Chapter 349 The fish is a little small, you guys just have to eat it
Brother Li looked ahead and said, "We call large fish sea beasts. I don't know what kind he is talking about."
"Oh!" Chen Yongwei slapped his head in annoyance, "I forgot to ask him if it's black and white. I'll call him this time to ask."
"Don't ask!" Brother Li laughed, "Huzi's swimming speed is much faster than ours. It's been an hour. Even they would have swum far away."
"Brother, you are right!" Chen Yongwei put down the intercom, "I'd better concentrate on learning how to sail from you. Brother Ale has already learned it."
"That's right, concentrate on learning how to drive a boat. When the big ship comes back, we will have to split two people to drive the big ship."
"Okay, I will definitely study hard."
Brother Li explained to him while driving the boat. The fishing boat moved forward at a constant speed. Time passed quickly and they would reach the Turtle Island waters in half an hour.
Brother Li, who was concentrating on operating the fishing boat, suddenly saw two killer whales jumping out of the water in front of him. He excitedly patted Chen Yongwei who was dozing off, and said, "Awei, look, there are killer whales ahead!"
"Wow, it's really tigers!" Chen Yongwei excitedly went to the cockpit window and saw several tigers jumping out of the sea. From time to time, they put their big round heads together for an intimate touch.
Brother Li also stretched his neck to look forward, looking at the killer whales with a smile, "I only saw two just now, but now there are five. It looks like the whole family is here."
"Brother, I'll go call Brother Ale!" Chen Yongwei turned around and ran towards the cabin, opened the door and shouted to Li Changle, "Brother, brother, Huzi is fishing in front, go and say hello to them.
"Ah!" Li Changle opened his eyes and looked at him, "How many?"
"Five heads!"
"I'll go check it out." Li Changle said as he got out of bed and put on his shoes. Wang Xincheng also got up, "Uncle A Le, I'll go check it out with you too."
Father Li saw this and pulled Li Changle with a worried look on his face, "Ah Le, don't provoke the sea beasts, what if..."
"Don't be afraid, Dad. The last group of killer whales also had five of them. They usually don't attack fishing boats."
"Uncle Tang, they know how to repay a favor. Last time, my second brother saved their mother, and they even drove fish for us to catch."
"Uncle Awei, have you ever rescued sea beasts? Don't they eat people?"
"They are different from other sea beasts. My brother said they are as smart as 15 or 16-year-old children..." Chen Yongwei said as he ran out with Li Changle.
Wang Xincheng followed him with a curious look on his face. Father Li was worried, so he simply put on his shoes and followed him out. Only the second brother Li, who was tired after a whole morning, was soundly sleeping.
Li Changle ran to the bow and saw five tiger whales in the ocean ahead. He waved at the killer whales in the distance, "Brother Tiger, good morning! Brother Tiger, I'm going to switch to a bigger boat..."
"Brother, they are swimming really fast, and they are getting a lot closer to us. Look, there are three big ones and two small ones, they are the Tiger brothers from last time."
After Chen Yongwei finished speaking, he excitedly imitated Li Changle and waved at the group of killer whales, "Brother Hu, we are here..."
Wang Xincheng looked at the sea beasts in front of him with a curious look on his face, "They are not dogs, why would they listen to us?"
Li Changle thought to himself, if you wait a few decades, you will know that in addition to being called sea beasts, some people also call them ocean huskies!
Li Changle continued to shout, "Brother Hu, wait for us to pull up the net, and then we'll treat you to a feast."
You also treat them to a big meal. Even if you are busy all day, it is not enough for them to eat one meal.
Father Li complained in his heart, fearing that they would call sea beasts over, even though he had heard them say several times that sea beasts had given them fish and even driven fish schools over for them to catch.
But these sea beasts all look the same, who knows if they are the same ones as before? Besides, these guys are much bigger than the dolphins last time. If we anger them and they rush over, it will be troublesome.
Father Li's mind was working quickly. Seeing that Li Changle was still shouting at Brother Huzi, he quickly grabbed him and said, "Okay, Ah Le, stop shouting. There are so many big beasts. If you anger them, it will be terrible..."
"Dad..." Li Changle saw that Father Li's face was red with nervousness, so he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue and nodded, "Okay, stop shouting. We'll stand here and watch for a while, then we'll go and get the net."
At this time, a killer whale seemed to have heard their shouts, looked up at the fishing boat, and its calls became more cheerful and loud, as if responding to him.
Immediately afterwards, several other killer whales also made cheerful and loud calls and swam towards the fishing boat at a faster speed.
"Haha!" Chen Yongwei laughed loudly, grabbing Li Changle and jumping for joy, "Brother, it's the group of killer whales that know us."
"Oh!" Father Li sighed upon seeing this, holding on to the side of the boat tightly, and silently prayed to the Sea Dragon Lord for protection, hoping that these sea beasts would not hurt anyone.
Wang Xincheng's face turned red with excitement. "Uncle A-Le, if they really come over here, what should we do? Will they hit us?"
"No!" Li Changle listened to the calls of the killer whales and determined that these killer whales were the ones who knew them. Judging from their appearance, they must still remember them.
Brother Li also waved at him happily and continued to drive the fishing boat forward. He saw several killer whales swimming in front of the fishing boat, raising their heads and making whimpering sounds towards Li Changle and others standing on the bow.
Li Changle leaned forward and said to Hu Zi, "Brother Hu Zi, we are going to pull up the net soon. Please stay away from us. When we pull up the trawl net, we will treat you to a feast."
Several killer whales shook their heads and cried a few times at him. The largest killer whale even nodded at him, turned around and swam in front of the fishing boat. The other killer whales immediately followed.
The last killer whale to catch up swam away, and just like last time when it asked them for help, it looked back at the fishing boat and made a loud call, as if beckoning them to catch up. The big ones heard the call, turned their heads to look over here, slowed down their swimming speed, and swam around the fishing boat from time to time.
Li Changle and Chen Yongwei leaned over to talk to several killer whales.
"Brother Hu, wait! We are going to start fishing soon. Once we start fishing, we will treat you to a feast."
"I'll pick some delicious fish for you to try then."
The killer whales seemed to understand and would swim to the side of the boat from time to time to interact with them.
Father Li and Wang Xincheng looked at the two people interacting with the killer whale with surprise and were amazed. How could there be a sea beast that likes to be close to humans like a dog?
The fishing boat followed several killer whales and moved forward. Li Changle checked the time and shouted to the killer whales, "Brother Hu, don't go too far. We will fish in the nets and treat you to a feast."
He then ran into the cab and said, "Brother, it's been more than two hours, let's get the net up."
"Okay!" Brother Li came to the speaker, "Everyone, take your positions and set up the net."
"Raise the net! Raise the net!"
Li Changle and the others took their positions. Second Brother Li rushed out of the cabin, stood in front of the machine and started the net-lifting machine. Suddenly, he saw killer whales playing and frolicking on the sea not far away, and his eyes widened.
"Ah Le, look, there's Tiger over there."
"We already knew about this..." Li Changle proudly told him about the killer whale. "Brother, we'll feed the fish to Tiger later."
"Okay!" Brother Li agreed readily.
Several people waited for the net bag to come up. When they saw the net bag bulging like it was about to burst, they all cheered happily, "The net is open, the catch is full of fish!"
"Hahaha, I hope we can catch some big fish and reward Brother Huzi."
"Katai..." Father Li rolled his eyes at Li Changle, then thought of the fact that he was the captain of the ship and the catches these sea beasts had given them, and swallowed back the words he wanted to say about him being a spendthrift.
Li Changle smiled awkwardly and held Father Li's arm, "Dad, Huzi has helped us a lot, and the two catches have earned us a lot of money, so don't feel bad about it!"
"You don't feel sorry for me, so why should I feel sorry for you?" Father Li said unhappily, and pulled Wang Xincheng and said, "Come here, Cheng, let Grandpa teach you how to untie and tie knots."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Chen Yongwei ran forward quickly and hung the net bag, and the crane arm lifted the net bag. Li's father and Wang Xincheng went forward to check and started working.
After the net bag was untied, golden bighead carp, pomfret, hairtail, yellow croaker, flounder, horse mackerel, pike, and swordfish... all rushed out.
Li Changle picked up the scoop net, scooped up a large mackerel weighing more than ten pounds each and poured it into the bamboo basket. Chen Yongwei scooped up several pike weighing at least ten pounds and poured them into the basket.
Father Li's mouth twitched as he watched, and he simply buried his head in sorting out the fishing nets, thinking that out of sight, out of heart...
Li Changle and several others carried bamboo baskets to the side of the boat and shouted to the tigers that were swimming not far away. Several tigers swam in front of the fishing boat, shaking their heads and tails and crying at them.
Li Changle grabbed a large mackerel and said, "Brother Hu, I have caught at least 3,000 kilograms of fish in this net. You can eat as much as you want. We can't see below, so we can only catch fish like this. Don't despise us!"
Before he finished speaking, Brother Li and Chen Yongwei grabbed the big fish and threw it to the tigers, "Brother Hu, the fish is a little small, you guys have to eat it..."
Hu Zi opened his mouth wide and caught the big fish that several people fed him. He called out happily a few times and slapped the water with his tail.
Brother Li from the cab also ran out, pulled over the fish that Wang Xincheng had packed, and continued feeding them.
Wang Xincheng also stepped forward to feed them, "Haha, they really ate it..."
Li Changle grabbed a large yellow croaker and said, "Brother Hu, yellow croaker is delicious, fresh and tender, and the color is not very yellow when it comes out of the water.
When you hunt underwater, look for the yellow and golden ones. They taste the same as this one. There are also the ones that make a cooing sound. They taste great too. I guarantee you will like them after you try them."
"Brother Hu, big fish tastes good, so don't eat the small ones. If you want to eat, eat the big ones..."
"Can they understand?" Brother Li glared at Li Changle in annoyance, "Why don't you teach them to recognize hairtail, yellow croaker, giant grouper... When you see them, take a few pictures for us."
Father Li, who was furious at the side, laughed when he heard this. "Look, these idiots, who are over a hundred years old in total, are talking in their sleep in broad daylight."
After feeding several baskets of fish, the largest tiger nodded its head towards the people, then suddenly dived into the water, and the others followed suit.
Chen Yongwei looked at the fish in the bamboo basket and said, "Brother, how come they are full after eating so little?"
Brother Li sighed, "These big guys understand human nature. They may be worried that they will eat up all our fish, so they went down to look for food themselves."
Li Changle watched Hu Zi dive into the water, and a scene flashed through his mind. He hurriedly shouted to the others, "Hurry up and hide to the side."
