Chapter 244: We Have People at Sea

Wu An pulled A Qing back to the cabin.

Wu Ping curiously asked about the situation.

A Qing shouted excitedly, "Amazing, truly amazing."

"We weren't helping the sea turtle shave its head, were we? Today the sea turtle called the killer whale to help."

"We've collected tolls from that group of killer whales."

"They seem to understand human speech."

"No, they only listen to big brother."

Wu Ping smirked and said, "A An, I didn't expect that you still have people at sea—no, they're not people, they should be helpers."

Wu An coughed twice and said, "They have spirituality, but I have no melons in the rain."

He staggered over to Lao Fu Tou and explained the situation.

Lao Fu Tou also looked astonished: "Really? If you say that, it's also a coincidence—the killer whale ahead really seems to be leading the way."

Amid the wind and waves, a small island loomed in the distance.

Lao Fu Tou's face grew grave: "With such huge wind and waves, we can't observe the reefs."

Even before he spoke, even if we saw it, trying to avoid it wouldn't necessarily let us escape the wind and waves.

Wu An saw the killer whale leading ahead change its swimming direction and shouted, "Lao Fu, follow the killer whale."

Lao Fu Tou glared: "Really follow it?"

Wu An countered, "If we don't follow it, are you confident we can get close to the island?"

Lao Fu Tou gritted his teeth: "I'll listen to you."

Wu An looked at both sides of the fishing boat; as the boat adjusted its direction, the killer whales on both sides also began to swim along.

Are they just playing around?

Or are they actually escorting the fishing boat?

Who cares!

What lies before Wu An and them is not a multiple-choice question.

As A Qing said, the sea turtle repays its kindness!

Although what A Qing said is somewhat too fantastical, he is also willing to believe that this group of spiritual sea turtles, still accompanying the fishing boat in this situation, wants to help him.

Under the killer whales' guidance, the fishing boat slowly approached the island.

No accidents.

Lao Fu Tou pointed ahead and shouted excitedly, "Look at this island—it resembles a person's upper body, one side a cliff, the other like a person opening arms in an embrace."

"We now need to enter the embracing bay."

"Inside is a natural harbor."

"I've seen this island before, but because there are many hidden reefs, I've never gotten close to it."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became.

"One can't help but be excited—once we enter the bay, we'll survive!"

Wu An was also pleased, saying, "Lao Fu, it's good you're here; otherwise we couldn't have gotten here."

Lao Fu laughed, "We also need to thank the killer whale that led the way."

Wu An nodded.

Yes.

We also need to thank them.

……

Xixi Village.

Suddenly the weather changed, wind blew and rain fell, and every household was busy gathering clothes.

Mei Yueqin finished putting away the clothes, looking at the wind and rain outside, her heart was in turmoil, her spirit agitated, she called Wu An and Wu Ping.

Both were out of service range.

Couldn't get through!

This shows Wu An and them are still at sea.

Wu Yingwei called, saying the wind and waves were a bit big, he was going to the dock to keep an eye on things and wouldn't come back for lunch; Mei Yueqin hesitated repeatedly and said, "Dad, there's something……"

"A An and them have gone out to sea."

"I also can't reach them; they should……still be at sea."

"Dad, what should we do?" Mei Yueqin gripped her phone, voice trembling with tears: "This……this wind is getting bigger and bigger; the wind and waves at sea must be even bigger, right?"

"Not necessarily." Wu Yingwei comforted her, saying, "Call them, keep calling."

"I'm going to the dock."

"Don't worry too much."

After hanging up, Wu Yingwei looked at the surging sea, his wrinkled face full of worry.

He immediately made a sea emergency call.

The Sea Police Department responded quickly, forwarding the information to the Rescue Bureau and the Sea Search and Rescue Center; this was already their third emergency call received.

Only then did Wu Yingwei learn that the Chen family had also placed an emergency call, because something had happened at sea!

Compared to Wu An still being unreachable, the Chen family side had proactively called for help, already made contact, and the relevant departments had responded positively.

Wu Yingwei's side also hurriedly reported to the village; the militia needs to cooperate with the rescue operation.

Originally, he was supposed to be responsible for that.

But now he really has no time to attend to it.

After Old Village Chief Shen learned of the situation, he immediately summoned Chen Gui.

Lao Xie saw Wu Yingwei standing in the wind and rain, wearing a raincoat, came over to greet him: "Old Wu, today the Chen family's trawler is going out to sea."

"Although the weather is bad now, it's still a trawler, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Wu Yingwei said: "Just now the Chen family made a police call, saying they had an accident at sea."

Lao Xie was taken aback and said: "That's pretty unlucky."

"Are you going to cooperate with the operation?"

"I'm not participating."

"Then why are you still standing here? Come on, come on, go to my place to take shelter from the rain."

Wu Yingwei shook his head: "Wu An also went out to sea today."

Lao Xie's face changed drastically: "What?"

"How did he also go out to sea?"

"This... that kid Wu An has good fortune; he'll surely come back safely."

"Come on, come on, just standing there watching won't help."

"You can see it clearly from my shop as well."

Lao Xie pulled Wu Yingwei along as they walked.

They arrived at the shop.

"Can't get in touch?" Lao Xie poured a cup of hot tea and asked: "Have you reported it to the police?"

Wu Yingwei nodded.

Lao Xie also looked out to sea, took a sip of hot tea, and said: "Then now... we can't do anything; we just have to wait."

Not long after.

Chen Gui brought people with him.

Wu Yingwei immediately went to meet him.

Seeing Wu Yingwei there, Chen Gui was taken aback, frowned and said: "Yingwei, so you're here after all."

"Since you're here, why did the village chief still summon me?"

"This damn weather..."

"What's the situation now?"

His face showed displeasure; in this weather, staying home watching TV and having a drink would be nice—only someone like Wu Yingwei, an idiot, would have nothing to do and run to the dock.

Wu Yingwei said: "Our village has two emergencies."

"First, the Chen family's trawler hit a reef and is now being towed to the dock; relevant departments have responded actively and need our cooperation."

"Second, Wu An set out by boat from Zhen Shang Ma Tou and is currently out of contact."

"Oh, there are two more, Wu... Wu An?" Chen Gui reacted, eyes widening: "You mean your second son is currently out of contact?"

Wu Yingwei nodded with a solemn face.

Other villagers gathered around, quickly comforting Wu Yingwei not to get anxious or angry, saying some auspicious words.

Chen Gui patted Wu Yingwei's shoulder and said: "Your second son has good luck at sea; maybe nothing will happen."

"Since we've already reported to the police."

"Then we'll just wait; when the professionals arrive, we'll cooperate."

Wu Yingwei clenched his face, saying nothing; he was already burning with anxiety.

Though said to be cooperating, in reality it's just waiting.

We can only wait.

We can't do anything else.

The dock is already stormy with huge waves; what must it be like out at sea?
