Chapter 441: Sea Turtle: All Done, I've Kidnapped the Killer Whale!

~7 min read 1,378 words

Wu An and the others weren't pretending.

They sat on the ground.

After all, the ship isn't home.

They just used an iron basin to hold the dishes; the presentation wasn't great, but the taste was still good.

Everyone ate and drank.

The food was all finished, and everyone let out loud burps from being full.

Finally, after smoking a cigarette, Wu An and the others returned to the fishing boat.

Lao Fu Tou didn't drink much.

He said he would stand watch.

Wu An advised that it wasn't necessary, but as a result Fan Lao Tou gave him a scolding.

At sea, no matter when, one must never let down one's guard.

Once you're careless, the sea will immediately give you a lesson.

Hearing Fan Lao Tou say that, Lao Fu Tou also nodded in agreement.

The two old men discussed it, with one taking the first half of the night watch and the other the second half, so these youngsters could get a good sleep.

At night the wind picked up; blowing on the body it felt cool, much more comfortable than air conditioning.

Wu An and the two others discussed it and simply decided to sleep on the deck, so opening their eyes they could see a sky full of stars.

The stars were really numerous.

Moreover, there was nothing obstructing the view; one could even clearly see that the stars varied in size.

A person's thoughts are infinitely magnified before the sea of stars.

Wu An hadn't even had a chance to immerse himself when he was interrupted by the sweat and fishy smell drifting over from nearby.

He sniffed.

It was coming from A Qing's body.

Wu An kicked him: "I told you to wipe yourself with water, didn't you?"

A Qing mumbled: "I'm lazy."

"Go wash up."

"Oh."

A Qing got up and went to wash himself briefly.

On his way back he also grabbed a blanket.

Wu An exclaimed in surprise: "You even thought of that?"

A Qing scratched his head: "Old Fu told me to take it."

The three of them lay side by side, sharing one blanket to cover their bellies.

Not long after.

The three of them began to snore, vying with each other.

After a while, Lao Fu Tou came over, looked, put back the blanket that A Qing had pulled off, then went back and picked up a cigarette to smoke.

……

The deep-night sea is not quiet.

Many predators are active at midnight, such as killer whales.

Why?

Because they're hungry.

Hu Zi quietly left the pod.

Killer whales rely on an advanced sonar system to lock onto prey, and Hu Zi is naturally no exception.

The reason he quietly left the pod is that he discovered a group of sea turtles.

After discovering the sea turtles, Hu Zi remembered that he had to do something big.

A good friend had asked him to bring a sea turtle when they met.

This little matter, he certainly had to take care of.

He is, after all, the most courteous killer whale.

Upon quickly approaching the sea turtle group, he did not just casually pick one.

Since it's a gift, he certainly had to choose carefully, picking the best one.

After the sea turtle group arrived near a small island, they stopped and did not continue wandering.

Hu Zi still did not rashly approach.

The time until his appointment with his friend was still early, so he had plenty of time to pick a gift.

From afar he observed these sea turtles, and they seemed to be eating something.

They kept chewing in their mouths.

Moreover, he found that most of these sea turtles had barnacles on them, which was not aesthetically pleasing.

They did not meet his mental standard for a gift.

Time passed second by second.

A small sea turtle broke away from the group and swam alone to a coral reef.

Hu Zi swam over silently.

He fixed his gaze on this sea turtle; although its size wasn't large, its shell had not a single barnacle, as if it had been cleaned.

As a gift, it was very suitable.

Hu Zi judged the sea turtle's movement trajectory for a while and swam ahead to get in front of it.

Then he lay on the coral reef.

The small sea turtle swam slowly forward, as if taking a stroll in its own backyard.

Indeed, that was indeed the case.

His tribe lived nearby on this small island, breeding and thriving.

Then he spotted a large creature.

Normally, upon seeing something that big, he would choose to flee.

But he sensed no killing intent from that large creature.

He recognized the large creature as a killer whale, so he did not rashly approach.

His family's elder had told him that one of the most dangerous killers in the sea was this sea slip.

He retreated.

Hu Zi moved forward.

He fled.

Hu Zi pursued.

Before the small sea turtle could react, Hu Zi bit it in one gulp.

Done for.

The small sea turtle's vision went black, and next it felt itself flying up.

The small sea turtle was dazed.

How am I flying in the sea?

He opened his eyes and found himself moving forward at an unimaginable speed.

He shook his head left and right and realized he was being pulled forward by Hu Zi.

He felt even stranger inside.

Where is this big creature taking him?

As he passed near the small island, he saw his own kin.

Goodbye, Mom; tonight I will set sail...

No…… wrong!

Mom…

I've been kidnapped by the sea slip!

Quick…… save……

The small sea turtle was like riding a high-speed train, a "whoosh" and it passed the small island.

…

The boat swayed slightly with the waves, like a large cradle.

After dawn, the sunlight was glaring.

Wu An yawned and sat up; although he said he was sleeping on the deck, he had slept very deeply.

It could be said he slept until morning.

He looked left and right.

A Qing and Mei Wu each curled up, still asleep; Lao Fu Tou was on watch for the first half of the night and was still sleeping now.

He got up, stood at the boat's edge, and first took a comfortable piss.

Hearing movement in the cabin, he looked back and saw Lao Fu Tou already up.

"Lao Fu, morning."

"Morning."

"What time is it?"

"Five thirty."

"No wonder you feel so refreshed waking up; you must have slept eight or nine hours—why not sleep a bit more?"

Lao Fu Tou waved his hand: "No need, I'm old and sleep less."

As the two spoke, A Qing and Mei Wu woke up, and Lao Fu Tou asked, "Shall we collect the crab pots?"

Wu An shook his head: "No rush, let's eat first."

"Let's collect after eating."

Next, only the crab pots need to be collected, with nothing else to do, so there's no need to rush; eating one's fill gives strength for work.

In the morning, just have a simple bite.

Wu An looked at the ingredients on the boat and decided to make a plain seafood porridge.

First, rinse the rice.

Next, prepare the main ingredient, the small blue dragon.

Take ones with smaller heads, about fifteen or sixteen, roughly two each, wash them clean, then split them open with a knife and quickly fry in oil.

Dice the small yellow fish and also fry them in the oil pot.

Finally, add the rinsed rice to stir-fry, then add water and bring to a boil.

Not long after.

The seafood porridge was ready.

Sprinkle in some chopped vegetables and scallions, and the flavor comes out.

Fan Dali was drawn by the aroma, asking what tasty thing had been cooked early that morning; Wu An told them to bring bowls to eat.

Fortunately the pot was big enough—just right for each person to have a large bowl.

After everyone had finished eating, they all felt a bit unsatisfied; A Qing even licked his bowl clean so it didn't need washing.

Finished eating.

He lit a cigarette; without Wu An saying a word, Lao Fu Tou went to start the boat and headed for Shuangzi Dao.
