Wu An hesitated for a moment, then shouted to Old Fu, "Old Fu, start the fishing boat, let's follow Tiger."
Old Fu nodded.
Start the fishing boat.
Tiger was very clever. He noticed that the fishing boat was moving and immediately swam towards the orca pod.
Fishing boats followed closely behind.
Mei Wu looked on with surprise and uncertainty: "Could we be wrong? Tiger might just be going back to the whale pod, not taking us to find the fish pod."
Wu An was also feeling uneasy.
He didn't know either.
Although he was able to communicate with Hu Zi, it was only because Hu Zi was smart; he could only guess based on Hu Zi's reactions.
He said, "It's okay even if I guess wrong."
"As long as you don't get too close to the orca pod, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Aqing said confidently, "Don't worry."
"Tiger is definitely calling you."
“They looked exactly like me, except they couldn’t speak.”
Mei Wu fell silent.
Actually, he was instinctively a little scared when orcas approached schools of fish.
Orcas are too big.
Moreover, it's too dangerous.
If they really go berserk, they're like ants, completely powerless to fight back.
But it is indeed true that the orca led them to the school of fish last time.
Wu An also thought the same way.
Becoming friends with Hu Zi was incredibly beneficial for him at sea.
He needs to try more.
Try to communicate, exchange ideas, and get to know Tiger as much as possible, ideally establishing a seamless communication system.
It's not a big deal if you make a mistake.
In his mind, communicating with Hu Zi was very important, even more so than the fishing operation.
After driving for about ten minutes, Tiger returned to the orca pod.
Old Fu reduced the boat's speed.
They didn't approach rashly.
Each person had a pair of binoculars to observe.
Previously, there was only one telescope on the ship, which was inconvenient for several people to take turns using it. After returning to town, Wu An bought several more telescopes according to the number of people.
Tiger entered the whale pod and found the largest killer whale in the pod, which was probably Tiger's mother or grandmother.
Why do I say that?
Because killer whale pods are typical matriarchal societies, the pods are led by older females who use their extensive knowledge and experience to guide the entire pod.
"Smack!"
Tiger was rammed hard by the lead whale, creating a huge splash.
Wu An and Mei Wu were startled.
Ah Qing remained calm and explained, "Brother Wu, brother, don't panic, this is normal."
Mei Wu was speechless: "How is this normal?"
Aqing said, "Before, when I went to visit my brother, my mom would also scold me like this."
Wu An: "..."
Although I really didn't want to admit it, what Aqing said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Aqing continued, "Just wait, the orca pod will soon lead us to the fish school."
"Although my mom will scold me, she will still entertain my brother."
"I think Tiger's people will be just as hospitable as my mother."
The lead whale whipped Tiger's tail a few more times.
Tiger let out a sharp cry, as if arguing his case.
Not long after.
The orca pod, which had been circling around, changed course and swam towards the fishing boat.
The largest orca was still leading the way.
Tiger followed beside him.
After arriving at the fishing boat, Tiger barked. Wu An couldn't understand what it was saying, but he could sense a hint of joy and boastfulness in the bark.
It was as if he had done something good and was showing it off to Wu An.
Seeing that the orca pod parted to both sides after approaching the fish and did not attack the fish, Mei Wu, who was tense, was completely relieved.
Old Fu drove at full speed, following the orca pod with all his might.
It is worth mentioning that the direction the orca pod headed was almost exactly the same as the direction Wu An had previously planned.
Wu An and Old Fu discussed it at the dock.
At present.
They now have a fixed route, which is the route between Life Island and Cliff Island, but they have run this route too many times. No matter how good the resources are, they can't keep exploiting them like this.
After discussing it, the two decided to head northeast from the Twin Islands towards the central line.
Wu An also had a small idea: to find out as much as possible about the waters near the islands suspected of having bird's nests, so that he wouldn't accidentally cross the line again and be chased by the other side in a panic.
After following them for half an hour, the orca pod showed no sign of stopping.
on deck.
Mei Wu was a little worried: "I'm still worried that the orca pod isn't leading us to the fish school."
Tiger is very intelligent and perceptive.
The orca pod did indeed lead them to the fish last time.
But Tiger isn't human, and the last time might have been a fluke.
Mei Wu still couldn't completely trust Hu Zi.
Aqing countered, "Huzi led us to find schools of fish, so why are the orca pods coming to find us?"
Mei Wu said, "They just think it's fun."
Aqing scratched her head: "If you put it that way, then that's possible."
Wu An remained silent.
We'll have to wait and see how it goes.
Old Fu shouted.
Wu An walked over.
Old Fu said, "I don't think the orca pod is going to stop at all. At this speed, it won't take more than two hours to reach the reef on the middle line."
Wu An thought for a moment and said, "It's alright, just follow along!"
"Tiger is coming along this time. What if the other party is foolish enough to come looking for trouble?"
"Then let them know who the real kings and queens are."
Although he damaged one of the other party's fishing boats last time, he was still driven away by them in the end, and Wu An was still holding back his anger.
Old Fu took out a cigarette, lit it, and nodded with a smile.
With Tiger by my side, I'm definitely not worried.
They followed for over an hour, almost two hours in total, until it was completely light out, a little past six in the morning.
Mei Wu came to ask if they should continue.
He was already getting a little anxious.
Normally, fishing boats of their size operate within a two- or three-hour radius, but they have already traveled more than four hours by boat from the dock to now.
It takes eight hours to go there and back.
He felt that the orca pods were either leading them to schools of fish or scaring them away at sea.
Ah Qing's analysis might be quite accurate.
But orcas are sea creatures.
Wu An thought what he said made sense, so he let Old Fu continue to follow along while he prepared to make breakfast.
Are you hungry?
"Brother, I'm hungry."
"Let's have something simple for breakfast, like some rice noodles."
Boil water.
Soak the rice noodles until they soften and then cook them in the pot.
Take it out, and then use the pickled vegetables as a topping.
While eating, we gazed at the distant rock formations.
After Wu An finished eating, he went to relieve Old Fu. Old Fu had only taken two steps when he suddenly picked up his binoculars: "There's a school of fish!"
"The orca pod also stopped swimming forward and started circling."
"Finally caught up with them."
Aqing brought over a bowl of rice noodles: "Old Fu, eat first."
Old Fu took the bowl and put it aside: "A'an, quickly move it."
"I'll drive there."
"Go and prepare to throw the net."
Wu An frowned: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Old Fu glared: "Eat what?!"
"I'm not hungry."
Stop dawdling.
Wu An quickly stepped aside.
Old Fu took the helm and slightly adjusted the boat's course, allowing the fishing boat to cut in at an angle.
Mei Wu and A Qing tidied up the net.
Wu An wasn't idle either; he boosted the luck value of the fishing boat so that it could gather the fish and prevent them from scattering quickly.
The fishing boat had just approached the school of fish.
Wu An stood on the beach with his net, but before he could cast the first net, a killer whale's large head popped out of the water and called out twice at him.
Upon seeing this, Mei Wu asked, "What does this mean?"
Aqing casually remarked, "Can't you even tell?"
"He led us to the school of fish."
"I was just hoping you'd praise me, brother."
Wu An patted Hu Zi's head happily: "Well done."
