Aqing scratched her head: "Why is the network port stuck?"
Mei Wu picked up the conversation, saying, "Too much fish? Didn't the net get so full of spiny pomfret that it almost got stuck and we couldn't open it?"
Wu An shook his head: "That's different."
"The network port is currently open."
"Fish are slippery, how could they possibly block the net opening?"
The Fan brothers looked at each other, completely bewildered by the current situation.
Fu Yongning said, "It's possible it wasn't a catch."
"Do you remember the petrified wood we caught during the sea trial?"
"I feel like the way the net bag looks when it's stretched open is a bit like that."
Ah Qing was greatly disappointed and exclaimed, "No way, that thing isn't worth much."
Wu An smiled.
Ah Qing, Ah Qing.
It's not that the ebony wood was worthless; it's just that there were too many people around, so he and Old Fu threw it back into the sea thinking it was dead wood. Old Fu even remembered the coordinates where they threw the ebony wood away.
Given the right opportunity, the submerged wood can be salvaged sooner or later.
If the net really catches some ebony, we can try to keep it. After all, everyone on this ship is one of our own and we can rely on them.
Fu Yongning took the walkie-talkie and told Old Fu to shake the crane arm.
soon.
The crane arm began to shake violently, and more fish fell down in sparse fashion.
But the network port is still being used.
There was no sign that anything inside had fallen out.
Old Fu said, "If you can't shake it off, either wait or try poking it with something."
Fu Yongning frowned and said, "If we poke it, what if there are fish inside? It might cause damage."
Old Fu: "Find some strips of cloth to wrap your head up, and be careful when you poke it."
Fu Yongning looked at Wu An.
Wu An nodded: "Then let's poke around a bit, we can't just wait like this."
It's a little past three o'clock now.
The sun is scorching. If we keep blocking the way like this, the fish will be baked in the sun and even if they fall to the ground, they won't be able to be sold.
Fu Yongning quickly found a suitable stick, wrapped it in his dirty clothes, and then carefully poked it. The next moment, with a "bang," a big thing fell out of the net bag.
It slammed onto the deck with a loud thud, shaking the entire fishing boat.
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
It's a swordfish!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting yet. Then, with a few more loud "bangs," several more swordfish fell out. Everyone's already wide eyes widened even more.
at last.
The catch, which had been blocked by swordfish, finally came crashing down, covering the seven swordfish.
Ah Qing pointed with her finger, her mouth trembling: "This...this...this..."
Fu Yongning scratched his head: "How could so many swordfish be caught in the net, and the trawl net hasn't even broken yet? That's really strange."
Aqing said, "I know."
"These swordfish probably didn't want to live, so they deliberately crawled into the trawl net to commit suicide."
Everyone:"……"
Mei Wu rolled his eyes. "I was actually expecting something just now. What kind of nonsense could A Qing possibly spout?"
Old Fu ran out of the cockpit.
He squatted down and touched the swordfish, examined it carefully, and said, "These swordfish are in a similar situation to those that were hit by Tiger earlier."
Wu An couldn't help but think of the pod of killer whales he had just encountered!
Holy crap!
Could it be what he's thinking?
No……
As Wu Anzheng was denying himself, he heard Hu Zi's whistling voice.
He quickly ran to the side of the boat to take a look.
Not only Tiger, but other orcas also poked their heads out, and various whistles mingled together, making a rather pleasant "whimpering" sound.
In fact.
These orcas used really foul language.
Of course, I wasn't insulting him, but rather Hu Zi.
Wu An greeted him with a smile.
Looking back, Fu Yongning and the Fan brothers were processing the swordfish. They quickly called Aqing and Meiwu to fetch ice, most of which was prepared for the orca pod.
It is impolite not to reciprocate.
Aside from providing some ice, he didn't know what the wild killer whale pods needed.
He also told Tiger.
There's a saying that goes, "A small gift carries great meaning."
Tiger said he didn't understand, but he enjoyed eating the ice cubes.
As Wu An and the other orcas lined up to eat the ice, he kept talking on Tiger's behalf, though it was unclear whether the orcas were listening.
The main whale is the alpha whale; the entire pod listens to her.
The lead whale ignored her, finished eating, and left, appearing quite aloof.
Wu An was also helpless.
The lead whale's eyes were exactly the same as when Li Juan looked at him before.
He was probably not a good person in the eyes of the alpha whale.
Finally, after all the orcas had finished eating the ice, Tiger slowly came to the side of the boat, greeted Wu An, and Wu An took the opportunity to help him restore his luck value to full.
"You haven't left?"
Tiger nodded.
"What were you doing near the fishing boat? Did you catch the swordfish in the trawl net?"
Tiger nodded.
"What happened? Did the swordfish provoke you?"
Tiger nodded vigorously.
"Were you just chased by a swordfish?"
Tiger nodded, then barked twice, his voice full of smugness, and even turned around in place, as if showing Wu An something.
Wu An understood and said, "Okay, okay, you're amazing. It's good that you're not injured."
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hu Zi was alright.
He couldn't imagine how dangerous it must have been for Tiger to be chased by a school of swordfish underwater; thankfully, he wasn't injured by them.
In his view.
The reason why Tiger was chased by the swordfish was mainly because of him.
If Hu Zi were injured or even suffer a serious accident, he would probably find it very difficult to overcome this mental hurdle.
After chatting with Tiger for a while, the lead whale called out twice. Tiger quickly said goodbye to Wu An, then obediently followed the pod of orcas and soon left.
"Was it done by a pod of killer whales?"
"Yeah, Tiger was being chased by these swordfish. A pod of orcas came over and helped Beard kill the swordfish, then threw them into our trawl net."
"No wonder we caught so many swordfish, but the net is still intact."
"So these swordfish were killed by orcas first and then thrown to us."
Aqing didn't react so quickly, belatedly realizing: "This is what they call killing someone to silence them, no, it's killing a fish to silence them."
Mei Wu joked, "To be precise, it's killing the killer whales. We're responsible for burying them, and after selling them to those vendors, these swordfish will be torn to pieces..."
Wu An coughed and said, "Alright, alright, you're getting more and more absurd."
Everyone burst into laughter.
That's like getting seven swordfish for free, which is equivalent to getting two or three hundred thousand for free!
It would be strange if I wasn't happy.
After processing the swordfish, the fourth net was successfully cast into the sea. Everyone continued to sort the catch, as both the ice storage and the live fish hold were almost completely empty.
Everyone was very happy about this. They estimated that after pulling two or three more times, the account would be liquidated, and then they would have to return to base.
