Seeing that Wu An remained silent, seemingly deep in thought, Old Fu said, "An, still thinking about bird's nest?"
"I don't want to think about it anymore." Wu An gathered his thoughts and said, "Let's go collect the fish traps. If we delay any longer, we'll have to eat lunch on the boat again."
Aqing's eyes lit up, and she said, "Let's steam a mackerel."
Wu An nodded: "Okay, let's find a bigger one."
"Let's steam one."
"Boiled shrimp with whiskers, and there's also oil-fried eel, one pan-fried."
Ah Qing said, "Brother, are we just eating seafood?"
Seafood is good.
You can eat it every day, but you'll get tired of eating dragon liver and chicken feet.
Wu An said, "Let's stir-fry some vegetables too."
"Just take a bite, that'll have to do."
Mei Wu's lips twitched slightly.
Ordering a few dishes at a restaurant will easily cost several hundred yuan.
If others heard this, they would definitely give Wu An and A Qing a few dirty looks.
Back to the center line.
Old Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Qing, who had been looking through binoculars, said, "Brother, they haven't caught up."
Mei Wu said, "That's for sure."
"Things are different now than they were a few years ago; the balance of power has shifted."
"They can still act arrogantly on their side, but they wouldn't dare cross the center line even if they had a hundred lives."
Old Fu said, "It's just that our boat is small. If there were several boats together, we wouldn't need to be afraid of them, unless we provoke their coast guard."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh.
The coast guard vessels from that side often use the pretext of "crossing the border" to drive away or even ram their fishing boats, and there have been incidents of them detaining fishermen.
Wu An said, "Okay, then let's form a fleet and go to that island again."
Old Fu, taking Wu An's joke as a joke, said, "That would require a large ship, dozens of meters long. A fleet like that would leave even the coast guard ships clueless."
Ah Qing excitedly shouted, "Brother, let's do it!"
"Let's drive over there and make them so angry they'll gnash their teeth."
"We want to do it, but we don't dare to. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
Mei Wu remained silent.
What's the point of talking about something that's not even true? You might as well save your breath and have a smoke.
I finally had some free time.
Wu An went to see the yellowfin tuna and took a lot of photos with his phone. He has a lot of photos saved on his phone, which he can show to Gu Anran later.
When two people are together, they can't just chat randomly after that, right? With these photos, they have more topics to talk about.
Gu Anran likes to watch it.
I also enjoyed listening to him talk about his experiences on the ship.
We returned to Cliff Island at exactly 12 noon.
Old Fu asked, "Ah An, shall we begin the salvage operation?"
Wu An shook his head: "Let's eat first."
"I didn't get to eat breakfast this morning because of the yellowfin fry."
"Eat well, rest for a while, and then do your homework."
Everyone was exhausted.
I've only slept a few hours from yesterday to today. Although I've been resting on and off, I'm actually quite tired. I just had a quick bite this morning.
Not to mention Aqing, even he was finding it hard to keep up.
Mei Wu volunteered to cook.
Wu Anle was enjoying his leisure time, scanning the sea with his binoculars.
Aqing asked, "Brother, are you looking for Huzi?"
Wu An nodded.
Aqing laughed and said, "Forget it. Even if Huzi is intelligent and can understand what you're saying, he still can't come to see you as agreed."
"Stop daydreaming."
Wu An kicked him: "Get out of here."
"What are you saying?"
"Go help Brother Wu cook."
Aqing dodged the kick and walked away with a chuckle.
Wu An searched again but still found nothing. Somewhat frustrated, he put down his binoculars. It seemed he had been overthinking things; being able to get close to orcas was already quite an achievement.
He shouldn't ask for more.
Just as I turned around and walked toward the boat awning, I heard a sharp scream.
It's Tiger's voice!
Wu An turned around and saw a huge figure leaping up and down on the sea not far away.
It's an orca!
He really came!
Wu An was overjoyed: "Aqing, come out quickly!"
"No, go get the shrimp."
"Take two baskets first."
Ah Qing ran out and saw the orca heading straight for the fishing boat. His eyes widened in disbelief: "Holy crap, it actually came to meet me!"
Even dogs would call him "Big Brother".
Mei Wu and Old Fu also came out to see, both of them looking dumbfounded.
The orca came up to them.
Orcas all look pretty much the same, the only difference being their size. Wu An recognized him at a glance; this was Tiger, the one he was very close to.
"Okay, okay."
"Come on, open your mouth."
Wu An lifted the net basket.
Tiger seemed to understand and opened his mouth wide in response.
Splash!
Most of the shrimp fell into the seawater, and only a small portion was eaten by Tiger.
Wu An was pleased.
Two baskets were dumped in a row.
Tiger seemed to have eaten his fill, and suddenly dived into the sea.
"Brother, Tiger's gone?" Aqing stared at the sea for a while, but didn't see Tiger's figure, and was a little surprised.
Wu An shook his head, thinking to himself that this shouldn't be the case.
Tiger used to always say goodbye to him whenever he left.
Not long after.
A large, dark shadow rapidly approached from beneath the surface of the sea. Immediately afterward, the killer whale's tail suddenly lashed out, and something flew through the air in an arc towards the fishing boat.
Wu An's expression changed drastically. He shouted for them to get away quickly, and pulled A Qing down to lie down. The two of them pressed themselves against the side of the boat, not daring to move.
It wasn't until they heard a "bang" that the two cautiously raised their heads and turned to look. There was a sea turtle lying on the deck.
Ah Qing got up, went over to look, and shouted, "Brother, there are traces of barnacles being cleaned on its back. It's the sea turtle we rescued."
"The orca must have caught this sea turtle and brought it to us to repay you for feeding it shrimp."
"Hahaha."
After saying that, he was overjoyed.
Wu An was both amused and exasperated. He would have gladly accepted the manta ray, but he dared not accept the sea turtle. He squatted down to check on the sea turtle's condition.
When the sea turtle saw him, it slightly moved its webbed feet.
"It should be fine." Wu An noticed that the sea turtle's movements were getting bigger and bigger, and it was chewing on something. He couldn't help but have an idea and put his hand in front of the sea turtle: "What are you eating? Spit it out so I can see."
The sea turtle opened its mouth and spat it out with a "plop".
Wu An looked down and his face lit up with joy. He quickly put his hands into the bucket to wash them.
Take it out and look at it again.
Just as expected!
Another wisp of ambergris.
Wu An patted the sea turtle's head: "You're quite kind of yourself, sending me such a generous gift."
The sea turtle glanced at him.
He didn't say anything.
If he were to actually say something, it would terrify Wu An.
Ah Qing said, "Brother, you're really trying to make yourself look good."
"This sea turtle was caught by Tiger, not specifically to find you."
"You were the one who stole the sea turtle."
Wu An kicked him directly.
Aqing dodged, dodged again, dodged again... but then she couldn't dodge and got kicked, and she became obedient.
