Wu An called out, and a larger one came closer, nudging Wu An's palm with a kiss.
Wu An said, "I won't hide it from you anymore."
"I have a pretty close relationship with dolphins."
“You’re an old fisherman too, so you should know that dolphins are very intelligent and understand human nature.”
Ah Qing interjected, "Big brother, you don't need to be afraid."
"The dolphins can definitely lead us out of the fog."
"I know that all the dolphins in the aquarium can even do a lot of difficult stunts with people. It's not difficult for a dolphin to carry us out of the fog."
"You're right, aren't you?"
Hai Shen: "..."
Looking at the dolphins around them, and then at the serious-looking Wu An and the others.
Is this... correct?
Hai Shen hesitated for a while before saying, "A'an, have you discussed this with the others?"
Wu An nodded.
We entered the cockpit.
Old Fu, puffing on his cigarette, chuckled and said, "This is the only way right now."
"Dolphins are our friends, and there have been instances where dolphins have helped our fishermen."
"To be honest, we've had several dealings with dolphins before, and we have a pretty good relationship."
Hai Shen has nothing to say.
He sought out Old Fu to persuade Wu An, but even this old man proved unreliable.
Wu An said, "Brother Hai, you are the captain, you need to make a decision as soon as possible."
"Once the typhoon gets close, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
In short.
They don't have much time left.
The sea depth has been determined, and there is still a lot of work to be done for the crew members.
Wu An still really wanted to leave with everyone.
He also knew that Hai Shen and the others wouldn't trust him so easily, so he didn't need to reveal the secret of his good relationship with the sea dolphins.
In his view, these secrets are not as important as human lives.
Hai Shen smoked two cigarettes in a row. This decision was too difficult to make. To entrust his life to a group of dolphins was something he found incredibly crazy.
But what if we don't leave?
When the typhoon hit, they had no choice but to seek refuge on the island. It's not that the fishing boats would definitely be destroyed, but it's absolutely impossible for them to survive.
He said, "I'll go back and discuss it."
Wu An nodded: "Half an hour."
"If you still can't make a decision, we'll have to leave on our own."
“I would never joke about my own life or everyone else’s lives. Dolphins really can bring us back to port.”
Hai Shen nodded and returned to the Rongfeng without saying a word.
Hai Shen gathered all the crew members in the cabin and briefly explained the current situation.
A moment of silence followed.
"Brother Hai, you didn't call us over here just to say this, did you?"
"What do you want to say? Just say it."
"yes."
Hai Shen stubbed out his cigarette and said, "Wu An, the owner of the Ping An fishing boat, can take us back to port."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then started shouting all at once.
"Really?"
"How can he get us back to Hong Kong under these circumstances?"
"Isn't he trapped himself too?"
"If you could take us back, that would be wonderful."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry back. It's already dark and there's a thick fog. If we don't leave now, we might not be able to get back."
Hai Shen raised his hand and pressed it down. After it quieted down, he said, "He wants the dolphins to take us back."
"I just went to see those dolphins too."
"He is very intelligent and can make some intimate gestures with Wu An."
Everyone was completely shocked when they heard this.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Shall we have the dolphins take us back?"
"What if the dolphins escape halfway and leave us behind?"
"What if they lead us further and further astray?"
"Brother Hai, what are your thoughts?"
Hai Shen took out another cigarette and said, "If you ask for my opinion, I can only tell you that I want to go with them."
"Let me share my personal opinion."
"Xiao Shen just told me that Wu An is very lucky. He invited me to go with him before, but I didn't go. As a result, he went out for a day and brought back a catch worth hundreds of thousands."
"A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."
“This time, I want to go with him.”
Helmsman Xiao Shen nodded and said, "How could I joke about my own name? If he wants to follow the dolphins, he must think it's feasible."
“I also agree to go with Wu An.”
Someone else slammed their fist on the table and shouted, "I disagree!"
"If we take refuge on the island, we can always get through the typhoon safely."
Why risk your life alongside them?
"Yeah, we're just working, why are we risking our lives!"
"I think that kid is just grasping at straws in his desperation."
"Yes, his fishing boat still has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of catch, he certainly doesn't want to just throw it into the sea."
Hai Shen said, "I also reported this situation to the boss."
"The boss said that if we can get the boat back to port, we can have all the money from this catch."
"Now let's raise our hands."
"The minority shall obey the majority. If they really do not want to follow, then those who do not want to go to the island."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Hai Shen finished smoking a cigarette and raised his hand.
Xiao Shen then raised his hand.
A few seconds later, someone else raised their hand as well.
Hai Shen looked around and said, "Alright, since everyone is willing to go back, I will inform Wu An immediately."
He got up and left.
Even after he left, some people still complained that it was too risky.
Xiao Shen said, "If that's the case, then why did you raise your hand?"
The man muttered under his breath, "You've all gone to wash your hands, and I'm the only one left on the island. How am I supposed to survive?"
Xiao Shen sneered: "Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well take a gamble."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The boat had a good catch; if it were all distributed to them, it would be a considerable sum of money.
Money can be a powerful motivator.
...
Wu An was quite surprised to hear Hai Shen say that most people would probably be willing to follow.
"Have you told me everything?"
"I said so."
"So everyone's willing?"
"If there's money to be made, you have to be willing whether you like it or not. Besides, even if you hide on an island, you're not guaranteed to be 100% safe."
Hai Shen felt that although the weather conditions were very bad, it was not impossible to sail the boat back if they were careful.
Now that we even have dolphins helping us, it's even more worth the gamble.
To put it bluntly...
With Wu An's Ping An ship ahead, they can react promptly should any danger arise.
He only thought these things to himself; he would never say them aloud.
Wu An informed Old Fu.
Old Fu responded and immediately set sail.
Wu An stood at the bow of the boat, constantly observing the dolphins' movements.
Everyone was still a little nervous.
Old Fu's expression was serious, and he did not rashly increase the speed of the boat.
Ah Qing said, "Old Fu, speed it up!"
"At this rate, we won't even reach the dock by tomorrow."
"With my brother as our mascot at the bow, even reefs and fishing boats have to steer clear of us."
Old Fu didn't say a word.
Ah Qing's words are quite unreliable, but there's no way to refute them.
