's Tiger!
Wu An quickly got up, opened the door, and stepped out of the boat awning.
He saw the divine eagle in the distance and was overjoyed, waving his hand vigorously: "Tiger, Tiger!"
Tiger barked twice in response.
After getting close.
Tiger suddenly sank into the sea.
Wu An was stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled A Qing and Mei Wu, who had come out to watch the commotion, to hide by the side of the boat. The next moment, Hu Zi rushed out of the sea, his head already above the fishing boat.
He then tossed his head onto the boat.
A dark shadow flew through the air in an arc and landed steadily on the deck.
Aqing muttered, "Brother, you have to talk to Huzi. He can't give gifts like that next time. What if someone gets hurt?"
Wu An pointed and asked, "Take a look and see what it is?"
Ah Qing looked on and said, "It's just a sea turtle, not even as good as a manta ray..."
"Ah, a sea turtle?"
"You asked Tiger to go find a sea turtle, and he actually caught one and brought it over."
"Holy crap!"
Mei Wu was also shocked. He couldn't help but look at Hu Zi, who was swimming around the fishing boat, and sighed that the guy's intelligence was almost indistinguishable from that of a human.
Wu An quickly fed Tiger and said, "Tiger, you've worked hard."
"Thanks."
"Enough said. If you ever need my help in the future, just come to me."
He made many promises.
Tiger also started barking.
The two of them, one human and one whale, started chatting. As they ate, Tiger suddenly let out a joyful cry.
Wu An understood: "Are you full?"
"Okay."
"Tiger, I'll come back here tomorrow."
"If you're free, come over and meet me. I've prepared something delicious for you."
Tiger barked twice, then plunged into the sea.
They're gone.
They look quite anxious.
Wu An expressed his understanding, saying that the fact that he had not found any trace of the orca pod meant that Tiger had secretly brought the sea turtle to see him because of their agreement.
Thinking about this, Wu An couldn't help but touch his nose.
He seems like a bad student who leads good students astray.
After Hu Zi disappeared from sight, they suddenly heard A Qing shout, "Brother, brother, come quick! There's something in this turtle's mouth!"
Wu An hurried over to check.
Originally, the silly sea turtle slowly raised its head when it saw Wu An coming over.
Ah Qing shouted, "Brother, just like Hu Zi, this sea turtle recognizes you too."
Mei Wu pointed to the sea turtle's shell and said, "There are traces of barnacles being removed from it, so you must have rescued them before."
Ah Qing then noticed and nodded, saying, "That's true."
Wu An squatted down and looked into the sea turtle's eyes. He saw the same light in the sea turtle's eyes as he had seen in Hu Zi. He tentatively reached out his hand and said, "Spit what's in your mouth back into my mouth."
The little sea turtle's eyes darted around.
Originally, that was the case.
He was incredibly excited when he landed on the boat and saw Wu An.
I've finally met my benefactor!
He felt he was saved.
result.
As he listened, he realized that his benefactor was actually the culprit who caused his abduction by the orca.
Everyone else... no, even the turtle was dumbfounded.
What's this called?
Have you fallen into a den of thieves?
Looking at its benefactor, who meant no harm, the turtle hesitated for a moment before spitting out what was in its mouth.
Wu An didn't care about anything else and rinsed it with water.
As expected.
It's ambergris.
Ah Qing was overjoyed: "Brother, brother, you did it!"
"We can send Tiger to catch even more sea turtles."
"Then we'll be able to get ambergris continuously."
Wu An hesitated.
This is one solution.
However, Mr. Zhang said that these ambergris pieces were taken from a large piece of ambergris, and from the current perspective, it is clear that they were bitten off by a sea turtle.
The sea turtle colony must live in a place with ambergris.
When they have nothing to do, they bite on ambergris for fun!
What a waste!
If Old Zhang knew, he might give these sea turtles a big competition.
Wu An wanted to use the sea turtle to directly obtain ambergris.
He looked at the sea turtle: "Brother Turtle, can you understand human speech?"
"I want this stuff you vomited up."
"Could you take me there?"
Under his gaze, the sea turtle nodded.
Ah Qing was overjoyed and jumped up excitedly.
Mei Wu, unable to hide his excitement, asked, "Can it really understand human speech?"
The sea turtle ignored him.
Wu An extended his hand: "Let's shake hands."
The sea turtle lifted its webbed feet.
Wu An was overjoyed.
The barnacles on the turtle's back had previously called out to him for help, which wasn't just out of instinct, but because the turtle truly understood human nature.
This is too far-fetched.
After thinking about it, Wu An realized that there was nothing he couldn't accept.
He even has a system.
It's reasonable that Tiger and Sea Turtle share some human traits, right?
Aqing and Meiwu were both happy and depressed. Just like Huzi, the sea turtle still only recognized Wu An.
Wu An asked, "Can you take me there now?"
The sea turtle nodded.
Wu An quickly picked up the sea turtle and threw it back.
After falling into the sea, the sea turtle sank directly into the water.
Wu An asked Old Fu to set sail.
After standing by the boat and waiting for quite a while, I still didn't see the sea turtle surface.
What's going on?
Aqing scratched her head: "Brother, why isn't the sea turtle here to lead the way?"
Mei Wu hesitated: "You're not lying to us, are you?"
Wu An: "..."
This makes me feel like a Muggle.
I'm on my way north.
I actually got tricked by a sea turtle?
Nobody would believe this if I told them.
After waiting a while longer, there was still no sign of the sea turtle. Old Fu looked at the three brothers lying on the side of the boat, staring at the sea like "waiting-for-husband rocks," and laughed, "Alright, stop looking."
"That sea turtle is smart; it must be terrified to have been caught by Tiger."
"Get back into the sea and run away as fast as you can."
Aqing said dejectedly, "Then we won't be able to find the ambergris."
Wu An said, "Don't rush."
"If Tiger can catch someone once, he can catch them a second time."
Let's talk about it next time.
Old Fu nodded and said with a smile, "Not bad, Ah An has a pretty stable mindset."
Wu An gave a bitter laugh.
Let Old Fu head the boat and return to port.
The allure of ambergris is undeniable, but the catch on this boat is also quite valuable. In fact, it would be rather inconvenient for sea turtles to take them there with a boat full of fish.
This is good.
Let's go back first and travel light next time.
He was considering whether, on his next trip to sea, instead of fishing, he should specifically look for ambergris.
