After packing up the longline fishing catch, everyone had dinner.
It's quite simple.
We didn't finish our lunch, and we also had some braised dishes that we bought from Lao Jiang.
Everyone drank a bottle of wine to relieve their fatigue.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Aqing couldn't stay idle and took out her fishing rod.
"Go fishing?"
Mei Wu was the first to respond: "Okay."
Have you ever fished?
"Of course, but I haven't fished at sea since."
"They're all pretty much the same," Aqing said simply. Wu An and the others also took out their fishing gear, ready to fish for a while.
no way.
This is one of the only ways to deplete your luck points.
Add some points.
Each person's fishing rod was of varying quality, and a total of 40 luck points were consumed.
not bad.
Old Fu steered his fishing boat a little closer to the island. The tide was still coming in, making it a perfect time for fishing.
I just cast the line.
Everyone started yawning.
I'm so sleepy and tired.
From the early hours of the morning until now, everyone has basically had no rest. They only managed to doze off for a short while while traveling, but it was not enough.
I didn't feel anything while I was working.
Once you've eaten and drunk your fill and have some free time, a sudden wave of sleepiness washes over you.
"ha……"
Ah Qing looked up and yawned widely. Seeing the rod tip sink, he then lifted the rod to set the hook. To show respect for the fish, he slightly raised his droopy eyelids.
But the increase was very limited.
After a while, they pulled up a black sea bream.
Following closely behind, Mei Wu, Wu Ping, Lao Fu Tou, and Wu An caught fish one after another.
With the added bonus of luck, everyone turned into yawning "fishing machines," genuinely happy to see fish catching one after another, but also unable to truly smile.
It's not that I don't want to laugh, it's that I'm too tired to laugh anymore.
I fished for a while.
Wu An pulled up a grouper, and after his luck ran out, he threw down his fishing rod, too lazy to bother anymore, and leaned against the net basket next to him: "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to sleep for a while."
I just finished speaking.
Then the snoring started.
Wu Ping glanced at him helplessly, yawned, and went into the cabin. He found a shirt and covered Wu An's stomach with it. The setting sun was hanging in the western sky, and it was getting windy. He was covered in sweat and didn't want to catch a cold.
Ah Qing, though not very tall, managed to get away with it.
After fishing for more than an hour, the catch gradually diminished. Old Fu looked at the fish that everyone had caught and said, "We've been fishing for so long, and we're not even as good as Ah An who fished for a while."
Wu An caught two grouper and several tiger grouper, mostly valuable species.
They caught a variety of fish, all sorts, but none of them were very valuable.
Aqing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's normal."
Old Fu went to set sail.
He didn't yawn much, and he was genuinely tired, but he could endure it and even told everyone that this was how it was when he worked on the ship before.
They work non-stop, squeezing in time to rest.
That's real hard work.
This is nothing.
Aqing and Meiwu couldn't take it anymore, so they lay down next to Wu An and fell asleep.
Wu Ping also thought it was alright and said, "Grandpa Fu, let's go for a walk on the island."
"The tide is just going out at this point."
"Let's see if we can go beachcombing or explore the ponds on the island."
Old Fu nodded.
We sailed the boat closer to the island.
Before it got dark, the two went ashore.
Unfortunately, after touring the island, they found it extremely barren and returned empty-handed.
It was already dark when we got back to the ship.
...
Wu An was woken up by the noise.
He vaguely heard Old Fu cursing, rubbed his eyes, sat up, and asked, "What's going on?"
Wu Ping turned around and said with a wry smile, "The big fish got away by pushing against our longline."
"Huh?" Wu An instantly woke up upon hearing this.
He quickly scrambled to his feet, stood by the side of the boat, and looked in the direction of the boat's lights. Holy crap, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Damn, no way, it's that giant grouper?"
"That's going too far!"
"You ate my fish, and I haven't even done anything to you yet, are you never going to stop?"
That's what he and Old Fu were worried about.
As it turns out, my worries were justified.
I traveled all this way to use a longline, and this dead fish actually followed me.
Okay, okay.
Is this how you play the game?
You win!
You were right to bully someone.
Aqing and Meiwu also got up, and when they saw what was happening, they were dumbfounded.
"You damn bastard, come up here if you dare, I'll beat you to death!" Aqing jumped up and cursed.
Mei Wu said with a dark face, "This fish could have been caught by longline, but it kept running around our fishing boat."
"provocative."
"This was absolutely intentional!"
At this time.
The big fish, with the longline, ran over and reached the side of the boat. It flipped over and slammed its tail hard into the water with a loud "splash." The seawater surged, and if Wu An and the others hadn't dodged quickly, they would have been soaked to the bone.
Enraged, Wu An grabbed a harpoon and threw it down.
Wu Ping tried to stop him but failed.
"Oh dear, how can you even stick it in? What a waste of a harpoon."
After saying that, he sighed.
I went out to sea to fish, and the fish got me into trouble.
What's the big deal?
If I told anyone, no one would believe me.
"That fish is definitely a bully in the sea," Aqing cursed. "It's probably trying to get protection money from us."
"Grass."
“I was bullied like this when I was in school.”
"I paid it again and again, and if I didn't pay it even once, I would be beaten."
Ah Qing used very foul language, clearly indicating that the bullying giant grouper's behavior had touched a nerve with him.
Wu An was also very frustrated.
It's like when it rains, it pours. He was already annoyed that he hadn't used up all his luck points, and then a bully fish came along and ruined both of his longline catches.
The losses were quite severe.
Just as everyone was helplessly raging on the ship, a clear cry came from not far away. Wu An's face lit up with joy. The sound was either an orca or a dolphin!
He quickly shouted, "Old Fu, turn on the light and shine it towards the source of the sound!"
Judging from the sound, it shouldn't be too far away.
The lights were very bright; they were specially equipped on the fishing boat. Wu An looked up and could see several figures swimming quickly under the lights, occasionally leaping out of the water.
They are orcas!
The last time we met was when the storm rescued Old Fu. The orcas brought us a lot of manta rays, and they returned some manta rays. After all that, we should be considered friends.
Then asking them for help should work, right?
Wu An had no other choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
Give it a try.
He found a megaphone and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Orcas, cubs, it's me!"
"I need your help."
"Look here!"
Holding a megaphone, he shouted several times in a row.
Old Fu turned around and said, "Ah An, don't waste your energy. It was just a coincidence that the orca helped us before."
"Judging from the direction these orcas are heading, they are clearly just passing by."
"It's impossible for him to turn around on purpose."
Mei Wu was accompanying them for the first time and was unaware of the connection between Wu An and the orcas. Seeing Wu An actually asking the orcas for help was even more shocking than seeing the giant grouper holding a grudge and coming to cause trouble.
What's going on here?
Are you here to go out to sea to fish, or to play house?
